Chairman & CEO's Message

Commenting on results, Mr. Vijay Gupta, Chairman & CEO, SoftTech Engineers Limited said:
"It gives me immense pleasure to share with you the performance of our Company for the half year ended 30th September 2018. We have delivered over 40% revenue growth along with 24% EBITDA and 60 % PAT growth. This is mainly on the account of faster execution of orders along with a strong order book. For faster implementation process, we have started outsourcing professional technical consultancy on certain orders. We have also started our overseas expansion in USA & Finland and marketing activities in domestic market to further strengthen our presence, in line with our vision and strategy.
We are proud to share that we are partnering with the Government of India in its mission – "Ease of Doing business" by associating ourselves as a "Smart City Solution Provider" meeting the requirements of the automation in AEC verticals by using our expertise in IT.
Innovation is the key to any business and our products are innovative and developed with the deep domain expertise across the entire value chain in the construction industry. Going forward, our focus is completely towards Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) vertical. We are slowly but confidently making inroads into international markets such as Middle East, African, American and European Countries. Through these ventures and strategic business alliances with key organizations such as Microsoft & Autodesk, we would strengthen our position as a leading enterprise. I would like to thank all our business partners and employees for their invaluable support and belief in us which drives us to deliver a robust performance every year."
