business environment it was well decided to set up an business in the same industry which would
be complying with all the compliances so that the company not only complies with the set rules
and conditions by the Audit Committee but also create a brand value and goodwill in the
industry. On the other hand high profit margins and demands for the current business services
were other key facts analysed.
