Chairman's Message
Dear Stakeholders,
I have great pleasure in informing you that your company has successfully implementing various projects and developing various products both in e-education and IT/ITES, despite a volatile external environment
A journey of success always requires the qualities of foresight, strategy and preparedness. All these, along with the power of trust are at the core of all our operations.
Our inspiration comes from your trust and willingness to believe in our capability to deliver. We have continued our practice to consistently reward our shareholders with dividend as and when cash flows of the company permitted. The company started giving dividend in the year 2009 and continued the saga in the year 2010 and 2012.
Commitment, hard work, common sense and perseverance have helped the company to be on par with international companies in terms of standards of performance and quality of projects. The journey towards excellence is inspired by what Firstobject has always done – deliver superior value for all those who depend on us, work with us and invest in us.
Looking ahead, global macro-economic challenges persist, especially in the USA where the bulk of operations take place. The world is witnessing slower GDP growth as well as minimal employment prospects across developed and emerging markets. Currency volatility continues. Corporations across the world are walking a tightrope trying to juggle tight IT budgets, control on costs and stock market and investor expectations. These issues are likely to cloud prospects in the short-term. However, this is not a new phenomenon and global corporations recognize that they need to be nimble to adapt to changes in the environment by bringing new products and solutions to market.
To remain in business, organizations have to constantly think of newer ideas. Firstobject has built skills and resources in the areas of E-Education which comprises ICT-Interactive Class Room Teaching through the educational content which can offer the competitive advantage to the organization. We are working hard on scaling up the level of revenues in this area. Our business philosophy is to come up with the expectations of our clients. Our efforts have been geared to delight our clients by providing them truly quality solutions. In our constant endeavour to improve and reach the heights of excellence, we have always valued the participation, support and direction of our esteemed clients.
We continually strive to innovate and improvise our methodology so as to provide the best work solutions for our existing clients and reach out to the new ones with equal fervour.
