INFOSYS 2015 - A Micro Economics Analysis ReportMadhuranath R
This is a report on the potential growth/decline of INFOSYS during the period of 2012-2015 based on an analysis considering several microeconomics parameters.
India remains a preferred destination for information technology (IT) and information technology enabled services (ITeS) in the world. The Indian IT- business process management (BPM) sector is estimated to expand at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5 per cent to reach US$ 300 billion by 2020. Over 2000-13, the sector has increased at a CAGR of 25 per cent.
Total exports from the IT- BPM sector (excluding hardware) are estimated at US$ 76 billion during FY13. Export of IT services has been the major contributor, accounting for 57.9 per cent of total IT exports.
Demand from emerging countries is expected to show strong growth going forward. Tax holidays are also extended to 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. The country’s cost competitiveness in providing IT services, which is approximately 3-4 times cheaper than the US continues to be its USP in the global sourcing market.
Disruptive technologies present an entire new gamut of opportunities for IT firms in India. Cloud represents the largest opportunity under Social, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC), increasing at a CAGR of approximately 30 per cent to around US$ 650–700 billion by 2020. Social media is the second most lucrative segment for IT firms, offering a US$ 250 billion market opportunity by 2020.
The advent of Indian librelisation plocies brought about a revolution in Indian IT and ITES universe. This revolution has brought about the presence of Indian IT led Industry to shape in to a major forex earner and a priority government sector. The presentation briefs the student about the sector and gives of small glimpse of its various issues and challenges.

Mobile World Congress 2013 - Greenwich Consulting Coverage - Key outputsGreenwich Consulting
After another exciting year at Mobile World Congress 2013, which took place in Barcelona from February 25th to 28th, Greenwich Consulting share with you the main announcements that were made, and to put it in perspective with the major trends in the mobile industry.
Highlights of the paper include:
- Aggressive competition from Chinese handset vendors who could capture 1/3 of the global smartphones shipment volume by 2016
- The battle of mobile OS continues: the emerging market is identified as significant growth driver for handset manufacturers, with the goal to introduce low-cost Smartphones priced under 100$. In order to reach this psychological entry price point, they are looking at some ways to reduce costs, particularly on OS license fees. In this context, adopting alternative OS like Firefox mobile could represent an interesting opportunity vs. Android
- The new Samsung-VISA partnership in Digital-Payments, which is opposed to mobile operators’ SIM-centric NFC strategies and is another sign of the Korean manufacturer’s strategy to tackle Apple’s supremacy, especially in services innovation
- The come-back of Small cells: beyond LTE migration, telecom equipment vendors are being optimistic and plan to increase network infrastructure investments for very dense areas in mature countries, with the goal of increasing both coverage and capacity. Yet we don’t expect a general roll-out of this kind of technology, given the required additional investments and subsequent operational issues (Backhauling is a prerequisite for massive metro cell roll-out, and global maintenance costs can be prohibitive due to the large number of installations)
We hope you'll have a great reading and feel free to contact us with any comments or questions.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
