Who we are Originally founded as a Microsoft Certified Partner to develop products & services for small to medium businesses in India, Lucid rapidly expanded its footprint by offering Product Engineering Services ranging from prototyping, testing, co-development and support across technologies, to start-ups and established software product companies in North America. Lucid also incubated and launched the offshore development center for a Valley based start-up in the Financial Services space. We established the engineering processes, hand-picked and trained a core team of 50+ people in the company’s products and integrated the team with the core engineering team in California, to ensure that they delivered results that always exceeded client expectations. In early 2010, Lucid started offering specialized solutions in Business Intelligence and Analytics, with a special focus on Sustainability under the LucidGREENTM umbrella. Additionally, based on its previous track record of developing products and being a successful co-development engineering partner, Lucid re-launched its Product Engineering Services and is co-developing a product in the Environment Health Safety and Sustainability (EHSS) space. By mid-2010, Lucid also established a US presence through a wholly owned subsidiary.
