My Target Is To Have 10,000 Towers
The rise and rise of SuyogTelematics continues un-abated on the BSE's SME platform. The Mumbai-headquartered telecom tower company's stock was listed on the bourse at Rs 25 in January 2014 and is currently ruling at a whopping Rs 470 apiece. Suyog's winning streak on the stock exchange is backed by the company's strong performance over the past few years. The company's revenue (Rs 43.75 crore) has doubled year on year in the past two years, while its net profit (Rs 12.06 crore) has risen by three-fold and four-fold in FY15 and FY16 respectively. Shivshankar Lature, the managing director of Suyog Telematics, is naturally impressed with his company's growth. Unwilling to remain complacent, the first-generation entrepreneur has set an ambitious target for Suyog's future growth. In an interview with Amit Brahmabhatt, Mr Lature, who recently got Suyog to acquire New Delhi-based Nisa Industrial Services, talks about the industry, his company's growth strategies and targets.
