Its average turnover for 2017-18 was about Rs 50 crore. This figure escalated from Rs 9 crore in 2010. The reason for the good growth, as per Mr. Punia, is “that we make it a point to provide quality services and timely delivery.

One such assurance of good work came from Imasen for being its best supplier. Mr. Punia is extremely upbeat about the business environment in India. Says he, “there is no such thing as no opportunities in our country; one just needs to be focused and all matters get simplified by themselves.” It is this kind of attitude which has taken this firm into the exclusive club of the “top five companies in our niche arena.” However, Mr. Punia is not pulling at any stops with such achievements. He and his team continue to garner accolades with literally each passing day. This is the sure signal signature tune of a company which really means good business.
