Through awidening of its global footprint, Symphony is also reducing its dependence onseasonality. When it is winter in India, it is summer in a number of othercountries, marked by a potentially robust demand for air cooling solutions. Forinstance, in the US, summer extends from May to August; in the UK, from Aprilto October; in the Middle East, from April to October; in Southern Hemispherei.e. in South Africa, from October to February; in Australia, from December toFebruary. By focusing on sales across the world, Symphony has successfullytransformed what would have been a business disadvantage into a potentialopportunity. As a result, export volumes have increased from 4,667 coolers in2003-04 to 1,27,159 coolers in 2010-11.
A ir coolers areenvironment-friendly. Unlike air conditioners, which release CFC gas, aircoolers do not emit hazardous greenhouse gases responsible for global warmingand other environment-related problems. Besides, air coolers consume only about5-10% electricity compared to air conditioners. Unlike air conditioners, which circulatestale air, air coolers draw, filter and deliver fresh air.
