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.

However, the Asian juggernaut continued to roll ahead registering impressive rates of growth. As in the previous year, growth in Asia was dominated by China and India, even though both these economies faced internal pressures of inflation, which slowed down growth rates.

The company was firmly placed to reap benefits of this positive trend and registered significant top-line and bottom-line growth over the previous review period. All business verticals grew from strength to strength over the previous year.

Business Standard had, on May 16, reported that Aegis, the business process outsourcing (BPO) arm of the Essar group, was in advanced talks to acquire AGC Networks. This acquisition would make Aegis among the top five information technology solution providers in the country.

 

The acquisition would be done through Essar Services Holdings Limited (ESHL). Essar Capital Finance Private Limited, along with ESHL, will announce the mandatory open offer tomorrow for an additional 20 per cent stake at a price determined in accordance with the formula specified in the takeover regulations. Assuming all shares are tendered in the open offer, its size would be Rs 780.000 Millions

 

Avaya Inc, the US-based business communication systems provider, owns the 59.13 per cent stake in AGC through Avaya Mauritius (33.63 per cent) and Avaya International LLC (25.50 per cent). Other than the promoters, Reliance Capital Trustee Company Limited A/c Reliance Growth Fund holds 6.6 per cent stake and SBI Mutual Fund has one per cent holding.

The current management is expected to continue and spearhead the business, post-closing. Edelweiss Capital Limitedis the sole advisor to the transaction and manager to the open offer.

 

Aegis was already planning an initial public offering this year. This acquisition, when complete, would also allow Aegis to strengthen the growth of its subsidiary, Aegis Tech. In June 2009, Aegis had announced its foray into infrastructure management by setting up an independent subsidiary. The company had then said it planned to invest $100 million in this venture over the next 12 months and would touch revenue of $100 million in the next 18 months.

 

Inorganic Growth

Aegis has acquired 13 firms in the past three to four years. It had stated in the past that its target was to make four acquisitions a year. On May 19, it signed an agreement to acquire US-based Sallie Mae's customer services centre in Texas. The company did not disclose the sum of the deal.

 

This agreement is effective from June 4. As part of the deal, Aegis also entered into a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal with Sallie Mae. With this acquisition, Sallie Mae was to transfer 350 employees to Aegis, taking the company's US headcount to 4,350.

 

AGC Networks had also undergone several changes in the past year. The company renamed itself. Till a year before, it was the sole subsidiary of Avaya Inc. It also started working with other partners like Polycom, Extreme Networks and others.

 

AGC Networks clocked revenue of Rs 5150.000 Millions for 2008-09. For the second quarter ended March 31, it reported net profit of Rs 93.000 Millions, exceeding net profit of the previous financial year in six months. Revenue of the company for the quarter touched Rs 1385.000 Millions.

 

Aparup Sengupta, managing director and Global CEO, Aegis Limited, said: "Essar, in a short span, has become a key player in the systems integration (SI) space and would benefit immensely from the depth and width of expertise AGC Networks has. We have a definite plan to grow this business as we aim for bigger chunks of customer spends."

 

"AGC Networks provides a great synergy with our SI business," said S K Jha, president, SI business, Essar, adding the acquisition would help them gain "deep expertise in the 'enable' block of experience management that Essar embarked upon through its worldwide expansion drive. Now, customers will have the ability to have unified communication and experience management under one roof".

 

Said Jangoo Dalal, managing director, Abaya India, "The AGC Networks relationship remains key to Avaya's success in India and Australia, both through the period of this transaction and beyond. In India, we work together to serve some of the country's leading organisations spanning multiple business sectors and we look forward to continuing to work with AGC Networks as a trusted and well-established business partner."
