IPPs – Be careful what you wish for!

IPPs – or ‘Indian pure-plays’, the in-vogue term for India-centric IT and BP services suppliers – have long held the dream of being recognised as global services companies in their own right, rather than Indian offshore services firms serving foreign markets.

Well, that recognition comes at a considerable cost!

In our largest ever issue of OffshoreViews, TechMarketView Managing Partner Anthony Miller explains how IPPs are finding themselves competing on a level playing field with top-tier North American and European competitors, and shows why their quest to ‘break linearity’ – i.e. decouple revenue growth from headcount growth – has mostly failed.

We also look in more detail at Capgmini’s $4bn acquisition of India-centric IGATE and compare Indian delivery levels of the ‘enhanced’ Capgemini with its leading North American and European peers.

Plus we look at the prospects of the top five IPPs, and:

• Show how TCS could realise its dream of becoming a truly global services player with just one acquisition
• Explain why Wipro’s ‘camel code’ approach to DevOps could end up giving clients the hump
• Reveal how Cognizant’s digital story is as much about the messenger as it is the message
• Rationalise why Infosys is dreaming the impossible dream
• Question whether HCL’s peer-leading infrastructure services growth is maxed out.

And as usual, OffshoreViews includes insightful financial and operating metrics for the leading IPPs with our latest estimates for worldwide and UK performance.

This is the one issue of OffshoreViews you simply cannot afford to miss!
