INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The worst is over for India’s economy with gross domestic product likely to expand 5 %to 5.5 % this year and more than 6 % in 2015, according to Moody’s Analytics. Concerns over the rupee and current account deficit are under control, said the agency. Ratings firm Crisil has forecast 6 % growth for 2014/15 up from the estimated 4.8 % for 2013/14.  Total economic growth, infrastructure bottlenecks and lack of transparency and consistency in foreign direct investment policies seem to have taken a toll on India’s attractiveness as an investment destination, says an Ernst & Young survey.  Projects with FDI component fell 16.4 % across the globe in 2012 from the previous year.  The drop in India was steeper at 21 %. State run carrier Air India is doling out free tickets to its 24000 employees, even as it expects to incur a loss of Rs 39000 mn this financial year and has a debt of Rs 350000 mn. 550000 number of jobs generated across India in 2013, a fall of 0.4 % as compared to with a year earlier. The National  Capital Region has a one-fourth share in total jobs created, according to a study by industry lobby group Assochem, Banks, real estate, automobile and telecommunications sectors are showing a rise of job creation. $ 805 mn investments by venture capital firms in India during 2013, registering a drop of about 18 % over the previous year. The Information Technology and IT-Enabled  Services Industry retained its status as the favourable venture capital investors in 2013. Pakistan has temporarily banned gold imports for the second time in six months, as it tries to stem smuggling into India. India’s import duty on gold is 10 % and curbs on purchases have dried up legal imports into what used to be the world’s biggest bullion buyers. The World Gold Council puts the amount smuggled into India at upto 200 tonnes in 2013. The Reserve Bank of India has proposed that unclaimed bank deposits estimated to be about Rs 35000 mn be used for education and awareness among depositors.  According to the plan, deposits that have not been claimed for at least 10 years will be transferred to the scheme.

INDEX OF CHARGES: NO CHARGES EXIST FOR COMPANY

 

NOTE ON DEMERGER:

 

During the financial year 2013, the Company had initiated and completed the demerger of consumer care and lighting, infrastructure engineering businesses and other non IT business of the Company (collectively, the “Diversified Business”). The “Scheme of Arrangement” (“the Scheme”) involved transfer of the Diversified Business to a “Resulting Company” [Wipro Enterprises Limited (formerly known as Azim Premji Custodial Services Private Limited)]. The Scheme became effective on March 31, 2013 with an appointed date of April 01, 2012 with the sanction of the Honorable High Court of Karnataka and filing of the certified copy of the same with the Registrar of Companies. Consequent to the demerger of the Diversified Business of the Company in terms of the Scheme, the financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2013, do not include the operations of the Diversified Business, and are therefore strictly not comparable with the figures of the previous year ended March 31, 2012. Please see the financial statements sections for further information. Pursuant to the Scheme, all shareholders of Wipro received either securities of the Resulting Company or the equivalent value in additional shares of Wipro Limited.

 

OUTLOOK

 

According to NASSCOM Strategic Review 2013, Global technology spend is expected to grow by 6% in 2013. World wide IT Services spending is expected to grow is expected to grow 4.2% in 2013 and 4.6% in 2014. The growth is fuelled both by use of IT to reduce cost structure as well as increased adoption of Cloud, Mobility, Analytics and Social Media. India continues to be the global sourcing leader. Global sourcing accounts for only a little over 10 per cent of global technology spending and this highlights India’s growth potential in the context of the large and untapped market opportunity.

Over the past two decades, India has risen to become the leading destination for global sourcing of IT, BPO and research and development services. Established Indian IT services companies have a proven track record for providing business and technology solutions, offering a large, high quality and English-speaking talent pool, and a friendly regulatory environment. These factors, coupled with strong existing client relationships have facilitated India’s emergence as a global outsourcing hub.

WIPRO EXPANDS SOUTH AFRICA INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME

 

Johannesburg, South Africa and Bangalore, India - February 17, 2014: Wipro Limited. (NYSE:WIT), a leading global Information Technology, Consulting and Outsourcing company, has announced plans to expand the intake of graduates for its successful internship programme in South Africa. Now in its second year, Wipro's local internship programme in South Africa had enrolled 70 graduates in 2013 and this will be increased to 150 in 2014.

 

"The internship programme is becoming a crucial enabler of Wipro's growth in Africa. For us, the programme is about nurturing talent for local leadership and ensuring that we have the right people on board – people who understand local culture, local markets and local customers across the African continent. We look for people that fit the entrepreneurial spirit of Wipro – those who have a willingness to learn and a creative and innovative bent of mind," said Saurabh Govil, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Wipro Limited.

 

Internship applicants (B.SC students with a specialization in Mathematics and Science) from disadvantaged backgrounds are put through a process of entrance exams and interviews with local Wipro leadership to test attitudes to learning in addition to technical aptitude.

 

Post completion of the initial three months of theoretical training, the interns are interviewed for an apprentice role on a number of live projects.

The performance will be reviewed and qualifying interns will be absorbed into Wipro's operations in South Africa.

 

Govil added, "The programme gives the interns a chance to work on ‘live' client projects, to gain in-depth experience in everything from software development and project management, to client relationships, and crisis management. The programme offers a very high chance of being absorbed into the company - the first batch of 30 interns from 2013 is now employed full-time at Wipro. This program literally opens up a world of opportunities to work on projects wherever Wipro operates."

 

Interns are assigned mentors, and receive weekly feedback and undergo periodic assessments on their performance. The overall curriculum has been designed to bridge the gap between campuses and the industry, and covers both technical and behavioural aspects.
