Idea Chairman Speech-09.Pmd IDEA CELLULAR LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 Mr. G. D. Birla and Mr. Aditya Birla, our founding fathers. We live by their values. Integrity, Commitment, Passion, Seamlessness and Speed The Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders Dear Shareholders, The Indian mobility sector witnessed robust growth during the year. The total mobility subscribers, as on March 2009, stood at 392 million, registering an annual growth of around 50%. The low cost of entry and service, coupled with the deeper penetration of the network, have been the main drivers of the sector growth. Your Company had an excellent year, with consolidated revenue crossing the Rs. 100 billion mark. Its revenue at Rs. 101.54 billion, is up by 51% over that of the previous year. Even after the exclusion of revenue from the new service areas of Mumbai and Bihar, and from the joint ventures Spice and Indus, the annual revenue growth from older service areas is around 46%. This growth, coming on the back of the earlier year’s revenue growth of 54%, marks IDEA as India’s fastest growing major telco over the last two years. The net profit, for the year, stood at Rs. 8,816 million. Your company, during the financial year 2009-10, launched services in Orissa, Tamil Nadu (including Chennai), Jammu & Kashmir, Kolkata and West Bengal. With the imminent launch of services in Assam and North East service areas, your Company, alongwith its subsidiary and joint venture, will become a Pan India operator, befitting its stature and potential. Among other accolades, your company has been selected by the Economic Times as the ‘Emerging Company of the Year’ for 2009. The calendar year 2009, has seen overcapacity hitting the Indian telecom sector, largely due to the investment decisions of 2007-08, both from cross-over licensees and new licensees. This has inevitably lead to a phase of hyper competition. Your company has anticipated and prepared itself for this phase. Your company is strongly placed in its established service areas, while the approach for some of the new service areas is measured. I believe based on this well-crafted strategy, advantage of spectrum and scale, sophisticated management processes, brand strength, human capital and strong balance sheet, your Company will emerge even stronger through this phase. The Aditya Birla Group: In Perspective prides itself in having a course completion ratio of 90%, Today, we manage multinational teams – 1,30,000 which is a world benchmark. employees, comprising 30 nationalities, across 25 As perhaps many of you may be aware we track the countries, anchor our US$ 29.2 billion meritocratic organisational climate every two years.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease in which the body attacks its own cells and tissues. Due to damage in the nerve layer i.e. myelin sheath, transmission of signals from the brain and spinal cord gets affected. The most common symptoms are weakness in the limbs, numbness, sudden loss of balance, blurred vision that may lead to paralysis. The disease mostly strikes youth at a time when are starting new careers, relationships or making plans for the future.

At the conference, there was a collective recognition of the unfolding impact of digitalization on various aspects of social, cultural, and political life in South Asia. We had a keen sense of how much things had changed in the South Asian mediascape since the introduction of cable and satellite television in the late 1980s and early 1990s. We were also aware of the growing interest in media studies within South Asian studies, and hoped that the conference would resonate with scholars from various disciplines across the humanities and social sci- ences.
