MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

2013-14 was overall an improved year for the global economy, although the eurozone remained largely in recession. There continued a structural shift from the developed to the emerging world. Growth slowed down in India as well to a little below 5%.

 

The worldwide economic recovery gained ground, especially in advanced economies, although it remains below par and erratic across the globe. Global growth aggregated to 3%, with the IMF forecasting a rise to 3.6% in 2014-15. However, the global economy remains vulnerable to risks such as high debt levels in many countries, stubbornly high unemployment and concerns about emerging markets.

 

The Indian economy is going through a challenging phase, with high inflation and slowing growth. This coupled with the upcoming national elections has created a temporary slowdown of the broader economy. Nevertheless, the broader market in India has shown resilience and companies have been cautiously upgrading their IT and communications infrastructure in order to deliver stronger value to business.

 

 

IT SPEND - GLOBAL AND LOCAL

 

With the global economy showing signs of gradual recovery, worldwide IT spending kept pace to total $3.8 trillion in 2014, a 3.2 percent increase from 2013 spending, according to the latest forecast by Gartner, Inc.

 

“Globally, businesses are shaking off their malaise and returning to spending on IT to support the growth of their business,” said Richard Gordon, Managing Vice President at Gartner. “Consumers will be purchasing many new devices in 2014; however, there is a greater substitution toward lower cost and more basic devices than they have seen in prior years.”

 

The devices market (including PCs, ultra mobiles, mobile phones and tablets) is forecast to return to growth in 2014, with worldwide spending of $689 billion, a 4.4 percent increase from 2013. However in top-line spending, a shift in the product mix continues to be seen in the marketplace. Demand for highly priced premium phones is slowing, with buyers in mature countries preferring midtier premium phones, while those in emerging countries favor low-end basic android phones.

 

The number of traditional PC users is contracting to a set of fewer, albeit more engaged users. In general, consumers are opting to buy premium ultra mobiles as notebook replacements and purchasing tablets as additional devices.

 

 

INDIAN HARDWARE MARKET

 

India’s overall PC shipments for Calendar Year (CY) 2013 stood at 11.5 million units i.e. a year-on-year growth of 4.8% over CY 2012, driven largely by state governments’ purchase and distribution of laptops to students.

 

The commercial PC segment hit a high of 6.7 million units in CY 2013, with a year-on-year growth of 15.8% over CY 2012.

 

The overall consumer PC market recorded a year-on-year drop of 7.4% over CY 2012, with sales aggregating to 4.8 million units.

 

Rising inflation tightened up discretionary spending by consumers, and sales were further aggravated by loss of share to smartphones and tablets.

 

 

INDIAN NETWORKING INDUSTRY

 

Thanks to the huge traction in cloud, mobility, video, social networking, virtual networks areas, the shift from IPv4 to IPv6, convergence of networking, computing and storage; network infrastructure / networking market have become more relevant today than ever before.

 

The industry is transitioning towards programmable, flexible and virtual networks. Despite the uncertain acroeconomic conditions, the Indian networking industry has also been witnessing steady growth in line with the networking industry globally.

 

 

INDIAN SURVEILLANCE MARKET

 

The Indian video surveillance camera market is growing at a healthy rate  and according to 6Wresearch, in the fourth quarter grew to 0.80 million in CY Q4 2013, representing an increase of 20% over the previous quarter. The demand for low cost video surveillance cameras is being driven by small and medium businesses while public  infrastructure and government segments are creating the demand for high end cameras. IP cameras are also experiencing positive growth due to the need for advanced security and also in various metro rail, mono rail and airport projects. The demand should touch new heights in the coming years.

 

 

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

DIGISOL

 

Networking Products

 

The growth in the LAN market in CY 2013 was not very encouraging with the Switch market growing by about 0.3% and Routing market by about 0.8% compared to CY 2012. The WLAN market, however, grew by a whopping 36% in the same period.

 

Such exponential growth results from the proliferation of smart devices coupled with the need for mobile connectivity, spurring demand for a wireless last mile connection. Network infrastructure and networking products have become more relevant than ever.

 

In line with its mission to offering power combined with convenience, ease of use and mobility, DIGISOL introduced an array of new products during the year. These span the gamut from personal individual use to enterprise-level application. The most significant launches have been the 14.4 Mbps Dongle which enables connectivity just about anywhere; the personal hot-spot Pocket and MiFi routers. These tiny devices allow fast connection between multiple devices through a dongle or GSM SIM.

 

At the upper end, DIGISOL introduced its 300Mbps Wireless ADSL 2/2+ Broadband Router with USB Port: a high-performance ADSL router providing downstream speeds of up to 24Mbps with a built-in Access Point that permits multiple wireless clients to simultaneously access LAN resources and Internet.

 

An adjacent product launch was that of DIGISOL’s 300Mbps Wireless Router, designed to provide a superior wireless signal for home networks. The router supports wireless 802.11 b/g/n and security protocols such as WEP, WPA and WPA2.

 

 

Security and Surveillance Products:

 

The year also saw the introduction of a new range of security products under the DIGISOL CCTV camera range, with an extensive product portfolio spanning Bullet cameras, Dome cameras and 4 to 16 channel DVRs, suitable for both home and office security solution. A key benefit is of effectively viewing the security feed over one’s smartphone or tablet at any location.

 

 

DIGILITE

 

Motherboards:

 

The motherboard market worldwide is decreasing with users shifting to notebooks and tablets. With the corporate and SMB segments expected to grow at a higher rate, motherboard vendors have been increasing focus on small form factor PCs and penetration into Class B & C cities which will drive the segment.

 

Vendors are trying to differentiate and gain share through aggressive bundling of processors and motherboards, service and support are becoming key factors in gaining market share. There is also a growing demand for motherboards that are energy-efficient and ‘green’.

 

In spite of the numerous players in the market, DIGILITE continued to distinguish itself among motherboard  brands in India, especially with its high-end Intel and AMD products known for the robustness and dependable quality.

 

As a valuable extension of its range, DIGILITE forayed into the domain of peripherals and accessories with the introduction of its range of stylish, colorful and high-capacity Powerbanks, ranging from 5200 mAH to 6600 mAH charging power.

 

Powerbanks cater to the market created by exploding sales of smart phones and tablet PCs, which could run out of power at any time or location, seriously inconveniencing the user. The Powerbanks deliver the fastest possible charge to the device and automatically halt the charging process on completion. They are a vital defence against the dangers of voltage overages, short circuits, over currents and other electrical hazards.

 

 

DIGITAB

 

Tablets:

 

“In FY2013-14, tablet sales in India stood at 1.9 million units with revenues surpassing US$2 billion but the growth in tablet demand will surpass 3.9 million units in FY2014-15”.

 

Seeing an opportunity almost tailor-made for its capabilities, Smartlink entered the tablet market with its DIGITAB line of tablets. In a field already approaching saturation with competing brands, Smartlink saw a chance to deploy its particular strengths and its edge in sourcing and customization.

 

Smartlink’s other marketplace differentiators are its well-established nationwide sales and service channel network further strengthened by the multi-locational DIGICARE, and its pre-existing penetration into the enterprise and SME segments, where the tablet category is rapidly gaining popularity.

 

According to Gartner, by 2017, nearly half of first-time computer purchases in India will be tablets; making use of such positive predictions, DIGITAB introduced three models in February 2014, with an eye to capture a customer base ranging from students to professionals seeking a practical and price-competitive tablet.

 

Built on the Android™ operating system, the new compact, full-featured tablets are powered by a dual-core processor, enabling users to multitask at business and recreational usages from email and web surfing to gaming

and streaming. All devices come equipped with front and rear camera for photos and video chats. High quality coupled with advanced technology are distinct and desirable brand attributes that DIGITAB commands, assuring users of a perfect fit with all their computingcum- networking needs. Smartlink will also be working closely with its SI community to target BFSI and Education sectors, while also engaging its strong IT & Telecom channels to access the end-customer.

 

 

DIGICARE

 

DIGICARE is a well known brand in providing high level repair/RMA services to various MNC brands. It has emerged as a preferred vendor for many MNC brands on account of its brand neutral service policies and strict adherence to customer SLAs.

 

DIGICARE has a nationwide presence through its 15 direct service centres and 46 partner managed service centres across the country. It also has a highly efficient, skilled and professional service infrastructure with capabilities to cater to the latest technologies.

 

Smartlink Technical Assistance Centre provides customer support on voice, email and chat with a wide range of technological skills as well as various levels of trouble shooting in LAN, Adapters, Switches, Routers, Broadband, Wireless Security, VoIP, Surveillance, Storage and 3G products.

 

DIGICARE is now expanding its reach and capabilities to support the new generation of devices like notebooks, tablets and smart phones.
