Male correspondent: Mr. Senapathy.

Suresh: Yes, please, speaking.

Male correspondent: Hello, this is Chris at the BBC in London.

Suresh: Hi Chris, how are you?

Male correspondent: Hi. I am good, are you okay yourself?

Suresh: Yes, I am fine, thank you.

Male correspondent: Excellent. Can you recall just for a couple of minutes about
the results?

Suresh: Absolutely.

Male correspondent: Okay. Hold the line for one second Sir.

Suresh: Sure.

Male correspondent: Okay, I believe you can hear me all right.

Suresh: Right.

Male correspondent: Okay. I will ask you to speak nice and clearly because the
line is not very good. Could I ask you to introduce yourself, give me your name
and your official title.

Suresh: That's right. I am Suresh Senapathy, CFO Wipro India.

Male correspondent: Okay. Now, we have the results just out. At first, we think
they don't seem to be good news. How would you describe the results that you
published today?

Suresh: Well, you know, you should see that in a year of major discontinuity in
the IT services market, we continued on our path towards our vision of global
top 10 IT service providers. We had three distinctive achievements. On the
acquisition front, we completed three acquisition, successfully integrated 3000
people, retained 100% of the customers, and saw revenue synergies coming
through. Today, if you look at Wipro customers account, 20% of the customer

base in Wipro Spectramind, and around 10% of the revenue. In energy and utility
consulting practice, which we acquired from AMS, we are beginning to see revenue
synergy coming through in the first quarter of integration. Similarly, if you
look at on the organic front, our enterprise business grew 51% year on year to
$357 million. We commissioned the first global command center in India to remote
manage over 110 locations in UK, concluded three quality consulting assignments,
and won many deals in financial services like LEHMAN. On the operational front,
we added over 3000 members in team Wipro and had the highest historical growth
rate in man months billed. So, to summarize, we had a smooth ride on a rough
road and wait to accelerate on the free way.

Male correspondent: Okay. Let's just talk about the profit margins, because they
are obviously crucial. You have seen revenue grow 33%, the profit dropped 5%.
Can you promise your investors that it is only a short-term phenomenon?

Suresh: Well, yes, we said that last year was an year of investment so far as
sales and marketing expenses are concerned, it is an investment so far as
acquisitions are concerned because it take you quarters for you to leverage on
the synergies of those acquisition. On the Spectramind, which is about a year
old now in terms of acquisition, we are seeing tremendous synergies and
achievements and we are seeing the distinctive results of the Spectramind. On
the latest acquisition we did last quarter, we had to take about Rs. 70 million
of loss because of the lock-in bonuses that had to be paid, and which will not
have that much of an impact going forward. But, rupee continued to appreciate.
Then, we will continue to invest in sales and marketing, and there will be
continuing to be little bit of pricing pressure in terms of the commitment that
has been made, but there is scope for us to go up in terms of utilization. We
will make much more India hours to get on to the accelerated synergy. So, in the
short term, there will be some softness in Wipro margins. But, going forward, we
hope it will recoup fast enough. And, another extraordinary thing that happened
so far as 2002-2003 is concerned, we had a loss of about Rs. 370 million as a
49% share of our investment in Wipro GE Medical System, a joint venture we have
in the medical equipment business. It had always had a track record of profits,
but last year for variety of reasons, we had a loss, and we will be quickly
taking steps to end this current fiscal and exit with a profitable turn around
there in that particular business. Also, if you remember, we had done a
discontinuance of an ISP business, we got a swing of about 3% on account of net
income on that front, which will not be there in this particular financial year.
And, the third thing was taxation, the government for one particular year, that
is last fiscal, had levied tax on software services exports, which has
disappeared in this particular budget. So, you will see the improvement of that.
So, net to net, there were certain cost structure which will not be there this
time, but there will be softness in the short term, but we hope it will recovery
fast enough.

Male correspondent: Let's talk briefly and finally about that issue of price
pressure because you are in a market where it is quite hard to define kind of

bottom levels of prices. Is the pricing war begun, are you in a pricing war, and
can you see it ending?

Suresh: Well, if you see the kind of services that we offer, there are some ADM
services which are becoming more and more commoditized, which is application
development maintenance and there are certain other services like, whether it is
enterprise applications or it is total outsourcing or system integration, these
are the services and infrastructure support services are higher services where
the pricing pressures are low. So our endeavor is to get into more and more
growth in the high-end services as a result of which we will be able to hold on
to the pricing pressure. But today, so far as the ADM business are concerned,
there are pressures, some of them have been committed to, the impact of that
will be felt in the next two quarters, and overall our objective would be to try
and mitigate by going up the value chain.

Male correspondent: Thank you very much for your time Sir. I very much
appreciate your help.

Suresh: My pleasure. Good bye.

Male correspondent: Thank you. Have a good day.

Suresh: Thank you.
