Our core competency is our employee-centric approach to finding solutions. We have never sacked an employee in the past 30 years of our existence. We let our agents and franchisees define our growth parameters and our profit matrix is mostly reliant on the grassroots-level feedback of our employees, agents, and our franchisees.
Every time there has been a downward spiral in the world economy we have adapted and moved ahead. Our employee-centric approach has helped us tide over multiple crises including the great sub-prime crisis of 2007.
We did not lay off a single employee either then or during the pandemic and the employees helped us grow to unprecedented heights by reposing our faith on them and vice- versa.
Some of our business verticals did suffer drastically which included information technology as our products and solutions were mostly tailor made for the hospitality sector. But since we were in the healthcare sector we could do a lot of business in healthcare products and services.
We have moved comprehensively into startup funding new technologies in the fields of semiconductor fabrication and design, stem cells, healthcare products and solutions, and having the first-mover advantage has helped us stabilize ourselves in the respective field.
A lot of exciting developments are taking place in semiconductor fabrication and design and the blockchain industry. We are ensuring that all of our products and solutions are blockchain-ready.
