Ladies and Gentlemen,
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 25th Annual General Meeting of your Company.
Industry outlook
India’s IT industry contributed around 7.7 per cent to the country’s GDP and is expected to contribute 10 per cent of India’s GDP by 2025. This is indicative of the fact that IT is on a continuous growth path.
• Growing Demand : Expanding economy to propel growth in local demand. Strong growth in demand for exports from new verticals.
• Global Footprint : Indian IT firms have delivery centersacross theworld and are well diversified across verticalssuch as BFSI, telecom and retail.
• Competitive Advantage : IT and ITeS sector in India has a low cost advantage by being 5-6 times less expensive than the US.
• Policy Support : Tax exemption of 3 years in a block of 7 years to startups under “Startup India”.
Road Ahead
India is the topmost offshoring destination for IT companiesacross the world. Having proven its capabilities in delivering
bothon-shoreandoff-shoreservicestoglobalclients,emergingtechnologiesnowofferanentirenewgamutofopportunitiesfortopITfirmsinIndia.Exportrevenueoftheindustryisexpectedto grow 7-9 per cent year-on-year to US$ 135-137 billion in FY19.

Smart Cities: The Future of Urban Development
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected and technology-dependent, a new wave of smart applications is changing how we approach everyday activities. Utility appliances such as intelligent fridges, personal assistants like Amazon’s Alexa or smart home security applications create opportunities formore efficient living.While the ideas of “Smart Cities” hasbeen proposed as the future of urbanism, the question remains: how do we connect this new technology for the ultimately “efficient”society?
Smart cities bring together infrastructure and technology to improve the quality of life of citizens and enhance their interactions with the urban environment. But how can data from areas such as public transport, air quality meters and energy productionbeintegratedandeffectivelyused?
The Internet of Things (IoT) has the answers. Created as part of the smart technology movement, the IoT enables various objects and entities to communicate with each other through the internet. By creating a network of objects capable of smart interactions, the door is opened to a wide range of technological innovations that could help improve public transport, give accuratetrafficreportsorprovidereal-timeenergyconsumptiondata.

4 Allied Digital Annual Report 2018-19
Hello Investors,
A year has quickly gone by. Once again, this year too, we have added several customers in the US and a few in India too. Another big news is, that we have bagged orders for three smart cities. We feelmoreexcitedabout this year, aswe see lotof tractionacrosstheglobefornewbusiness.Wearegettingverybusyforexecution of these projects and imperative to mention that, we have almost completed a setup for a newbusiness offering inmosttalkedabouttechnologyecosystemofArtificialIntelligence(AI).Ialsowanttosharetwootherimportantnews.Wearenowwell established in 8 more countries across Europe. We havebeen able to control our finance costs and have been still inprocess of lowering debts further. All of this promises a robust future for the company.
India’s economy, though staggered at the start of this year, with the re-elected government, with emphasis on transformation, the coming quarters this financial year should improve. Weare witnessing a roller coaster ride of economy globally, as trade sanctions, political crisis in middle east, global warming challenges, brexit issues in UK and social-media sensitive political news in the US bring up and downs. I think, we need to get used to higher levels of volatility in today’s world. Fortunately, Indian economy is pointing towards stability. The IT sector is seeing a
revolution, due to major focus of enterprises as well as certain global governments on transformation, including India. Also, on the other hand, technologies such as IoT and AI are key catalysts for transformation.
Your company is even stronger now, to take up large transformation projects which are ably supported by newer skillsets, geographical presence and full-scale experience. A unique strength of this company is to drive tactical transformation projects, be it enterprise or government sector, the continuously touching operations support benchmarks and unique comprehensive systems integration experience. Talking about our delivery improvement capabilities, today we serve our core managed services leveraging state of the art cloud based technologies.We have successful deployments of our ADiTaaSplatform4.0andhavegoodcloudskills.WehaveenhancedAIenabled cyber security serviceofferings todeliver long servicecontractsefficiently.Thisyear,thenewwins,includingdeliveringsmart city projects will keep the delivery team extremely busy. On the sales side, we have added new partnerships, enhanced existing relationships and plan to revamp our marketing to fuel new business. Scaling to a larger size organization, delivering seamlessly globally without falling off our track of qualityservices, customer focus and corporate governance, is our key operational challenge being addressed today.
Going forward, as infrastructure and applications converge as the key enablers to execute and sustain transformation initiatives, our company becomes even well positioned to take up large opportunities globally. Our three pronged strategy of
1. “Growth Accelerators” consisting of enhanced core managed services,
2. “Big Drivers”, such as Smart city and large transformation projects and
3. “The innovators “ (exciting world of AI, IoT and Robotic process automation) will keep us focused and attractive.
Thanks to the overwhelming support from you all and the visionary strategy of the management ably supported by our smartfinanceteam.Istronglybelievethatourmottoof“Passion,Teamwork and Innovation” stands tall amidst the company growth backed by your belief and trust in us.
