With this, we see large opportunities for us to grow our various diversified businesses in financial sector.

? Headed by the policy of liberalisation and forward-looking regulatory changes, moving the growth chart of the markets upwards will make available wider opportunities for providers of financial services.

Blessed with the above mentioned opportunities, simultaneously we perceive following threats for growth of the Company:

? Slow recovery of macro economy, domestically as well as globally, can delay the return of growth.

Inability of Government to push the major economic reforms and fiscal policy attributing the unnecessary delay in the growth of the Company.
