Editor's Notes
- #2: Title Slide
- #3: eInfochips has been around for 19 years, and has been cash positive, debt free and Profitable since inception. Today, we are over a thousand professionals operating from 10 design centers and 12 sales offices. Our US HQ is in Sunnyvale while the India HQ is in Ahmedabad. We foresee strong business growth over the next few years. Since the beginning of 2013, we have invested in 2 new design centers in Ahmedabad and Noida, while we have doubled the capacity in Pune and Bangalore. This picture is of our new facility in Ahmedabad, inaugurated in June. It is a fantastic place, with an ‘Experience Zone’ that has on display some of the products we have designed for our clients. I would strongly recommend that you should visit us in Ahmedabad. Most technology companies from India have a strong presence in IT / ERP / CRM solutions. On the contrary, we are a pure-play Product Engineering Services company. 100% of our business comes from building and sustaining products – whether that are made of Software, Embedded or Hardware, or a combination of these. <EXPLAIN THIS ONLY IF REQUIRED> I am sure you get the difference – For IT Services, the user profile is known. The deployment environment is favorable, and familiar. Users are well trained with the system. Also, if a CRM system crashes, there are 50 people on the premises who are specifically there to fix it. On the contrary, when we make a home automation system, the users could be literate/semi-literate or illiterate, young and old. When we develop a UAV Software, we have no idea on the conditions it will have to endure. And how many people read the user manual before using a camera? Biometric access devices we develop are deployed in military bases over Iraq and Afghanistan. If that system crashes, there isn’t an engineer in a thousand miles who could fix it, while the impact could potentially be catastrophic. In short, Product Engineering Services has very stringent quality benchmarks, and we specialize at building critical and complex systems, as we will cover later in the presentation.
