Mobile Expansion Details
The acquisition will augment the company's platform by extending Whatfix's 
mobile capabilities. Leap's toolset will seamlessly integrate with Whatfix's 
existing applications by adding guidance to mobile apps to improve activations 
and adoption, reduce time-to-ship for onboarding experiences, and increase the 
customization of user experiences overall.

"The shift to mobile is one of the most important business dynamics of recent 
years, especially amid the expansion of remote work," said Khadim Batti, CEO 
and cofounder of Whatfix. "We're eager to bring on the Leap team to augment our 
mobile capabilities and to sharpen our focus on this absolutely essential 
segment."

This acquisition follows an extremely successful year for Whatfix, during which 
the company achieved 76% YoY revenue growth, 85% increase in new business 
revenue, and 250% increase in revenue from existing business. Other milestones 
include closing new partnerships and enterprise customers, earning recognition 
from top analyst firms, and winning several industry awards including the 
Deloitte Technology Fast 500.

"Whatfix is the industry leading Digital Adoption platform (DAP) and we are 
thrilled to join forces with Whatfix to help extend its DAP leadership to 
mobile," said Kushargra Sinha, CEO & cofounder, Leap. "Our common goal has 
always been to accelerate user adoption of software products and Leap's mobile 
offering fits perfectly with Whatfix's browser and desktop offerings. Joining 
Whatfix feels like a natural progression in our journey"

Desktop and Web Expansions
As a part of the company's continued product innovation, Whatfix also launched 
Whatfix Studio, a more intuitive and powerful iteration of the current content 
editor. Studio is built on a low-code platform, enabling content creators to 
fully leverage its capabilities with little to no technical skills.. The 
easy-to-use UI enables creators to seamlessly design customized end-to-end 
journeys for end users. Whatfix Studio reduces content creation time, improves 
quality of content and experiences, and helps improve user engagement on 
applications on which it is deployed.

Whatfix is also introducing a significant revamp to its Desktop offering. This 
is aimed at making the application more scalable and stable, while also 
providing the foundation for robust new capabilities and bringing Whatfix's 
desktop capabilities at par with the Web experience. With this revamp, Whatfix 
extends its DAP offering to all applications running on Windows 10, and offers 
out-of-the-box support for popular ERP such as SAP ERP and collaboration 
applications such as Microsoft Teams.

Additionally, Whatfix is launching Whatfix Hub. With this, enterprises can 
offer their users guidance on all web and desktop applications on which Whatfix 
is enabled, right from the user's desktop. Customers can also use Hub for 
enhancing their employees' onboarding experience and driving continuous 
engagement through targeted communication right on the employee's desktop.
