As I had no access to information of its investments, I could not focus on it. I depended largely on exploratory method in my approach because this report is first of its kind and there is very little information on Tiger IT in public. To understand the company, I have looked at all the products and services of the company and included in this report. To understand the business activities of the company, I have emphasized on activities of human resource department, and accounts and finance department. But I have stressed most on operational activities. To do this I have enumerated the human resources of the company, the ways in which the company get projects, and its noteworthy projects. Lastly, I have discussed my finds, critical observations, and recommendations. A country is as successful as the sum of the performances of its enterprises.
