For the financial year ended December 31, the company posted revenue of Rs 150 crore and a net profit of Rs 17.50 crore.
“The nine-month period in 2012 has been tough. While we managed to stay operationally cash positive and build a good pipeline for its products and solutions, capital expenditure is witnessing a slowdown, resulting in slower uptake for company’s new products and applications,” CEO and Managing Director G.V. Kumar said. “We are planning to focus on small carrier infrastructure and retail mobile commerce segments, while maintaining a close watch on cash flows and costs,” he said.
