US business seeks free high-tech trade with India
Ahead of US President Barack Obama's trip, a major US trade association representing 300 top US companies doing business with India has proposed a five-point agenda for advancing India-US economic partnership, including educational collaboration and a free trade agreement.
Entitled "Partners in Prosperity - Business Leading the Way", the US-India Business Council (USIBC) agenda seeks removal of barriers to high technology trade; recommends interventions to 'grow' agriculture; and seeks infrastructure collaborations, including the mobilisation of new capital markets to fund India's enormous urbanisation requirements.It also calls for educational collaboration, including vocational training, research, and K-12 (Kindergarten to Class 12) schooling; and, proposes a first-of-its kind Free Trade Agreement to unleash the synergies that American and Indian industry so uniquely share - innovation and knowledge.USIBC prefaces this bold agenda by making the case that it is the commercial relationship between the US and India that has laid the foundation and made the environment ripe for what must ultimately become strategic partnership between the two countries, the trade advocacy group said."It is high time we begin treating one another as genuine partners - both in terms of our strategic relationship - in defence, security, and in space, as well as in our very special knowledge partnership," said USIBC president Ron Somers."Business is leading the way as it should, as it always has done in pioneering the contours and pushing the envelope of this unique partnership," he said."Our aim here is to set an agenda that is forward thinking, that looks well into the coming decade. If we set our sights high, there is no doubt that, as partners, the United States and India can shape the economic destiny of the 21st Century."USIBC is mounting the largest ever executive mission of US business leaders to attend a Nov 6 business summit in Mumbai, organised with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), featuring a keynote address by Obama.More than 200 business leaders, including those from the Fortune 200 to small and medium enterprises, are making the trip to India for the Obama visit. During his India visit, Obama will meet top US business leaders, including India-born Pepsico chairperson Indra Nooyi, to "discuss the opportunities and challenges of doing business in India," according to the White House.The business delegation meeting Obama will include Honeywell International Inc's David Cote, who co-chairs the India-US CEO Forum with Tata Sons chairman Ratan Tata, Boeing Co's Jim McNerney, General Electric Co's Jeffrey Immelt and Mcgraw Hill Companies' Terry McGraw, who is also USIBC chairman.Louis Chenevert, CEO of aerospace major United Technologies Corporation and Ellen Kullman, chief executive of chemicals giant DuPont may also be joining.Obama has vowed to double US exports in five years. India, Asia's third-biggest economy, offers a rapidly growing market for US companies.Trade between the US and India more than doubled to $37 billion in 2009 compared with 2003, according to US Commerce Department data. In the first eight months of 2010, total trade topped $32 billion, Commerce figures show. (IANS)

Cognizant a local American company (CTS)-profit rose 49.1% to $203.7 million in India
CHENNAI | BANGALORE: Cognizant Technology Solutions (CTS) reported a double-digit growth in its net profit for the second straight quarter, signalling a rebound in spending by top US banks — the biggest market for India’s $50-billion outsourcing industry.
Cognizant’s third quarter profit rose 49.1% to $203.7 million and revenues grew to $1.22 billion, up 43% from a year ago.
“This is yet another evidence that clients are not just seeking cost efficiencies, but are also stepping up investments in their business platforms and new capabilities to drive growth and innovation,” said Francisco D’Souza, president and chief executive officer.
The company, which competes with Indian rivals Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Infosys Technologies , also raised its forecast for the year ending December 2010 on higher demand from top customers such as JP Morgan, 3M and AstraZeneca. The company said its revenues will grow by at least 38.8% to $4.55 billion this year, higher than the nearly 36% growth it had projected earlier.
For top outsourcing vendors based in India, double-digit growth rates seem to be back, if the Cognizant, TCS and Infosys results are any indication, as customers in the US plan to save nearly $18 billion in costs by offshoring to India during the financial year which ends in March 2011.
Technology research firm, Forrester, has predicted a robust 8.1% growth in 2010 and a 7.4% growth in 2011 for the US tech market. “Globally, the tech market measured in US dollars will grow by 7%, compared with our July forecast of 7.8%, with the somewhat weaker outlook for the US tech market offsetting slightly better performance in Europe and strong growth in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia/Pacific,” said Andrew Bartels, vice-president and principal analyst, Forrester Research , in a September report.
Unlike its Indian peers, Cognizant presents itself as an American company whose key management and workforce is based in the US. This makes a big difference when trying to capture clients, many of whom consider Cognizant as a local American company.

Rajinikanth is basically a media-shy person, as we don’t get to see this star giving interviews on a regular basis. Though aware of this fully well, director Karan Johar is trying to get the Superstar on his show Koffee with Karan. The season 3 of this popular celebrity talk show is to go on air from November 7th, 2010 and Karan is keen on having Rajini answering some of his questions.
Karan, sources say, has vowed to try and get the star on his show. Will the Superstar agree? Will Karan turn out to be the lucky one to interview Rajini?
Let us wait and watch!
