Sherry Singh: “I request to be judged by my actions and results”

In an exclusive interview to Business Magazine this week, Sherry Singh, the new CEO of Mauritius Telecom, talks about his vision for the company. He says MT is at a turning point of its history and that government  trusts him to lead the organization to new heights.

 

One of his first actions will be to look at MT's profits, which have decreased significantly, from Rs 1.8 billion to Rs 990 million, despite an increase in its turnover ranging from Rs 8 billion to Rs 9 billion in 2014. Speeking about the market, he points out that it has evolved greatly from one computer using an ADSL line in a home to  the availability of multi devices connected permanently to the network: laptop, tablet, mobile phones and even smart TVs. With the growing number of devices, the demand follows the same pattern and the copper infrastructure is definitely not the ideal technology to provide for high speed internet; thus for easier access  a fiber optic network has been installed  to cover the island.

 

With regard to the smart cities project, connectivity is obviously the key for progress. MT will thus have to bring the latest technology regarding connectivity to these cities. “We are going to be very aggressive in terms of investment over the next three years, he warns, so that we may prepare the company for the future. If we miss the wave, we could take a significant back step”.
