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.

PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

 

The year 2010-11 has been the year of recovery post the global economic recession, with varied economic environment in the developed and emerging markets. Inspite of an increase in discretionary spending and demand, there is cautious optimism for sustained growth with clients seeking transformational deals. The industry focused on emerging verticals, markets, new customer segments while driving customer innovation led transformation in client organizations and internal operations. This year also saw wide ranging contract restructuring exercises and deal size reductions as the industry accepted new business models and budgetary constraints.

 

While cost and talent still remain the essential considerations, savvy customers are constantly demanding higher levels of flexibility and innovation. New customer acquisitions which required initial onsite presence have led to an increase in local hiring and onsite subcontractors. Onsite revenue as percentage of total revenue increased from 49% to 53%. This coupled with increased offshore wage costs and recruitment of trainees impacting billability has led to pressure on margins. The revenue contribution from North America increased marginally from 66% to 67%, with Europe maintaining at 15% and Japan/ South East Asia at 7%.

 

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

 

As on March 31, 2011, the company had wholly owned subsidiaries namely, Larsen and Toubro Infotech GmbH, Larsen and Toubro Infotech Canada Limited, Larsen and Toubro Infotech LLC, GDA Technologies Inc. including GDA Technologies Limited, a step down subsidiary and L and T Infotech Financial Services Technologies Inc.

 

During the year, the services business of GDA Technologies Inc. (GDA) has been transferred to the company, with GDA continuing the business in IP / CDMS areas.

 

 

PRESS RELEASE:

 

US COURT UPHOLDS CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST L AND T INFOTECH

 

Press Trust of India / New York Mar 01, 2012, 00:45 IST

A US court has upheld a class claim of sex discrimination filed against Larsen and Toubro Infotech, a subsidiary of Indian conglomerate L and T, by its former employee, who has alleged she was fired from her job after she informed the company she was pregnant.

The lawsuit has been brought by New York attorney Krishnan Chittur on behalf of Deepa Shanbhag and 1,500 past and present women employees.

In the lawsuit, which seeks $20 million (Rs 980.000 millions) in damages, Shanbhag had alleged that L and T Infotech discriminated against its female employees on the basis of sex with respect to job assignment, compensation and created a "hostile and abusive climate" for them.

It alleges that L and T Infotech "discriminated against her and other employees on grounds of sex and pregnancy". It added that the company "unlawfully or discriminatorily terminated employment of pregnant employees on "false pretenses."

Magistrate Judge Patty Shwartz of the District Court in New Jersey allowed the individual claim of intentional sex discrimination, individual and class claims of sex discrimination under New Jersey Law and a class claim of pregnancy discrimination against L and T.

The court also allowed Shanbhag's motion to add Larsen and Toubro Limited as a party to the lawsuit. Shanbhag, a New Jersey resident, has demanded a jury trial in the case.

Chittur said L and T would now have to "answer before a jury for its maltreatment of women, and pay these women compensation for what these women had to suffer."

Shanbhag was hired by the New Jersey-headquartered company as an independent contractor in October 2010 for three months. The lawsuit said L and T, pleased with Shanbhag's performance, had offered her a full-time position. Shanbhag joined the company as a full-time employee in January 2011.

However, Shanbhag informed the company in March that she was pregnant.

A day later and only 38 days after Shanbhag joined as a full-time employee, L and T terminated her employment.

During her employment, Shanbhag alleged in the lawsuit, she was repeatedly subjected to an "unrelenting barrage of sexual harassment" and criticism of other female employees. In one instance, Shanbhag's immediate supervisor had told her she was replacing "a dreadful woman who did not know how to dress."

The court however dismissed Shanbagh's class claims for pregnancy, sex and hostile work environment and claims for breach of contract.

The court has given L and T time till March 15 to respond.

The lawsuit states Shanbhag suffered economic loss, was denied employment benefits and suffered "mental anguish, humiliation and emotional distress" due to the company's discriminatory practices. It says the company should reinstate all those women employees who wish to rejoin and in future should restrain from engaging in any discriminatory practices and customs.
