Milestone OnMobile's Ringback Tone (RBT) product now reaches 61 million mobile customers worldwide and delivers approximately 500 million music plays daily. This impressive milestone underscores the growth momentum of one of the principal offerings of the company and confirms OnMobile's leadership position in the mobile music space. The company's RBT is currently deployed across 41 countries through more than 60 top-tier global telecommunications operators. B. Market Expansion 1) OnMobile signed a deal of five years with Robi to deploy various Ringback Tone and Interactive Voice Response solutions. Part of the Axiata Group, Robi is the 3rd largest mobile operator in Bangladesh with 24 million subscribers and has 21% market share with a savvy subscriber base having high ARPU. With this deployment, OnMobile will power more than 68% of the RBT base in Bangladesh and have relationships with all operators in the country, becoming the provider of choice for these services. 2) OnMobile became the exclusive Caller Ringback Tone partner (RBT) for Tata Teleservices (Tata) in India.

This partnership will enable Tata to improve operational efficiency, reduce turnaround time and provide a superior user experience to all its subscribers. Signed for an initial term of 3 years, this deal will allow Tata's CDMA subscribers to access a slew of RBT features which were earlier available only for GSM subscribers. 3) OnMobile deployed its signature Ringback Tone product in Brazil.

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY Operational efficiency at OnMobile is a continual endeavor. Over the past year, apart from the constant platform innovation and upgrades, we focused on the following initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs. The Delivery, Operations and Engineering teams jointly drove the following efforts: Automation & Optimization: All repetitive tasks were reviewed from a monitoring and automation perspective. Manual tasks were automated wherever possible and other tasks were re-engineered to reduce the time spent to complete the tasks. A site wise usage monitoring GUI was also provided which allowed the operations teams, irrespective of their location, to view the status and usage of the hardware and software components in production. Operations team optimization: The Operations team was consolidated under the Global Network Operations Centre (GNOC). This removed geographical overlaps and brought in efficiency. Automation also helped reduce the operations team size over the last year. The GNOC teams are continually working on streamlining the operations process and better manage the customer Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with their 24/7 service desks. Configuration management: As part of the operational efficiency drive we have created a configuration management tool for our key platforms, so that the centralized operations teams can remotely configure the services at site. This will help reduce the errors in configuration at the multiple sites, and ensure that the configuration backups are always available at a central site for restoration or trouble shooting in case of an error. INFRASTRUCTURE OnMobile is going strong with more than 40 offices across the globe and 2.25 lakh square feet of office space. The offices are categorized as virtual office, business centers and leased offices. The largest facility is the Electronic city office in Bangalore with 1.30 lakh square feet of office space. All the OnMobile facilities are well equipped with good working atmosphere and high level of security and safety competency. Regular planned preventive measures are in place to avoid downtime and ensure business continuity. OnMobile services to customers across 150 cities and towns in India. It has 9 regional warehouses catering to internal hardware movement and supporting operations of more than 2,500 IT internal servers across India. OnMobile is a truly global company which is spread across 53 countries and enjoys long-term partnerships with global telecom operators. HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT People world of OnMobile OnMobile has always believed in building a culture of innovation and creativity where our employees are inspired to achieve excellence in their area of functioning. As we transform ourselves to be a part of a new age technology world, we will continue to nurture a common culture among our globally diversified workforce. Our focus for the year 2014-2015 was to create a highly engaged workplace. We emphasized on learning and skill development, identifying and rewarding our talent and corporate social responsibilities events Learning and Skill Development Skill development is a priority at OnMobile. We believe that if employees are given the opportunity to continually advance professionally, then it increases our ability to achieve our short and long term business objectives. In the year 2014 - 2015, we implemented an online learning tool. Employees have access to a robust portfolio of technical courses and courses on soft-skills and business skills, with about 250 courses offered online to our global workforce. The response has been overwhelming as it allows learning anywhere and anytime. We continue to offer a comprehensive suite of programs to all levels of management, from coaching for performance evaluation to specialized classroom learning. We are especially focused on strengthening our general management abilities. Identifying and Rewarding Critical Talent In early 2014, we implemented a framework to retain our critical talent. One of key features of the framework was to introduce and implement differential reward system for critical workforce. We also introduced ESOP based compensation program to participate in the long term success of OnMobile. OnMobile believes in hiring best talent and thus has a very strenuous hiring process based on the role. The process includes hiring from best colleges and from reputed organizations. Throughout 2014, we continued to recruit employees throughout the world, with particular emphasis on emerging markets. We added 214 people across the globe - our people count in March 2015 was 1,145. In our 2015 talent engagement survey, a general survey of all employees conducted every year, we achieved an overall employee engagement score of 70% as compared to the engagement score of 60% in the year 2014. We attribute this to the implementation of initiatives such as effective goal setting process, organization restructuring (which resulted in enriched roles within the organization leading to higher productivity) and a huge focus on skill development. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY In the year 2014-15, OnMobile continued support towards "Education" as a social cause through Give India Payroll giving program. The Company had tie-ups with few NGOs during Indian festivals. We are currently working on our social investment strategy wherein we could leverage our technology to support a social cause. The Company has constituted a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee in accordance with Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013. The CSR Committee was constituted by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on July 31, 2014. The CSR committee charter and the CSR Policy of the Company are available in the below website link: <http://www.onmobile.com/sites/default/files/cg_policy/> Corporate_Social_Responsibility_Policy.pdf The Annual report on our CSR activities is appended as Annexure VII to the Director's report. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT During the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, OnMobile executed a transformation of its R&D operations. The transformation followed three main pillars: focus, agility and user experience. A more focused R&D force OnMobile executed the consolidation of its research and development centers around three main locations: Bangalore, Paris (France) and St-Ives (United Kingdom), each of those centers have clear responsibilities and areas of expertise. In Bangalore, the engineering workforce has deep expertise on large-scale platforms supporting billions of calls per days and complex telecommunication systems. In Paris, the product development team is specialized in mobile applications and user experience, in St-Ives, the R&D is focused on developing content storefronts, the backbone of our CVAS offering. The number of products has also been reduced significantly in order to focus on the ones with the most potential and increase efficiency. A more agile product development process Through extensive agile development training and the use of the latest cloud-based collaboration tools such as Slack and In-vision, the product development process has been completely reshaped. In the past, OnMobile used to follow waterfall development process, a process popular among Telco companies. While still using some of it for the largest back-end development work, the R&D force is now organized in small multi-disciplinary teams working in an agile way to iterate quickly on prototypes and deliver new products faster. A greater emphasis on user experience In 2013, the Consumer Connect initiative was started. This initiative was about gathering consumer insights through the analysis of the very large amount of data that the OnMobile platforms manage. The initiative is still continuing and it is showing great value to our services by helping us reduce churn and grow usage. This also helped OnMobile identify opportunities and pain points. In order to fix those pain points, the user experience team has been ramped up with the addition of new user interface designers and interaction designers. This fiscal year has been about transforming the way the research and development workforce operate. It is now faster, more efficient and much more focused. The next fiscal year is going to be about the massive upgrade of our ringback tone platform to enable new products and new operational models.
