Dear Stakeholders,
it gives me immense pleasure to address you all at the beginning of the
new financial year. It is our privilege to share with you our maiden annual report
following the successful initial public offering (IPO) and subsequent listing of Krystal
Integrated Services on the stock exchanges. We are grateful to our investors and
shareholders for placing their invaluable faith in our vision and capabilities.
We are at a transformation phase in our journey. Since our inception in
the year 2000, we have evolved from providing security services as single service offering
for the rapidly developing real estate market in Mumbai, to becoming a full-spectrum
provider of integrated facility management services across India. This expansion has been
supported by significant macro-trends like privatisation of airports and development of
commercial and retail hubs. The emergence of sprawling geographically dispersed
supermarket, Among others. Our company has adeptly navigated a multifaceted
diversification strategy, encompassing an array of verticals such as housekeeping, MEP
services, waste management amongst others. This judicious expansion has yielded a
remarkable operational crescendo, culminating in a formidable presence across 30 branches
and 2,487 locations nationwide. Consequently, our market stature has been significantly
augmented, and our service repertoire substantially enriched.
The relentless dedication of our 41,061 plus onsite team members, who
represents the backbone of Krystal, has empowered us to achieve nearly 100% customer
retention last year. Their commitment has been instrumental in enabling us to manage
large-scale and multi-locational projects efficiently, such as the comprehensive
management of district hospitals across Tamil Nadu.
This past year was particularly momentous due to our successful IPO,
which was oversubscribed by 13 times, allowing us to raise Rs. 300.125 crores. This
significant achievement has provided us with the capital to enhance our operational
capabilities and set the stage for sustained growth. The IPO proceeds are being
judiciously utilized towards funding working capital requirements, capital expenditure and
other corporate purposes, reflecting our strategic intent to strengthen our market
presence and service delivery.
Our journey from a niche service provider to a leader in integrated
services has been driven by a commitment to excellence and adaptability. Today, we proudly
cater to a broad spectrum of industries including pharmaceuticals, public administration,
and banking, with tailored solutions that address the unique needs of each client and
sector. Our ability to provide both standalone and bundled services has positioned us as a
versatile and reliable partner in the industry.
:fcI am delighted to recognize Krystal's steadfast commitment to giving
back to the community through their CSR initiatives, which have made a significant
difference in the lives of children, women, and students.
I am deeply grateful for your continued trust and support, which have
been pivotal to our success. We are optimistic about the ongoing fiscal year and remain
committed to delivering sustainable value to all our stakeholders.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support. I look forward to
continuing our journey together, seizing new opportunities, and achieving greater heights
in the years to come.
Thanks and regards,
Mrs. Neeta Lad
