Forward Looking Statement
This Site may contain “forward-looking statements.” Although Tata Communications believes any such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that actual outcomes will not be materially different. Tata Communications assumes no obligation to update those statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions and other factors. The forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

These documents contain and identify important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward-looking statements including, among others, substantial capital requirements; development of effective internal processes and systems; the ability to attract and retain high quality employees; changes in the overall economy; technology; the number and size of competitors in its markets; law and regulatory policy; and the mix of products and services offered in the company’s target markets.
Although every effort is made to ensure such projections and other forward-looking statements are accurate at the time they are made available, such information is provided for informational purposes and is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. Tata Communications makes no representations and disclaims all express, implied, and statutory warranties of any kind to any user and/or any third party including warranties as to accuracy, timeliness, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for any particular purpose.
