LETTER TO SHAREHOLDER

Dear Fellow Investor,

“Your company has emerged from the global economic crisis ����� ���� � ���� ���� ���� � � � � ��� ��� �� �� ��� ���� ������������� ��� �� � ������������������������ �� ������ ����� ����

The year 2009-10 presented your Company with an economy in free fall. No one knew when it would reach bottom, what level that would be and to what level it would recover. Several of our customers were in bankruptcy. The industry was in turmoil.

Despite the severe constraints and challenges we faced, I am pleased to report to you that your Company has emerged much stronger and efficient, posting year-on-year growth in revenue, EBITDA and profit after tax of 3%, 24% and 32% respectively and on a consolidated basis of -12%, 28% and 38%. How did we do this? Why are we stronger today? And what are we planning for year 2010-11?

When I wrote to you last year, we had just completed the rebranding of your Company to Tata Technologies. In the year before, your Company had transformed from a territory-centric organization to one globally aligned to meet our clients’ needs. As the global recession reduced revenues across the industry, it challenged your Company to adapt and respond. We focused on a dramatic reduction of costs and improvement of efficiency. Over the years we have been improving operational efficiency towards industry benchmark levels. The economic crisis mandated we get there immediately. Some actions were onetime cost reductions to reflect the market reality; others implemented process improvements that will remain part of our DNA. As a result, profit after tax improved to Rs. 91 crores, up from Rs. 66 crores the year before. This is despite consolidated revenues declining 12% to Rs. 1098 crores from Rs. 1241 crores the year before, due to the challenging economic environment.

We Emerge Stronger

The global economy has started to recover. While it is impossible to predict the future, the signs are encouraging that this recovery will continue. We are ready if there are future shocks to the banking system. We are much more efficient and we have generated cash and cash equivalents of Rs. 193 crores consolidated and Rs. 141 crores stand alone. We have replaced the $50mn term loan in the United States with two new term loans at much more favorable rates for three years. Further, we have taken your approval for infusion of share capital of up to $30mn from one or more private equity investors to fuel future growth and to prepare us for the discipline of public listing should we decide to do so in the future.

Deeper Customer Relationships are Helping Us Grow

Despite the economic challenges we kept a keen focus on our customers. In September 2009, at our annual strategy meeting, we developed new engagement disciplines to help our key accounts derive additional value through deeper relationships with your Company. This is working as partially evidenced by our offshore revenue growth of 13%.

Better Innovation

Whether developing products or providing services for customers, it is the comprehensive understanding of every aspect of manufacturing deeply embedded in our DNA that sets your Company apart, helping our customers save time, reduce costs and enhance quality. And the driving force is the anything-is-possible attitude of my colleagues around the world; an attitude that strives to be better and better, creating a deep-rooted culture of “Better Innovation”.

In January 2010, to help our customers understand what is possible even in a falling economy, your Company showcased a Tata Nano (the $2500 car) at the Detroit Science Center during the week of the North American International Automotive Show in Detroit, Michigan. The reception was overwhelmingly positive. The concept of creating safe, all-weather transportation for people who could never dream of owning a new car; challenging a group of young people to create that car at a price that previously was hailed as impossible; and then succeeding, resonated with everyone. After experiencing the car, our customers, journalists and the members of the public consistently said that they never expected to discover that the Nano was a real, stylish and comfortable car. You may enjoy learning more about the event and subsequent events held around the country at www.betterinnovation.com. Through this activity your Company is increasingly being recognized for our offerings in frugal engineering and lean design.

You will recall that in 2006, I wrote to you about the huge challenges our customers face in meeting increased environmental standards. These challenges have intensified every year and in 2010, the issues of climate change and the world’s dependence on fossil fuels especially oil, are now a top-of-mind concern for many of our customers and governments. By anticipating and planning for these issues early, we are already actively engaged in several alternate energy vehicle programs. Digitization of the product development process remains critical for our customers to create breakthrough products. In the coming year, your Company will invest in a world-class virtual reality lab to enable our customers and employees to interact with life-sized digital prototypes in 3D. This will further enhance the value of our offerings.

In Summary

To sum up, your Company has emerged from the global economic crisis financially much stronger and operationally more efficient. We have delivered record earnings per share and generated record cash. We have also put in place building blocks to grow by helping our customers create exciting products through what we call “Better Innovation”.

Several challenges confront us, but none that we have not encountered before. There is growing competition for talent as competitors and OEMs seeing the value of engineering & design services delivered from India, set up captive units in India. A side effect is rising salary costs. To meet these and other challenges we will continue to move up the value chain, utilize more of your Company’s own intellectual property in our solutions, develop skills faster and build alternate delivery centres.

Your Company’s success even in challenging circumstances has been thanks to the passion, commitment and relentless pursuit of excellence by the 4,000 men and women who make up the Tata Technologies family. It is they who have made this possible and I am sure you join me in appreciating their efforts.

I thank you for your continuing trust and support and I look forward to seeing you at the AGM, interacting with you and hearing the valuable suggestions you may have to help your Company become better and better.

Dear Fellow Investor,

The year 2009-10 was an exceptional year for Tata Technologies. Despite ongoing economic headwinds, we achieved another year of record post-tax earnings and earnings per share. Our performance is the result of a multi-faceted strategy to better serve our clients on a global basis, improve operational efficiencies and to capitalize on existing investments. This strategy is empowering Tata Technologies to deliver better results for today and providing the foundation for sustainable growth for tomorrow.

Better Serving of Global Clients

Our clients’ requirements have not changed very much from last year. Saving money, protecting capital and reducing cost continue to be paramount objectives of the clients with whom we are partnered. I am pleased to share that we are helping them to achieve these goals and, at the same time, we are increasing our value proposition by delivering ground breaking product and process innovation. One of the ways we are exceeding our clients’ expectations is through our offshore engagement model. This strategy continues to serve the company well and has expanded for all our lines of service. Our ability to deliver results in any time zone is why our global client profile continues to grow.

Operational Efficiency Improvements

This past year, we implemented an initiative called “OE-11,” which was designed to improve Tata Technologies’ operational efficiencies by FY 2011, without compromising our ability to deliver on our clients’ requirements. Many of these changes were difficult, as the organization endured a number of key personnel changes. But, these changes were necessary in order to enable Tata Technologies to be more competitive and to operate more nimbly. The cost containment, rationalization of the organization and deployment of internal shared-services strategies has proved to be very effective, yielding nearly $11.5 million of annual savings.

Capitalizing on Investments

Tata Technologies has made several investments to win more business and, quite frankly, to work smarter as an organization. Our investment strategy featuring five distinct components is clearly working, as our client diversity continues to grow and new market opportunities continue to increase.

Investments in Process Infrastructure

Internal systems for employee recruitment, time booking and leave management, and individual performance assessment were streamlined in 2009-10 to increase the readiness and availability for all delivery personnel. This leads to quicker engagement for key client assignments. In addition, this past year, we finalized development of our Global Engagement Model [GEM] project management strategy that enables a smooth project handoff, ongoing metrics monitoring, critical quality assurance analytics, and just-in-time resource management – all providing consistency on a global basis.

Investments in Existing Technology Enablers

The Company continued to make investments in IT tools designed to improve our ability to be both proactive and responsive to ever-changing business conditions. The ability of our extended management teams to make on-the-spot business decisions regarding use of specific delivery personnel, project profitability and revenue stream analysis was greatly aided through the ongoing investment in some of our existing technology enablers including SAP. These tools provide best-in-class dashboards customized to our business processes and for our specific lines of service. At any given time, 24x7, we can know all of the necessary analytics to accurately account for project progress and effectiveness. At the same time, we can detect potential in-process project challenges and make the appropriate decisions for next-step resolution. While investments in existing technologies aren’t always viewed with excitement, we have come to learn that it’s the little things – the details and the processes of our business – that we must focus on improving, in order to meet the time sensitive requirements of our valued clients and to deliver the results to our shareholders.

Investments in Global Connectivity and Institutionalizing Global Governance

Synchronizing an organization on a global basis when your workforce is made up of employees in 14 countries, representing 27 different nationalities, requires a tremendous infrastructure to assure global connectivity and to maintain global operational governance continuity. The Company made a number of investments this past year to improve its global Wide Area Network [WAN] to make sure that its 4,000+ employees have the latest communications regarding our business. Many of the delivery personnel work onsite at client locations around the world, while other personnel work out of our own delivery centers throughout Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America. Putting all of our employees on the same page – enabling them to work together in concert regardless of national borders or time zones – is what we expect our technology

Page 9: Tata Technologies

to do, and we will accept nothing less.

Our clients expect our conformance to industry standards, and that is why I am proud of our certifications including ISO-9001 (2000) for Engineering Services, AS-9100 B for Aerospace, Ford CP3 Data Service Provider and CMMi Level 5 for Engineering Automation Projects and SAP and Software Projects. These critical certifications demonstrate our commitment to protecting our own, and our clients’, information assets as well as our performance confidence. In 2010, we certified our India Delivery Centers against the ISO 27001 Global Information Security Standards. We have also taken active steps to comply with the various regional rules & regulations required to manage our business globally.

Investment in Company Proprietary Solutions

We continue to expand our investment in our proprietary technology applications iGETIT® and iCHECKIT®, to provide even better functionality and value to 120,000 engineers working at many of the most admired companies in the world including Apple Computer, Alstom, United Technologies, General Electric, and Ford. iGETIT has been improving individual and corporate knowledge management and delivery through its new interactive reporting capabilities, that provide instantaneous analytics on individual and/or group knowledge acquisition. Significant improvements were realized this past year for iCHECKIT for CATIA® and for Autodesk® Inventor, including the linking of iCHECKIT with iGETIT and with software-specific PDM frameworks.

Investment in Business Excellence

We have made a significant investment in the systematic use of quality management principles in our journey of business excellence. The Office of Strategic Management (OSM) was formed to coordinate our business excellence activities across all functions and business units. In 2009-10 the OSM have formulated and deployed Balanced Scorecards across all of the centralized operating divisions to ensure alignment between the Company’s strategy and the KPI’s for all of our global teams. These KPI’s have been tracked and reinforced by a robust review and action planning process. Our investment in Business Excellence has been acknowledged by Tata Quality Management Services (TQMS) with the Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM) highest delta award.

Summary

I believe Tata Technologies is at the center of an exciting market where the winners will be those companies who have every part of their organizations working together to drive value for their clients. This emerging market, and the companies who can lead and deliver, will reap billions of dollars of opportunity.

We have made incredible progress this past year on our overall operational efficiencies through our strategies as outlined. We have aggressively worked to win over new clients and have succeeded. Our ability to deliver multiple, and diverse, solutions to the overall product development process including IT, PLM and Engineering Outsourced Services are thriving; and our opportunity to take on mega-engagements is expanding. Our global delivery model has achieved new levels of scalability and increased project profitability. Our transformation into a global company is an ongoing journey, where improvement can always be found; but there is no doubt of our drive to be a dominant player in the product development marketplace.

I must express my thanks to the extended Tata Technologies team of professionals worldwide, whose dedication and relentless support of our value proposition have made what we achieved possible; and who provide the greatest measure of my optimism for the year ahead.

BETTER INNOVATION - IT’S IN OUR DNA

DNA is a difference maker. It’s the life force that sets you apart.

In the biomolecular world, scientists acknowledge that DNA

(deoxyribonucleic acid) contains the genetic instructions for

the development and functioning of all living organisms. The

main role of DNA molecules is to store the information needed

to construct life-giving cells.

��������� ������ ���� �� �� � �our DNA is different because ��� ������������������� ������� ��!����������

In simple terms, DNA is a set of blueprints for life itself.

In a similar way, most businesses have DNA – information that

is stored and retrieved as necessary to guide the company

during its life. This blueprint is vast and contains accumulated

technology knowledge, theoretical research, approaches

to sustainability, best practices, tested business processes,

historical analysis, individual and collective experiences

and guiding principles. Each company has different stored

information, which makes each organization unique.

At Tata Technologies, we believe our DNA is different because

of one significant and inherent component: innovation.

We are on a mission to make sure that our innovation is

inspiring to our clients and to their customers and creates

powerful impressions. We work to ensure that our innovation

reflects deep insight into our clients’ business requirements.

And we are dedicated to innovation that applies breakthrough

imagination to traditional problems. We believe innovation

that is inspiring, insightful and imaginative is BETTER

INNOVATION.

BETTER INNOVATION has been the nucleus of Tata Technologies’

strategy for more than 20 years. How do we do it? In many ways.

We are developing new products with experimental materials

that will be game-changers in product sustainability and

environmental responsibility. We collaborate with companies

to transform product development processes to compete

with best-in-class companies. We engage our clients to rethink

and then implement new processes to achieve previously

unthinkable product management lifecycle efficiencies. We

deliver highly cost-effective engineering services that help

our customers enter new markets. Our business innovation

enables our clients to move with agility and flexibility without

compromising transparency.

In January of 2010, we took our BETTER INNOVATION story

on the road highlighting our contributions to the design and

manufacturing success of the exciting Tata Nano. The tour

helped bring the unique Tata Technologies DNA into sharp

focus and was warmly received by the media and our clients.

Over the following pages, you will find several examples of

how we are delivering BETTER INNOVATION to our clients.

That’s our DNA. And that’s our mission.

CLIENT INNOVATION PROFILE: AIRBUS

FAST FACTS:

Company: AirbusIndustry: AerospaceLocation: EuropeEmployees: 52,000Revenues [Euro] € 28 billion

Innovation Perspective:

Innovation sometimes requires unconventional execution. Innovation is not constrained by national borders, and neither is world-class engineering talent. Now more than ever, innovation is unbounded. Fast computers, bright engineers and a virtual digital design environment enable innovation, solving complex problems at the speed of light.

The Opportunity:

Airbus’ paramount responsibility is to ensure the safety of millions of passengers who board its airplanes every day. Every potential compromise to this objective requires various engineered solutions and analysis to mitigate the risk.

Every commercial aircraft has a complex fuel system design configuration consisting of fuel tanks, fuel lines, pumps, filters, vapor return lines, fuel system vents and evaporate emission control systems that provide fuel supply and fuel metering.

Passenger safety requires a reliable fuel system. Key factors are the predictability of the oxygen level in the tank combined with the fuel flow structure.Fortunately, computational fluid dynamics analysis technology and expertscan provide the BETTER INNOVATION that is so valuable in such a critical situation.

“Tata Technologies has become a reliable supplier and has provided a quick solution to Airbus CFD Fuel Systems requirements through the establishment of high level �� �� ���

| Ruchir Dayal������) �����+-.�/�-� ��0��� ���.����

The Challenge:

Tata Technologies mobilized an offshore delivery team with world-class technology and CFD knowledge to ensure fuel system design optimization. Due to the range and size of the calculations required, supercomputing technology with multi CPU high performance capabilities was essential. As a developing EADS Strategic Supplier (E2S), Tata Technologies is a preferred engineering services supplier for fuel systems design.

“Our ability to provide offshoring solutions to complex engineering problems on a global basis with high standard processes and state-of-the-art computing technology is what aircraft manufacturers require,” says Ian Todd, Tata Technologies Client Services Executive for Airbus.

The Innovation:

Through the use of the EKA supercomputer located on the Tata Technologies campus in Pune, India, and with support of a 10 man Indian CFD team, new fuel system designs that predicted the mix of species within the fuel tank for safe flight conditions were provided to Airbus.

The innovative engineered solution required performing millions of calculations with 64-bit computing on data sets approaching 2 terabytes in size and run times exceeding 35 days. Tata Technologies used a rich set of analysis tools including ANSYS ICEM, FLUENT and FieldView combined with CATIA V5.

“Tata Technologies have become a reliable supplier and has provided a quick solution to Airbus CFD Fuel Systems requirements through the establishment of high level processes,” says Ruchir Dayal, Airbus Head of CFD & Fuel Systems Domain.

CLIENT INNOVATION PROFILE: FORD MOTOR COMPANY

FAST FACTS:

Company: Ford Motor CompanyIndustry: AutomotiveLocation: United StatesEmployees: 176,000Revenues [USD] $118 billion

Innovation Perspective:

It has been said that learning and innovation go hand in hand, and sometimes the arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. The business landscape is scattered with casualties of those who thought that way. But to those who know that knowledge is renewable and that learning is essential for all of life, innovation is inevitable.

The Opportunity:

When a company of 176,000 employees with manufacturing operations in 80 countries worldwide makes a decision to centralize its engineering best practices and manufacturing processes on a global basis, the implications are serious and far reaching for the company itself and its supply chain. This was the case for Ford Motor Company in 2008 while it was in the process of reorganizing its business in the midst of the global economic downturn.

The Challenge:

Ford owned many different systems that created, managed and delivered its knowledge [i.e., engineering/manufacturing methods, best practices] and processes on a global scale. What was lacking was centralization that enables common access, awareness based on individual and departmental roles, validation of knowledge that should be disseminated, capture and collection of new knowledge, and finally, delivery of knowledge to a vast global organization. Underpinning those requirements was the need for a cost-effective solution that met all of these requirements.

“iGETIT has helped our company capture, centralize and cost effectively deliver the 1��� �� �� � �������� ����������������������������

| Pete Lamoureux, Digital Innovation Manager, Ford

The Innovation:

Beginning in 2008, Tata Technologies deployed at Ford its own commercially [with a user base of over 120,000 users] developed knowledge-management solution called iGETIT®. Ford implemented this innovative software-as-a-service application behind its IT systems firewall using iGETIT’s standard development toolkit to customize the program to enable role-based access to Ford employees and suppliers anywhere, any time. Early on, Ford understood the value of knowledge management that delivers the right information to the right people to enable better product development innovation, says John Lopez, Client Relationship Executive for Ford Motor Company.

With its common look and feel, the system helps more than 7,000 Ford personnel and employees from nearly 100 Tier One suppliers design and build cars though Ford specific methods. Through a single web logon, important information relative to new standards, processes, best practices are available to design and manufacturing engineers with different roles. Tata Technologies’ innovation is helping Ford engineers gain access to knowledge that will in turn make them more innovative.

“iGETIT has helped our company capture, centralize and cost-effectively deliver the knowledge necessary to design and build cars globally,” says Pete Lamoureux, Digital Innovation Manager, Ford. “iGETIT enables common methods and processes to be shared and better understood which in turn helps support our global programs and platform development and manufacturing.”

CLIENT INNOVATION PROFILE: JAGUAR LAND ROVER

Innovation Perspective:

Innovation is often times a solution to a problem that no one is looking to solve. Instinctively, one may think there has to be a better way of doing something, but that doesn’t always serve as the motivation to figuring out what that better way is. And that’s when an entrepreneurial approach to problem solving balanced with a systematic mode of execution becomes the basis for an intelligent and innovative commercial model.

The Opportunity:

Tata Technologies is strategically partnered with Jaguar Land Rover [JLR] to provide a complete array of IT- related services that have everyday implications for how JLR transacts its business. Non-core business activities are routinely outsourced to best-in-class providers in order to manage cost, increase flexibility and to better serve JLR clients.

One of the many ways that Tata Technologies is helping JLR transform its business is through the ongoing deployment of application management services across many types of software tools, including PLM and ERP. These business opportunities are not always easily discernable at first glance and sometimes are not self-evident. Transformative business innovation opportunities require thorough investigation and a highly consultative approach to crafting the right solution. Best solutions are usually driven by entrepreneurial creativity balanced with an eye toward organizational process scalability.

“The highest degree of transparency and �� � ������� � ��� 2 ��������� ���� � �� ��experience and the cornerstone of our ���� �������� �������� � ���� �����

| Jeremy Vincent+�� ��%��������'��� ���34$�

The Challenge:

Jaguar Land Rover operates a comprehensive sales network for distribution of all of its new vehicles to 63 countries. Every event related to the selection, procurement, distribution and client sale must be tracked and risk-managed to drive optimal results. Each national sales network component has fluctuating business conditions that affect the financial bottom-line of each respective sales company network. The challenge was to design an IT services support solution that enabled overall scalability and flexibility to the national sales companies.

The Innovation:

Developing a commercial model for JLR that enabled a high-degree of transparency resulted in the package and implementation of SAP support services to the network of national sales companies. “Our willingness to innovate a modular, consumption-based solution for use around SAP application managed services was very different from the previous deployments,” says Richard Welford, Vice President of Automotive Europe and responsible for Global Services business development at JLR. “Now more than ever, large organizations need to operate with the speed and agility of small entrepreneurial companies, and we are collaborating with JLR to meet that challenge.”

“What you see is what you get with Tata Technologies. The highest degree of transparency and the ultimate in flexibility has been our experience and the cornerstone of our strategic partnership for several years,” says Jeremy Vincent, Chief Information Officer of JLR.

CLIENT INNOVATION PROFILE: TATA MOTORS

FAST FACTS:

Company: Tata MotorsIndustry: AutomobilesLocation: IndiaEmployees: 24,000Revenues [USD] $14 billion

Innovation Perspective:

Revolutionary innovation is almost always the result of inspiration underpinned by resolve and commitment. History is replete with extraordinary examples of revolutionary innovations including Henry Ford’s Model T, the Wright brothers’ airplane, Thomas Edison’s incandescent light bulb and Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone. Each innovation has served as a catalyst to improve the quality of life for the common person and has subsequently changed human history.

The Opportunity:

Sometimes opportunity arises out of doing what is right for the common good. This mindset is what served as the catalyst for the Tata Nano in 2003, when Mr. Ratan N. Tata, Group Chairman of Tata Sons, saw a family of four on a motor scooter in inclement weather. This incident served as the impetus and the inspiration to develop transportation for families in India who could not otherwise afford the lowest-cost vehicles there.

Initially, a small team of four young engineers was assembled and they were challenged to investigate what seemed like the impossible task; develop safe and affordable transportation for $2000. If achieved, this opportunity would change the lives of potentially millions of families forever. Three of the four initial members were from the Tata Technologies team.

The Challenge:

When the inspiration for the Tata Nano was conceived, every conventional approach to vehicle design was in question, in order to conform to the vision of achieving safe, affordable transportation. Every aspect of the vehicle program was subject to new thinking and required a new level of commitment by each of the program partners. Tata Technologies was to play a prominent role in engineering and design, product data management support and integration and overall systems development as a key partner to Tata Motors. “Mr. Tata’s promise to produce a $2000 car for India is one of the greatest challenges ever taken on by any company in the automotive industry, and we are very pleased to have been a key partner to Tata Motors in making the dream become a reality for potentially millions of families,” says Patrick McGoldrick, CEO – Tata Technologies.

The Innovation:

Tata Technologies proudly provided nearly 100 engineers to the Nano project, resulting in 18 patents filed on behalf of Tata Motors. The majority of the computational fluid dynamics (CDF) analysis for vehicle aerodynamics, under-hood and powertrain cooling were conducted by Tata Technologies. Additional CFD analysis for vehicle handling, crash and durability, and HVAC were managed to ensure passenger comfort and safety.

The Company was responsible for delivering a frugal engineering approach to the development of several major systems including new engine design, chassis design, fuel systems, brake systems, suspension, steering and wheels/tires. Digital Manufacturing technology and best practices were implemented to optimize plant configuration and productivity. As the chief digital design integrator, Tata Technologies played a key role in the supply chain collaboration with many of the 100 suppliers to the Nano project.

First Book provides an ongoing supply of new books to children in community-based mentoring, tutoring, and family literacy programs. Founded in 1992, First Book was developed to leverage local volunteers who reach children through existing literacy programs such as Head Start centers, libraries, soup kitchens, churches, housing projects, and after school initiatives. Tata Technologies will launch the first Michigan-base First Book initiative in September 2010.

Colorado Coats

This past winter, Tata Technologies professionals initiated a campaign to be part of a local-to-Colorado, U.S. non-profit coat drive. In conjunction with Dependable Cleaners and KMGH-TV, Tata Technologies professionals donated dozens of coats for people in need throughout Colorado. It is believed to be the largest coat drive in the U.S. Since its inception in 1982, over 1.5 million coats have been distributed. Last year, more than 80,000 coats were donated to people and non-profit organizations in need.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT (MD&A)

Overview

The economic crisis of 2009 left an impact on the global IT industry, resulting in unprecedented demand destruction for most companies. The global recession undoubtedly has been difficult, but overall, the companies who have survived the crisis are on a path of recovery due to various economic stimulus plans and internal company measures to preserve cash, implement austerity initiatives, and increase competitiveness.

Tata Technologies Limited also was affected by the global downturn, but was able to quickly take fiscal measures to reduce the impact on its financials. The Company launched and implemented an operational efficiency program to increase its business efficiency and to reduce cost. Although FY10 revenues were down, taking action to implement efficiency improvements and cost controls helped the Company to grow consolidated PAT by 31%.

B. Industry Structure and Developments

Engineering Services Outsourcing [ESO]

Despite economic headwinds, the rate of new product development and new design innovation has not slowed. Actually, great companies typically accelerate product development during difficult economic times, to emerge stronger and more competitive. Manufacturers of consumer products realize that the majority of their revenue in 18-24 months is a result of product innovation today. There once was a time when this only had an impact on consumer electronic product companies. But today, this has become a reality for many other industries including automotive, aerospace, medical, etc. Reducing time-to-market is one of the primary reasons companies are seeking to maximize their approach to product development through value-added service functions such as engineering services.

Traditionally, many companies retained engineering as a core function and retained tight controls around product development within the company. But as globalization of IT services became a viable option in the 1990s, some companies also looked to source low value-added engineering activities such as drawing re-creation and 2D-3D modeling to external providers. Today, with the availability of high-speed internet connectivity, computing technology commodities, and globally accessible deep engineering talent pools, the globalization of engineering services has just started.

Product-based companies have more options than ever for new product development. Entirely new automobile vehicle programs are being engineered and manufactured on a global basis to meet the needs of new and emerging markets. Aerospace OEMs are collaborating with suppliers on virtually every continent to engineer and assemble complex aircraft to meet the future demands of commercial air transportation. Today’s new product development requires technology-driven processes and global digital collaboration in order to optimize design iteration in minutes instead of days. For savvy product development companies, engineering services are no longer optional in order to remain competitive and to gain access to new markets. A 2005 survey by Booz Allen Hamilton and Duke University’s Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) found that 36% of companies surveyed sent some of their engineering offshore, 31% offshored some research and development, and 16 percent shipped out a portion of their product design.

ESO Industry Sectors and Demand/Spend

According to many industry analysts, demand for engineering services will grow substantially across most industry sectors and geographies through 2020.

Another study by Booz Allen Hamilton, this one for India’s National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM), titled “Globalization of Engineering Services,” reports that “Global spending on engineering services is large and rising - constituting about 2% of global GDP, and companies are increasingly moving these high-value services to emerging markets as the next step in globalization.

The global engineering and R&D Spend is expected to touch USD 1.1b by FY2020. The biggest contributors will be Hi-Tech (35%), Automotive (17%) and Aerospace (8%) industries. These industries are followed by; Construction/Industrial (4%), Utilities (2%), Other (34%) which includes Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, Biotechnology, Medical Devices etc.”

ESO Growth Drivers

There are many industry analyst reports that identify the key drivers for the growth of the ESO market. To be certain, these drivers are changing as global economic and geo-political events fluctuate. The three current drivers are Cost Containment, Time-to-Market, and Resource/Availability Scalability.

Cost Containment: The initial attraction of low cost still remains a key motivation for companies looking to outsource engineering services despite increasing costs from emerging countries where many ESO providers reside. However, companies are finding significant pools of scientific and highly skilled professionals with deep domain experience. Access to cost effective skills has long-term implications for overall product development. With access to more expertise at lower costs, companies have greater flexibility in determining their product development strategies.

Time-to-Market: Market advantage is often summed up in one word – speed. Getting a great product to market before the competition often, is the key to market growth. The 2007 release of the Apple iPhone representing the next generation of smart phone technology has sold more than 50 million units in just three years. According to Apple Computer’s latest quarterly earnings report, the iPhone now represents nearly 50% of the company’s total revenues. Meanwhile, other smart phone manufacturers are seeing their market share erode.

Follow-the-sun strategies are complex, and they require more effort than just working harder; but truly working smarter, in order to achieve the desired time-to-market objectives. The challenge of designing new products that comply with standards of quality, reliability and sustainability requires access to highly-skilled engineering resources, state-of-the-art technology and seamless integration between organizations and suppliers globally.

Resource Availability/Scalability Demand: In today’s product development environment, it is not enough just to have skilled engineers; they must be available when they are needed. Furthermore, product development is no longer done in a serial mode but rather that an increasing number of all phases of product development are done in parallel. This new environment mandates the availability of skilled resources and the ability to scale-up the size of teams in order for companies to achieve time-to-market objectives. The combination of availability and scalability represents the flexibility that ESO providers must provide. In many developed economies this critical gap of flexibility has not been met requiring companies to develop human capital strategies for sourcing talent that include availability and scalability on demand.

ESO Implications for India: India is well-positioned as the destination of choice for companies looking to continue to globalize their product development strategies. India has a large pool of engineering expertise with its talent pool expected to grow as hundreds-of-thousands of new engineering graduates become available each year. In addition, India’s computing, communications and transportation infrastructure is improving exponentially to accommodate global demands. India’s cost structure – while increasing – is very competitive to other emerging countries. India’s education system, which promotes the English language as the language of choice for professionals, is attractive to many western companies. Finally, the growing consumer base in India creates new opportunies for global companies seeking new customers. These key advantages are expected to spur ESO growth in India to more than 600% over the next decade.

Source Booz Allen

According to the NASSCOM 2009 Strategic Review, India’s ESO 2009 revenue [strictly associated with product design and engineering] was USD 2.65 billion When consolidation revenues associated with telecommunications services, in-house company [captive] engineering services, and software development/IT under ESO, the total 2009 ESO revenues were USD 9 billion, according to a different 2009 study conducted by Booz Hamilton. These same studies indicated that the Indian ESO industry employs approximately 150,000 individuals. In addition, the reports indicated that the ESO market has higher growth rates in IT than other segments in the same time period.

ESO Differentiation

There are two clear categories of differentiation of ESO providers in India. The first category represents large IT/Business Process Outsourcing [BPO] services firms. They tend to have excellent market reach into large multi-national organizations and thus have greater ability for scalability of resources. These companies also manage good cash flow and cash preservation. However, they lack domain skills in areas requiring extensive experience in engineering and scientific endeavors. Therein lies the reason why telecommunications outsourcing usually dominates the overall Indian ESO market.

The second category, as defined by the analysts, is called “pure-play” – where services providers specialize in service offerings and possess significant domain experience and understanding (i.e. aerospace design, automotive design, biomedical engineering, etc.). These ESO companies typically lack market reach and the scale of their counterparts who provide IT/BPO services. Decision makers of R&D firms or product development companies distinctively prefer the specialization of pure-play ESO service providers to other ESO generalist providers. Tata Technologies is clearly a pure-play ESO provider to Automotive, Aerospace companies.

PLM Market

The PLM market [PLM services + PLM software products] remained virtually flat in 2009, in contrast to nearly 10% growth in 2008. Companies elected to take a more cautious approach to PLM software spending with a wait-and-see view. In addition, they curtailed spending plans for PLM services including training, consulting, and software customization/configuration.

Page 47: Tata Technologies

| 21| 21

Notwithstanding the overall flat growth, 2009 saw companies moving to implement key PLM objectives including further rationalization of software technology, increased use of digital collaboration tools, and centralization of best practices data to enable innovation. According to CIMdata, a globally recognized PLM industry consulting organization, growth for 2010 is expected to be modest, at single digits. For 2011 and beyond, the PLM industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10-15%, with PLM services projected to grow faster than software.

Increasingly, BPO consulting firms that operate across any given company’s value chain are commanding a 60% share of the 11 billion PLM services market. This is an important development, as process consultants are involved in process evaluation and implementation as well as overall business transformation strategies. Due to the nature of their consulting efforts, they must look throughout the whole value chain to determine business strategies and are favorably positioned to grow downstream services. Because of this obvious opportunity, and because PLM services represents 60% [and growing] of the total spend for PLM, nearly all of the PLM vendors are now building their own service organizations. Other smaller PLM consultants and software resellers command less than 20% of the PLM services market but they too are growing their organizations to be more capable and more competitive.

C. Overall Recent Industry Trends

Volume growth is returning, as visible from the Q4 FY 2010 results and management commentary.

Large, “Strategic Sourcing” deals are occurring with more frequency with several 100 FTE+ deals. Winners of such deals are usually incumbents who are providing small projects and services, but know the internals and expectations of the client well – the ability to sign new small deals/open accounts continues to be critical.

Tier 1 IT services firms are increasing focus on ESO vertical capabilities to improve their service offering portfolios.

Evolution of offerings, segments with increased traction in industry sectors including; Oil and Gas, Power Plant Design, Transportation Engineering, Medical Engineering.

Global MNCs have increased their development of strategy planning for ESO outsourcing.

Attrition and salary cost in the ESO space is expected to show an increasing trend.

Investor interest for the ESO players is on the rise from private equity participation and institutions investing in ESO companies in secondary market.

D - Internal Control Systems and their Adequacy

Overview

Tata Technologies’ systems of internal control are designed and operated to support the identification, evaluation and management of risks affecting the Company and the business environment in which it operates. Internal audits help strengthen the control mechanisms. Management is ultimately responsible to the Board for the Company’s system of internal controls and risk management.

The Company has in place adequate systems of internal control commensurate with its size and the nature of its operations. These have been designed to provide reasonable assurance. Each business unit is responsible and accountable for implementing procedures and controls to manage risks within its business. Company management has established within its management and reporting systems a number of risk management controls. These include:

a) Formal operating and strategic planning processes for all businesses within the Company;

b) Annual budgeting and periodic reporting systems for all businesses which enable the monitoring of progress against financial and operational performance targets and metrics and evaluation of trends;

c) Guidelines and limits for approval of capital expenditures and investments;

d) Policies and procedures for the management of financial risk and treasury operations;

e) Certain risks cannot be mitigated to an acceptable level by internal controls. Such risks are transferred to third parties in the international insurance markets to the extent considered appropriate.

f ) An internal audit function operates under a charter which defines the purpose, authority and responsibility of the Internal Audit Department. The Internal Audit Department’s mission is to provide an independent, objective assessment of risk and evaluation of the effectiveness of internal operating and financial controls within the Company’s various operating businesses.

Risk Response

The areas of emphasis for the conduct of the assessment include:

a) appropriateness, efficiency, and effectiveness of the internal control environment and the susceptibility of that environment, on a sample basis, to frauds, failures in internal controls or breaches in authority;

b) reliability and integrity of financial and other operating controls;

c) extent of compliance with Company policies and procedures;

d) accuracy and integrity of and security over data and information;

e) accountability for the Company’s assets to safeguard against loss;

f ) adequacy of reviews made by the operating companies to ensure an effective internal controls environment is fostered;

Page 49: Tata Technologies

| 23| 23

g) economy and efficiency with which resources are employed.

The Company uses a state-of-the-art ERP system to record data for accounting and management information purposes and connects to different locations for efficient exchange of information. It has continued its efforts to align all its processes and controls with global best practices. The audit is based on an Internal Audit Plan, which is reviewed each year in consultation with the statutory auditors (Deloitte Haskins & Sells) and the Audit Committee. In line with international practice, the planning and conduct of internal audit is oriented towards the review of controls in the management of risks and opportunities in the Company’s activities. The Internal Audit process is designed to review the adequacy of internal control checks in the system and covers all significant areas of the Company’s operations such as project delivery, accounting and finance, legal compliance, procurement, employee engagement, travel, customer satisfaction, working capital, etc. in the Company, including significant subsidiaries in US, UK and Germany. Safeguarding of assets and their protection against unauthorised use are also a part of these exercises.

The results of each audit and agreed-upon management action plan are reported on a timely basis to the management, responsible for implementing changes. The Internal Audit Department report to the Company’s Audit Committee and meets with them at least four times a year to review the annual Audit Plan and the results of its activities. The Audit Committee also meets the Company’s statutory auditors to ascertain, inter alia, their views on the adequacy of internal control systems in the Company and keeps the Board of Directors informed of its major observations from time to time.

Risks and Risk Mitigation

The Company is committed to the identification, monitoring and management of risks associated with its business activities. The Company has put in place an Enterprise wide Risk Management (ERM) process. The Company’s approach for enterprise risk management is based on the internationally accepted COSO framework.

By definition, ERM is a process, effected by an entity’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, applied in strategy setting and across the enterprise, designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity, to manage risks to be within its risk appetite and to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of entity objectives.

In pursuing ERM, management strives to achieve the following:

a) Establish and implement a standard approach to the management of risk and to the acceptable levels of risk throughout the business.

b) Establish and implement a structured and consistent process for;

i) Identifying, Assessing and Managing risks (threats and opportunities) in the achievement of our business objectives.

ii) Comply with applicable laws, regulations and governance standards in all areas in which the Company operate.

iii) Encourage a culture of personal responsibility to proactively identify and address risk issues and events.

iv) Apply our Risk Management processes to regularly monitor our major areas of exposure.

v) Embrace risk opportunities to gain competitive advantage.

vi) Provide appropriate risk management information and training programs.

vii) Develop and monitor risk management performance measures.
