Hence, we are continuously endeavoring to diversify our sales to newer geographies in Australia, UK, Germany, Canada, Mexico, Chile and South Africa.

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

India''s apparel exports are rising, partially because the country is able to penetrate into the markets of neighboring China and Bangladesh.

The estimates for 2014-15 are USD 20 billion.

BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

Though struggling garment export sector witnessed dampening exports during most of 2011 due to sluggish EU and US market, yet with some late recovery, the apparel exports have registered some growth during 2011-12 with exports closing to USD 13.50 billion against USD 11 billion last year. Rupee appreciation in recent time is also a concern.

Indian exporters have reached other parts of the globe as well, though major market remains EU and US. Across the globe, the demand for garments has witnessed some increase.

Your company has adopted market diversification strategy based on the changing dynamics of growth in the world economy as it is necessary to ensure sustained growth of exports. The demand in the traditional markets of the developed western world, North America and Europe, is projected to be relatively sluggish due to slowing output expansion in these economies. Against this, emerging economies are expected to grow at about 6.5%.

The core of our market strategy therefore is:

(a) Retain presence and market share in our "existing developed country markets";

(b) Move up the value chain in providing products in these developed country markets; and

(c) Open up new vistas, both in terms of markets and new products in the new markets.

We are focusing on markets in Asia (including ASEAN), Africa and Latin America. We must establish new beachheads and strengthen our presence in newly opened up markets. To establish greater credibility and acceptance of our critical export products and sectors in foreign markets, we would strengthen efforts to build up a brand image for important Indian exports, and promote a thrust for quality upgradation. Domestic standards for export related products would be raised, Differentiated strategic initiatives globally have been formulated on the basis of the critical assessment of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges being faced.

The company has continued focus on cost competitiveness and open new horizons towards Sourcing and Product Development across the globe. The company has leveraged its experience and expertise in cost competitiveness in channelising the business through its manufacturing or outsourcing activities based on buyers requirements.

Consolidated turnover of the company is Rs.2798.49 Crores, up by more than 24% in financial year 2011-12. The consolidated profit of the company is Rs.38.54 Crores compared to profit of Rs.22.87 Crores for last year. With no expected increase in fixed overheads, your company expects that the new business initiatives will start yielding increase in sales and improved consolidated profit.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The company has been taking up and fulfilling its fundamental responsibility towards society. Little People Educational Society, set up by the group has been imparting employment oriented higher education and retail sector education through Indian Retail School (IRS). IRS has taken initiative to impart career oriented training in retail sector. ARPAN and SOHAM are helping underprivileged children, studying in 1st to 5th level financially and also supporting the school system.
