Founder's Day (22nd September, 2012)
22nd September 2012 marks the thirty-eighth founder's day of SIS, thirty-eight years in which we have gone from an idea to a reality, from a dream to a group of companies. Much has happened in those long years, and many steps have been taken on the path leading to today.

But these steps are not just of one person nor does anyone tread that path alone. The founder believed in walking the course together. Each project, each activity, involves us all, every SIS family member and in each case we come together again and again, to show that we can accomplish anything to which we put our minds.

To give respect and honor to the great visionary, SIS employees, who?are treated as members of the extended family of SIS, celebrate the Founder's Day on 22nd September each year, which is the birthday of the Group Chairman & Managing Director of SIS Group of Companies, Mr. Ravindra Kishore Sinha. On this occasion the employees get together and take an oath to take the organization to greater heights in time to come.

Mr. Ravindra Kishore Sinha, a graduate of Political Science and Law, started his career as a journalist and was a leading investigative?reporter and writer, particularly as a war correspondent during 1971?war. As a first generation entrepreneur, he initiated the security service business by taking up his first security service contract in 1974 when an industrialist at Ramgarh near Ranchi was looking to outsource this work. It was a small contract of 11 guards in Eastern India. Thus, SIS was born!

It was no co-incidence that SIS was the first security service providing?company started by a non-Ex-serviceman and a first generation?entrepreneur professional in an era when venture capital was not even conceptualized! This was the first amongst several visionary and pioneering steps taken by Mr. R. K. Sinha and, even today, remains a unique feature of SIS amidst private security service providers in India.

SIS was the first to register itself as a public limited company in the Indian Security Industry. Another landmark step, which was implemented by Mr. R. K. Sinha, was the company-wide implementation of management systems conforming to the international standard ISO 9001. SIS today is certified to ISO?9001:2008 standards for design, development and delivery of its?security services and was the first security company to reach this landmark.

Over the year, with the addition of different services, SIS positioned itself as a "Total security solution and a business support service provider". This was possible through the creation of independent non-guarding business and companies like SIS Cash Services India Private Limited, Terminix SIS India Private Limited, Service Master Clean India Limited, Tech SIS, and many more.
