As we embark on this journey together, we begin in the midst of one of the most challenging times the world has ever faced, driven by the coronavirus pandemic. This has presented all of us with a multitude of challenges, on both professional and personal levels. I know it has deeply affected us all. Please know that my number one priority as a CEO of the company is you and your good health and well-beings.
In addition, you should also know that I, along with the rest of the leadership team, am focused on where we take SHARMA ORTHOPEDIC from here. We see a path through this pandemic, and it’ll come in phases. First, the initial impact phase that we’ve all been living through over the last few months and years. Second, a recovery phase, where we begin to return to more normal operations by SHARMA ORTHOPEDIC and our channel partner, and where we begin to actively re-engage in our communities and with our friends. And finally, a “new normal” has been emerged. Throughout, we have supported our channel partners in entirely new ways. This will return SHARMA ORTHOPEDIC to strong growth and further our better leadership position.
The results of these efforts have been so profound ― we've saved thousands of lives and we've elevated our stature and respect with orthopedic surgeons and hospitals all around the world.
So, as we move forward, I’ll be asking you to bring that same passion and speed to our work every day. And, I’m challenging myself and our leadership to enable this. We live in a fast-changing, connected, and competitive world. Our channel partners and our competitors are fully aware of our history and past success, but tradition alone is not enough to sustain us. We are not entitled to market leadership ― we must earn it every day.
Let me close by thanking you. I wish you and your families good health, and I look forward to successfully win the majority of the orthopedic market share all over the world.
Sincerely,
VIVEK SHARMA
CEO.
