Ajcon Global Services: Eyes on Infinity and Beyond

CIO Vendor During the early eighties, at the height of license Raj in India, very few could muster up the courage to dwell into the ether world of establishing a small scale industry. Rigid government policies caused delays in getting land allotments, SSI registrations, Pollution Board Certificates, term loan sanctions, subsidy sanction and disbursements etc. "Around the same time, there were several constraints in giving recognition to financial consulting firms which made it tougher to represent small entrepreneurs before banks and financial institutions," adds Ashok Ajmera, MD of Ajcon Global Services Limited. Fighting against these odds, he incepted Ajcon, a provider of financial services in 1986. Ajcon in those days provided one window service to small entrepreneurs right from site selection, MIDC Land Allotment, obtaining SSI registration, preparing the project report to arranging the requisite term loan, working capital and state Govt. subsidies "My sole objective was to help aspiring small entrepreneurs set up their business," he adds.
