MAJOR CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

 

ISSUE OF FRESH CAPITAL

 

In terms of the approval of the shareholders at the Fourteenth Annual General Meeting, M/s Raju Vegesna Infotech and Industries Private Limited, a promoter Group Company, subscribed for 125,000,000 Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each at a premium of Rs.22/- per share for cash in the Company for funding the capital expenditure requirements of the Company.

 

The Company has so far received a sum of Rs.1000 millions towards application and allotment money. The Board of Directors has called for the First Call money of Rs.1000 million on the partly paid up shares, which is expected

to be received by end August 2011. The remaining Rs.2000 million will be called upon by the Board based on fund requirements of the Company for various ongoing projects.

BUSINESS REVIEW

 

ENTERPRISE SERVICES

 

The Enterprise Services accounted for Rs. 5600 million; about 85% of the total revenues of the company. On a year on year basis, the Enterprise business has grown by around 6% in terms of revenue.

 

This Strategic Business Unit (SBU) consists of Data services, Hosting, Managed voice services, Application services and Systems Integration.

 

In Data services, the Company increased the total managed bandwidth services contracted to customers. It continued to expand the reach of its network and today reaches 667 towns and cities across the country. Large Telecom operators who wish to increase footprint to remote parts of the country are now engaging the company

to utilize this spread.

 

The Company’s established success in the connectivity business has a happy fall out; their propositions are being

weighed more seriously by the Government for their needs. The company sees demand for its services growing with the government’s concentrated push for IT services.

 

The Company’s investment in the submarine cable business has reached an advanced stage of commissioning. The Mumbai cable landing station is expected to go live later this year.

 

Hosting services has seen a sustained growth during the year to record 20% growth in revenues over the previous year. Projects delivered to clients for their On Demand Storage services have helped in that clients are now referring recurrent business second year in a row.

 

The Company’s evangelizing of the Cloud Computing Services has turned it into the go-to company for on-demand storage requirements. In the coming years, they see more clients coming on board for their applications services. The Company has won the “Best Product implementation” award for 2011 for Cloud Security product implementation.

 

During the year, the Company strengthened its position in the competitive Managed Voice Services market. Revenues have grown by more than 43% over the previous year and volume of traffic by 80%. The acceptance of the Company by Telecom operators as a credible interconnect partner for both international and domestic termination of voice traffic has helped cement its position in the industry.

 

In Systems Integration, the Company focused on establishing itself as a leader in the Data Centre Build Practice. They are happy to report that this has been achieved by the Company against stiff competition and by establishing itself as a leader in State Data Centre build and operate contracts. Their Data Centre business, both for the State and private players, generated around Rs.275 millions revenue during the year. The Company will continue to focus on Data Center build services, while lowering focus on hardware sizing.

 

The Company identified and entered the Government sector last year with increasing success. The Company has so far won five State Data Centres (SDC), the maximum number of contracts for building and operating SDCs. The first of these have been commissioned. The Company’s adherence to stipulated timelines is helping it emerge as a leader in this space.

 

The Government of India’s move to classify the proposed fiber-optic network as a national resource and make it available on equal terms to all operators, wishing to provide broadband services will lead to a more level playing field for the Company. It will also allow the Company to further leverage their investments to deliver value added services to customers across India.

 

CONSUMER SERVICES

 

The business accounted for Rs 526 million, about 8% of the total revenues of the Company during the year.

 

Consumer Services Division went through complete reengineering during the last year. Strategic efforts were made to further consolidate various divisions within Access media and Portals to bring in more consumer centricity. The division also launched of Sify Mylife - a consumer cloud platform and new broadband products for SOHO, SMB and home segments. The consumer services division also brought in changes in the e-port business model.

build and host solutions on Sify mylife and advertisers to talk to people who access the net, either at cafes, home

or on mobile internet devices like smart phones.

 

SIFY E-PORT AND CONNECTIVITY

 

During the year, the Company launched a different model for connectivity to sign-on non e-port cybercafés in India. The Company now has over 1860 cafés connected, including 377 operational e-Ports.

 

The Company entered into agreements with selected colleges and training institutes to conduct online examinations at these cafes. The Company continues to provide value added services in the areas of Travel, Utility and Financial services which represent new sources of revenue that have the potential to grow in the years to come.

 

SIFY BROADBAND

 

The Company’s broadband service is available in over 200 cities and towns in India, with a base of around 80,000 subscribers through a network of about 1400 franchisees.

 

A new range of products was launched for the SMB segment, bundled with a range of value added services. A special team is focusing on this target segment and the Company has already signed over 525 SMB customers across the country.

 

INTERACTIVE SERVICES (PORTALS)

 

As one of India’s popular consumer portals from the company, Sify.com continued to focus on consumer behavior and user trends to revamp its content offerings to attract visitors and sustain interest. Sify.com was ranked among

the top three leading publishers for online display advertising in India.

 

 

Comscore acclaimed Sify Sports as the fastest growing sports site with a growth of 379%. New initiatives to offer

the best of sporting content (primarily Cricket) to visitors on Sify Sports including cricket scorecard on the Microsoft Silverlight platform, a move that has built stickiness among the visitors and the trade. The Cricket World cup coverage on Sify Sports achieved the highest ever page views during the season. These sections saw a combination of event coverage and interesting new features including user interactive sections like Fun Zone.

 

Following the latest user trends, the company launched an interactive Stockometer section on Microsoft’s Silverlight platform, which enables users of Sify finance to follow the latest stock prices, stock portfolio and watch list. This also enables a user to customize the tool to suite his preferences.

 

Sify Movies launched an internet radio channel-Sify Radio as a new property in alliance with Radio City. Sify Radio offers music from multiple genres in Hindi and English languages.

 

Samachar.com, the preferred online news destination for non-resident Indians is now available on mobile. Users can now access India specific news from leading newspapers, magazines and websites from Samachar.com on their mobile devices. The Company introduced a recommendation engine for Samachar.com users which understands the user’s news review pattern and recommends similar news articles; this has improved the content consumption by individual visitor on Samachar.com.
