The upswing that was witnessed in IT spends in the last year by companies in India increased during this year. The Indian domestic IT Industry is estimated to have recorded growth of over 25 percent during 2005-06, touching US$ 6.1 billion in revenues.

India is regarded as the preferred destination for offshore outsourcing today. The exports of IT and IT enabled services is estimated to have grown at a very impressive 32% in 2005-06, as per NASSCOM.

Corporate Network Services accounted for 54% of total revenue, with 25% growth over the previous year. During the course of the year, Sify won multiple clients for its MPLS VPN services and continues to enjoy a dominant position in this space.

During the year, they had major gains in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, Insurance) segment, in addition to the rapidly growing IT Enabled services, manufacturing and retail sectors, for corporate services. Sify’s leadership was recognized by Gartner, which put Sify on top of the table in its report in February 2006 on “comparison of IP VPN Service Providers in India”. Sify also received the Frost & Sullivan Market leadership award for IP VPN services for the second consecutive year.

The company further consolidated its position as a leading PKI & Digital certificate solutions provider in the country through the services offered under the Safescrypt brand. The Ministry of Company Affairs has mandated e-filing of all statutory returns and digital certification for all signatories. This promises a large growth opportunity for the sector.

Access Media

Sify’s Access Media revenues grew by 29% over last year. This division now contributes 39% of the company’s revenue.

Cyber cafés: Adding additional services at Sify’s iways has strengthened Sify’s leadership position in the Public Internet Access business, as well as introducing new revenue streams, which contributed to their growth. In addition to browsing and Internet telephony, a large number of these cafes are enabled for gaming and e-commerce. The network has grown from 2,471 cafes last year to 3,307 this year, with more than 1.15 million unique users per quarter. The service was also expanded to over 150 cities and towns.

There are now more than 80 customers signed up with Sify and benefiting from the compelling cost advantages of Sify’s service.

Games: Over one-third of Sify’s cafes are enabled for playing games. The number of hours of games played online at iways grew by over 100% during the previous year. The number of PCs enabled for online games doubled to 6,000 during this period.

Portals

Portals revenues grew by approximately 74% driven by strong advertisement and sponsorship revenues as well as new initiatives in e-commerce.

To address the need for suitable interactive content for broadband users, they launched Sifymax.in, a complete broadband content site, last year. This portal has been enhanced with new content categories and is shaping the expectations of India’s growing base of broadband users with compelling multi-media content.

Sify Max provides live streaming and on-demand video and audio content in multiple categories, including films and music, general entertainment, lifestyle, TV reality shows, pod casts, video blogs, business, sports and national news. Sify Max also streams video content live (24 X 7) from TV channels like CNN-IBN & CNBC and hosts 15 radio stations offering Bollywood hits, latest chart-busters, Indipop and international.

The all-new Sify.com features SifyMail Service with unlimited mailbox capacity.

Enhanced features on Sify.com include easier navigation, a contemporary layout, vantage positions for advertisers to ensure that their brands are noticed without being disruptive, headlines in 5 Indian languages and a convenient mail login on the home page.

Ecommerce

Online booking of railway tickets, one of the largest online transaction activities in India, was integrated at iways to users to book tickets while making cash payment. From its introduction, the numbers of railway tickets booked online per month through the iways have grown exponentially.

Remote Management Services for enterprises in India and abroad

Sify Limited (formerly Satyam Infoway Limited)

(Ionic-Information on Infrastructure) was developed to enable CIOs and operational managers of their customers to view the status of the infrastructure that they manage for them, with an ability to drill down to incident and performance details of every device under their management. IonI also enforces ITIL compliant incident and change management processes at customer end.

E Learning

Sify’s eLearning division is an end-to-end eLearning solutions provider focused on Custom Content Development services for global clients. During the course of the year, the division added UNDP and CISCO as key clients.

Innovations in this division include porting elearning content on Mobile Devices as well as creating Instructor Led Training Material creation. Sify’s successful project for CISCO, which involved porting content in PDA (HP Ipaq), has provided Sify with good visibility in the sector, which they hope will lead to additional contracts. This division is already ISO 9000 certified and is working towards CMMI Level IV certification by end of 2006-07.

New shareholder and Infusion of funds

In November 2005, Satyam Computer Services, the company’s largest shareholder divested their entire shareholding to Infinity Capital Ventures LP, USA, in which Mr Raju Vegesna, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, holds a controlling interest.

In connection with these transactions, Infinity has nominated Mr Raju Vegesna as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company.

Acquisition of new business

Sify acquired Globe Travels engaged in the business of online travel and travel related business, which is the highest revenue-generating category on the Internet. Besides the existing India inbound business of Globe Travels, the India domestic and outbound travel ticketing business will also be a key thrust for growth. Sify is upgrading the travel engine of Globe Travels to create a new travel page for its Sifymax.com and other portal properties.

Technology Initiatives

For the first time in India, a Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) mode MPLS VPN implementation was done by Sify for a customer linking seven cities across India. The customer sites were connected using Metro Ethernet access with a highly redundant network design.

In another first, Sify implemented Digital Certificate based authentication platform for a multi-location IPSEC based VPN.
