/ -- deAsra, a not-for-profit organisation founded and funded by Dr. Anand Deshpande, Chairman and MD of Persistent Systems, recently celebrated the milestone of supporting and guiding 25,000+ aspiring & existing small business entrepreneurs, a goal that was set to be achieved by 2020. Dr. Deshpande said, "When we started, we set up 25,000 beneficiaries by 2020 as the goal, and at that time many did not believe that this was possible. We have not only achieved the goal but have achieved it in less than the 5 years we had set up for this. While we have achieved our first milestone well in time, our mission continues. We have many more businesses to support and much work to do!"
