Industry Overview

Over the past few years, the Indian information technology (IT) and IT enabled Services

(ITeS) industry has been on a steady growth trajectory. The IT industry, alone, has

played a pivotal role in placing India on the world map as a major knowledge-based

economy and outsourcing hub. The major sub-segment, that entails Business Process

Outsourcing (BPO), is re-inventing itself and experiencing a paradigm shift from being

a volume-oriented proposition to a value-oriented proposition by expanding its scope

of services and providing substantial high-end solutions in the areas of Data Analytics,

Legal Process Outsourcing, etc.

The number of internet users in India crossed the 100-million mark in September

2011, growing 13 per cent over last year's figure of 87 million, according to the latest

report of the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) co-prepared with

research firm IMRB. The study anticipates India's internet population to grow to 121

million by December 2011. Further, the country's broadband subscriber base stood at

Page 20: Result Update: Q3 FY12 -   - Personal finance India for

20

12.69 million in August 2011, according to data released by the Telecom Regulatory

Authority of India (TRAI).

Competitive Landscape

After personal computers (PCs) and laptops, tablets are mushrooming as a major

competitive avenue wherein vendors are striving hard to launch more affordable

devices for the Indian market. Second quarter of 2011experienced the release of the

iPad2 in India in less than 50 days after its US launch while Samsung is scouting for

40 per cent share of the Indian tablet market in 2011.

In the enterprise software segment, US giant Oracle claims to cater around 7,000

clients across the Indian government and private sectors; recent wins being Punjab

National Bank (PNB) - India's second-largest public sector bank and Hindustan

Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) - another Indian public sector organ. Meanwhile, Indian

IT companies like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, HCL and Mahindra Satyam are developing their

technologies to entail cloud computing applications and solutions for various

segments ranging from financial services and banking to manufacturing.

IT & ITeS - Key Developments and Investments

Between April 2000 and August 2011, the computer software and hardware sector

received cumulative foreign direct investment (FDI) of US$ 10,787 million, according to

the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

• Monster India has launched an online campus hiring initiative - 'Monster

College' – wherein it will collaborate with educational institutions across India

and connect them with over 20,000 employers for campus placements.

• Investor Relations Global Rankings (IRGR), a New York-based organisation, has

ranked Technology giant Infosys as the country's best company for corporate

governance practices, financial disclosure procedures, IR website and online

annual report. There were more than 80 companies that registered themselves

for the rankings.

• Tower infrastructure company Indus Tower is looking for a partner to provide

end-to-end IT solutions and Indian tech-biggies like Infosys, IBM and Wipro are

Page 21: Result Update: Q3 FY12 -   - Personal finance India for

21

in discussions with the former for the same. The contract, potentially in the

range of Rs 2,430-2,916 crore (US$ 500-US$ 600 million), would involve areas

such as infrastructure management, application development and other related

managed services and would span for 8-10 years. Indus Tower, a joint venture

firm between Bharti Group, Idea Cellular and Vodafone Essar, owns 110,000

towers and operates 16 out of the 22 telecom circles.

• Google, with its partner web hosting firm HostGator, has announced that it will

offer free web domain names to small and medium businesses (SMBs) in India

in order to boost internet usage in Asia's third largest economy. The company

will maintain the websites for a year without any charges and at the end of the

first year, users will be asked to pay a nominal fee if they wish to renew their

domain name. India is shelter to around 8 million SMBs of which about

400,000 have a website and 100,000 have active online presence, said Google.

Hence, the market poses a great potential for growth.

Cloud Computing – The Emerging Technology

The model of cloud computing has attracted attention of organizations of all sizes as

the technology offers lower operational costs, scalability and mobility at every level.

Indian companies are increasingly adopting 'hybrid cloud' (a mix of private and public

cloud) to address their concerns of data privacy as well.

Indian businesses and government agencies are expected to create huge demand for

guidance in the usage of cloud computing services. There are already more than 50

cloud computing service providers in the Indian market. Meanwhile, Indian internet

services providers (ISPs) and data centre service providers including Bharti Airtel, Sify,

Trimax, and NetMagic are investing applications and bandwidth to support new cloud

service offerings.

NTT Communications Corp plans to invest US$ 1.58 billion in Europe and India over

2011-15 to develop its cloud computing business at a faster pace while AWS, the

world's largest cloud-based service provider, that forms about 2 percent of Amazon's

revenues, is projected to become the online retail giant's next most-profitable business

in India.

The US$ 10 billion Indian e-commerce market is expanding exponentially (it grew 47

per cent in 2011 to reach the present size) as rising internet penetration is making

customers buy more and more stuff online. Investors are also betting high in the

industry; they poured around US$ 200 million into Indian e-commerce start-ups in

last couple of years.

As a result of such growth, e-retailers, who want to focus on their core functionalities,

are expected to outsource bulky back-end operations (such as customer care, order

processing, invoice processing, finance and accounts et al) and emerge as a

substantial source of revenue to BPOs.

Retail brands are expected to bring a great transformation in online space. Women's

apparel retail brand Biba and tyre brand Bridgestone have become available online

recently. IAMAI expects online advertising to increase by 30-40 per cent in 2011-12 on

back of increased internet usage by retailers.
