impetus and renewed focus on improving IP driven service

capabilities in India.

• Indian software product companies revenues are expected

to account for 21 per cent of total software product revenues

in FY2009, up from 20.6 per cent in FY2008. The market is

expected to grow exponentially driven by an increasing

number of start-up software product businesses as well as

a rapid growth of existing businesses.

Page 24: JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIAN IT INDUSTRY

BPO MARKET

• BPO services exports, up 18 per cent, was the fastest growing segment across software and services exports driven by scale as well as scope. BPO service portfolio was strengthened by vertical specialization and global delivery capabilities.

• Emergence of domestic BPO is the key highlight for FY2009 recording a growth of above 40 per cent in INR terms. The growth is led by the BFSI, Telecom and Airline industries and a greater vendor focus with specific service offering

• Horizontal BPO, accounting for more than 80 per cent of Indian BPO exports, represents the larger and relatively more established set of services being delivered from India

• Other aspects of Indian BPO, besides the growing breadth and depth of the service portfolio, that reflect its increasing maturity include the increasing global delivery footprint and continuous emphasis on enhancing service delivery efficiency and productivity.

Page 25: JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIAN IT INDUSTRY

HARDWARE MARKET

While hardware exports remained steady, domestic hardware segment remains the largest segment to grow at 17 per cent in INR terms during FY 2009.

• PC adoption is growing at more than 30 per cent incase of SMBs

Page 26: JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN INDIAN IT INDUSTRY

INDIAN’S IT-BPO VALUE PROPOSITION

• Strong fundamentals, a robust enabling environment, and enhanced value delivery capability are the hallmarks of the Indian IT-BPO industry.

• India enjoys a cost advantage of around 60-70 per cent as compared to source markets. Additional productivity improvements and the development of tier 2/3 cities as future delivery centres, is expected to enhance India’s cost competitiveness.

The Government’s focus on education has helped create the large talent base from where the industry draws its workforce. The Government’s proactive approach towards the IT-BPO industry was further highlighted in 2008 through actions such as the IT Act Amendment, extension of tax incentives by a year, removal of the SEZ Act anomalies and the introduction of progressive telecom policies that focus on work from home.

• Indian companies are now trying to adopt a culture that encourages innovation, embrace new trends such as Green IT, and deliver solutions that are focused on re-engineering and transformation. India is emerging as a leading Innovation hub with increasing number of patents being filed and granted from India

• The silver lining of the economic downturn is the opportunity for the industry to enhance its overall efficiency. Companies are increasingly looking inwards and focusing on process benchmarking, enhanced utilization of infrastructure and talent, increasing productivity and greater customer engagement.

FUTURE OUTLOOK• Despite the unprecedented economic downturn the industry will witness

sustainable growth• The global technology related spending is expected to grow from 2010

onwards led by growth in outsourcing adoption.• Greater focus on cost and operational efficiencies in the recessionary

environment is expected to enhance global sourcing• India Inc would remain focused on tactical measures to achieve cost savings

and greater productivity• Services and software segments are estimated to cross USD 1.2 trillion by

2012. This is more than the 5.2 per cent growth expected in the total IT spending

• The huge potential for global sourcing is further highlighted by an addressable market size of USD 500 billion in 2008, which is more than five times bigger than the current market

• The industry will continue to diversify in terms of geographies, verticals and service lines

• SMBs are expected to emerge as a significant opportunity due to lower IT adoption currently

• Lack of working age population in the developed economies and a significant long term cost arbitrage indicates India’s sustained cost competitiveness 

• Service providers are expected to enhance focus to domestic market to de-risk business and tap into the local growth opportunities
