billion for the financial year.

Kiran Karnik, presided of Nasscom said "In 2005-06, the industry size and growth
exceeded our forecasts, reflecting strong demand. The entire software and services
industry is expected to record revenues of $36-38 billion in FY07; we expect the
ITES-BPO segment to continue its growth momentum and expect exports to cross $8
billion during FY07. The growth in the sector is being driven by steady increase in
scale and depth of existing service lines; the addition of newer vertical-specific
and emerging niche business services; continued expansion of service portfolios and
higher value processes.\"

\"In addition, the BPO industry has significant headroom to grow, with the
outsourcing potential being 12 times current revenues. The industry is likely to
continue to witness an increase in M&A activity which could lead to a significant
consolidation in the BPO industry, in the process creating world scale players,\" he
added.

The major focus of industry will be on how to make India as the prominent hub for
global outsourcing and make Indian companies more competent in rising competitive
environment.

Following three major services are provided by ITES companies in India.

. Human Resource Administration
. Customer services

These three services alone are contributing nearly 90% to revenue for the industry.
This growth is expected to continue without any significant change in current fiscal
year 2006-2007, industry sources said.

. Recruitment by the leading ITES companies. Employment has risen by 32% approx.
. Besides overseas, domestic market has also witnessed significant growth with
