Voice & Data awards One97 Emerging company of the year!

While climbing the stage at V&D Awards night in New Delhi yesterday, I could not stop the feeling I use to have in school award functions. A feeling that all of us have worked hard and someone is acknowledging that.

We have got couple of more awards but our stage of business; I would give this one as best acknowledgment of all of us. I am told that the Jury had liked our approach to market and work / business we have delivered. They expect us to emerge out as one of key companies in the space.
And we love that :- )

As always I have said, any company is worth the company it keeps, minds it has. This is truly an award to great team we have : a team that is aggressive, agile and of strong minds.

I will love to dedicate this to our mission which marks as Emerging Company in Telecom Application space : To become $100 M telecom applications and Services business in next 2 years. Markets will challenge us and wanna-be opportunist will make it tough but our purpose and principle will guide us.
