3. Client traction in the mid-range bracket has picked up. ($20-50 Million)
4. Focus on near-shoring strategy with centers in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.

TCS Competitor (Infosys):

TCS is an integrated service provider and has started investing in its consultancy division with
target revenue of $650 million by 2009.

Looking at the competitive service offerings and revenues, Infosys is the nearest competitor of
TCS. Infosys revenues are just shy of around billion dollars compared to TCS.

An Infosys product like Finacle is growing in popularity and is giving heads on competition to TCS
BaNCS core banking solution.

Similar to TCS, Infosys has also their consulting division targeted to provide consultancy to
current customer base and new clients.

In the last fiscal year TCS and MBT are the only two companies to crack a billion dollar projects.
