Shreeyash Industries Ltd has been operating in very difficult markets
where every retail brand has suffered hugely due to rising inflation
and perched purchasing power in the hands of buyers. During the year,
the Company as a part of gaining footprint in the textiles market has
commenced trading activities of textiles. Though the margins are thin,
the business is more secured and steady than the present retail
markets. However the operating results in current year has ended in
Loss.
Shreeyash has carved a niche for itself. Blessed with the critical mass
of expertise and experience, we are focused on achieving milestones
powered by momentum. Moreover, our business roadmap is growing greener
and prosperous day by day.
The assurances given to the members and with the back drop of the
tremendous response, the company got from member shareholders, we are
proud to announce that your company has acquired controlling share in a
emerging Neutraceutical and healthcare company viz., Manidhari Health
Mantra Private Limited which is a Hyderabad based company.
With the acquisition of Neutraceutical business your company changed
its future outlook focusing mainly on the products such as health care,
wellbeing and cosmetic products. In furtherance of these objects your
company has already made substantial progress in registering several
brands and trademarks protecting its intellectual property.
The domain of Neutraceutical enjoys the rare distinction of being aimed
at human welfare as concern of the current day and it is felt by the
society as an increasing necessity.
As such, we have incorporated R&D into our way of work and consistently
aimed at achieving pinnacles of innovation. We have developed and
documented standardized, location-specific Package of Practices that
can be used both as a yardstick and a road map for high yield,
commercial cultivation of Neutraceutical products and innovative crops
like Quinoa. A process driven adherence to this Package of Practices
ensures plantations to provide exceptional yields.
Generating employment for rural populaces making lands productive and
establishing a dedicated supply of required raw material to the
company, increasing the size and scope of our cultivation over the
years is the objective with which we have been continuing our journey.
As a part of our marketing strategy we involve various innovative
partnership models and follow a planned roadmap of achieving and
leveraging sustainability.
Shreeyash is keen to take its business plan to the next level. The
Company is planning to build the "Innovation Centre" in lease hold land
to consolidate Neutraceutical activities at one place. The Innovation
Centre will have all the operations at one place to showcase the proof
of concept of the Business model.
Innovation Centre will consolidate the Neutraceutical operations by
establishing the Agri R&D, Neutraceutical R& D along with Bio
Technology Laboratories, Processing units for the Standardized Herbal
Extract, formulation and capsulation with increased capacities to meet
domestic & international demand.

Your company through its subsidiary has identified a protein rich
highly export oriented cereal ''Quinoa''. Quinoa is an Andean plant which
originated in the area surrounding Lake Titicaca in Peru and Bolivia.
Quinoa was cultivated and used by pre-Columbian civilizations and was
replaced by cereals on the arrival of the Spanish, despite being a
local staple food at the time. Like whole grains, quinoa is packed with
nutrients and offers many benefits for the body. The seeds are quite
versatile and can be enjoyed alone seasoned with a little olive oil and
fresh herbs.
We will be establishing an R & D facility for crop based research like
Germ Plasms Accession, Cultivation Technology, Increasing Potential
Yield, Integrated Crop Management, Integrated Nutrient Management,
Integrated Pest Management, Conducting Multi Location Trials and
Accommodating Agronomic Practices. We will also establish a Nursery
Production Center for the propagation of quality planting material &
assured uninterrupted material supply.
To ensure steady supply of feedstock the company has adopted a model
called Educate, Cultivate & Elevate. We will also implement various
farming models like Contract Farming, P4 Model, P3 Model, NGO Model,
Estate Farming Model, Self Help Group Model etc.
During the year under review your company has taken up a pilot
cultivation of 5 acres in a lease hold land near Hyderabad and we have
got very good results. For venturing into the said product and scale up
cultivation and trading activity of Quinoa during the current financial
year, the company has started its spade work towards this end meeting
regulatory bodies, consultants, traders etc..
During the current financial year the company has its plans to expand
its activity to other neighboring countries and have the scope of
growth opened up to the world market. Towards this end your company is
planning to open up subsidiaries in Dubai and Malaysia. At Shreeyash,
we believe that business can be a force for the good health of the
Greater Community.

PERFORMANCE
AND REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:
Shreeyash Industries Ltd has been operating in very difficult markets.
During the year, the Company as a part of gaining footprint in the
textiles market has commenced trading activities of textiles. Though
the margins are thin, the business is more secured and steady than the
present retail markets.
However the downtrend in retail trade has made the Company to look at
other pastures i.e. Africa, which has a tremendous demand for made
ups. The Company is looking at entering that market in the immediate
future. The retail trade in India has not seen growth. In fact most of
the top brands are reeling under this recession. Therefore the company
is having a cautious outlook for the future. However the exports market
in Africa looks lucrative and the Company would like to seize this
opportunity and focus on exports besides looking up at domestic markets
as it believes the economy will start picking up.

reported a modest profit FINANCE:
