iGATE:
iGATE Global Solutions Ltd(formerly Mascot Systems Ltd), incorporated in Dec 1993 to
provide offshore software delivery services from its offshore development centre located at
Bangalore. Latter the company has set up two more offshore development centers at Chennai and
Pune. The company originally incorporated as a private limited company was converted into a
public limited company on Jan 2000. The Board has changed the name of the company to
'iGATE Global Solutions Limited' during the year 2003.
VISION
iGATE is not merely another static business entity, which provides IT Services, Business
Consulting and Business Process Outsourcing. Instead, it is a dynamic force that seeks to
transform the way the world does business. iGATE will evolve and change over time to meet the
10
needs of the evolving markets. It will proactively shape new solutions and set the pace of change
in the market place.
VALUES
The Values which inspire us are summed up in one word PRIDE. PRIDE is an acronym for
Passion, Respect, Innovation, Denizen and Excellence.
At iGATE, the CEO and the Governing Council Members believes that in order to bring the
future to present they need leaders. Then the questioned arisen was, is managers different from
leaders and does organizations need leaders. The answer they came up was “leaders create,
managers preserve”. To make this possible they went further in getting involved in creating a
framework for leadership development. The mandate was to create a model that fuels the
organizational and individual growth.

Fig: Leadership Development and growth
This helped the company to grow as well as they have taken both organic and inorganic path for
growth. Above all innovation was the center of their core values. Over the last five years iGATE
has successfully transformed into best in class performer.

Ability to retain top talent:
1. iGATE has consistently ranked among top employers
2. Industry-leading brand recognition to attract top talent
IGate announced that it would be acquiring a majority stake in Indian IT firm Patni Computer
Systems. What makes the deal interesting is that Patni is actually larger than IGate in terms of
market cap. The integration of Patni Computer Systems with iGATE, expected to be completed
in 12 months, offers multifold synergies to the combined entity. This should trigger a re-rating of
Patni's stock during the period. iGATE has offered 503.5 per share to purchase a nearly 63%
stake in Patni.
This values the seventh-largest IT exporter listed in India at 6,614 crore, or nearly 10 times its
expected 2011 earnings. Most other top-tier players command a P/E of more than 20.
The wide discount in Patni's valuations is on account of its lower growth and dwindling margins
13
in the last few quarters. It has not been able to take advantage of the global IT outsourcing
demand recovery due to internal issues. iGATE's entry is expected to change Patni's fortunes.
First, it settles the long pending ownership woes of Patni, thereby offering focused leadership.
Second, iGATE will strengthen Patni's banking and financial vertical. Patni has traditionally
focused on insurance, manufacturing, retail and distribution segments. These verticals account
for nearly two-thirds of its revenue.
In the last few quarters, the banking and finance vertical has seen a sharp turnaround globally.
But this has not benefited Patni; the domain makes up for just over 11% of its revenue. For its
larger peers, BFSI contributes more than 40% of total revenues.
iGATE enjoys a higher exposure to BFSI vertical, which should strengthen Patni's offerings.
iGATE has shown a higher double-digit growth in the last few quarters in both sales and profits.
Its operating profitability has also been stable during the period. This could boost Patni's growth,
which languishes in the lower single digits.
Combined entity will have close to $1 billion in revenue and over 24,000 in headcount
Combination will create a compelling new go-to-market strategy, with iGATE’s
differentiated iTOPS and outcomes-based pricing model augmented by Patni’s delivery
expertise and focus on micro-verticals
Combination will bring together world class leadership that can create scale synergies
and growth
Firmly positions iGATE-Patni as a top-tier player in the highly-fragmented global IT
industry
14
Combined company will have a strong presence across several verticals including
Banking & Financial Services, Insurance, Manufacturing & Retail, Communication &
Media, and Utilities
Combined company can create a stronger employer brand to help retain talent and reduce
attrition iGATE has been ranked among top 3 in all the best employer surveys in India in
the last 4 years
Increased access to global customers and entry into new geographies
Combined entity will have 360+ clients globally including top Fortune 500 blue
chip clients
Healthy combined client mix: Top client – 13%, Top 5 – 38%, Top 10 – 49%
Combined global footprint with presence in North America (80%), EMEA (14%),
and APAC (6%)
Diversified customer base – two $100+ million customers, two $50+ million
customers, and more than 36
$5+ million customers
Opportunity to cross-sell services to a broader client base

About the Deal:
iGate has debt commitment from Jefferies & Company, Inc. and RBC Capital Markets,
LLC totaling up to $750 million, consisting of:
Approximately $600 - $700 million for transaction financing, depending on the
number of shares acquired in the mandatory tender offer; and
$50 million revolving credit facility
The long-term capital structure will likely consist of Senior Notes and be put in place
during Q2 2011
Based on the available commitments, pro forma leverage expected between 3.0x-3.5x
fully consolidated adjusted EBITDA, and net debt(1) expected below 2.0x fully
consolidated adjusted EBITDA
Given the combined Company’s anticipated growth and expected free cash flow
generation, iGate expects net leverage levels to decline continuously

INTEGRATION COULD BE PAINFUL:
If there is management attrition at Patni, then integration will be painful and will delay the
process. iGate is heavily leveraged. Patni is sitting on cash. Now, there could be loans and
advances that could go to iGate books once the transaction gets completed.
