The Indian IT sector is growing rapidly and it has already made its presence felt in
all parts of the world. IT has a major role in strengthening the economic and technical
foundations of India. Indian professionals are setting up examples of their proficiency in
IT, in India as well as abroad.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
2
CONCEPTUAL BACKGROUND
India is the world's largest sourcing destination, accounting for approximately 55 per cent
of the US$ 185-190 billion market in 2017-18. India‟s highly qualified talent pool of
technical graduates is one of the largest in the world and the country has a low-cost
advantage by being 5-6 times inexpensive than US.
Revenue of India‟s IT industry reached US$ 167 billion and exports stood at US$ 126
billion in 2017-18. Export revenue from digital segment forms about 20 per cent of the
industry‟s total export revenue.
Total export revenue of the industry is expected to grow 7-9 per cent year-on-year to US$
135-137 billion in FY19. However, IT services exports are projected to add US$ 10
billion in FY19 to reach US$ 126 billion by the end of the year. Further, India‟s IT-BPM
sector is expected to expand to US$ 350 billion by 2025 and BPM is expected to account
for US$ 50-55 billion out of the total revenue. Moreover, revenue from the digital
segment is expected to form 38 per cent of the total industry revenue by 2025. IT industry
employs nearly 3.97 million people in India of which 105,000 were added in FY18. The
industry added around 105,000 jobs in FY18 and is expected to add over 250,000 new
jobs in 2019. Hardware exports from India are expected to grow at 7-8 per cent in FY19^.

The computer software and hardware sector in India attracted cumulative Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) inflows worth US$ 33.36 billion between April 2000 and September
2018 and ranks second in inflow of FDI, as per data released by the Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
The Government of India has extended tax holidays to the IT sector for software
technology parks of India (STPI) and Special Economic Zones (SEZs). Further, the
country is providing procedural ease and single window clearance for setting up facilities.
Also, the government has identified Information Technology as one of the 12 champion
service sectors for which an action plan is being developed. It will set up a Rs 5,000 crore
(US$ 745.82 million) fund for realising the potential of these champion service sectors.
The Information Technology (IT) sector in India holds the distinction of advancing the
country into the new-age economy. The growth momentum attained by the overall
economy since the late 1990s to a great extent can be owed to the IT sector, well
supported by a liberalized policy regime with reduction in telecommunication cost
and import duties on hardware and software. Perceptible is the transformation since
liberalization - India today is the world leader in information technology and business
outsourcing. Correspondingly, the industry‟s contribution to India‟s GDP has grown
significantly from 1.2% in 1999-2000 to around 4.8% in FY06, and has been estimated to
cross 5% in FY07. The sector has been growing at an annual rate of 28% per annum since
FY01. Indian IT companies have globally established their superiority in terms of cost
advantage, availability of skilled
manpowerand the quality of services. They have been enhancing their global service deli
verycapabilities through a combination of organic and inorganic growth initiatives.
Global giants like Microsoft, SAP, Oracle, and Lenovo have already established their
captive centers in India. These companies recognize the advantage India offers and the
fact that it is among the fastest growing IT markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

The sector can be classified into these broad categories:-
1. IT Services
2. Engineering Services
3. ITES-BPO Services
4. E-Business
IT Services
Engineering Services
ITES-BPO Services
These are services that use telecom networks or the Internet. For example, RemoteMainte
nance, Back Office Operations, Data Processing, Call Centers,
Business ProcessOutsourcing, etc.
E Business:
(Electronic business) is carrying out business on the Internet; it includes buying and
selling, serving customers and collaborating with business partners.

Nasscom optimistic about IT Industry
However, Chandrashekhar sounded optimistic saying the mood is upbeat and the trend is
positive, which should translate into better business opportunities.R Chandrashekhar,
who spoke with the media along with Nasscom Chairman Raman Roy, Vice-Chairman
Rishad Premji and President-designate Debjani Ghosh said that the possibility for growth
will be unlocked by policy support that decreases regulatory barriers, for which they
continue to work with the government. The domestic revenues are anticipated to increase
at 10 to 12 % annually, while exports, the mainstay may lag in FY19. Starting in a slow
mode, the 2017-18 financial year saw an encouraging growth in the second half as the
financial year is anticipated to close with revenues of $167 billion. Nasscom chairman
Roy has shown hope that the IT sector may add 100,000 new jobs during Financial Year
2019, which is 50 % lower than what it had forecasted for FY18, attributing the job loss
in IT industry to the hiring of techies in other industry verticals. Nasscom in June 2017
had predicted flat growth rate for FY18. Generally, Nasscom announces annual
prediction in February. However, it was deferred owing to the Visa issues in the US and
other global headwinds. Chandrashekhar further added that headwinds are very much
there. However, some unpredictability eased off. The sector is facing multiple headwinds,
but the overall industry continues to grow in customer base and domestic needs. The
6
general global trend is upward, but the impact on the industry is translating over a tenure
as some challenges impact overall good results

based corporation which entered the business with the supply of programmers to IT
companies located overseas.
Till 1984, IT was not considered as an industry and was not given any subsidies. In 1984,
some strategic reforms were made and considered IT as an industry. In the same year,
Indian Government introduced a policy, New Computer Policy (NCP), which consisted
of a package of slashed import tariffs on hardware and software. And the policy also
recognized the software exports as a „delicensed industry‟. Delicensed industry is eligible
for bank finances, free from the license-permit and to set up offshore units of foreign
companies in India.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The review of the available literature shows that although there are a number of studies
on the different aspects of capital market, there is no specific comprehensive study on the
attitudes, aspirations and perceptions of individual investors. The present study is an
attempt to fill this gap to a certain extent.
2. Gupta (1972)
In this researcher he has studied about the working of stock exchanges in India and has given
a number of suggestions to improve its working. The study highlights the need to regulate
the volume of speculation so as to serve the needs of liquidity and price continuity. It
suggests the enlistment of corporate securities in more than one stock exchange at the
same time to improve liquidity. The study also wishes the cost of issues to be low, in
order to protect small investors.
3. Rohatgi (1973)
This research explains that the basic function of the stock market is to provide ready
marketability or liquidity to holdings of securities. The ideal stock market is one that
can provide instantaneous and unlimited liquidity. But it is reasonable to assume that a pr
udentlong-term investor in equities would provide for his immediate cash needs. This is
in agreement with the three motives of liquidity preference. If so, one would expect not
10
`instant‟ liquidity, but moderate liquidity. It will be unreasonable for any investor to
suppose that his equity holdings are as good as cash.
5. Khan (1976)
This study of researcher examines the role, and the cost of raising funds from the market.
The study goes on to suggest appropriate measures to enable the NIM to play a part in
consonance with the requirements of the planned growth of industry. The core of the
study deals with the new issues and company finance, the structure of underwriting, and
the cost of capital. The study has important policy implications in terms of its relevance
to the national economy. In the process of industrialization, a developed NIM would be
instrumental in forging an organic link between the collection and distribution of
industrial capital.
6. Blume and Friend (1978)
This study states that the proportion of stock owned by institutional investors in America
has increased sharply, while that owned by individual investors has decreased. They
analyze the effects of the shift in stock ownership from individuals to institutions on the
efficiency of equity market. They also examine, the pros and cons of numerous proposals
for improving
the securities market. Transactions by individuals have always been regarded as essential
to both liquidity and the efficiency of the market.
7. Panda (1980)
In this, researcher has studied the role of stock exchanges in India before and after
independence. The study reveals that listed stocks covered four-fifths of the joint stock
sector companies. Investment in securities was no longer the monopoly of any particular
11
class or of small group of people. It attracted the attention of a large number of small and
middle class individuals. It was observed that a large proportion of savings went in the
first instance into purchase of securities already issued.
8. Gupta (1981)
This research is an extensive study titled `Return on New Equity Issues' which states that
the investment performance of new issues of equity shares, especially those of new
companies, deserve separate analysis. The factor significantly influencing the rate of
return on new issues to the original buyers is the `fixed price' at which they are issued.
The return on equities includes dividends and capital appreciation. The study presents
sound estimates of rates of return on equities, and examines the variability of such returns
over time. The findings of this study suggest that the market seems to function largely on
a `hit or miss' basis rather than on the basis of informed beliefs about the long-term
prospects of individual enterprises. The main reason for the market's irrationality appears
to be the preponderance of speculative influences over investment influences.
9. Gujarathi (1981)
This study of researcher answers the question of the risk - adjusted return in the issue
market. It is a significant work in the field of new issues in India. The difficulty of
estimating the risk (Beta) of newly issued securities forced Guajarathi to use complicated
methodology for arriving at the risk-adjusted return. His conclusion is that investors in
the new issue market in1970s earned an extra normal return of nearly 2 per cent per
month.
12
the kind of returns that investors were able to earn from their investments in equity shares
of new companies.
13
several lacunae such as higher issue and servicing costs and lesser vigilance about the
functioning of companies because of inadequate knowledge.

Ratio Analysis:-
21
Return on Investment (ROI):
ROI is the return on capital invested in business, i.e., if an investment Rs. 1 crore in men,
machines, land and material is made to generate Rs. 25 lakhs of net profit, then the ROI is
25%. The computation of return on investment is as follows:
Return on Investment (ROI) = (Net profit/Equity investments) x 100
As this ratio reveals how well the resources of a firm are being used, higher the ratio,
better are the results. The return on shareholder‟s investment should be compared with th
e return of other similar firms in the same industry. The inert-firm comparison of this
ratio determines whether the investments in the firm are attractive or not as the investors
would like to invest only where the return is higher.
Return on Equity:
Return on equity measures how much an equity shareholder's investment is actually
earning. The return on equity tells the investor how much the invested rupee is earning
from the company. The higher the number, the better is the performance of the company
and suggests the usefulness of the projects the company has invested in. The
computation of return on equity is as follows:
Return on equity = (Net profit to owners/value of the specific owner's Contribution
to the business) x 100
The ratio is more meaningful to the equity shareholders who are invested to know profits
earned by the company and those profits which can be made available to pay dividend to
them.
22
calculated for a number of years indicate whether or not earning power of the company
has increased.
Dividend Yield:
Dividend yield is computed by relating the dividend per share to the market price of the
share. The market place provides opportunities for the investor to buy the company‟s
share at any point of time. The price at which the share has been bought from the market
23
is the actual cost of the investment to the shareholder. The market price is to be taken as
the cum-dividend price. Dividend yield relates the actual cost to the cash flows received
from the company. The computation of dividend yield is as follows
Dividend yield = (Dividend per share / Market price per share) * 100
High dividend yield ratios are usually interpreted as undervalued companies in the
market. The market price is a measure of future discounted values, while the dividend per
share is the present return from the investment. Hence, a high dividend yield implies that
the share has been under priced in the market. On the other hand a low dividend yield
need not be interpreted as overvaluation of shares. A company that does not pay out
dividends will not have a dividend yield and the real measure of the market price will be
in terms of earnings per share and not through the dividend payments. Internally for
business growth opportunities. Hence, when dividends are not declared, the entire profit
is ploughed back into the business for its future investments.
Debt-to-Equity Ratio:
Debt-Equity ratio is used to measure the claims of outsiders and the owners against the
firm‟s assets.
24
Debt-to-equity ratio = Outsiders Funds / Shareholders Funds
The debt-equity ratio is calculated to measure the extent to which debt financing
has been used in a business. It indicates the proportionate claims of owners and the
Outsiders against the firm‟s assets. The purpose is to get an idea of the cushion available
to outsiders on the liquidation of the firm.
Debt to Equity ratio = Long term debts/ Equity share holder fund
EPS = Earnings available to Equity share holder/ No of Equity shares
Current ratio= current assets/ current liability
P/E ratio= Market value per share/ Earning per share (EPS)
A. Debt to Equity ratio = Long term debts/ Equity share holder fund.
25
Analysis:
Researcher see that debt to equity ratio in mar 2014 was 0.00 and in mar 2015 it was0.01
and next year in mar 2016 it again came to 0.00 and still the same.
Interpretation:
Debt to equity ratio of company is 0.00 in the year of 2014 and it go up to 0.01 in
2015and after this year again it is decreasing and came in 0.00 debt and after that is not
gone up it means it is 0 Debt company. A high debt/equity ratio generally means that a
company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. This can result in volatile
earnings as a result of the additional interest expense.
26
Analysis:
From the above table it can be seen that EPS of company in 2014 was 94.17 and it is
increased in next year in 2014-15 by 4.14%. And day by day it was increasing and in the
year of 2018 it was increased by 37.69%.
Interpretation:
From the above graph it can be seen that EPS of company is increasing from2014 and
after that it cannot decrease by single percent it means company will growing well day by
day and company has performed well in EPS.
27
Analysis:
The above table shows current ratio of the company which is 3.18:1 in Mar,2014 and
decreased to 0.04:1 in next year Mar 2015. But again it increased to 0.63:1 in Mar 2016
and again decreases to 0.56:1 in year 2017-18.
Interpretation:
The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations. A
ratio under 1 suggests that the company would be unable to pay off its obligations if they
came due at that point. So for TCS, current ratio shows that they have more current assets
than current liability. As graph shows that they have potential to pay its obligation so
short term solvency for TCS is strong.
D. P/E Ratio= Market value per share/ Earning per share (EPS)
28
Analysis:
From the above calculation it can be seen that price earnings ratio of company was
decreased from 21.57 in Mar, 2014 and year by year it was decreased by 6.17 from the
year 2014 to 2018.
Interpretation:
Researcher sees that there was only decline stage in the P/E Ratio of TCS and because of
that Many investors prefer to buy the company's shares at a low P/E ratiosince the general
interpretation is that the market is undervaluing the share and there will be a correction in
the market price sooner or later. A very high P/E ratio on the other hand implies that the
company's shares are overvalued and the investor can benefit by selling the shares at this
high market price.

EPS = Earnings available to Equity share holder/ No of Equity shares
Current ratio= current assets/ current liability

3.38:1 in mar, 2015. And in after that it is increased to 4.50:1 in mar, 2016 and Less to
31
3.77:1in mar 2017. The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of
paying its obligations. A ratio under 1 suggests that the company would be unable to pay
off its obligations if they came due at that point. So for Infosys, current ratio shows that
they have more current assets than current liability.
Interpretation:
According to researcher company shows a good potential as they have morethan ideal
ratio 2:1 in last 5 years. Current ratio is stable in last 5 years.
D. P/E ratio= Market value per share/ Earning per share (EPS)
