DOT1 was started by Sanjay Hiranandani, a chartered accountant by training, along with people who earlier worked for global majors like SAP, Siemens, Accenture, and Capgemini. 

Crest Capital & Investment acquired 25% stake in DOT1 Solutions through the CCD route, however, the two parties are not disclosing other details of the transaction. The new funds will be used for expanding the business of the company, which within a year of its launch has companies like Kirloskar Systech (a Kirloskar group company), Sula Vineyards (India's leading winemaker), and MT Educare (popularly Mahesh Tutorials) as its clients.
