6. Corporate Review:
Overview: While the services business of the company, driven by
guest TV services and distribution of international channels continued to grow, the sales
of products declined. To boost sales of products the company has added some new product
lines (see discussion on divisions below).
A division-wise performance is given below:
i. Network Systems Division: Sales continued to decline. It has
taken some time to test and stabilize the IPTV system & software which is now ready
for commercial deployment with both hotels and IPTV operators. Some new products were
added, namely, optical accessories, android set top boxes and mini-
UPS for routers. All these products have good growth prospects. A
production unit for optical patch cords has also been commissioned. It is hoped this
division will arrest the decline in sales in the current year.
ii. Hospitality Sales Division: Revenue grew by 15% y-o-y. The
hotel industry is poised to grow rapidly mainly on account of an explosion in domestic
tourism. Many new properties by leading hotel and hospital chains have been announced.
Good growth is expected in the current year.
iii. Channel Marketing Division: Revenue grew by 27%. In addition
to distribution of foreign TV channels to linear platforms like DTH and cable, your
company has extended the distribution to IPTV and OTT platforms. These digital platforms
are fast replacing the linear platforms. Good growth is expected in the current year
iv. Online Sales: Competition and a small product base affected
sales this year. The company has added some new products. The current year will record
good growth.
