Our security officers come from certified vendors
who conduct regular licensed training for their
personnel. Standard operating procedures are also
in place to ensure maximum preparedness during
threat and contingency situations. All employees
and staff vehicles in India are issued with a hologram
identification sticker. Vehicle arrestors are installed
at the main entrances, and power fencing line
the boundary walls of our business park as added
precautions. Apart from deploying armed guards
at all gates, our surveillance guards also perform
regular random checks. In addition, we work
closely and receive intelligence inputs from the
local police, the State Intelligence Bureau and the
Centre for Counter Terrorism. This enables us to
better deal with threats from terrorism that may
compromise the security of our properties in India.
In FY15/16, there have been no reports of terrorism
threats, trespassing violations and incidences of theft.
