WEEK IN BRIEF 2 - 7 January, 2012:

• CEO’s New Year Message:

Dear IPSRians,

One more eventful year has gone by in the history of IPSR. On recollecting the various happenings of 2011, I would like to share with you all the first thought that came to my mind in this New Year. What happened TO us is not important; rather what happened THROUGH us is important. In the past year, we have faced many difficult situations and of course we have been able to tackle them with our best efforts and perseverance. But the major effect was on the people who were inspired by our relentless efforts-many became motivated to move on with their goals seeing us overcome our difficulties. We have also had our share of success stories and bagged various Awards last year. The very fact that a small company like ours has been bagging the Red Hat International Awards for many consecutive years now has inspired many young entrepreneurs too.

Yet another venture we have been carrying forward successfully is our placement services. We have been able to help numerous students by giving them a placement and a career. Quoting one of the parents of a placed student who met me, “What you are doing is a Service to God.” We can renew our strengths by knowing that we have been able to do our service for a social cause, uplifting the lives of many students and in a way their families.

Having received the Samman Patra Award was yet another significant achievement for us last year. It is nothing but a foolproof evidence of the fact that we do believe in values and we can deliver what we promise. I have come across many people who have been influenced by us in this perspective and have decided to move more ethically in their businesses.

We can definitely feel fulfilled by the fact that many people have been influenced by us in one way or the other and also feel happy that we have been able to achieve our ultimate aim of touching the lives of people for a positive growth.

Looking towards 2012 is equally inspirational as we are planning for a big leap in our services and the overall growth of IPSR. I pray that by the Grace of God Almighty we will succeed in climbing great heights this year too.

Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous New Year!!
