Dear shareholders,
In 2014, your Companycompleted 25 years and I takethis opportunity to share the silver
jubilee report with you.
The Company started off as aninfant baby, whom we loved andcared of. As it moved ahead it
fell down, got up and learnt. Wewere delighted at its successesand quietly suffered failures. Ourteam gave top priority to thenurture of this child through yearsof dedication, enthusiasm andaffection.
Completing 25 years is a majormilestone for the Company. Itmarks the beginning of a youngbut matured Company that ismore energetic, is stronger thanever before and has confidenceto take on bigger challenges. Itis the time for the Company to
