Corporate Overview Statutory Reports Financial Statements
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 26thAnnual General Meeting of your Company.
Industry outlook
The IT sector in India stood at US$177 billion in 2019 witnessing a growth of 6.1 per cent year-on-year and is estimated that the size of the industry will grow to US$ 350 billion by 2025.This is indicative of the fact that IT is continuously growing.
Road Ahead
The global sourcing market in India continues to grow at a higher pace compared to the IT industry. India is the leading sourcing destination across the world, accounting for approximately 55 per cent market share of the US$ 200-250 billion global services sourcing business in 2019-20. Indian IT companies have set up over 1,000 global delivery centers in about 80 countries across the world.
India has become the digital capabilities hub of the world with around 75 per cent of global digital talent present in the country.
Key Emerging Technologies
Nearly 46% of new revenue growth in technology sector is attributed to emerging technologies.
• IoT hardware and software • AI Platforms/Applications• SaaS + PaaS • Big Data/Analytics• IoT connectivity • Enterprise Social Software• Robotics/Drones • Next Gen Security• AR/VR
Smart Cities: The Future of Urban Development
The challenge of building a smart city far surpasses the “simple” engineering obstacles to creating a fully connected urban environment. To employ a biological analogy, it’s more like genetic engineering than mechanical engineering, and part of the solution will require rewriting a city’s DNA — that is, its people.
The engineering obstacles certainly are formidable. Any smart city worth its salt will possess a fully integrated infrastructure, with smart transportation services (including autonomous vehicles), internet and communication systems, water services, and electrical and power grids all connected and unified. Such a massive, city-wide system will undoubtedly require significant upgrades in infrastructural computing power just to process the massive amounts of raw data. New algorithms and AI programs will each have their roles to play, and the largest cities will have an Intelligent Command & Control Center (iCCC) to monitor and manage centrally.
The future smart city will employ a number of purpose-built AI programs and machine-learning algorithms to process the vast amounts of incoming “sensory” data. These programs will leverage rapid improvements in computing and neural networks in the coming decades. In fact, smart cities may witness the birth of the first truly “human-scale” AIs capable of reactive and independent cognition.
Your Company
Having bagged 4 prestigious Smart city projects, we are poised to remain a leading player in the Master System Integrator (MSI) space.
Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the ongoing automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using modern smart technology. Much before it became the buzzword your company with its Disruption driven strategy was at the forefront adopting smart technology and offering digital solutions across the spectrum of various industries. This was a result of the thought leadership existing in the management team.

Hello Investors,
What a solid year it has been for all of us. The year 2019-20 has seen huge growth in sales and is depicting in our revenue increase. The numbers clearly predict the growth picture. We have continued to add new, and also large customers in the US as well as in India. The sales and deliver teams have been on their toes, executing on smart cities and doing transition of newly acquired global enterprise service customers.
More importantly, it has been a perfect blend of business strategy, flawless execution and committed customer relationship management. We continued to apply breaks on our finance costs, and have further improved our operational strengths in Europe. We bagged another smart city project in the early quarters and have witnessed consistent upsurge in sales every quarter. This speaks about growth consistency and good management governance. The year further ended on a brighter side of releasing our new software platform ADiTaaS 5.0 and creating a new global “center of excellence” in service delivery. Besides, we have created a huge capacity of office space at our Mahape premises in anticipation of growing opportunities for the company.
The current year has started with a big challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic. Globally, it has triggered a huge economic pressure. Along with several industries, IT industry too is impacted. But fortunately, I would like to say that we see ourselves as ‘mildly impacted’. The savior has been our annuity contracts, which are keeping the “lights on” of so many customers. The other factor is our ability to stretch and go the extra mile during the crisis. Further, we have been absolutely on the dot in our service delivery, due to our “Always-On” infrastructure and business continuity planning. Our resources are able to work remotely, and as well, we are able to take some strategic decisions to provide services as “Essential” to critical customers such as healthcare and government. This meticulous business continuity planning has given us some great customer appreciation. During this tough time, the management team has huddled to invest time in sharpening our technology skills, initiating new business lines like IoT and AI and propelling new marketing plans to bounce higher when macro-economic factors improve.
As the year further unfolds, global business growth would start their upward journey by the end of third quarter. Our strengthened business development engines will generate new wins. Our sharpened resource skills and continued customer satisfaction and value offerings should help farm more revenues from existing customers. The new partnerships will open new sales pipelines and our next generation technology adoptions in AI and IoT will scale our long-term growth. For us, the drivers will continue to be in large enterprise contracts and smart city related opportunities. We see acceleration on cloud and managed security business, and our readiness in AI (Artificial Intelligence) Robotic Process Automation, and IoT is soon going to take a growth path in the last quarter. We see the current situation as an opportunity for introspection and preparation for next big growth, thus our outlook remains positive.
Thanks to the management vision and continued support from you all, I strongly believe that our motto of “Passion, Teamwork and Innovation” will withstand the challenging economic weather and we will remain tall, backed by robust company growth and your trust in us.

Integrated Solutions Group
It is my pleasure to inform you that your company was successful in winning three more Smart City Projects during the year: Aurangabad Smart City, Bidkin (Maharashtra) and Kalyan Dombivli Smart City Projects in Consortium Biddings. The contract period for these projects are for five years with assured revenue and growth potential due to possible expansions and scaling up of the scope during this period.
Presently, these projects are under execution in addition to Rajkot Smart City that is nearing completion. Each of these projects addresses issues related to their specific location with solution portfolio that deals with these challenges to provide better quality of life for its citizens leveraging on emerging technology for efficient Governance. Delivering such projects enhances your company’s established core competency as a leading Master Systems Integrator (MSI) in the country.
Furthermore, your company has taken measures to create inhouse development capability for some solution component that integrates several autonomous systems and their technologies. One such result of this initiative is the in house developed IP based Public Address System (PAS) and its Software that unlike competitive proprietary Public Address System, runs on the existing IT infrastructure such as Server and the digital backbone network. The in house developed IP PAS
integrates with the Video Surveillance System with analytics software to detect violation of social distancing norms and on detection automatically make public announcement by playing pre-recorded messages at those sites. Similarly, it can be programmed to integrate with other systems such as CCTV or Access Control to detect any defined event and make appropriate announcement automatically. Of course, manual announcement can also be made if required.
Through In-house development such as mentioned above your company is able to achieve significant reduction in total cost of ownership of the entire solution giving it competitive advantage in bidding and post winning in Operation and Maintenance for the solution life cycle. Your company strives to reduce dependencies on certain costly third-party proprietary systems through in-house innovative development and solutions.
Many Enterprise class Physical Security Projects such as Critical Infrastructure protection, Smart Campus, Smart City, Retail and Malls are now adopting emerging technology that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enhances the capability of systems such as Video Surveillance with Video Analytics for detecting presence and movement of people, Crowd gathering and direction of movement, Face Recognition, Access Control System and Perimeter protection system. Your company has aligned with leading international organizations that offers such solution and also scaling up its own capability in creating AI and Machine Learning (ML) based solution.
Some states, especially those in the coastal regions, as part of National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project (NCRMP) have floated RFPs for Early Warning Dissemination System (EWDS) to Alert people in the area of impending cyclone or event that could cause disaster on a large scale. Most of these systems are deployed on the ICT infrastructure requiring Integration of multiple systems and your company is participating in these opportunities as an MSI. More states will opt for EWDS systems and these projects are generally funded by the World Bank.
The Covid 19 Pandemic and the Lock down has impacted the industry with some delay in execution of the projects and finalization of many contracts. The industry has made effort to overcome these challenges by adopting practises such as Work from Home. As these measures have been implemented globally by almost all organization there has been a change in the work culture. With the availability of various platforms and their increased usage there has also been an improvement in efficiency in remote working conditions. Your company has successfully adapted its operations to align with the demands of remote working.
In addition to the existing Pune Safe City project, the acquisition of five smart city projects with their contract period spanning over five years and with its participation in opportunities in EWDS, Critical infrastructure protection, Banks, Retail Space and other Smart City projects your company is positioned to increase its market share in the Integrated solutions business.
