MUMBAI: Pritish Nandy Communications Ltd (PNC) has been awarded the ISO 9001:2000 certificate. PNC is the first entertainment company in India to be ISO compliant in the entertainment and movie space.

According to the announcement posted on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), the company has been awarded the certification by SGS United Kingdom Ltd.

PNC chief operating officer Siddharth Das spoke to indiatelevision.com about the achievement, "It is an assurance to the entertainment industry across the globe that it is dealing with a certified company. This award is an assertion on the quality and the degree of professionalism that is offered in a not so organised industry."

"We are expected and recognised to be different as our forte is the upmarket multiplex society," adds Das.

Earlier this year, PNC received the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Award in Hong Kong for being ranked 108th among the 250 fastest growing companies in the Technology, Media and Telecom sector in the Asia Pacific region. The company has also won the Golden Peacock Award in Bangalore for creating the most innovative product in the entertainment business - the multiplex movie, according to a company release.
