Over the last five quarters the operations of the company have stabilized sufficiently to demonstrate consistent operating results which the Board believes is sustainable, based on the fact that company continues to acquire customers and retains the support of its existing customers. The company, however, continues to be adversely impacted by the high debt burden. This stands at INR 2,400 crores. The Board of Directors has advised the management to work with the lenders on restructuring / realigning the debt with a view to sustain long term viability of the Company.
This is to inform that Ms. Sarojini Dikhale has been appointed as an Additional Director on the Board of the Company with immediate effect i.e. July 28, 2015. With her qualification and immense experience in the BFSI sector, her presence on the Board would benefit the Company immensely and would at the same time provide the much needed diversity.
