Letter to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Investors, You may be pleased to know that your Company, once again, posted record earnings per share, profit after tax and free cash flow. Our year-on-year growth in revenue, EBITDA and profit after tax on a standalone basis are 32%, 39% and 35%, respectively, and on a consolidated basis are 31%, 48% and 50%, respectively. Our consolidated profit after tax improved to a record Rs. 208 crores at a margin of 12.5%, up from 11% last year. We generated record cash flows from operations of Rs. 246 crores during the year, bringing our cash and cash equivalents balances to Rs. 609 crores. We improved our Return on Human Capital by 14%. We continue to operate and govern ourselves, to the degree we can, like any listed public company. To take this further, the board instituted quarterly interim dividends. For the year under review, the board proposes increasing the overall dividend pay-out to a record 160%, i.e. a dividend of Rs. 16 per share (Rs. 9 interim + Rs. 7 final), an improvement of 33% over last years pay-out. How did we achieve these results? How are we innovating to meet the needs of future markets? How are we contributing to the communities we serve? And what are our key challenges for 2012-13? We expanded delivery capacity to increase offshore revenue by 66%. For the first time, we are now operating from a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) called Blue Ridge, near our campus in Hinjawadi. We have 569 engineers and IT professionals based there, providing services to key OEMs outside India. We also expanded capabilities in our existing facilities in Bangalore and Bangkok. We have now instituted a cross functional Employee Experience Leadership Team (EeLT) to enhance every employees experience and growth within the Company. EeLT comprises leaders from delivery, sales, human resources and finance. It drives improved business performance and employee engagement through a set of formal initiatives measured by improvement in return on human capital (ROHC). We are pleased to announce that our COO, Warren Harris, has completed the Harvard Advanced Management Program (AMP). Almost 1,466 of our professionals completed e-learning courses from Harvard. The senior leadership team also underwent formal assessment by an external agency to help us with career planning and creation of development programs. All this is part of our effort to strengthen the senior leadership teams capabilities in an ever-challenging global business environment.

The year was one of innovation and growth, delivering record revenue, profit, earnings per share and cash while innovating transformational products.

We enhanced our SAP IT system to allow us to implement scalable robust HR processes. Employees and managers across the globe now interact with the system through a self-service portal. We will continue to enhance these systems as we move forward. Better Innovation Expanding our Better Innovation offering i.e. the application of frugal engineering and lean design to create breakthrough products, we challenged ourselves to design and engineer a fuel-efficient, environmentallyfriendly, street-legal, electric car that can comfortably and safely accommodate a family of four. The result, called eMO for Electric MObility, debuted at the Detroit North American International Automotive Show. I often struggle to find good examples of your Companys work, as most are client confidential and cannot be disclosed. So this time, I am especially happy to present eMO. As you learn more from this report, www.betterinnovation.com and from outside reports, you can get an appreciation of the work your Company does and its growth in capability that go far beyond the technical services for which we are known. In the year under review, we enhanced our position in automotive, industrial machinery and aerospace sectors growing key accounts and adding new logos. Our customers continued to benefit through the application of frugal engineering and lean design to create breakthrough products. Our enterprise solutions team helped customers realize value through optimized ERP, supply chain and customer relationship management systems. Your Company continued to file patents in Engineering & Design and Product Lifecycle Management. You may enjoy reading more about some of these achievements in the Management Discussion and Analysis section of this Annual Report.

Running for Hope and First Book, to name a few. Challenges for 2012-13 Externally, there are uncertainties regarding the US presidential elections and the economic situation in Europe. This may bring increased emotion and possible limitations to offshoring. Volatility in the EU may limit the ability of our customers to commit to projects. Internally, we have ambitious growth targets. We are reengineering our sales force to be able to improve the identification of customers and projects where we can deliver long-term value. There is a global shortage of engineering talent. We need to continue to develop senior leaders through our Talent Pool program.We need to automate more of our internal processes so we can scale up efficiently. These changes to accommodate our growth are challenging. We have faced challenges before. I have no doubt that we will succeed. In Summary Your Company has delivered solid growth, record earnings per share and generated record cash. Our program called Better Innovation creates even more exciting products. We continue to move up the value chain, utilize more of your Companys own intellectual property in our solutions and develop skills faster. Five years ago, on 31 March 2007, the first full year of operations following the acquisition of INCAT, we ended with consolidated earnings per share (EPS) of Rs. 4.6 per share. Today our EPS has grown, even after taking additional capital, to Rs. 49.29 per share, a growth of 11 times in 5 years. Thus your Company delivered a five year compounded annual earnings growth of 61% on per share basis. In the same period, the Sensex 30 companies grew their per share earnings by 12% on a compounded basis. I hope you will join me in thanking the 5,443 dedicated men and women who make up the Tata Technologies family. They are the ones responsible for our achievements and I am sure you will join me in appreciating their efforts. I thank you for your continuing trust and support and I look forward to seeing you at the AGM, interacting with you and hearing any valuable suggestions you may have to help your Company become better and more profitable.

Letter from the COO

Dear Shareholders, Five years ago, we set about transforming our business to create a more high-growth, proactive, and innovative Tata Technologies. Those efforts delivered significant progress and we built an integrated global company with fully aligned sales, marketing, and delivery functions. Additionally, we built a comprehensive global delivery capability that offers clients, skills and resources wherever they operate, with access to capacity in geographies with scale and competitive price points. We also balanced our portfolio of services around three lines of business: Engineering, Product Lifecycle Management and Enterprise IT Services. As I write to you today, we have undertaken a bold, ambitious challenge to, within the next five years, achieve $1 billion in revenue and position Tata Technologies as the number-one engineering services organization in the world. We are moving forward with this plan under the banner, One To Win. Because of our previous work in aligning and balancing the organization worldwide, a palpable sense of commitment, as well as a spirit of achievement permeates the organization as we move together toward these lofty but eminently achievable goals. Today, Tata Technologies is delivering outstanding financial and operational performance with steady improvements to operating margins and free cash flow. We increased profitability by fine-tuning operations, skillfully managing expenses, and improving our cost structure. Fiscal 2012 was a year of strong growth and continued momentum in our business. We focused on the execution of an aggressive growth agenda, and our results demonstrate that we performed extremely well. We achieved strong topline and bottom-line growth, meeting or exceeding-in some cases significantly-all elements of our original fiscal 2012 annual financial budget. Specifically, we posted: Our highest-ever annual revenues, of $348 million, an increase of 25percent in US dollar terms Improvement in operating margins by 206 basis points to a record 18.3%. Over the past five years, our operating margins have improved by 1268 basis points. PAT that has increased 11fold in that same period A strengthened balance sheet reflecting a cash & cash equivalents balance of $120Mn, up from $64Mn for the previous year

While we are very proud of our results in fiscal 2012, we will continue to sharpen the execution of our growth strategy, which will be particularly important given the uncertain global economic outlook. Of course, our top priority remains our clients-and helping them achieve high performance. The caliber of our clients, who include many of the best automotive, aerospace and industrial machinery companies globally, together with the depth and longevity of our relationships with them, are key differentiators for Tata Technologies and speak of our ability to deliver real business value year after year. We are proud that our top five clients in fiscal 2012 have been clients for at least ten years.

In fiscal 2012, we continued to attract new clients and expand relationships with existing clients. For example, we are helping a North American automotive OEM to migrate its digital design data from a legacy product lifecycle management (PLM) system to its next generation platform; Tara Aerospace Systems a JV between Tata Advanced Systems, Sikorsky Aircraft and Nova Integrated Systems (a Tata enterprise), to manufacture the S-92 helicopter cabin for Sikorsky in India; Carnegie Mellon University to develop and teach a graduate level course on product design using our proprietary knowledge management platform iGET IT; a North American industrial machinery company apply frugal engineering principles to its product portfolio for the emerging markets and establish an Offshore Simulation Center (OSC) for a Scandinavian construction equipment manufacturer at a new facility in Bangalore.

from a North American equipment manufacturer, including a tear-down and benchmarking project in China jointly delivered onsite by our team members from Singapore, India and North America. In fiscal 2012, we continued to expand our capabilities and offerings across a broad range of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and enterprise IT platforms. We fully certified 4 and partially certified 18 engineers in Dassault Systmes next generation CATIA and ENOVIA V6 platforms. We have also launched a dedicated 120 seat Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Delivery Center in Thane, India, as part of an aggressive ramp-up that we are planning in this area. In fiscal 2012, we expanded our workforce, growing our headcount by 18 percent, to 5443 people. To accommodate these additions we have invested heavily in delivery and service infrastructure by opening an allnew 550+ seat Delivery Center in Pune and launching a 75-seat Delivery Center in Bangalore. And we invested significantly in the training and professional development of our people to ensure that all of our employees have the necessary skills to serve our clients at the highest level. For instance we launched an online soft skills learning program iSMART in partnership with Harvard, to make career-enhancing training available to our employees in a convenient format. This fiscal year we will also graduate the second batch from our Talent Pool program to further enhance the leadership bandwidth in our company. Already, 25 future leaders have graduated from this program, and most of them have been assigned to new positions of responsibility that are intended to prepare them for executive leadership assignments in the years to come. In fiscal 2012, we also strengthened our commitment to running Tata Technologies as a high-performance business. We expanded the use of our Global Delivery approach to optimize delivery across our broad range of services, and we further streamlined internal operations as part of our ongoing focus on business excellence. This was recognized during our annual Tata Business Excellence Model ( TBEM) assessment, with Tata Technologies progressing to the Good Performance band a major milestone for our company and a testament to the investment that we have made in the internal balance sheet of our company. We also remain highly committed to the communities in which we live and work through our corporate sustainability efforts. Most notable is our on-site water and waste recycling facility at our Center for Advanced Engineering and Design in Hinjawadi, our Ready Engineer program that promotes technical education for engineering students in India, our alliance with First Book in North America to promote literacy at the elementary school level and equally important our

Our focus is on helping clients address critical business trends, such as globalization, product development productivity and capacity, innovation and operational excellence, while serving the full spectrum of their needs. Our success in fiscal 2012 was due in large part to the focused execution of our growth strategy-which is about driving sustainable and profitable growth through Industry differentiation, technology leadership and building scale. We continued to invest to serve all industries; but we prioritized our investments where we saw specific opportunities to separate ourselves from our competitors. For instance, in FY 2012, your company established itself as a world leader in the full vehicle development space, with the worldwide unveiling of eMO, our groundbreaking EV study, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, in January of this year. This was a landmark moment for your company and a coming of age of Indian engineering, establishing Tata Technologies as the only India-based engineering services organization capable of delivering a full vehicle program such as this. Additionally, our Vehicle Programs & Development Group has won, or has underway, multiple full-vehicle programs and is providing innovative, cost-effective and environmentally sound automotive solutions to global automotive OEMs ranging from premium brands to entrepreneurial organizations aiming at niche markets. Our entry into the industrial machinery sector was quickly validated when we won additional projects

My thanks to all our shareholders, who have demonstrated their ongoing support for our organization in fiscal year 2012. I also want to thank the men and women of Tata Technologies around the world for their hard work, discipline and dedication to our clients this past year, without which our success would not have been possible. Through the focused execution

of our strategy, we achieved great things in fiscal 2012 and we believe we are well positioned for continued success in fiscal 2013.

Redefining our brand, showcasing our capabilities

More than 770,000 auto enthusiasts, including thousands of auto industry professionals and the world's automotive press, attended the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit this January and most got a chance to check out an all-new electric vehicle study from a new player on the scene. Tata Technologies unveiled its eMO, and showgoers could hardly miss it. Positioned in the lobby of Detroit's Cobo Center at the Michelin Challenge Design City 2046 display highlighting the future of personal transportation, the eMO which stands for electric MObility drew considerable attention. A futuristic design and breakthrough features were eye openers. Comfor table, practical, fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly, eMO is the right size for urban transport - easy to park, yet seating four adults comfortably, with a back seat able to be converted into substantial cargo space. It's innovative. While working on the study, Tata Technologies developed fresh intellectual property and has 15 patents in process. And it's designed to be affordable; its estimated manufacturer's suggested retail price is $20,000 (US), and that's without any federal or state government incentives. But for industry analysts, the big news was the

eMO breaks new ground for Tata Technologies

emergence of Tata Technologies as an unexpected entrant in the full-vehicle development arena. REDEFINING OUR COMPANY In India, this is officially the Decade of Innovation, as declared by the country's president. In 2010, at a summit meeting of the country's leading engineering companies, a bold prediction was made: Within 10 years, an Indian engineering firm would develop the capability to deliver a complete vehicle. Enter Tata Technologies. Since 1981, Tata Technologies professionals have been contributing engineering, design and IT services to the worlds leading automotive and aerospace manufacturers and their suppliers. Headquartered in Singapore, with regional offices in the United States (Novi, Michigan), India (Pune) and the United Kingdom (Coventry), Tata Technologies has a work force of more than 5,443 employees serving clients worldwide. In its three decades of providing pragmatic solutions for a growing number of successful automakers and aerospace companies, Tata Technologies had developed a growing reputation for competence and innovation, and for an unmatched mastery of frugal engineering. In 2010, the company was ready to take its next step - the formation of a Vehicle Programs & Development (VPD) group.

IX

VPD was created as a strategic realignment of Tata Technologies' engineering leadership and its team of professionals worldwide. It was a change designed to adapt to a changing world. As the automotive industry was emerging from a global recession, the demand for new, highly differentiated products was increasing, placing an unprecedented burden on the automakers' limited product and manufacturing engineering resources. The automakers now were seeking experienced, proven engineering partners to meet these demands. They also needed partners with an eye toward innovation - a fresh view - to achieve success. The experience and global reach of Tata Technologies placed the company in a unique position to rise to the challenge. Creating the new Vehicle Programs & Development team was a first step. The next step: showcasing the capabilities of the newly organized team. THE BIRTH OF THE eMO In the summer of 2010, in anticipation of launching the Vehicle Programs & Development group, Tata Technologies decided to create a complete vehicle as an internal engineering study. As a company with a history of dedicating its resources to specific client needs, this was a shift in gears. The group considered numerous concepts. The objectives were to highlight the company's focus on sustainability, as well as its global experience, knowledge, capacity, innovation and frugal engineering capabilities across its portfolio of services, which cover the entire product development cycle, including: Product and Market Definition Concepts and Styling Vehicle Architecture Knowledge-Based Modeling Engineering and Design Digital Validation Prototype and Testing Manufacturing Solutions

much to study, including a plethora of concepts and reams of data, as well as local and governmental incentives and infrastructure. "We studied and considered what type of electric vehicle is required for different uses, each having a specific purpose and goal," says Fisher. "We dissected demographics, identifying who would be interested in each segment, determining what innovation and technologies we could bring to this market, with an overall objective of producing a concept that would be a cost effective electric vehicle." FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE This analysis led to a combined product and process design to balance the following areas: vehicle cost of ownership and use innovation and technology consumer features and space.

The research also led to a focus on a city or "New Urban" electric vehicle with an emphasis on the design following the functionality and use of the vehicle. Keeping a low cost of ownership was a priority. "We believe that most vehicles on the market are actually oversized and over specified for the consumers daily use," says Fisher. "Our objective was to find the right size for this type of electric vehicle with the appropriate range and speed, without reducing safety and daily usability." To sum it up, Fisher said the eMO reflects Tata Technologies' unique multidimensional approach, its DNA of innovation, as well as its intimate understanding of the demands of both developed and developing markets. The vehicle also benefits from the company's global delivery model and its proprietary Knowledge-Based Engineering platforms to develop products faster and more cost-effectively. We believe this engineering study shows a very pragmatic, innovative and cost-feasible solution for daily-use electric vehicles in a new urban environment," says Fisher. "And we believe the market exists for a vehicle demonstrating this intelligent combination of performance, safety, function, price and environmental responsibility." But there's more to come. "This study is the first in a series of thought-provoking concepts to showcase our capabilities across the current and future automotive landscape," he added.

The team started by reviewing relevant media on electric vehicles. "We found very mixed results, ranging from huge optimism to abject pessimism and everything in between," says Kevin Fisher, President of the Vehicle Programs & Development group. There was

BACK TO THE FUTURE Flash back to the prediction that an Indian-based engineering firm would develop a complete vehicle before 2020. Tata Technologies achieved the feat eight years early. "The eMO project symbolizes a coming of age of Indian automotive engineering," said Warren Harris, Tata Technologies President and Chief Operating Officer. "It's a tangible example of the capability of Tata Technologies to deliver a full vehicle." Will the eMO be mass produced? That's a question yet to be answered. "We developed it strictly as an engineering study with no particular automaker in mind," says Fisher. Meanwhile, the company's Vehicle Programs & Development group continues to apply its innovative approach and frugal engineering capabilities in service of a wide range of clients with more than 300 engineers operating from four automotive centers of excellence worldwide - Detroit, Coventry, Pune and Stuttgart. Says Fisher: "We have the talent, ideas, and ability to anticipate client and market needs. We're ready to help our current and future clients rise to meet their next global challenges." eMO STORIES Reflections on the eMO project by key team members who brought the vehicle to life. MY STORY by Kevin Fisher, President,Vehicle Programs & Development, Novi, Michigan, USA "I think the eMO speaks for itself. I would like to think that this could be a catalyst to bring about a difference on how the market perceives Tata Technologies and how we perceive ourselves. "Since our first brainstorming session, we kept our focus to create a sustainable mobility concept for city use, offering high value to consumers at a disruptive price point through innovative technology. "Throughout the development process, we established many new best practices and, importantly, the team reaffirmed a belief that we can take on many complex challenges. "I am very proud of our achievements, and it's a very gratifying feeling to see the pride in eMO in our employees around the world. "As we were in the final stages of producing the prototype, my mother and father had come to see our family for a vacation. On several occasions, they came to see the construction of the vehicle, upon which they gave me their feedback, which was positive and helpful. There are not many times that you can involve your family in your programs. "The project was intense, and I'm fortunate to have the support of my wife and children who have endured my obsession with executing this program to the highest level. "And a large thanks to everyone on the Tata Technologies eMO team.You never know where this could lead.
XI

MY STORY by Casey Mehta, Senior Consultant -- Business Partnership, Novi, Michigan, USA "The eMO project was very satisfying to me. Having 35 years of automotive experience, I got an opportunity to apply my cumulative knowledge, skills and experience honed over the years. "My primary role was supplier relations and procurement, but my involvement went far beyond that. I handled all commercial negotiations worth more than $1 million (US), including the supplier contract to build the final drivable eMO. I was able to help us come in $100,000 under budget. "I also helped develop the business case for eMO, taking into account potential customer profiles, product volume and mix scenarios, options and features, nontraditional approaches to marketing and distribution, project investment, variable piece prices and the targeted retail price. I created various models of operating costs over a five-year period to demonstrate the savings offered by eMO over a traditional car. "The most challenging part of the project was convincing suppliers to get involved.Tata Technologies is not an OEM, so why would a supplier work with us if there is no production business expected at project completion? It took good deal of skill to convince a few key suppliers to participate. "I think the best part of the project was our unconventional approach to problem solving. To solve the big problems of tomorrow, we had to develop a strong sense of imagination for the future of mobility. So, in a way, we all had to become futurists in our scenario planning and execution. "Being a part of the eMO team meant working closely together with a wide variety of people from different backgrounds around the world to find solutions for every problem encountered along the way. "It was truly a team effort - and a fulfilling one. Seeing a concept on paper develop into a real car was especially rewarding." MY STORY by Nigel Giddons, Chief Engineer - Vehicle Architecture, Novi, Michigan USA It's very rare to conceptualize a vehicle from a blank sheet of paper. So often, vehicles are based around an amount of existing architecture or systems. This one started from nothing. "Secondly, as a service organization, we are often engaged to bring to fruition the products that are ultimately based upon the ideas, opinions and decisions of our clients. This one was all ours. The team had a tremendous feeling of ownership in our little car. There was no one to blame if we didn't succeed. "My personal pride was in balancing the huge amount of creative ideas and opinions coming from within our

team of what eMO should be. It was a fantastic collective. I was honored to lead such an enthusiastic group of highly skilled technicians. "The challenge of the project was that it was only us. So often in an endeavor this large and complex we have the chance to seek the advice and assistance of others to find the answers. Here there was no such option. We had to challenge ourselves more than ever before. "If you're like me, and you grow up with a fascination and interest in historys great innovative car designers such as Pinninfarina, Colin Chapman, Ferdinand Porsche, Alex Issigonis and Enzo Ferrari, and then you have the opportunity to try it yourself - that's a childhood dream come true. We conceptualized, designed, engineered and built a whole car. Not too many people get a chance to do something so grand. "I'll never forget the first time I saw eMO in the flesh, resplendent as a tangible manifestation of all our efforts. It was our baby. It was love and pride at first sight." MY STORY by Peter Davis, Chief Designer -- Vehicle Design, Novi, Michigan USA It felt great to be part of a small collaborative endeavor working on the eMO, creating hundreds of ideas, knowing that only a few had the chance of going forward, but understanding that the tight interaction of other team members would pull the best ideas forward. My teams extensive experience in aesthetic surface development helped move the styling forward

quickly without the use of expensive full-size clay development models. Years of experience in interior design and material usage enabled us to prioritize our problem-solving and direct our innovation toward the core objectives. "I enjoy addressing challenges and creating solutions that are an appropriate balance of engineering and design, and I like proposing nontraditional ideas that evolve into solutions that are useful yet distinctive. The parts of the project that were the most gratifying were the 'Aha!' features - the center controls on the instrument panel, the panoramic glass with the sun visor, the windshield wipers, the rear window and tail light solutions. "I remember when we finished the seating buck to evaluate spaciousness, outward visibility and ingress/egress, together we realized that the side openings were so large and accommodating that the rear seat could serve double-duty as a cargo area, eliminating the need for a rear hatch and a dedicated trunk.That was a breakthrough moment for the project, when problem and solution achieved an absolutely convincing logic. We displayed eMO at a university student center lobby during an electric vehicle conference. As students and faculty walked by, many took the time to comment or ask questions. I enjoyed seeing their expressions change, as the concept was explained and absorbed. Many said, 'I would buy that.' That was the ultimate satisfaction."

Helping racing legends be their best

The builder of some of the most iconic sports cars in racing history was getting ready to create a limited run of million-dollar supercars. It found a partner with credentials just as lofty -- a partner that has made its mark on Formula One racing with numerous championships at motorsports' highest level. As significant details of the project are yet to be announced, the major players in this story will remain anonymous at least for now. But we are able to tell the story about Tata Technologies' role in this marriage of racing superpowers. Putting two racing legends together sounds like a formula for success but only if processes and systems are in place to ensure that both parties are operating at their best or to borrow a racing term, on all cylinders. To add value to this all-star collaboration, Tata Technologies was asked to assemble a small team of Vehicle Program Business Process Consultants to conduct an assessment. On 2 November, 2011, the team, with Nigel Giddons as Project Manager, arrived at the scene of the partnership to initiate discussions with program leadership to identify immediate priorities. A week later, the project scope was established: To redefine the processes and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) technologies that would support the program's data management requirements. "A fundamental business imperative for product development is have access to a single and unambiguous version of the truth, be it good or bad," said Giddons. "This means that the basic elements of product description computer-aided design (CAD), engineering, bill of material (BOM), cost, investment, weight and timing on a part-by-part basis need to be in continuous alignment so that issues can be found, believed and acted upon." The project took on the titleCAD/BOM Alignment." Before Tata Technologies' project assessment, the partners were using an Excel spreadsheet to capture the BOM, with no connection to CAD. This limited the ability of program leaders to report upon status of program attributes. Change control was also an issue without any form of rigid approval or traceability. Under these circumstances, too much time was being expended debating the validity of data sets and the validity of results. A clear objective of the project was to put in place a far more capable solution. The project title expanded to reflect a common objective: "CAD/BOM Alignment; Retirement of Excel BOM."

Tata Technologies supports development of new super car

The project was under considerable time pressures - a two-month first prototype build phase was slated to begin in late April 2012. Implementing any solution during this phase would be a concern, but so would entering such a phase with a low level of data confidence. The need for speed was an emphasized client requirement, presenting an enormous challenge. The Tata Technologies team was up for this challenge. Giddons, technical leads Anoop Sharma, Douglas Schilling and Chris Stock assembled in mid-November to begin detailing the definitions and specifics of the business requirements and remained the prime client interface team until completion.They were supported by an extended team of solution architects and IT specialists in North America and around the world, developing, testing and validating the solution. The full deployment was staged with a successful foundational deployment in early January. This step helped ensure delivery confidence and enabled early exposure of the full solution to the program. As final solution development and validation continued, Tata Technologies simultaneously trained 70 individuals at project headquarters and at remote supplier locations, preparing a team with supporting implementation material and at-elbow support. Several thousand existing part files had to be checked, repaired and transferred from legacy systems to new systems to support the implementation plan. On 26 March, 2012 just 146 days after the start of the engagement the project went live, using a new, pragmatic, tangible business solution best described as aMicro PLM (Product Lifecycle Management). Engineers now interface with a solution structuring CAD and BOM as one. Each part is now an item with selectable attribute data, including number, name and system ID standardization, cost, weight, model, prototype variant, build timing, make/buy analysis and supplier information.The solution includes embedded workflows that control approval and release processes. The highly efficient, user-friendly solution allows configurable data searching and report capabilities according to engineers and program management needs. "The key is that the data these racing experts are working with is now complete, accessible, unambiguous, controlled - and believed," said Giddons. That's a key to success of not just million-dollar supercars, but any major cross-functional product development effort.

MY STORY - by Chris Stock, PLM Services Manager, Coventry, England Ive been part of the supercar project since the start. We were working with a new client, so our challenge was to demonstrate our capability and value early on to build the level of trust needed to make the project a success. "My role was to provide guidance to help us capture what the client required from a engineers point of view. "Because time was critical, the start of the project was especially challenging. We had to work extremely hard to quickly define the scope of the project based upon what the customer required. "Fortunately, this early challenge helped develop a close working relationship among the team members - and that close working relationship made a difference. It was rewarding to hear from our client that they were pleased with the solution we provided. "We knew we were connecting well with our new client when we were provided a tour of our customer's personal collection of Formula One cars. We felt that we earned our clients trust based on results. "I was proud to be part of this project. It was truly a global effort, and it clearly showed how well Tata Technologies works as a global team."

MY STORY - by Nigel Giddons, Chief Engineer - Vehicle Architecture, Novi, Michigan USA Ive been a Formula One fan for as long as I can remember. Tata Technologies certainly has my thanks for trusting me with the reins of a project that made me meet one of my childhood heroes. "I was especially honored to work with such an enthusiastic group of highly skilled technicians at one of the worlds leading motorsport organizations. My personal contribution was in leading the customer relationships, constructing the team and ensuring that deliverables, timing and commercial matters were understood by our team and customers alike. "During our first introductions to the working-level teams at both partners' facilities, it was clear that we were not known and thus not particularly welcome. The timing of the project was extremely challenging. Our own internal assessments even suggested it could not be done. But by sheer force of will and phenomenal efforts by the team, we met all requirements. "It was personally fulfilling to win over the customer and establish lasting relationships in short order by rapidly demonstrating our experience, capability, clear communication skills and enthusiasm. Climbing a mountain higher than one felt possible is a fantastic feeling." MY STORY - by Anoop Sharma, Project Manager, Pune, India I've dedicated 11 years of my career to improving product development efficiency using Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). It was satisfying to apply that experience to help make the supercar partnership a success. "On the project, I was able to tap into my experience in technical layout and solution definition, resource planning, solution development and deployment. "We were happy to deliver quality results and to do so in 40 percent less time than expected. We were able to provide a packaged solution, and the fact that our client has requested source code of the solution shows that our client truly values it. "One of the client requirements was to keep cost data secure. It was a critical part of this project. That took some time, but we were able to deliver. Effective brainstorming within the team led to the perfect solution. It was a challenging project, but I think we were able to clearly demonstrate Tata Technologies' PLM capabilities to a very important client - and that's important to our future."

MY STORY - by Doug Schilling, Business Process Consultant, Novi, Michigan USA From my perspective, I feel most proud of the global teamwork that made the project a success in such a short period of time. "Since this was the first time our customers clients had engaged in a partnership of this type, there was very little in terms of defined process available at the onset of the project. But through discussions, interviews and analysis, we were able to determine the project's goals and business objectives, and then to define the processes accordingly. "We saw the challenge: The project team had been struggling for some time trying to keep the bill of materials on its Excel spreadsheet in sync with the CAD bill of materials. "I felt that my background in design, engineering and Teamcenter processes helped provide a basis for a thorough analysis of the project objectives and needs. I also enjoyed training the team in the new processes. "We were happy that we could provide the functionality in Teamcenter to enable the team to retire the Excel bill of materials. "As the project progressed, I couldnt help but think how well the client relationship had developed. I could see the enthusiasm that was building around the final solution. "It was great to work with such a dedicated team that included our leadership, project managers, developers and the customer -- and to see the client satisfaction that resulted from the team's efforts. I felt privileged to be asked to participate in such a highprofile activity."

The Concept of Passionate Fun Loving Engineers or PFLEs

Good Morning Gentlemen. I completed a successful test in the new Boxster this weekend at Rockingham Raceway with TF Motorsport supporting. The baseline suspension setup was pretty good but predominantly under steer so we have a list of 'tweaks' to make to reduce this for the 1st race. The engine felt slightly down on power, prime suspect is a collapsed cat or leak in the induction system, not a major concern at this stage. And some oil surge issues which seem to be unique to the banked corners on the Rockingham oval, something to keep an eye on during the season. Please see the link below for some in car footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi9fFWxxM30 Best Regards, Steve

Tata Technologies is a natural habitat for those who believe in the power of engineering to make the world a better place and have found the means to do so.

An email like the one from Steve Brown would be perfectly normal had he been a professional race car driver. Steves profession is not car racing. Steve works at Tata Technologies in the UK as a Module Leader Safety Components in an engineering team working on a clients vehicle program. In addition to his career at Tata Technologies, Steve has pursued a success in UK motorsport, securing the Porsche 924 Championship in 2 0 1 1 ; a n d co nte n d i n g t h e Po r s c h e B oxs te r championship in 2012, partially sponsored by Tata Technologies. Steve is an example of what Tata Technologies calls its PFLEs or Passionate Fun Loving Engineers. Very few companies have been able to truly merge passion with profession for its employees. When it happens, a group of people come to work and do what they believe in rather than any other way. Tata Technologies was born out of the need for a company in the Tata group exclusively focused on the design and engineering of exciting products.

XV

In the words of Group Chairman Ratan Tata; This company would not mean all things to all people. This is a young company in a very exciting line of business, that not only has its place in India but across the world. We decided that this company would not be all things to all people, but would focus itself in the niche area of providing solutions to manufacturing companies. I would like to see Tata Technologies being acclaimed as one of the more innovative and successful design companies in the world .

Clearly, the rationale for the formation of the company meant that it would attract employees who deeply believe in the power of engineering, including the creative use of virtual tools for product development. And that is how a company that is called Tata Technologies becomes a place where a passionate group of engineers start finding meaning in the things that they do. Finding meaning also brings with it a freedom to experiment and brings to the forefront things that one likes doing both as an extension of the professional in them and otherwise. That is the essence of a Passionate Fun Loving Engineer or a PFLE as we call it at Tata Technologies. Tata Technologies business, albeit passion, is better and better product development that can benefit people and make the world a better place. Whereas in professional terms the companys lines of business are Engineering & Design, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Enterprise IT, the true meaning of these lines of business comes from the ingrained engineering passion and aptitude that lies within the heart of each Tata Technologies engineer. WHAT DOES THIS PASSION MEAN FOR BUSINESS? It is the product that makes the company. At the core of any successful product development initiative anywhere and at anytime in the modern world, there is a set of people who want to make a difference. What drives them is their passion, what sustains their momentum is the organisational environment that can allow that passion to thrive. What ultimately achieves success is flawless execution that can only result from a deep technical understanding and experience. As a company that aspires to be the worlds no. 1 partner to the manufacturing industry and focusing on the Automotive, Aerospace and Industrial Machinery industries, Tata Technologies clearly stands at the meeting point of three powerful streams which are engineering passion, terrific opportunity in the industries it services and an understanding of the application of technology that

surpasses all its peers. The results speak for themselves. Beginning in the late 1990s, the company has been trusted with high-end automotive engagements in offshore mode. More recently, the landmark Tata Nano project was manned jointly by Tata Technologies and Tata Motors engineers for subsystem, component and innovation that went into the new product. The Tata Technologies eMO (for electric MObility), a driveable engineering study created by engineers from the Tata Technologies Vehicle Programs& Development (VPD) group opened to rave reviews at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. In the aerospace world, a small group of highly skilled and dedicated aerospace engineers from Tata Technologies JV with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (Tata HAL Technologies) became the first company in the Indian private sector to undertake a Joint Concept Development Program (JCDP) for an overseas business jet manufacturer. Engineers from Tata Technologies braved -40 degree C temperatures in a remote corner of China all of them visiting there for the first time - to deliver on-time and on-budget for a completely new line of service for a client in the Industrial Machinery Industry. A veteran of more than 25 years in the company, T N Umamaheshwaran, CTO, Tata Motors & S u b s i d i a r i e s, h a s t h e following printout in his office:

Passion is something for which one would go the extra mile, put in the extra hours and take on extra responsibility.

K a ru n Ja co b w h o j o i n e d l a s t y e a r s Graduate Engineering Trainee batch has the following to say about why he joined Tata Technologies: Tata Technologies was the dream company for us. When we had our campus placement season there were IT companies giving high pay packets and wanting to hire mechanical engineers like me. However, a few other friends and I did not want to get away from our core domain and write software code for a bank or an insurance company. We wanted to apply our skills to product development engineering and found Tata Technologies to be the right place for our aspirations. THE ROAD AHEAD In a company where lunch hours often turn into a dash to the parking lot to drive a colleagues new car and do a quick rundown of trims, fixtures and interiors, where people discuss aerospace composites over coffee, where seniors never ever say no to youngsters wanting to know more about technology domains; going forward seems easy and the answer seems to lie in letting passion take its own course. While engineering passion is the key element here, harnessing that passion to achieve sustainable growth is the real key. Building a company where Passionate Fun Loving Engineers continue to help create better products on a much larger canvas in an increasingly competitive, and smaller world that is what Tata Technologies wants to enable as a company for its PFLEs. HOW DOES THIS PASSION THRIVE ? A niche, specialist company like Tata Technologies can maintain its steady climb upward only when the individual passion of its engineers gets the right support from the rest of the organisation. The HR team provides that support in the form of new talent acquisition, mentoring and training, and overall employee engagement initiatives. The core of Tata Technologies HR strategy lies in the Return on Human Capital framework which connects employee engagement with business outcomes. Employee engagement serves the dual purpose of delivering value to customer and greater employee productivity; which in turn leads to higher margins that subsidize further enhancing employee engagement. Tata Technologies has been able to scale and democratize its HR functions by making its

processes more fair and transparent through the cross-functional Employee Experience Leadership Team (EeLT), leveraging IT systems and through a conscious move away from a traditional power centerto aninfluencing center . In his book, Human Resource Champions, David Ulrich speaks of a new vision for HR, not by what it does, but by what it delivers results that enrich the organizations value to customers, investors, and employees. At Tata Technologies, EeLT is a unique example of HR represented in the management team by business heads. The HR department and this cross functional team of leaders comprising delivery, sales, human resources and finance team members work together to establish best in class industry practices which promote a high performance culture. In the last couple of years, the primary areas of HR reskilling for enhanced business alignment have happened in the following areas at Tata Technologies: 1. Drive the HR agenda through a clearly measurable and quantifiable Return on Human Capital framework which links business performance with HR actions. Promote High Performance Culture (HPC) by shaping and executing a range of policies and systems. Some of the initiatives include fair and transparent per formance appraisal process, develop competency framework and talent pools, contain costs of recruitment by promoting non-traditional channels like radio campaigns etc. Work with EeLT to Build Winning Teams (WT) by constructing scientific and predictable workforce planning tools which are connected to hardcore business metrices. Offer signature employee experience (SEE) to eve r y m e m b e r o f t h e wo r k fo rce by implementing scalable HR systems. Leverage the EeLT process and work with a collaborative approach with business that enriches learning at individual level for employees in HR and increases HRs orientation to business success. Last but not the least, with help from Finance offering an on the job financial and commercial understanding to each employee in HR, has improved the legitimacy of HR members to Tata Technologies business requirements.

The Flood of 2011: A Salute to the Thailand Team for Overcoming Major Challenges:
Tata Technologies employees in Thailand will remember 2011 for a long time. With the country ravaged by the worst flooding in half a century, the employees persevered not only to get the job done, but to help others as well. The disaster has been described as the worst flooding yet in terms of the amount of water and people affected, resulting in 815 deaths, affecting 13.6 million peoples homes and livelihood and 1 million people becoming jobless because of this disaster. Tata Technologies professional not only persevered; they also turned their focus to helping others. They donated blood, money and time to help advance the recovery efforts of their country. One blood drive in November 2011 helped the Thai Red Cross Society address critical blood shortages in many provinces.

Ready Engineer Program

Talent development is one of the focus areas under the Tata Technologies Sustainability program and has identified technical education as part of the core agenda. The company aims to meet the engineering industrys demand for employable engineers and bridge the industry institute gap by direct intervention. Ready Engineer the Tata Technologies program to train engineers works by identifying meritorious 3rd year Engineering students in respective engineering colleges in India to go through special 40 hours of classroom industry based and tool based training by their expert engineers supported by online training with its proprietary software iGET IT.

Eighteenth Annual Report 2011-12

Tata Technologies Limited

According to a recent Booz & Co. analysis, in Tata Technologies core industries, Automotive, Aerospace & Defense and Industrial Machinery, the Engineering Research and Development, ER&D, spend continued to grow. Auto and Aero grew 8.5% CAGR (1998 to 2010) and is forecast to grow at 9.1% CAGR between 2012 and 2020.The Industrial Machinery ER&D spend for the2012-2020 period CAGR is 0.8% and at USD $19Billion in 2010 which is still substantial. Across industries, India and China headquartered firms continue to rapidly increase ER&D spend, 2005-2010 at 41% CAGR, and are expected to outpace ROW. Engineering Services sourced to low cost countries is forecast to grow at 16.4% CAGR between 2012 & 2017.NASSCOM reports that the Indian ITBPO sector achieved a significant landmark in FY2012 crossing aggregate revenues of USD $100 Billion and Indias market share in the global sourcing arena (grew to) about 58% in 2011. India ER&D exports reached USD $10.2 Billion with YoY growth of 14% . * Tata Technologies is positioned to capitalize on the increase in spend with core competency in the convergence of manufacturing domain skills with leading edge technology coupled with deep experience in both mature and emerging markets. *NASSCOM,The IT-BPO Sector in India, Strategic Review 2012 , Pages 3 and 15 D. Automotive Industry The automotive industry continues to emerge from the recession with strong growth led by emerging markets, factors such as increased urbanization, shift to smaller cars, increased consumer focus on value, the shift from mature markets, global overcapacity, talent shortages, especially in engineering and an environmentally friendly product life cycle. According to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsus senior automotive leaders,A massive shift in the competitive landscape will see China and India emerge as major players in the industry. These markets will join Western Europe, Japan, Korea, and the United States as the centers of design and manufacturing for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers. An era of conscious consumption will emerge. Customers around the world will be more cost conscious, especially in the developing world where millions of people will make their first ever car purchase. Environmental considerations will also weigh heavily on the industry towards 2020. The fierce race to develop and produce electric vehicles, spurred by both customer demand and government incentives, will mean that up to a third of all cars purchased in developed countries in 2020 will not be propelled by an internal combustion engine.** **A new era: Accelerating toward 2020 An Automotive Industry Transformed , Page 3 Our company sees a large proportion of ER&D spend with emphasis on four main areas 1. Electronics and embedded systems, used to differentiate product, offer value-added services and meet regulatory challenges, especially in Improving fuel economy Telematics / Communications theconnected car Safety & Security Features Infotainment 2. Alternative Propulsion systems, such as plug-in hybrids, full electric, and fuel cell powered vehicles will continue to command high levels of investment, subsidized by government in many parts of the world. 3. Reducing weight, lightweight structures in part, through the use of lightweight materials Highstrength steel, aluminum, magnesium and carbon-fiber reinforced polymer, CFRP. 4. Future products and manufacturing processes will be more eco-friendly, leveraging eco-friendly materials and requiring less energy, system-wide, raw material through recycling. Addressing these automotive market trends, Tata Technologies eMO electric mobility study, profiled in another part of this report, represents a big leap forward for Tata Technologies in innovation in the sector. The eMO, which was unveiled in January 2012 at the International Automotive Show in Detroit is the worlds first complete vehicle study developed by an India-based engineering services company. This program showcases innovation in automotive packaging and design, manufacturing processes, as well as EV engineering benchmarks; and was invented to go to market at the disruptive price point of $20,000. E. Aerospace& Defense, A&D The civil aerospace market is rapidly expanding in developing markets and replacements due to the demand for fuel efficient fleet in developed markets. In fact PwC says, referring mainly to production capacity, Our analysis indicates that a significant proportion of suppliers are at risk of not being able to deliver the ramp-up that is required. *** This rapid expansion is putting a strain on supply chains in ER&D as well. Innovation is imperative to drive down costs and meet new customer and regulatory requirements such as stronger, lighter and smart materials and sensors which monitor the equipment health and reducing maintenance costs. Tata Technologies experienced teams in aero-structures design, manufacturing process planning and tool design specifically to address this need. PwC also reports that M&A activity is at record levels in 2011 and consolidation is likely to continue. The need to integrate disparate PLM and ERP/SAP systems from the consolidated companies soon follow, which is a core capability of Tata Technologies. Tata Technologies has been implementing PLM, SAP and MES solutions in A&D,for more than 15 years. Our ability to implement customized PLM and SAP solutions enables entire organizations and their external networks to respond in unison, more efficiently, to changing business conditions. *** PwC Mission control 2011 annual and fourth-quarter review page 3

Talent Acquisition Technology is a crucial component of an integrated HR management initiative. An IT enabled workflow between demand generation for resources and final deployment for revenue generation forms the backbone of our talent acquisition process. The facility enables all stakeholders in the resource acquisition cycle, to seamlessly align & track fulfilment of business requirement. Structured recruitment brand building initiatives continued for positioning the company as an employer of choice for fresh recruits from Campus as well as lateral hires. Across the country,66 premium institutions were covered for campus hiring. This represents an increase of 12% institutions over the previous year. The program also focussed on lateral hiring and ran the highly creative PFLE (Passionate Fun Loving Engineers) campaign to build sustainable differentiation for Tata Technologies as an employer brand. As a part of our continuous drive for cost optimisation, we set up India offshore support for talent management for our North American operations. Talent Diversity The company has improved its workforce diversity through equal-opportunity recruitment programs globally. As on March 31, 2011, women constituted 13% of the total work-force. The segmentation of employees across geographies was 78% in APAC, 12% in NA and 10% in EU. Learning & Development The organisational strategy and business plans define the thrust areas of learning and competency development in Tata Technologies. In addition to the competency development areas identified by the strategy and business plan, LOB specific and individual requirements are captured and translated by the L&D group into the annual L&D plan.These plans are used to prepare the monthly schedules which are augmented by the just in time project requirements from the business. FUNDA for Campus recruits is a benchmarked program with industry and provides two months of structured inputs to new joinees in Technical and Cognitive areas. A wide variety of e-learning programs were proliferated to all levels of employees. Our training achieved coverage of 3246 employees with an average of 5.2 days of training per person for the year.

Risk Management Activities A disciplined approach to risk is important in an organization such as ours in order to ensure that we are executing according to our strategic objectives and this process is designed to identify potential events that, if they occur, will affect our Company. The management has identified the following top 10 risks, classified into external risk factors and internal risk factors, to help achieve business objectives in a robust manner.

External Risk Factors 1. Competitive Environment 2. Inability to do business with Tata Motors competitors 3. Exchange Rate Fluctuations 4. Immigration Regulations

Internal Risk Factors 1. Revenue Concentration 2. Project Execution and Management 3. Human Resources Management 4. Customer Acquisition 5. Suppliers bargaining power in Product Solutions division 6. Leadership Bandwidth & Critical positions

External Risk Factors 1. Competition Risk The Company faces direct competition from the large and medium players in India, as well as from international players in the IT and engineering services sectors. Competition from players in the U.S. and Europe is also a cause of concern for the non-captive business. This could reduce the business prospects of the Company in future.The potential competition would be: In-house IT and engineering departments of large corporations setting up captive operations in India and the APAC region. Competition from established IT service providers moving into engineering Competition from well-established western engineering service providers, as we increasingly work in this space.

Risk Management Activities The Company has ensured its direct presence across geographies through the Companys subsidiaries, JVs, and branch offices. This should help the Company tap major markets across the globe. Through the matured offshore development systems and the conscious efforts to move towards value-added services, the Company is looking for deeper penetration of existing customers. We are also investing in developing niche areas of services such as Full Vehicle Development Program (VPD) etc. The Company is also striving for long term multi-year contracts and improving Global Engagement Model (GEM).These niche practices position the Company as a focused player and help manage competition risk. To beat the competition on its head, the Company has established the Vehicle Programs & Development (VPD) Group, which employs a multidimensional engineering approach to vehicle development by providing various solutions including styling, Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE), CAE, CAD, DMU, and Complete Vehicle Integration. 2. Inability to do business with Tata Motors Competitors Tata Motors Limited (TML), the parent Company, is perceived to be a competitor by many global automotive companies. The Company is facing this risk while positioning itself as established player in the domestic and international market. Risk Management Activities Company has taken steps to build a valued relationship with its prospective customers and positioning itself as independent entity from the parent company. Recently, the Company also diluted its parent Companys ownership through preferential allotment to two Private Equity Funds. From the beginning, as part of its strategy, the Company keeps its business with TML separate from its business with other automakers. Company also continues to focus on growth with non-TML competitors and with complementary industries as part of mitigation strategy. Company has an established Information Security Management System (ISMS) to meet the stringent requirements of the security standard ISO 27001:2005and to ensure confidentiality of each customers data and Intellectual Property (IP). Controls include restricted physical access to specific customer work areas and logical data separation ensured through appropriate controls in the intranet, firewall, etc. The ISMS is built on the strong foundation of the companys Quality Management System (QMS) which conforms to the quality standards ISO 9001:2008 and AS 9100 C (aerospace quality standard). These quality standards call for measures to protect customer assets. A strong regime of internal and external quality audits mandated by these quality standards ensure that these important requirements are not compromised. The company renews (or upgrades) these quality certificates every three years (or when the standard undergoes revision), thus providing customers confidence in our systems. 3. Exchange Rate Fluctuation Risk Company is exposed to the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, because considerable revenue comes from outside of India and it may have negative impact of currency fluctuations on operating results. Risk Management Activities The Company has natural hedge due to its diversified locations across geographies, the Company incurs the expenses in local currency, which is to be met through receipts in same currency. The Company also has taken appropriate foreign exchange cover and spreading our revenues across the various geographies.The Company follows a prudent forex policy. 4. Immigration Risk Risks arising out of country specific legislative changes including restrictions on issuing work visas by foreign governments, as well as to variations in standards of application and enforcement due to political forces and economic conditions. Risk Management Activities The Company is taking conscious efforts to maintain the diversified operations in countries across the world as appropriate. The Company is also acquiring and maintaining preferred status with consulates.
20

The Company has a hire local policy. The Company further mitigates immigration risk by focusing on maintaining the correct onshore-offshore content in engagements with appropriate mix of local staff for onshore. The Company has taken a major initiative to train its support staff based on various locations to comply with all the immigration laws applicable respective location and has robust system in place to comply with all the applicable provisions. Internal Risk Factors 1. Revenue Concentration Since revenues from the U.S. constitute a significant part of the Companys total non-captive revenue, the state of the U.S. economy remains a major concern. The Company has an exposure to various inherent risks in any single business segment due to high revenue concentration and there is always a risk of loss of customer or delay/reduction in the number of new purchase orders due to many factors such as: Geographic concentration - risks arising out of economic condition, global trade policies, local laws, political environment, and work culture of specific countries. Industry concentration risks arising out of cyclical behavior of any one industry, or sudden changes in industry characteristics. Service concentration risks to the predictability and sustainability of business due to the inherent nature of each service. Client concentration risks due to over-dependence on specific clients and likely changes in their business. Resource concentration risks due to the concentration of resources in few client accounts.

Risk Management Activities The Company has spread its operations across the globe, thereby reducing its dependence on any single market. The Company is increasing its efforts in geographically diversifying its clients and revenue. The Company also is monitoring geographical concentration of revenue on a periodic basis to maintain balance, and performing the following activities on periodical basis: 2. Focus on geographical diversification and relationship building in specific markets. Closely monitoring revenue concentration across different verticals. Developing industry-specific solution capability with domain-specific skills and experts. Focusing on growing key verticals. Adopting a commission model when possible. Leveraging product sales to generate services. Training of sales team members. Develop complete suite of service offerings to become end-to-end solution providers. Balancing the service mix to ensure appropriate investment in developing services that gives more competitive advantage including acquisition of companies/technologies/captives. Monitoring client revenue as a percent of total revenue to strike a balance between predictable revenue growth, lowering marketing costs against clients negotiation capability. Identifying areas where proactive value addition can be effected to improve clients competitiveness. Actively seeking new clients to reduce client concentration; and looking at related industries. Monitoring onsite and offshore mix. Securing multi-year contracts.

Project Execution & Management Risk The Company is delivering high-quality engineering and software solutions to its clients but it involves
21

Eighteenth Annual Report 2011-12

Tata Technologies Limited

uncertainties, which have impact on the budgeted time and cost, and it ultimately affects the profitability of the Company. Risk Management Activities The Company has rolled out Global Engagement Model (GEM), which is a consolidation of best practices from the delivery centers around the world. The Company implemented Delivery module in over 80 ongoing projects. GEM helps present a consistent,common face of the Company to the customer. GEM is a key project management methodology that addresses how the Company engages with its customers for all Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) programs.The objectives of this methodology are to: 3. Reduce the amount of effort required to respond to client Improve the program execution and thus deliver on time Respond quicker to client requirements Set a foundation for change within the Company Standardize practices across global teams

HR related Risks The professionals working in the Company are the key assets. The nature of business demands that the Company has adequate professionals with required skill sets at any point of time to meet the customer demands. Considering the high level of turnover of professionals in the industry in which Company operates, the Company could face difficulties in attracting and retaining the necessary work force at any given point of time, which may result in loss of business opportunities. Risk Management Activities The Company is improving employee engagement through various HR initiatives such as ConeXion (engagement survey conducted globally by Gallup once in two years),One-to-One Dialogue an initiative to connect with employees after every 121 days by HR Business Partners. Further, Leadership stays in touch with employees through skill level meetings and Employee Briefing sessions (held simultaneously across all geographies and locations). These sessions are coupled wit Open House, a quarterly briefing session used by the Tata Technologies leadership team to disseminate latest information and updates about the Company followed by an open forum for employees. The Company is also establishing campus-connect initiatives and partnership with leading institute inside and outside the Country where appropriate. The Company is focused towards identifying competencies required to deliver value and groom professionals along multiple dimensions: technology, domain, leadership and management. The Company is focusing on maturing its HR processes as per Tata Business Excellence Model ( TBEM) and People Capability Maturity Model (PCMM) at all locations and to reinforce role based organization structure to facilitate empowerment, rapid decision making and assignment of responsibilities. The Company has an effective Talent Acquisition function to ensure that the proper selection and recruitment process is in place to attract qualified professionals. The Company also has a Learning Center function, which periodically provides training to its employees to support the growing and varied business requirements.

Customer Acquisition Risk In todays competitive business environment, the Company may not be able to predict acquisition of customers and its growth. Risk Management Activities The Company has deployed Strategic Go-to-Market plan and is taking constant efforts to improve customer acquisition processes and discipline. The Company has also nominated the Executive sponsors for its key accounts. Further, the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system matured across all

22

territories/countries with process and technology improvements across areas such as Quoting, Pre-Sales, Sales-Delivery Integration, and Visibility to Customer Billing & Payables. The management is closely monitoring the health of sales pipeline, conversions ratios etc. periodically. 5. Suppliers bargaining power in Product Solutions division In Product Solutions business division, the Company has limited bargaining power with various suppliers of the software products we distribute around the globe. Risk Management Activities The Companys risk is not greater than any other channel partner in its competitive landscape. Each of these partners is unique, but shares common attribute in the complexity of their evolving distribution strategies. The nature of their business model generates frequent changes to account coverage, market support, and availability of margins to partners. The Company has a constant focus on mitigating these factors through executive relationships, good partner management practices, and maintaining strong performance in the Companys field operations. 6. Leadership Bandwidth & Critical positions There is a risk that the second line of Executive Management (Leadership Team) may not be available at all the times. Permanent / long-duration unavailability of such key executives may result in the adverse impact on the smooth operations of the Company if the relevant succession plan is not in place. Risk Management Activities: Succession Plan is in place for the entire Leadership Team (short term in case of an emergency and long term from job rotations and growth perspective). Growth of next line of leaders is ensured through Learning Organization.This is also ensured by getting them to play higher roles in their existing capacity. J.

Corporate Governance Report

1. PHILOSOPHY Corporate governance has become the new corporate jargon like share-holder value. Corporate governance is really a state of mind. It is embodied in the feelings and traditions of the Tata group. JRD Tatas name has been mentioned several times today and the group owes a great deal of this tradition to him. He often referred to the managers role as one of trusteeship. Corporate governance is today, one of the attributes of a good corporate citizen. It is part of the management framework, but it does not replace the tradition ingrained into your bones. RATAN TATA Ceremony of National Award for Excellence in Corporate Governance, 2001 The philosophy and ultimate goal at Tata Technologies is to serve corporate purposes for enhancing the long term value of the organization for its stakeholders, by providing a framework within which stakeholders can pursue the objectives of the organisation most effectively. This philosophy is further strengthened by Tata Groups legacy through implementation of the Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM). TBEM is a customisedto-Tata adaptation of the globally renowned Malcolm Baldrige organizational assessment model mandated to help Tata Group companies achieve business objectives through specific processes which delivers strategic direction and drives business improvement. TBEM assessments now lay renewed emphasis in areas of climate change, safety, Corporate Governance and innovation. Assessments now capture Corporate Governance practices among Tata Group Companies as part of the main application. Corporate Governance signifies acceptance by management of the inalienable rights of shareholders as the true owners of the organization and of their own role as trustees on behalf of the shareholders. Corporate Governance is a set of principles, policies, processes and practices affecting the way a corporation is run and which help it fulfill responsibilities to all its stakeholders shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers, government and society at large. It is about how an organization is managed. The Leadership of Tata Technologies continuously aims for Change for the Better with strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, sustainable growth and increase in the stakeholder value. This orientation towards fair and ethical governance stems from the culture and mindset imbibed in it as part of the Tatas and upheld through a passion for excellence championed by senior leaders. Tata Technologies is committed to adding value and achieving continual improvements through leadership by example. For Tata Technologies, Corporate Governance implies observance of certain basic principles of ethical growth and is more than mere compliance with global standards of governance and disclosure. Tata Technologies leadership team is committed to managing the Company in accordance with the organizations Vision, Mission and Values. Vision: We are determined to be the worlds number one partner to the manufacturing industry. Mission: Better products benefit people that is our business.

GAAP comprises the mandatory accounting standards notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards Rules, 2006). Accounting policies have been consistently applied except where a newly issued accounting standard is initially adopted or a revision to an existing accounting standard requires a change in the accounting policy hitherto in use. b. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the management of the Company (Management) to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period / year and balances of assets and liabilities and disclosures relating to contingent liabilities as at the date of financial statements. Provisions are made for all known losses and liabilities, future unforeseeable factors that may affect the profit on fixed price service contracts and also towards likely expenses for providing post-sales client support on such contracts. c. Revenue Recognition Revenue from services on time and materials contracts is recognized when services are rendered and related costs are incurred i.e. based on certification of time sheets and billed to clients as per the terms of specific contracts. In case of fixed price contracts, revenue is recognized over the life of the contract based on milestones achieved as specified in the contracts or by proportionate completion method on the basis of the work completed. Foreseeable losses on such contracts are recognized when probable. Revenue from rendering Annual Maintenance Services (SAP-ERP) is recognized proportionately over the period of contract. Revenue from third party software products and hardware sale is recognized upon delivery. Income from interest and rent is recognized on time proportion basis.

Depreciation on Assets sold / scraped during the period is provided for prior to the month of sale / scrap as the case may be. The Company charges 100% depreciation on assets individually costing less than Rs. 5000 in the year of purchase. f. Leases Assets leased by the Company in its capacity as lessee, where the Company has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance lease. Such lease are capitalised at the inception of the lease at lower of the fair value or the present value of the minimum lease payments and a liability is created for an equivalent amount. Each lease rental paid is allocated between the liability and the interest cost so as to obtain a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability for each year. Lease arrangements where the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset substantially vest with the lessor, are recognized as operating lease. Lease payments under operating leases are recognized in the Profit & Loss account on a straight line basis. g. Foreign Currency transactions Income and expenses in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary current assets and current liabilities are reinstated at period-end exchange rates and the profit / loss so determined and also the realized exchange gains / losses are recognized in the Profit & Loss Account.

Diminution in value is provided for where the management is of the opinion that the diminution is other than temporary in nature. Impairment of Assets At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews using internal resources the carrying amounts of its fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that the assets suffered an impairment loss. If any such condition exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of impairment loss. Recoverable amount is the higher of an assets net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected from continuing use of the asset and from its disposal are discounted to their present value using a pre tax rate that reflects the current market assessments of time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized immediately as income in the profit & loss account. Inventories Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is ascertained on a moving weighted average basis. Employee Benefits i. Gratuity The Company has an obligation towards gratuity, a defined benefit retirement plan covering eligible employees.

Frequently Asked Questions on Dematerialization: 1. What is Demat and what are its benefits? Dematerialization (Demat in short form) signifies conversion of a share certificate from its present physical form to electronic form for the same number of holding. It offers scope for paperless trading through state-of-the-art technology, whereby share transactions and transfers are processed electronically without involving any share certificate or transfer deed after the share certificates have been converted from physical form to electronic form. Demat attempts to avoid the time consuming and complex process of getting shares transferred in the name of buyers as well its inherent problems of bad deliveries, delay in processing/fraudulent interception in postal transit, etc.
125

Eighteenth Annual Report 2011-12

Tata Technologies Limited

Dematerialization of shares is optional and an investor can still hold shares in physical form. The Depositories Act, 1996 has been enacted to regulate the matters related and incidental to the operation of Depositories and demat operations. Two Depositories are in operation - National Securities Depository Limited(NSDL) andCentral Depository Services Limited (CDSL). Following are the benefits of demat: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 2. Elimination of bad deliveries Elimination of all risk associated with physical certificates No stamp duty on transfers Immediate transfer/trading of securities Faster settlement cycle Faster disbursement of non cash corporate benefits like rights, bonus etc. SMS alter facility Periodic status reports and information available on internet Ease related to change of address of investor Elimination of problems related to transmission of demat shares Ease in portfolio monitoring Ease in pledging the shares

How does the Depository System operate? The operations in the Depository System involve the participation of a Depository, Depository Participants, Company/Registrars and Investors. The Company is also called the Issuer. A Depository (NSDL and CDSL) is an organization like a Central Bank, i.e. Reserve Bank where the securities on an investor are held in electronic form, through Depository participants. A Depository Participant is the agent of the Depository and is the medium through which the shares are held in the electronic form. They are also the representatives of the Investor, providing the link between the investor and the company through the Depository. To draw analogy, the Depository system functions very much like the banking system. A bank holds funds in accounts whereas; a Depository holds securities in accounts for its clients. A bank transfers funds between accounts whereas; a Depository transfers securities between accounts. In both systems, the transfer of funds or securities happens without the actual handling of funds or securities. Both the banks and the Depository are accountable for safe keeping of funds and securities respectively.

3.

How to demat ones shares? First, the Investor will have to open an account with a Depository Participant (DP) and get a unique Client ID number. Thereafter, he/she will have to fill up a Dematerialization Request Form (DRF) provided by the DP and surrender the physical shares, which is to be dematerialized to the DP. The DP upon receipt of the shares and the DRF will send an electronic request to the companys Registrar and Share Transfer Agent through the Depository for confirmation of demat. Each request will bear a unique transaction number. The DP will simultaneously surrender the DRF and the shares to the Companys Registrar and Share Transfer Agent with a covering letter requesting the Registrar and Share Transfer Agent of the Company to confirm demat. The Companys Registrar and Share Transfer Agent after necessary verification of the documents received from the DP will confirm demat to the Depository. This confirmation will be passed on from the Depository to the DP, which holds the Investors account. After receiving this confirmation from the Depository, the DP will credit the account with the shares so ematerialized. The DP will hold the shares in the dematerialized form thereafter on the Investors behalf and the Investor will become the beneficial owner of these dematerialized shares.

126

4.

Can the dematerialized shares be converted back into physical form? If the Investor is holding shares in electronic form, he/she will still have the option to convert their holding to physical form by submitting a Rematerialization Request Form (RRF) through their DP in the same manner as Dematerialization. Upon receipt of such request from the DP, the Company will issue share certificates for the number of shares so rematerialized.

5.

What are the charges to be paid to demat ones physical shares? Will the Company pay for it or does the Investor have to pay for it? The charges differ from DP to DP and therefore the Investor will have to contact his/her DP for the same. The charges for demat have to be borne by the Investor.

6.

Can the share purchased in physical form be directly given to the DP for dematerialization? Prior to dematerialization of the shares, they have to be registered in favor of the Investor. Hence, the Investor has to necessarily lodge the share certificates with a duly executed transfer deed with the Companys Registrar and Share Transfer Agent.

7.

How will the Investor get dividends on dematerialized shares? Will the shareholder get the Annual Report after dematerialization of the shares and would the Investor be able to attend the AGM? The Depository Participants will give the list of demat account holders and the number of shares held by them in electronic form on the Record date to the Company (Beneficiary Persons, known as Benpos in short). On the basis of Benpos, the Company will issue dividend warrants in favor of the demat account holders. The rights of the shareholders holding shares in demat form are at par with the holders in physical form. Hence the Investor will be eligible to get the Annual Report and will have the right to attend the AGM as a shareholder.

8.

What are the chances of any fraud/disputes in using a demat account? Whom should the Investor approach in such cases? Common risk factors applicable to trading in physical shares like mismatch in signatures, loss in postal transit etc., are absent since the dematerialized shares are traded scrip less. However, in the unlikely event of any other dispute, the concerned Depository Custodian viz. NSDL/CSDL or SEBI would have to be approached for resolving such issues.

9.

Can the Investor pledge his/her shares in demat form for the purpose of availing any funding/loan arrangement with the bankers? Yes.The Investor will have to contact his/her DP for this.
