In his tweet expressing his joy, Professor Ugail congratulated the local developer's progress at the international platforms. He also suggested that in the future, this field can be broadened in the Maldives as well.

Professor Ugails tweet comes following the LottieFiles leading on global news after landing USD 9 Million from Microsoft.

LottieFiles, a part Maldivian team running a platform for JSON-based Lottie animations, has raised a Series A of $9 million. The round was led by M12, Microsoft’s venture capital arm, with participation from returning investor 500 Startups.

LottieFiles is a platform for testing, collaborating, and discovering animations mainly catering to a community of animators, designers, developers, and engineers. Lottie enables designers to ship animations on any platform as easily as shipping static assets.

The platform includes Lottie creation, editing and testing tools, and a marketplace for animations. It now claims about one million users from 65,000 companies, including Airbnb, Google, TikTok, Disney, and Netflix, and 300% year-over-year growth.
