Rank - 101 : Steria India

India continued to play an important role in Sterias global delivery model,
as its India delivery centers serviced UK clients like BBC, BT, the NHS and
Tesco. Sterias foray into the Indian domestic market, with ManagAirport and
Steria STORM, was even more engaging. With strategic hires, it mobilized a
dedicated team to implement its India go to market strategy. Its India CEO is
now supported by the newly hired COO, Asma Aidi, who is overseeing the continued
evolution of Steria India as a CoE for integrated IT/BPO services.

 

Rank - 102 : Numeric Power Systems

Though the topline remained relatively flat, profitability increased by
10%the fact that it was among the top three players in the high-end UPS (above
5KVA) market must have helped. However, the focus was on the green energy
business with offerings like solar panel installations, LEDs and micro wind
turbines. As part of its silver jubilee celebrations, Numeric launched its
fully-owned subsidiary, Numeric Solar Energy to undertake integrated solar power
installations. It walked the talk by investing Rs 15 lakh in its rooftop solar
panels.

 

Rank - 103 : OnMobile

Despite the spurt in telecom revenue, it was a no-brainer that in the middle
of the recession, OnMobile would not be able to sustain its three years of
stupendous growth. RBT generated the maximum revenue and over 250 mn songs were
downloaded from its platforman increase of 55%. It launched Reverse RBT with
Tata DOCOMO in India and joined Vodafone for RBT in Africa, Asia, Central Europe
and Romania. It also signed up with Telefonica for VAS in thirteen Latin
American countries committing an initial investment of

370 lakh.

 

Rank - 104 : Cranes Software

The recession decelerated the growth of this emerging product vendor,
squeezing cash flows and affecting business from exports. To overcome these
difficulties, the company initiated direct sales from its subsidiaries, thus
considerably increasing its subsidiary revenues and reducing the going forward
collection period. The US subsidiary, ETA, entered into a distribution agreement
to sell Denton Virtual Dummy products. On the domestic front, Cranes lost
significant revenue in the third party business, because The MathWorks Inc, the
parent company of MATLAB, decided to set up its own operations in India.

oil sectors, and has clients like state electricity boards and distribution

Rank - 107 : QuEST Global

In a tough year with slower growth, QuEST, worked on the next phase of its
growth. The strategy included working on improving operating margins and
relocating global headquarters to Singapore, even as it established itself as
among the handful of serious pure play, independent engineering services players
in India, ready to go the IPO way. The big news of the year was the kicking off
of its manufacturing SEZ in Belgaum, Indias first in aerospace, which has
already bagged a number of deals for manufacturing parts of Airbus A350 XWB and
Boeing 787.

to Sony and significantly shrunk its semiconductor business did not have much
impact on the Indian market. Here, Epson maintained its #1 position in the
market when it came to Dot Matrix Printers (51%), POS printers (55%) and
projectors (16%). Followed by 22% growth in the serial DMP business and 27% in

products.

phones), Transcend, IOmega and A-Data were the principals added. At Rs 306 crore,
