Birla Technologies, the IT business unit of the Aditya Birla Group, showed a
lackluster performance this year, with revenues dipping nearly 15%. Exports
accounted for most of its revenues, about a average of 93% of its entire revenue
earnings. The last two quarters of the year was a literal washout, as the
domestic market contributed only 25 % to the overall revenues. With allies like
Lawson Software, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Sun, and Solcorp, the company with its
strength of more than 450 professionals, is expected to net in better results.
