Dear Shareholders
The year 2010 is slated to be year of consolidation, honing our skill
set and putting behind all challenges. Plethico, during the year 2010
observed strong growth momentum, marked by a financial turnaround and
robust operational performance, aimed at securing future growth
drivers. Despite overall global meltdown, tremendous foreign currency
turbulence, fierce competition and lot of other operational odds
including search and seizure operations conducted against the company
by the income tax department during September 2010, the company has
come- up with the flying colours and registered comparatively
significant growth not only in domestic markets but also in the
international markets. Being significant global player, we could
understand nuances better and able to implement them in the new
paradigm.
During 2010 , our concentration and focus was more towards emerging
markets that have un-tapped potentials as compared to the developed
markets. In next couple of years, the focus will continue to be in CIS,
GCC and Africa as well as in South East Asia, Latin America and Europe.
I am proud to say that most of the clients to whom we cater to are
satisfied with our specialized product profile. Being industry expert,
we predicted long back that investment in novel molecules would be
better rather than plain low-cost generics and follow on biologics. We
also realized that opportunity is growing at a faster pace than before,
and we have to participate in new markets through new enabling
technologies and aggressive business strategies. We identified
roadblocks that may hinder progress of the company. We aligned all our
activities and business operations and geared- up efforts in the
direction that secures maximum growth both in terms of top and bottom
line. In our efforts, we got maximum mileage through strategic
alliances that enabled access to technologies, markets, products and
competencies. We leveraged breadth of our portfolio and market
leadership to bring blockbuster products at global marketplaces.
Today, Plethico has a very competent management team and an effective
information system in place needed to ensure smooth business operations
all-around. And in the end, it is the customer who got benefitted both
in terms of quality products and better healthcare solutions at an
affordable cost.
At Plethico, we encourage a culture of teamwork, transparency and trust
for superior operational governances. Our biggest strength lies in our
highly committed people who take great pride in their work. We
continuously invest in the development of our people to benchmark
ourselves externally and internally to stay competitive and become
best-in-class. Beside expanding employees base Plethico is looking
forward to significant investment in terms of R&D and infrastructure
development at global marketplaces having immense potential. In the
era of fierce competition, when performance are continuously reviewed
and analyzed for gaps in strategy implementation, it is important to
check whether the business strategies are really robust. At Plethico,
we validate business strategy in the initial stages enabling
organization to take corrective measure in time and deliver better
results. Changing environment and challenging customer needs make it
imperative to identify those markets where company''s capabilities can
yield a competitive advantage. The company is better determined to
disseminate varieties of its leading brands that have improved
significantly after obtaining UK MHRA approval, in the emerging markets
worldwide. I personally feel that demand and availability of drugs in
non-urban areas will go up considerably in near future. Increasing
educated patient population will pose huge demand for improved
healthcare services, and a more focused approach to personalized
healthcare. Keeping focus intact, Plethico is foreseeing underlying
opportunities and confident about sterling performance in 2011. As a
value-oriented organization, we promise our shareholders to give better
returns through robust performance enhancing intrinsic value of shares.
I also express my sincere gratitude to all our stockholders who have
reposed trust in us and extended their constraint support. I am also
grateful to the Board of Directors for their steady support and
guidance.
Your''s truly
Shashikant Patel
Chairman & Managing Director
