But looking back at the journey, I would like to thank your team for being an integral part of the journey. Your team came in at a point when we had nothing literally, and it has been a great journey since then. During this journey, your team gained our confidence, and I could reach out to you for help and support anytime. Thank you so much for your trust and sincerity.”
