Letter to the shareholder

Dear Shareholder,

We are happy to report growth in the second quarter of the fiscal. Consolidated revenues grew by 50.4% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal, while consolidated net profits increased by 53.3%. In US GAAP terms, revenues increased by 42.4% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal. Consequently, we revised our revenue guidance for the year to 40.6% - 41.1% under US GAAP from 35.4% - 35.9% provided in July.

We benefited from the marginal depreciation of the Rupee during the quarter. Margins improved despite absorbing wage increases and other strategic investments. Pricing remained stable with an upward bias.

Our continued focus on offering multiple services and our end-to-end capability in delivering solutions helped us in growing client accounts. As of September 30, 2006, 232 clients are contributing over $1 million, 12 clients over $50 million and 2 clients over $100 million. Repeat business accounts for 95.2% of our revenues.

This quarter, we added 45 clients globally and continued our growth in Europe. Among key wins are the world's premier measurement company and a leading US cable provider offering cable TV, Internet, telephony and wireless services. We commenced a multi-year, multimillion-dollar infrastructure services engagement with a $2 billion company that designs and sells Internet Protocol (IP) routers for private and public access networks. Our legacy modernization services are helping a leading insurance company improve business capabilities, introduce products to market faster, increase IT flexibility and reduce operational costs.

Our enterprise services are enabling large companies, including a top US airline and a leading Finnish sports equipment manufacturer, to become more competitive. Clients across industry verticals - notably a North American brokerage firm, two global insurance majors, and two leading North American utility companies - are leveraging our Independent Validation Services.

Finacle ®, our universal banking solution, registered wins in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, and was successfully rolled out at banks in Europe and India.

Progeon Limited, our business process outsourcing subsidiary, was renamed Infosys BPO Limited, effective August 29, 2006. Infosys BPO added 3 customers, including one of the world's largest telecom carriers and a leading US-based global provider of property, casualty and specialty insurance.

Infosys Technologies ( Shanghai) Co. Limited was renamed Infosys Technologies ( China) Co. Limited during the quarter. The subsidiary registered a number of new wins, including a leading global provider of integrated communications solutions and embedded electronic solutions, and a leading bank in Taiwan.

Our research and development arm filed for 14 patents in India and the US for process innovation in IT services. As of September 30, 2006, Infosys has filed for 58 patents in both countries.

The addition of 10,795 employees (gross), the highest in any quarter, boosted our global strength including subsidiaries to 66,150. We are increasing our investments in education and training, and improving the knowledge base of entry-level talent through the Infosys Campus Connect program. We have also put in place a long-term retention bonus plan for senior employees during the quarter.

Infosys won the 2006 SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) Human Capital Leadership Award under the Innovative Business Solutions category. The SHRM awards recognize human resource leaders who serve as essential partners in developing and executing organizational strategy. SHRM is the world's largest association devoted to Human Resource Management, representing more than 210,000 individual members worldwide.

As we enter the third quarter, we seek your support to continue our journey toward excellence and profitability. On your behalf, we thank all Infoscions.
