am glad that you hold a copy of the third edition of Golden 400. In fact, we have realized that all our products improve in content and quality each year and we do make a conscious effort to give you the best product. When we launched the fi rst edition of Golden 400 in 2005, we did not realize that it would become so special to our readers and they would wait for its release each year eagerly. As it

has become the favourite reference book in your library, for us it is a passion to com-pile this valuable resource.

The product that you see is the result of thousands of man-hours and meticulous planning. As usual, our list of Golden 400 is special as this is the only ranking in the country that uses three important parameters to rank companies so that the toppers are indeed the real winners. Our three parameters are sales, net profi t and market cap, each having equal weightage. This ensures that the list that we represent command 90 per cent of the country’s market cap. No wonder this list is a real fl ag bearer of India in the international market.

For an investor, this book is ideal to understand the basics about companies as it gives away quarterly trend, bonus and dividend history, products companies man-ufacture, raw materials they consume and other important data and ratios which otherwise are not available anywhere in the world in a single book. Remember, the compilation follows a scientifi c method.

This time, Reliance Industries, which did not even make it to the top fi ve last year, holds the fi rst rank. However, I did predict in my last edit that Reliance would surely be in the top fi ve by the time we would come out with the next edition. Reliance is the only company from the private sector to fi gure in the top fi ve. PSUs have bagged the remaining ranks. In fact, in top 10, only four companies (last year there were six) are from the private sector. This shows the dominance of the PSUs in the blue chip companies of the country. This is despite no divestment policies by the government.

While I feel Reliance will continue to occupy the top slot even next year, domi-nance by PSUs will surely come down. May be in the next fi ve years, we will see companies in the Top 10, which are at present not listed or not even incorporated. India is going to produce some of the best entrepreneurs in next decade, as capital availability for the start-up is easy due to Private Equity Players as well as booming primary market. These start-up companies will amass wealth for investors. Just to cite a few examples: Bharti Airtel and India Bulls were nowhere in the picture 10 years back but today they are leading from the front in their respective industries. So, as a smart investor, catch the companies that are young, to grow your portfolio.

This excellent book would not have been possible without great inputs from Ravishankar Panda, our Senior Asstt. Editor. He interviewed many CEOs for the book and according to him today CEOs want to deliver growth for all its stake-holders. They have fi re in their belly to capture the world and hence their vision is not pan India but pan world. I am sure many of the companies from the list will become MNCs in the true sense as we move along.

But before I sign off, my sincere thanks go to M S Akhtar, the Project Facilitator, who has worked relentlessly to make this project a success. I also thank the com-plete space selling team headed by Girish Vasekar in Mumbai, Sanjay Seth in Delhi, Bhaskar Joshi in Hyderabad, Raja Raman in Bangalore and all others who helped to make this book an excellent treasure chest for the investment community.

pice Communications using the brand name Spice Telecom is presently operating cellular phone services in Punjab and Karnataka. The company is part of the business con-glomerate in India that covers the entire

mobile value chain, Dilip Modi, Group President and Global Operations – Head chalks out his plans, strategies and vision for Golden 400. Excerpts:

What helped you notch substantial growth in the last finan-cial year?

We are focussed on the two most attractive mobile markets, Punjab and Karnataka. We are a very strong player in Punjab, where there is intense competition between seven players; cur-rently, we are number two in Punjab. In Karnataka, the focus was to roll out more by increasing network coverage, as cover-age was much smaller than in Punjab. So, increased coverage has given us subscribers’ growth which in turn has given us revenue growth. So the key drivers are investment in Network coverage, Brand, and in distribution which has shown results as we have grown by 67 per cent in terms of subscribers’ growth.

What are growth drivers for Spice Communications?The growth drivers for Spice Communications are –

Network coverage, Effective brand positioning, Distribution, Aggressive pricing and a host of Value added services.

What are your USPs?

‘Spicing Growth With Spice Advantage’

Spice is among the top six GSMoperators in India with GPRS-enabled network and is poised to take the lead in the evolving mobile eco-system. It is the first company to provide unique VAS solutions and retails the entire spectrum of mobile devices.

Our USP is that we are a 360º mobile telephone company where innovation is the key. Spice is young, vibrant and the next generation mobile company.

What initiatives are you taking to enhance your overall presence in India in terms of retailing?

As mentioned earlier, we have applied for licenses throughout the country. Presently we are investing a lot in retail, through our one stop Mobile shop – HOTSPOT. We have already opened 200 shops across the country and by year end we would like to take the number to 450-500. These stores will act as one stop mobile shop where people will get a handset of their own choice, a piece of accessory they desire, after sales service, etc.

What kind of growth in terms of num-ber of subscribers are you vying for?

In Punjab, our market share is close to 24 per cent and in Karnataka it is close to 10 per cent. The number of subscribers right now is 350,000 (200,000 last year) and we have shown a growth of 67 per cent. We are adding 100,000-150,000 subscribers every month. We would like to be the No 1 or No 2 player in the market that we operate in right now.

What are you doing to establish the brand name?

We are investing in areas which will help us to get market share. One important area that we are investing in, is retail; we plan to be in every market in India, through our mobile store HOTSPOT. Secondly, we are expanding our distribution reach and our brand reach through our mobile phone business, which is Spice Mobile. Thirdly, we are investing in Customer Care and contact centre infrastructure. Fourthly, a host of value added services are being offered to subscribers to gain from the Spice Advantage. It is like you can do more with Spice Mobiles than anybody else. So, we are positioning ourselves as a young, vibrant, next generation mobile service provider.

What does the current and future outlook of the Indian Telecom industry look like?

Well, there will be much more competition, which will in turn benefit customers because companies will go out of their way to woo them. From the industry point of view, it is a 6-7 million market a month. It will be an equal opportunity market for everyone to grow; the relative growth will depend on how efficiently people deliver on the various elements, what are the areas of businesses one focuses on. For us, it is innovation and

customers. On the operating side, there should be a cost effective model; also, infrastructure sharing will be a driver for the industry going forward.

What are your plans of providing value-added services in order to woo more customers?

Value-added Services for us would be the main differentiator. We were among the first to offer subscribers call filter services, back ground music ser-vice, Mobile radio service, etc.

Any diversification plans?From the group’s perspective, it will

all be mobility linked. We are excited about the mobile eco system. It is all about mobility, so diversification will be with respect to mobility.

What top line and bottom line growth do you expect this financial year?

We have a January-December finan-cial year and our half yearly results show a healthy top line growth of 40-50 per cent and a very good PAT.

What is your target turnover for 2010?

That will depend on how many sec-tors we get entry into. On the two circles that we are operating in now, we expect 40 per cent Y-o-Y growth for the next 3 years and 8-10 per cent Q-o-Q growth.

What risk and challenges do you foresee?Well, the challenges would be the type of competition that

we face; the price model of the competitors would be another challenge, if they are irrational price models. To what extent the industry shares infrastructure, shares cost and services, is another risk/challenge.

What is your vision for Spice?We want to make Spice the most preferred and admired

brand for Mobile services in the country. Anything you want to do with mobile, you can do with Spice Mobiles.

Any message for investors?We will be very prudent with our investments; and not

invest in things that don’t give us returns. Our fundamentals are very strong and we will continue to drive robust growth to attain good profitability. We have a strong partner in Telecom Malaysia and we have strong vendor partners in China, Taiwan and Europe. Spice is the next generation mobile company and investors will ride that growth

lagship of the Raunaq Group, Apollo Tyres is a leading manufacturer of auto-mobile tyres, tubes and flaps. Its product range includes truck and bus tyres, light

truck tyres and radials, passenger car radials, farm tyres and radials. Under the energetic leadership of Onkar S Kanwar, Chairman and Managing Director, Apollo Tyres is aim-ing to become a US $2 billion company. He chalks out his strategies for increasing corporate value through profitable growth, to Golden 400. Excerpts:

What are the growth drivers for your company?In general, when the Indian economy does well, our growth

possibilities increase. However, specifically in tyres, what mat-ters is the pace of growth in our country’s road network. As better national highways coming up, and modern commercial vehicles and a range of passenger vehicles being introduced, I would say we are well poised for the next few years.

Tell us about the acquisition of Dunlop Tyres, South Africa. What kind of exposure are you getting from this acquisition?

Dunlop Tyres in South Africa has brought us numerous areas of synergy in people, markets, products, technology and areas of expertise. Dunlop now allows us to be present in two key African markets as a local manufacturer and have a substantial presence in other African markets. Dunlop’s truck-bus radial, off-the-road tyres and high speed passenger car tyre technology and products have added to our existing expertise in these categories. Through Dunlop we also have a substantial presence in the European markets, which is a key

area we are looking at in future.

Of late, the automobile industry is suf-fering from increasing interest rates and appreciation of the rupee. How is this affecting your business?

We are fortunate that the higher interest rates have not had an impact on us as a company or industry. Yes the commercial vehicle segment has seen some production downturns but we do not foresee this impacting us in the near future, as long as the infrastruc-ture sector continues to grow at the pace it has been doing in recent years and freight movement by road contin-ues to take place.

The market is witnessing volatility in oil prices and raw materials. What strat-egies are you adopting to keep your products cost effective?

In the tyre industry, fluctuations in natural rubber, crude and steel prices are a constant source of pressure. In the past, we have had to resort to some price hikes to counter this. However on an on-going basis, our efforts are focused internally through de-bottle-necking, machine utilisation for maxi-mum capacity, ways and means of bringing down our manpower and energy costs. These have all paid dividends in terms of effective cost management and we will continue to focus on them in future too.

What initiatives are you taking for better plant efficiency and capacity expansion?

As I mentioned this is an area of continued focus for us. We are looking at capacity increases by achieving better economies of scale with a focus on areas which have lower conversion costs. This brings up the entire manufacturing base. We also undertake strategic sourcing of materials to ensure best and often customised products at competitive prices. On the manpower side, our productivity levels have been improving year-on-year. I can proudly say that we have the best kg per man hour production in the industry.

Last but not least, efficient and best energy usage across our plants is a passion for us; and our constant endeavour is to bring down our energy conversion costs. We utilise wind and gas alongside traditional sources and have recently entered into an agreement with GAIL for generating energy from steam by trapping GAIL’s waste heat.

What are your plans for the diversification of the product range?

This is an on-going process. Last year, we increased our range

of high speed passenger car tyres with the W and Z speed-rated Acelere Sportz and Aspire. This resulted in Apollo having the widest range of passenger car tyres in India. Early in the year, we have brought in the Regal truck-bus radial tyres and added to our commercial vehicle portfo-lio. On the traditional cross-ply commer-cial vehicle side, we came out with the Champion FS which is a fuel saver.

We are working with BEML to produce for them off-the-road tyres and are looking to add to our radial truck-bus range, and the small-er sizes of the light commercial and passenger car tyres.

What have been your company’s core focus areas?

Well, in terms of products we were a very commercial vehicle dominated company. That has all changed in the past few years with the addition of farm radials, specialty and an excellent range of passenger car tyres.

But speaking from an overall per-spective, we are looking at three key areas of excellence – Quality, Technology and People. We have set ourselves very high standards, bench-marked against the best in India and

globally, and are positive of becoming standard bearers in these areas.

We feel these are the three key pillars, which will allow us to grow at a pace outstripping others and ensure that we are able to continue to deliver on those growth rates.

What is your target turnover for 2010?By the year 2010, we will be a US $2,010 million company,

or in other words, more than a two billion dollar company.

What are the key challenges that your company is facing cur-rently?

Managing raw material prices is a constant challenge that we grapple with. Ensuring sustainable growth which brings in opportunities for all levels of employees is also something we are looking to address. And of course there is the challenge of recruiting the best people for the best jobs alongside managing a certain level of attrition.

What is your vision for the company?Our vision is to be a significant global player in the next few

years and to be recognized as a tyre manufacturer offering some of the best products and services. We also believe that in this process we need to contribute positively to all our stakeholders and make a difference to the communities we operate in.

Our vision is to be a significant global player in the next

few years and to be recognized as a tyre maker with some of

the best products and services.Onkar S Kanwar,

also look at inorganic opportunities to supplement our offerings and strength-en our market position.

Tell us about your recent alliance with Borland Software and CIT Group. Are you planning for any acquisition?

The relationship with Borland was to develop a center of excellence in the testing space, while CIT is a customer for us in the BFSI space. Both are key relationships. We have stated that acquisition will be a part of our growth strategy. We will con-tinue to look for potential targets that can help us enter a new domain/industry or strengthen our services in areas where we are already offering our services.

What was your export revenue in the last financial year? What kind of growth are you vying for in the cur-rent financial year?

For the FY07, our total income was about US $132 million (i.e. Rs 598 crore). For the year 2007-08, we have guided to revenues in the range of US $178-180 million, which represents a Y-o-Y growth of about 36 per cent.

What kind of strategies are you adopt-ing for hedging yourself against stron-ger Rupee?

We have a board-approved policy for the use of foreign exchange hedges to mitigate ourselves against currency fluctuations. As on June 30, we had about US $69 mil-lion of hedges. We monitor the currency movements closely and take additional steps to protect ourselves as and when required.

What kind of businesses are you vying for the recently launched IMTS business?

IMTS is our newest service offering and straddles across both IT services and R&D services business. It is one of the fastest growing services in MindTree.

What have been your focus areas in the recent times? Areas where we are currently investing in are:

• For our growth in Japan• Venturing into the new countries in Europe• In banking segments across the world• New industry verticals where we will enter in future• Developing new intellectual properties in ultra wide

band technology

What HR initiatives are you taking to keep the attrition rate low?

We have always had a strong focus on building a people friendly orga-nization. Consistent with our people focused philosophy; we refer to them as “people” or “MindTree Minds” and not as “employees” or “resources”. We have a transparent evaluation system for both performance and potential that seeks individual development plans to build capabilities and further competence. We focus on “performance management” rather than “reviewing performance” through performance appraisals, pro-viding input on leadership qualities, mentoring and periodic reviews of career alignment and planning.

What is your target turnover for 2010? For the year 2007-08, we have

guided to revenues in the range US $178-180 million, which represents a Y-o-Y growth of about 36 per cent. We are aiming for industry leading growth in the next few years. While we achieved our first US $100 million revenue year in a record time of six years, the next target we have set for ourselves is US $1 billion. However, no specific time frame has been decided.

What kind of risks and challenges are you expecting to meet this target?

We are seeing strong demand momentum and are confident of meet-

ing the revenue guidance this year. The profit guidance is sensi-tive to the US $ /Re exchange rate.

What is your vision for MindTree Consulting?We want to be a fast growing, differentiated, successful and

globally admired software services company. Our ambition is to grow above the Indian IT industry average, be a preferred employer and maintain our high customer satisfaction.

Any message to the investors.We are a differentiated software services company, high

value added through our consulting-led approach in IT ser-vices and IP-led approach in R&D services, very strong people practices, which have given us preferred employer rankings consistently in several industry surveys, with highly satisfied customers.

We see strong opportunities ahead which MindTree is well positioned to exploit and capture for sustained growth.

He discusses his strategies and vision for the company with Golden 400. Excerpts:

Which factors helped you achieve remarkable performance

in the last financial year?We are an organized and professionally managed company

with national presence but regional focus. Because of our cre-dentials as a reputed real estate developer we enjoy the custom-er’s confidence. We have a large and dedicated customer base. The good performance also can be attributed to our very strong marketing network and a strong project monitoring system, which enables us to deliver projects in a timely and cost efficient manner. Our diversified business model across all verticals with-in the real estate sector and our transparent and efficient system of procuring materials also have made substantial contribution to our growth. We have been successful in identifying emerging markets and assess the potential of a location for implement-ing our projects.

• Ability to spot opportunities result-ing in first-mover advantage.

• Large and dedicated customer base.• Control on Quality, Delivery and

Cost through in-house construc-tion and centralized purchase.

• Diversified portfolio across all verticals.

Which areas have been your focus areas in recent times?

We are primarily into residential, Shopping Malls, Hotels, SEZ.

You have a presence in more than 17 states. What are your plans for increasing this number?

We are pan-India company with projects now in 17 states and 48 cities and we plan to expand our footprint to newer locations across India to 20 states and 250 cities.

Tell us about the status of your vari-ous projects.

Current projects aggregate a sale-able area of over 159.84 million sq ft including 27.96 million sq ft of three notified SEZs and two SEZs with formal approval. The construction and development work has already com-menced on 74 million sq ft. Currently PDL has 110 ongoing projects in 48 cities and 17 states, bifurcation of few of which is given below:• Residential: We have successfully completed and

handed over 12 projects. We have 35 upcoming proj-ects with saleable area of 33.67 million sq ft.

• Commercial: We have successfully handed over 10 projects. We have 22 upcoming projects with saleable area of 4.73 million sq ft.

• Integrated Township: currently engaged in 18 projects with saleable area of 77.55 million sq ft.

• IT park: Integrated commercial complexes for IT/ ITES and BPO Industry, we are currently engaged in 5 projects with saleable area of 9.13 million sq ft.

• Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC): PDL has scaled up its projects and entered into concession agreements to develop shopping malls on 13 stations owned by DMRC on a BOT basis. These malls have total developable area of 2.31 million sqft. PDL has already completed six of these projects covering 0.33 million sq ft.

• Hotels: PDL is currently engaged in total of 17 projects with an area of 2.27 million sq ft in different categories

as 9 projects of “5 Star” category of hotels, 2 projects of “4 star” category, 5 projects of “3 Star” category and one serviced apartment.• Multiplexes: We are developing 114 Multiplex Screens across India. These will be a part of Commercial development and select Metro Malls.• SEZs: PDL have approvals for 12 SEZs from the Ministry of Commerce, we have received the notification for three SEZ’s (Indore, Gurgaon and Dehradun).

Of late, increasing interest rates is affecting construction industry adversely. What strategies are you adopting to hedge yourself?

They have definitely burnt a deep-er hole in the end users pocket. Bit in this scenario end users are left with no option than to purchase the property. If they wait for the interest rates to come down, their interest rates might fall but the property prices might rise. However, the investor community is keeping away from the market.

What are your future expansion/ diversification plans?

We plan to cover 20 states and 250 cities – so we want to expand to more towns in mainly those states where we have our presence. Now, the focus

will remain towards the south and the west of India – states like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. For example, there are many towns in Kerala, where big developers have not yet entered. Similarly, we are already in Mysore and a few other cities of Karnataka.

PDL has decided to venture into offshore real estate develop-ment in countries like UK, Singapore, UAE, Muscat, Bahrain and Mauritius. PDL also plans to diversify into Telecom.

What is your target turnover for 2010?Our growth rate is about 130-140 per cent on YoY basis.

What is your vision for the company?We would like to be one of the leading corporate houses

with multi national presence. What we have acquired in India in 20 years, we plan to portray Parsvnath Developers interna-tionally in 5 years.

Any message to the investors…Investors satisfaction and to fulfill our commitments is our

message to all.

We would like to be one of the leading corporate houses with multinational presence. What

we have acquired in India in 20 years, we plan to achieve

internationally in 5 years.
