OPERATIONS

 

The Accounts for the year were considered by the Audit Committee at its meeting held on June 21, 2012 and the financial statements were forwarded to the board along with comments and recommendation. During the year, the Company achieved total turnover of Rs. 95680.830 Million, and after providing for depreciation of Rs. 21.280 Million and Finance Cost of Rs. 294.070 Million, the Company earned a profit before tax of Rs. 1548.790 Million. After providing for Income Tax (Current tax of Rs. 520.000 Million and Deferred tax of (Rs. 6.040 Million), the Profit after tax stood at Rs. 1034.820 Million.

 

During the year, the company grew revenues by close to 14% over prior year. The growth in revenues were predominantly due to growth of the consumer PC and smartphone product categories. Over the past few years, the company has established a diversified portfolio of brands across these product categories and refined its go to market model to become a preferred partner for key vendors and customers, in this segment.

 

The corporate and Govt. market continues to be subdued due to various economic factors that are adversely impacting the investment climate in this segment and this has had its impact on the companies growth in these segments.

 

During the year, the PC storage industry was also impacted by the floods in Thailand. This unfortunate event resulted in significant shortage of products for over 6 months which also impacted the growth in the white box PC segment.

 

During the year the Singapore branch was fully operational. The revenue and expenses of the branch have been included in the financials.

 

During the year Company opened a Liaison Office in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Increase in working capital and higher interest rates in the market resulted in higher finance cost.

 

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

Given the political developments in the country, the company expects the demand for IT infrastructure products and solutions to continue to be subdues during fiscal ’12-’13. This is also likely to place significant pressure on the working capital cycles as customers demand more credit and longer payment terms.

 

However, they expect the consumer product categories to continue to exhibit robust demand. Mobile phone consumers will continue to migrate demand to higher end feature phones and smartphones which will have a positive impact on the company’s performance.

PRESS RELEASE

 

INGRAM MICRO'S BRIGHTPOINT BUYOUT PLAN OK'D

 

New Delhi, Monday September 10, 2012

Fair trade regulator CCI has approved IT products distributor company Ingram Micro's proposed acquisition of Brightpoint Inc.

 

As per the proposal, Ingram Micro would merge its wholly- owned subsidiary Beacon Sub with Brightpoint. Subsequently, Ingram would have sole control of Brightpoint, also an IT product distributor.

 

In an order dated September 4, 2012, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said the proposed merger is not likely to have an adverse effect on competition in India.

 

CCI has observed that market share of some of the firms in the distribution of mobility devices in India is higher than the combined market share of both Ingram Micro and Brightpoint. The market is characterised with the presence of many players with insignificant entry barriers, it added.

 

"The market share of Ingram and Brightpoint with respect to the wholesale distribution of mobility products, at the individual as well as combined level in India, is in single digit," the regulator said.

 

On July 2, Ingram had announced it would acquire Brightpoint in a deal worth about USD 840 million, including the latter's debt (net of cash) of about USD 190 million.

 

Post merger, Brightpoint would remain while Beacon Sub would cease to exist as a separate corporate entity.

US-based Ingram Micro operates in India through its subsidiary Ingram Micro India. In India, the company is engaged in distribution of IT products, consumer electronics, laptops and tablets.

 

Brightpoint, also an American entity, has presence in the country through Brightpoint India Private Ltd and is mainly into the wholesale distribution of mobile phone accessories and tablets.

 

According to the CCI, the order would be revoked, if at any time, the information provided to it is found to be incorrect.

 

 

ARBOR NETWORKS PARTNERS WITH INGRAM MICRO IN INDIA

 

July 9, 2012

Peakflow SP platform delivers integrated threat detection and mitigation for large network operators; Pravail APS delivers on-premise protection from application-layer attacks on network availability

 

Arbor Networks, Inc., a leading provider of security and network management solutions for enterprise and carrier networks, today extended their distribution agreement with Ingram Micro to include India. Ingram Micro is distributing Arbor’s PravailTM Availability Protection System (Pravail APS) for enterprise network availability and the Peakflow® SP platform for large enterprise and service provider networks.

 

“Arbor Networks is addressing a major concern for enterprises of all sizes – ensuring the availability of critical applications and services. Arbor’s Pravail APS provides tremendous value to the enterprise. From the partner perspective, Arbor offers a very comprehensive support and incentive program for our Reseller Partners,” said Mr. Jaishankar Krishnan, managing director of Ingram Micro India Ltd.

 

Global Leader in DDoS Protection


According to a recent report from Infonetics Research titled, DDoS Prevention Appliance Market Outlook, Arbor Networks was cited as “the dominant leader for DDoS prevention” overall as well as in the Carrier Transport and Wired Broadband, Enterprise Data Center and Mobile market segments. 

 

Integrated Threat Detection and Mitigation for global enterprise and ISP Networks


The vast majority of the world’s leading service providers and many of the largest enterprise networks in operation today rely on Arbor’s Peakflow SP platform to proactively fend off malicious threats such as botnets and volumetric and application-layer DDoS attacks, while strengthening the availability and quality of their services. Arbor’s Peakflow SP platform includes two main components, Peakflow SP and the Threat Management System (TMS).   Peakflow SP combines network-wide anomaly detection and traffic engineering with TMS’s carrier-class threat management that automatically detects and surgically removes only attack traffic while maintaining legitimate business traffic.  The Peakflow SP platform powers many of the world’s leading cloud-based DDoS managed security services.

 

Availability and Investment Protection for the Enterprise


What makes Arbor’s Pravail APS such an important product for the enterprise is that it not only protects against availability threats such as application-layer DDoS attacks, it provides investment protection to existing security infrastructure.  For example, firewalls and IPS are designed for important security problems other than DDoS. They were built to stop unauthorized access to critical resources, enforce corporate security policies and prevent data loss. These all remain critical security problems. What’s changed is that availability itself is now under assault and it requires a solution designed specifically for today’s complex DDoS problem.

 

Arbor Pravail APS Highlights:

Out-of-the-Box Protection


* Rapidly deployable with little configuration, even during an attack.


* A single, easy-to-manage platform with extensive reporting capabilities.

 

Cloud SignalingSM Functionality 


* Facilitates both enterprise data center-edge mitigation of application-layer attacks and upstream service provider mitigation of volumetric attacks in an automated, coordinated and real-time manner.


* The only mechanism available today that provides complete protection against both application and volumetric DDoS attacks.

 

ATLAS® Intelligence Feed 


* Automates the identification of botnet-borne attacks against data center infrastructures.


* Monitors for new threats, delivers updates automatically and includes geo-location data.

 

“Arbor Networks® DDoS mitigation solutions are pervasively deployed in global service provider networks. To reach the enterprise market, we required the reach and resources and relationships of a partner like Ingram Micro,” said Attley Ng, Arbor Networks vice president and general manager for APAC. “Ingram Micro is the market leader in Asia and we are excited about leveraging their vast resources with a very compelling product for data center operators at a time when network security threats are evolving and presenting acute challenges.”

VMWARE EXPANDS ITS ENGAGEMENT WITH INGRAM MICRO

 

April 26, 2013

VMware announced the appointment of Ingram Micro India Limited as its second authorized aggregator for the VMware Service Provider Program (VSPP) in India. With this appointment, VMware expands its existing engagement with Ingram Micro as a ‘Value Added Distributor (VAD)’ for India.

 

The VSPP has been uniquely designed to help service providers develop, promote and sell their cloud products, services and solutions. The model, introduced in 2010, is fast emerging as a preferred option for Indian companies, both large and small, who are looking at subscription-based hosted IT services to easily address their dynamic business requirements, while maintaining control and security of their IT environments.

 

“We are witnessing a strong demand for subscription-based hosted IT services through VSPP in India. The growing interest by partners suggests that public and hybrid clouds are not only a strategic imperative in organizations today, but also that Indian companies are increasingly considering, evaluating and consuming compute services in the cloud,” said Ganesan Arumugam, director, Partners and Alliances, VMware India and SAARC.

 

“Our expanded engagement with Ingram Micro will help us leverage its extensive network of partners to reach and tap newer markets as well as scale the program in India,” he added.

 

The VSPP is a cornerstone of VMware’s partner programs and was created for IT partners providing hosted IT services to end user companies. VSPP includes partners that provide subscription or web services to third parties, enabling service and hosting providers to consume VMware virtualization solutions, including VMware vSphere, in a way that aligns with their business models. This has created new opportunities for partners to offer virtualization-enabled solutions, applications and services for their customers.

 

“Ingram Micro India Limited continues to demonstrate sustainable business value to our vendors and channel partners selling data center solutions and cloud services in India,” said K Jaishankar, managing director, Ingram Micro India Limited. “As one of the largest distribution partners of VMware in the country, we are now enhancing our relationship as an authorized VSPP aggregator. We are now in a position to provide access for our partners to a cost-effective pay-as-you-go subscription model,” he added.

 

VMware established a presence in India in 2005 and today has serves about 3,000 customers, employs some 2,000 staff and works with 100 partners. VMware also recently announced a multi-year investment of $120 million for a new RandD facility in Bangalore.
