A Bit Of History
Infraline was conceived in year 1998, long before the internet revolution touched
India in a big way. The idea was to provide the information related to Infra structure
on online basis and hence the name Infraline. While the Industry
and the capital market have warmed up to the critical need of good Infrastructure
only over last couple of years, we spotted this need almost a decade and a half
back.
As one would recall, it was this period when India was in the midst of the economic
liberalization initiated in 1991 . During this transition period,Rakesh Mohan headed
Committee predicted that India would need hundreds of billions of dollars to develop
the infrastructure that meets the aspiration of a new country. It also emphasised
that the country needs to radically transform its archaic and colonial systems to
match the expectations of the domestic and overseas investors and to instil confidence
in entrepreneurs to put their efforts in Infrastructure sectors.
While today we talk about Information overload, in late nineties the information
was truly ‘power’, as it was the domain of selected few in the industry
and was considered highly privileged so much so that many of the Government notifications
were not available to stakeholders. Sensing the need, Infraline set out to use the
power of Internet as an efficient delivery channel of information to bridge the
wide chasm.
The services were launched in 1999 and since then there has been no looking back.
Starting with modest five clients, today Infraline has a proud portfolio of more
than 600 corporate marquee clients ranging from all the major public sector undertaking, private sector developers,
regulators, government and NGO bodies, investors, financial institutions, consultants,
law firms, academic institutions, etc. We take extreme pride in the fact that we
have over 98.25% client retention year after year.
We are sure that this would not have been possible were we not passionate about
client relationship and care. We have earned relationships over all these years.
We feel satisfied that today we know our clients by their names and understand their
needs.
We further take pride in our innovation ability. We have seldom taken the conventional
path and vision of the sector. We continuously look out for newer ways of doing
the things and of better ways to reach the customer. This enables to create our
work which is widely acknowledged as being the ‘First in the Industry’.
