“Fiscal 2003 was a challenging year for the Indian software industry,” said Nandan M. Nilekani, CEO, President and Managing Director. “The Global Delivery Model has become mainstream as offshore outsourcing gains momentum. However, the uncertainties relating to the US economy continues to have an impact on the industry growth.”

“Our growth was made possible by the hard work and dedication of all Infoscions,” said S. Gopalakrishnan, Member of the Board and COO. “The employee addition has been quite strong during the year. We have moved to a role-based organization and have increased the salaries of our employees for the next year. In addition, we have taken further steps to align compensation to their job roles and their performance.”

“The pricing pressure continues. The decline in blended revenue productivity has been partly offset by improved utilization,” said S. D. Shibulal, Member of the Board and Head – Customer Delivery.

“Clients are consolidating their external spend with a few key partners. In this context, companies with a strong track record stand to gain,” said Basab Pradhan, Head – Worldwide Sales and Senior Vice President. “During the quarter, there were some cancellations of visits by clients and prospects due to the Iraq war and the SARS scare.”

Infosys continued to strengthen its presence in the financial services industry with new client and project wins. The company completed the launch of a new client account analysis and reporting tool for one of the largest private banking businesses in the world. In addition, the North American subsidiary of a

global insurance brokerage engaged Infosys for developing IT solutions in the policy management and premium accounting functions.

Infosys and Microsoft worked together with a leading telecom company in the Asia Pacific region for developing a ‘proof of concept’ using the .NET platform for its ‘Next Generation OSS’ system. Nextel Partners Inc., a leading provider of digital wireless communications services, has selected Infosys for testing its upcoming billing system software. In Europe, Infosys extended its customer base in the telecom space with the addition of TeliaSonera, a leading telecommunication services provider.

“The weak economic environment coupled with the pressure on billing rates and a stronger rupee has exerted tremendous pressure on the margins,” said T. V. Mohandas Pai, Member of the Board and Chief Financial Officer. “We are proactively managing costs to meet margin challenges. We are delighted to have a strong cash position.”
