44|Syntel India : Syntel-ating Tale
Notwithstanding the US slowdown and its impact on tier-2 IT services companies, Syntel hiked its market guidance for the coming quarters. The secret behind the companys positivism is the way Syntel has managed to balance its four offerings: applications outsourcing (68.2%), BPO (14.7%), e-business services (12.3%), and team sourcing consulting (4.8%).

Keshav R Murugesh, President & COO

Highlights
u Major push in Europe (it accounts for 5% of the overall revenues), with appointment of new head of operations
u
 Added 25 clients last year, with the largest client accounting for 18% of the overall revenues
u
 Started construction on new Chennai campus

l Start-up Year: 1992 l Products & Services: IT services, BPO l Employees: 11,709 l Branches: 34 l Address: Unit 69, SDF III, SEEPZ, Andheri (East), Mumbai-400 096 l Tel:+91-022- 4047 0100 l Fax:+91-022- 2829 1179 l Website: www.syntelinc.com

BFSI continued to be the mainstay for Syntel, accounting for 65% of revenues. The company also made impressive moves in healthcare (15%). Syntel has been continuously improving on the onshore-offshore ratio (current 29:71), especially with IT services where the onshore ratio is a bit higher. However, with the top 10 clients, including American Express, Daimler, Lowes, JP Morgan Chase, Oracle, and FedEx contributing 70%, any significant loss from a key customer could terribly upset Syntels applecart.

Though Syntel too is an American company, with a predominantly Indian delivery arm like its DQTop50 peer Cognizant, unlike the latter, this company made a few bold moves on the domestic front. Its big win of Reliance Money as a client bears ample testimony.

45|Teledata Informatics : Education Pays
After restructuring, Teledata Informatics has reported standalone revenue for our survey, which explains its exit from the DQTop20 list. The low-profile company has grown primarily by providing package educational institution management and utility software in the US and UAE markets. In India, it also executes turnkey projects in the education sector, a notable one being the Sarvashiksha Abhiyan in states like Gujarat, Nagaland, and Arunachal Pradesh. The Gujarat contract was worth Rs 20 crore; another major one being the Rs 73 crore project from the Bihar State Electronics Development Corporation. However, after the much-flaunted Utkal University order a few years back, it has not been able to replicate that success in higher education.

Gp Capt K Balasubramanian, Chairman

Highlights
u Software for the education vertical accounted for Rs 530.5 crore while the utility vertical brought in Rs 491.7 crore
u
 Developed Lighthouse, an enterprise-wide learning management solution
u
 Plans to foray into the utility sector in the domestic market

l Start-up Year: 1990 l Employees: 831 l Products & Services: e-Learning, education, technologies, and utilities software solutions l Address: 2AB, Gee Gee Emerald 151, Village Road Nungambakkam, Chennai-600034 l Fax: +91-44-42207051
l Website: www.teledatain.com

With a revenue contribution of Rs 993 crore from package software exports, Teledata stands out in the Indian IT sector as an exporter of package software from Indianot the traditional strength of Indian companies. USA accounted for 30% of the companys export revenue, while UAE brought in 20%.
