US investment bank Goldman Sachs  has upgraded its outlook on Indian markets as it expects positive impact of the election cycle.

 

India’s economy may grow 4.7 % in the current financial year, lower than the official estimate of 4.9 %, Fitch Rating said. The global rating agency expects the economy to pick up in the next two financial years.

 

Global ratings agency Standard & Poor said increasing focus by India Inc on lowering debt is likely to improve their credit profiles.

 

Singapore (1.1 million Indian tourists in 2012), Thailand (one million), the United Arab Emirates ().98 million) and Malaysia ().82 million) emerged as the preferred holidays hotspots for Indians. The total figure is expected to increase to 1.93 million by 2017, according to the latest Eurmonitor international report.

 

There is a $29.34 bn outward foreign direct investment by domestic companies between April and January of 2013/14 which has seen some signs of recovery according to a Care Ratings report.

 

There are 264 number of new companies being set up every day on average during 2014. Most of them are registered in Mumbai. India had 1.38 million registered companies at the end of January, 2014.

 

Twitter like messaging service Weibo Corporation has filed to raise $ 500 million via a US initial public offering. Alibaba, which owns a stake in Weibo is expected to raise about $ 15 billion New York this year in the highest profile Internet IPO since Facebook’s in 2012.

 

Bharti Airtel has raised Rs.2,453.2 crore (350 million Swiss Francs) by selling six-year bonds at a coupon rate of three per cent and maturing in 2020. This is the largest ever bond offering by an Indian company in Swiss Francs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation raised 175 million Swiss Francs by selling five year bonds at 2.98 % coupon rate in February.

 

Indian Oil Corporation plans to invest Rs 7650 crore in setting up a petrochemical complex at its almost complete Paradip refinery in Odhisha in three to four years.

BUSINESS REORGANIZATION:

 

The company is at a crucial stage of its maturity cycle. Over the years, from being an innovator in the private ISP space, the company moved into building products and services for the Emerging and established Enterprise market. In time, the Company had a presence in the entire IT eco-system.

 

It was time to consolidate the multiple product offerings. The Company has now repackaged its product offerings along vertical lines. The long term vision is to transform the company from “Telecom Service Provider” to an “IT Solutions and Services Leader”, the genesis of Sify Version 3.0

 

While the company would continue to invest in the Core IT facilities like Data Center and Network Backbone, it is the scale that would be the primary focus. That would be driven by Solutions, Services and Project led engagements with clients. As the company embarks on this journey, the Company reorganized its Go-to-Market strategy with a clear focus on the following:

 

• The company has in-house “design” and “implementation” capabilities in areas like Data Center, Network and Security which can be expanded and monetized to address “Customer On-Premise” integration projects. This laid the foundation for building Professional Services Capability around various technologies, for both Domestic & International business.

 

• To facilitate and strengthen the above, the Company is entering into partnerships with leading Technology OEMs to gain the status of desired level of certification and professional services capabilities.

 

• The company is also investing resources in a “Partner Eco-system” through which it could sell its products like

Telecom Services and Data Center Services.

 

• The company’s large SMB customer base presents a significant “Up-sell” opportunity. With its “Service Provider

DNA”, the company aims to productize IT services on hosted or cloud model, specially designed for SMB space.

 

• The company is also driving a strategy backed by “Proposition based” sales rather than “Product led” sales.

 

• The company would continue to aggressively court the PSU and Government space which is a big spender in India.

 

• Applications and Software Services with Infrastructure and Managed Services offerings are being integrated to be able to address larger customer spend.

 

• The Company intends to build services capabilities around other 3rd Party leading Applications/Software Provider and expand Sify’s Cloud offerings around both Infrastructure and Applications.

 

• Company would focus on more Managed Services led offerings around Data Center Services and Network Services rather than offering stand-alone Hosting and Bandwidth Services respectively.

 

• The company is strengthening its RIM led Managed Services portfolio allowing it to expand its current foot print and customer base outside India.

 

 

THE BROAD FOOTPRINT OF THE INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS IS EXPANDED AS UNDER.

 

TELECOM SERVICES

 

Telecom Services will drive growth by collaborating with other Telcos on Master Network Integration projects like DoP, focusing on Program led partnerships with other IT players and by offering customized solutions built around

existing Network infrastructure.

 

DATA CENTRE SERVICES

 

The Data Center Hosting business would be run as an independent Business Unit and this Unit would collaborate

with the Managed Services and Cloud Business Unit to ensure better ROI of the Company’s investment. Protecting increasing commoditization of DC business is of prime focus and the Company offers increased value

proposition through holistic IT services engagement.

 

TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION SERVICES

 

This business will combine the Company’s IT capabilities with its core telecom and data center products to provide a converged turn-key ICT solution to the customer. It will leverage the Company’s homegrown expertise

in design, implementation and maintenance to deliver end-to-end managed IT services across data center, network and security.

 

CLOUD AND MANAGED SERVICES

 

The mandate to the MITS team is to drive all IT Services led projects encompassing single / multi-towers of IT like Data Center, Network, Security, End User Computing etc. They will execute this using a framework built around “Tools, Process & People” and extend services over a robust RIM delivery model. This model will extensively utilize the cloud platform for delivering services like IaaS and PaaS.

 

APPLICATIONS SERVICE

 

Partnership will be at the core of this business line. They will seek out alliances with Strategic Application Providers while simultaneously building an eco-system of independent software vendors on their Cloud platform. They will support all system integration projects that are application led while scripting go-to-market strategies with synergetic Application partners.

sustainable manner.

 

Initially, STL had 10% holding in SEIF and acquired an additional 89.80% in October 2012. Though the Company holds substantial majority of the shares, SEIF is not considered as subsidiary for consolidation purposes as the Company intends to close the company.
