Since recent some years, Sangam Group has been playing the game really well, and now it has set target of reaching the turnover near Rs 1000 Crs. We appreciate this and would like to know, what is the recipe to this success?

Thereafter, with swift and precision management decision making and excellent team, the company expanded timely in various phases.

With the efficient management of resources and adequate support of company’s bankers, the company is going to achieve Rs 1000 Crore turnover in the year 2010-11.
