- Mr. Rathindra Das – Head Legal, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Route Mobile Limited:

Thank you, Chairman. Dear shareholders, good afternoon and welcome to the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting of Route Mobile Limited. I will now take you through the key aspects of this meeting, your participation in this meeting, Q&A session and voting facility available during this meeting. Members please note that this meeting is being held through audio visual means and the facility to join this meeting is available to the members on a first come first serve basis in accordance with the applicable MCA and SEBI circulars. The Company has enabled the Members to participate at the EGM through the video conferencing facility provided by NSDL. This EGM is being live webcast on our YouTube channel and Members who are not in the meeting room may watch live webcast on our YouTube channel as well. All members who have joined this meeting are by default placed on mute by the host to avoid any disturbances arising from the background noise and to ensure a smooth and seamless conduct of this EGM. Members may also kindly note that the proceeding of this EGM is being recorded. We have received three representations under section 113 of the Companies Act, 2013 covering in all Fifty Lakh, Forty-two Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty-three equity shares - representing 8.71% of the total paid up capital as on the cut-off date October 9th, 2021. In compliance with MCA and SEBI circulars, the notice of the EGM was sent only by email within the statutory period to all the members whose email addresses were registered with the Company/ the RTA.

Mr. Sandipkumar Gupta – Chairman, Route Mobile Limited:

  • Thank you, Rathindra. I am satisfied that all the efforts feasible, under the circumstances have indeed been made by the Company to enable the members to participate and vote on the items being considered at this meeting.

After that Mr. Rajdipkumar Gupta, our MD and Group CEO, will address the members briefly on items of business for consideration at this EGM. We will then move to the Question & Answer session. The objectives and the implications of the agenda items are set out in the explanatory statement annexed to the EGM notice and for the sake of brevity, I am not going to repeat them. In case members wish to seek any further clarification, they may raise at the Question & Answer session.

  • On behalf of the board of directors, I would like to thank you for taking the time and join us. In today’s EGM, the Company has placed for approval of the shareholders, two items, as recommended by the board of directors.

  • Now, with your consent, I will go ahead with this flow of the proceedings & the business to be transacted at this EGM.

  • Since the Notice of the EGM has already been circulated to all the members, I take this Notice convening this meeting as read.

  • In terms of the notice of the EGM, the following items of Special Business are to be considered at this meeting:

  • THE FIRST ITEM on the agenda is for the shareholders’ approval for raising funds through issuance of equity shares, ADRs/GDRs against Equity shares, NCDs, FCCBs, or any combination thereof up to ₹2,000 crores to such eligible investors including qualified institutional buyers, eligible foreign/ non-resident investors and/ or any other category of investors whether or not such investors are Members of the Company, by way of a qualified institutions placement (“QIP”) or by way of preferential allotment or ADR/ GDR/ FCCB issuances or through any other permissible mode. Your Board believes that the proposed fund raising will support the future growth of the Company by augmenting its long term cash resources, funding organic and inorganic growth of the Company, or making investments in companies and for growth of existing businesses or to enter into new businesses. The details of the resolution were provided in the explanatory statement, which was part of the EGM Notice.

  • THE SECOND ITEM proposed is for approval for increase in investment limits for foreign portfolio investors up to 100%. This resolution is enabling in nature keeping in mind the future requirements, to utilise the full permissible limits under applicable laws and with this increased limit, the company would have the flexibility to attract institutional investors to be part of the company’s growth journey from time to time.

  • Before I conclude, I would like to thank you for your continued support reposed for the Company. Thank you. I now request Mr. Rajdipkumar Gupta, Managing Director and Group CEO, to proceed with his brief and thereafter open the Question & answer session.

Mr. Rajdip Gupta - Managing Director & Group CEO, Route Mobile Limited:

  • Thank you, Chairman Sir. Good afternoon shareholders. A warm welcome to all members attending this EGM of Route Mobile. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy.

  • Dear Shareholders, Route Mobile is at an inflection point where it is poised for an aggressive growth & expansion strategy, in both organic and inorganic way, and this is why we believe a fund raising at this stage would provide us the necessary resources to fund those growth objectives. The proceeds of this fundraising may be utilized for augmenting long term cash resources, to fund the organic or inorganic growth opportunities in the area of its operations and adjacencies, including for making investments in companies whether a subsidiary, joint venture, associates or otherwise, growth of existing businesses or to enter into new businesses in line with the strategy of the Company including further for any other general purposes. We are therefore proposing to raise funds through issuance of equity shares or other Securities convertible into or exchangeable into Equity Shares or ADR/GDR or NCD, FCCB, by way of a qualified institutions placement (“QIP”) or by way of preferential allotment or through any other permissible mode for an amount not exceeding ₹2,000 Crores (Rupees Two Thousand Crores Only).

  • Also, we are seeking shareholders’ approval which is enabling in nature, in terms of the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019, to increase the investment limits by foreign portfolio investors in the Company from earlier 49% to 100% of paid up equity share capital of the Company. This would ensure more space for FPIs to invest in the Company.

  • Before we commence the Q&A session, I request Rathindra, Company Secretary, to share the main guidelines for the Q&A session.

  • Mr. Rathindra Das – Head Legal, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Route Mobile Limited:

The Q&A session will be anchored by the moderator from NSDL and he will call upon the pre-registered speakers to come one by one.

  • Mr. Rajdip Gupta - Managing Director & Group CEO, Route Mobile Limited:

  • I will answer, let me start. Hello.

  • Mr. Rathindra Das – Head Legal, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, Route Mobile Limited:

  • If you want, you can go ahead and answer the question.

Mr. Rajdip Gupta - Managing Director & Group CEO, Route Mobile:

  • Yeah, sure. So, Ramesh ji, first of all, season’s greetings and I think I would love to answer this question in English because for the larger audience and I think the reason we are raising fund is definitely we are in a path of growth and we believe that CpaaS industry is growing at a very fast pace and we have to be there in the market and we want to make sure that we become a global leader in this space and we are definitely leader in certain markets as of today and I think the reason behind this fund raise is to get into other markets inorganic way plus organic way and we would love to explore ourselves in Africa, we would love to explore ourselves in Latin America and some other markets where we believe that the potential of CpaaS is very high including US as well and that is the reason why we are planning to raise this fund. In terms of growth if you see, from last so many years, like if you see Route Mobile trajectory of growth, last 16-17 years, it has shown growth on the year-on-year basis. We have shown a growth year on year basis. It is not something that has happened overnight. If you see our growth story also, it happened in 17 years and we have seen the growth roadmap, the vision which we had to create something bigger larger from India for a global market. So we are looking forward to grow ourselves in various other markets. From last news we acquired two companies one in Latin America – Columbia, and recently one in Kuwait. We are definitely looking out to expand ourselves organically in certain markets in Europe and we would love to explore ourselves to acquire some companies in Africana probably and some other markets in US. And I think the reason that we are raising fund is for growth and that's only way and we wanted to have our warchest to be created with us whenever we go for any target, we should have funds ready. And we have already identified certain targets and we believe that in the coming months down the line we would go very aggressive in this space to have some acquisition. I hope I am able to answer your question. If anything I have missed may be Rathindra can add, or Gautam if you can add on that.

Mr. Sandipkumar Gupta, Chairman, Route Mobile Limited:

  • Gautam, please go ahead.

Mr. Rathindra Das – Head Legal, Company Secretary, Route Mobile Limited:

  • Gautam, if you want to add anything please go ahead.

  • Mr. Gautam Badalia – Chief Strategy Officer, Route Mobile Limited:

  • So I think the basic fundamental reason why we are raising this money is today this industry is growing at an exponential rate and we have been catching up with the growth rate from the industry standpoint. There is a lot of international strategic players doing a lot of consolidation themes across the world, and considering the dominance that we have in the emerging markets, we believe a fund raiser at this point in time to pursue our growth in organic and inorganic strategy will be very important. And the cash that we have on the balance sheet we will be consuming that for a couple of acquisitions that we have just announced. So this will again help keep ourselves capitalized, adequately capitalized to pursue the future growth strategies. Thank you.

Mr. Rathindra Das – Head Legal, Company Secretary, Route Mobile Limited:

Moderator, you can move on to the next speaker please.

Moderator:

  • The next speaker for the day is Mrs. Celestine Elizabeth Mascarenhas. Ma’am, you are placed in the meeting you can now speak, thank you.

  • Hello, can you hear me? Hello, hello.

  • Moderator:

  • Yes, ma’am, we can hear you.

  • Mrs. Celestine Elizabeth Mascarenhas – Shareholder, Route Mobile Limited:

  • You can see me also I think.

  • Moderator:

  • Yes, ma’am, we can see you.

  • Mrs. Celestine Elizabeth Mascarenhas – Shareholder, Route Mobile Limited:

  • Good I am very happy, last time it was a real problem. Now I come to my speech.

  • Respected Chairman, other honourable directors in this virtual meet, my fellow shareholders who are attending this virtual meeting, I am attending from Mumbai, my name is Mrs. C.E. Mascarenhas, folio number 1204(inaudible). First of all this is an EGM, I will thank the Company Secretary, Mr. R. Das and his team, Pratik and others for sending me an e-notice of the meeting and also registering my intention to speak on this platform also I am very grateful to NSDL who has given a very good platform with audio and video, thank you so much.

  • I come to this EGM which has got 2 resolutions. The first resolution is raising 2000 capital which is more like enabling because as we can see this additional capital is for the future of aggressive growth and expansion, long term in organic and inorganic growth. As it is inorganic we have already acquired 2 companies, I heard the chairman speak, one in Latin America and one in America. Now seeking out in Africa and I would like to know about the European side, are you also looking in Europe and in the eastern zone. What is the growth rate in India, domestic, domestic market looks very much, many of the companies like Tata Elxsi and all they are going up in the sky and they have become darling of the stock market. Also we are not less, we Route are also very much on the market and everybody seeks to be a member of this Company. Great Company.

  • Now my little response on these resolutions. The capital is raised, sir, I would also suggest give some rights to domestic shareholders, maybe this will become like a mini bonus and if not you don't want to be increase that much of capital, at the time being now you can give some convertible debentures with a very small coupon rate, conversion after 3 years so you get the capital immediately, you get the money immediately. I mean this is my way of thinking, it is a suggestion only. Then see the FPI investors, it is portfolio investors will be increased from 49 to 100% of the paid up capital. This is like an enabling but here also my one suggestion is there when we have these FPI, Foreign Portfolio Investors, don't see that one investor doesn't get a big chunk because what has happened in ZEE and all I wouldn’t like to see that. I mean let it be 3%, 4% like that so that they cannot come on the management and all that, hamper our growth story and all. So this is one of my suggestions after looking at so many of the balance sheets. Another of my suggestion is what about split of shares as our Company is now it is 4 digit figure, so naturally split would be very good and you can make, it is 10 rupees into 5 or 2 or 10, so this will also become like a small mini bonus to the minority shareholders. I mean this is my suggestion, of course, Board has to deliberate, the honourable learned Board has to deliberate on this. And see what is good for the shareholders, especially the domestic shareholders. With this I wish you, Dussehra is just over, my Dussehra greetings to all of you, and also on the occasion next day of Dussehra is so nice and raising capital and growth story which you have spelt out (inaudible). And even the whole presentation was very nice not like the AGM, I had a real tough time adjusting myself, this time it is very nice. And I wish you also in advance a very, very happy Deepavali, so that we become something like Tata Elxsi, there is no end to it’s growth, it looks that way, it has become now very much darling of the stock market. And I look at even Route Mobile doesn't remain behind, and I know it will strike there. With this all my good new year greetings also, after Deepavali there will be Nutan Year, New Year, this greetings are for

that also, with this I thank you very much. First I wish you all a very good health, when health is there wealth is definitely there because our Board and our employees are working very, very hard to give us all this growth and later on very good by way of dividend also. Thank you very much for giving me a very patient hearing. Thank you once again.

  • Moderator:

  • Thank you, ma’am.

Mr. Rajdip Gupta – Managing Director & Group CEO, Route Mobile Limited Limited:

  • Thank you, ma’am. Thank you for your kind words and season’s greetings for you as well and we are definitely looking, will definitely take a note of all your suggestions and we will definitely discuss this in the Board. In terms of our European expansion we are definitely looking out at an organic and inorganic way to grow in the market, as you know we have recently hired few people especially CEO for that market, John Owen from Mastek, and he is responsible to build this entire market for us and I think he is doing a great job, and we are very happy with his proceedings, the way he is handling the new team, the way he is trying to create a roadmap. So we are definitely looking at a market like Europe for sure in our growth story. And if you are talking about Route Mobile we are a global Company and every market is important for us. So it is not just one market we want to grow ourselves, but definitely a market where we see a huge potential in CPaaS, in all the markets where we are looking out to grow ourselves, and we will continue to focus on each and every market but there has to be way to focus which market has priority number one and which market has priority number two. But in a long term I think all these areas are definitely, markets are definitely going to contribute in a big way and we are definitely looking out our growth story and growth roadmap in this market and we will continue to do that. And all other suggestions we will definitely discuss internally and we will see how we can support on those. Thank you.
