Foiwe aims 40 per cent growth in revenue in next 2-3 years
KOLKATA: Foiwe, an information technology (IT) and ITES organisation providing services in the areas of outsourcing, consulting, technology, content moderation and social media management, aims to report at least 40 per cent growth in revenue in the next 2-3 years.
“We have had a steady growth in the past and so in the next 2-3 years, we expect 40 per cent growth in terms of revenue if not more. We have some new contracts in the pipeline for 2015,” said Foiwe founder and managing director Suman Howlader.
The primary focus area for the company is its enterprise content management and moderation services. Users across the globe are generating billions of kilobytes of content and are publishing over the internet in various forms such as text, images, videos, blog posts, reviews, feedback etc.
“Sometimes users may generate bad content which can potentially impact the brand reputation. To safeguard brands online, it is important that these user generated contents on website, forums or blogs are appropriate and managed well. When user generated contents are controlled efficiently, one’s online presence becomes more credible amongst its users,” he added.
“Currently we have a team of about 60 computer engineering graduates as employees and we are still hiring. The 100th recourse should be onboard by mid 2015,” he said.
The team comprises experienced technologists and consultants working on complex business problems. “We help our clients to support more than 90 million end users across the globe,” informed Howlader.
With its headquarter in Bangalore, Foiwe has its other two offices in Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Foiwe organises its services and people in these three primary cross-functional groupings.
“We are in the process of having another branch office near Kolkata by end of 2015. We are also planning for our presence in USA and Europe by 2016,” he concluded.

Why Peaky Blinders is one of television’s biggest hits that still deserves more attention
Six seasons, multiple awards and the release of Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man bring the Shelby saga back into the spotlight
In the crowded universe of streaming content, only a handful of shows manage to leave a lasting cultural footprint. Peaky Blinders is overwhelmingly considered one of the biggest global hits of the past decade. Yet many viewers still haven’t fully explored the dark, gripping world of the Shelby family.
Originally produced for the UK’s BBC and later finding a massive global audience through Netflix, the series quietly grew from a British period drama into a worldwide streaming phenomenon.
Created by Steven Knight, the show follows the rise of the Shelby crime family in post-First World War Birmingham. What begins as a gritty street-gang story gradually expands into a sweeping narrative about ambition, politics, power and survival.
At the centre of the saga is Thomas Shelby, portrayed with extraordinary depth by Cillian Murphy. The casting of Murphy is widely regarded as perfect for the role. With piercing eyes, restrained dialogue and an almost hypnotic screen presence, he transforms Shelby into one of the most unforgettable characters in modern screen storytelling.
Murphy’s brilliance lies in his restraint. He rarely shouts or performs theatrically. Instead, a quiet stare, a calculated pause or a subtle shift in expression conveys the emotional storms within the character. Beneath the ruthless gang leader is a war veteran carrying trauma, guilt and loneliness. Murphy captures this complexity with remarkable precision, making Thomas Shelby both terrifying and deeply human.
Beyond its central performance, Peaky Blinders stands out for its unfiltered portrayal of reality. The show does not romanticise crime. Instead, it exposes the harsh social conditions of early 20th-century Britain, from poverty and class struggle to political extremism and the psychological scars left by war.
The series also presents powerful female characters who hold their own within the Shelby empire. Polly Gray, played by Helen McCrory, is the strategic backbone of the family and one of the most formidable figures in the story. Women in the series shape decisions, influence power structures and challenge the rigid social norms of the time.
Across six seasons, the narrative grows dramatically in scale. What begins in the smoky streets of Birmingham evolves into a story involving political conspiracies, fascism and international criminal networks.
The series has also earned significant critical acclaim. It won the BAFTA Television Award for Best Drama Series in 2018 and multiple National Television Awards for Best Drama, cementing its reputation as one of Britain’s most celebrated modern shows.
Another defining feature of the series is its iconic music. The show’s opening theme, Red Right Hand by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, became instantly recognisable and widely associated with the Shelby universe. Combined with a powerful soundtrack featuring artists such as Arctic Monkeys and Radiohead, the music helped shape the show’s dark, stylish identity and became hugely popular among fans.
And the Shelby story is not over yet.
In fact, its legacy is unfolding right now. The long-awaited feature-length continuation, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, was released on March 6, 2026, bringing the Shelby universe from streaming screens to cinemas and giving fans a new chapter in the saga.
For viewers who have not yet stepped into this world, the timing could not be better.
Six gripping seasons are ready to binge on Netflix. A new film has just arrived in theatres. And at the heart of it all stands one of the most magnetic performances in modern drama by Cillian Murphy.
So if Peaky Blinders has been sitting on your watchlist for years, this weekend is your moment.
So, by order of the Peaky fookin’ Blinders, consider this your cue to finally step into the ruthless world of Thomas Shelby. Pour yourself a drink, clear your schedule and press the play button. Because when the Peaky Blinders give an order, you listen.
