Our Shared Services Platform too is delivering well with overall increased efficiencies and productivity gains becoming visible.

We had begun preparations for the landmark GST roll out a year ago, and hence our transition was relatively smooth. While we do anticipate some short term challenges, given the magnitude of the changes it aims to bring about- we are positive that in the long term the GST environment will lead to a more organised market place.”
