The expenses of the company were reduced to Rs. 422.000 Millions as compared to Rs. 425.000 Millions for the previous financial year.

 

The company posted a profit before tax of Rs. 165 Millions for the financial year, as compared to 153.000 Millions in the previous financial year.

 

The company is focused on active new business chase and increasing its roster of clients to fill up category gaps. While the current financial year 2013-14 continues to face pressures of a weakening economy, over a period of time they are confident of increasing their market share and improve their ranking in the industry to become a top ten advertising company in India.
