the new government took charge and unveiled its plans for investment and growth, NASSCOM and the industry also aligned themselves with these national goals. the results have been positive. the industry performed well during the year and is expected to grow by 13 per cent in constant currency.
recognising the need for change in the dynamic industry landscape, NASSCOM initiated the repositioning of the It-BpM industry from a cost arbitrage player to a strategic transformational partner. NASSCOM worked closely with leading global consulting firms to showcase how the sector was playing the role of a game changer for customers and helping them transform their businesses.
NASSCOM also strengthened the Sectoral Councils it had set up in 2013, laying out the structure for governance and the targets to be achieved in 2015.
the focus during the year was on expanding membership by reaching out to more and more It-BpM organisations, especially start-ups and emerging organisations across tier 1, 2 and 3 cities and townships of the country.
In the area of global trade, NASSCOM continued to engage with international governments, attempting to resolve long-standing issues related to visas, mobility of skilled manpower and other industry concerns. NASSCOM’s thrust on Japan and China during the year, will help the It-BpM industry
gain traction in these hitherto elusive markets.
On the skills development front too, NASSCOM kept the momentum going, launching occupational standards and focusing on Qp adoption through its It-IteS Sector Skills Council.
the chamber’s flagship initiative for smaller firms — the 10,000 start-ups programme — shifted gears and entered its next phase with the setting up of warehouses in Bengaluru and Kolkata along with new programs for mentorship and industry connect.
Overall, NASSCOM focused on creating an enabling, ‘easy-to-do-business in environment’ for the It-BpM industry and on addressing the pain points of member and non-member organisations.
Going forward, NASSCOM will continue to look at the horizon, understand the digital transformation sweeping the world and outline the role that the Indian It-BpM industry can play in this emerging realm.
NASSCOM is already working with McKinsey to provide a fresh perspective on its 2020 vision. this will be a detailed research that we expect to release during 2015.
We would like to thank all our member organisations for continuing to work with NASSCOM and supporting the organisation in all its endeavors.
Message froM the chairManthe last 11 months have been significant, with several new developments defining India and shaping NASSCOM’s agenda.
R. ChANDRASEkARANChairman, NASSCOM
Dear friends,
It is my pleasure to Chair NASSCOM in its 25th year and be a part of the association’s historic journey. What began as a small office in New Delhi, is now a phenomenal institution that has been nurtured by its Founders, executive Council members and past Chairmen.
the year 2014-15, therefore, was dedicated to celebrating 25 years of NASSCOM. We did this by rolling out events across India where we thanked all our stakeholders and partners who have contributed to the success of NASSCOM and the It-BpM industry.
the last 11 months have been significant, with several new developments defining India and shaping NASSCOM’s agenda. As

with Nathealth for the healthcare segment and the government on the It architecture for its Smart Cities, GStN and other projects. In all these instances, NASSCOM orchestrated the importance of technology as a problem solver and driver of productivity in organisations. During the year, NASSCOM also held discussions with the government on the need to address current constraints in eGovernance procurement.
In an effort to support the Digital India initiative launched by the government in 2014, NASSCOM began work with the policy makers on a framework that will serve as a reference point for the initiative. NASSCOM Foundation launched its joint work with the industry on the National Digital literacy Mission.
In the last year, NASSCOM continued to introduce skills development programmes that were aimed at building a pipeline of middle management in the It-BpM sector. It hosted training for middle managers, marketing professionals, GIC leaders and techies in an attempt to achieve this goal.
As part of its Diversity and Inclusion focus, NASSCOM continued to promote best practices within this domain, through awareness programmes on prevention of Sexual Harassment, Women in leadership, Girls in technology, and its Diversity Awards.
the year saw NASSCOM engage with the central and state governments to solve problems related to paucity of
public transportation, particularly in silicon hubs such as Gurgaon.
NASSCOM increased its participation in discussions on global policy issues, helping shape government opinion through the public policy group of WItSA, where it was elected as Chair.
Japan was the region of focus for NASSCOM in 2013-15. the association led a delegation to the island nation to meet up with key stakeholders. In the months ahead, NASSCOM will work with the Japan GIC Council and the government to deepen this engagement.
It was additionally a year of innovation for the It-BpM industry and NASSCOM continued to spearhead this effort through the programmes launched by its product Council. through the year, Indian start-ups displayed their innovative product through special platforms, conclaves and showcases hosted by NASSCOM.
During 2014-15, NASSCOM helped members remain abreast of technological and business trends by publishing more than 30 in-depth research reports on these subjects.
We are glad to share that NASSCOM’s Noida campus is taking shape and will become operational next year. NASSCOM will continue to expand its team and build its base of domain specialists over the next 12 months.
I hope you will remain an active participant in the numerous initiatives NASSCOM is planning during 2015 and continue to lend support to our strategic and ambitious plans.
2014-15 has been an exciting time to be a part of NASSCOM. It has been a period of great learning, new initiatives and one where we have scaled existing programmes.
NASSCOM sought the feedback of its members on its performance through a detailed and thorough Member Satisfaction Survey. We thank our member organisations for rating us as the best industry association and providing us with valuable feedback and suggestions that will be incorporated into our planning for 2015-16.
the year was significant from the point of view of the Indian It domestic market as well, which remained on NASSCOM’s radar. to achieve our goals for this market and enhance awareness about It and its criticality to key industry verticals, NASSCOM forged important partnerships

governMent Policy issuesNASSCOM continues to be in forefront, highlighting concerns and working with both, the industry and the government towards a better environment. Industry inputs and support in this process has been critical. We are working with both the union and state governments of India to create a policy and regulatory climate conducive to the growth of the It-BpM industry in the country.
It is indeed heartening that the suggestions related to leveraging ICt for growth, easing regulatory and compliance burden for businesses in general and for start-ups and small organisations in particular, are today the centre piece of various government initiatives.

and a commitment to leverage technology, in particular ICt, for realising development goals, offer significant opportunities for the Industry. NASSCOM is deeply involved in the Digital India and skilling India consultations, making suggestions and offering a platform for the Industry to showcase the transformative impact, global capabilities as well as concerns related to business conditions to the Government of India.
Several announcements and clarifications related to existing policies have been made in the last one year, taking into account the issues raised and associated recommendations made by NASSCOM. the highlights of our key engagements with the government and their outcome are as follows:
I. Budget Recommendations
the pre-budget discussions and recommendations made to the government have been targeted to enable the It industry to map a sustained growth plan, and suggest how best global competencies of the ICt sector can be leveraged for growth and development goals.
the success of the flagship initiatives of the government – Digital India and Make in India offers tremendous opportunities for the innovation driven technology industry, and the success also hinges on the sustainability and continued growth of the technology driven sector. Hence, factors that can potentially restrict growth and innovation and necessary aspects to promote a growth oriented business environment for existing players, innovation driven start-ups and SMes were shared. Further suggestions were made to encourage adoption and migration to digital economy, thereby helping government leverage the inherent transparency and traceability of online transactions.
Some of the salient recommendations by NASSCOM are:
Addressing regulatory and tax •
pOpS rules, revisit amendments made in CeNVAt rules, restore lower tDS rates on fees for technical services and clarify transfer pricing related issues some of which were addressed in the last budget but details are awaited
prevailing conditions and »prerequisites for participating in government programmes are onerous. Further, SMes face stiff barriers in the eligibility criteria. there is a need to revisit and refine the procurement process for government projects
Several long pending issues that •require clarifications to minimise disputes were also raised and it was agreed that the industry will leverage the recently constituted High level Committee for the purpose of a resolution
II. Developments related to Transfer Pricing
the union Budget in May 2014 announced significant changes in the transfer pricing regulations, incorporating suggestions to ensure certainty and predictability like roll-back of ApA and introduction of globally aligned statistical methods like Interquartile range method to compute Arms’ length pricing. NASSCOM has been working on transfer pricing issues for some time, and we welcome the announcement and await the detailed guidelines.
III. SEzs – operations and revival plans
the union Budget in May 2014, in response to several representations both at the Centre and State, clarified administrative procedure for SeZ refunds, allowing for upfront exemptions. NASSCOM has also submitted feedback on operational issues and need to address them at the earliest, and also made suggestions for changes in the SeZ Act for incorporation in the SeZ revival plans. One of the key suggestions made was to allow

services to access domestic market, at par with access offered to sale of goods to DtA.
IV. Intellectual Property Rights
NASSCOM is working with DeitY, Intellectual property Owners (IpO), Ministry of Human resource Development (MHrD) and Department of Industrial policy and promotion (DIpp) on Ipr related issues relevant to the sector. We will work with DeitY to implement and help in outreach of the patent facilitation programme (e-SIp-II).
NASSCOM represented the Indian It-BpM industry in the Indo-european conference on ICt-related patents, held at the european patent Office (epO) headquarters in Munich on 7 November 2014, as a part of the joint work programme between DeitY and epO.
NASSCOM is a member of the Copyright enforcement Advisory Committee set up by MHrD, that examines issues related to enforcement and how can it be improved across the country in consultation with the enforcement agencies.
V. Digital Economy and Policy Implications
to encourage growth of eCommerce, taxation on digital transactions should be in the least, at par with the physical world, if not reduced to facilitate adoption and migration to technology enabled platforms.
a. Online payments
Continuing our efforts in streamlining the online payment environment to ensure that recurring payments for subscription to internet enabled based products and services are possible in a manner that is acceptable and the norm around the world, we have made representations to the rBI on the issue. the rBI has acknowledged the issue and we await a simplified single authentication, which will allow easy recurring payments with adequate safeguards.
b. Regulations for Cloud Communication Service Providers and issues related to eCommerce
As cloud enabled services grow in India, NASSCOM has been interacting with the government on how regulations should be adapted, modified or clarified to prevent operational hassles.
In continuation of this, a guidance paper was made available to Cloud Communication Service providers, highlighting essential contract terms to ensure compliance with telecom regulatory Authority of India (trAI) regulations. the contents were prepared in discussion with the regulators taking care of their concerns and also drawing from best practices from other sectors. the Industry has been referring to it, as they draft client contracts.

During 2014, NASSCOM adopted twin pronged approach to focus on developed and emerging markets, safeguarding and promoting interests of the Indian It-BpM industry in these regions, exploring new opportunities, addressing policy challenges and attempting to reduce the impact of the protectionist measures.
to achieve the above, NASSCOM worked extensively across various markets on policy issues especially related with mobility of skilled resources and visa challenges in developed markets and working on removing hurdles that industry faces in the emerging markets. endeavour was to leverage the Government of India’s (GOI’s) bilateral and multi-lateral engagements, forums and dialogues to make headway in these regions and alter any negative perceptions that exist about India and the Indian It industry.
At the same time, NASSCOM flagged off joint research projects with leading international institutes, universities and think tanks on various issues. It invited to India key influencers and policy makers and helped shape media opinion on the topics of relevance for the sector.
