IT, BPO,…… KPO ?



What’s next after IT and BPO?
=====================

-- After witnessing strong growth in IT outsourcing services and BPO and establishing itself in the outsourcing arena, India is poised for a tremendous growth in the field of KPO - Knowledge process
outsourcing. The time has come for India to become an established KPO player as well.

-- KPO industry in India is currently estimated at around 5 billion USD and has grown at a CAGR of more than 50% in the last 4 to 5 years. A most recent survey and analysis estimates KPO outsourcing world wide to touch 16.7 billion USD by 2011. This implies an annual growth rate of 40%. Furthermore, the KPO industry in India is estimated to grow to 11.2 billion USD by 2011. With the stabilization of US majors and the Capital markets expected, the growth rate and the size of the opportunity could only improve.

-- KPO is poised for a strong growth and this growth can be compared with the growth of IT from the start of this century / end of previous century.

-- KPO belongs to a high value process chain where the achievement of the objective is highly dependent on the skills, domain knowledge and the experience of the people carrying out the activity.

-- KPO calls for the application of specialized domain pertinent knowledge of a high level. KPO is a combination of BPO – Business process outsourcing, RPO – Research process outsourcing and APO - Analysis proves outsourcing.

-- KPO derives it’s strength from the depth of Knowledge, Judgment and experience factor; BPO in more contrast is about size, volume and efficiency.

-- BPO is more of entering unsorted data into a black box, while KPO is about retrieving useful
information from the back box

===================================

Valuation !

As on today eClerx with FY09 sales of ~ Rs150Cr has business opportunity which runs
in billions of dollars. As per one estimate KPO business will be $17bn industry by 2010-11 and
India will do 70% of outsourcing which is ~12bn of business.

Assuming that 70% of the KPO outsourcing done in India ($17bn industry by 2010-11 x 70% outsourcing ~ $11.9bn by 2010-11). It means scale of opportunity is approx Rs 53,000Cr ($1 ~ Rs 45).

Assuming that eClerx is able to achieve only 10% of market share by 2010-11, which
throws a business of Rs5,300 Cr for eClerx which is almost 35 times more than the
current sales of eClerx which is just ~ Rs 150Cr.

Considering risk and unknown factors, eClerx will be able to give a return of at least 10
times in 3 years or even 20 times since it has sufficient head room to grow.

Mudar Patherya explains how to identify a bull market.

Mudar Patherya explains how to identify a bull market.



It's a bull market if you've woken up this morning with the feeling: "Thank god, it is Monday!"



• It's a bull market if the analyst takes a deep breath, runs his mind quickly across 1985, 1992, 2000 and says, "But it is different this time."



• It's a bull market if the MD is talking to you but looking at the CNBC ticker.



• It's a bull market if your son asks you for the meaning of 'support' and you confuse him with trend lines and candlesticks.



• It's a bull market if your sense of time evolves from 'I knew her from the time she was this small' to 'It was in those days when Webel-SL was only Rs 5…'



• It's a bull market when your broker says, "Lai liyo baapa, share jowa nahin maley!"



• It's a bull market if you discover a sudden respect for the middle-level accountant of a publicly listed company and suffix his name with a 'ji'.



• It's a bull market if every analyst advises caution but adds, "However, in the long term we are bullish."



• It's a bull market if you're suddenly discovered on the social circuit because you happen to be the husband of the wife who is a niece of the person who was a friend of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala's father 30 years ago.



• It's a bull market if people call you up to discuss the weather, the pollution, the nation, the Marxists and inevitably end up with, "Kuch khareedne laayak?"



• It's a bull market if everyone is convinced that the country has a great future but will still call you as soon as the market melts three per cent and ask, "Badhoo baraabar, ney?"



• It's a bull market if a Rs 10 crore profit becomes a Rs 15 crore profit quarter-on-quarter and you sneer dismissively, "Kuch ho nahin raha hai!"



• It's a bull market if you disinvest big time but prefer to leave the surplus with the broker saying, "Aaakhir aapko hi toh mujhe dena hai."



• It's a bull market if you apply the ROI (return on investment) concept to everything your wife says you need at home and grumble: "Yaad hai, if we had not bought the microwave oven but bought Saboo Sodium stock, today you would have been a queen riding an Alto…"



• It's a bull market if you see 25-year-olds trade derivatives arrogantly and come away feeling that you need to read Victor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning all over again.



• It's a bull market if you encounter a new species of professional who only works five days a week from 9.55 to 3.30 and responds to everything with 'Jalsaa chhey!'



• It's a bull market when housewives discover an undiscovered part of their personalities in the 90 minutes between putting the tadka on the daalm and picking pappu up from school by calling the broker and asking "Tewariji, aaj kya naya hai?"



• It's a bull market when the Opinion Democratisation Index peaks, usually manifested in 23-year-olds dismissing companies with a 10 per cent increase in earnings as 'chors'.



• It's a bull market when you ask why Prism Cement will go to Rs 81 and the answer is 'Kyonki website pey likha hain'.



• It's a bull market if Enam puts out a research report indicating that the stock could double in a year and you say 'Bus?'



• It's a bull market when the management is explaining its restructuring, business model and sustainability agenda and the analyst simply wants to know 'Lekin EPS kya aayega?'



• It's a bull market if the wife starts getting suspicious about an sms every two minutes on your cell phone, sneaks a look when you go to the loo, only to find 'Buy Nifty futures'.



• It's a bull market when you get a call from someone who you thought was a proud father of an MBA graduate but insists, "Aap mere bete ko aap ke under mein le leejiye, aadmi ban jaayega!"



• It's a bull market when people don't have more than Rs 223 in their pocket but discuss stake sales and numbers ending six zeroes.



• It's a bull market when you find it difficult to go on a vacation because somewhere deep inside you nurse the feeling that an unattended market might do something stupid behind your back.



• It's a bull market when Nandigram seems a 'jhanjhat' and Myanmar monks irrelevant.



• It's a bull market when a company with a turnover of Rs 1300 crore announces an expansion of Rs 16,000 crore, issues a statement, cuts ribbons and is photographed alongside the CM and all the hard work being put in by some outstanding business leaders suddenly looks like poultry raw material.



• It's a bull market when you read the front page of the pink papers and realise how small you are.



• It's a bull market if your daughter mentions 'Let us take a break' and your first recall is interrupted hours of trading due to the sun outage.



• It's a bull market when you get irritable on Saturday and Sunday.



• It's a bull market when you read a column like this and say, "What? No tip?" and hiss that your time was bloody wasted.
