“We are excited to announce the launch of Sprint 2.0. While earlier, Sprint just focussed on crowdsourcing solutions from the developers’ community, the new version will focus on creating a holistic innovation management unit within a company, paving the way for greater creativity and a culture of innovation. The core motivation behind the new version was encapsulating the learnings that we had got through 1000 innovation campaigns over the last 2 years and weave the rich data intelligence into the product. We have also increased our focus on security, customization and verticalization of the product across various industries. In this age of rapid digital disruption, businesses are facing existential business problems, Sprint is an indispensable platform for business to tackle these problems through both internal and external audiences.”
