Comments :

Subject is a joint venture between U.S. based “Global Health Service Leader, Cigna Corporation and Indian Conglomerate TTK Group”.

 

Even though, the company was incorporated as on March 12, 2012, it has officially commenced its commercial operations on February 24, 2014.

 

Management remains non-cooperative.

 

It is an established company possessing a decent capital base and comfortable capital structure characterized by zero debt. Moreover, management has reported a miniscule income from it’s a month of operations during FY14.

 

However, trade relations are improving. Business is active. Payment terms are reported as slow but correct.

 

In view of strong and experienced percentage, the company can be considered for business dealings with caution and we recommend customary monitoring of its commercial operations.
