\r\n\r\nWe’ve landed with a bang in the 10th year of making data look cool. Yes, today we complete 9 years as a company.\r\n\r\nIt was a mighty awesome year we had. We moved to our new Bangalore office, expanded our team and released FusionCharts v3.2.1 in January, followed by FusionCharts XT earlier this month. Being almost a decade old makes us proud and humbled at the same time. Here’s an infographic showcasing our proudest moments and milestones over the past 9 years…<\/div>\r\n\r\n

\"FusionCharts-<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n

9th Birthday Easter Egg<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Noticed the little dude in the picture? In so many ways he is what FusionCharts is. Peek below to know him better!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"GoGetIt<\/a>
The Doer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"ScienceBoy\"<\/a>
The Thinker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"GourmetDude\"<\/a>
The Master Chef<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
\"SuperDude\"<\/a>
Our Personal Superhero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n
<\/div>\r\n

But our dude is currently nameless, and the way we\u2019ve come to love him we can\u2019t let that continue, can we? \u2018Dude\u2019 is good but then it isn\u2019t nice calling a fellow being just \u2018Dude\u2019, right?<\/p>\r\n\r\nWe tried Bubu- the awesomest guy on the internet, but he didn\u2019t like the sound of it. We then tried Chikna, you know, the looker dude appeal, but got some blank stares when we passed it around. No one liked it.\r\n\r\nAnd now we\u2019ve ended up with as little hair as him, scratching our heads for the right nick. Care to help us save what\u2019s left of our hairline? All you got to do is head over to our Facebook page<\/a> and suggest or vote on some options.\r\n\r\nOh, and since it\u2019s serious business with us we \u2018re also giving away some really nice dude-cool t-shirts to 9 lucky winners this week. You don\u2019t turn 9 every year, do you?\r\n\r\nWe\u2019re kicked to know what you guys will come up with and so is the Dude (you bet!). See you on Facebook then.\r\n

\r\nAnd we’d appreciate it if you shared the love while you are at it!<\/div>\r\nOh, and yes, happy birthday to us and thanks for your wishes too! \ud83d\ude42","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
