n All
the company revenues are from April 2007 to March 2008. Though different
companies have different financial years, we have taken April-March revenue
for each company.
n All revenues of services companies do
not include their BPO revenues. BPO companiesboth pure-play as well as the
BPO operations of multi-services firmsare covered separately in DQ Top 20
Vol III
n However, we have included BPO
manpower in total number of employees
n For
companies headquartered in India, we have take the entire IT revenue; for
companies that do business in India, we have taken the entire India IT
revenue; for non-Indian companies who export out of India, we have taken
only the revenue generated by the Indian legal entity. That holds true for
captive units as well.
n In case of companies, who have not
provided us with revenues, we have done our own estimates. For domestic
business, we have used sources like distributors, channel partners, SIs,
customers and competitors to get unit shipments and average selling value to
estimate the revenue. For export services, we have based it on average
headcount and average salary, taking into accounts factors such as the type
of work and type of services to calculate total revenue.
n In case of non-Indian companies that
have their development/delivery centers, we have added their India sales
revenue to the export revenue and present the total figure.
Disclaimer: While we have taken utmost care to stick to these
principles, there may be instances, especially with very small companies,
where we may not have succeeded in following these principlessay being able
to deduct BPO revenuecompletely. |
