106 | Applabs
Focus on India emerged as one of the key themes for Applabs during FY 08,
and further appointed its current president and COO, Makarand Teje as the CEO.
The company also grew its service portfolio to performance testing with the
Indian market and customers in mind. However, there was no luck with customer
wins in India. The other services that it looked at were regressing,
certification, testing automatic services, and quality process consultancy.
Globally, AppLabs struck better luck and added 26 customers during the year.

107 | Ness
Technologies India
Even with a slowdown in the technology sector, Ness Technologies continued
its India ramp-up in Bangalore. It stuck to its Extended Development Center (EDC)
model in its product development outsourcing for ISVs and managed to attract
non-ISV clients last year. Notable wins were Quintiles in the life sciences,
Pearson in publishing, and ITV in broadcasting. In the life sciences area, Ness
strengthened its presence by acquired MS9 Consulting, a specialized IT services
firm with clients like Novartis and Bayer.

A good year for Epson; it increased sales across most categories and in sync,
the market share also increased. Epson remained number two in terms of market
share for the overall printer market in India with a 19% share of the pie. As
far as individual product categories are concerned, in dot matrix printers its
market share went up to 45% with 189,793 volume shipments. Meanwhile on POS
printers, Epson was the clear number one and completely dominated the market
with 52% market share.
