TRANSCRIPT

2015-16 has been the year of achievements for the Indian Government. India has overtaken China as the fastest

growing major economy in the world, expanding by 7.3% and cementing its position as one of the sole bright spots in

a flailing global economy. Besides building diplomatic relations with neighboring countries and also other important

world economies, our government has launched several initiatives like ‘Skill India’, ‘Digital India’, ‘Startup India’ etc

which are Pro Development. India is integrating well with the world economy and we will see progress in logistic

sector too.

I am happy to state that the year 2015-16 has shown a 20% growth over the previous year and the Company has

surpassed its annual budget which has been possible because of the efforts and contribution by all at Jeena. We hope

to maintain the same momentum this year. We have also increased our product offering in Pharma sector with the

tie-up with ‘Marken’ (Global Life Sciences Supply Chain specialists).

E-commerce has seen an unprecedented growth in the past year, and is projected to be worth $220 billion by 2025.

Yet, e-commerce is beyond just sales and GMV numbers. Speed of delivery is as important as the product quality for a

customer. It would not be wrong to say that logistics could be the defining factor for success of e-commerce

companies in retaining their customers.

At present, the country’s logistics industry is worth $300 billion and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 12.17 per cent

by 2020. Innovations are very important in this sector, as the demand is always for more reach and faster shipping at

lower costs. Yet, the companies will need to invest in automation, while utilizing existing resources well.

We will be seeing a lot of opportunities knocking at our doors during this financial year which should translate into

business.

We wish all the best to our customers, partners and colleagues.

Dear Robinson,

(Branch Manager, Jeena Tuticorin)

Yesterday you and your team did an extremely marvellous job. I really appreciate your team's hard work. Almost everyone do hard work, but it is only worth when desired results come. It was my first business with your company and honestly speaking I was little afraid that how you guys will handle my shipment. Since my shipment requires labelling on cartons at CFS, it demands skilful operation. Despite of cargo reaching late at CFS, you have completed job and matched the desired schedule, I congratulate you and your team. You guys have proved that Jeena Logistics delivers service excellence and industry's best people work for a market leader company.

Thank you again for all your efforts. Look forward to work continuously with your esteemed organization.

Thanks & regards,

NIlesh Goyal
