Sensex - Rebased
7,900 The combined entity possesses strong revenue synergies
6,800 LTIM emerged as the fifth largest IT Services player in terms of market
capitalization post-merger. The larger scale will help it gain direct access to the
5,700
board room, instead of bidding via RFPs. This should improve its ability to tap
4,600 larger deals (of over USD100m) as compared to one-off cases at present.

The combined entity will benefit from more diverse capabilities, with LTI
possessing strong Cloud, Data, and ERP capabilities, and MTCL sporting strong e-
commerce, digital marketing, and customer experience capabilities. This will
help the combined entity provide end-to-end solutions to its clients. We expect
a wider set of offerings to create a value proposition for its existing clients and
increase the wallet share per clients.
In its 2QFY23 earnings call, both managements had highlighted early success in
LTI and MTCL joint deals.
With a negligible client overlap between both entities, LTIM has good cross-sell
and up-sell opportunities, with a base of over 700 clients.
For the merged entity, the management aspires to deliver profitable growth and
achieve USD5b in revenue by FY24. We see strong revenue synergies for the
LTIM, and expect it to deliver 15% revenue growth CAGR over FY22-24.
