World-class Skill Development Programme is a Positive Initiative
Mumbai: February 29, 2008 - Aranca, a global provider of end-to-end financial and business research services, believes that the Union Budget of India 2008-09 presented today is populist but inclusive budget, given the prospect of general elections in mid 2009. The increase in the income tax exemption limits, loan waivers for farmers and higher provisions for social expenditure all point out to a feel-good budget. Buoyant tax receipts gave the freedom to the Finance Minister to increase social spending while reducing the budgeted fiscal deficit targets.
In an interesting initiative, the Finance Minister has allocated a budget of Rs. 15,000 crore for creating a non-profit corporation aimed at creating world-class skill development programme in India. When compared with a total outlay for the education sector (including NER) of Rs.34,400 crore for 2008-09, this is significant. While the details on the actual contours of this initiative and the charter for the corporation are still unknown, this programme seems promising especially for talent-starved knowledge-driven companies and research companies.
"With nearly 225 million people in the age group of 10 -19 years, most of whom are likely to join the active work force in next 3-5 years, the need for providing skills other than pedagogical cannot be emphasized more," said Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Director, Aranca India Operations. "If we want to benefit from the $12 billion knowledge process outsourcing opportunity, then we need to have a nation-wide programme focusing on skill development that turns graduates and post-graduates into employable resources for world-class research work," he said.

ARANCA featured in KPMG's Knowledge Process Outsourcing: Unlocking top-line growth by outsourcing "the core" 2008 study
Mumbai: February 18, 2008 - Aranca, a global provider of end-to-end financial and business research services, was featured in 'KPMG's Knowledge Process Outsourcing: Unlocking top-line growth by outsourcing "the core" 2008 study. The KMPG report studies the KPO phenomenon to understand and predict financial research outsourcing trends. It estimates that the financial services knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) industry will be worth US$5 billion by 2010. One of the few comprehensive reports on the KPO sector, the study conclusively states that KPOs enable client-organizations increase their revenues. Cost savings and access to talented workforce are the key factors driving offshoring of high-end knowledge-based processes. In the financial research industry, KPO providers are already supplementing and supporting "core" organizational functions. While India remains the dominant outsourcing destination, countries like Australia, Canada and Singapore have the potential to capture some of these KPO opportunities. The need to preserve and increase competitive edge will accelerate outsourcing decision-making, the report states.
"Being profiled as one of the leading KPO providers in the study is a recognition of Aranca's growing market presence in key markets and sectors," said Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Director, Aranca India Operations. Established in 2003, Aranca has a strong client base in UK, Europe and USA. Commenting on the KPMG report, Mr. Rajagopalan said, "As one of the leading providers of high-end, outsourced financial research, we at Aranca feel that there is insufficient literature on the KPO phenomenon. A global study of this magnitude and depth will help decision-makers understand, evaluate and plan their outsourcing strategy." He added that "There is a need for more such concentrated effort to document findings of the KPO industry, as it informs and empowers both parties concerned - organizations looking to outsource and KPO providers".

ARANCA among top 6 offshore financial research service providers: Invest Australia Report
Mumbai, January 13, 2006 - Aranca, the Mumbai-based, end-to-end business research provider has been named as one of the top 6 Third-Party Analytics service providers in the "Financial Services KPO industry report" commissioned by Invest Australia, the Australian Government's inward investment agency.
Announcing this development to the media, Mr. Hemendra Aran, CEO-Aranca, said "Of the 19 players that Invest Australia has started off at the beginning of the study, Aranca made to the final list of six providers. It is indeed a major achievement considering Aranca is one of the youngest as well as smallest (in terms of employees) companies in the list."
It may be worth mentioning that this is the first time anywhere in the world that a consulting firm globally has carried out a substantive analysis of the analytics-driven Financial Services KPO sector and sub-sectors. The offshoring or outsourcing (or both) of equity research and some corporate finance functions by investment banks and securities firms is the most established area of the global analytics offshoring industry.
The Invest Australia Report findings will further enhance India's fast gaining reputation as the KPO hub. This is especially good for a young company like Aranca to be featured in the high profile report as it was pitted against some of the big names in the financial research services. Established in 2003, Aranca is in the business of providing end-to-end equity and investment research analytics with Mumbai as its delivery centre. It has offices in New York and London.
"Our unique blend of market knowledge, high quality resources, flexible deployment models, quality assurance standards and cost-efficient offshore have earned us this distinction", opined Mr. Madhusudan Rajagopalan, Head, Aranca India Operations.
Some of the areas that were minutely studied by Invest Australian include:
- Product updates and maintenance: updating of company models for company and sector update reports and updating of valuation models on an on-going basis.
- Support for 'stand alone' thematic reports: preparation of industry studies or cross-industry studies covering topical issues.
- M&A stand alone valuation models: creation and support involved in stand alone valuation models for M&A deals.
- Report and presentation support: preparation of reports, presentation graphics, chart preparation for use in presentations to institutional investors and pitch book type material to corporate clients.

PIRP Market to Reach USD 26.9 Mn by 09 - Aranca
New York, September 1, 2005 (Aranca) - The Paid-For Research market in the US is expected to grow to USD 26.9 million by 2009, according to a new Aranca study. Paid-For Research Providers or PIRPs are research providers who produce and publish equity research at the behest of a company, with the intention of attracting potential investors.
Companies that are under-covered or do not enjoy any coverage opt for such research services. These small and micro cap companies - typically listed on Nasdaq, OTC and other exchanges. Aranca found a positive correlation between improved coverage of a company and its stock price. "One of the key negative fallouts of the Global Settlement has been the loss of coverage for a host of small cap companies, thus depriving the investors genuine growth opportunities. PIRPs are an interesting way out for companies that seek more action on their counters," said Hemendra Aran, CEO, Aranca.
The report provides estimates of the current market size besides profiling the leading players. It also analyzes market drivers, key trends, and provides market forecast up to 2009. In addition, the report highlights key regulatory and other compliance related matters.
The report is useful for both PIRPs as well as the companies.
