Sending the right massage



This result was published in today's Business Line. Forget about company's performance or the lack of it, I was appalled by their gross negligence for attention to detail.

Some of the most important numbers (Incl profits) are not part of these published results and have a "#REF!" tag. This is a classic Microsoft Excel error when the formula is wrong or is not referenceable.

The point is how can a listed company not take this basic precaution before publishing their results in a national daily? If indeed this reflects their attitude/ capability, then why should any investor trust their hard earned money with this firm?

Dear Kerala Ayurveda, please get your massage right... (I hope you spotted what damage a misplaced alphabet is capable of creating..)
