Alco Infotech : Moving Beyond East

Alco Infotech debuted in the Silver Club at #25, right after yet another
debutante from East. The company grew its revenue by 62 percent in 2007-08 to
post a turno­ver of Rs 105 crore, up from Rs 65 crore the previous fiscal. The
company however has kept its focus firmly on the eastern market till last year.

The company has also done a significantly good job as far as distribution of
Transcend and Microsoft products is concerned. Last FY, the distribution of
Transcend has alone accounted the bulk of the company's revenue share.

Established in 1997, Alco Infotech is now all set to expand its territory
beyond the fringes of East.

With an outlet in Kolkata, the company is now heavily concen­trating on its
distri­butorship ventures. As per the company, its retail business contri­butes
approximately five percent of its total business as the company has maintai­ned
a balanced revenue sharing throughout the quarters.

The company is now keen to include new products in the distri­bution arena.
Currently it is focusing on distribution of storage devices, laptops and
desktops.
