Halcyon Solutions was given the prestigious Small Business Leader Award by the Columbus Chamber of Commerce at its Annual Meeting, which was attended by a record-breaking crowd of over 1,600 attendees. For the last 30 years, the Columbus Chamber has been recognizing small businesses that show substantiated success through increasing sales, number of employees and contributions to the community.

“As an immigrant, I am indebted to this country for giving me the opportunity to succeed and grow a successful IT Consulting business. But being successful only in business is not sufficient for us – we are as focused on our Social Responsibility mission by giving back to the community that we exist in,” said Mohan Viddam, Chairman and CEO of Halcyon Solutions. “I would like to thank all my employees who truly epitomize the vision of ‘ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country’”.

“Halcyon has grown in excess of 25% over the past 5 years, while at the same time creating many more jobs in the Columbus area. Our clients have recognized the value we provide to them in areas of software development, data analytics and other IT Consulting services”, said Sanjay Dudaney, Executive Consultant at Halcyon Solutions. “In addition, Halcyon’s Veterans Workforce Development Program has successfully demonstrated the concept of “shared value”, defined as the economic value created by a company in the marketplace in ways that also creates value for society.”
