Like the artist, who sees a masterpiece before it is created
The master blender of fragrances, who sniffs out potential opportunities
The counselor, who hears more than what is said
The gourmet chef, who tastes the most subtle flavors in order to create success stories
And the masseuse, who uses the sense of touch to heal and rejuvenate.
All of them deploy the senses they are blessed with to the ultimate degree. Pushing the frontiers of
human potential and outdoing the limits of experience.
A Solutions Company
needs to deploy
all five senses and more.
We do.
Most of us are blessed with five senses.
However, some of us make extraordinary use of them
to deliver extraordinary results!
In much the same way,
Using its sight to see and keenly in
order to create solutions which would address their business needs
and providing
customized solutions pertinent to the region, thus making us globally present
and locally relevant
because their valuable feedback
helps the Company evolve for the better
and
encouraging them to be more than they are right now
for over a decade
And to truly bring alive the Company's vision
and mission with a strong belief in our core values.
At 3i Infotech, we believe in doing better than our best to help your Company leap across various
challenging frontiers. We truly hope that we have been able to live up to your dreams and will always
continue to do so, in the years ahead.

The Indian economy seems poised for a growth rate of
8 to 10%per annumover the next decade. I feel that while
supply side constraints clearly exist, there are many
policy level initiatives that will yield us good dividends in
theyears tocome.
Thus the overall global view seems to present a
landscape that, on the one hand, offers opportunities
which can be availed of, and on the other, has risk factors
and threats, some of which may not even be apparent at
thepresent moment.
In such a scenario, it is interesting to observe the
approaches adopted by various IT companies in the
global marketplace. While a majority of the Indian IT
compani es have t aken t he rout es of l egacy
modernisation and Application Development and
Maintenance Services (ADMS) for building scale in their
operations, the global multinational companies have
always been competing on their strength of the industry
knowledge in various industry verticals such as Banking,
Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing, Retail,
Telecom and so on. It is only in the last few years that the
larger Indian IT companies have started building deeper
competencies intheindustry domains.
On the other hand, your Company has deep domain
capabilities, especially in the Banking and Financial
Services sectors, through an impressive array of
products, solutions and solution accelerators. This is no
mean achievement and at a time when the Indian IT
industry is gravitating towards finding its feet in the
industry domain, we have an advantage in such powerful
differentiation.
Dear Members,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 17th
Annual General Meeting of your Company and share with
you the progress your Company has made, in spite of the
last year havingbeenadifficult one.
The year 2009 is sure to find a place in history, although
not for the best of reasons. There are inflexion points in
world economic history, when everything seems to go
wrong at the same time and the year gone by was one
such. Institutions that were supposed to guard against
economic chaos seemed clueless and many business
leaders who were, till then, hailed as visionaries, were at
best looking confused and uncertain. More than anything
else, the fabric of trust has been shaken and it will need a
lot of work to rebuild trust. The best that can be said is that
2009 is behind us and we are now on the cusp of a truly
newera, that is both promising, but has the potential to be
unsettlingas well.
The global economic scenario is still very fragile. The crisis
of confidence which we felt was over has been rekindled
with the economic crisis that Europe is now facing. Given
the importance of Europe as an integrated entity, it is most
likely that the Governments there will do everything
possible to tide over this crisis. Tomorrow it is likely that
some other factor, as yet unknown, may create one more
such crisis. It is amply clear that we are in for a decade
where uncertainties, big and small, will be the order of the
day. Economies and businesses will have to learn to
develop coping mechanisms that not only address survival,
but alsokeeptheir growthDNAaliveandactive.
Chairman's Message
Your Company has over 1500 customers across 50
countries in 5 continents. Of these, 78 are Fortune 500
Companies, indicating the faith and confidence placed in
your Company by large customers.
With the powerful differentiation indicated above and a
diverse customer base across geographies, coupled
with the learnings during the last couple of years, I am
sure that your Company will continue to consolidate and
grow in the years to come.
I thank you for your ongoing support in our journey so
far. As we progress and grow, I look forward to your
continued support in future.
Warm Regards,
Hoshang N. Sinor
Managing Director
& CEO's Message
Dear Members,
This is the 11th year of our operations as a technology
company and we have come a long way in this journey of
building a global organization. The last financial year has
been a challenging one for us and the IT Industry. The
business environment was volatile and with no clear
business visibility, we looked at the year 2009-10 as a
year of consolidation. It involved keeping focus on
markets and concentrating on bringing in greater
operational efficiencies across businesses. The year
brought in some external challenges both for us and the
economy as a whole, but we have emerged as a strong
and resilient company and are well poised to continue
our growthtrajectory.
During the last year notable contributions have been made,
not only in terms of revenue generation, but also by
conserving costs, thereby enabling us to maintain our
margins as we increased our volume of business. I amglad
to inform you that our Company has reported all-round
growth, both in the last quarter, and also for the financial
year ended March31, 2010.
The consolidated revenue for the year is at Rs. 2,468.75
crores, a growth of 7.1% over the previous year. Operating
profit is at Rs. 503.14, a growth of 11% over the previous
year and operating margins improved to 20.4%. Profit after
tax and before exceptional items and impact of
discontinuing operations is at Rs. 265.95crores.
The North America geography continued to be the largest
contributor to our revenue and profits, with a 55% share of
our global revenue, followed by South Asia geography at
26%. Middle East Africa, Russia and CIS (MEARC),
Western Europe and Asia Pacific contributed to the
balance 19%.
Our segment-wise revenue break up now stands at:
software products 32%, IT services 31% and transaction
services 37%.
Hi ghl i ghts of theYear
Our diverse markets, unmatched product breadth and
global reach provided excellent opportunities to further
penetrate our broad customer base and also expand our
footprints innewmarkets.
In June 2009, we acquired the J. P. Morgan Treasury
Services' National Retail Lockbox business. This
acquisition further strengthens our footprint in the
t ransact i on processi ng busi ness i n t he Nort h
Americaregion.
During the year, we consolidated all the domestic BPO
businesses under anewsubsidiary 3i InfotechBPOLtd.
We had two phases of Qualified Institutional Placements
(QIP) aggregatingtoRs. 500crores.
The good performance of our geographies and business
units has helped our Company figure prominently in many
well regarded international and domestic rankings
as under:

These rankings further reiterate the high quality of our
people, products and services, more so as we have been
progressively movingupintheserankings.
It is also a matter of great pride for all of us that 3i Infotech
qualified to win the WorldBlu List of Most Democratic
Workplaces 2010 Award. WordBlu an Austin, Texas
(USA) based company, specializes in organizational

is one of only three companies from India and 44
worldwide, to win this award. This recognition reinforces
our commitment to continue to be among the World's
Most Democratic Workplaces.
The year 2009-10 was a tough year for all the economies
across the globe. After the global economic downturn, the
year witnessed substantial volatility in commodity prices,
inflation and decline in GDP rates. Industries worldwide
were in the process of re-engineering themselves to face
the challenges presented by the changes in the macro-
economic environment and the significant uncertainty
and complexity accompanying them.
The second half of 2009-10 witnessed recovery in the
global markets with marked improvement in the financial
conditions. Asian and emerging markets were able to
weather the ongoing financial upheaval a lot better than
expect ed, whi ch paved t he way f or recovery.
Governments as well as Central Banks assessed the
situation and promoted measures including growth
stimulus packages, capital infusion, guarantees and
large interest cuts. This brought in fresh liquidity and
helped in credit offtake on the one hand while on the other,
most governments involved in bail-out packages also
subjected their banks to a series of stress tests which
brought about greater accountability. The bold steps by
the Governments and the Central Banks increased

states. In line with this decision, we had set up around
6,500 centers for taking up both G2C and B2C activities in
compliance with the bid conditions. However, as we were
moving along making investments, the business
environment in the retail G2C and B2C business became
extremely unviable owing to both, the data availability for
G2C activity and the general reduction in retail business
in India. This forced us to re-estimate the gestation period
for this business and based on these estimates, while the
payback period got extremely long, we had to make
commitments for future investments in capital and
revenue expenditure going forward. This would have
drained the Company of a lot of cash without there being a
clear visibility about the payback.

The Company also has a Global Research Center (GRC)
for PlannedResearchandRequest BasedResearch.
While concentrating on our business activities, we
continue our corporate social responsibilities towards
the needy and underprivileged. 3i Infotech sponsored
over 100 underprivileged students for Microsoft
education under the 3i Infotech Foundation program,
I-SERV Disha. This initiative was planned along with an
NGO, 'WORD' (Women's Organization for Rural
Development) fromNamakkal, Tamil Nadu.
The Company has also been actively supporting the
initiative by SODEWS (Society for the Development of
Economically Weaker Section), an NGO, which had

Considering these facts, we felt that it was in the best
interest of the Company to exit this business and not
make any further investments in it. As a consequence,
the investments already made in this business had tobe
written off. We have therefore taken a one time write off
of the total investments of Rs. 260.46 crores in this
business. We believe that this decision has helped
tremendously in preventing further cash outflows on this
business in future and has thus helped in the overall
cashconservation.
The Gartner report on IT spending for 2010 predicts
growth in the US and Western Europe at around 3%
each and MEARC and Asia Pacific at around 5% each.
This is positive for us as we are present in a large way in
these markets. Latin America is predicted to have a
growth of 8.8%and Canada at 4.7%, both of which could
be potential markets for us. The highest growth in IT
spending is seen in Software and IT Services, which is
our focus area.

Sni ffi ng out opportuni ti es
3i Infotech is adept at sniffing out opportunities - whether they
are launching new businesses or expanding into new markets,
our sense of smell leads us to providing just the solutions required
by our customers.
As the world's businesses get more closely connected, competition gets even more fierce among
service providers. In such a situation the need for differentiation, innovation and staying a step
ahead becomes even more relevant.
Around 10 years ago, when the Y2K boom had just got over and software outsourcing seemed to be
the only way forward for Indian IT companies, 3i Infotech smelt an opportunity in software products.
It acquired over 20 IPRs and in the process went on to become the third largest Indian software
products company.
When the majority of Indian IT headed only for the developed markets to find their fortune, we
recognized an opportunity even in the emerging markets; today these account for as much as 40%
of our global revenues.
The fact that 3i Infotech, the IT organization, was created out of a significant financial services
conglomerate seemed to make the Banking and Financial Services (BFS) vertical a natural market
for new business. The BFS sector today brings in over 70% of the company's global revenues from
this sector.
As retail organizations in the US strive to remain competitive, contain costs and expand business,
entering the e-commerce arena, with a judicious acquisition in the US, once again was the right
move at the right time for us, bringing us several Fortune 500 clients.
As organizations, particularly those in developed economies, prefer to concentrate on their areas
of core competence and outsource transaction related activities, BPO operations in the area of
remittance processing presented a good opportunity. Today this line of business provides us 30%
of our global revenues.
Even our IT services are not the vanilla services one normally sees. Backed by our IP based
domain expertise, we are able to customize our solutions, arising out of an understanding of our
customers' problems and our ability to partner in addressing these issues.
Each such opportunity, and consequent move made by us, has paid off handsomely, evidenced by
over half a billion dollars in revenue in just a decade of operation as an IT company.
It is indeed wonderful to hear the sagacious and mostly
encouraging words our Customers and Analysts have to say
about us. And they truly inspire us to do even better in future.

Listening to our customers and analysts talk about us always gives rise to mixed emotions. While we feel proud of the high

The five senses play their part in helping us gauge the world and
take action. But without an extra sensory perception, these senses
are only experiential senses. This extra sensory perception
provides the critical voice of conscience and conviction that aids us
in using the combined strength of the five senses and in perceiving
things beyond the ordinary. This also provides us the holistic context
that helps us taketheleapintotherealmof action.
The working of this sixth sense is the very essence of the 3i Infotech

ECONOMIC SCENARIO AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
As per the recent Deloitte Report, the worst is now over and it is time that the right pace for smooth recovery is set by the
CEO`s of the Companies. As per Gartners IT Spending Forecast 2010, worldwide IT spending is expected to return to
growth in 2010 as end user spending is projected to reach $3.3 trillion. The report predicts growth in US, Western Europe,
MEARC and Asia Pacic market. Your Company is present in a large way in these markets. As there is going to be substantial
growth in Latin America and Canada market, these markets could be potential markets for your Company.
Annual Report 09-10
As per the recent CLSA report, IT spending is classied into Enterprise-IT spending and Consumer-IT spending. While
growth in IT spend in Western markets is more towards Enterprise-IT spending, in emerging markets, it is towards Consumer-
IT spending. While, Enterprise-IT spending is more towards software products and services, Consumer-IT spending is
towards desktops, laptops, mobiles, etc. As your Company is in the technology services business, the Companys growth will
come from Enterprise-IT spending rather than Consumer-IT spending. Thus, volume scale up has to come from developed
markets rather than developing markets. In line with this approach, your Company has created a global IT services team to
focus exclusively on US and European markets.
While, the major focus would be on global IT services, Transaction Services and Products business will also grow.
With the turnaround in global economic outlook and your Companys strategic vision driven by responsiveness and foresight,
quality of the people and their commitment to the Companys mission, the Company is set on right growth path.

In this regard, the Company had already set up over 6,200 centers till last year. However, the Company could not make
major progress in the absence of G2C Services and state data centers. The non-availability of State Data centre and State
Wide Area Network which were crucial for the success of e-governance business was also one of the reasons for the
Company not being able to derive much benets out of its investment in citizen service centers. As the cost of setting up and
maintaining these centers was huge and the Company was unable to continue to bear losses on this front, the Company
had no option, but to exit from the citizen service center related e-eovernance business in Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh,
Gujarat, Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.
The Company has further decided to exit from this line of business owing to prevailing business environment. Accordingly,
the assets attributed to this business are being carried as Assets held for Disposal, at their net realizable values. The loss
thereof of Rs. 260.46 crores (net of tax of Rs. 70.73 crores) has been written off in the Prot and Loss account and has been
disclosed as Impact of Discontinuing Operations.

e) Since the exercise price of the Companys options is the previous days closing price on the stock exchange,
which recorded the highest trading volume preceding the date of grant of options, there is no compensation
cost in scal year 2010 based on intrinsic value of options. However, if the Company had used the fair value of
options based on the BlackScholes model, compensation cost in scal would have been Rs.14.70 crores and
proforma prot after tax would have been Rs. 110.86 crores. On a proforma basis, the Companys basic and
diluted earning per share would have been Rs. 7.37 and Rs. 7.30, respectively. The fair value of the options
granted has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing Model. Each tranche of vesting has been
considered as a separate grant for the purpose of valuation. The assumptions used to estimate the fair value
are detailed below:
Risk free interest rate 5.71% - 6.36%
Expected life of Option 3-10 years
Expected volatility 50.63% - 57.91%
Expected dividends yield 1.15% to 2.84%

A snapshot of the Geography wise and Segment wise mix for the last ve years has been illustrated below :
Salary and cost of outsourced services and third party products continues to be a major component of expenses. The
Company does not carry any signicant bench and uses a combination of own and outsourced employees to manage cost.
As a percentage of total cost, this is around 84%.
The Operating Prot (Prot before Interest, Depreciation & Taxes) was Rs.503.14 crores, with an operating margin of 20.4%
during the current year, as compared to Rs.453.48 crores, representing 19.7% of income in the previous year.
The improvement in the operating margins is attributed to operating efciencies in product deliveries, rationalization of work
force, consolidation of ofces, cost rationalization across businesses, etc. As part of cost rationalization, our focus has been
in the areas of in-house training for employees, increasing direct sales and other cost control measures.
Interest cost increased primarily due to the full year impact of interest on loans availed during the previous year for the
expansion in the e-Governance business and for general working capital purposes. Similarly, depreciation cost also
increased because of these investments in the retail initiatives which was largely funded through debt.
The Companys rate of tax is around 4% of book prots. This rate is a combination of various tax rates across Geographies
the Company is operating in, including tax holiday benets. Tax for the current year ended March 31, 2010 was Rs.10.95
crores as against Rs.22.05 crores in the previous year.
Prot after tax and before exceptional items and impact of discontinuing operations is at Rs. 265.95 crores, as against
Rs. 266.42 crores for the previous year. The decline is due to the increase in interest and depreciation cost of around
Rs.61 crores. Net prot after minority interest, exceptional items and impact of discontinuing operations (explained below) is
Rs.33.46 crores as against Rs.282.01 crores in the previous year. The decline in the current year is mainly due to the impact
of discontinuing operations of Rs.260.46 crores.
Discontinued Operations
Commencing from March 2007, the Company had entered into agreements with some State Governments towards setting
up and operating Citizen Service Centers across those states for providing certain government services as well as non-
government retail services to consumers. The Company has decided to exit from the Master Service Agreements (MSA) of
some of the State Governments by paying a compensation of Rs. 10.92 crores under these contracts and further decided to
exit totally from this line of business owing to the prevailing business environment. Accordingly, the assets attributed to this
business are being carried as Assets held for Disposal, at their net realizable values. The resultant loss of Rs. 260.46 crores
(net of tax of Rs. 70.73 crores) has been written off in the Prot and Loss account under the head Impact of Discontinuing
Operations.

During the year, the Company bought back and cancelled FCCBs (out of the third and the fourth issues) of face value
of EUR 6,000,000 and USD 8,500,000 equivalent to Rs. 82.42 crores at a discount resulting in reduction of liability by

incurred an amount of Rs. 1.33 crores as professional fees towards advisory, legal and other expenses for various nancial
re-structuring assignments in respect of the aforesaid buyback. The same has been shown as exceptional expenditure in

Cash ow from operations (net) in FY 2010 is at Rs.342.23 crores as against Rs.523.90 crores in the previous year.

Earnout payments related to earlier acquisitions and new acquisitions are at Rs.252.90 crores compared to Rs.572.22
crores in the previous year. Cash outow for xed assets and other investing activities is at Rs.162.02 crores compared to
Rs.468.95 crores in the previous year.
Considering the above, our net cash balance is at Rs.180.56 crores as compared to Rs.244.76 crores in the previous year.
Goodwill on Consolidation
The excess of the cost to the holding company, of its investments in each of the subsidiaries over and above the share of
equity in the respective subsidiary, on the acquisition date, is recognized in the nancial statements as goodwill which is
tested for impairment on an annual basis.
Goodwill has increased to Rs.1,810.71 crores in the current year as compared to Rs.1,700.40 crores in the previous year.
Addition to goodwill during the year has been Rs.336 crores due to the acquisition of JPMCs National Retail Lockbox
Business and earnouts paid for some of the earlier acquired companies. Foreign exchange impact (loss) has been
Rs.225.69 crores.
Fixed Assets
The Companys gross xed assets have decreased to Rs. 644.55 crores in the current year from Rs. 799.73 crores in the
previous year and the net xed assets have decreased to Rs. 428.49 crores in the current year from Rs. 692.37 crores in the
previous year. The decrease is the result of the removal of project assets for retail initiatives from our xed assets due to the
discontinuation of the retail business.
Working Capital
A signicant part of the working capital is constituted by debtors and unbilled which is at Rs. 827.01 crores in the current
year as against Rs. 760.46 crores in the previous year. The increase is a result of the increase in xed price contracts in our
portfolio and reduction of time and material billing. Fixed price contracts are at 52% and time and material contracts are at
48% in the current year.
The Company has suitably streamlined its processes to develop a more focused and aggressive receivables management
system to ensure timely collections. The Company continues to monitor the debtors and unbilled amounts and is condent
at maintaining it at reasonable levels.
Current liabilities are currently at Rs.541.91 crores as against Rs. 426.83 crores in the previous year.
Forex Exposure
Our diversication into various countries has created a signicant natural forex hedge since the costs are also incurred
largely in those currencies. This has reduced the impact of forex uctuations to a major extent.
Internal Control Systems
The Company exercises internal controls through a formalized process of an authorization matrix from the Board to the
operating levels. The adherence to these controls is periodically reviewed by the internal audit process. The Companys
budgeting process at various levels monitors performance by business, delivery and support groups.

Annual Report 09-10
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 Overview of the Group
3i Infotech Limited (Parent) was promoted by erstwhile ICICI limited. The Parent and its subsidiaries are collectively
referred to as the Group. The Group is a global information technology conglomerate headquartered in Mumbai,
India. The Group undertakes sale of software products, software development and consulting services, IT enabled
managed services and Transaction services.
1.2 Basis of preparation of consolidated nancial statements
The consolidated nancial statements are prepared and presented under historical cost convention, on the accrual
basis of accounting, in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in India (GAAP) and in
compliance with the Accounting Standards (AS) issued by The Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, to
the extent applicable. Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting
standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard required a change in accounting policy
hitherto in use.
1.3 Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated nancial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and
disclosure of contingent liabilities on the date of nancial statements. The recognition, measurement, classication
or disclosures of an item or information in the nancial statements are made relying on these estimates. Any revision
to accounting estimates is recognized prospectively.
1.4 Principles of consolidation
The consolidated nancial statements include the nancial statements of The Parent and all its subsidiaries, which
are more than 50% owned or controlled and have been prepared in accordance with the consolidation procedures
laid down in AS 21-Consolidated Financial Statements.
The consolidated nancial statements have been prepared on the following basis:
z The nancial statements of the Parent and the subsidiaries have been combined on a line-by-line basis by adding
together the book values of like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating intra-group
balances/transactions and resulting prots in full. Unrealized losses resulting from intra-group transactions have
also been eliminated except to the extent that recoverable value of related assets is lower than their cost to the
Group.
z The consolidated nancial statements are presented, to the extent possible, in the same format as that adopted
by the Parent for its standalone nancial statements.
z The consolidated nancial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies across the Group.
z Goodwill arising on consolidation - The excess of cost to the Parent, of its investment in subsidiaries over its
portion of equity in the subsidiaries at the respective dates on which investment in subsidiaries was made, is
recognized in the nancial statements as goodwill and in the case where equity exceeds the cost; the same
is being adjusted in the said goodwill. The Parents portion of equity in the subsidiaries is determined on the
basis of the value of assets and liabilities as per the nancial statements of the subsidiaries as on the date of
investment.
z Entities acquired during the year have been consolidated from the respective dates of their acquisition.
