L&T Technology Services is expected to grow to $1-billion by the end of its five-year
strategic plan with 20-25 per cent of the growth coming from acquisitions, group chairman
AM Naik said in a pre-IPO media conference on Tuesday. L&Ts Naik said the companys
order pipeline is strong and also has a demand for jobs equivalent to 700 additional people.

The market experts also added that when we look at both L&T Infotech and this company,
they are priced quite high. It is doubtful if the stock will touch the preset offer price. There
could also be questions on the project execution capability front.

Though L&T Technology deals with a more niche set of products and services, the peers of
the Company Tata Elxsi and Cyient are both relatively older players, said Nagaonkar.
