The amazing Sloka Telecom story

March 18, 2009

'No ecosystem to foster innovation'

Is there a demand Indian made telecom devices abroad?

In reality, though we have geared ourselves to serve Indian market, most of our current sales are happening outside India. We are not seeing a mental barrier amongst our customers while buying Indian products. Some of our customers in Brazil or Indonesia are quite comfortable buying Indian telecom products.

How are company's revenues growing?

We are working towards achieving positive cash flows in the next six months. Our revenues are not constant and come in spurts whenever we take on a new order. We see an increasing demand for our products and solutions – recently we signed with two major customers as a long term supplier.

How do you see the growth of the India telecom market?

Indian telecom market will grow exponentially in the next five years whether we like it or not. It may slow down a little bit due to the current downturn, but the growth will not be stalled.

India will turn out to be one of the biggest markets on the planet – may be second only to China. Indian telecom focus will slowly move away from urban to rural India. Broadband connectivity and voice telephony are the key services.
