COMPANY PERFORMANCE:

 

Over the years the Company has achieved steady and healthy turnover and profitability through continuous improvement in the standards, processes and performance, with a vision of maximizing efficiencies and attaining total quality management (TQM), thereby quietly raising the benchmarks in all aspects.

The Company has carved a niche for itself in terms of prices, quality, commitment and performance over the past 15 glorious years.

 

Logistics is another business area that the Company has logged onto, with the setting up of a vessel chartering desk. However, the core competencies remain commodities. The dealings in these items provide great value addition and largely contribute to the financial health of the Company.

 

Apart from Agro-Commodities, exports of Iron Ore and Equipment have contributed significantly to the Company’s revenues.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS:

 

With global marketing continuously offering innumerable opportunities and challenges, the Company has evolved plans to continue to be in the forefront to achieve its goals of becoming a market leader. In the past years, the Company has added many new range of products to its basket. Today, the Company not only deals in agro-commodities, it is also engaged in the trading of precious stones, minerals and metals like coal and coke.

 

Over 92 % of the Company’s turnover for the year constitutes exports. As such, no geographical segment is either recognized or defined.

PROFILE:

 

The beginnings of the export house were laid down in a journey that two young entrepreneurs took from Kanpur in Central India to Moscow in Russia with an export consignment of tea leaves in 1984. This started a story of steady growth and expansion, both in terms of commodities and markets. In 1995, Metachem metamorphosed into Frost International Limited, a professionally managed company with the three promoters as directors. They continue to guide the functioning of the company to this day. As the business ideas expanded, so did the initial vision and mission of the company.


Their business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of theirselves, to break their own records, to outstrip their yesterday by their today


They are an emerging business house striving to break global barriers in trading in diverse commodities. They work with business partners in many countries. They have placed their complete trust in them.

 

Their dedicated and knowledgeable  professionals constantly monitor the markets to identify and source goods so that they are able to deliver the best goods at reasonable prices


Once the markets are identified and analysed the execution team takes over.  Their entire team is divided into departments which facilitate the commercial aspect of work which includes finance and accounts and banking procedures. The documentation department works in tandem with these departments.


The professionals in these departments in turn convert the project into field work which includes handling at domestic and international ports. Every commodity reaches its destination in time and with precision via these critical channels.


In the commodities market, which is their play field, each trade is a long drawn process which requires smooth execution. The bulwark of their company is the Back Office which is responsible for carrying out the day to day functions in a manner to keep pace with their verticals or trade lines. It is classified broadly into seven departments. Each of these departments is headed by experienced professionals. Without the full support of even one of these, their verticals or trade lines would become handicapped

 

Accounting and Finance

 

Proper accounting is critical for voluminous transactions in their company. This helps in consolidating the entire transactional data in any given time frame to ascertain the state of affairs of the company. This finally reveals the company’s financial position, its strengths and its weaknesses in the areas of internal checks and controls, which are worked upon immediately.

Banking

 

The back bone of the Back Office is their Banking Department. It has a huge role to play as they do extensive volumes of business. The entire logistics is managed through a very strong multiple banking arrangement with nationalized and scheduled banks, who have carefully screened their financials to allocate both, fund and non fund based limits of about USD 125 Million.

 

Documentation

 

Their in-house team of professionals, rich with experience in trade documentation, liaise efficiently with one and all departments to ensure a systematic modus operandi with the minimum of legal aberrations. Statutory and global norms are adhered to maintain uniformity.

 

Forex Management

 

A dedicated foreign exchange desk comprising of experienced professionals and their understudies is responsible for the constant monitoring of the volatile foreign exchange market. This desk aims at covering currency risks for import payments and export realisations, all towards the maximisation of the company’s wealth.

 

TEAM:

 

Mr. Uday Desai, the present Chairman and Managing Director of Frost International Limited, is the prime business developer for the company. With his dynamic presence, wide portfolio of marketing and wide business travels across the globe, he is the main interface of this global mercantile export house. A quick thinker and decision maker, with keen business acumen, he has contributed the company’s growth in a big way. Aggressive yet adaptable, his management mantra is Work is Worship.

 

Mr. Sunil Verma, a close friend of Uday Desai from sophomore days. He is a partner and an integral part of Frost International Limited. As a capable administrator, he handles the back office.  His capacity to keep operations smooth, has kept in tact the inner cohesive strength of the company. An excellent Human Resources Manager, he has a proven track record of handling the team as a whole, even while under pressure.

 

Mr. A.K. Wadhera handles the International Marketing Division based at New Delhi. Being a college friend, he joined at a time when the two partners found it difficult to manage the growing business. His legal acumen and knowledge, has been of great value to the company and the global clients of the company have been handled by him in an extremely efficient manner.

 

The second generation of these entrepreneurs has joined the company to expand its vision further. They are geared to make a paradigm shift by using technology to further the business.  They share the goal of making Frost International Limited a premier trading house in the near future with the promoters. With their contribution also comes the social responsibility of the company. 

 

All together they are supported by a bulwark of professionals across all offices in India and Singapore
