virtual events - both live & on-demand, ideally through an annual
engagement contract with VirtualSoft.
A proprietary system called v Code guarantees clarity and seamless
delivery of audio, video and multimedia files across both narrowband
and broadband networks.
Virtual Soft has developed a world-class Enterprise Communication
Platform called vReach that utilizes existing corporate computing and
communications infrastructure to make real-time business meeting and
events more cost-effective and convenient by reducing travel and
extending reach to globally dispersed customers, partners, and
co-workers over low and high bandwidth connections through a simple
browser interface.
VirtualSoft's vReach division also offers Rich Media content creation
and migration services using proprietary technology and business
methods. It creates near video on-demand content synchronized with
Power point slides and other interactive mechanisms for leading
conference organizers like CII, FICCI, The Times of India Group, The
Federation of Asian Advertising Associations, India Today; and for
leading enterprises such as SAP, IBM, The World Bank and the Tata
Group.
It has created over 10,000 hours of such content for over 500 different
conferences and training events. This content is available in CD/DVD
form as well as on knowledge on-demand servers accessible over the
intranet and/or internet.
vReach has also created a Demand Generation Practice where it uses its
own and third party platforms, in-house multi-media content
development, social media - web and telemarketing to create customized
channel training & development, sales enablement and customer
engagement programs mainly for Business to Business brands, in the
Technology space.
In the year under Review, we continued making progress on both the
Digital Demand Generation and lelecom initiatives that were launched in
the past few years
In Demand Generation, we continued to strengthen the strategic
partnership for India and APAC with 6Connex Inc. (www.6Connex.com) - a
California based global leader in Virtual Experience & Virtual
Destination based business solutions. Supplementing 6Connex's latest
Version 7 Technology/ Platform with our own domain competence,
technology, processes and goto market ecosystem, Virtual Soft is poised
launched a range of next generation Virtual Experience based events for
demand generation, customer engagement, collaboration, learning and
knowledge management. This will build on the work done in the past few
years for brands like CNBC/ Web 18, Cisco, Oracle, and Intel - both at
the India & APAC level.
The Telecom Division launched global roaming solutions and services
under the "Roam1" brand (www.roam1.com), in FY 2010-11. The global
roaming business portolio that was hived off into a subsidiary Roam 1
Telecom Ltd during FY 13-14, continued to make significant progress in
terms of innovative and unique product introductions and plans as well
gaining market share and acceptance - both from end -customers and
channel partners.
Our key offerings in Roam 1 Telecom Ltd, are based on Global or
Regional (e.g Europe) Single Sim Product or Platform , that contains
multiple IMSI Profiles or local country specific numbers - anywhere
from 3 to 12 in ONE SIM that provides low cost Voice and data services
when the subscriber travels overseas. This SIM provides Free Incoming
in over 60 countries and provides low cost Call Back to India. This is
offered through both prepaid and post-paid plans. The billing is in
real time and is visible instantly on the web which ensures that there
is no room for over billing. The customer gets to retain the card and
can publish the number as his permanent International Number on his
business card and stationary etc. This way every time the customer goes
abroad, he adds talk time on his card which makes repeat business very
easy for us. The Global Single SIM Product is supported by a wide array
of country and continent specific products and plans for voice and
data.
VirtualSoft thus develops, integrates, optimises and deploys the
technologies of the day to provide the infrastructure, application
platforms, SIM cards and Apps needed for rich and enhanced
communications & international roaming services for businesses and
consumers - as well as for creating collaborative virtual business
solutions for sales, customer engagement, training and knowledge
management.
In the year under Review, with an intent to synergise the two divisions
at a corporate level, the C2E3 Initiative was strengthened. C2E3 stands
for Connect Communicate Engage Experientially and Cost - Effectively
and provides a bridge for the Telecom & Roam 1 Division to collaborate
with the Virtual Events and Demand Gen Division in technology & product
development, marketing and large partner and account development. This
will create unique cross developed product offerings in the enhanced
communications and collaboration space - including web and video
conferencing, cloud telephony, Rich Communication Services (RCS) based
platforms, connected device life-cycle management solutions and will
facilitate more sales yield from our goto market partners and large
enterprise accounts.
With the foundation in Enterprise Broadband solutions, Telecom and
Roaming Solutions and now the C2E2 Initiative - all of which are
scaling up well, the Company now expects significant growth in both
revenues and profitability in the years to come.

1. BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY
VIRTUAL SOFT- LEVERAGING
MOBILE ROAMING, TELECOM, VIRTUAL EVENT & DEMAND GEN TECHNOLOGIES TO
PROVIDE UNIQUE & EXCEPTIONAL "CONNECT ,COMMUNICATE & ENGAGE,
EXPERIENTIALLY (C2E2)" PRODUCTS, PLATFORMS , PROGRAMS AND SOLUTIONS
TO LARGE BUSINESS CUSTOMERS AND CONSUMERS
Video Rich Broadband & 3G / 4G mobile networks are revolutionizing the
way we do business and run our lives. Virtual Soft and its v Reach
division offer outstanding digital broadband solutions. They use
technology developed in house and by our best-of -breed global partners
to the advantage of large enterprises, associations and media companies
as well as their customers and consumers. Broadband network &
application solutions offer you a convergence of voice, data and video
that can be used for your business - by creating and leveraging
business function specific virtual events - both live & on-demand,
ideally through an annual engagement contract with VirtualSoft.
Virtual Soft transforms conventional business, learning, entertainment
and media enterprises into rich media digital corporations. It uses the
technologies of the day to set up the infrastructure & application
platforms needed for streaming interactive rich media content - as well
as creating and managing virtual events - over the internet, intranet
or extranet.
A proprietary system called v Code guarantees clarity and seamless
delivery of audio, video and multimedia files across both narrowband
and broadband networks.
Virtual Soft has developed a world-class Enterprise Communication
Platform called vReach that utilizes existing corporate computing
infrastructure to make real- time business meeting and events more
cost-effective and convenient by reducing travel and extending reach to
globally dispersed customers, partners, and co-workers over low and
high bandwidth connections through a simple browser interface.
VirtualSoft''s vReach division also offers Rich Media content creation
and migration services using proprietary technology and business
methods. It creates near video on-demand content synchronized with
Power point slides and other interactive mechanisms for leading
conference organizers like CII, FICCI, The Times of India Group, The
Federation of Asian Advertising Associations, India Today; and for
leading enterprises such as SAP, IBM, The World Bank and the Tata
Group.
It has created over 10,000 hours of such content for over 500 different
conferences and training events. This content is available in CD/DVD
form as well as on knowledge on-demand servers accessible over the
intranet and/or internet.
In the year under Review, we continued making progress on both the
Digital Demand Generation and Telecom initiatives that were launched in
the previous year.
In Demand Generation, we continued to strengthen the strategic
partnership for India and APAC with 6Connex Inc. (www.6Connex.com) - a
California based global leader in Virtual Experience based business
solutions. Supplementing their technology with our own domain
competence, processes and goto market ecosystem, Virtual Soft launched
a range of next generation Virtual Experience based events for demand
generation, customer engagement, collaboration, learning and knowledge
management for brands like CNBC/ Web 18, Cisco, Oracle, and Intel -
both at the India & APAC level.
Further, for Intel India we received a major demand generation
assignment for their Small Medium Business (SMB) target audience in the
Delhi/ NCR and Punjab territories. This was subsequently extended to
Western and Southern India States.
The Telecom Division that launched global roaming solutions and
services under the "Roaml" brand (www. roam1.com), continued to
make significant progress in terms of innovative and and unique product
introductions and plans as well gaining market share and acceptance -
both from end -customers and channel partners.
Our flagship product here is the Global Single Sim Product, that
contains 3 Telephone Numbers or Profiles (UK -Italy- USA) that provides
low cost telephony in international roaming. This SIM provides Free
Incoming in over 90 countries and provides low cost Call Back to India.
This is offered through both a prepaid and post- paid plans, with
real-time billing that allows the Indian Customer to control his
international telephony expenses.
The billing is in real time and is visible instantly on the net which
ensures that there is no room for over billing. The customer gets to
retain the card and can publish the number as his permanent
International Number on his business card and stationary etc. This way
every time the customer goes abroad, he adds talk time on his card
which makes repeat business very easy for us. The Global Single SIM
Product is supported by a wide array of country and continent specific
products and plans for voice, data and Blackberry Messaging.
In the year under Review, with an intent to synergise the two divisions
at a corporate level, the C2E2 Initiative was conceived. C2E2 stands
for Connect Communicate Engage Experientially and provides a bridge for
the Telecom & Roam 1 Division to collaborate with the Virtual Events
and Demand Gen Division in technology & product development, marketing
and large partner and account development. This will lead to unique
cross developed product offerings (e.g mobile sales, mobile learning
and mobile marketing & couponing tools and platforms), cost
rationalization as well as more sales yield from our goto market
partners and large enterprise accounts.
With the foundation in Enterprise Broadband solutions, Telecom and
Roaming Solutions and now the C2E2 Initiative - all of which are
scaling up well, the Company now expects significant growth in both
revenues and profitability in the current year and the years to come

It has created over 8000 hours of such content for over 400 different
conferences and training events. This content is available in CD/DVD
form as well as on knowledge on-demand servers accessible over the
intranet and/or internet.
In the year under Review, three new initiatives were
successfully launched:
First, based on inhouse R&D, Virtual-Soft suucessfully developed and
deployed a B2B live Text Chat Platform (Multi - Panelist & Multiple
Levels of Moderation) with a video featurepp, for Intel India. 7
Virtual Events were then created and launched for Intel successfully
during the year. Over 3,000 of the Target Audience registered and over
1500 attended.
Second, based on a strategic partnership for India and APAC with
6Connex Inc
(www.6Connex.com)- a California based global leader in Virtual
Experience based business solutions & our own domain competence,
processes and goto market ecosystem, Virtual Soft launched a range of
next generation Virtual Experience based events for demand generation,
customer engagement, collaboration, learning and knowledge management
for brands like CNBC/ Web 18, Cisco, Oracle and Intel - both at the
India & APAC level.
Third based on technology & market development work done late in the
year under Review, in April 2010, Virtual Soft created a new Telecom
division to focus on Mobile Roaming Solutions for the global traveller
under the brand name "Roaml" (www.roam1.com)
Currently the options for an International Traveler for telephony
during his overseas travel is either to use the International Roaming
facility on his existing SIM or take a country specific SIM Card that
our competitors provide. We have, along with a UK based company
developed a unique solution which allows a consumer to use a single UK
based SIM which provides low cost telephony in international roaming.
This SIM provides Free Incoming in over 100 countries and provides low
cost Call Back to India. Over the past few months we have piloted this
SIM and have now over 2500 customers who regularly use this product.
The Card is a prepaid card, which again makes it very attractive for an
Indian Customer as it allows him to control his international telephony
expenses. The billing is in real time and is visible instantly on the
net which ensures that there is no room for over billing. The customer
gets to retain the card and can publish the number as his permanent
International Number. This way every time the customer goes abroad, he
adds talk time on his card which makes repeat business very easy for
us.
With the foundation in Enterprise Broadband solutions and the three new
initiatives launched in the year under Review, the Company now expects
significant growth in both revenues and profitability in the current
year and the years to come.
