INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

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.2453.2 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. The company board is set to consider the setting up of a 700000 tonne per annum polypropylene plant at an estimated cost at Rs.3150 crore.

With a strong focus on continuous innovation, customer sovereignty and people orientation, Zensar has been able to demonstrate extraordinary growth and excellence in business results. In the past year, the Company has been restructured to provide specialised vertical solutions to global corporations across the world. The solutions and domain expertise has helped Zensar generate revenues from the existing customer base and add new customers to the vertical portfolios. The Company's expansion into new age technologies, Social Media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud Computing are expected to provide significant avenues for growth.

 

Zensar also rolled out its new and focused verticalised innovative solution strategy during the year and integrated theonsite Data Centre and Information Security services of itsacquired company, Akibia with its Remote Infrastructure Management service line. These moves are in line with the Company's long-term strategy of building specific offerings across various lines of business thus embarking on an ambitious plan to be the next generation global industry player.

INDUSTRY OUTLOOK 2012 – 13

 

In the face of a volatile economic environment, 2012 recorded a steady growth for technology and related services sector, with worldwide spending of USD 1.9 Trillion and a growth rate of 4.8 percent over 2011. BPM services with 4.9 percent (slightly above industry average) contributed majorly to the growth, followed by IT services and packaged software each with 3.3 percent growth. IT, BPM services and software products continued to lead, accounting for over USD 1 Trillion which is 58 per cent of the total IT spend. IT hardware with growth rate of near 7 percent touched USD 797 Billion and accounted for the remaining 42 percent of the worldwide technology spend in 2012.

 

In line with growth in global IT spend, the global sourcing market also grew to USD 124-130 Billion, showing growth of 9percent over 2011 which is nearly twice the growth of global IT spend. APAC spend grew 6 percent, nearly 1.6 times faster than mature geographies. IT spends of Americas remained steady at 5 percent and EMEA recorded a minimal growth of 1 percent over 2011. The impact was also visible on the vertical spending with emerging verticals driving incremental growth in 2012. While BFSI and manufacturing segment remained the two largest verticals in terms of total share in IT spending with more than 40 percent share, emerging verticals like healthcare, retail, government and utilities contributed 30 per cent of total IT spend in 2012.

 

Lingering concerns about the global economy also impacted contracts demonstrating volume decline of nearly 13 percent, however the Average Contract Value (ACV) remained fairly steady at USD 21 Billion largely due to a number of megadeals in BPM. In terms of regional contracts, APAC was the sole market to have registered significant growth over 2011, with near 55 percent (value terms) and increased its share in total contract value to 15 percent. The EMEA contracts declined 13 percent and the Americas by about 2.5 percent.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The global economy is set to improve 2013 onwards, with global GDP expected to increase by 3.5 percent in 2013 and further by 4.1 percent in 2014. Simultaneously, the growing importance of the BRIC economies in world trade means that these markets are maturing from just being sources of cheap labour to sources of innovation. Five major technology changes are expected to open new opportunities for service providers – smart computing that are expected to drive industry-specific solutions, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to play a dominant role, social technologies empowering all elements of an industry's value chain including suppliers, employees, customers, and business partners, mobility lending access to anytime, anywhere information and analytics giving real-time intelligence. Another mega trend is around buyers of technology - the expanding role of IT means that the stakeholder has expanded beyond CIOs; employees now are influencing corporate tech adoption and IT's role is also shifting from a reactive back-end support operation to a proactive enabler of innovation.

ZENSAR TECHNOLOGIES BAGS DEALS WORTH RS 1800.000 MILLIONS



IT firm Zensar Technologies BSE 2.17 % today said it has bagged deals worth over Rs.1800.000 Millions this month from the US market.

 

"It has been a good start to the calender year. All the new deals signed so far are in North America and span all Zensar services in the areas of ERP, application management and infrastructure management," Zensar 

Technologies Vice Chairman and CEO Ganesh Natarajan said in a statement.


The US market accounts for close to 60 per cent of the exports of Indian IT services players.

 

The new deals signed include one with an access equipment manufacturer, while another is a large vendor consolidation agreement with a billion-dollar network equipment vendor.

 

"Our strategies for new client acquisition in the US region have begun to show significant traction helping provide the necessary boost to sales," Zensar Chief Executive and Head (Enterprise Transformation Business) Nitin Parab said.

 

The client acquisition in the US has been buoyant in all three verticals that Zensar is focusing on including manufacturing, retail and insurance, he added. 

 

"The order book for the year ahead looks robust and we hope to further close some significant deals in the pipeline in the coming months," he said.

 

 

ZENSAR REVENUES UP 12.8% IN THIRD QUARTER

 

Zensar Technologies today announced its third Quarter results, reporting revenues of Rs.5920.100 Millions, a growth of 12.8% over the same quarter previous year of Rs.5247.800 Millions . The PAT is at Rs.507.100 Millions, a 4.1% increase over the same quarter previous year of Rs.487.000 Millions. The profit growth has been impacted due to currency fluctuations during the period.

 

The Infrastructure Management business of the company, which has been restructured over the last few quarters, has shown a sharp increase in dollar revenues of over 12% on a sequential quarter basis. The company reported 12 new customer wins in the quarter including over 27 million dollars of new business in IM.

 

Zensar’s focus on Continental Europe is also paying dividends. The territory has recorded robust growth of 11.1% over the same quarter previous year

 

Vivek Gupta, Chief Executive of Global Infrastructure Management business at Zensar Technologies said, “The Quarter has been upbeat with several new client additions, with the company’s focus on cloud, security and multi-vendor services reaping results. We have a robust pipeline and are confident of good conversion in 2014.”

US MARKETS SET FOR SIGNIFICANT GROWTH



Zensar Technologies, a leading software services and infrastructure provider has recorded significant wins amounting to over Rs.1800.000 Millions at the start of calendar year 2014

.

Dr. Ganesh Natarajan, Vice Chairman and CEO, Zensar Technologies said, “It has been a good start to the calendar year. All the new deals signed so far are in North America and span all Zensar services in the areas of ERP, Application Management and Infrastructure Management. US, Europe and Africa will continue to be key growth markets for Zensar.”

 

The new deals won include a leading manufacturer of access equipment, specialty vehicles and truck bodies partnering with them on their transformation initiatives; legacy transformation initiatives for a large energy company delivering top-quality, competitively priced solutions that helps utilities and retail energy suppliers, a multi-year maintenance and infrastructure contract for a leading North American real estate major, and a large biomedical laboratory instruments manufacturer.

The engagement moved from the existing support portfolio to an end-to-end services scenario as also involving future roadmap exercises. In this strategic consolidation, the complete program was reduced by seven vendors to just one partner.

 

Nitin Parab, Chief Executive and Head,  Enterprise Transformation Business, Zensar said, “Our strategies for new client acquisition in the US region have begun to show significant traction helping provide the necessary boost to sales. The client acquisition in the US has been buoyant in all three verticals that we are focusing on including Manufacturing, Retail and Insurance.
