Chairman's Speech

Dear Shareholder, Greetings from Kings Infra!

I extend to you all a hearty welcome to the 34th Annual General Body Meeting of our Company. On this occasion, let me begin by first remembering Dr J Alexander, Independent Director on our Board, who left us for his heavenly abode in January 2022. I acknowledge his contributions in guiding our Board meetings with his vast experience and insightful wisdom. Our Company is well founded on the principles of our founder, Late Sri Baby John, who believed in building a socially-responsible business and taught us to live our dreams with Courage, Conviction and Commitment. As we are emerging from the pandemic disruptions, the strength of any successful organisation is to adapt to the new normal, face the new challenges and emerge with innovative capabilities to bring in transformational changes in our planning our road map ahead As you are all aware, our Company pioneered the Blue Revolution in the country as early as 1987 by establishing the first semi-intensive integrated aquaculture project at Tuticorin. Keeping up the pioneering spirit, our Company has developed several innovative proprietary technologies in the field of sustainable aquaculture.

As a result of our pursuit for perfection, I am happy to announce that our company has created a world record by harvesting the biggest sized L Vannamei Shrimps in pond based Aquaculture in Jan 2022.

We will continue to strive hard to maintain the Technology Leadership with a view to transform Indian Aquaculture.

Our strategy will be to grow the entire value chain in our aquaculture operations.

The company is also increasing its processing capacities and expanding its footprint in the global markets.

A well thought out strategy is in place for farm to fork integration and establishing in the domestic food retail business by introducing KINGFRESH and KING BENTO brands.

With a view to futureproof the aquaculture industry, we are setting up The "Baby John Centre of Excellence" with a vision to train 10000 aqua-entrepreneurs that will support India to be the world leader in aquaculture by the year 2030.

We are also working with International technology leaders, research institutions and universities to bring in cutting edge technologies in food production systems.

We have successfully completed proof of concepts 1 and 2 with NEC corporation Japan to develop Precision aquaculture using AI, IOT, Machine learning and automation.

We are continuing our work with Dr J. Jayalitha Fisheries university for developing Open Pond Recirculatory system for Penaeid species.

We also have entered into a technology licence agreement with CIFT for producing Ready to Cook and Ready to serve seafood as well as Chitin and other extractions from Shrimp shells and heads which are being wasted now.

In our roadmap ahead, the Company has created two new subsidiaries, namely Kings SISTA360 Solutions Private Limited and Kings Maritech Eco Park Limited.

SISTA360 is a digital platform to introduce sustainable technologies, practices and operating procedures to support Indian aquaculture.

Kings Maritech Eco Park is a first ever eco-friendly mariculture tech park for Indoor precision aquaculture bringing all facilities in one campus. These two new initiatives will develop sustainable aquaculture as the way forward for supporting the national policy of doubling the farmers' income.

The Company realises the urgent need for food production systems to be more sustainable, reduce carbon footprint, combat climate change, enhance prosperity and well being for all. With these in view, we have introduced the ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Strategy and have commenced on measurable, achievable and time bound plans closely aligned to the Sustainable Development Goals 2030..

Our entire business is repurposed to be a part of a Circular,Blue, Bio-economy which will provide healthy proteins to our growing population, increase rural incomes, women employment, entrepreneurship, multiply stakeholder benefits and above all, leave behind a better planet for our future generations.

I thank every one of the team members who have been a part in this phase of our growth. I thank my respected colleagues on the Board for their cooperation, encouragement and valuable guidance in our journey so far. I thank all our valuable shareholders for the trust you have reposed in us.

We wish you and your families a safe, healthy and prosperous period ahead.
