When Avenir started the engagement in April 2008, the PBT for 2007-08 was 15.5 Cr and in 2008-09 inspite of the recession, the profit numbers were 16.85 Cr (Locks was perhaps the only division in G&B whose profits increased over last year). So, we have almost doubled the profits from 16.85 Cr to 30.4 Cr within a year. These fantastic results have been made possible by the perseverance and belief of Godrej and Avenir in the TOC solution.
