Transport:
Broadcast:
- TELX’s OTT (Over-the-top content) services work in the content analytics, discovery, ad
integration and monitoring areas and help broadcasters launch multiplatform OTT services
- OTT is an area where content (audio, video, etc) is delivered over the internet
- Clients include content providers such as Airtel Internet TV; the company is an implementer
for OTT and not a host of OTT
- The company is expecting significant growth in business from Japan in this segment of the
business
Past Performance:
- OTT started emerging as a key area of business from FY13 as consumers started accessing
media content on devices other than Televisions. The company has strongly positioned itself
to keep capitalizing on this growing trend.
- The growth in the transport segment is being led by many factors such as increased
regulatory requirements in the western countries, growing demand of in-vehicle
entertainment and next generation of “intelligent cars”.

Growth Levers:
We expect Tata Elxsi to grow revenues at 15% p.a. over the next five years. The levers for growth lie
in both consumer and corporate space.
i) Broadcast: OTT and other value-added applications are well poised for a rapidly
increasing userbase as data penetration improves and more content providers enter this
space (Netflix, Hotstar, Airtel TV, Amazon Prime, etc.). The company provides
applications and other support services to content providers.
ii) Transportation: Apart from the existing levers (Regulatory, entertainment, etc.) there
are new levers which the company is looking to capitalize. These include Artificial
Intelligence and hybrid vehicles. While many ideas today seem farfetched (Driverless
cars and their acceptability), the company has made strides into this segment with
increased visibility across the globe (Exhibitions, shows, trade fairs, etc). The company
has even developed “autonomAI” which is a proprietary autonomous vehicle
middleware platform with deep learning and AI capabilities.
iii) Healthcare: Healthcare has negligible contribution the company’s revenues but per
management commentary they are looking at significant development in this space in
the near future. The company is already working with some clients in this space and is
expecting revenues to multiply in this space.
On constant currency terms, the company has grown upwards of 19% p.a. but the strengthening of
the rupee has subdued growth in INR terms.

Margin Stability:
Many IT companies today are facing immense margin pressure majorly due to rising employee costs
coupled with H1B Visa issues. While IT companies are asset-light, their employees are the most
important asset and source of revenues.
Tata Elxsi has been able to maintain the revenue generated per rupee spent on employees.
The company is hiring only on a need basis and has no major hiring plans in the immediate future.
The growth in revenues will majorly have to come from higher revenue generation from existing
employees.
The company has also improved margins over the last few years and expects to further improve it by
100-150 bps.
The management is tuning the revenue models for achieving a 25% - 26% EBIDTA margin within the
next 3 years.
