Bahuguna was in the city to showcase their latest product Telepresence -- full HD video-conferencing services available to corporates and government departments on a rental basis.
On the services, RailTel director A Seshagiri Rao said: "We are targeting Rs 50 crore fees in the first year itself from Telepresence services." Bahuguna said enterprise business, projects and retail broadband would be the future growth drivers for the company.
On company's main revenue contributers Bahuguna said, about 25 per cent of its revenue comes from enterprise connectivity fees from telecom companies, another 25 per cent from government including educational institutes, 15 per cent from cable multi-system operators (MSOs).
Indian railways share, however, is just 10 per cent, while project execution business is also gaining momentum, he said.
