Nearly
14 years ago we had a humble beginning by publishing our directory
"Thamilar mathiyil" - world's first business directory for Tamils
with only 72 pages. The 14 th Edition now in your hands consists
of 1200 pages. As publishers we feel proud of the growth of the
directory thanks to the numerous advertisers and well wishers who
have immensely helped us in the laborious task
Our
publication, which had served as a bridge between the Tamil business
community and the end users, is the first and largest of its kind
in the world.The directory contains both advertisements of businesses
which serve the Tamil community and also valuable community oriented
information to the public. It now serves not only the interest of
the Tamil community in Canada, but also the tamil diaspora spread
all over the world.
When
our advertisers and end users of the directory complement us on
the highest quality maintained, the 99% error free content and the
excellent graphic designs displayed, we feel proud of our achievement
over the years. It is for the these reasons that
"Thamilar mathiyil" is the first choice of the advertisers when
it comes to marketing their products and services to the Tamil community.
Year
2004 will be a historic milestone for us when the 15 th edition
of "Thamilar mathiyil" will be released. We make a special appeal
to all members of our Tamil business community in Canada and world
wide to join in this edition by placing their advertisements in
order that this special bumper issue will become a fully-fledged
business directory representing the entire Tamil business community
all over the world.
Finally
we welcome the peace initiatives in our mother country Sri Lanka
and wish that when year 2003 dawns the peace process will become
a permanent reality for the betterment of our brethren in Sri Lanka.
This would no doubt create a good economic climate where better
business relationships can be forged by Sri Lankan business houses
through the medium of our directory.
