Rolta India: Eye of the Storm

Throughout the first half of FY 2004-05, Rolta was hounded by allegations of
financial irregularities. Despite this the company neither lost its footing nor
its credibility amongst its customers worldwide; instead, it was awarded both
CMM Level 5 and BS7799 even as it bagged significant domestic as well as
international projects, exceeding Rs 200 crore. These were spread across diverse
segments, including utilities and communications (People's Energy, US), town
planning (Sacramento Municipality), public service/dispatch agencies (City
Public Service, San Antonio), photogrammetry (Military Survey Department, Abu
Dhabi) and digital imagery (Indian Ministry of Defense) amongst others. Since
Rolta had the largest mapping data available with it in India, the Government
Survey of India made the company its preferred partner.
