Letter to the shareholder

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to report a third consecutive quarter of sequential double digit revenue growth rate in dollar terms. Consolidated revenues under Indian GAAP increased by 44.4% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal, while consolidated net profits before minority interest grew by 50.0%. Revenues for the nine month period crossed the Rs 10,000 crore mark. In US GAAP terms, revenues are up by 46.9% over the corresponding quarter last fiscal. Consequently, we revised our revenue guidance under US GAAP for the year to 43.6% from 40.6% - 41.1% provided in October 2006 and 28.0% - 30.0% provided in April 2006.

Even as the rupee appreciated against all major currencies during the quarter, we were able to maintain our margins. The pricing environment remains stable with an upward bias.

We added 6,062 employees (net 3,282) during the quarter. As of December 31, 2006, our total strength, including subsidiaries, stands at 69,432.

Our investments in enriching and synergizing our portfolio of services have created compelling value propositions for our clients, who are leveraging our capability to drive their transformation programs. At the end of the quarter, we had 108 clients contributing over $5 million, 11 clients over $50 million, and 2 clients over $100 million.

We added 43 clients during the quarter and saw accelerated growth in Europe, which continues to be a key focus area for us. In the US, a leading US grocery chain chose Infosys to enhance its IT systems to support warehouse operations and improve business-IT alignment. A global leader in networking has selected Infosys as its preferred partner for its business-critical Customer Ordering Experience (COE) program. In the UK, Infosys is transforming the customer service processes of a major energy and utilities company and providing maintenance support to two business-critical applications of a leading insurance provider.

Package Implementation, Business Process Management and Testing services and product revenues grew faster during the quarter. A large European certification company went live on a customer relationship management (CRM) system implemented by Infosys. We are establishing Testing Centers of Excellence (CoE) for a leading manufacturer and marketer of skincare, fragrance and hair-care products, as well as a leading North American bank.

Finacle®, the universal banking solution from Infosys, was named a leader in a study of retail banking platforms released by a leading analyst. Finacle® registered a key win this quarter - a large nationalized bank in India with about 1,200 branches. Two other banks, one each in Africa and India, went live with Finacle® core banking. New versions were rolled out at ICICI Bank - UK operations, Bank of Rajasthan and ANZ Bank.

Infosys BPO continued its growth momentum. In a first-of-its-kind contract win in the Indian BPO industry, the subsidiary has been engaged by one of the largest integrated oil companies in the world to deliver a wide range of indirect procurement services including third-party hiring, commodity sourcing, indirect services sourcing, and supplier performance management. Infosys BPO inaugurated a 900-seat center in Jaipur and announced plans to increase its capacity over the next 3-5 years. Further, the company was ranked among the top 100 companies in the Deloitte Fast 500 Asia Pacific program.

Infosys Consulting Inc. worked with clients as a trusted partner to support their IT strategy for transformation. A large pharmaceutical company is partnering with our subsidiary to develop a master strategy for data management. A top North American food retailer has sought its expertise to devise an e-commerce strategy for providing a comprehensive customer experience.

During the quarter, Infosys completed a sponsored secondary offering of 3,00,00,000 American Depositary Shares (ADS), representing 3,00,00,000 equity shares (one equity share represents one ADS) at a price of US$ 53.50 per ADS excluding underwriting discounts and commissions. The aggregate size of the offering exceeded US$ 1.6 billion, making it the largest international equity offering from India.

On December 18, 2006 Infosys was added to the NASDAQ-100 Index, which comprises the 100 largest non-financial stocks on the NASDAQ Stock Market in terms of market capitalization. Infosys is the first Indian company to be added to the NASDAQ-100 Index and is the only Indian company to be part of any of the major global indices.

We enter the final quarter of this fiscal with renewed commitment to making Infosys a $3 billion company. We thank all Infoscions on your behalf.
