Message from Mr. Priyesh Ganatra, MD of Cloud 9

“The biggest yardstick to a Company’s performance is the dedication

and pride with which it serves its customers. It is this commitment to
consumers that has allowed Cloud 9 to build a reputation based on
quality, outstanding performance, unparalleled value and customer
loyalty and has helped forge relationships that transcend time,
  geography, age and cultural inclinations. These relationships are
something that matters most to us rather than short-term gains and it is
this reason that these bonds are sure to get stronger over time.”

Profile

Mr. Priyesh M. Ganatra, the Managing Director of Cloud 9 is

unanimously credited for Shree Jalaram Group’s foray into the Energy
Drink and Cola market. One of the youngest Managing Directors in
India, Mr. Priyesh Ganatra has played a pivotal role in chalking out the
company's organisational and structural framework which has helped
Cloud 9 chart a course of unparalleled success in the industry.

 He specialises in the area of sales, finance and marketing and his
personal interest in the markets of Mumbai and Goa has not only
enabled Cloud 9 to outperform here but also create a solid foundation
for future growth.

The success in these markets is a case study in outstanding execution

of business strategy and planning, and has helped develop a business
model that is set to be replicated across India with a promise of
guaranteed results.

His business acumen, complimented by his virtuous and effervescent

personality has made him one most popular members of the Cloud 9
family. Also, his ability to gauge the pulse of the market and make
judicious decisions at the right time has been crucial in scripting the
meteoric rise of Cloud 9 as India’s biggest manufacturer of energy
drinks.

Mr. Priyesh Ganatra’s expertise and interests goes well beyond the
realm of the business world. He is an avid sport enthusiast and takes
his sport very seriously. He has also competed with distinction at the
Maharashtra Tenpin Bowling Championship. He believes that the
qualities of a good sportsman and a good businessman are similar and
there is a lot that one can learn from the other.
 His message to Indian companies is not to shy away from competition
but rather encourage healthy competition and make sure that we
prepare ourselves to face any challenges with utmost confidence, a
steely conviction and absolute dedication.

He has set no goals for the company in the short-term and believes
setting shortsighted goals limits the company’s ability to maximise its
true potential and may lead to complacency.

Giving 100% in everything you do and learning everyday is what leads

to continuous improvement and allows you to conquer your limitation
and thereby supersede your targets and providing maximum output.

However, he believes that work without proper planning and thorough

preparation leads to unwarranted waste of resources and time, and time
is perhaps the most crucial element when facing the kind of
competition that we are facing today.

Mr. Priyesh Ganatra is convinced that “The Sky is the Limit” for
Cloud 9 and has set his sight towards driving the company into a
growth cycle that goes from strength to strength with every passing
day, driven by inspiring leadership, a motivated staff and committed
business partners.
 Cloud 9’s Inception

Cloud 9 is manufactured by Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd, the specialists in the

manufacture of 100% Natural Lifestyle Energy Drinks and Caffeine-Free Cola, using
its cutting edge technology and plethora of ingenious solutions and indigenous know-
how.

Cloud 9’s vision has always been to provide India with drinks that give the consumers
the desired energy boost, yet are completely healthy and have no side effects associated
with other drinks.

Cloud 9 achieves this exact balance of 'energy and health' through the perfect
combination of naturally occurring, energy rich resources with high-tech
manufacturing techniques that gives consumers the best of both worlds.

The success of Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. is to a large extent the result of the
entrepreneurial vision and strategic brilliance of its young and dynamic Managing
Director, Mr. Priyesh Ganatra.

Mr. Priyesh Ganatra has successfully carried-forward the entrepreneurial spirit of Mr.
Mohan Ganatra, the Chairman of Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. (GHPL), whose
business instincts and prudent decision making is nothing short of legendary, and is
something that the management, staff and business associates alike swear by.

Following in the footsteps of Mr. Mohan Ganatra, the young stalwart is poised to drive
Cloud 9 into a new phase of unmatched success and uninhibited growth.

 
 Cloud 9’s Metamorphosis

Before deciding to venture into the market, the management of Cloud 9 conducted a
thorough and detailed study of prevailing market conditions in the energy drink and
cola market, and the entire FMCG sector as a whole. It was revealed in the study that
the FMCG market was mainly dominated by foreign players and the ingredients used
in most of the popular drinks were harmful to the human body.

Keeping in mind the revelations of the study, Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. came up
with India’s first natural energy drink and caffeine-free cola that was made purely from
natural ingredients that completely adhered to FDA standards and regulations.

Right at the outset, Cloud 9 recognised the potential of the energy drink market in India
and decided to venture into it with a big push to cement an Indian presence in a scene
dominated by international companies.

Cloud 9 penetrated the market at lightning speed and went on to become the second
biggest player in the country. It was indeed an impressive feat for an FMCG product to
capture the market at the pace that Cloud 9 Energy Drink did. Today, one can ask for
Cloud 9 at one of the 80,000 outlets, more than 30,000 wine shops, high-end pubs and
many five-star hotels across the country. We accredit our success to the combined
efforts of the entire Cloud 9 family.

Following the overwhelming success of Cloud 9 energy drink, Goldwin Healthcare

Pvt. Ltd. has now successfully launched India’s first 100% caffeine-free cola. Usually,
children are dissuaded from consuming colas owing to the level of caffeine present in
them; but the Cloud 9 Cola can be consumed by one and all, which is also its USP.

Realising the role that specialist media vehicles play in communicating a brand’s
message effectively by reaching out to its strategic target audiences, we have spruced
up the branding and publicity efforts of Cloud 9 Cola on Mumbai local trains and
BEST buses, including the hi-tech AC buses which has proved to be very successful
for Cloud 9. We look forward to seeing Cloud 9 Cola gain wider acceptance in the
market and grow form strength to strength with each passing day.
 Cloud 9’s Growth Plank

The Indian market is currently dominated by well established multinational giants who
run a monopoly in various segments, where an Indian presence is at a minimum. Cloud
9 will be the first Indian company after many years to successfully compete with these
monopolistic behemoths.

Goldwin Healthcare will soon be launching an array of products over the coming year.
The product launches include, Tonic Water, Flavoured Mineral Water, Soda and an
Aloe Vera Juice. All these products are 100% natural and devoid of any harmful
ingredients, which is the highlight of Cloud 9 products, but is also among its founding
principles and a key component in the company's overall raison d'etre.

The company will be launching the soda product in tin cans of 200, 330 and 500 ml.
The mineral water product will be positioned in the premium segment. The company
will enter the Juice segment with the apple, mango, orange and lemon flavours.

Furthermore, the company will launch a specialised product of Aloe Vera Juice, which
is especially beneficial for women and children. This product will be the first of its
kind in India. The products will be manufactured at the company’s state-of-the art
facility in Nandur, 40 km from Pune (Maharashtra), spread across 27 acres.

Cloud 9 is also positioning itself to launch its products internationally. Soon the
company will launch its product into the South Asian Subcontinent, Europe and the
GCC Countries.

In the future, Cloud 9 plans to surpass all its earlier successes and aim for higher and
bigger goals. The name, Cloud 9, itself gives a prelude to the ambitions of the company
where, ”The Sky is no more the Limit". Cloud 9 aims to consolidate and grow its
Indian presence all the while expanding into the overseas market.

Cloud 9's aim is to use the profits from these ventures to contribute towards
invigorating the economy of our own country, India. Cloud 9 wants Indians to support
and be part of this initiative to energise and empower India’s people, its economy, and
the thereby India as a whole.

Although we do not underestimate the competition that's in the offing going forward,
we have complete faith and belief in our products and our team. We are more than
ready to take on any national or international competitors. We're poised to face all the
challenges at hand and take advantage of all the opportunities that lie ahead.
