What I am going to do is essentially in the abbreviated version and the time that we have, we will run you through a very quick presentation.

You will know that financial services is actually our largest practice and our sweet spot and we have done a significant number of things, lot of them are pending to become more commoditized or more generalized and we clearly see the need for differentiating ourselves in terms of the value proposition referring to the table. So, Nandan talked a lot about the things flat. So, I am just going to quickly explain all those parts here in terms of what is happening with regard to that in financial services. Opening up of emerging economies is a big play in terms of the power shift if you will more towards Asia. India and China continue to be extremely big players. Structural shift in demographics, this is about especially in the U.S.

Infosys BPO –CEO INTERVIEWER Udayan Mukherjee-CNBC Mitali Mukherjee – CNBC 1 Udayan Mukherjee Good morning, thanks for joining in. Kris, the Street was expecting that you would be able to raise your dollar revenue guidance from 18%-20%. You stopped short of doing that. Why? Kris Gopalakrishnan We have had good volume growth this quarter, 4% volume growth. We believe that this year we are going to see an even growth rather than a front-loaded or back-ended growth in some sense. We wanted to watch how the situation unfolds given that there are still uncertainties in the US market and European market. So even though we have done better than we expected and what we have guided, we felt that it is better to leave it at this point as 18%-20% for the year. Udayan Mukherjee Shibu just take us through what is going on with the volume growth because some people might have expected that in Q1 and Q2 you will be hitting that 5.5% to 6% kind of volume growth numbers but Kris is saying that it will be evenly spread out this year.
