Abstract:
Netscribes latest market research report titled Cardiac Pacemaker Market in India 2014 analyses how the market for medical devices is gaining prominence within the healthcare sector in India and how cardiac devices has become an indispensable part of this sector. With a large number of people in India suffering from heart problems, and an even larger portion of the population being comprised of an elderly population that is susceptible to heart-related ailments, demand for devices such as cardiac pacemakers is expected to grow steadily. This in turn will aid in the growth of the market for pacemakers. With prices now being affordable and a large number of insurance schemes and payment schemes being available to patients, there is likely to be a healthier conversion of potential consumers to actual buyers.
Majority of the players operating in the market are foreign companies with only a handful of Indian companies managing to make an impression in the market. Stiff competition exists among these players. The technological advancements and added benefits being offered by the various companies will be the key differentiator between them and the determinant of who will be most successful in this market.

Abstract:
Netscribes latest market research report titled External Defibrillator Market in India 2014 states that the demand for external defibrillators is rising in the country due to a number of reasons. Cardiovascular and other lifestyle diseases plaguing a large number of Indians has resulted in a strong case for the growth of healthcare institutions. The number of hospitals and emergency and trauma care centers being set up in the country has been increasing and this in turn is leading to a rise in the demand for defibrillators as these equipments are indispensable to any healthcare institution. Biphasic defibrillators are replacing the monophasic models in most centers and is hence growing at the cost of the latter. However, monophasic defibrillators are still experiencing some demand, especially in rural settings. On the other hand, the portability of automated external defibrillators along with its increased usage in public places such as railway stations, airports, shopping malls, etc. has ensured that this segment is exhibiting the highest growth.
There is an equal mix of domestic and foreign companies operating in the market and high competitive rivalry exist between them. While Indian companies try to provide no-frills products, foreign firms try to provide additional features in their products. As a result products of foreign companies are priced slightly higher than the products of Indian companies and these products are mostly used by top-end hospitals in tier I cities. However, the expansion of medical centers providing quality care in smaller cities and towns, is helping the Indian companies to grow as well. Overall, the market is exhibiting steady growth and promises ample opportunities to all the players operating in the market.

The document discusses whether the High Court ruling in Kirk v Industrial Relations Commission (NSW), which prevented state legislatures from altering the defining characteristics of state supreme courts, also applies to territory supreme courts. It argues that the ruling does not directly apply to territories because: 1) Territory supreme courts are not mentioned in the constitution and did not exist at federation, so they have no defining characteristics enshrined in the constitution. 2) Territory courts are created under the territories power in s122, not under Ch III, so the same restrictions do not apply. However, it suggests a modified version of the Kirk reasoning could prevent territory legislatures from altering any supervisory powers territory supreme courts had when first established.

It argues that the ruling does not directly apply to territories because: 1) Territory supreme courts are not mentioned in the constitution and did not exist at federation, so they have no defining characteristics enshrined in the constitution. 2) Territory courts are created under the territories power in s122, not under Ch III, so the same restrictions do not apply. However, it suggests a modified version of the Kirk reasoning could prevent territory legislatures from altering any supervisory powers territory supreme courts had when first established.
This document contains announcements for Grace Christian School including: Grandparent's Day on May 4th at 10:30am, a parent seminar on May 4th in the evening, opportunities to support the school through Red Robin and Giant Food rewards programs, information about the women's Bible study group meeting on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, a request for babysitters for that Bible study, and a notice about updating family photos in the online church directory.
The document discusses optimal markets for hidden data detection and cleansing software. It finds that the education and legal industries are likely the best markets as they deal with confidential information, use Microsoft Office and PDF files heavily, focus on enterprise needs, understand the hidden data problem, and are primarily located in the US. Specifically, education institutions on average have over 2,600 documents and legal organizations have around 500 documents that could benefit from such software.

NIIT Technologies Ltd. is initiating coverage with a "Buy" rating and target price of Rs. 644 per share. The company has undertaken several initiatives to boost growth such as acquiring Incessant Technologies and making leadership changes. International revenues are expected to grow at a 14% CAGR to Rs. 2,734 crores led by growth in the travel and transportation, BFSI, and IMS service lines.

Demand for global IT services has grown significantly in recent years while many other industries are slowing down. New technologies like cloud computing, AI, and enterprise solutions are driving incremental growth for the IT sector. Major Indian IT companies like TCS and Infosys have invested extensively in developing capabilities and have seen success in large client additions and order wins. They have helped clients effectively manage disruptions through digital transformation. Forecasts suggest acceleration in IT services spending in 2023. The Indian IT sector has consistently gained market share over the past two decades and has outperformed broader market declines during periods of volatility, making it attractive for long term investors.
Wipro reported financial results for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015. While revenue growth was in line, profit growth was below expectations due to currency headwinds.

Overall, the results were mixed with currency issues impacting profit growth.
TCS’ 1QFY15 revenue grew 5.5% QoQ to USD3.6b (and 4.8% QoQ CC), in line with estimate. EBITDA margin declined 210bp QoQ to 28.8%, v/s estimate of 29.2%. EBIT margin (26.3%) was lower than est. (27.6%) due to a one-time depreciation charge.
Syntel provides outsourced IT and KPO services to North American and European clients from facilities in India and the US. The investment thesis is that Syntel is undervalued due to downturns in its largest clients, but it can continue generating revenue from cost-cutting clients and the overall outsourcing industry is growing. A DCF valuation implies 25.9% upside to a fair value price of $56.68 per share based on a WACC of 7.4% and exit multiple of 11x EBITDA. Catalysts for appreciation include further penetration of the European market.

For the complete report, get in touch with us at: info@netscribes.com
Abstract :
Netscribes’ latest market research report titled X-Ray Equipment Market in India 2015 states that the demand for x-ray equipment in the country is increasing due to a number of factors. Healthcare sector in India is growing at a tremendous rate with a large number of hospitals and diagnostic centers being set up. X-ray machines being an indispensable part of most medical centers, the market is experiencing steady demand. The market is categorized into analog and digital segments. At present the market is experiencing a shift from analog to digital models owing to the better imaging results of the latter as well as willingness of medical centers to improve their services. The growing target base of consumers will boost sales and the market is expected to exhibit steady growth in future.
Despite the market for medical devices being mostly dominated by multinational companies, in the case of x-ray equipment, there are a large number of both domestic and foreign companies operating in the market. The presence of a large number of players has ensured there is stiff competition in the market. Companies look to outdo each other by providing additional features in their products, or by providing products with similar features at a lower price. Products from foreign companies are generally priced higher than the products of Indian companies and these products are mostly used by the top hospitals in large cities. However, with medical centers in smaller cities and towns also striving to provide quality service, Indian companies are also experiencing high demand for their products. Overall, the market for x-ray equipment is exhibiting steady growth and holds ample opportunities for the players operating in this market.

Q4FY14 Result: Bajaj Finance continues to reap the benefits of healthy consum...IndiaNotes.com
Bajaj Finance (BAF) reported a 11% year-over-year increase in 4QFY14 profit at INR1.82 billion, which was below estimates due to a decline in net interest margins from shifting loan mix to lower-yielding mortgages and higher operating expenses from ongoing investments in new business lines. Asset quality remained healthy with non-performing assets stable at 1.18% despite a corporate loan slippage. The report maintains a "Buy" rating with a target price of INR2,018, but reduces FY15/16 earnings estimates by 5-6% to factor lower margins and higher costs from the loan mix shift and investments.

OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS). Ibrahim Abuallail, PhD Candidate, University of Ottawa, presented research relating to bias in OJPs and a proposed approach to effectively adjust OJP data to complement existing official data (such as from the JVWS) and improve the measurement of labour demand.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Tier‐1 IT services companies reported a big‐miss to consensus expectation in
constant currency term in Q4FY15 (JFM‐15). However, managements were positive
on overall demand environment and expect uptick in discretionary spend in FY16.
Performance was weakened by weakness in Energy, Telecom, and Insurance vertical;
worsened by cross‐currency headwind. However, global technology majors reported
healthy beat to expectations. Retain preference for Infosys and TCS; with HCL Tech
as near term trading preference.
Growth retarded due to few verticals and CC headwinds: Tier‐1 Indian IT
reported weaker than expected constant currency revenue growth due to
challenges in Energy, Telecom and Insurance vertical. Economic activity in
Europe and US also weakened during Q4FY15. HCLT reported strongest growth
(2.7%), followed by TCS (1.6%), Wipro (1.2%), and Infosys (‐0.4%). (Exhibit: 2)
Weakness in Energy, Telecom and Insurance verticals: Energy Sector IT spend
knuckled under sharp drop in Oil prices. We anticipated sharp cut in
discretionary spend, but the weakness during the quarter was sharper than
expected. Moreover, the problems got compounded by weakness in Telecom
(slow down in capex) and Insurance verticals. The outlook for these verticals for
FY16 also is subdued.
Attrition stubborn despite weak quarter: Employee addition continues to defy
the growth pattern of Tier‐1 with Total Headcount growth of 8.8% YoY (1.7%
QoQ), despite anaemic growth. Moreover, the quarter witnessed sticky attrition
with jump in quarterly annualized attrition for TCS. We believe a part of uptick
can be attributed to involuntary attrition as well. (Exhibit: 4, 5, 6)
Cross‐currency impact for Europe, but US steady: Growth from Europe softens
due to cross currency impact, but outlook remained healthy for Europe as Indian
IT companies continue to make in‐road in newer geographies. The US was weak
during the quarter as economic activities slowed down impacting few verticals.
Global Tech majors – Beaten expectation, but order booking soft: Continuing
outperformance from previous three quarters, results of global tech majors
were touch stronger than expectation. The performance was stronger for all
companies except IBM, Juniper and Temenos. The comments were encouraging,
but order booking has been little soft. (Exhibit: 27)
Outlook for Q1FY16 (AMJ‐15) – Expect pick‐up in momentum: Global Tech
majors have delivered stronger than expected result with healthy demand
outlook. We see this as precedence for FY16 being at least as strong as FY15 for
Indian IT. Moreover, there are early signs of easing of for cross currency
headwinds. We see Q1FY16 to sprung positive surprise as we enter seasonally
strong half for Indian IT. Moreover, the challenges for few verticals peaked
during Q4FY15. We expect seasonality, healthy demand environment, easing
off CC headwinds, and INR depreciation to aid Q1FY16 performance.

Weakest since Q4FY09, but outlook healthy
Q4FY15 performance for Tier‐1 Indian IT was the weakest since Q4FY09 (quarter
after Lehman’s bankruptcy) in terms of incremental revenue addition. Moreover,
in terms of constant currency QoQ revenue growth, Q4FY15 was weakest since
Q4FY12 (onset of European crisis).

The fear of moderating growth for Tier‐1 Indian IT companies is overdone. The
performance of Tier‐1 Indian IT companies has accelerated in constant currency
term in FY15 compared to FY14. Despite growing in size, revenue growth has only
strengthened. The managements had highlighted the same at the beginning of
CY14/FY15. However, the cross currency has eroded the acceleration in FY15.
CY15 v/s CY14 – Commentary indicating further improvement: Commentaries from
Tier‐1 Indian IT Services have been positive on overall demand environment. There
are some signs of return in discretionary spends in the US, whereas demand in
Europe is driven by large cost‐takeoff outsourcing contract.

Organic v/s Inorganic argument: Bears would argue about the inorganic endeavour
by TCS (Mitsubishi‐JV), Wipro (ATCO‐deal), and HCL Tech (Alcatel‐Lucent deal).
However, the basic nature of deals available in the marketplace needs employee and
asset‐takeover. We believe more deals of similar nature to drive revenue growth for
Indian IT. Moreover, we expect M&A activity to accelerate in FY16.
Digital form integral part of most of contracts: According to managements, clients
are more open to work with vendors that can provide the roadmap to Digital
adoption. Cognizant has mentioned that ~60% of total IT contracts signed in CY14
had Digital component in it. However, high Digital contribution to revenue would
result in volatility in quarterly performance.
No major concern in BFSI: Contrary to consensus’ belief that fines for Banking and
Financial Services would restrict any increase in IT budget for Indian IT.
Managements of Indian IT companies have indicated otherwise and hinted about
return in discretionary spend (largely around Digital) in BFS as fines for the sector in
CY15 is lower than it was in CY14. We expect healthy performance from BFSI vertical
for Tier‐1 in FY16.
Trouble triad – Energy, Telecom, and Insurance: Managements indicated sharp cut
in IT Budget in Energy vertical due to weaker Crude prices. However, the
contribution of Energy sector is low to overall Tier‐1 Indian IT with Wipro being the
highest followed by TCS and Infosys. HCL Tech has nearly no exposure to Energy
vertical. Telecom and Insurance vertical will continue to witness weakness in FY16.
We expect these verticals to continue dragging the growth for Tier‐1 Indian in FY16.

Strong acceleration in employee addition, attrition remained sticky
Tier‐1 Indian IT companies witnessed steady improvement in employee addition.
Total headcount addition has accelerated over the last 5 quarters, after decelerating
for 14 consecutive quarters. Despite, strong argument of non‐linearity, productivity
and Fixed Price Projects, a large part of revenue continues to be linear for Indian IT.
We see steady improvement in employee addition as a positive read‐thru for
demand environment.
Moreover, in‐line with our hypothesis (Ref: “Attrition: HR faux‐pas or Stumbling
growth?”, May 23. 2014) attrition continues to remain stubborn despite seasonality
for TCS and Wipro. However, we have seen mean reversal for Infosys, Wipro and
HCL Tech. We expect attrition to remain high at mid‐teens in CY15 with
reacceleration in H1FY16. We expect uptick in involuntary attrition in FY16 for tier‐1
Indian IT companies.

Earnings Quality – HCLT softens further, Infosys impacted by one‐off
Infosys’ cash‐conversion (on LTM basis) weakened during the quarter due to Rs29bn
of higher cash outflow as it settles case with I‐T department. The sharp decline came
after 10 quarters sustained improvement. HCL Tech’s RoE moderated by another
80bps. The management maintains their improved outlook and indicates
sustainability of ratios. As HCL Tech lifts capex curb and goes for expansion, cash
conversion weakened. We expect similar mean reversal for current liability. HCL
Tech “Capex/Sales” witnessed uptick. We continue to remain cautious on the
sustainability of QoE at the current level for HCL Tech as it enters into investment
phase again. We believe the 2nd
wave of IMS deals could worsen the ratios.
TCS cash conversion has improved over the past 5 quarters. The management
remains optimistic about improving cash‐conversion that has started showing‐up.
Infosys continues to remain the most consistent player among peers in terms of QoE.

at 1.09x (5yr avg: 1.06x, 7yr Q2 avg: 1.12x), and Outsourcing book‐to‐bill stands at
1.40x (5yr avg: 1.29x, 7yr Q2 avg: 1.38x). The last time there was an order book
decline for 3 consecutive quarters was in FY09‐10. The management revised their
booking guidance down to $33‐35bn (from $34‐36bn, FY14: $35.88bn) reflecting its
revised foreign currency assumptions. ** Q3FY15 guidance just short of expectation
whereas FY15 guidance revised upward: The management guided for revenue of
$7.35‐7.60bn (Cons.: $7.58bn). The management revised FY15 revenue guidance to
8‐10% in constant currency from earlier 5‐8% (@cc). ** Commentary continues to
be optimistic: According to Mr. Davind Rowland (CFO), “An important theme was the
continued strong demand for both digital related services and operations. At the
same time, we saw very good demand for both application services and consulting
related services... The dominant drivers were strong double‐digit growth in digital
related services, operations and application services....”

*** Cognizant – Strong beat to expectation: Cognizant reported strong beat to
consensus expectation at the top‐line for third quarter in a row. The company has
guided for Q2CY15 and CY15 USD revenue ahead of consensus expectation. The
management highlighted abatement of concerns highlighted in CY14. Moreover, the
demand remains more broad‐based with no budgetary concern. We see the Q1CY15
performance and CY15 guidance revision as an indication for sustained healthy
demand environment for the sector. ** Beat to consensus expectation: Cognizant
reported Q1CY15 revenue growth of 6.2% QoQ (7.3% @cc) to US$2,911m (Cons:
US$2,889m, Guid: US$2,880m), wheraes organically revenue grew by 3.1% QoQ (4%
@cc) to $2,662m. Cognizant’s performance was the strongest among all Tier‐1 Indian
IT companies in terms of QoQ growth. ** Guidance revised upward despite
cross‐currency headwind: The management has guided for Q2CY15 revenue growth
of 3.4% QoQ to $3,010m. For CY15, the company has increased it’s revenue guidance
marginally to atleast 19.3% YoY growth (Prev: 19.0%) to $12.24bn (Cons.: $12.29bn).
Management sees little conservatism in the guidance as the demand is largely driven
by Digital adoption, which is discretionary spend (small projects with quick
turnaround). The company sees healthy demand pipeline of deals. ** Vendors
consolidation, Cost optimization in commoditization and Digital adoption – are key
trends: Management sees vendor consolidation as one of the key theme in FS and
Healthcare, wherein clients are looking to cut their tier‐1 suppliers by half (from 3‐4
to 2‐3), and curtail the long tail of tier‐2 & 3 vendors. Moreover, clients are looking
for cost optimization in commoditized business that could fund investments in
Digital adoption for clients. Also, legacy system modernization is also a big part of
deal pipeline that would integrate it with Digital. According to management, projects
in Digital have quick turnaround with better margin and pricing profile. ** Pricing is
not the only reason to win clients: According to management, pricing is not only the
deciding criteria for the clients. Cognizant offers services at a price point that attracts
clients. ** Strong opportunity in Continental Europe: Management continues to see
strong opportunities in Continental Europe.

TPI Q1CY15 – Weak quarter impacted, but outlook healthy
According to the Conference Call of “ISG Outsourcing” (TPI) for Q1CY15, the quarter
(Q1CY15) witnessed weakness in ACV ($5.1bn) due to tougher comp and lower large
deal closure. However, the commentary for CY15 continues to be healthy as ISG sees
pick‐up in demand in H2CY15. There is no slackness in demand environment. They
see faster than expected cloud adoption, pricing pressure in select few service line,
and increased penetration by Indian Heritage Vendor in IMS and Europe.
Weak Q1CY15 – Lower number of large deals drive lowest Q1 in 10 years:
According to ISG forecast, broader market ACV weakned (‐18% YoY, ‐22% QoQ),
due to lower number of large deals resulting in weakest Q1 in 10 years. ISG
expects weakness to persist in Q2CY15, but expectations for H2CY15 and CY15
continue to be strong.
Pricing pressure in commoditized business: ISG highlighted about pricing
pressure in commoditized business. They see ~20% of drop in pricing in
segments like Data Centre and IMS. Faster adoption of cloud and increased
penetration of Indian Heritage Vendor in IMS continue to mount pressure on
incumbents. However, many outsourcing decisions, especially from matured
clients, are not entirely based on pricing. Clients are also looking for improved
SLAs, and differentiated value proposition to induct a new vendor.
What outsourcing maturity means?: There is no loyalty between clients with
vendor. 4th‐5th generation outsourcing deals are structured in a fashion
wherein switching vendors is an easy task. Hence, the cycle of restructuring
deals are difficult to predict. Analytics, Robotics, and Cloud – impact the
managed service marketplace more rapidly and broadly than anticipated. Clients
look to benchmarking to take advantage.
Indian v/s American (Heritage Vendors) – Who will win Digital battle?:
According to ISG, IHV have margin levers and surplus cash to invest in business.
Moreover, IHVs are nimble footed and developed deep domain expertise in few
verticals. However, there is no clear leader in the same currently. Nevertheless,
Accenture’s Consulting legacy is helping it to have edge in Digital battle.
Healthcare and Energy strong in Americas, FS strong in EMEA & APAC: Among
the verticals, Healthcare and Energy grew strongly in Americas. In APAC and
EMEA, manufacturing witnessed strong growth.
Some of the key highlights from TPI ‐ ACV declined, but deal counts surged:
1) Global Market: $5.1bn (‐18% YoY, ‐22% QoQ) 2) New Scope: $3.2bn (‐19% YoY, ‐
7% QoQ) 3) Restructurings: $1.9bn (‐16%, ‐39%) 4) Mega‐relationships: $1.2bn (‐
32%, ‐34%) 5) ITO: $3.5bn (‐27%, ‐26%) 6) BPO: $1.6bn (+13%, ‐12%) 7) Americas:

Infosys and TCS – Retained as Top Picks among Tier‐1
The performance of Tier‐1 Indian IT Services in Q4FY15 (JFM‐14) was affected by the
seasonality, cross currency headwinds, and weakness in select few verticals.
Revenue growth was below expectation in constant currency term as well. However,
the management commentary was encouraging with global tech majors reporting
strong growth in the order book. However, the management sees more stickiness in
discretionary spend from the US with some concern in Energy vertical. The
management expects healthy growth environment in the US and improvement in
Europe with some caution due to seasonality. The deal pipeline remained flat QoQ
but witnessed improvement on YoY basis. As clients complete their budget session
on stable macro‐economic outlook, we expect performance to improve in CY15.
Moreover, spend would be driven by Digital.
We reiterate our preference for Infosys and TCS due to low running expectations
and valuation comfort. We reiterate our ‘BUY’ recommendation on Infosys, and TCS
and ‘Accumulate’ on Wipro and HCL Tech.
