MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The year 2009-10 has seen the revival of economy and established a new growth path for the Indian industry. As the economy recovered both consumers and enterprises demand for services and solutions that allow them to 'do-more with- less' and business model innovation, improved productivity, faster return on investment, cost savings took the forefront.

 

During the year, the enterprise and SMB market has slowly opened up to adopt more IT into the system and the hiring spree, which had a ripple effect across industry in 2009, is back on revival thereby, resulting in increased IT buying. However, the market is witnessing a paradigm shift in the purchase behavior of enterprise and SMB with virtualization, green IT, on-premise delivery and outsourcing services gaining traction. The organizations are moving towards more secured investments and want to move ahead for more of opex than capex model. The sustenance of this model and preferences are likely to evolve and widespread adoption is to be seen in times ahead. The e-Governance and 'Economic Stimulus Spending' will continue to invigorate Government / Public Sector IT spending to new levels in 2010. Large scale egovernance projects will witness increased adoption of Document Management Services (DMS) and digital imaging technologies, notably scanners.

 

BUSIENSS OUTLOOK

 

The consumer is now moving to - 'Consumer 2.0' - from 'Consumer 1.0' marked by advancements in mobile computing leading to next generation 'Net books' and availability of several new applications for smart handheld devices (SHDs) or smart phones. A lag in the roll out of 3G / WIMAX will affect the launch of new types of consumer services. While consumers may experience newer digital products, they will have to make do with the limited spectrum of applications currently available and wait for the full range of next generation services experience.

 

The domestic IT market is expected to grow at 13.0% in 2010 to touch Rs. 1076550.000 millions, while the data centre services market in the country is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.7 per cent between 2009 and 2011, to touch close to US$ 2.2 billion by the end of 2011, according to research firm IDC India's report published in March 2010. The report further stated that the overall India data centre services market in 2009 was estimated at US$ 1.39 billion.

 

Cloud computing is reshaping the IT market place, creating new opportunities for suppliers and catalysing changes in the traditional IT offerings. Cloud computing primarily evolved with the growing acceptance of Saas, and the industry looking to replicate the success of offering software-as-a-service to not just platforms / applications (Paas) but also as infrastructure / hardware (Iaas or Haas). In the current scenario, when the market is passing through wide scale curtailment of CAPEX and focusing on deriving benefits through the OPEX route, this model is making its presence felt as organizations can derive benefits without the need to worry about maintenance and upkeep of the hardware and software. This is especially important for small and medium businesses, a sector that will be a key target in any plan for the broad economic recovery. After the inflexion in JAS 2009, there has businesses, a sector that will be a key target in any plan for the broad economic recovery.

 

After the inflexion in JAS 2009, there has been a continuous growth in the notebook market, maintaining the levels above 700 K every quarter. The market is bound to witness and support more growth into this specific sector and also see more devices and variety of notebook/ net book range and offerings coming into the picture. Research firm IDC expects the combined India domestic IT-ITES market to grow at rate of 15.0% in 2010 to achieve revenues of Rs. 1206660.000 millions as compared to Rs. 1049060.000 millions in 2009.
