India's IT Services industry was born in Mumbai in 1967 with the creation of Tata Consultancy Services
who in 1977 partnered with Burroughs which began India's export of IT services. The first software
export zone, SEEPZ – the precursor to the modern-day IT park – was established in Mumbai in 1973.
More than 80 percent of the country's software exports were from SEEPZ in the 1980s.
It started in 1974, when the mainframe manufacturing company, Burroughs, asked its India sales agent,
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), to provide programmers for the installation of system software for an
American client. Like any other industry, Indian IT too faced challenges, such as absence of a local
market, and unfavourable government policy regarding private enterprises. In those days, the industry
mostly comprised of Bombay-based conglomerates whose chief purpose was to supply programmers to
The 1970s Indian IT faced the most struggle. Remember, that back then, the economy hadn’t been opened
up and was state-controlled. The state was hostile to the software industry, and showed it in the form of
high import tariffs; 135% on hardware and 100% on software. Software was not recognised as an
industry; that meant exporters were not eligible to seek finance from banks.
It would be 1984 when this industry finally saw some favourable changes, when Rajiv Gandhi became
Prime Minister and brought about a change in the government’s attitude towards the IT sector. His New
Computer Policy (NCP-1984) offered a package of reduced import tariffs on hardware and software. A
Also, software exports finally got the recognition of as a “delicensed industry”. This meant that exporters
had now become eligible for bank finance and the industry was unrestricted from license-permit raj.
Foreign companies now had the permission to set up autonomous, export-dedicated units. A project was
also set up to establish a chain of software parks to provide infrastructure at costs lower than the market
price. These policies eventually made the Indian IT industry what it is today.
As Dossani says, “In the mid-1980s, work shifted to India and was done mainly by domestic firms. This
was due to a new technology for software development and was despite new policies friendlier to foreign
firms. The shift of work to India was responsible for Bangalore’s development and the relative decline of
other centers, notably Mumbai. Since the 1990s, value-addition has increased and domestic firms have
become less dominant. This was due to the evolution of multinational firms’ response to new policies.”
GROWTH
The Information Technology & Information Technology Enabled Services (IT-ITeS) sector is a field
which is undergoing rapid evolution and is changing the shape of Indian business standards. This sector
includes software development, consultancies, software management, online services and business
The growth of the IT industry in India is unprecedented across the economies of the world. All the sub-
sectors of this industry (hardware products have relatively seen less progress) have made strides in
revenue growth in the last two decades and fueled the growth of the Indian economy. The rapid
advancement within the IT industry and liberalisation policies such as reducing trade barriers and
eliminating import duties on technology products by the Government of India are instrumental in the
India's liberalization was possible due to its IT industry. In the 1990s, the industry started off with an
export of nearly $100 million with around 5,000 employees. Now it is an industry that thrives globally
and India's IT exports are now around $70 billion with 2.8 million employees working in this sector. The
article states that the IT sector is one of the top two industries in the country today.
Indian IT industry has grown rapidly with an exponential growth rate after the economic reform of 1991-
92. Indian IT companies have set up thousands of centres within Indian and around 80 countries across
the world. The majority of global corporations are sourcing IT-ITES from the Indian IT industry, it
accounts for approximately 55 percent of the global service sourcing market (US$ 200-250 billion) in
2019-20. The market size (especially export) of the IT industry has grown manifold from approx. 67
billion US dollars in 2008-09 to 191 billion US dollars in 2019-20 (Graph 1). The revenue is further
expected to grow in the coming years with an accelerating growth rate and expected to reach 350 billion
US dollars by 2025.
The remarkable feature of India’s IT industry is that along with its expansion in terms of market size it is
also incrementally adding a significant share to India’s gross domestic product (GDP) and consequently
boosting the growth and development of the country. From a minuscule 0.4 percent in 1991-92, the IT
industry contributed around eight percent in 2017-18 to the total GDP of India. This share is expected to
the potential to continue doing so for the next couple of years if shortcomings are met and challenges are
faced.
PRESENT STATUS
The global sourcing market in India continues to grow at a higher pace compared to the IT-BPM industry.
India is the leading sourcing destination across the world, accounting for approximately 55% market
share of the US$ 200-250 billion global services sourcing business in 2019-20. Indian IT & BPM
companies have set up over 1,000 global delivery centres in about 80 countries across the world.
India has become the digital capabilities hub of the world with around 75% of global digital talent present
in the country.
The information technology industry has been the hallmark of the Indian growth story since the 1980s.
The Indian IT sector has relied heavily on non-home markets for demand and resources and built deep
global ties using co-location with clients, enabled by international travel and temporary on-site migration,
acting as a key mechanism in developing “cognitive proximity.” However, the COVID-19 pandemic is
expected to make international travel and migration more restrictive and costlier, maybe for a long time.
The paradigm shift creates significant barriers for IT firms to be able to maintain cognitive proximity with
It didn’t take long for the optimism of a new decade to wear off. By the end of Q1 2020, companies
everywhere were reeling as they reckoned with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Sadly, the impact
of the virus was too much for many firms, leaving millions of workers unemployed and driving thousands
of businesses to close their doors. Those companies that stayed afloat had to act quickly in order to enable
Heading into 2021, there is little precedent for projecting the future. The economy is showing some signs
of stability, but there are lingering fears over continued challenges or further surprises. Add in uncertainty
around the U.S. political landscape, and there are more questions than answers.
Through all the confusion, though, there are still some basic concepts that will shape the year to come.
Digital operations are more important than ever, with many transformative changes accelerating over the
past year. Fair treatment for all is an absolute mandate, making diversity, equity and inclusion a top
priority. The influence of technology is massive, forcing new approaches to regulatory behaviour.
As the industry emerges from a chaotic year, it will begin a rebuilding phase, but this rebuilding goes
beyond restoration. There is little opportunity to return to the old way of doing things. Thanks to changes
that no one would have wished for and fueled by the requirements of a digital society, the technology
industry will doubtless take a new shape in the coming year. This isn’t rebuilding to reclaim the past; this

There are many factors in the macro-environment that will effect the decisions of the managers of any
organization. Tax changes, new laws, trade barriers, demographic change and government policy changes
are all examples of macro change. To help analyze these factors, managers can categorize them using the
PESTLE model.
PESTLE stands for Political, Economical, Social, Technical, Legislative and Environmental. It is a
strategic planning technique that provides a useful framework for analysing the environmental pressures
environmental scanning component of strategic management. It is a part of the external analysis when
conducting a strategic analysis or doing market research and gives a certain overview of the different
macro environmental factors that the company has to take into consideration. It is a useful strategic tool
for understanding market growth or decline, business position, potential and direction for operations.
(P)olitical factors
These refer to government policies such as the degree of intervention in the economy. What goods and
services does a government want to provide? To what extent does it believe in subsidizing firms? What
are its priorities in terms of business support? Political decisions can impact on many vital areas for
business such as the education of the workforce, the health of the nation and the quality of the
infrastructure of the economy such as the road and rail system, Government rules and regulations can also
affect a business heavily. Rules and regulations such as environmental regulations, industry specific
regulations, competitive regulations, consumer protection and various kinds of employment laws.
(E)conomical factors
These include interest rates, taxation changes, economic growth, inflation and exchange rates,
governments spending levels, unemployment, job growth, tariffs, consumer confidence index and import
or export rations. Economic changes can have a major impact on a firm’s behavior.
Higher interest rates may deter investment because it costs more to borrow.
A strong currency may make exporting more difficult because it may raise the price in terms of foreign
currency
Inflation may provoke higher wage demands from employees and raise costs
Higher national income growth may boost demand for a firm’s products
(S)ocial factors
These often look at the cultural aspects and include health consciousness, population growth rate,
demographics (age, gender ,race, distribution), career attitudes and emphasis on safety , lifestyle changes,
population shifts, education trends, fads, diversity, immigration/emigration, housing trends, fashion,
Changes in social trends can impact on the demand for a firm’s products and the availability and
willingness of individuals to work. Today the aging of population has become a huge problem. This has
increased the costs for firms who are committed to pension payments for their employees because their
staff is living longer. It also means some firms have started to recruit older employees to tap into this
growing labour pool. The ageing population also has impact on demand: for example, demand for
sheltered accommodation and medicines have increased whereas demand for toys is falling.
(T)echnological factors
Technological factors include ecological and environmental aspects and can determine barriers to entry,
minimum efficient production level and influence outsourcing decisions. Technological factors look at
elements such as R&D activity, automation, technology incentives and the rate of technological change.
New technologies create new products and new processes. MP3 players, computer games, online
gambling and high definition TVs are all new markets created by technological advances. Online
shopping, bar coding and computer aided designing are all improvements to the way we do business as a
result of better technology. Technology can reduce costs, improve quality and lead to innovation. These
developments can benefit consumers as well as the organizations providing the products.
(L)egal factors
These are related to the legal environment in which firms operate. In recent years in UK there have been
many significant legal changes that have affected organizations behavior. The introduction of
age discrimination and disability discrimination legislation, an increase in the minimum wage and greater
requirements for firms to recycle are examples of relatively recent laws that affect an organization’s
actions. Legal changes can affect a firm’s costs (e.g. if new systems and procedures have to be developed)
and demand (e.g. if the law affects the likelihood of customers buying the good or using the service).
(E)nvironmental factors
Environmental factors include the weather and climate change. Changes in temperature can impact on
many industries including farming, tourism and insurance. With major climate changes occurring due to
global warming and with greater environmental awareness this external factor is becoming a significant
issue for firms to consider. The growing desire to protect the environment is having an impact on many
industries such as the travel and transportation industries (for example, more taxes being placed on air
travel and the success of hybrid cars) and the general move towards more environmentally friendly
products and processes is affecting demand patterns and creating business opportunities.
Threat to new entrants is pretty low in the Indian IT service landscape. One of the major reason being that
the deals that come in have a certain ticket size. And not every company will be able to deal with a
project at that scale. Moreover there are about 4-5 players which have built the capability to deal with
multi-million dollar deals. The startup culture is there, but these startups play in a very niche field. Things
like Fintech, AgriTech to Deep Neural Networks are the areas these startups deal with. So in a way there
is barrier to entry created by the large corporations which makes it difficult for any new entrant to come
The bargaining power of the customer is high. That is primarily because of the Indian IT services
companies that are capable of handling work of that nature and size. Thought there are only a handful of
them, the customers have a sizable option to choose from as each company gets something different on
the table.
software. These vendors do give bulk licenses to the Indian IT services companies but still they are in a
position to demand a price for the software they provide. On the other hand you have the hardware
manufacturers who can't really be in a commanding position because of the sheer size of orders that are
placed for hardware components. And moreover with Cloud services kicking in, this model is got to
change.
Industry Rivalry
The industry rivalry is a high force in the Indian IT Services industry landscape. As mentioned earlier,
there are only a handful of large IT services companies and there is rivalry between them in terms of the
deals they win, the market share they grab, the bottom line they are able to showcase. In way this high
industry rivalry has also helped the Indian IT services sector to grow as it paved way for innovation and
Threat of Substitutes
At the current economic condition when the economies of the world are slowing down, there is high
chances of substitution. Other world economies like Philippines are bidding for IT services projects
globally as they are able to provide the work at a cost cheaper than the Indians. Also if you think, the
companies that are giving the projects to the Indian IT services industry, can do a backward integration
and setup their own IT solution company. For instance IBM, Accenture etc. These companies were
primarily consulting companies at one point and today they boast of their IT solution arm. Both of them
That was the Five Forces Analysis of the Indian IT Services Industry. The industry is at a crucial stage
with the clients now moving to digital technologies. The service companies are going all in to re-skill
their employees on new emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data
Science etc.

the culture of a large, for-profit corporation is quite different than that of a hospital which is quite
different than that of a university. You can tell the culture of an organization by looking at the
arrangement of furniture, what they brag about, what members wear, etc. similar to what you can use to
Corporate culture can be looked at as a system. Inputs include feedback from, e.g., society, professions,
laws, stories, heroes, values on competition or service, etc. The process is based on our assumptions,
values and norms, e.g., our values on money, time, facilities, space and people. Outputs or effects of our
culture are, e.g., organizational behaviours, technologies, strategies, image, products, services,
appearance, etc.

Software is delivered to clients in different paradigms. The two most used models are Fixed Price Fixed
Time Frame model and Time and Material model. In Fixed Price fixed time frame model, a client pays
fixed cost for a software project delivery within agreed timetable. Any projects where specifications are
fixed and would not change substantially over a period of time fall under this model. On the other hand, if
projects are loosely defined and are done in an adhoc manner or involve client’s managers to manage day
to day work, they are done in Time and Material model. In this, the company provides resources to do a
project and they in turn are client managed. With increasing trend to outsource software services, a
blended model is used where client has onsite resources working under the client and offshore teams
working under the company. They are both managed using state of art project management
methodologies. Time and Material model is most used and understood model. Under this, a client pays for
time billed and supervises the delivery via his own managers. The delivery models are described in detail
below:

CHAPTER 4- CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
4.1 INTRODUCTION
CSR is a means to balance economic, social and environmental objectives, it is a responsible way of
doing business.
Corporate Social Responsibility has always been an integral part of FCS’s vision.
True to its tradition, FCS Software Solutions Limited (“FCS”) is committed in letter and spirit to
Corporate Social Responsibility. Since inception FCS believes that Corporations must reach out to the
society and help by improving the quality of education and healthcare through various community
development programs.
Corporate Social Responsibility in FCS is maturing to the level where it encompasses a gamut of
After lockdown, company’s offices were completely shut down and employees were asked to work from
home as per directions of government. The offices were partially resumed based on the guidelines from
local administration maintaining safe work practices from May 18, 2020 with reduced staff.
The company is following Standard Operating Procedures and taking utmost care of its staff and work
force like sanitization, social distancing, mandatory mask wearing, thermal check at the gate and
FCS Foundation began a pioneering initiative in 2008-09, by the name of FCS Foundation, a non-profit
organization, which, since its inception, is solely and voluntarily devoted to work for the development of
that section of community, which needs our assistance to save its identity. CSR being its prime objective,
FCS first completes a thorough assessment to understand both the needs and assets of the community, for
which it has to develop and run a program. Then it analyses the gap of existing programs and initiatives.
Each program is then tailored to fit the needs and leverage the resources of the community in consultation
with expert educators, local partners, and community members including parents and children.
In year 2010-11 FCS Foundation conducted “The Rural Reach Program” throughout the year at various
places, which is a one week program delivering basic knowledge of computers to students in rural
schools. It also run “Sports for Hope” programme in partnership with ‘Khel Evam Uthasav Samity’ of
various villages in selected regions, which provides young people with opportunities to practice sport and
be educated on the moral and human values. Other programs run by FCS Foundation include Heath

CHAPTER 5
5.1 Chronology
FCS Software Solutions had ₹259.0m of debt in September 2020, down from ₹286.4m, one year before.
On the flip side, it has ₹47.5m in cash leading to net debt of about ₹211.5m.
We can see from the most recent balance sheet that FCS Software Solutions had liabilities of ₹95.1m
falling due within a year, and liabilities of ₹287.5m due beyond that. Offsetting this, it had ₹47.5m in
cash and ₹59.1m in receivables that were due within 12 months. So it has liabilities totalling ₹276.0m
Over 12 months, FCS Software Solutions made a loss at the EBIT level, and saw its revenue drop to
Not only did FCS Software Solutions’ revenue slip over the last twelve months, but it also produced
negative earnings before interest and tax (EBIT). Its EBIT loss was a whopping ₹115m. When we look at
that and recall the liabilities on its balance sheet, relative to cash, it seems unwise to us for the company
to have any debt. So we think its balance sheet is a little strained, though not beyond repair. Another
cause for caution is that is bled ₹6.7m in negative free cash flow over the last twelve months. So suffice it
to say we do consider the stock to be risky. There's no doubt that we learn most about debt from the
balance sheet.
FCS Software is still undergoing with the problem. The company is facing debt and also a huge loss. If it
continues to go forward like that the company will suffer a lot because ongoing loss and debt results in
loss of shareholders for the company. If a company faces debt and incurs loss and liabilities it’s a risk for
the shareholders of that company. In the worst case scenario, a company can go bankrupt if it cannot pay
its creditors.
As, the company FCS software is still facing the issue of increasing and ongoing loss and
liabilities, it didn’t do anything yet. Or they haven’t disclosed and openly declared about what
According to me, yes the situation could have been avoided if the company did the forecasting of
the debt and loss which was going to hit the company.
The other way they could have prevented the debt is of increasing sales revenues and hopefully
profits. This can be achieved by raising prices, increasing sales, or reducing costs. The extra cash
Inventory Management
Another measure they could have taken to reduce the debt-to-capital ratio is more effective
inventory management. Inventory can take up a very sizable amount of a company's working
capital. Maintaining unnecessarily high levels of inventory beyond what is required to fill
customer orders in a timely fashion is a waste of cash flow. Companies can examine the day's
sales of inventory (DSI) ratio, part of the cash conversion cycle (CCC), to determine how
Companies can use certain tools like debt restructuring and inventory management in order to lower their
debt-to-capital ratio. By using certain bottom-line accounting techniques, the company can help to make
