INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERVIEW

 

The education industry across the world is an area where there is a continuous requirement for high quality material – whether it be print or digital. Developed countries spend anywhere between 5-6% of their GDP on education. India along with peers like Brazil, Russia and China falls in the category of countries which spend 2-4% of their GDP on education. The government proposes to increase the education expense to 5% of GDP from the current levels of 3% to meet the increasing “youth” demographic which needs to be educated.

 

The Indian books market, estimated to be $1.75bn in size, can be divided into two segments – text books ($1.2bn) and supplementary books ($510m). With a large ‘under-24’ population of ~ 500m, the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education), board estimates India will soon need 150,000 more private schools—twice as many as it has at present. Various education services, including more schools, vocational training—all of which face serious shortages today—will be needed.

 

 

DEVELOPMENTS DURING THIS YEAR :

 

Against the background of a growing global need for education, Repro is well positioned to take advantage of the opportunities. The company has already taken several strategic initiatives in various areas of technology to build and grow its current business, while also make significant inroads into the digital sphere as well.

 

The Indian Education Publishing market is highly fragmented with over 8000 publishers. Each of these publishers have strong ties with select educational institutions, where their books are used. Repro’s client base is in excess of 500 Publishers and Educational Institutions. Building on the foundation of strong relationships with its customers, the company has focused on some specific areas of growth:
