2014 has been a year of op�mism and renewed vigor for EPS, during which we reaffirmed our commitment to all our stakeholders. Our clients are one of our most important stakeholders and we strive to be consistently relevant to their changing business needs. To enable our clients to an�cipate and adapt to the ever-changing business environment, we have had to transform ourselves internally many a �me.
In recent years, we embarked on a strategy that focuses on opportuni�es from the Retail Banking, ATM and Payment Services industry. Over the past year, while we con�nued to stay the course of that strategy, we sharpened its execu�on.
Our biggest assets are our employees. Through their hard work, passion and commitment to excellence, they help us differen�ate ourselves in the marketplace and realize our aspira�ons. Early in my career, I realized there are four fundamental requirements for corporate success i.e. building a strong founda�on of quality people based on fairness, transparency, meritocracy and accountability; implemen�ng robust real �me systems leveraging modern technology; ins�tu�ng
responsive, fric�onless and transparent processes to faithfully represent the business environment of the company; and finally, taking quick and objec�ve decisions based on data and facts and eschewing biases.
I have always believed that fairness, transparency, meritocracy, accountability and leadership by example are key to the success of EPS. Teamwork is important but it is also important to measure and recognize the performance of an individual. This is extremely valuable feedback to individuals as it gives them an addi�onal dimension to improve their use of �me and work. We believe this culture of individuals being aware of their produc�vity has the poten�al to improve how appraisals are done, how wasted effort is reduced in the workplace and ul�mately, how we deliver services to our clients. I firmly believe it has the poten�al to transform our organiza�on at a fundamental level.
While delivering value to our stakeholders, we make sure that we do not lose focus of the need to give back to society. We con�nue to expand our reach and make a difference to society by empowering people and communi�es at the bo�om of the pyramid and providing opportuni�es to improve standards of living, through reputable NGOs across India.
