Appointment of Managing Director India

CyanConnode, the world leader in narrowband radio mesh networks, announces the appointment of Anil Daulani as Managing Director India, with responsibility for managing the India operation including sales, customer delivery, technical pre-sales and support.

Anil joins CyanConnode from Tech Mahindra1, where he held the position of Global Head & Vice President Utilities for the last five years. Prior to joining Tech Mahindra, Anil led the Indian utilities business initiatives for HCL Infosystems2 for seven years. Anil is a highly experienced executive with knowledge of both the energy sector and IT solutions and has established strategic relationships with CEO/CXO officers at both public and private utilities, resulting in over US$300 million contract wins.

The CyanConnode pipeline of commercial opportunities in India has grown significantly to US$84 million. Anil will be responsible for both the conversion of these opportunities into contracts as well as their successful delivery, which will result in substantive growth in both revenues and customer payments.

In his role at Tech Mahindra, Anil handled large, complex system integration led project bids, resulting in multi-million dollar contract wins. Working with multiple utilities as an executive sponsor, Anil provided commercial, technical and operational improvements in project implementation. In addition to his project implementation, Anil developed The Utilities Centre of Excellence Team at Tech Mahindra, which provides industry knowledge in digital utilities, smart grids, utility operations, metering, billing and CRM. He has been instrumental in creating SAP and Oracle competences for utilities and is a regular speaker at utility conferences both within and outside India.

Anil joined CyanConnode this week and will be based out of the Delhi office, managing the local team across India, and will be appointed as a Director of CyanConnode Pvt Limited in India.

John Cronin, CyanConnode Executive Chairman, commented: "In recent months, we have seen a significant increase in both the number and size of the smart metering opportunities in India, with several tenders now active for hundreds of thousands of units. CyanConnode has established a leadership position in this key market and we are confident that the skills, experience and connections that Anil brings will result in significant revenue growth."

Anil Daulani commented: "I am delighted to be joining as the projects to rollout smart metering in India are now targeting critical mass. CyanConnode has already won the majority of the projects and is very well positioned to maintain this leadership position as India evolves into the largest global smart metering market over the next several years."

Shavian,

I think that William Johns-Powell may have invested in the region of £1.5m to 2m for his 1 billion+ shares. Adding another 328m could partially explain the share price remaining depressed and a lot of buying over the last few weeks. MMs would have been "hunting the stop losses" and marching the share price down. Now that he may have had his fill for now, we may see some signs of a more realistic share price.

On the company website, the Powell business has been going a while - so it is probably an understatement that he knows what and where to invest in. I have asked a local contact to check out his Golf Club - just to get a feel for his approach to business (and investment by extrapolation).

The Indian contract season seems to have started...let's see how many we convert....but it will all be worthwhile.

I have topped up, but may add some more (but not on the Powells scale !)

Good luck all :)

Not me I am afraid RogerRail ! I'm still only in 9 digits and I stay under the radar in the companies I invest - usually not notifiable holdings :)

MB

not you then?

[lwaxf13] 06/9/2017 14:40

Seriously good luck to him. Some balls for someone on the outside putting that much money into this never ending money pitt.

[shavian] 06/9/2017 07:37

His purchase may indicate some veracity in your post re Tata and LG, MB.

In which case it may be top-up time for the rest of us as well. It must be amusing to own a billion shares in any company, even CyanCommode :0)

[multibagger] 06/9/2017 07:10

With an estimated 100 - 400 billion stars in our galaxy then throw in all the current and any future very well deserved low bar option awards, plus the buy one get an option free we might have to move to a bigger galaxy ;-)

Has anyone tracked down where the revenue from Connode went, or found any explanation for its much reduced contribution in the first half ? Only good money was paid for it, presumably on the basis of its previous revenue.

[dreamtwister] 05/9/2017 11:42

a lot of helium on the moon and a lot of carbon on the surface of mars, so twinkle twinkle little star,how many lightyears away will cyan become a star ! because the lights are very dim in the cambrigde not-spot.

[stav5001] 05/9/2017 00:25

i think a Global company like Cyan should have a share issued for every Star in the known Galaxy, and under the lacklustre stewardship of our amazing team we are well on our way.

Thank you Iwax, indomitable, entertaining and a constant reality check that we all need.

The Tata Power Delhi and L+G contract is a real biggie - we could be involved as L+G are part of our ecosystem of partners....so will have to wait if a RNS does make its way over the next few days....interesting times :)

Courtesy of and thanks to Vascular on the other thread....

Thanks Vas for sharing.....would definitely merit a RNS if we are involved...here's hoping :)

Excerpt from the Daily Pioneer dated 05 Sep 2017 regarding the project....

hxxp://www.dailypioneer.com/city/tata-power-ddl-rolls-out-25-lakh-smart-meters-in-first-phase.html

“The first phase will include putting up of 50,000 three phase meters and two lakh single phase meters and second phase will have five lakh SPM and 50,000 three phase meters due to get started from April 2019. The total replacement and completion of 18 lakh smart meters will be done by 2025,” the official said.

Gentlemen, if indeed that is what you are, thank you for your opinions, explanations and advice. There seems to be a lot passion here!

[dreamtwister] 01/9/2017 12:00

davep4 multiblagger has his own thread for you to lias with,but be forewarned a ramper is not to be trusted as they are very devious,when the share price is tanking they are ramping by averageing down to hype the members to follow suit,to stabalise the share price,while you are buying the ramper is selling and you are left holding the baby.

whilst on this thread you will receive the truth and debaitable posts to prevent you falling for the perils of the rampers.

for example multiblagger has had me & others on filter,but still glee valuable infomation,then tells you to use the filter.....says it all !

i do believe in the cyancannode technology and one day rodney one day they will be world class leaders,but sadly they have shafted shareholders, with continious dilution with 17bln shares in issue shorting the share price to present levels whilst granting them self`s options,they have done placeing`s at below market valuation to the selected few, yet again another short.
so after 9 years of this propagander and the present share price,this oil painting will not be hanging in the lou`ve.

i wish all investors a good return on their investments,but every picture tells a different story,and this one is not preety.

[lwaxf13] 01/9/2017 10:17

I agree the filter button is helpful especially for burying ones head in the sand to drown out reality. There is always the hope that when one takes ones head out of the sand that a company really is a world leading company with world leading customers, world leading sales and world leading share price. However, after taking ones head out of the sand and blinking in the reality that the company is a self proclaimed world leader with a pitiful share price one can always bury ones head again and repeat this exercise until one day the company has gone to failed company heaven from whence companies do not return or the company has transformed itself to success. The odds are IMO stacked against the latter given the years of flip flopping and failure to deliver.

[multibagger] 01/9/2017 07:43

davep4....I have found the filter button to be quite helpful on this and many other threads :)

[dreamtwister] 31/8/2017 23:23

the norm with consolidation the company will buy when the shares fall,then grant them selfs options if the share price recovers then they exercise their options & the share price goes into regression & the pi catches a falling knife & as the song goes "the first cut is the deepest" the for sale boards go up ! at this point are you tradeing at a loss or breaking even ?

[lwaxf13] 31/8/2017 22:48

We all know what happens to failing penny stock (I wish it was a penny) AIM companies with share prices close to worthless when they consolidate the shares so that things look successful. Yip a new height for them to fall again as they revert to the norm. I could stomach this company a lot easier if average Joe shareholders were granted matching share options for every share they bought and if the team actually delivered something of value for shareholders. Shareholders are here for the money only so nothing else matters to me no matter how pretty it is on a PowerPoint.

[dreamtwister] 31/8/2017 21:38

a investor "timbo" asked questions at a investors presentation seminar,

At the stand I discussed a few items with SS




Q: Have Cyan got enough cash to get to break even

A: no comment

Q: Is there still headroom for more EIS money
A: yes

Q: When will you do a shares consolidation?

A: Not everyone wants one, the broker is not that keen. We did say we would do it at some time in the merger document, so it will happen.

the merger has happened so consolidation will happen,off course the broker is not keen on consolidation because the volume of share trades will dehydrate & they wont earn as much commission ! consolidation will shaft the long term holders whom valued the company at a higher price ,unless they have averaged down,so consolidation may be ok for some and not others.consolidation will lift the share price but mm manouvers will drop it, and with the bod track record will dilute the share price further
