Dear Shareholders,
Hospitality sector in India is constantly evolving keeping in tune with
global trade & commerce. With globalization come opportunities,
challenges and competition amongst domestic as well as international
players. The economic scenario since year 2008 has witnessed quite a
bit of ups & downs and same is continuing at present in terms of
economic growth. There has been economic turmoil across the developed
and developing countries which has affected the overall growth
parameters. In India, we have seen high inflation, food prices being
escalated and interest rates being hiked during last & current year
which had its effect not only on hospitality sector but manufacturing &
service sectors too. There has been major cost cutting on part of
individuals & corporate companies to address this economic situation.
In spite of this prevailing economic scenario, during the year under
review, your company has achieved a remarkable annual sales turnover of
Rs. 12,385.67 lakhs in the current year, which was Rs. 8862.94 lakhs
during the previous year. The Company has been able to maintain
persistent growth on year to year basis. We have remained loyal to our
mission providing highest level of customer satisfaction, best quality
services & value to our shareholders on the long run. Last year, your
company in midst of economic turmoil has successfully completed its
most ambitious 5 star deluxe hotel, convention center & club project at
Surat. As committed, the project at Surat has fully commenced its
business and has already started generating revenue by providing
luxurious rooms, convention centre facilities, banquets, restaurants
and a club.
In coming years with advent of globalization & faith in robust economic
growth story of India, coupled with various economic initiatives, the
domestic tourism & hotel business indicate a trend towards rapid
growth. Another key development & a positive economic indicator is the
rise in net disposable incomes of the general population. The Company
is looking forward to capitalize on the opportunities in the market &
to focus on both corporate & non-corporate customer segments.
The vibrant economic status of Gujarat would directly benefit your
company as we have our star category hotels in important cities of the
state like Ahmedabad, Surat & Rajkot. Today, the state of Gujarat is
witnessing huge investments from across the globe and same will give
further flip to hospitality sector. Your company stands to gain from
such opportunities as we have Unique Banqueting Module which can
cater to any kind of functions or corporate launches other than
benefiting from room revenues.
Your company has also benefited immensely from their other business
verticals which have helped in sustaining the growth. Your company is
the only corporatized outdoor catering company and enjoys a worthy
reputation among the clientele. Our present Management Services
vertical also has received numerous inquiries from leading hospitality
chains to manage their properties; in near future we shall manage such
properties in cities of Nagpur, Indore, Nathdwara and Vadodara, adding
more as we move forward.
It is our endeavor to create grand moments and grand memories for our
guest and true value for our valued stakeholders. The company shall
keep raising the benchmark, looking for more opportunities to have
consistent and sustainable growth in coming years. We stay committed to
our vision & mission creating one of the most respected, service
oriented hospitality company.
Best Wishes,
Narendra Somani
Chairman & Managing Director
