Dear Shareholders, 2005-06 has been a defining year for Tata Consultancy Services, in many ways. This is the first Annual Report of the Company since it went public in August 2004 that captures the Company’s performance over four quarters. The leader of the Indian IT industry for the last 35 years, the Company has just commenced its journey as a public company and made a smooth and successful transition by adopting governance measures as well as enhancing its communication and brand building activities with the media, analysts and investors and ensuring regulatory compliance. Your Company is accelerating its activities along these dimensions. Its internal systems for knowledge management, customer relationship management and data-driven decision making have indeed matured, creating a responsible, profitable and empowered global organization. These robust foundations combined with an aggressive growth focus saw the Company entering new business segments and new markets, and helped sustain the present growth rate of 36 per cent, which continues to be higher than the industry average. Your Company has also demonstrated an ability to close its books in quick time. Through this sustained period of rapid growth, we are building our intellectual assets and creating a learning organization, confident of its abilities and talents. Over 60,000 culturally and ethnically diverse professionals from 53 nationalities, located across 35 countries, use technology to collaborate and share ideas and create innovative solutions that delight customers and deliver value. Your Company is already collaborating to address market changes brought about by future disruptive technologies. Simultaneously, we are also defining the next level of internal digitization that these developments will necessitate. Innovation-led change is the common thread binding your Company’s overall strategy. We function in a highly dynamic business environment which demands almost immediate responsiveness. Through a series of innovative steps, using organic and inorganic methods, your Company has emerged as a scale player in the IT services industry worldwide. Your Company’s ability to deliver total solutions from conception to implementation, its knowledge of technology and business as well as its world-class project management capabilities have propelled it into the top league of global consultants. With over 6 per cent of your Company’s employees being non-Indian, we are creating a multi-cultural global organization that operates in an enriched and inclusive atmosphere of collaboration and excellence.
