MUMBAI: Software firms that were banking on a revival in the second half of the fiscal can take some cheer from the words of Gartner’s top man in India.
Partha Iyengar, who heads the India arm of the global research organisation, says the collapse of Lehman and other financial giants will not significantly worsen the slowdown for software firms and a revival could be in the offing before the fiscal end.
“Software firms are already in a slowdown. I don’t see that trajectory changing because of the events of last week. The December quarter will follow the quarter we are in currently. We will start seeing an uptake after the US elections. The sentiment will start to shift after that and software companies may recoup some of the losses they made in the earlier quarter in the fourth quarter,” Iyengar, vice-president, Gartner India, told ET.
Contrary to the gloom inspired by the fresh bout of bad news, his outlook for FY09 remains ‘cautiously optimistic’ and that for FY10 ‘fairly optimistic’ with growth returning to earlier levels. Iyengar said there were big differences across the key IT markets.
There was a higher level of uncertainty and close to a sense of panic among IT buyers in the US and UK (because of its proximity to US). But companies in Asia-Pacific, while being cautious, were going ahead with their IT projects. The sentiment among European buyers fell somewhere between Asia Pacific and US buyers, he said.
Since the events of last week, the BSE-IT index has lost 167 points over worries dogging some of the largest customers of Indian IT companies. Merrill is one of the top financial services clients for number one software exporter Tata Consultancy Services, while Wipro and HCL Tech have exposure to Lehman.
On Monday, outsourcing firm eClerx Services Ltd, which went public less than year ago, said it had outstanding receivables of $1 million from Lehman. The collapsed investment bank was one of its top five clients, accounting for about 13 per cent of revenues.
However, Iyengar said some of the consolidation among large financial services players such as Bank of America’s acquisition of Merrill Lynch and Lloyd TSB’s takeover of HBOS would provide huge integration opportunities for IT firms.
“It’s true, there will be some redundancies and IT vendor consolidation but they will take time to play out. The bigger issue will be the integration opportunity it creates in the near-term, integration is the biggest single issue for banks,” he said.
The most significant difference between the last slowdown in 2001-02 and the current one was the ‘incredible amount of credibility’ Indian firms have built. Gartner is also advising IT firms not go back on job offers they have already made and not cut too deep to the bone when they rationalise recruitment.
“Resources (people) tend to have fairly long memories, and when the company gets back to hire-mode, you don’t want it to have negative impact,” he added.

CHENNAI: Bankrupt financial giant Lehman Brothers Holdings, which is selling off its North American businesses and operating assets to Barclays Capital, owes around $5.5 million to as many as eight Indian companies such as Wipro, TCS, eClerx and Polaris.
This information came out after the troubled investment bank filed documents with the United States Bankruptcy Court (Southern District of New York) recently.
Lehman Brothers and the entities controlled by them owe around $2.3 million to Wipro, $1.39 million to TCS, $0.56 million to data analytics provider eClerx Services, according to available data. Other companies include Polaris ($0.51 million), L&T Infotech ($0.3 million), Satyam ($0.25 million), HCL Tech and Cognizant.
It also owes money to Tata Communications’ US subsidiary VSNL America. The exact quantum of amount with respect to the Tata company could not be ascertained, but sources indicate that Barclays may not assume the amounts owed by Lehman entities to VSNL America.
A Wipro spokesperson declined to comment citing upcoming quarterly results while a mail sent to TCS was unanswered. eClerx in a statement to Bombay Stock Exchange on Monday said that outstanding receivables from Lehman amounted to nearly $1 mn and that it earned 13 per cent of accrued FY09 revenues from this client.
With Judge James Peck approving the sale of Lehman’s North American operations to Barclays recently, it is likely that the latter will pay the outstanding amounts to most of the Indian companies. But new appeals already filed by some hedge funds and other creditors may complicate and stretch the pay-back time, until the deal is executed, it is learnt.

PUNE: The University of Pune (UoP) and semiconductor giant Intel India on Monday announced a joint initiative in order to create a specialised workforce in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) layout design, required by the semiconductor industry.
The programme aims at tapping talented postgraduate and undergraduate science students and generating awareness about the opportunities that exist for basic science passouts, in specialised fields like VLSI design.
Initially, the focus will be on M.Sc students from UoP’s department of electronic science (DoES) and undergraduate students will later be covered later in areas such as custom layout for integrated circuits (IC) design.
VLSI refers to the process of creating integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistor-based circuits in a single chip. The semiconductor industry is a major user of this process to create products that have wide-ranging applications across the industry.
While trained manpower employability for India’s VLSI design industry is pegged at 7.80 lakh by 2015, the industry continues to grapple with a huge demand-supply gap for competent professionals.
As part of its corporate social responsibility activity, Intel runs a dedicated higher education (IHE) progamme that focusses on technology curriculum, research with universities, student programmes and technology entrepreneurship. It is through IHE that Intel got into the country’s ‘first-of-its-kind tie-up’ involving a university electronic science department.
While the tie-up was jointly announced by Pandit Vidyasagar, director, UoP’s board of college and university development, and Manav Subodh, corporate affairs head for Intel India’s south-west region — the foundation was laid last year when UoP DoES and Intel started a pilot project to train 10 M.Sc students in VLSI layout design.
Senior DoES faculty member S.V. Ghaisas said, “Intel helped us install the Cadence software tools required for IC mask design studies, which is a key stepping stone to advanced learning in VLSI design.” The select students underwent a six-month special internship programme at Intel’s India headquarters in Bangalore as well as at other companies like Sasken, he said. “Barring one student, who went for MS studies abroad, the rest got jobs at leading companies,” said Ghaisas.
Interacting with reporters, Subodh conceded that joint initiatives like these needed to be scaled up further to meet the huge manpower requirement. “What we have attempted here is to explore the niche areas where the universities have a strength and work towards structured programmes,” he said. The idea was also to retain the interest of basic science students in such niche areas, he added.
On his part, Vidyasagar said that the tie-up forms a key element of the UoP’s thrust on greater industry-institute interaction. “We want such joint initiatives to work as sort of integrated finishing schools that ensure direct employability for students,” he said.
