on the business and operations of the company (SDGIL) together with the Audited Financial
Statements for the financialyear ended March 31, 2025.
1. CORPORATE OVERVIEW AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Scoobee Day Garments (India] Limited - formerly known as Victory Paper
and Boards (India) Limited - has undergone a remarkable transformation since its
inception. Incorporated on August 9, 1994, as a public limited company under the Companies
Act, 1956, the company originally focused on establishing an environmentally sustainable
paper mill utilizing waste paper and innovative de-inking technology. This eco-conscious
initiative marked its initial foray into industrial operations, with the company receiving
its certificate of commencement of business on December 16, 1994.
A pivotal moment in the company's history occurred in September 2017,
when it was acquired by the promoters of the Anna Group of Companies·Mr. Boby M.
Jacob, Mrs. Minni Boby Jacob, and Anna Aluminium Company Pvt. Ltd. This strategic
acquisition not only shifted the ownership structure but also redefined the company's
operational focus and long-term vision.
As part of its renewed direction under the Anna Group, the company
acquired a garment manufacturing facility in Karur, Tamil Nadu, in December 2018. This
state-of-the-art plant was designed to meet the exacting standards of international and
domestic clients and was equipped with integrated residential facilities for workers,
reflecting a commitment to employee welfare and operational efficiency. This acquisition
marked the company's entry into the textile and garment manufacturing sector, positioning
it as a competitive player in the apparel supply chain.
The Anna Group, with a legacy spanning over 50 years, originally
established itself in the Aluminium industry and has since diversified into multiple
sectors, including food processing, spices, and textiles. The group's diversified
portfolio includes trusted brands such as Kitex, which produces school and travel bags
under the Scoobee Day and Trawellday labels. In the food segment, Sara Spices, founded in
1979, specializes in spice processing and distribution. Additionally, the Group
manufactures a wide range of aluminium-based products, including utensils, extrusions, and
roofing materials, through advanced manufacturing infrastructure.
Following the acquisition of the Karur plant, Scoobee Day Garments
(India) Limited expanded its operations into two core business verticals: garment
manufacturing and roofing solutions. In 2018, the company forayed into the roofing
materials market, producing and distributing aluminium and galvanized iron (GI) sheets,
primarily catering to demand within Kerala. A year later, in 2019, the company began
manufacturing ready-made garments, targeting both the domestic market and global export
clients. In line with its evolved business strategy and diversified product offerings, the
company underwent a rebranding initiative.
Today, Scoobee Day Garments (India] Limited is firmly established as a
specialist in the export of high-quality baby garments, a niche segment that demands
strict compliance with international standards of quality and safety. The company
exclusively uses 100% pure cotton, ensuring its products are soft, breathable, and gentle
on infants' sensitive skin. Advanced technologies in dyeing and printing are employed to
create garments that are non-allergenic, durable, and comfortable, reflecting a strong
commitment to quality assurance and consumer safety.
Driven by a philosophy of long-term partnerships, the company focuses
on building enduring relationships with international buyers. Its competitive edge lies in
its robust infrastructure, technical expertise, and stringent quality control systems,
enabling it to consistently deliver value and reliability in a dynamic global market.
