INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Year 2010-11 has seen a difficult economy with both enterprises and consumers being cautious in decision

making and discretionary spends. Inflationary pressures leading to aggressive rate hikes by the RBI led to a slowing economy and growth momentum clearly tapered off by the end of the year.

 

The company has faced some significant growth and operational challenges in the year. Some of the key challenges were.

 

·         Decline in sales of telecom products due to certain gap in partner's portfolio. However the introduction of Dual Sim phones has led to strong performance in the month of June.

 

·         Profitability has been impacted due to continued losses in Consumer Computing. However delayering of channel and launch of accessories in the last quarter has yielded positive results.

 

·         Cash has been tied in businesses like System Integration due to excessive delay in government decision cycles in the last 9 months. As they had reported earlier in a release made on their website, a government investigating agency has collected certain documents from the company, pertaining to a material contract awarded to it by a government company. The CAG has also commented on this contract in a report.

 

·         Business like HCL Infinet, Security and CDC have continued to grow but not adequately scaled in the last few years. Actions were taken on each of these businesses.

 

  • Signing divestment agreement with Tikona and
  • Rationalization of unprofitable CDC franchises.
  • Merging of Security with OA business

 

However in spite of these challenges they achieved some significant milestones such as.

 

·         Company achieved snag free roll out of many prestigious projects of national importance like RGI, AFNET and implementation of core banking systems for Co-operative banks like HPSCB.

 

·         Large outsourcing deals like PCMC, MPPDS and Financial Inclusion were won by the company. These deals are transactions based and likely to increase in the future.

 

·         HCL Learning launched multimedia classroom offerings – Digi School and Xcelerate.

 

·         Operations of HCL Global Touch were started to offer remote customer support to overseas customers.

 

·         Acquisitions in the Middle East and opening of offices in South Africa and Nigeria enhanced Global foot print.

 

·         DQ Survey rated the company #1 rating in Customer Satisfaction.

 

·         Company rated as one of the Best employers in the country and was once again selected as Business Super brands.

 

As the company embarks on a new year, it has identified improvement levers for each businesses with a rigorous

execution plan. It has also identified strategic initiatives as the way forward to change our trajectory both in the next 2-3 years and in the longer term. These include:

 

1.     Investment in Growth Drivers that the company believes are next big growth opportunities for HCL where these new businesses can be incubated and brought to scale quickly.

 

2.     Organization Transformation program 'ASPIRE' where key excellence initiatives have been kick started in different functional areas to build organization effectiveness and improve Working Capital and acquire new organization capabilities to make the Transformation successful.

 

The Company's Growth Drivers are supported by clear market trends and the company's operational strengths to

leverage these trends such as:

 

·         Adoption of cloud computing by enterprises and hosted applications by SMBs. As organizations move towards more optimized investments, they want to move ahead for more of opex than capex based model.

 

·         Adoption of mobility devices like Tablets. Enterprise Mobility is gaining steam as businesses world over come to terms with real-time information/solution be it customer support or sales force automation.

 

·         Role of IT in delivering quality education is getting more and more pronounced.

 

·         Large scale e-governance projects will witness increased adoption with online delivery of citizen services and Document Management Services (DMS) and digital imaging technologies.

 

·         Growth in various lifecycle managed services for digital solutions used by enterprises and consumers, e.g. Managed Print media services, Remote Infrastructure Management.

 

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

 

The economy decisively slowed down in the second half of FY 10-11. Growth momentum during the period tapered off in all key sectors. Government project execution was sluggish and inflation continued to be high and the continuous rate hikes drove down capacity expansion in most sectors.

 

The outlook for FY 11- 12 remains cautious about the country's economic outlook in the short term amid high inflation and delays in government decisions hurting overall business activities.

 

·         HCL Learning - HCL's Career Development Centres (CDC) offer IT courses in over 60 centres across India. HCL introduced 'HCL DigiSchool' last year, its solution designed for Indian schools that offer modern multimedia classrooms with high quality content. Subject Digischool solutions are designed and customised as per Indian K-12 school curricula for different school boards. HCL Learning is expected to show strong growth as they see consistent growth in spend for Education and increasing adoption of IT for delivery of quality education.

 

·         Digital Lifestyle - HCL continues to grow Digital Lifestyle products distribution business by adding new products to its portfolio of consumer electronics and mobile accessories. With increase in size of India's middle class and share-ofwallet shifting from basic necessities to discretionary items, demand for digital lifestyle products is expected to grow.

 

·         Office Automation – Office Automation (OA) business addresses the requirements of Audio-Visual Systems, EPABX/VoIP solutions, Imaging and Printing solutions, Media and Entertainment solutions and Tracking solutions required by various enterprises and governments. The company has also created new services like managed print and media services. Growth in sale of Office Automation products like Printers, Projection Systems and AVSI systems is expected to slow down as businesses optimize capex investments in near term. However demand would be high in managed services like print services etc.

 

·         Consumer and Enterprise Computing - Subject is a significant player in the Desktop, Laptop and Thin clients market with a strong brand recall.

 

Desktop and Laptop market is expected to show slow growth and pricing pressure in near term with decrease in consumer spending and new products like Tablets eating market share. However, long term growth story of PC market still remains intact as PC penetration in the country is still just about 4% (compare this with mobile phone penetration of over 60%) and broadband penetration is still under 1% and a rapid growth in the same expected over next 4-5 years.

 

In computing, besides PCs, the company's Enterprise Business Unit drives sale of hardware like desktops, laptops, S4N (server, storage, security, network) products and System Integration solutions to Government, enterprises and Small and Medium Business (SMB) customers. In the near term, even this business is likely to face a slow down with a tightening of the economy. However this unit is expected to show a consistent growth in the long term as SMB market grows in India and both government and Enterprises continue to seek efficiencies using IT and with new technologies of mobility and cloud computing.

PRESS RELEASES

 

INDUSTRY-ELECTRONICS TWO LAST NEW DELHI

 

Kochi, December 13 -- Among others present on the occasion were Mr Lakshmi Narayan,advisor at the Videocon Industries, Mr P K Sandell, chairman of Eltec Systems, Mr Ajai Chowdhury, chairman of HCL Infosystems. According to a knowledge paper prepared by ASSOCHAM and Frost and Sullivan, the 2020 guidance is expected to catapult India s contribution to the 1.8 trillion dollar global electronics industry to 15 per cent from the current low contribution of 2.5 per cent. It said rising localisation of electronics manufacturing is a bellwether for propitious future of local semiconductor industry. Increasing assembling and manufacturing activities bode well for the semiconductor market as it awaits the dormant opportunity to turn active. The past decade has been remarkable from a consumption perspective: 18 million mobile phones in 2003 to 172 million units in 2010, shipment of three million personal computers to over 8.2 million in the same period, from a non-existence LCD TV market in 2003 to rapidly growing sales of 3.5 million units in 2010. The mobile revolution, an expanding middle class, growing emphasis on quality healthcare to the masses, increasing government spending on aerospace and defence, and enhancing significance of energy efficiency are all key trends influencing the growth of Indian electronics industry, it added. It said the demand for skilled labour should be addressed through establishment of specialised training centres with courses in electronics design, surface mount technology and floor automation. The industry body said success stories from some of the best practices in industry development adopted in other electronics strong economies like Taiwan, the Philippines and Malaysia are worth revisiting. The global electronics industry reported at 1.75 trillion dollars is the largest and fastest growing manufacturing sector. It is expected to reach 2.4 trillion dollars by 2020.

 

'CLUSTER APPROACH, ECOSYSTEM NECESSARY FOR $65 BLN ELECTRONIC MKT'

 

New Delhi, December 12 -- Industry experts and policy makers today called for a national electronics strategy to develop laboratory-to-fabrication clusters across the country and build a vibrant ecosystem for the 65 billion dollar market. High-volume sourcing of components and final products has hampered the growth of electronics manufacturing base in recent years, said Mr R Chandrashekhar, secretary at the ministry of communications and information technology while addressing a national conference organised by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham). Growth trends show the demand for electronic products to cross 400 billion dollars by 2020, he said. A national strategy has to be formulated through discussions with key stakeholders including existing manufacturers and members of the MSME sector, industry associations, respective government departments and regulatory bodies, he said. Mr Chandrashekhar called for creating industrial clusters to meet the need for fostering innovation and manufacturing in electronics sector. Mr Ajay Shankar, member secretary at the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council, said domestic manufacturing is essential to sustain GDP growth momentum and generate mass employment. There is a growing consensus that electronics industry needs a special emphasis. It will encourage value generation, revenue generation and employment generation, he said adding practical and implement-able solutions should be worked out. Assocham secretary general D S Rawat called for establishing centres of excellence for incentivising collaborative research and development initiatives between MSMEs and MNCs. Absence of feeder industries is the biggest hurdle for electronics manufacturers to set operations, he said. The government needs to take quick steps to start developing an ecosystem which will attract manufacturing investments, he said. Among others present on the occasion were Mr Lakshmi Narayan, advisor at the Videocon Industries, Mr P K Sandell, chairman of Eltec Systems, Mr Ajai Chowdhury, chairman of HCL Infosystems.
