Growth

Starting with a handful of people, Rolta has grown to become a dominant force in its markets and today has over 4,000 professionals globally, owns more than 10 million sq. ft. of facilities (ready and/or under development) worldwide and has a market cap of over US $ 1.1 Billion.

Rolta has enjoyed a sustained growth since its inception due to its prudent selection of key business areas. Beginning from a data center in 1982, to pioneering and leading India's CAD/CAM/GIS revolution, to being a major international GIS & Engineering services provider, Rolta has now positioned itself as a strong player in the Infrastructure, Defense, Homeland Security and Enterprise Information & Communications Technology (ICT) segments.

Rolta's long-term growth comes from the fact that its businesses are not me-too in character. Rolta intelligently uses the knowledge acquired in one business for the creation of new synergistic businesses. Over the last 25 years, Rolta has judiciously invested in people, technology and infrastructure nationally and internationally to exploit and serve emerging opportunities worldwide.

As customer requirements have evolved, the character of Rolta's business has also transformed from pure technology, to design and engineering, to a projects driven model that encompasses a customer's comprehensive needs. Today, Rolta has executed multi-million dollar projects in more than 35 countries.

Rolta's widespread operations have firm roots in India and it draws its strengths from a dominating presence in the vast home market. This empowers it to sharpen and enhance its offerings for the international markets and also judiciously optimise resources across operations.

Rolta has consistently posted profits and paid dividends every year since its IPO in 1990. For the year ended 30th June 2007, Rolta posted a consolidated net profit of Rs. 1,726.4 million (US $ 42.3 million), a growth of 35.6% over last year and consolidated income of Rs. 7,216.6 million (US $ 177.1 Million) signifying a growth of 32.8% over last year.

Unlike most IT firms, Rolta derives over 60% of its revenues from the domestic market. This enables Rolta to participate in India's growth story and mitigate currency risks. More importantly, Rolta offers high-end services in Geospatial Information Systems (GIS), and Engineering Design to key players in the infrastructure, power, oil & gas and defence sectors. These sectors are poised for high capacity additions in the coming years.

To meet its aggressive growth plans, Rolta is expanding its Mumbai facilities, and establishing development and delivery centers in the Eastern, Northern and Southern parts of India, apart from growing the delivery centers in the US & UK.

We plan to continue our growth momentum by adopting a strategy that is both organic and inorganic. Consistent growth has enabled Rolta in meeting stakeholders' expectations, a fact which is reinforced by Rolta's ranking amongst the top-10 Wealth Creators in the mid-cap segment, by the Hindustan Times.
