2. Dear Friends & Colleagues,
It is my privilege to write this message to all of you. I am
a person who always likes the āpersonal contactā with
our colleagues, but, while I have not had the chance to
meet most of you in person yet, I already feel that
Dusters is a part and parcel of the SIS family, and SIS is
part of the Dusters family! It is very important in any
merger of companies that the cultural fabrics remain
intact, and gets strengthened day by day. I am happy to
hear and see that the SIS-Dusters merger is on the right
track of cultural integration. The values of SIS and
Dusters are very similar ā customer is king and hence
customer service is paramount, and this can only be
done by employees who are accountable, professionals,
and work in team spirit with integrity. In short, we
Welcome Communication
Best wishes for Diwali

should focus on getting the right employees, giving
them the right support, value systems and
environment, and they will take care of the customers. I
always say that you take care of your employees well,
they will take care of your business well. I am very
conļ¬dent that the combined strength of Dusters and
SMC in the facility management space, will make us a
potential market leader, and more importantly a
market differentiator. I wish each one of you the very
best for future, and will look forward to hearing the
various milestones our Facility Management business
achieves in future!

Business Development Accomplishments
The Sales Team continued its client acquisition mode in
the 2nd Quarter too, achieving INR 2.03 Crores against
the Q2Goal of INR 1.80 Crores, setting the pace for the
current Financial Year.
The Sales team was bolstered by the inclusion of
Suneer Prakash , AVP ā Strategic Accounts , who will
focus on winning new Key and Strategic Accounts , and
also infused a fresh look into the West , with the
inclusion of J.Krishnakumar, AVP ā Business
Development for West, Zoheb Kazi, Sr Manager for
Pune and Rest of Maharashtra. We do believe that
their inclusion will only accelerate the growth of our
business in the 2nd half of the year.
We enhanced our presence in the East by consolidating
our presence in the Healthcare and Hospitality sector
by acquiring prestigious new accounts such as JW
Marriott Kolkata, Novotel Kolkata and Westin @
Kolkata , besides expanding our relationship with
Medica by commencing our services @ Medica Gamma
and Medica Ohio @ Kolkata
We were also successful in bidding in the RFP for
Reliance Jio and winning the contract for IFM services
for the whole of Karnataka and Kerala, an approximate
monthly billing of around INR 50 lakhs per month
The Sales team also had their Quarterly Sales meet @
Mumbai on 9th September 2016, wherein they were
energized by the presence of Mr Jasmer Puri , our Joint
Managing Director, and a Sales workshop conducted by
Mr Sai Prasanna. The workshop focused on enhancing
the skill sets and capabilities of the Sales team , and also
on Client Engagement and building up the Sales pipeline.
The meet also had some interesting role plays and
business situations where the team was involved in
simulating actual business scenarios.
The focus for the Sales team in Q3 will be new client
acquisitions and building up a strong business funnel to
