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.

OPERATIONS

 

The year has been a watershed year in the history of Edelman in India. In November 2011 we won the mandate from one of India's conglomerate to handle the PR for its key 28 companies. This mandate coupled with other new business helped them in nearly doubling their revenue over the previous year. This puts them in the ranks of the top 5 PR firms in India.

 

The company hired over 120 new staff last year. This has taken our total staff strength to over 250 all over India. The company has opened offices in 7 new cities in India thereby expanding our geographical footprint in the country. The company has moved into a larger office in Bangalore and also taken additional space in the same buildings in Mumbai and Gurgaon.

 

The investments continue to be made in training by having the members of the senior staff attending the regional Leadership training programs other local training programs for other staff.

 

The credit of maintaining the revenues goes to the entire dedicated servicing India team right from the Practice Directors - Account Managers to the back office and administrative support teams.

 

Profits were strong due to increased revenues during the year.

 

There was an increase operating and other expense due increase in rental costs due to the new office moves, travelling costs and training costs.

 

The outlook on the current year is very positive and they are looking to reap the benefits of the efforts made last year.
