However, with stiff competition not only from the service provider themselves but also from various other e-commerce platform, very low margins, long credit days are some of the constraints with which your company was operating, due to which your company was constrained to shut down the operation.

As the overall business in this sector had considerably declined, your companys management started exploring new areas / avenues to generate revenues for long terms. With this intent in mind, your company has ventured in the field of trading in Mobile Phones in the domestic as well as in the International market.

There was no revenue generated during the year under review from Telecommunication segment due to impact of pandemic COVID-19.

The Company is also exploring other avenues of increasing its market share consequently increasing the stakeholders value.

Though the IT Solutions & Products segment has been underperforming, which is again mainly due to tough competition, low margins and long credit period yet your company is taking stern steps to increase its market share in IT Solution & Products segment and is optimistic of a steady growth in this sector in the coming years.

The decline in the business of the Company is continuing, which is mainly due to stiff competition both from the organized sector as well as unorganized sector, low margins, long credit periods, purchase of stock in cash and sale on credit; number of mobile applications for making long distance calls including video calls, various e-commerce sites which are providing similar / same services with lucrative schemes; etc. Though all the segments in which your company is operating are under performing, however, the company is exploring to venture into newer areas within the above segments to increase its revenues and consequently increase in the stakeholders value.
