ACL Wireless posts staggering 1148% growth to repeat win at Deloitte awards
New Delhi, 29 November, 2006.

ACL Wireless Limited today announced that it has been ranked amongst the fastest growing technology companies in India, for the second year in a row.

The announcement came after ACL posted a staggering 1148% revenue growth, over last three financial years, to be ranked no. 2 at this year’s ‘Deloitte Technology Fast 50 India 2006’ awards. ACL had ranked no. 1 at the inaugural edition of the awards last year.

The 2006 awards presented at a high profile ceremony on Saturday saw some of the top names in the technology, media and telecommunications industry come together to honor the winners.

Speaking at the event Mr. Atanu Mandal, president ACL Wireless Limited said, “Through a steadfast 1148% increase in revenue over last three years, ACL has once again made a firm statement about what innovation, coupled with a solid business model and sound execution, can accomplish. Rapid revenue growth is an achievement, but sustaining revenue growth over long periods is an even bigger challenge.”

“To be declared a winner, two years in a row, amongst the leaders in today's telecom, media & technology industry is a strong proof of ACL’s ability to be at the forefront of today's extremely challenging business landscape”, added Mr. Sanjay Goyal, CEO ACL Wireless Limited. Elaborating further Mr. Goyal said, “Being able to identify and bet on the next opportunity in the technology space, building unique proprietary products and evolving a new highly scalable business model are the key reasons for ACL’s resounding success.”
ACL has also been selected amongst the winners of Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific 2006 this year. It was the highest ranking Indian company at the same last year with a rank of 15. The Deloitte awards come in addition to ACL’s win at the Red Herring 100 Asia 2006 winner earlier this year.
