History

Subex was founded in 1992 by Subash Menon and Alex Puthenchira as a marketing company; the word "Subex" is a portmanteau of the founders' first names. [1] The company then started providing enterprise software services like revenue assurance, fraud detection and network analytics to telecom operators. [2] The company went public in July 1999, and got listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India. [3]

In 2006, Subex acquired British firm Azure Solutions for US$140 million in a merger deal and renamed itself as Subex Azure Limited. The acquisition was then the biggest by an Indian IT company. [1] In 2007, the company acquired Syndesis, a Canadian operations support software company, for US$164.5 million. [4] The company's GDR was issued on the London Stock Exchange in March 2007. [5]

Subex's debt rose during the 2008 global financial crisis, due to the foreign currency convertible bonds (FCCBs) issued to fund the acquisitions. [6] [7] In 2011, Subex sold the provisioning and activation verticals of Syndesis to Netcracker Technology. [8] In 2012, Menon resigned from the company, [9] and Surjeet Singh was named the new CEO and managing director. [10] By 2016, Subex converted the FCCBs and was reported to have become a debt-free company. [11] [12]

In 2018, Vinod Kumar was appointed as the CEO and managing director of Subex. [13] The company then expanded its business operations to the domains of Internet of Things (IoT) security, artificial intelligence and digital trust. [14] [15] [16] In April 2021, Subex launched an enterprise cloud-native augmented analytics platform named HyperSense. [17] [18]
