For the fourth quarter (January-March) of the fiscal, the gross addition was 5,992 and net addition 2,809.","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/ads.adgenta.com\/ads\/ads.dll\/view?client=deshkapoor&amp;GUID=05%2F07%2F07+06%3A16%3A49&amp;width=364&amp;height=70&amp;bgColor=ffffff&amp;FOOTER_COLOR=ffffff&amp;FOOTER_GRADIENT=0&amp;TF_C=0000ff&amp;DF_C=000000&amp;DMF_C=0000ff&amp;FF_C=000000&amp;keywords=software"}
