Where are They Putting the Money
|
|
Pharma and BPO sectors spent
the maximum in 2006-07 on hardware as well as software. In general, even
amongst emerging enterprises, BFSI has been a frugal spender, probably
because this sector is relatively mature; while banks on an average spent
Rs 14 lakh, stock brokers shelled out Rs 12 lakh only |
|
|
|
|
Going ahead, BPOs, pharma,
gems & jewelry as well as the white goods sectors plan to spend
heavily on hardware in 2007-08; auto ancillaries and white goods plan to
spend substantially on IT services too |
