The future looks exciting and positive as the IT industry is evolving dramatically in terms of scale and complexity. The sector will leverage collaboration, innovation, technology shifts and build a transformational agenda for India.

Digital disruption is another major trend that will create new tech sector opportunities. The ubiquity of bandwidth, low-cost computing, data and storage has created a new breed of network-based businesses. These businesses aren't tied to physical assets.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

IT INDUSTRY REVIEW

Driven by an improvement in the global economic climate and rise in the technology spend, FY2014 brought optimism for the Indian IT industry. Rapid technology transformation is leading to altered and dynamic client engagement, which in turn is fueling business transfiguration, speeding up delivery services, and driving innovation capabilities across practices and operations. In FY2015, export revenue is projected to grow by 13-15%. Domestic revenues for the same period will grow at a rate of 9-12% during this year.

 

A gradual revival in consumer confidence leading to return of discretionary spending, and increased demand from US and other countries will help drive exports this year. While US continues to be the largest geographic market for India, the highlight for the year will be revival in demand from Europe, Indian IT continues to remain the highest impact sector for India among all industries with the highest relative share in India's GDP and exports among all services industries.

OVERALL PERFORMANCE

Revenue from operations for the financial year 2014-15 at Rs.1142.78 Lakhs was marginally higher over last year (Rs.1128.67 Lakhs in 2013-14). Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) was Rs.89.68 Lakhs against EBITDA of Rs.113.95 Lakhs in 2013-14. Profit after tax (PAT) for the year was Rs.1.26 Lakhs over the PAT of Rs.71.43 Lakhs in 2013-14 (which included profit on sale of investment).
