The flagship venture is SatNav Technologies, one of India’s early starters in the IT Products space, offering a wide array of Products both Off-the-shelf as well as customizable, for both the B2B and the B2C markets. The criteria to choose a particular product area are the high growth potential, current lack of competition and the projected market demand for the same.
