Singapore, March 10, 2006

On the evening of 9 March 2006, at the Rizt Carlton Ballroom Mr Vikas Goel, Chairman & MD of eSys Technologies, was adjudged Singapore “Entrepreneur of the Year 2005”. He was also adjudged winner in the “Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year” Category. As Entrepreneur of the Year 2005 he will represent Singapore for "Worldwide Entrepreneur of the Year Awards" in Monte Carlo in Monaco in June 2006 in which winner will be chosen from 40 award winning entrepreneurs from different countries.

Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the year awards are touted as Oscars of the business world.

To draw a few parallels and put things in perspective - Michael Dell of Dell Computers, Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Pierre Omidyar of eBay and Sergey Brin & Larry Page of Google were recipients of the world award in the past. Infosys Chief Mentor N R Narayanamurthy and Sunil Bharti Mittal of Bharti group of India have been the past recipients of this award in India.

In his acceptance speech Mr Goel said, "An exceptional entrepreneur is able to identify a threat which nobody wants to touch and convert it into an opportunity. Secondly, the successful entrepreneur is a person who looks at a business opportunity and is not self-obsessed by his own beliefs and passions"

Mr Vikas Goel had started eSys Technologies in 2000 in Singapore as Technology Distribution company. Today it is a USD 2 Billion Transnational with 112 offices in 33 countries. With global leadership position in Hard Disk Drive Distribution and other Technology products, eSys has successfully diversified into PC Manufacturing and IT&BPO Services.

eSys has followed an innovative and efficient approach for its PC business by setting up plants next to its Regional Logistics hubs for Technology Components Distribution business. This brings in synergies and helps bring cost of manufacturing PC considerably down. Currently eSys has four such state of the art, software controlled facilities in Singapore, Dubai, Los Angeles and New Delhi.

After completing his MBA in India, Mr Goel came to Singapore to work for a distribution company in 1996. He worked hard and kept on moving up the ladder in professional world and worked in companies like Fujitsu before founding eSys.

When asked what does work mean to him, his answer is simple but powerful, “It’s about making your business your passion, rather than making your passion your business”

On eSys business model and efficiency Mr Goel said, “eSys is a company with strong fundamentals. We have brick-and-mortar business on ground. [The] worldwide web of eSys business offices and warehouses is a testimony to that. Physical business is supported by a robust, cost-effective business platform consisting of innovative IT infrastructure and efficient process management model. One of the strong reasons for our sustainability is efficiency. Our business platform is 500 per cent more efficient than [that of] our competitors.”
