With limited infrastructure and financial resources and relatively inexperienced staff, timely delivery of quality product or service requires not only financial resources and working capital but also technology, infrastructure and support of a dedicated work force who are willing to work long hours.

how did you start and your present situation in your business?
Having made the decision to commence the printing business with a saving of Rs.192,000/- over a period of nearly 4 years I purchased a small A3 size printing machine having obtained a loan of Rs. 150,000/- which was raised by my father. On 15th August 1999, I began my business life by purchasing the said machine for Rs. 300,000/. This is the dawn of a new era but beginning of a long struggle. With absolute determination I faced the toughest times of my life believing in the Prophetical saying “tough times never last, but tough people do”. Today we run an up to date printing facility maintaining competitive rates, highest quality standards with state of the art technology which is evidenced by my company M/s.
