Dear
Messrs. Edgar and Derby and Mses. Wilson and Collins:
On

For

Assets – includes CDs” in the capitalization table on page 29 of the Amendment as requested by the Staff. Additionally,

You
state in your response to prior comment 3 that revenue for support services is 6.97% of the contract value and revenue attributable
to implementation services will be immaterial. Please clarify what the 6.97% represents and how it relates to the service revenues
recognized, which appear to range from approximately 15% -26% of total revenue during the periods presented. In addition, explain
your basis for concluding that implementation services are immaterial and in your response, tell us the amount of revenue related
to implementation services for each period presented.
Response:
Support Services. In response to this comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that revenue from technical
support services provided to our customers ranges from 15%-26% of the Company’s total revenue. The revenue generated
from technical support services is derived from two sources, as described on pages F-8 and F-18 of the Amendment
and elaborated below.
The first source of revenue derived from technical support services is generated from a product contract, which includes support
services over the contract term. The fees for these support services are paid by the customer over the term of the contract. The 6.97%
referenced by the Staff reflects the percentage of the total value of contract that is specifically attributable to the standalone selling
price of technical support services.
The
second source of revenue derived from technical support services is generated from standalone service contracts, entered into after
the initial sale of one our products under which the Company will provide its customers with technical supports services over a stipulated
term. The fees for these standalone support services are paid by the customer based on the terms of the standalone contract.
As stated
above, the aggregate revenue from support services has ranged from approximately 15%-26% of the Company’s total revenue over historical periods.
Implementation
Services. In response to this comment, the Company respectfully advises the Staff that implementation services refer solely to services
provided by the Company to configure our products to the customer’s network, which typically takes one-to-two hours per unit configured.
Costs associated with implementation services are borne by the Company and not charged to the customer. No revenue is derived from implementation
services.
For
clarity, our Company is primarily product-based, and our revenue is primarily derived from selling such products, not providing implementation
or support services. FatPipe is headquartered in the United States, and the Company makes software based on U.S. intellectual property,
similar to Fortinet or Juniper.
We
hope the above response clarifies the Staff’s comments. If the Staff has any further questions as it relates to implementation
services, the Company would like to request a call with the Staff to clarify further, if needed.
We
hope that we have answered all the queries from the Staff, and look forward to completing the Company’s initial public offering.
