In Focus: Leaders in the Information Communication and Technology Industry at the 2007 Frost & Sullivan India ICT Awards

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India

A leading participant in the global economy, India's Information Communication and Technology industry is describing a heightened parabola of growth. Whether it is the telecom sector, adding 8 million subscribers per month or markets like Enterprise Telephony, Telecommunication Services, IT Security, Software and Services, and Contact Centers, which exhibited a growth in excess of 25 percent over the last year. In this changing landscape, small and medium enterprises have also realized the importance of IT in businesses. Over the last year, significant numbers have adopted and implemented IT and Telecom solutions/services to make sure that they are prepared for the next growth phase.

In the midst of such strategic activities in the ICT industry in India, Frost & Sullivan, for the sixth consecutive year, hosted the India ICT Awards, which endeavored to recognize players that are contributing and in the future, would drive the growth of ICT industry through their market leadership, competitive strategies and innovation. This year's edition of 'Frost & Sullivan's India ICT Awards' took place on 14th December, 2007, 6:00 p.m. onwards, at JW Marriott, Mumbai.

Award recipients for each category were chosen based on detailed research and rigorous analysis by the analyst team tracking various ICT markets on a regular basis. The team monitored competitor revenue, market share, growth over the last year, market and technology innovation, go-to-market strategy and other important developments within the industry, if any. For this, in-depth interviews with all market participants and extensive secondary research of proprietary data sources were conducted. The research process included data collection according to the pre-determined measurement criteria and, finally, competitors were compared and ranked for relative positions. Frost & Sullivan then short-listed the companies that exhibited leadership in terms of market share, growth/competitive strategies, innovation or those have done things differently for the advancement of the industry.

Dr. T R Madan Mohan, Director (Consulting), ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan, South Asia and Middle East, says, "India has become a strategic market for many IT players and our awards reflect this reality. Based on development efforts, we have had companies developing innovative solutions, pursuing the setting of industry-wide standards and product development opportunities from India and a comprehensive marketing approach of becoming truly glocal. Honors this year are equally shared between large MNC and domestic majors, which demonstrates successful market growth and market leadership strategies. We also recognize efforts by major companies that affect industry wide innovation and contribute to improved solutions and systems".
