deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates
or prices, the performance of the financial markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws,
regulations and taxes and changes in competition in our industry. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The loss of any one of our major customers, a decrease in the volume of business derived
from these customers or a decrease in the prices at which we offer our services to them may
adversely affect our operating income and profitability.
• Our contracts with carrier customers do not obligate the customers to market or promote our
services to their end-user subscribers.
• We cannot provide any assurances that our relationship with Spice Communications will
continue on the same terms.
• Our roaming network solutions and enterprise services products are presently provided only
through Spice Communications.
• A substantial portion of our income is subject to the end-user pricing decisions of our carrier

SECTION II: RISK FACTORS

An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the
information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described
below, before making an investment in our Equity Shares. To obtain a complete understanding you
should read this section in conjunction with the sections “Business” beginning on page 54 and
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis on Results of Operations and Financial Conditions”
beginning on page 278. Any of the following risks as well as other risks and uncertainties discussed in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations and could cause the trading price of our Equity Shares to decline
which could result in the loss of all or part of your investment. Unless otherwise stated in the relevant
risk factors set below, we are not in a position to specify or quantify the financial or other implications
of any risk mentioned herein.

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Our Business

1. Mr. Dilip Modi, one of our Promoters and Dr. Bhupendra Kumar Modi, a person forming
part of our Promoter Group, are directors in other group companies which are either
appearing on the RBI’s list of defaulters or are under winding up.

All banks and financial institutions are required to submit to the RBI details of debt defaulters where
the amount of default exceeds Rs.10 million or where the account holders have been classified as
willful defaulters. This data on defaulters is circulated in a consolidated form by RBI to the banks and
financial institutions.

Mr. Dilip Modi, one of our Promoters, was a director on the board of Modi Stones Limited during the
period August 20, 1992 until November 7, 1998 and Dr. Bhupendra Kumar Modi, another individual
member of our Promoter Group, is a member of the board of directors in Modi Rubber Limited and
was also a director on the board of Modi Stones Limited until December 7, 1998. Both Modi Stones
Limited and Modi Rubber Limited appear on the list of defaulting companies as per the RBI database.
For more details, please see the section “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments-
Companies under RBI Defaulter’s list” beginning on page 345. We cannot assure you that Modi Stone
Limited and Modi Rubber Limited will not continue to remain on the RBI’s list of defaulters, or that
such companies’ status as defaulters will not have any adverse effect on our business.

MBM Limited (“MBM”) is neither a Promoter nor a Promoter Group Company of our Company and
Dr. Bhupendra Kumar Modi was a director on the board of MBM only uptil October 30, 1993. The
Hon’ble Punjab and Haryana High Court vide its order dated February 20, 1997, passed winding up
orders against MBM and appointed an official liquidator and MBM is under winding up proceedings
and all the documents were handed over to the official liquidator of the company.

2. There are certain criminal proceedings pending against some of our Promoter Group
companies.

Certain of our Promoter Group companies have certain criminal proceedings pending against them,
details of which are provided below:

Omnia BPO Services Limited

A criminal case has filed by the labour department against the Omnia BPO Services Limited under
sections 23 and 24 of the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 read with the Central
Rules, 1971.

Spice Communications Limited

A criminal complaint under section 420 of the IPC has been filed against Spice Communications
Limited by Sukhjit Singh Chandi in the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Chandigarh.

x
A criminal complaint has been filed by the Assistant Controller of Legal Metrology, Tumkur against
Spice Communications Limited in the Court of Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Tumkur under the
Standard Weights and Measures Act, 1976.

Further, three complaints have been filed against Spice Communications Limited under section 133 of
the CRPC for restraining it from installing a cell phone tower.

A complaint has been filed against the company for violation of the provisions of Equal Remuneration
Act, 1976 in the Labour Court, Mysore under the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 and the Contract
Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970.

For more details, please see the section “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” beginning
on page 300.

3. A few major carrier customers account for a significant portion of our income. The loss of
any one of our major customers, a decrease in the volume of business derived from these
customers or a decrease in the prices at which we offer our services to them may adversely
affect our operating income and profitability.

We have derived and believe that we will continue to derive a significant portion of our income from a
few major carrier customers. For our nine months ended December 31, 2007, and our Fiscals 2007 and
2006, respectively, our five largest customers accounted for approximately 82%, 78% and 78% of our
operating income, respectively. As a result of significant our reliance on a small number of carrier
customers, we may face certain issues including pricing pressures. Our contracts with these carrier
customers are typically for a limited period, ranging between one and three years, and the terms of such
contracts allow the carrier customers to terminate the contracts without cause by giving notice as per
the terms of the agreement. In addition, we have no guarantee of income under these agreements or
minimum requirements for the use of our services. The loss or significant decrease in the volume of
business from one or more of our large carrier customers would have an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and cash flows. Further, the income from these customers may vary from year to
year, making it hard to forecast future business needs, particularly since we are not the exclusive
service provider for any of our customers. Any significant decreases in spending on MVAS by the end-
user subscribers of our major customers may accordingly reduce the demand for our services and
adversely affect our income, profitability and results of operations. In addition, our income may be
affected by competition and decreasing rates in the telecommunications industry and a number of
factors, other than our performance, that could cause the loss of a customer and that may not be
predictable such as financial difficulties, bankruptcy or insolvency affecting our customers. These
carrier customers may in the future demand price reductions, develop and implement newer
technologies, automate some or all of their processes or change their strategy by moving more work in-
house or to other providers, any of which could reduce our profitability. Any of the foregoing events or
any delay or default in payment by our customers for services rendered may adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

4. Our contracts with carrier customers do not obligate the customers to market or promote
our services to their end-user subscribers.

Most of our contracts with carrier customers are on a revenue sharing basis and provide that we earn
income only if our customers’ end-user subscribers use or subscribe to the value added services offered
by our customers. As a result, our income is subject to uncertainties that are beyond our control, such
as market acceptance of our products and services by our customers’ end-user subscribers and the
subscriber churn rate and are dependent upon the pricing of the services, product placement and
marketing and promotion activities conducted by our customers either jointly with us or solely. None
of our contracts obligate our customers to market or distribute any of our products or services to their
end-user subscribers. Without the appropriate marketing, promotion and pricing of the services we
provide to our customers, the subscribers may not be aware of, or may cease to use, or decrease usage
of, our products and services. For example, the current practice among our customers generally is to
place the most popular wireless applications at the top of the menu on the first page available on their
mobile phone portals or in the most prominent positions on their websites. Services at the top of the
menu and in more prominent positions are more accessible to subscribers and, in our experience, are

xi
more frequently accessed than those services in less prominent positions. If our customers change their
current practices so that our products are displayed less prominently or are less accessible to the end-
user subscribers, our services could become more difficult for users to access and could, therefore,
become less popular. This could adversely affect the income from our products and services, and thus
our overall results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, as most of our customer contracts are non-exclusive, our customers may purchase similar
products and services from third parties and cease to offer our products and services in the future. Even
if our customers retained our services, our customer contracts do not prevent our customers from
significantly reducing the level of marketing or promotion of our products or from electing to market or
promote similar products purchased from and provided by our competitors. Any of the foregoing may
result in the loss of future income from our carrier customers.

5. We cannot provide any assurances that our relationship with Spice Communications will
continue on the same terms.

Historically, we have entered into agreements with Spice Communications wherein we have agreed to
provide roaming services and value added services at an agreed revenue sharing arrangement. As per
the provisions of our agreement with Spice Communications dated June 25, 2008, Spice
Communications would continue to avail general VAS services such as mobile radio, BGM, CRBT
from our Company for a period of three years, while with respect to SMS, GPRS, roaming and
outbound dialer services, Spice Communications, would avail such services from our Company for a
period of nine months starting from the date of the agreement.. Historically we have derived significant
revenues from Spice Communication and they contributed approximately 50.44 % to our total income
during the nine months period ended December 31, 2007 and 38.36% in Fiscal ended March 2007. On
June 25, 2008 Spice Communications has communicated to us that one of its promoter shareholder i.e.
MCorpGlobal Communication Private Limited has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Idea
Cellular Limited to divest its entire shareholding comprising 40.8% in Spice Communications to Idea
Cellular Limited. The board of directors of Spice Communications has also approved its merger with
Idea Cellular Limited. Pursuant to the aforesaid proposed change in shareholding and ownership of
Spice Communications, we cannot assure you that we will continue to do business with Spice
Communications and through Spice Communications with its customers on the same terms or at all.
Any continued business relationship may not be on terms commercially favourable to us. In the event
we were to lose our relationship with Spice Communications, our failure to make alternative
arrangements in a timely manner and on terms commercially acceptable to us could have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

6. Our roaming network solutions and enterprise services products are presently provided only
through Spice Communications.

We provide roaming products and solutions and enterprise products to corporate clients through
agreements entered into with Spice Communications, which has developed a roaming network through
alliances with these operators. On June 25, 2008 Spice Communications has communicated to us that
one of its promoter shareholder, MCorpGlobal Communication Private Limited has entered into a
Share Purchase Agreement with Idea Cellular Limited to divest its entire shareholding comprising
40.8% of the paid-up share capital in Spice Communications to Idea Cellular Limited. The board of
directors of Spice Communications has also approved its merger with Idea Cellular Limited.
Subsequent to such ownership change, roaming network of Spice Communication may not be available
to us. In such scenario, we will need to establish direct relationships with carriers other than Spice
Communications for provision of our roaming solutions and enterprise products for the maintaining
growth and expansion of our business. Currently, we are dependent on Spice Communications’
continued relationship with these operators as well as our continued relationship with Spice
Communications. In the event of an arrangement being terminated between Spice Communications and
the operator, we may suffer a resulting negative effect on our ability to offer our roaming products and
services to these operators and enterprise products to corporate clients, which in turn could have an
adverse effect on our results of operations.

xii
7. A substantial portion of our income is subject to the end-user pricing decisions of our
carrier customers and reconciliation of billing information between our records and those
of our customers.

We earn a substantial portion of our income through revenue sharing agreements with our carrier
customers. Under such revenue sharing agreements, we earn as income a percentage of the retail price
that our customers charge to their end-user subscribers for the use of our products and applications. We
earned approximately 81% and 67% of our income from such revenue sharing agreements in our nine
months ended December 31, 2007 and in prior Fiscal 2007. We have no control over their pricing
decisions and most of our customer contracts do not provide for guaranteed minimum payments. As a
result, our income derived from such revenue sharing agreements may be substantially reduced
depending on the pricing decisions and pressures of our customers, which may adversely affect our
results of operations and financial condition.

Further, according to revenue sharing agreements with our customers, the calculation of net revenue
from the usage of our services by their respective subscribers is based on records maintained by our
customers or on records maintained by us that are reconciled with those prepared by our customers in
the event of a discrepancy. The billing methodologies and management information systems of our
customers are critical in preparation of accurate and timely usage reports. Our income realization with
respect to such records may become subject to dispute and may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

8. Failure to develop and introduce new products and solutions that achieve market
acceptance could result in a loss of market opportunities.

Our business depends on developing and providing innovative products and solutions to our customers
that will create and fulfill demand by end users. Development of new products and solutions is subject
to unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, including end user preferences and competing
products and solutions. In addition, due to the competitive nature of the telecommunications market in
which we operate, and given the fact that time-to-market and service features are key differentiators of
MVAS offerings between carriers, products, solutions and applications in our industry have short
lifespans. We need to continuously invest in research and development to develop new and
differentiated products and solutions for our customers. Further, some or all of such products and
solutionsmay not provide adequate returns commensurate with our investments. Our products and
solutions could also be rapidly rendered obsolete by the introduction of newer technologies based on
more advanced mobile networks using broader bandwidths. Unexpected technical, operational,
deployment, distribution or other problems could delay or prevent the timely introduction of new
products and solutions, which could result in a loss of market opportunities. Our growth could also
suffer if our products and solutions are not responsive to the needs of wireless carriers, the
technological advancements of mobile networks or the preferences of the subscribers.

9. Increasingly, a majority of the new subscribers of our carrier customers are from non-
metro areas and they tend to have lower levels of the purchase of value added services per
user.

With the expanding penetration of wireless telecommunications in India, a majority of the new
subscribers of our carrier customers are increasingly from non-metro areas. These subscribers generally
spend less on telecommunications solutions and value added products and services than subscribers
from metro areas and may not purchase mobile phones capable of receiving many of our products and
services. These end-users tend to purchase fewer and less expensive mobile telecommunication
applications and products and hence represent lower revenue potential for the carriers and also for us,
since most of our contracts with our carrier customers are on a revenue sharing basis. If this trend
continues, it may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

10. We currently depend on entertainment and music related products/services and solutions,
including mobile radio, caller ringback tones, ringtone downloads and Jukebox, for a
significant portion of our operating income.

We earned approximately 61% and 63% of our operating income from our music related services,
including mobile radio, caller ringback tones, BGM and Jukebox, in nine months ended December 31,

xiii
2007 and in prior Fiscal 2007, respectively. We expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our
operating income from these services over the next few years. There could be a decline in the demand
for our products/services and solutions due to various factors, including increases in the cost of our
products/services and solutions due to an increase in the cost of the content we source, competition or
technological advancements rendering our technology obsolete. A decrease in the popularity of our
music related services and solutions among mobile phone users, or a failure by us to maintain, improve,
update or enhance such services and solutions in a timely manner, enter into new markets, or
successfully diversify our products/services and solutions could adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

11. An affiliate of Lehman Brothers Securities Private Limited, one of the BRLMs, currently
has and upon completion of the Issue will continue to have, a significant shareholding in
the Company.

Lehman Brothers Opportunity Limited (“LBOL”), an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Securities Private
Limited, one of the BRLMs in the Issue, holds 17.27% of the Equity Shares prior to the Issue and will
hold 9.69% of the Equity Shares immediately upon the completion of the Issue. For details of the
shareholding of LBOL, see the section “Capital Structure” beginning on page 21 and “History and
Certain Corporate Matters” beginning on page 74.

In addition, LBOL has certain rights under the Investor Rights’ Deed dated November 22, 2006, which
inter alia, grants LBOL with (a) a right of first refusal for issuances of securities by our Company and
(b) rights in relation to certain corporate actions to be taken by our Company. Also, LBOL is entitled to
appoint one director as long as it holds more than 7.5% of the equity share capital of our Company and
quorum and affirmative voting rights at board and shareholder meetings. Further, any change in the
present business of our Company would require the prior consent of LBOL. The Investor Rights’ Deed
would be terminated at the date of completion of initial public offering or when LBOL or any of the
associated companies ceasing to hold 7.5% of the total issued Equity Shares, whichever is earlier. For
details of the Investors’ Rights’ Deed, see the sections “Capital Structure” beginning on page 21 and
“History and Certain Corporate Matters” beginning on page 74.

The interests of LBOL may be different from our interests or the interests of our other shareholders. By
exercising its rights under the Investor Rights’ Deed, LBOL may take actions with respect to our
business that may not be in our or our other shareholders’ best interests. LBOL could delay or defer a
change in our capital structure, a merger, consolidation, or other business combination involving us,
which may not be in our best interest, or in the best interest of our other shareholders.

In accordance with the SEBI Guidelines, the Equity Shares held by LBOL will be subject to a one-year
lock-in period commencing from the date of Allotment. However, LBOL is offering part of its
shareholding in the Company in the Pre-IPO Placement and the Offer for Sale and there can be no
assurance that LBOL will not sell some or all of its Equity Shares either prior to Allotment or
immediately upon the expiry of lock-in, one year after the date of Allotment. The sale of such Equity
Shares, or the perception that such sales will occur, may adversely impact the Issue Price or the price of
the Equity Shares trading in the market.

12. Lehman Brothers Opportunity Limited, is an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Securities


Private Limited, one of the BRLMs, and one of the Selling Shareholders in the Issue, which
may result in a conflict of interest with investors in the Issue.

LBOL is an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Securities Private Limited, one of the BRLMs in the Issue,
and is a Selling Shareholder. LBOL might have interests in the Issue that may conflict with that of an
investor in the Issue, including commercial interests such as a high return on its equity investment in
the Company, which may in turn influence the decision relating to the Issue Price.

13. Our limited operating history may make it difficult for prospective investors to evaluate our
business.

We launched our first product/service in 2001. There is limited historical financial and operating
information available to help prospective investors evaluate our past performance and future prospects
or to make a decision about an investment in our Equity Shares. In addition, because of our limited

xiv
operating history, and changes in our fiscal year ends since 2003, our historical financial results are not
directly comparable and may not accurately predict our future performance. Our financial results in
recent years have reflected growth in income as our business was launched, however given our short
operating history, we cannot offer any assurances that this positive trend will continue as our business
matures and moves through various economic cycles. For example, as a result of industry factors,
economic circumstances or factors specific to us, we may have to alter our anticipated methods of
conducting our business, such as the nature, amount and types of risks we assume. The
telecommunications value added services market is nascent, highly competitive and is rapidly evolving.
As a result, any evaluation of our business and our prospects must be considered in light of our
industry, our limited operating history and the risks and uncertainties often encountered by companies
at our stage of development.

14. Any inability to manage our growth could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.

We have experienced significant growth in income in recent years. Our operating income has increased
from Rs. 324.95 million in our Fiscal 2006 to Rs. 661.78 million in our Fiscal 2007 to Rs. 734.56
million in our nine months ended December 31, 2007. The total number of employees has grown from
265 as of March 31, 2007 to 372 as of May 31, 2008. While these growth rates are not indicative of our
future growth, we expect this growth to place significant demands on both our management and our
resources. This will require us to continuously evolve and improve our operational, financial and
internal controls across the organization.

In particular, continued expansion increases the challenges involved in:

• maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction and loyalty;

• adhering to our high quality and process execution standards;

• recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled technical, sales and management personnel;

• preserving our culture, values and entrepreneurial environment; and

• developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our


financial, operational, communications and other internal systems.

Any inability to manage growth may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations and could result in decline of the price of our Equity Shares.

15. Failure to meet the expected level of performance in accordance with our contracts with
customers could result in a loss of our income or adversely affect the customer relationships
or the business of our customers, all of which could be detrimental to our business and
reputation.

Mobile telecommunication applications and products such as those we offer are complex and utilize
sophisticated software systems which may result in operational errors or performance problems. In
connection with the provision of our mobile telecommunication products and applications, we enter
into contracts with some of our customers which contain provisions requiring us to maintain the
services at or above certain minimum performance standards. In certain cases, we are required to post a
bank guarantee against performance. Under these contracts, if we fail to meet the specified standards,
we may be subject to liquidated damages or penalties or, if applicable, the customer could require
payment under a bank guarantee, and in certain cases, termination of contracts by our carrier
customers. In addition, any defects in our intellectual property which we license to our customers could
result in a claim against us for substantial damages, regardless of our responsibility for such a failure or
defect. We cannot assure prospective investors that in case any claims for damages are made by our
customers, the limitations on liability we provide for in our service contracts will be enforceable, or
that they will otherwise be sufficient to protect us from liability for damages.

Further, any failure of, or technical problems with, our servers, systems or platforms could disrupt the
ability of the subscribers of our carrier customers to use our telecom applications and platforms. In the
past, we have experienced failures with our servers, systems and/or platforms, which were generally

xv
related to heavy surges in volume associated with holiday entertainment purchase activities or activities
relating to promotions being made by our customers. If failures occur on our customers’ multiple
networks or software systems, it may be difficult for us to identify the source of the problem and to
correct it on a timely basis, in particular as our customers generally use our services together with their
own services and services from other vendors. In addition, our systems or platforms are, in most cases,
integrated into the voice and data networks of our customers for which we operate and manage
applications. Failure of our systems or platforms could disrupt the delivery of voice and data service by
our customers. Any of the foregoing problems could result in a loss of income or adversely affect the
customer relationships and business of our customers, all of which could be detrimental to our business
and reputation generally.

16. Many of our contracts do not have a fixed term or are of short duration and are subject to
renewal. If we are unable to renew or extend our contracts with our existing customers on
terms acceptable to us or at all, our future financial condition and results of operations may
be adversely affected.

Our contracts with our carrier customers are generally term contracts of one year or three years in
duration or open ended and in effect until termination by either party after a requisite notice period.

All customer contracts are on a non-exclusive basis and we cannot guarantee that they will continue to
be our customers. As these contracts reach the end of their stated terms, our customers can seek to
renegotiate pricing or other terms with us or not renew the contracts. In addition, all of our contracts
allow our customers to terminate a contract without cause after a requisite notice period, typically
ranging from 30 to 90 days. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain our existing business
relationships with our customers. If we are unable to renew or extend our contracts with existing
customers or if our customers seek to renegotiate the contracts on terms unfavorable to us as they
expire, it may be difficult to find a suitable replacement carrier customer with the requisite licenses and
permits, infrastructure and customer base. This may have an adverse effect on our growth, financial
condition and results of operations.

17. We will be controlled by our Promoters so long as they control a majority of our Equity
Shares.

After the completion of the Issue, our Promoters will hold approximately 65.85% of our outstanding
Equity Shares. As a result, one of our Promoters, Omnia Investments Private Limited which, will have
the ability to exercise significant control over us and all matters requiring shareholder approval,
including election of directors, our business strategy and policies and approval of significant corporate
transactions such as mergers and business combinations. The extent of their shareholding in us may
also delay, prevent or deter a change in control, even if such a transaction is beneficial to our other
shareholders. The interests of our Promoters and Promoter Group as our controlling shareholders could
also conflict with our interest or the interests of our other shareholders. We cannot assure prospective
investors that our Promoters and Promoter Group will act to resolve any conflicts of interest in our
favour.

18. Our carrier customers could develop some or all of our mobile telecommunication
applications and products on their own or otherwise bring them in-house, which could
result in the loss of future income.

We derived over 94.52% and 96.36% of our income from providing mobile telecommunication
applications and products in our nine months ended December 31, 2007 and our Fiscal 2007,
respectively. Currently most of our carrier customers do not themselves offer such services and
products independently; however, if our carrier customers begin developing these services and products
or otherwise were to bring development and provisions in-house, we could be under price pressure in
order to maintain our business with existing carrier customers, if at all. Our inability to remain a
provider of mobile telecommunication applications and products of choice could result in the loss of
future income and may have an adverse effect on our future business, financial condition and results of
operations.

xvi
19. Usage of our applications and services may be difficult to predict and we may not be able to
adequately and quickly expand capacity and upgrade our systems to meet increased
demand.

It is difficult to predict end-user subscriber adoption of new mobile telecommunication applications


and products, particularly in new markets. As a result, while we may launch a new product with a
planned or expected capacity, such capacity may not be sufficient to meet demand if it exceeds our
expectations. In such situations, we may not be able to expand and upgrade our systems and application
platforms quickly enough to accommodate increased usage of our services. If we do not appropriately
expand and upgrade our systems and application platforms, we may lose market opportunities or
damage our reputation with our carrier customers, which may adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

20. Our management information systems are critical to our ability to realize income from our
operations.

Sophisticated customer management information systems are critical for increasing our income
streams, avoid income loss and charge our customers accurately and in a timely manner. We expect
new technologies and applications to create increasing demands on our customer management systems.
Problems such as reconciliation of payments, revenue recognition and delayed payments will occur in
the complexities involved in the process of billing by our customers to their end-user subscribers. We
need to expand and adapt our payment and credit control systems as we introduce new services and as
our business expands. The development of new businesses may impose a greater burden on our
systems and may strain our administrative, operational and financial resources. If adequate payment
information, credit control and customer relations systems are unavailable or if upgrades or new
systems are delayed or not introduced or integrated in a timely manner, this could adversely affect our
business and results of operations.

21. Our agreement with Virtual Marketing Private Limited has expired.

Virtual Marketing Private Limited (“VMIL” or “Hungama”) is one of our largest content providers for
us. Our agreement to provide content with Hungama expired on March 31, 2008 and we are currently
negotiating terms for renewal of this agreement. We cannot assure you that our agreement with
Hungama will get renewed on terms favourable to us, or renewed at all. If we are unable to renew this
agreement, we may be prevented from providing content sourced from Hungama and will have to
source alternative content which may not be at terms favorable to us, which may result in loss of
income or business opportunities or reduced margins that would harm our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

22. Consolidation among, or change of ownership of, our carrier customers may result in the
loss of carrier customers or reduce our potential customer base, which would negatively
affect our financial performance.

Consolidation among carriers may reduce our potential customer base or may negatively affect our
ability to expand our customer base or may result in the loss of our current carrier customers. In
addition, as fewer carrier customers gain control of the telecom mobile subscriber market, pricing
pressure is likely to increase and consequently, a change of ownership of our carrier customers could
also result in the loss of our current customers if the new owners select another mobile
telecommunication applications and products service provider to provide MVAS and solutions. The
occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.

23. Delay or defaults in payments by our carrier customers or termination of the contract may
adversely affect our income realization.

Approximately 87% of our operating income is derived from our contracts with carrier customers,
which provide for payments for most of our services on a revenue sharing basis, for the nine months
ended December 31, 2007. Typically, delays in payment by our customers will arise primarily due to
delays in reconciling our billing and usage records with the records prepared by our customers. In the
event of delayed payments beyond a certain period, we are entitled to discontinue our provision of

xvii
services or terminate the contract without any liability of the customer, other than for payments owed.
Our income is concentrated in five customers and any delay or default in payment by them, or
termination of the contract, decrease in usage of the services provided to them by us or certain loss of
end-user subscribers may have an adverse effect on our income, business, financial condition and
results of operations.

24. We currently source and aggregate content from a variety of content providers. If we are
unable to secure a license designed to aggregate content on terms favorable to us, we may
be prevented from providing the customer services, or will need to incur significant costs to
seek alternative content, which could adversely affect our business. Further, breach of our
contracts with our vendors, third party suppliers or content providers may adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations

We have entered into licensing agreements with several content providers to use copyrighted content or
works as part of the services we provide to our carrier customers and their subscribers. Most of the
licensing agreements we have entered into with our content providers have confidentiality obligations.
Some of these agreements also restrict us from entering into similar agreements with other third parties
during the term of such agreements. We depend upon vendors and third party suppliers to provide us
with the hardware and software required for installation and use of our services by our customers. We
may be liable to our vendors, third party suppliers or content providers if we breach our contracts with
them. Any failure on our part to comply with such obligations could cause us to be in breach of our
contract and could result in a claim against us for substantial damages or even termination of the
contract by the content provider. The successful assertion of any claim by a third party would have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, these
agreements are mostly for a term of one year. If we are unable to renew these licenses on terms
favorable to us, or at all, upon their expiration we may be prevented from providing content sourced
from these content providers and will have to source alternative content may not be at terms favorable
to us, which may result in loss of income or business opportunities or reduced margins that would harm
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

25. Third parties may successfully sue us for intellectual property infringement which could
disrupt our business or require us to pay significant damage awards which we may not
succeed in recovering from our content providers.

Third parties may sue us for intellectual property infringement or initiate proceedings to invalidate our
intellectual property rights, either of which, if successful, could disrupt the conduct of our business or
require us to pay significant damage which we may not recover from our content providers. In addition,
in the event of a successful claim against us, we may be subject to injunctions preventing us from using
our intellectual property, incur significant licensing fees and/or be forced to develop alternative
technologies. Our failure or inability to develop non-infringing technology or applications or to license
the infringed or similar intellectual property rights, technology or applications on a timely basis could
force us to withdraw services from the market or prevent us from introducing new services on a timely
basis, or at all. In addition, even if we are able to license the infringed or similar intellectual property
rights, technology or applications, license fees could be substantial and the terms of such licenses could
be unfavorable. Any of the foregoing may result in increased costs and loss of income which may have
an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may also incur substantial expenses in defending against third-party infringement claims,
regardless of their merit. Such claims may arise frequently, especially with respect to our music-on-
demand and music service platform, given the evolving nature of and resulting uncertainty in laws and
regulations governing the use and distribution of music and other content in digital format. However,
we cannot assure prospective investors that the same would be adequate to cover one or more large
claims. For more information, see the section “Our Business — Insurance” beginning on page 68. In
the event that we are unsuccessful in defending against infringement claims, our business may be
disrupted and we may incur substantial legal costs and infringement liability damages, which in turn
could result in a loss of income and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations.

26. We have made applications for registration of our intellectual property rights, which are
currently pending. If we do not adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we may

xviii
have to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in
substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, patents and trade secret laws and restrictions on
disclosure, such as confidentiality provisions and non-disclosure agreements, to protect our intellectual
property rights. As of May 31, 2008, we have one registered trademark. Our trademark and logo
“Cellebrum” is registered with the Trademarks Registry in Delhi, India. We have recently filed an
application for alteration of our existing registered trademark “Cellebrum” with the Trademarks
Registry in Delhi, India. We have currently applied to register 15 other trademarks with the
Trademarks Registry in New Delhi, India. We have also filed 11 patent applications with the Controller
of Patents in the Patent Office, New Delhi, India. As of May 31, 2008, we also have 18 registered
copyrights with the Registrar of Copyrights and we have applied for two copyright registrations with
the Registrar of Copyrights. For more information, see the section “Our Business — Intellectual
Property” beginning on page 67. We cannot assure you that the application for registration of such
trademarks, copyrights or patents which are pending registration will be granted by the relevant
authorities. In the event we do not obtain patents, trademarks and copyrights for which we have applied
we may lose protection of the intellectual property associated with the product the subject of the patent,
trademark or copyright application, which may provide opportunities to competitors to compete with
our products and services, which could be detrimental to our existing and future business.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy
or otherwise obtain and use our technology and applications and the applicable laws may not
adequately protect our proprietary rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our applications is difficult
and costly, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent piracy and other
unauthorized distribution and use of our technology and applications. From time to time, we may have
to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, which could result in substantial costs
and diversion of management attention and resources. Any such litigation could be time consuming and
costly and the outcome cannot be guaranteed. We may not be able to detect any unauthorized use or
take appropriate and timely steps to enforce or protect our intellectual property. In addition, India is a
party to international agreements which may in the future require it to modify its existing intellectual
property protection regime, which may in turn impact our ability to secure appropriate levels of such
protection for our products.

Historically, we have relied on trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information as well as
requiring our principal employees to sign confidentiality agreements and deeds of relinquishment and
requiring our subcontractors, vendors and suppliers to sign agreements which impose a confidentiality
obligation on them. However, these confidentiality obligations may be breached, and we may not have
adequate remedies for any breach. Third parties may otherwise gain access to our proprietary
information or may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information.

27. Our statutory auditors have made certain qualifications in their audit report, which may
adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

Our statutory auditors in their report dated March 27, 2008 on the audited unconsolidated financial
statements of our Company as of and for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 included, as
an Annexure, a statement on certain matters specified in the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order,
2003, which was qualified to indicate that (i) fixed assets had not been physically verified by the
management during the period and discrepancies therein, if any, as compared to book records were not
ascertainable, and (ii) undisputed statutory dues have generally been regularly deposited with the
appropriate authorities though there have been delays in some cases. In addition, the Auditor’s report
dated September 28, 2007 on the audited unconsolidated financial statements of our Company as of and
for the year ended March 31, 2007 included, as an Annexure, a statement on certain matters specified
in the Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2003, which was qualified to indicate that undisputed
statutory dues have generally been regularly deposited with the appropriate authorities though there has
been a slight delay in a few cases. Our statutory auditors report dated June 26, 2008 on the audited
consolidated financial statements of our Company as of and for the Fiscal 2007 was qualified to
indicate that Mobisoc Technology Private Limited, our subsdiary had capitalized certain costs relating
to development of software during the year ended March 31, 2007 for which technical feasibility and
probable future economic benefits were yet to be established. As the auditors of the parent Company
believed that such costs did not qualify for capitalization as per the guidance given under Accounting

xix
Standard 26 ‘Intangible Assets’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2007 were qualified to that extent. For
more details, see the sections “Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” beginning on pages 166 and 280, respectively. We
cannot assure you that our Auditors will not qualify their opinion in their audit report on the audited
consolidated or unconsolidated financial statements in the future, which may adversely affect the
trading price of our Equity Shares.

28. Security vulnerabilities, illegal downloads, or transfers of audio and video files directly onto
handsets may harm our music-on-demand business and the income we earn from it.

Our music solutions business depends on the ability of our carrier customers to receive paid
subscription fees from downloads or streaming of music content, including full-track music titles.
However, computer and internet technologies that enable or facilitate illegal downloads or transfers of
music files, such as MP3 files, to personal computers and mobile handsets pose a significant threat to
wireless carriers, service providers and content providers alike. While industry efforts are being made
to restrict such functions through development of terminals, encoding technologies and sophisticated
customer interface, no assurance can be given that illegal downloads or transfers will be eliminated.
There are individuals and groups who develop and deploy software programmes that compromise
security and encoding technology. For example, hackers may find or develop and widely circulate
software that enables unauthorized decoding of digital rights management technology to download
music or other content directly onto mobile phones without using our music-on-demand or other
content delivery applications. Prevalence of security vulnerabilities, illegal downloads or transfers of
music files or lack of market acceptance of paid subscription for music content could adversely affect
our music solutions business and the income we earn from it.

29. If we are unable to successfully protect our information technology infrastructure from
security risk, our business may suffer.

Our servers, like those of all businesses, are vulnerable to computer viruses, break-ins, power losses,
Internet and telecommunications or data network failures, software theft or destruction and similar
disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. We maintain disaster recovery
capabilities and back-up systems for certain critical functions in our business, which are located at
Mohali and Parwanoo. We also maintain checks and systems for ensuring network security against
virus or other malignant attacks. However, we cannot assure you that these capabilities will
successfully prevent a disruption to or an adverse effect on our business or operations in the event of a
disaster or other business interruption. Any extended interruption in our technologies or systems could
significantly curtail our ability to conduct our business and generate income. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to continue to operate effectively and maintain such information technologies and
systems.

30. Our senior management team and other key team members are critical to our continued
success and the loss of such personnel or an inability to attract and retain talented
personnel could harm our business.

We are dependent on the continued service and performance of our senior management team and other
key team members to continue our growth. Our growth strategy will place significant demands on our
management and other resources because it requires us to continue to improve operational, financial
and other internal controls. These key personnel possess technical and business capabilities that are
difficult to replace. We do not maintain key man life insurance for any of our senior management or
other key team members. The loss in the services of the members of our senior management or other
key team members, particularly to competitors, or our failure to otherwise retain the necessary
management and other resources to maintain and grow our business, may have an adverse effect on our
results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our future success and our ability to maintain our competitive position and implement our business
strategy are dependent to a large degree on our ability to identify, attract, train and retain technical
service operation and application development engineers and personnel with skills that enable us to
keep pace with growing demands and evolving industry standards and on the continued service and
performance of our senior management team and other key team members in our business units.

xx
Qualified individuals are in high demand and competition for qualified engineers and personnel in our
industry is intense, and we may incur significant costs to retain or attract them. The average experience
of our senior management and other key team members as of May 31, 2008 is 14 years. We may not be
able to retain our existing engineers or personnel or attract and retain new engineers and personnel in
the future. Many well-qualified candidates may be subject to contractual non-compete clauses which
may restrict our ability to employ them.

31. The acquisition of other companies, businesses or technologies in the future could result in
operating difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences.

As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have experienced only organic growth.
However, as part of our growth strategy, we intend to pursue acquisitions to expand our business.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable acquisition, strategic investment or
joint venture opportunities at acceptable cost and on commercially reasonable terms, obtain the
financing necessary to complete and support such acquisitions or investments, integrate such
businesses or investments or that any business acquired or investment made will be profitable. Any
future acquisitions may result in integration issues and employee retention problems. We may not be
able to realize the benefits we might anticipate from any such acquisitions.

If we attempt to acquire non-Indian companies, we may not be able to satisfy certain Indian regulatory
requirements for such acquisitions and may need prior approval from the RBI which we may not
obtain. In addition, acquisitions and investments involve a number of risks, including possible adverse
effects on our operating results, diversion of management’s attention, failure to retain key personnel,
risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities and difficulties in the assimilation of the
operations, technologies, systems, services and products of the acquired businesses or investments.
Foreign acquisitions involve risks related to integration of operations across different cultures and
languages, currency risks and the particular economic, political and regulatory risks associated with
doing business in other countries. Any failure to achieve successful integration of such acquisitions or
investments could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
In addition, the anticipated benefits of our future acquisitions may not materialize. Future acquisitions
could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, the incurrence of debt, contingent
liabilities or other unforeseen complications or liabilities, any of which could harm our financial
condition and may have an adverse effect on the price of our Equity Shares.

32. The markets in which we operate are highly competitive and some of our competitors have
greater resources than we do.

Competition is expected to intensify in the telecommunications value added services industry in India,
and there may be increasing competition from global players. We expect competition to intensify
further as new entrants emerge in the industry due to the growth opportunities available and as existing
competitors seek to expand their services. Consolidation among our competitors may also leave us at a
competitive disadvantage. In addition, in the event we expand into international markets, we will
increasingly compete with both local and global providers of telecommunications value added services.
Competitors in the future may include other content aggregators and technology applications providers
from India and overseas. Some or all of our competitors may have advantages over us, which include
substantially greater financial resources, stronger brand recognition, the capacity to leverage their
marketing expenditures across a broader portfolio of products and services and more extensive
relationships with customers, content owners and broader geographic presence.

Increased competition may result in pricing pressure and force us to lower the selling price of our
services or cause a loss of business. In addition, our competitors may offer new or different services in
the future which are more popular than our current services. If we are not as successful as our
competitors in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could be negatively affected and
we could lose market share, any of which could harm our business and results of operations.

33. Carrier network congestion or failures could reduce our sales, increase costs or result in a
loss of income.

xxi
We rely on our carrier customers’ networks to deliver our products and services and telecom
applications to their end-user subscribers. Congestion on, failures of, or technical problems with, our
carrier customers’ delivery systems or communications networks could result in the inability of the
subscribers to use our applications. If any of these systems fail, including as a result of an interruption
in the supply of power, an earthquake, fire, flood or other natural disaster, or an act of war or terrorism,
our carrier customers’ subscribers may be unable to access our applications. Any failure of, or technical
problem with, our carrier customers’ networks could result in a loss of income and have an adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

34. As we propose to expand outside of our existing markets, we may face added business,
political, regulatory, operational, financial and economic risks, any of which could increase
our costs and hinder our growth.

An important element of our business strategy is the expansion of our sales globally by targeting
domestic and international markets in which we do not currently provide our services. However, we
have limited experience in global expansion, and thus we face considerable challenges in executing our
strategy. These risks include:

• development of appropriate products and services for non-Indian markets;

• difficulties in obtaining market acceptance of our services in other global markets;

• our lack of local presence and familiarity with business practices and conventions in certain
markets;

• difficulties and additional time and expenses in customizing and localizing our applications
and systems for new markets, including addressing language and cultural differences;

• shortages of personnel with both local language skill and experience with our services and
applications;

• legal uncertainties or unanticipated changes in regulatory requirements; and

• uncertainties of laws and enforcement relating to the protection of intellectual property.

In addition, we are subject to risks generally applicable to international operations such as:

• differences in network and system requirements that may require additional time and
resources to ensure compatibility between our applications and services and the carrier
networks;

• burdens or cost of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations, including
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

• foreign exchange controls that might prevent us from repatriating income earned in countries
outside India; and

• longer payment cycles and greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable in developing
countries.

Any of the foregoing risks could prevent us from introducing services globally on a timely basis or at
all and may harm our international expansion efforts and adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition. In addition, as we expand globally, this will increase our costs of
operations which may have an adverse effect on our operational margins.

35. We face risks associated with the challenges faced by the mobile communications value
added services industry in which we operate.

xxii
The telecom industry in India faces a number of challenges with respect to the growth of MVAS which
translates into a risk for our operations. These include:

• Slow penetration of MVAS. While mobile penetration rates in India may rise sharply over the
next few years, there is an uncertainty on how much of that penetration may translate into an
increase in the penetration of MVAS services, which tend to be comparatively expensive to
end-users and require more sophisticated hand-sets to access.

• Revenue sharing arrangements. Telecom operators keep a significant portion of the revenue
generated through MVAS services. In line with this and the constant pricing pressure on
telecom operators, MVAS providers will need to gain leverage in relationships with telecom
operators in order to obtain a higher percentage share of revenues.

• Lack of coordination between participants. There exists no common platform for handset
manufacturers and MVAS providers to ensure consistency of features and software across
various handset models, thus complicating the development of universally accessible value
added services and products.

• Spam. There are high volumes of spam in the mobile value added services market currently.
As an industry initiative there is a pressing need to address this as a source of end-user
dissatisfaction.

• Low GPRS connectivity. GPRS connectivity in India continues to be low given limited handset
capability and operator constraints and there is a large population of users who are not familiar
with accessing GPRS. As GPRS is the most prevalent delivery technology for MVAS, the
lack of growth in the technology may hinder the expansion of MVAS in India.

• Preference for low feature handsets. Consumers generally purchase handsets for the basic
utility service, which is voice. However, low cost handsets are not capable of supporting many
MVAS products. Since in many of these value added services, like MMS, both the sender and
receiver handsets need to support MMS, the scope of expansion and use of the service is
limited.

• High cost to end-user. The cost of value added services is not inexpensive, and end-user
acceptance of the costs remains to be proven in India.

• Lack of infrastructure. A lot of services cannot be introduced in India because of lack of


supporting infrastructure, for example, the absence of location-based MVAS. Location based
value added services is still not possible due to the current lack of a digitized map of India.

In addition, while we believe that we are currently not subject to any specific governmental regulations,
except those specifically mentioned in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there can be no assurance
that we will not be subject to any approvals, licenses, registrations or permissions for operating our
business in the future. If we fail to obtain any of these approvals, licenses, registrations or permissions,
in a timely manner, or at all, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects could
be adversely affected.

36. We face risks associated with currency exchange rate fluctuations.

We have adopted the Indian Rupee as our reporting currency. We currently transact our business
primarily in Indian Rupees and, to a lesser extent, in Singapore dollars, U.S. dollars and Euros. In
particular, we have capital expenditure costs (in forex) prominently in US Dollars. We spent Rs. 123.49
million and Rs. 62.3 million which amounted to 28.84% and 26.29%, of our total operating costs and
expenses, including depreciation, for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and our Fiscal 2007,
respectively. To the extent these currencies appreciate against the Indian Rupee, it would increase our
expenses reported in the Indian Rupee.

We intend to expand our business overseas, which will increase our exposure to the risk of currency
fluctuations in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, conducting business in currencies other than the Indian

xxiii
Rupee subjects us to fluctuations in currency exchange rates that could have a negative effect on our
reported operating results. Fluctuations in the value of the Indian Rupee relative to other currencies
impact our income, cost of sales and services and operating margins and result in foreign currency
translation gains and losses. While we have not engaged in exchange rate hedging activities in the past
due to the size of our operations, we may implement hedging strategies to mitigate these risks in the
future. However, these hedging strategies may not eliminate our exposure to foreign exchange rate
fluctuations and involve costs and risks of their own, such as ongoing management time and expertise,
external costs to implement the strategy and potential accounting implications.

37. The proprietary information or data of our carrier customers may be misappropriated by
our employees and as a result, cause us to breach our contractual obligations in relation to
such confidential information.

We require our employees to enter into confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements to limit access to
and distribution of the confidential information of our carrier customers’ subscribers such as their name
and address lists. There can be no assurance that the steps taken by us will adequately prevent the
disclosure of confidential information by an employee or a subcontractor or a subcontractor’s employee
and we do not have internal controls and processes to ensure that our employees comply with their
obligations under such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements. If the confidential information is
disclosed by us or is misappropriated by our employees or subcontractors, our customers may raise
claims against us for breach of our contractual obligations. The successful assertion of any claim may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

38. Our insurance coverage may prove inadequate to satisfy future claims against us.

We may become subject to liabilities against which we are not adequately insured or insured at all or
for which we cannot obtain insurance. Our insurance policies contain exclusions and limitations on
coverage and we do not have business interruption insurance. In addition, our insurance policies may
not continue to be available on reasonable terms, at economically acceptable premiums, or at all. As a
result, our insurance coverage may not fully cover the claims against us. Our insurers may not accept
all claims made by us. A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our
available insurance coverage or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the
imposition of a larger deductible or co-insurance requirement, could adversely affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations and could cause the price of our Equity Shares to decline.
For more information, see the section “Business — Insurance” beginning on page 68.

39. We currently enjoy certain tax benefits, and any change in our eligiblity for these benefits
or tax policies applicable to us may affect our results of operations.

Presently, we enjoy certain benefits under Section 80IC of the I.T. Act, 1961. We also enjoy exemption
from sales tax with respect to sales tax under a notification issued by the Himachal Pradesh
government. The sales tax exemption requires that 65% and 70%of the persons employed at our offices
in Parwanoo undertaking I and undertaking II, respectively, within the state continue to be ‘Himachal
bonafide’, subject to any exemptions granted by the state government in this regard. As a result of these
incentives, most of our business activities (for further information, see the section “Business”
beginning on page 54) are not subject to income or sales tax liabilities. There is no assurance that we
will continue to enjoy these tax benefits in future. When our tax incentives expire or terminate, our tax
expense will materially increase, reducing our profitability to the extent of exemption available during
the exemption period. Further, the Government of India could enact laws in the future that may
adversely affect our tax incentives and consequently, our tax liabilities and profits.

40. We provide applications and services to our carrier customers who operate in a highly
regulated industry and the licenses and the regulatory environment in which they operate
are subject to change, which may indirectly adversely affect our operations.

We are subject to Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of India (“TRAI”) regulation under


which we are required to apply for a tele-marketing license. However, we cannot guarantee that we
may not be subject to other regulations and licensing requirements including new regulations issued by
TRAI in the future which may adversely affect the business, financial condition and prospects.

xxiv
We provide applications and services to our carrier customers and are dependent on them to market or
distribute our applications or services to their end-user subscribers. Our carrier customers operate in the
telecommunications industry which is subject to extensive government regulation and licensing
requirements. The extensive regulatory structure under which they operate could constrain their
flexibility to respond to market conditions, competition or changes in cost structure. In addition, our
carrier customers are required to obtain a wide variety of approvals and licenses from various
regulatory bodies. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be granted on a timely basis or at
all. The Government of India may also revise regulations or policies related to carriers or operators in
the telecommunications industry on terms which may not be favorable to our carrier customers or
which may result in uncertainties with respect to their implementation. In addition, the licenses which
our carrier customers require to operate in the telecommunications industry reserve broad discretion to
the Government of India to influence the conduct of their businesses by giving the Government of India
the right to modify at any time the terms and conditions of such licenses, take over our carrier
customers’ networks and terminate, modify, revoke or suspend the licenses in the event of default by
our carrier customers in complying with the terms and conditions of the licenses. Any unfavorable
change in the regulatory environment as it relates to MVAS may adversely affect the business,
financial condition and prospects of our carrier customers and this may in turn have an adverse effect
on our business and results of operations. See the section “— External Risk Factors — Risks Relating
to Our Industry — Our carrier customers are subject to extensive government regulation of the
telecommunications industry in India” on page 31 for more information.

41. The new Do Not Call (“DNC”) regulation issued by TRAI imposes an obligation on us. In
addition, our new contracts include a clause in relation to imposition of liabilities on us in
the event we do not comply with the DNC regulation.

TRAI has recently issued the DNC regulation which provides that if subscribers to telecom operators’
services do not wish to receive unsolicited commercial communication (“UCC”) on their telephone, it
will be the operators’ responsibility to register its subscribers’ numbers with the National Do Not Call
(“NDNC”) registry. Telemarketers can call only those numbers that are cleared by the NDNC registry.
The regulations provide for registration of the telemarketers with the Department of
Telecommunications (“DoT”), the registration of subscribers with the NDNC registry, and the
mechanisms on which it would operate. We have registered with the DOT for all operational circles of
our carrier customers. In the event that we violate these guidelines, marketing our services and products
by way of SMS or voice communications may be directed to be stopped which will adversely affect the
income from our application services, and thus our overall financial condition.

Since TRAI has come out with stringent penalties in case of violations, our customers have passed on
the burden of registration with DoT and compliance to these guidelines on us. As per our recent
agreement with Airtel, which constituted 18% of our operating income as of December 31, 2007, we
have undertaken to comply with the DNC legislation and in case of violation, Airtel has the right to
recover any penalties that maybe imposed, from us. In addition, while currently we have this obligation
only to Airtel, other operators may also ask for similar obligations in the future.

42. We have entered into, are likely to continue to enter into, related party transactions with our
Promoters and Directors in the future.

We have entered into transactions with several related parties for providing our telecommunications
value added services, platforms, products and solutions products and services, including our Promoters
and Directors. While we believe that all such transactions have been conducted on, and have
commercial terms consistent with, an arm’s length basis, there can be no assurance that we could not
have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions not been entered into with related parties.
Furthermore, it is likely that we will enter into related party transactions in the future. Conflicts may
also arise in the ordinary course of our decision-making in connection with our negotiations and
dealings with our Promoters and/or Promoter Group companies with respect to services that we provide
to them and the arrangements that we may enter into with them. There can be no assurance that such
transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operations. For more information regarding our related party transactions, see the section
“Related Party Transactions” beginning on page 139.

43. We may find ourselves in breach of the terms of our arrangements with one or more carrier
customers or be subject to fines and financial penalties because of our failure to help
ensure that content is not obscene, defamatory, racist, or otherwise offensive or unlawful in
nature.

We take steps to ensure that the content we deploy adheres to the standards and terms of our customer
contracts. However, there can be no assurance that such content will not contain obscene, defamatory,
racist, or otherwise offensive or unlawful material. If offensive or unlawful material is detected, we are
able to take action to prevent the delivery of such material and fine or impose financial penalties on
third-party content or service providers responsible for the attempted conveyance of such material.
Such fines or financial penalties can be taken from revenue held by us that has not yet been delivered to
a third party content or service provider. However, any failure on our part to detect and prevent the
conveyance of such material could result in a breach of an arrangement with a carrier customer, which
could cause such carrier customer to terminate its arrangement with us. In addition, fines and financial
penalties may be imposed on us for such breach and we may not be successful in recovering such fines
or financial penalties from our content or service providers. Any of the foregoing may in turn have an
adverse effect on our growth, business, financial condition or results of operations.

44. We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds of this Issue and we may not use
the proceeds as per the stated objects. This could affect our profitability and cause the price
of our Equity Shares to decline.

Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds of the Issue,
and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether we are
using the proceeds in a manner that you believe enhances our market value. See the section “Objects of
the Issue” beginning on page 30. Pending utilization of the proceeds of this Issue for the purposes
described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we intend to invest the proceeds of the Issue in interest
bearing liquid instruments including money market mutual funds, for the necessary duration. Such
investments would be made in accordance with investment policies or investment limits approved by
our Board of Directors and shareholders from time to time. We also intend use the net proceeds for
general corporate purposes that do not improve our profitability or increase our market value, which
could cause the price of our Equity Shares to decline.

45. We have not entered into any definitive agreements to utilize the proceeds of the Fresh Issue
and our intended use of proceeds from the Fresh Issue has not been appraised by any bank
or financial institution.

We intend to use the net proceeds of the Fresh Issue for purchase of office equipments for our various
office premises and various customer sites and general corporate purposes. For more information, see
the section “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 30. We have not entered into definitive
arrangements for utilization of net proceeds of the Fresh Issue.

Pending use of the funds for these purposes, we intend to invest the funds in high quality,
interest/dividend bearing liquid instruments. If we are unable to spend the amount on acquisitions or
setting up of additional facilities, the balance funds will be used for augmentation of our working
capital and/or for general corporate purposes.

The objects of the Issue have not been appraised by any bank or other financial institution. We have not
entered into any definitive agreements to utilize such proceeds.

46. Valuations in our industry are presently high and may not be sustained in the future and
are also not reflective of future valuations for such industry.

There is no standard valuation methodology for companies in businesses similar to ours. The valuations
in our and related sectors such as telecommunications, software and the information technology
industries are presently high and may not be sustained in the future. Additionally, current valuations
may not be reflective of future valuations within these industries or our industry.

xxvi
47. Our restated consolidated and unconsolidated summary statements follow different
accounting years and as a result, our results of operations for certain periods are not
comparable.

Our restated consolidated and unconsolidated summary statements follow different accounting years
due to changes in our fiscal year end. Our results for our most recently ended fiscal accounting period
reflect a nine-month period ending December 31, 2007, our fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and
March 31, 2006 reflect 12 month periods, our fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 reflects a 15 month
period and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 reflects a 12 month period. Due to the difference
in fiscal year ends, our results of operations discussed under the section “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’ beginning on page 280 are not
comparable and our historical financial performance may not be considered as an accurate indicative of
future financial performance.

48. Our growth requires additional capital which may not be available on terms acceptable to
us or at all.

We intend to pursue a strategy of continued investment to grow our business and expand the range of
products and services we offer. We anticipate that we may need to obtain financing as we expand our
operations. We may not be successful in obtaining additional funds in a timely manner, on favorable
terms or at all. If we do not have access to additional capital, we may be required to delay, scale back
or abandon some or all of our acquisition plans or growth strategies or reduce capital expenditures and
the size of our operations. See the section “External Risk Factors- Risks Relating to India- Any
downgrading of India’s debt rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise debt
financing” beginning on page xxxii for more information.

49. We do not own our registered office or most of our offices from which we operate.

We lease and do not own the premises on which our registered office in New Delhi and most of our
other offices in Noida, Kolkata, Mohali, Hyderabad, Parwanoo, Bangalore and Mumbai are located.
Although most of the lease agreements provide for an option to renew, this option to renew is on
mutually agreed terms. The majority of our lease agreements are not registered with the local or state
authorities, and could be terminated without much difficulty by the relevant property owner or
manager. If any of the property owners or managers do not renew the agreements under which we
occupy the premises or will only renew such agreements on terms and conditions that may be
unfavorable to us, or if the property owners or managers were to terminate the lease, we may suffer a
disruption in our operations or have to pay increased rental rates which could have an adverse effect on
our business, financial conditions and results of operations. For more information, see the section “Our
Business – Properties” beginning on page 68.

We currently own a property in Singapore. We may in the future purchase other properties. There can
be no assurance that any information relating to our decision to purchase such properties will be
accurate, complete or current. Any decision based on inaccurate, incomplete or current information
may result in risks and liabilities associated with acquiring and owning such properties, being passed
onto us. We may also require financing to fund our capital expenditures on these properties which may
place restrictions on us which may, among other things, increase our vulnerability to general adverse
economic and industry conditions, require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to fund
capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and use for other general corporate purposes,
either through the imposition of restrictive financial or operational covenants or otherwise.

50. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon future earnings, financial
condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures.

The amount of our future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon our future earnings, financial
condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to pay dividends. Additionally, we may be restricted in our ability to
make dividend payments by the terms of any debt financing we may obtain in the future.

51. Rapid technological changes may render our technologies, products or services obsolete.

xxvii
The telecommunication services industry is characterized by rapid technological change and significant
capital requirements. Given the fast pace of technological innovation in the telecommunication sector,
we face the risk of our technology becoming obsolete and hence the need to invest significantly large
amounts of capital to upgrade our networks or use new technologies. We face the risk of unforeseen
complications in the deployment of new value added services and products, and there is no assurance
that the estimate of the necessary capital expenditure to offer such services will not be exceeded. New
services may not be developed and/or deployed according to expected schedules or may not achieve
commercial acceptance or be cost effective. Failure to achieve commercial acceptance of services
offered by us could result in additional capital expenditures being required or a reduction in
profitability. Any such change may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations.

52. Our employee attrition rate may increase to a level where we are not able to sustain our
deliverables at a given point of time.

We believe we pay competitive compensation package and benefits to our employees, however, given
the increasing wage levels in India we cannot assure you that our employee attrition rate will not
increase to an unsustainable level or that we will be able to recruit experienced professionals to replace
the professionals leaving at that particular point of time. Furthermore, increase in compensation
payable to employees in India may reduce some of the inherent cost competitiveness enjoyed by us
through our operations in India. Employee compensation in India is increasing at a fast rate, which
could result in increased costs relating to engineers, managers and other mid-level professionals. We
may need to continue to increase the levels of our employee compensation to retain talent and this will
reduce our competitiveness compared to competitors. Our attrition rate for the Fiscal 2007 and the nine
months ended December 31, 2007 was 16.47% and 16.25%, respectively.

53. One of our Subsidiaries has incurred significant losses and certain of our Promoter Group
have incurred significant losses companies have incurred significant losses in the past or
have had negative networth.

Mobisoc Technology Private Limited, one of our Subsidiaries, has incurred loss of Rs. 14.03 million
for the nine months period ended December 31, 2007.

In addition, some of our Promoter Group companies also incurred losses in the last three fiscal years.
The details of such companies and their respective losses are as follows:

We cannot assure you that our Subsidiaries will not continue to incur losses in future and our Promoter
Group companies will not continue to incur losses in future, that their net worth will be positive in the
future or that any of the foregoing will not materially affect our business, prospects, financial condition
and results of operations.

54. Equity shares of some of our listed Promoter Group companies are infrequently traded/not
traded on the stock exchanges and trading of one of our Promoter Group company was
suspended in past.

The equity shares of some of our listed Promoter Group companies are infrequently traded/not traded
on the Stock Exchanges on which they are listed. The trading of equity shares of one of our listed
Promoter Group Company, Spice Mobile Limited (formerly known as Spice Limited), was suspended
by BSE due to non compliance of certain provisions of the Listing Agreement from October 6, 1997 to
September 2, 2003. In addition, IO System Limited, one of our Promoter Group companies, has
received four show cause notices from the BSE and one show cause notice from the Delhi Stock
Exchange for alleged violation of the listing agreements with these stock exchanges. Further, it has also
received two show cause notices from the BSE on account of non-compliance with certain provisions
of the Takeover Code. For further details, see the section “Our Promoters and Promoter Group”
beginning on page 93. We cannot assure you that trading of equity shares of Spice Mobile Limited or
any other Promoter Group company will not be suspended in the future by the relevant stock exchange.
In the event trading of shares of any of our Promoter Group companies is so suspended, it may have an
adverse effect on trading of our Equity Shares and which may negatively affect our financial condition
and results of operations.

55. Plus Paper Foodpac Limited, one of our Promoter Group company, had withdrawn the
draft red herring prospectus filed with SEBI.

Plus Paper Foodpac Limited, one of our Promoter Group company had filed the draft red herring
prospectus to SEBI for its proposed initial public offering of its equity shares on November 1, 2004.
SEBI vide a letter dated January 3, 2005 has raised certain observations with respect to the promoter’s
contribution for the purpose of the eligibility of the proposed initial public offering planned by the
company. Subsequently, the lead manager vide letter dated March 4, 2005 withdrew the draft red
herring prospectus filed by the company.

56. Our contingent liabilities could adversely affect our financial conditions.

xxix
As of December 31, 2007, we had a contingent liability of Rs. 38.89 million towards not charging of
service tax on the ‘short messaging peer to peer services’ including penalties, thereof, as disclosed in
our restated consolidated financial statements. For details see the section “Financial Statements”
beginning on page 166.

57. We are involved in certain tax proceedings and have received show cause notices under
labour laws.

We have received a show cause notice from the Central Excise Division in relation to payment of
service tax alleging that we have not filed our tax returns appropriately and has imposed penalties
against our Company amounting to Rs. 489,940. In addition, the Central Excise Commissioner has
passed an order against our Company for the alleged fraudulent suppression of the material fact of
providing services of ‘Short Message Peer to Peer Messaging’ under the self assessment procedure
under the service tax laws and procedures, with an intention to evade service tax. The liability of our
Company under the said order for the assessment year 2006-2007 is Rs. 15,576,854, with applicable
interest; penalty of Rs. 100 for every day for the period during which failure in payment continues,
provided the total amount of this penalty should not exceed the amount of service tax and cess that our
Company failed to pay; and further penalty of Rs. 1,000.

In addition, our Company has received a notice from the Labour Officer cum Additional Officer
Inspector of Factories, Office of the Labour Officer, Solan, Himachal Pradesh alleging that our unit in
Parwanoo comes under the definition of “factory” under the Factories Act, 1948 and our Company is in
the alleged violation of the Factories Act, 1948 and the Himachal Pradesh Factories Rules, 1950 and
other labour laws. Subsequently, three complaints dated May 17, 2008 have been filed before the
Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Kasauli, Solan, Himachal Pradesh against our Company, the Managing
Director, the Factory Manager and the Senior Manager (Human Resources) of our Company, alleging
that our Company is in violation of certain provisions of the Contract Labour (Regulation and
Abolition) Act, 1970 and the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Himachal Rules 1974; the
Payment of Wages Act, 1936 and the Himachal Pradesh Payment of Wages Rules, 1979; and the
Minimum Wages Act,1948 read with the Himachal Pradesh Minimum Wages (Amendment) Rules,
2006.

It has also been alleged that despite a rectification notice (LO/Solan/Inspections/2007-1084-88) being
sent to our Company by the Labour Officer, Solan for submitting a compliance report, our Company
failed to do so and is hence liable for punishment under the above-mentioned legislations.

All such proceedings are currently pending. For further details see the section “Outstanding Litigation
and Material Developments” beginning on page 300.

58. There are outstanding litigations against certain of our Directors, our Promoters and our
Promoter Group Companies

There are certain proceedings, including criminal proceedings, pending in various courts and
authorities at different levels of adjudication against our Subsidiaries, our Directors, our Promoters and
our Promoter Group. These legal proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before
various courts and tribunals. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the
extent ascertainable, excluding contingent liabilities but including amounts claimed jointly and
severally from parties. For further details see the section “Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments” beginning on page 300.

59. Our Company has in the last 12 months, issued Equity Share sat a price that could be lower
than the Issue Price

We have, in the last 12 months, issued Equity Shares at a price that could be lower than the Issue Price.
For further details regarding such issuances of Equity Shares, see the section “Capital Structure – Notes
to the Capital Structure” beginning on page 22.

60. Our Company is considering a Pre-IPO Placement and Equity Shares issued pursuant to
the Pre-IPO Placement may be at a price lower than the Issue Price

xxx
Our Company is considering Pre-IPO Placement of up to [●] Equity Shares to certain investors
including persons resident outside India, prior to filing of the Red Herring Prospectus with the RoC.
Equity Shares issued to such investors pursuant to the Pre-IPO Placement may be at a price lower than
the Issue Price.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

Risks Relating to Our Industry

61. Our carrier customers are subject to extensive government regulation of the
telecommunications industry in India.

We are dependent on our carrier customers to market and sell our white label applications and services
which we offer. As such, any regulation which may have an adverse effect on our carrier customers
may in turn adversely harm our business. The telecommunications industry in which our carrier
customers operate is subject to extensive government regulation. The Government of India along with
the TRAI regulate many aspects of the telecommunications industry in India. The extensive regulatory
structure under which our carrier customers operate could constrain their flexibility to respond to
market conditions, competition or changes in their cost structure, and thereby adversely affect them. In
addition, they are required to obtain a wide variety of approvals from various regulatory bodies. There
can be no assurance that these approvals will be forthcoming on a timely basis or at all, which could
have an adverse effect on their business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

The Government of India may replace or revise regulations or policies, including end-user subscriber
pricing rules. TRAI has recently released a consultation paper dated May 28, 2008 on “Growth of
Value Added Services and Regulatory Issues” to expolore the possibility for introduction of regulatory
regime and licencing for value added services in the telecom industry. Any such changes, and related
uncertainties with respect to their implementation, could have an adverse effect on the business, results
of operations, financial condition and prospects of our carrier customers which may in turn adversely
affect us. Our carrier customers may also need to incur capital expenditures to comply with and benefit
from anticipated changes in regulation that are then postponed, not implemented or not implemented on
terms favorable to them. In addition, their inability to complete certain actions required by the
regulators on time or at all may adversely affect their operations and financial condition.

The licenses under which our carrier customers operate their businesses typically reserve broad
discretion to the Government of India to influence the conduct of their businesses by giving it the right
to modify, at any time, the terms and conditions of the licenses and to terminate or suspend the licenses
in the interests of national security or in the event of a national emergency, war or similar situations. In
addition, the Government of India may also impose certain penalties including suspension, revocation
or termination of a license in the event of default by our carrier customers in complying with the terms
and conditions of the license. Our carrier customers’ licenses may also be for a fixed term and there can
be no assurance that any of these licenses will be renewed at all or renewed on the same or better terms.
Any of the foregoing may have an adverse effect on business, results of operations, financial condition
and prospects of our carrier customers which may in turn have an adverse effect on us.

62. We may be adversely affected by future government regulations implemented for the
telecommunications value added services industry in which we operate.

Currently, the telecommunications value added services industry is not subject to any specific
government regulations. However, there can be no assurance that the Government of India may not
implement new regulations and policies which will require us to obtain approvals and licenses from the
Government of India and other regulatory bodies or impose onerous requirements and conditions on
our operations. Any such changes and the related uncertainties with respect to the implementation of
the new regulations, or our inability to obtain these approvals and licenses or perform such
requirements and conditions on time or at all, may have an adverse effect on our business and results of
operations. In addition, we may have to incur capital expenditures to comply with any new regulations,
which may also harm our results of operations.

63. Concerns about health risks relating to the use of mobile handsets may adversely affect our
prospects.

xxxi
In recent years, media and other research reports have linked radio frequency emissions from mobile
handsets to various health concerns, including cancer, and to interference with various electronic
medical devices, including hearing aids and pacemakers. As research and studies are ongoing, we
cannot assure you that further research and studies will not demonstrate a link between radio frequency
emissions and health concerns, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects. Further, concerns over radio frequency emissions may
discourage the use of mobile handsets which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and prospects.

Risks Relating to India

64. A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer.

Our performance and growth are dependent on the health of the Indian economy. The economy could
be adversely affected by various factors such as political or regulatory action, including adverse
changes in liberalization policies, social disturbances, terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war,
natural calamities, interest rates, commodity and energy prices and various other factors. Any
slowdown in the Indian economy may adversely affect our business and financial performance and the
price of our Equity Shares.

65. Political instability or changes in the government could delay the liberalization of the
Indian economy and adversely affect economic conditions in India generally, which could
affect our financial results and prospects.

Since 1991, successive Indian governments have pursued policies of economic liberalization, including
significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. Nevertheless, the role of the Indian central and
state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators has remained
significant. The leadership of India has changed many times since 1996. The current central
government, the United Progressive Alliance, which came to power in May 2004, is a coalition of
several political parties and is headed by the Indian National Congress Party. Although the current
government has announced policies and taken initiatives that support the economic liberalization
policies that have been pursued by previous governments, the rate of economic liberalization could
change, and specific laws and policies affecting foreign investment and other matters affecting
investment in our securities could change as well. Any significant change in liberalization and
deregulation policies could adversely affect business and economic conditions in India generally and
our business in particular.

66. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to
raise debt financing.

Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international
rating agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and
other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have an adverse
effect on our capital expenditure plans, business and financial performance.

67. Wage pressures in India may prevent us from sustaining our competitive advantage and
may reduce our profit margins.

Wage costs in India have historically been significantly lower than wage costs in the United States,
Europe and other developed economies for comparably skilled professionals, which has been one of
India’s competitive strengths. However, wage increases in India may prevent us from sustaining this
competitive advantage and may negatively affect our profit margins. Wages in India are increasing at a
faster rate than in the western countries, which could result in increased costs for software
professionals, particularly project managers and other mid-level professionals. We may need to
continue to increase the levels of our employee compensation to remain competitive and manage
attrition. Compensation increases may result in an adverse effect on our business, financial condition
and results of operations and could cause the price of our Equity Shares to decline.

Risks Relating to this Issue and Investment in our Equity Shares

xxxii
68. After this Issue, our Equity Shares may experience price and volume fluctuations or an
active trading market for our Equity Shares may not develop.

The price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate after this Issue as a result of several factors, including the
results of our operations, the performance of our competitors, developments in the Indian
telecommunications sector and changing perceptions in the market about investments in the Indian
telecommunications sector, adverse media reports on us or the Indian telecommunications sector,
changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts, significant
developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies, and significant
developments in India’s fiscal regulations.

69. Any future issuance of Equity Shares may dilute prospective investors’ shareholding and
sales of our Equity Shares by our Promoters or other major shareholders may adversely
affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Any future equity issuances by us, including in a primary offering, may lead to the dilution of
investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity
Shares by our Promoters or other major shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could
also affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

70. Conditions in the Indian securities market may affect the price or liquidity of the Equity
Shares.

The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Stock
Exchanges have in the past experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of listed securities. These
exchanges have also experienced problems that have affected the market price and liquidity of the
securities of Indian companies, such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays
and strikes by brokers. In addition, the governing bodies of the Stock Exchanges have from time to
time restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements.
Further, disputes have occurred on occasion between listed companies and the Stock Exchanges and
other regulatory bodies that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. If similar
problems occur in the future, the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares could be adversely
affected.

71. You will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian Stock Exchange any of the Equity
Shares you purchase in the Issue.

Under the SEBI Guidelines, we are permitted to allot Equity Shares within 15 days of the closure of the
public issue. Consequently, the Equity Shares you purchase in the Issue may not be credited to your
demat account with Depository Participants until approximately 15 days after the Bid/Issue Closing
Date. You can start trading in the Equity Shares only after they have been credited to your demat
account and final listing and trading approvals are received from the Stock Exchanges. Further, there
can be no assurance that the Equity Shares allocated to you will be credited to your demat account, or
that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the specified time periods.

72. There has been no public market for the Equity Shares prior to this Issue so the Issue Price
may not be indicative of the value of the Equity Shares.

Prior to this Issue, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares in India or elsewhere. After
this Issue, there will be no public market for the Equity Shares in any country other than India. The
Issue Price will be determined by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs and could differ
significantly from the price at which the Equity Shares will trade subsequent to completion of this
Issue. We cannot assure you that even after the Equity Shares have been approved for listing on the
Stock Exchanges, any active trading market for the Equity Shares will develop or be sustained after this
Issue, or that the offering price will correspond to the price at which the Equity Shares will trade in the
Indian public market subsequent to this Issue.

xxxiii
73. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares will be listed on the Indian stock exchanges in
a timely manner, and prospective investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian
stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in the Issue.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing of the Equity Shares will not be
granted until after those Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval will require all other
relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a delay in
listing the Equity Shares on the NSE and BSE. Any delay in obtaining the approval would restrict
prospective investors’ ability to dispose of their Equity Shares.

In addition, pursuant to Indian regulations, certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares
can be listed and trading may commence. Investors’ book entry, or “demat”, accounts with depository
participants in India are expected to be credited within two working days of the date on which the basis
of allotment is approved by NSE and BSE. Thereafter, upon receipt of final approval from the NSE and
the BSE, trading in the Equity Shares is expected to commence within seven working days of the date
on which the basis of allotment is approved by the Designated Stock Exchange. We cannot assure that
the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will
commence, within the time periods specified above.

74. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may
adversely affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity
Shares at a particular point in time.

We are subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed by all stock exchanges in India, which does not allow
transactions beyond a certain volatility in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates
independently of the index based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI on Indian
stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breaker is set by the stock exchanges based on the
historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock exchanges do not
inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker from time to time, and may change it without
our knowledge. This circuit breaker effectively limits the upward and downward movements in the
price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the
ability of shareholders to sell the Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell
their Equity Shares.

SECTION III: INTRODUCTION

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS

Overview

Our Company is one of the leading providers of telecommunications value added products, services
and solutions in India. We provide a wide range of telecommunications value added services,
platforms, products and solutions to telecommunications carrier customers, subscribers of such carriers
and enterprises across India. As a value added services provider, we not only conceptualize products to
meet our customer needs, we source and aggregate content, provide the relevant platform for delivery
of our products and services and integrate these services with the core network elements of our carrier
customer. We have the ability to provide a comprehensive suite of value added products, services and
solutions across all key technology bearers. Our telecommunications products and services and
telecommunications solutions are delivered to subscribers of major telecommunications carriers in
India, including Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance, Vodafone, MTNL, Tata
Teleservices Limited and “Connect” & “Ping” of HFCL.

Our product portfolio includes music, information and entertainment based products and services (such
as mobile radio, BGM, CRBT, ringtone downloads, videos, contests, astrology, news, sports updates
and commodity rates), social networking products and services (such as voice chat), and call
management solutions (such as voicemail, voice SMS, select caller list, Pay4Me and missed call
alerts), all of which enable subscribers to personalize their mobile phones and enhance user experience.
Our products allow subscribers to access informational and entertainment content in more than 17
languages using IVRS speech-based navigation. Using our social networking platform, subscribers are
able to generate their own interactive content through messaging and conversations. We provide these
value added services and products through our carrier customers to mobile subscribers and enterprise
clients using IVRS, SMS, USSD, GPRS and WAP technology and delivery methods. Our applications
(other than GPRS) can be deployed on any network and accessed from most mobile handsets and fixed-
line devices. Many of our products and services can be accessed by subscribers using a variety of
delivery platforms, i.e., voice, SMS, USSD, GPRS, WAP and 3G network, thereby enabling us to
deploy our products and services across a majority of operators and networks.

We focus on multi-modal platforms based on voice, text and data. Our mobile radio platform gives
subscribers the interactive option to access content on demand in the language of their choice, using
their mobile phones. Given the demographic diversity of India, our platforms offer an efficient, easy-
to-use and attractive solution to our carrier customers for providing services to their subscribers. The
platform enables our carrier customers to introduce better targeted, more innovative content based
services. Our data platform, Mitr proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and
accessing content and services, giving the subscriber a personalized experience. Our delivery
infrastructure is deployed across most network circles of our carrier customers.

Our roaming solutions provide traffic flow information, enable network optimization and identify
network bottlenecks for our carrier customers. Subscribers benefit from real-time updates and better
coverage while roaming outside their regular network. Through our in-house research and development
team, we have developed roaming solutions such as Welcome Roamer, Roam Tracker, Roam Globe,
Roam Secure and Roam Privilege.

Our value added services and products provide a source of additional revenue to our carrier customers
with relatively insignificant capital expenditure. Our music, entertainment and information based value
added products and services are dependent on the content which we provide. We have alliances with a
number of content owners and license holders and licensed content is delivered to our carrier customers
through our delivery platforms. As of May 31, 2008, we had more than 140,000 songs in more than 17
languages, as well as logos, wallpaper and 12,000 ringtones in our content database to cater to the
needs of multicultural and multilingual subscribers in India.

Our consolidated income increased from Rs. 332.26 million in Fiscal 2006 to Rs. 686.80 million in
Fiscal 2007 and to Rs. 777.19 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. Our consolidated

1
profit after tax increased from Rs. 220.38 million in Fiscal 2006 to Rs. 410.50 million in Fiscal 2007
and to Rs. 330.68 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.

We were incorporated in India in April 2000. Our registered office is located in New Delhi, India. We
also maintain offices in Noida, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mohali, Hyderabad, Parwanoo and Mumbai and
have an overseas office in Singapore.

Our Competitive Strengths

The telecommunications services industry has grown exponentially in recent years as a result of India’s
expanding economy. Land-based telephone connections and services are inadequate for current
consumer needs and mobile phones are increasingly filling the growing demand. Competitive pressures
have also resulted in decreasing prices and declining average revenue per user in the Indian
telecommunications industry and telecommunications operators and service providers are increasingly
looking to additional services and products to support and grow their market share, revenues and
margins.

Innovative platform based product development and diversity of products and services

We are continually engaged in the development of new products and services on our platforms to
enhance the product portfolio we offer to our telecommunications carrier customers and other
enterprises and bring new products and services to the market to address consumer needs and drive
demand. We focus on multi-modal platforms based on voice, text and data. Our mobile radio platform
gives subscribers the interactive option to access content on demand in the language of their choice
using their mobile phones. Given the demographic diversity of India, our platforms offer an efficient,
easy-to-use and attractive solution to our carrier customers for providing services to their subscribers.
The platform enables carriers to introduce better targeted, more innovative content based services. Our
data platform, Mitr, proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and accessing content and
services, giving the subscriber a personalized experience. We continue to invest in the growth of our
platforms to ensure that these are in tune with the requirements of our customers. In addition, we are
constantly refining our offerings to improve adoption of mobility-related products by consumers and
address pricing pressures. We provide a diverse portfolio of services, products and content, with a
focus on entertainment, information, music and games. We have introduced new services in India,
including tambola via mobile phone, BGM, VAS on USSD, Pay4Me and select caller list. For music,
entertainment and infotainment products, we have launched our BGM service, mobile radio and
ringtones; for call-related products, we have launched select caller VAS on USSD and Pay4Me; for
services and applications, we have launched user generated products such as voice chat; and we have
developed and launched innovative roaming solutions such as Welcome Roamer, Roam Tracker, Roam
Globe, Roam Secure and Roam Privilege. Our ability to offer a complete suite of products and services
allows our customers to offer a wide range of user interface services to their subscribers, resulting in
ease of market adoption, revenue growth, and higher subscriber satisfaction.

Entrenched customer relationships

All of the major telecommunications carriers in India form a part of our customer base, including
Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance, Vodafone, MTNL, Tata Teleservices Limited
and “Connect” & “Ping” of HFCL. We have successfully marketed our solutions to a multitude of
diverse telecommunication carriers customers. Service deployments with our customers involve
complex hardware systems and software applications deeply embedded within the customer’s core
network systems. Since the service deployment on our customers’ network is complex, our relationship
development personnel are stationed at our telecommunication carriers office, giving us the ability to
expand quickly and efficiently the range of services deployed and benefiting from the revenue growth
from their subscriber base.

Our presence and deep experience across the mobile industry value chain

Our experience in the mobile industry value chain provides us with valuable insight into the mobile
eco-system. Our association with Spice Communications has in the past provided us with enhanced and
expedited feedback on the ever-changing needs of end-user subscribers and their feedback has been
incorporated by our research and development team into new products and services. We believe

2
expedited feedback from the telecommunication carriers perspective gives us a time-to-market
advantage for development of new products and services. In addition, we have the capability of
managing the entire value added services segment which a telecommunications carrier customer
requires in providing value added services to its subscribers. Currently, we provide this management
service to Spice Communications. This managed services model benefits the carrier by reducing its
investment in the value added services segment and helps the launch of innovative data and multimedia
services quickly and efficiently.

Strong core technological capabilities

We have significant in-house resources and capabilities and a deep domain understanding in the areas
of voice, data, and signaling. In the past, this understanding has allowed our Company to build
technology intensive applications and products such as BGM (voice domain), mobile radio platform
(voice domain), USSD/SMSC (signaling domain) and services, such as call filter (enhanced IN
services) and Mitr. Our technology team works closely with the business teams and keeps a close
watch on the value added services environment worldwide. We have a sophisticated understanding of
the complexities of the operations of our carrier customers, which enables us to better address the
technological concerns involved in incorporating products and services into operators’ networks. We
were one of the first to develop products and services such as BGM, VAS on USSD, Select Caller List
and Pay4Me, resulting in revenue growth for our Company over the last few years.

Our diversified content database

Our music, entertainment and information based value added services and products are dependent on
the content we source, license, reformat and re-position. We have invested significant effort in growing
the necessary relationships and have forged alliances with more than 300 content owners and license
holders. We have a content database of more than 140,000 songs in more than 17 languages, as well as
logos, wallpaper and 12,000 ringtones in our content database, to cater to the needs of multicultural and
multilingual users in India. With our pan-India presence and a well diversified offering of value added
products and services, we provide relevant services in a convenient manner to our consumers in the
language of their choice. Hosting a gamut of content varieties, consisting of music, entertainment,
gaming, contesting and information based services, we facilitate continuous access to the content
required by our carrier customers.

Experienced management and research and development team

Our senior management team has an average of, over 14 years of experience in the telecommunications
and technology industries with well-established companies. We have a research and development team
comprised of 128 members and have in the past created and nurtured innovative products and services
in the evolving mobile eco-system and building community brands across product and service verticals.
Our experienced senior management tea

m has been a primary contributor to our current status as a leading provider of telecommunications
value added services and products and solutions in India.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to be the preferred VAS business partner of telecommunications carriers and enterprise
clients. We strive to offer the most innovative platforms, products and services that can be accessed and
used by our carrier customers’ subscribers on mobile phones and by our enterprise clients, delivering
value added voice services, data transmission, mobile commerce and communications.

Provide innovative applications to fulfill our carrier customers’ total telecommunication needs in
new and existing markets

Mobile phones have developed beyond simple voice communications and have become a sophisticated
multi-utility tool for consumers to enjoy and access a variety of services. We believe that the value
added services industry is rapidly evolving to provide rich and varied content and services for
subscribers. We intend to utilize our expertise to develop and launch innovative products and services
that will meet the evolving needs of the end-user subscribers for our carrier customers and enterprise

3
customers in our current markets, as well as market new products and services to new and existing
customers in India and internationally. We continue to focus on and invest in our development
activities to anticipate the needs of the growing subscriber market and continue to develop products and
services which match consumer preferences as well as foster cross-selling of services to these end-user
subscribers that our products and services reach.

Deepen our relationships with carrier customers

We intend to expand our geographic presence and market penetration in India. Based on our experience
serving as an integrated telecommunications solutions provider for some of our carrier customers who
want to rapidly and cost-effectively provide a broad range of telecommunications value added services
and products to their subscribers and create new revenue streams, we believe we have the leverage to
expand our domestic carrier customer base, becoming a value added service provider of choice. We
intend to increase our market share with existing customers by providing a broader range of services
and products to these customers, and also cross-marketing additional products, such as our roaming
solutions to our carrier customers. Furthermore, we intend to enhance our presence in enterprise
services by providing a broader range of services to our enterprise clients within India and overseas. In
order to develop and support these new customer relationships, we intend to upgrade and expand our
network of development, sales and support resources in potential growth markets and to enter into local
partnerships and distribution arrangements. We also intend to be present in all aspects of the value
added services chain, acting as a partner to our customers by managing the entire value added services
offering of our customers.

Build on our platforms

While we continue to innovate and launch value added services and products, we intend to focus on the
development of platforms on which various applications can be hosted, including hosting of third party
applications. We have developed a voice platform through mobile radio, which is a one-stop-shop for
music, comedy, sports and other such products, a roaming platform allowing a multitude of
applications for multiple carrier customers to take advantage of economies of scale and the breadth of
our product portfolio, and a service control point platform for offering a multitude of enhanced
Intelligent Network (IN) services, such as select caller list, call control and ‘follow me’. Our data
platform, Mitr, proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and accessing content and
services and a personalized customer experience. We continue to build platforms for new emerging
opportunities such as mobile marketing, mobile commerce and enterprise customer relationship
management.

Grow our technological capabilities and improve our product deployment

We have successfully tested and launched applications such as bulk outbound messaging (through our
enterprise solutions platform), select caller list, VAS on USSD, Pay4Me and missed call alerts through
voice and data technologies. With the evolution of the mobile phone beyond its basic call functionality,
we believe there are opportunities to offer products and services which enable merchants and
consumers to sell and purchase goods, mobile content and other products using the wireless handset as
a sales channel. Merchants will be able to leverage the increasing reach of telecommunications
networks by using products, such as outbound messaging, to access large and difficult to reach markets
in India.

We intend to leverage the mass customization capabilities of our value added software services
deployments with our carrier customers to bring to market advanced capabilities such as demand
aggregation and personalized one-to-one direct marketing. We believe that our experience in providing
telecommunications value added services and products for delivery to mobile users gives us a deep
understanding of subscriber behavior and use of value added products and services, which assists us in
formulating new products and services and improving existing products to enhance the user experience.

Strengthen our long-standing content sourcing relationships

Our current initiatives include providing channels for both user generated and media generated content.
We seek to develop one of the strongest content databases in India, cutting across genres and

4
languages. Since most of our products and services are dependent on the content we provide, our focus
is to create one of the largest digital and music databases in India. Currently, the major growth in
mobile telephony is from semi-urban and rural areas. With coverage expansion by the operators in
semi-urban and rural areas where there are few entertainment and information outlets other than
television, we expect there will be significant requirements for content focused on semi-urban and rural
populations, such as commodity market prices, commodity rates, weather information and education.
We intend to have online content in these areas through our partnerships with content providers.

Expand our operations into new enterprises and international markets

As the cellular subscriber base is growing, enterprises are using the mobile phone as a tool for customer
relationship management, mobile advertising and MCommerce. Examples of this growth are banks and
insurance companies using the mobile phones for banking transactions and due-date alerts. We intend
to focus on growing our enterprise customer base to expand and grow our business.

We also believe there is significant market growth potential in emerging telecommunications services
markets outside India. We have set up and own an office in Singapore to research the market in
Singapore and in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, we have a presence in Jordan where we provide
our telecommunication value added services and products. We intend to market existing products and
services and develop customized products and services within the Asia-Pacific region and further to
other parts of the world. We believe that with our strong technological, product innovation and
bandwidth handling capabilities, we can offer cost efficient, innovative and diverse range of products
and services internationally. We believe overseas markets, with potentially higher average revenues per
user, offer expansion and business growth opportunities with manageable increased costs. We are in the
process of evaluating markets such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and Africa.

Pursue selective strategic acquisitions and investments

We continually seek new growth and acquisition opportunities in our existing business lines as well as
related businesses to expand our geographic presence domestically and internationally, service
offerings, customer relationships and technological expertise. By selecting the opportunities for growth
and acquisition carefully and leveraging our transactional, project execution and operational skills, we
expect to continue to expand our business. We will pursue similar opportunities in other regions to
strengthen and grow our business, including investment in or acquisition of minority or majority stakes
in companies which support our business and product strategy.

SUMMARY OF INDUSTRY

Telecommunications and Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market Opportunity in India

The Indian telecommunications industry has experienced significant growth in recent years and is
expected to continue as India’s large population and low mobile penetration offer considerable scope
for growth. This growth has been highly visible in the mobile sector. India’s cellular market penetration
is estimated at approximately 20% as of 2007 and is projected to rise to approximately 61% by 2012, a
CAGR of 26.9%. Correspondingly, revenues from cellular services in India are projected to increase
from US$14 billion in 2007 to US$37 billion in 2012, an implied CAGR of 18.0% (Source: Gartner
Inc., Forecast: Mobile Services, Asia/Pacific, 2003-2012, Madhusudan Gupta and Nick Ingelbrecht, 3
June 2008 1). A more recent analysis by TRAI (no. 54, 2008) estimates the total wireless subscribers as
of April 2008 was 269.3 million.

The growth of telecom subscribers has led to the emergence of the Mobile Value Added Services
(MVAS) market. MVAS are those services that are not part of the basic voice offer and are availed
separately by the end user. They are used as a tool for differentiation and allow mobile operators to
develop another stream of revenue. The nature of value added services changes over time. For example,
P2P SMS was the only form of VAS in the early days of adoption of mobile telephony in India. Now
VAS includes data offerings such as games, music, video/TV, ringtones, graphics, information
services, contests and other. Data service revenue, (including SMS) was estimated to be approximately
US$1.5 billion in 2007 and growing to approximately US$5.6 billion in 2012, a CAGR of 26.3% for

Historically, the telecommunications sector was run by the Indian Government through the Ministry of
Telecommunications and Information Technology, Department of Telecommunications. The
liberalisation of this key sector began in the early 1990s with the realisation that in order to expedite
development of the infrastructure throughout India, wide scale investment was required and this could
not be fulfilled exclusively by public investment. Since early 1998, telecommunications services areas
have been opened up on a nationwide basis to competition and private sector participation. This
transition from a government-controlled monopoly to an industry with widespread private sector
participation, coupled with population growth and strong economic trends in recent years has been
instrumental in the telecommunications sector becoming one of the fastest growing sectors in India.

Book building refers to the process of collection of Bids from investors on the basis of the Red Herring

Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, after the Bid/Issue Closing Date. The principal
parties involved in the Book Building Process are:

17
(1) our Company;
(2) the Selling Shareholders;
(3) the BRLMs;
(4) Syndicate Members who are intermediaries registered with SEBI or registered as brokers with
BSE/NSE and eligible to act as underwriters. Syndicate Members are appointed by the
BRLMs;
(5) Registrar to the Issue; and
(6) Escrow Collection Banks.

The Equity Shares are being offered to the public through the 100% Book Building Process in
accordance with Rule 19(2)(b) of the SCRR and the SEBI Guidelines, wherein at least 60% of the Net
Issue shall be Allotted on a proportionate basis to QIBs, of which 5% shall be reserved for allocation
on a proportionate basis to Mutual Funds only. The remainder of the QIB Portion shall be available for
allocation on a proportionate basis to all QIBs, including Mutual Funds, subject to valid Bids being
received from them at or above the Issue Price. If at least 60% of the Net Issue cannot be Allotted to
QIBs, then the entire application money will be refunded forthwith. Further, not less than 10% of the
Net Issue shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Non-Institutional Bidders and not
less than 30% of the Net Issue shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Retail
Individual Bidders, subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price. Further, up to
100,000 Equity Shares shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to our Eligible
Employees, subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price.

Under the SEBI Guidelines, QIBs are not allowed to withdraw their Bids after the Bid/Issue
Closing Date. In addition, QIBs are required to pay the QIB Margin Amount, representing at
least 10% of the Bid Amount, upon submission of their Bids and allocation to QIBs will be on a
proportionate basis. For details, see the section “Issue Procedure” beginning on page 375.

Our Company and the Selling Shareholders will comply with the guidelines issued by SEBI in
connection with the Issue. In this regard, our Company has appointed Enam and Lehman as the Book
Running Lead Managers to manage the Issue and to procure subscriptions to the Issue.

The process of book building under the SEBI Guidelines is subject to change from time to time.
Investors are advised to make their own judgment about an investment through this process
prior to submitting a Bid in the Issue.

Steps to be taken by the Bidders for bidding:

• Check eligibility for making a Bid. See the section “Issue Procedure” beginning on page 375;
• Ensure that you have a demat account and the demat account details are correctly mentioned
in the Bid cum Application Form;
• Ensure that the Bid cum Application Form is duly completed as per the instructions given in
the Red Herring Prospectus and in the Bid cum Application Form; and
• Ensure that you have mentioned your PAN in the Bid cum Application Form (see the section
“Issue Procedure” beginning on page 375).
• Ensure the correctness of your demographic details (as defined in the section “Issue Procedure
– Bidder’s Depository Account and Bank Account Details” beginning on page 390), given in
the Bid cum Application Form, with the details recorded with your Depository Participant.

Illustration of Book Building Process and the Price Discovery Process

(Investors should note that the following is solely for the purpose of illustration and is not specific to
the Issue)

Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assuming a price band of Rs. 20 to
Rs. 24 per share, an issue size of 3,000 equity shares and receipt of five bids from bidders, details of
which are shown in the table below, the illustrative book would be as given below. A graphical
representation of the consolidated demand and price would be made available at the bidding centres
during the bidding period. The illustrative book as shown below indicates the demand for the shares of
the company at various prices and is collated from bids from various investors.

18
Bid Quantity Bid Price Cumulative equity shares Bid for Subscription
(Rs.)
500 24 500 16.67%
1,000 23 1,500 50.00%
1,500 22 3,000 100.00%
2,000 21 5,000 166.67%
2,500 20 7,500 250.00%

The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is
able to issue the desired number of shares is the price at which the book cuts off, i.e., Rs. 22 in the
above example. The issuer, in consultation with the book running lead managers, will finalise the
issue price at or below such cut-off, i.e., at or below Rs. 22. All bids at or above this issue price and
cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for allocation in the respective categories.

Withdrawal of the Issue

Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserve the right not to
proceed with the Issue at any time after the Bid/Issue Opening Date but before the Allotment, without
assigning any reason thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issue is also subject to obtaining the
final listing and trading approvals of the Stock Exchanges, which our Company shall apply for after
Allotment; and (ii) the final RoC approval of the Prospectus after it is filed with the RoC. Under the SEBI
Guidelines, QIBs are not allowed to withdraw their Bids after the Bid/Issue Closing Date.

Bidders are advised to submit their Bids one day prior to the Bid/Issue Closing Date and, in any case,
no later than 3.00 p.m (Indian Standard Time) on the Bid/Issue Closing Date. Bidders are cautioned
that in the event a large number of Bids are received on the Bid/Issue Closing Date, as is typically
experienced in public offerings, which may lead to some Bids not being uploaded due to lack of
sufficient time to upload, such Bids that cannot be uploaded will not be considered for allocation under
the Issue. Bids will only be accepted on Business Days.

On the Bid/Issue Closing Date, extension of time will be granted by the Stock Exchanges only for
uploading the Bids received by Retail Bidders after taking into account the total number of Bids
received upto the closure of timings for acceptance of Bid cum Application Forms as stated herein and
reported by the BRLMs to the Stock Exchange within half an hour of such closure.

Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserve the right to
revise the Price Band during the Bidding/Issue Period in accordance with the SEBI Guidelines,
provided that the Cap Price is less than or equal to 120% of the Floor Price. The Floor Price can be
revised up or down up to a maximum of 20% of the Floor Price disclosed in the Red Herring
Prospectus.

In case of revision in the Price Band, the Bidding/Issue Period shall be extended for three
additional Business Days after such revision, subject to the Bidding/Issue Period not exceeding
10 Business Days. Any revision in the Price Band, and the revised Bidding/Issue Period, shall be
widely disseminated by notification to the Stock Exchanges, by issuing a press release and also by

19
indicating the change on the websites of the BRLMs and the terminals of the Syndicate
Members.

Underwriting Agreement

After the determination of the Issue Price but prior to filing of the Prospectus with the RoC, our
Company and the Selling Shareholders intend to enter into an Underwriting Agreement with the
Underwriters for the Equity Shares proposed to be issued and sold in the Issue. Pursuant to the terms
of the Underwriting Agreement, the BRLMs shall be responsible for bringing in the amount devolved
in the event that the members of the Syndicate do not fulfill their underwriting obligations. Pursuant to
the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the obligations of the Underwriters are several and are
subject to certain conditions to closing, as specified therein.

The Underwriters have indicated their intention to underwrite the following number of Equity Shares:

Allocation among the Underwriters may not necessarily be in the proportion of their underwriting
commitments. Notwithstanding the above table, the BRLMs and the Syndicate Members shall be
responsible for ensuring payment with respect to the Equity Shares allocated to investors procured by
them. In the event of any default in payment, the respective Underwriter, in addition to other
obligations defined in the Underwriting Agreement, will also be required to procure/subscribe for
Equity Shares to the extent of the defaulted amount in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement.

QUALITATIVE FACTORS

Innovative platform based product development and diversity of products and services

We are continually engaged in the development of new products and services on our platforms to
enhance the product portfolio we offer to our telecommunications carrier customers and other
enterprises and bring new products and services to the market to address consumer needs and drive
demand. We focus on multi-modal platforms based on voice, text and data. Our mobile radio platform
gives subscribers the interactive option to access content on demand in the language of their choice
using their mobile phones. Given the demographic diversity of India, our platforms offer an efficient,
easy-to-use and attractive solution to our carrier customers for providing services to their subscribers.
The platform enables carriers to introduce better targeted, more innovative content based services. Our
data platform, Mitr, proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and accessing content and
services, giving the subscriber a personalized experience. We continue to invest in the growth of our
platforms to ensure that these are in tune with the requirements of our customers. In addition, we are
constantly refining our offerings to improve adoption of mobility-related products by consumers and
address pricing pressures. We provide a diverse portfolio of services, products and content, with a
focus on entertainment, information, music and games. We have introduced new services in India,
including tambola via mobile phone, BGM, VAS on USSD, Pay4Me and select caller list. For music,
entertainment and infotainment products, we have launched our BGM service, mobile radio and
ringtones; for call-related products, we have launched select caller VAS on USSD and Pay4Me; for
services and applications, we have launched user generated products such as voice chat; and we have
developed and launched innovative roaming solutions such as Welcome Roamer, Roam Tracker, Roam
Globe, Roam Secure and Roam Privilege. Our ability to offer a complete suite of products and services
allows our customers to offer a wide range of user interface services to their subscribers, resulting in
ease of market adoption, revenue growth, and higher subscriber satisfaction.

Entrenched customer relationships

All of the major telecommunications carriers in India form a part of our customer base, including
Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance, Vodafone, MTNL, Tata Teleservices Limited
and “Connect” & “Ping” of HFCL. We have successfully marketed our solutions to a multitude of
diverse telecommunication carriers customers. Service deployments with our customers involve
complex hardware systems and software applications deeply embedded within the customer’s core
network systems. Since the service deployment on our customers’ network is complex, our relationship
development personnel are stationed at our telecommunication carriers office, giving us the ability to
expand quickly and efficiently the range of services deployed and benefiting from the revenue growth
from their subscriber base.

Our presence and deep experience across the mobile industry value chain

Our experience in the mobile industry value chain provides us with valuable insight into the mobile
eco-system. Our association with Spice Communications has in the past provided us with enhanced and
expedited feedback on the ever-changing needs of end-user subscribers and their feedback has been
incorporated by our research and development team into new products and services. We believe
expedited feedback from the telecommunication carriers perspective gives us a time-to-market
advantage for development of new products and services. In addition, we have the capability of
managing the entire value added services segment which a telecommunications carrier customer

33
requires in providing value added services to its subscribers. Currently, we provide this management
service to Spice Communications. This managed services model benefits the carrier by reducing its
investment in the value added services segment and helps the launch of innovative data and multimedia
services quickly and efficiently.

Strong core technological capabilities

We have significant in-house resources and capabilities and a deep domain understanding in the areas
of voice, data, and signaling. In the past, this understanding has allowed our Company to build
technology intensive applications and products such as BGM (voice domain), mobile radio platform
(voice domain), USSD/SMSC (signaling domain) and services, such as call filter (enhanced IN
services) and Mitr. Our technology team works closely with the business teams and keeps a close
watch on the value added services environment worldwide. We have a sophisticated understanding of
the complexities of the operations of our carrier customers, which enables us to better address the
technological concerns involved in incorporating products and services into operators’ networks. We
were one of the first to develop products and services such as BGM, VAS on USDD, Select Caller List
and Pay4Me, resulting in revenue growth for our Company over the last few years.

Our diversified content database

Our music, entertainment and information based value added services and products are dependent on
the content we source, license, reformat and re-position. We have invested significant effort in growing
the necessary relationships and have forged alliances with more than 300 content owners and license
holders. We have a content database of more than 140,000 songs in more than 17 languages, as well as
logos, wallpaper and 12,000 ringtones in our content database, to cater to the needs of multicultural and
multilingual users in India. With our pan-India presence and a well diversified offering of value added
products and services, we provide relevant services in a convenient manner to our consumers in the
language of their choice. Hosting a gamut of content varieties, consisting of music, entertainment,
gaming, contesting and information based services, we facilitate continuous access to the content
required by our carrier customers.

2. Capital gains

In computing the capital gains arising on sale of a capital asset, the cost of acquisition/ improvement

Telecommunications and Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market Opportunity in India

The Indian telecommunications industry has experienced significant growth in recent years and is
expected to continue as India’s large population and low mobile penetration offer considerable scope
for growth. This growth has been highly visible in the mobile sector. India’s cellular market penetration
is estimated at approximately 20% as of 2007 and is projected to rise to approximately 61% by 2012, a
CAGR of 26.9%. Correspondingly, revenues from cellular services in India are projected to increase
from US$14 billion in 2007 to US$37 billion in 2012, an implied CAGR of 18.0% (Source: Gartner
Inc., Forecast: Mobile Services, Asia/Pacific, 2003-2012, Madhusudan Gupta and Nick Ingelbrecht, 3
June 2008). A more recent analysis by TRAI (no. 54, 2008) estimates the total wireless subscribers as
of April 2008 was 269.3 million.

The growth of telecom subscribers has led to the emergence of the Mobile Value Added Services
(MVAS) market. MVAS are those services that are not part of the basic voice offer and are availed
separately by the end user. They are used as a tool for differentiation and allow mobile operators to
develop another stream of revenue. The nature of value added services changes over time. For example,
P2P SMS was the only form of VAS in the early days of adoption of mobile telephony in India. Now
VAS includes data offerings such as games, music, video/TV, ringtones, graphics, information
services, contests and other. Data service revenue, (including SMS) was estimated to be approximately
US$1.5 billion in 2007 and growing to approximately US$5.6 billion in 2012, a CAGR of 26.3% for
the period 2008-2012 (Source: Gartner Inc., Forecast: Mobile Services, Asia/Pacific, 2003-2012,

Historically, the telecommunications sector was run by the Indian Government through the Ministry of
Telecommunications and Information Technology, Department of Telecommunications. The
liberalisation of this key sector began in the early 1990s with the realisation that in order to expedite
development of the infrastructure throughout India, wide scale investment was required and this could
not be fulfilled exclusively by public investment. Since early 1998, telecommunications services areas
have been opened up on a nationwide basis to competition and private sector participation. This
transition from a government-controlled monopoly to an industry with widespread private sector
participation, coupled with population growth and strong economic trends in recent years has been
instrumental in the telecommunications sector becoming one of the fastest growing sectors in India.

Comparative analysis versus China opportunity

Statistical data indicates that much of the growth in the Asia Pacific wireless telecommunication
market is due to the growth in demand in countries like India and China. China is currently the largest
market in Asia Pacific with 528 million connections accounting for 42.8% of the market share. As
India and China have comparable populations, India’s low mobile penetration offers considerable
scope for growth. Given below is the forecast for the mobile connections and services revenue in
China, from 2003 to 2012 (Source: Gartner Inc., Forecast: Mobile Services, Asia/Pacific, 2003-2012,

Mobile Value Added Services (“MVAS”) Industry Trends

Introduction

The Indian mobile telephony market has grown at a rapid pace in the past six to seven years. Declining
call tariffs in conjunction with favourable regulatory policies have led to a tremendous increase in the
subscriber base (Source: A Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market in India by
Boston Analytics (October 2007)). While the growing subscriber base has positively impacted industry
revenues (which have risen consistently over the past few years), operator margins also have shrunk,
pulling down Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”). As ARPU declines and voice gets commoditized,
the challenge in the industry is to retain customers, develop alternative revenue streams, and create a
basis for differentiation in high-churn markets. (Source: Emerging Markets: How to Make Big Margins
in the Mobile Telecoms,” December 2006). The charts below depict recent trends in ARPUs in India.

Trends in all India Monthly ARPU

48
(Source: “Future Mobile VAS in India” by Stanford University in conjunction with BDA Connect
Research, December 2007)

In the wake of recent industry trends, telecom operators are looking at MVAS as the next wave of
potential growth, and significant source of future revenues. MVAS services can enable customers to
play games, enter contests, read news, keep tabs on astrology predictions, conveniently book tickets,
make bill payments, choose roaming solutions, listen to music radio and even check their bank balance.
Market growth drivers on the supply side include declining ARPU, brand differentiation needs, and
increasing access to diverse content; demand-side drivers include the strong Indian economy,
increasing user comfort with basic mobility services, personalization of content and devices and the
increasing prevalence of more sophisticated handsets. From the early days of Person-to-Person Short
Message Service (“P2P SMS”), the industry has witnessed an emergence of a growing portfolio of
services including graphics or wallpapers downloads, ringtones and Caller Ring Back Tones
(“CRBT”), SMS contests and games.

VAS Contribution and Growth

In India, the total market size of VAS revenues was estimated to be USD $926 million in 2007, and
projected to reach US$2.7 billion by 2010, a CAGR of 44%. (Source: Future of Mobile VAS in India
by Stanford University in conjunction with BDA Connect Research, December 2007). Entertainment
MVAS is expected to drive the growth of the data services VAS market going forward with Video/TV
and games registering the highest growth rates among other segments in the near future.

Estimated growth in India’s VAS market and the breakdown of the usage of various services is
exhibited below:

(Source: Future of Mobile VAS in India by Stanford University in conjunction with BDA Connect Research,
December 2007)

As of December 2007, VAS services contributed approximately 7% of the total telecom revenue for
Indian telecom operators. In particular, non-voice revenues have been increasing since 2000. The

49
revenue growth is driven by SMS (including P2P, A2P, P2A), which contributed over 55% of total
VAS revenues in 2006. Over the last three years the percentage share of revenues coming from SMS is
on a decline as other services gain, with SMS, Ringtones/CRBT, and Voice VAS expected to continue
to be the highest revenue generating services in India. (Source: Future of Mobile VAS in India by
Stanford University in conjunction with BDA Connect Research, December 2007).

Voice Services

Voice VAS has historically generated higher revenues for operators as compared to data revenues due
to higher usage by subscribers, and also higher call charges (USD 0.15 per minute, or INR 6/7 per
minute for voice-based services as compared to USD 0.07/SMS or INR 3/SMS for text-based services
(Source: A Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market in India by Boston Analytics
(October 2007)). Higher usage of voice-based services is significantly being driven by IVRS,
particularly in rural India, due to a multilingual subscriber base and the relative ease of use of the voice
interactive system.

Data Services

Data services, consisting primarily of SMS (including P2P, A2P and P2A), games, enterprise services
and mobile commerce-oriented products are expected to see significant revenue growth in the future.

The impetus for growth in services is being driven primarily by the following factors:
Increasing consumer demand for value added services

Globally, there has been a trend towards consumers utilizing their phones for music, entertainment,
games and to obtain information. This has been driven by with the development and availability of
richer content through telecom networks as well as more sophisticated handsets which provide easy
user interfaces and will support delivery of the content and use of MVAS applications.

Increasing Comfort Levels with Basic Mobility Services

The Indian mobile telephony market has attained critical mass due to the increasing affordability of
mobile services, as well as the increasing comfort with basic mobility services. Most users are
comfortable with operating their mobile phones for basic voice services, and would progress into
demanding addition of more value beyond basic voice applications, driving the next phase of growth
(Source: A Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market in India by Boston Analytics
(October 2007)).

Certain Market Initiatives Contributing to Growth in MVAS

50
SMS Contests

Television is an integral part of the daily lives of average Indians. The proliferation of global television
channels has changed TV viewing from a passive activity to an interactive activity. Daily soaps, music,
and contest shows provide the option for viewers to participate through SMS. The popularity of
contests can be gauged from the fact that during November 2004–March 2005 “Indian Idol” (a singing
competition hosted by Sony Television) received over 55 million votes via SMS, amounting to a total
revenue of US$3.75 million (Rs. 165 million) at US$0.07/SMS (Rs. 3/SMS). Of this amount, telecom
companies earned US$2.61 million (Rs. 115 million), and Sony TV earned about US$1.14 million (Rs.
50 million). Further, a popular television game show “Kaun Banega Crorepati,” on Star Television,
generated 58 million SMSs over a period of three months. These shows have increased the familiarity
of low usage segments such as housewives and the senior population with SMS utilities (Source: A
Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market in India by Boston Analytics (October
2007)).

Music

Mobile music comprises ringtones, CRBTs, and music clips. Indians are known for their affinity for
music and movies. According to an official of Sony–BMG, approximately US$0.22–0.26 million (Rs.
10–12 million)—about 5% of an album’s sales—can be generated from mobile revenues. A popular
radio station, Radio Mirchi, receives approximately 40,000–50,000 SMSs daily with requests for songs
to be played on air. Saregama (an Indian music company) generates 50% of its revenues from ringtones
offered through its catalogue (Source: A Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market
in India by Boston Analytics (October 2007)).

Video/TV and Games

Services such as mobile TV/video, full-motion videos, wireless teleconferencing, multi-player online
games, and M-commerce. These services typically require high bandwidth and a superior level of
support technology than the currently available 2.5G. The introduction of 3G/4G in the near future is
therefore expected to facilitate a wider portfolio of MVAS available to mobile users. The video/TV and
games segment of the MVAS market are expected to register the highest CAGR during 2004–2009
(Source: A Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market in India by Boston Analytics
(October 2007)).

VAS Value Chain

The Indian VAS market remains fragmented with most VAS providers operating in niche segments.
However, the MVAS market in India has evolved into a complex eco-system with multiple entities
involved in the value chain as illustrated below, many with overlapping roles and functions.

51
(Source: A Study of the Mobile Value Added Services (MVAS) Market in India by Boston Analytics
(October 2007)

The increased importance of MVAS has also inspired content and application developers to constantly
innovate to produce new concepts and services. In addition, the respective roles of content aggregators,
software developers and technology enablers have expanded. Content/application owners develop or
own copyrighted content and applications such as songs, entertainment news, movies, games and
promotional media content. Aggregators bring together content and applications such as games,
wallpapers, ringtones and all other types of content, from owners and/or smaller boutiques to distribute
in accordance with customer needs. Aggregators may also manage IVR, billing, quality control and
accounting. Software developers may develop software on a for-hire basis or in-house, and develop
items such as security applications, games, and other applications for mobile VAS. Technology
enablers provide the platform for items such as ringtone downloads, games, streaming, audio and video
downloads, IVR and WAP for the telecom operators and create a bridge between aggregators and
operators and manage and maintain the platform and integrate the applications (Source: “Future Mobile

BUSINESS

Overview

Our Company is one of the leading providers of telecommunications value added products, services
and solutions in India. We provide a wide range of telecommunications value added services,
platforms, products and solutions to telecommunications carrier customers, subscribers of such carriers
and enterprises across India. As a value added services provider, we not only conceptualize products to
meet our customer needs, we source and aggregate content, provide the relevant platform for delivery
of our products and services and integrate these services with the core network elements of our carrier
customer. We have the ability to provide a comprehensive suite of value added products, services and
solutions across all key technology bearers. Our telecommunications products and services and
telecommunications solutions are delivered to subscribers of major telecommunications carriers in
India, including Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance, Vodafone, MTNL, Tata
Teleservices Limited and “Connect” & “Ping” of HFCL.

Our product portfolio includes music, information and entertainment based products and services (such
as mobile radio, BGM, CRBT, ringtone downloads, videos, contests, astrology, news, sports updates
and commodity rates), social networking products and services (such as voice chat), and call
management solutions (such as voicemail, voice SMS, select caller list, Pay4Me and missed call
alerts), all of which enable subscribers to personalize their mobile phones and enhance user experience.
Our products allow subscribers to access informational and entertainment content in more than 17
languages using IVRS speech-based navigation. Using our social networking platform, subscribers are
able to generate their own interactive content through messaging and conversations. We provide these
value added services and products through our carrier customers to mobile subscribers and enterprise
clients using IVRS, SMS, USSD, GPRS and WAP technology and delivery methods. Our applications
(other than GPRS) can be deployed on any network and accessed from most mobile handsets and fixed-
line devices. Many of our products and services can be accessed by subscribers using a variety of
delivery platforms, i.e., voice, SMS, USSD, GPRS, WAP and 3G network, thereby enabling us to
deploy our products and services across a majority of operators and networks.

We focus on multi-modal platforms based on voice, text and data. Our mobile radio platform gives
subscribers the interactive option to access content on demand in the language of their choice, using
their mobile phones. Given the demographic diversity of India, our platforms offer an efficient, easy-
to-use and attractive solution to our carrier customers for providing services to their subscribers. The
platform enables our carrier customers to introduce better targeted, more innovative content based
services. Our data platform, Mitr proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and
accessing content and services, giving the subscriber a personalized experience. Our delivery
infrastructure is deployed across most network circles of our carrier customers.

Our roaming solutions provide traffic flow information, enable network optimization and identify
network bottlenecks for our carrier customers. Subscribers benefit from real-time updates and better
coverage while roaming outside their regular network. Through our in-house research and development
team, we have developed roaming solutions such as Welcome Roamer, Roam Tracker, Roam Globe,
Roam Secure and Roam Privilege.

Our value added services and products provide a source of additional revenue to our carrier customers
with relatively insignificant capital expenditure. Our music, entertainment and information based value
added products and services are dependent on the content which we provide. We have alliances with a
number of content owners and license holders and licensed content is delivered to our carrier customers
through our delivery platforms. As of May 31, 2008, we had more than 140,000 songs in more than 17
languages, as well as logos, wallpaper and 12,000 ringtones in our content database to cater to the
needs of multicultural and multilingual subscribers in India.

Our consolidated income increased from Rs. 332.26 million in Fiscal 2006 to Rs. 686.80 million in
Fiscal 2007 and to Rs. 777.19 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. Our consolidated

54
profit after tax increased from Rs. 220.38 million in Fiscal 2006 to Rs. 410.50 million in Fiscal 2007
and to Rs. 330.68 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.

We were incorporated in India in April 2000. Our registered office is located in New Delhi, India. We
also maintain offices in Noida, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mohali, Hyderabad, Parwanoo and Mumbai and
have an overseas office in Singapore.

Our Competitive Strengths

The telecommunications services industry has grown exponentially in recent years as a result of India’s
expanding economy. Land-based telephone connections and services are inadequate for current
consumer needs and mobile phones are increasingly filling the growing demand. Competitive pressures
have also resulted in decreasing prices and declining average revenue per user in the Indian
telecommunications industry and telecommunications operators and service providers are increasingly
looking to additional services and products to support and grow their market share, revenues and
margins.

Innovative platform based product development and diversity of products and services

We are continually engaged in the development of new products and services on our platforms to
enhance the product portfolio we offer to our telecommunications carrier customers and other
enterprises and bring new products and services to the market to address consumer needs and drive
demand. We focus on multi-modal platforms based on voice, text and data. Our mobile radio platform
gives subscribers the interactive option to access content on demand in the language of their choice
using their mobile phones. Given the demographic diversity of India, our platforms offer an efficient,
easy-to-use and attractive solution to our carrier customers for providing services to their subscribers.
The platform enables carriers to introduce better targeted, more innovative content based services. Our
data platform, Mitr, proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and accessing content and
services, giving the subscriber a personalized experience. We continue to invest in the growth of our
platforms to ensure that these are in tune with the requirements of our customers. In addition, we are
constantly refining our offerings to improve adoption of mobility-related products by consumers and
address pricing pressures. We provide a diverse portfolio of services, products and content, with a
focus on entertainment, information, music and games. We have introduced new services in India,
including tambola via mobile phone, BGM, VAS on USSD, Pay4Me and select caller list. For music,
entertainment and infotainment products, we have launched our BGM service, mobile radio and
ringtones; for call-related products, we have launched select caller VAS on USSD and Pay4Me; for
services and applications, we have launched user generated products such as voice chat; and we have
developed and launched innovative roaming solutions such as Welcome Roamer, Roam Tracker, Roam
Globe, Roam Secure and Roam Privilege. Our ability to offer a complete suite of products and services
allows our customers to offer a wide range of user interface services to their subscribers, resulting in
ease of market adoption, revenue growth, and higher subscriber satisfaction.

Entrenched customer relationships

All of the major telecommunications carriers in India form a part of our customer base, including
Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance, Vodafone, MTNL, Tata Teleservices Limited
and “Connect” & “Ping” of HFCL. We have successfully marketed our solutions to a multitude of
diverse telecommunication carriers customers. Service deployments with our customers involve
complex hardware systems and software applications deeply embedded within the customer’s core
network systems. Since the service deployment on our customers’ network is complex, our relationship
development personnel are stationed at our telecommunication carriers office, giving us the ability to
expand quickly and efficiently the range of services deployed and benefiting from the revenue growth
from their subscriber base.

Our presence and deep experience across the mobile industry value chain

Our experience in the mobile industry value chain provides us with valuable insight into the mobile
eco-system. Our association with Spice Communications has in the past provided us with enhanced and
expedited feedback on the ever-changing needs of end-user subscribers and their feedback has been
incorporated by our research and development team into new products and services. We believe

55
expedited feedback from the telecommunication carriers perspective gives us a time-to-market
advantage for development of new products and services. In addition, we have the capability of
managing the entire value added services segment which a telecommunications carrier customer
requires in providing value added services to its subscribers. Currently, we provide this management
service to Spice Communications. This managed services model benefits the carrier by reducing its
investment in the value added services segment and helps the launch of innovative data and multimedia
services quickly and efficiently.

Strong core technological capabilities

We have significant in-house resources and capabilities and a deep domain understanding in the areas
of voice, data, and signaling. In the past, this understanding has allowed our Company to build
technology intensive applications and products such as BGM (voice domain), mobile radio platform
(voice domain), USSD/SMSC (signaling domain) and services, such as call filter (enhanced IN
services) and Mitr. Our technology team works closely with the business teams and keeps a close
watch on the value added services environment worldwide. We have a sophisticated understanding of
the complexities of the operations of our carrier customers, which enables us to better address the
technological concerns involved in incorporating products and services into operators’ networks. We
were one of the first to develop products and services such as BGM, VAS on USSD, Select Caller List
and Pay4Me, resulting in revenue growth for our Company over the last few years.

Our diversified content database

Our music, entertainment and information based value added services and products are dependent on
the content we source, license, reformat and re-position. We have invested significant effort in growing
the necessary relationships and have forged alliances with more than 300 content owners and license
holders. We have a content database of more than 140,000 songs in more than 17 languages, as well as
logos, wallpaper and 12,000 ringtones in our content database, to cater to the needs of multicultural and
multilingual users in India. With our pan-India presence and a well diversified offering of value added
products and services, we provide relevant services in a convenient manner to our consumers in the
language of their choice. Hosting a gamut of content varieties, consisting of music, entertainment,
gaming, contesting and information based services, we facilitate continuous access to the content
required by our carrier customers.

Experienced management and research and development team

Our senior management team has an average of, over 14 years of experience in the telecommunications
and technology industries with well-established companies. We have a research and development team
comprised of 128 members and have in the past created and nurtured innovative products and services
in the evolving mobile eco-system and building community brands across product and service verticals.
Our experienced senior management tea

m has been a primary contributor to our current status as a leading provider of telecommunications
value added services and products and solutions in India.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to be the preferred VAS business partner of telecommunications carriers and enterprise
clients. We strive to offer the most innovative platforms, products and services that can be accessed and
used by our carrier customers’ subscribers on mobile phones and by our enterprise clients, delivering
value added voice services, data transmission, mobile commerce and communications.

Provide innovative applications to fulfill our carrier customers’ total telecommunication needs in
new and existing markets

Mobile phones have developed beyond simple voice communications and have become a sophisticated
multi-utility tool for consumers to enjoy and access a variety of services. We believe that the value
added services industry is rapidly evolving to provide rich and varied content and services for
subscribers. We intend to utilize our expertise to develop and launch innovative products and services
that will meet the evolving needs of the end-user subscribers for our carrier customers and enterprise

56
customers in our current markets, as well as market new products and services to new and existing
customers in India and internationally. We continue to focus on and invest in our development
activities to anticipate the needs of the growing subscriber market and continue to develop products and
services which match consumer preferences as well as foster cross-selling of services to these end-user
subscribers that our products and services reach.

Deepen our relationships with carrier customers

We intend to expand our geographic presence and market penetration in India. Based on our experience
serving as an integrated telecommunications solutions provider for some of our carrier customers who
want to rapidly and cost-effectively provide a broad range of telecommunications value added services
and products to their subscribers and create new revenue streams, we believe we have the leverage to
expand our domestic carrier customer base, becoming a value added service provider of choice. We
intend to increase our market share with existing customers by providing a broader range of services
and products to these customers, and also cross-marketing additional products, such as our roaming
solutions to our carrier customers. Furthermore, we intend to enhance our presence in enterprise
services by providing a broader range of services to our enterprise clients within India and overseas. In
order to develop and support these new customer relationships, we intend to upgrade and expand our
network of development, sales and support resources in potential growth markets and to enter into local
partnerships and distribution arrangements. We also intend to be present in all aspects of the value
added services chain, acting as a partner to our customers by managing the entire value added services
offering of our customers.

Build on our platforms

While we continue to innovate and launch value added services and products, we intend to focus on the
development of platforms on which various applications can be hosted, including hosting of third party
applications. We have developed a voice platform through mobile radio, which is a one-stop-shop for
music, comedy, sports and other such products, a roaming platform allowing a multitude of
applications for multiple carrier customers to take advantage of economies of scale and the breadth of
our product portfolio, and a service control point platform for offering a multitude of enhanced
Intelligent Network (IN) services, such as select caller list, call control and ‘follow me’. Our data
platform, Mitr, proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and accessing content and
services and a personalized customer experience. We continue to build platforms for new emerging
opportunities such as mobile marketing, mobile commerce and enterprise customer relationship
management.

Grow our technological capabilities and improve our product deployment

We have successfully tested and launched applications such as bulk outbound messaging (through our
enterprise solutions platform), select caller list, VAS on USSD, Pay4Me and missed call alerts through
voice and data technologies. With the evolution of the mobile phone beyond its basic call functionality,
we believe there are opportunities to offer products and services which enable merchants and
consumers to sell and purchase goods, mobile content and other products using the wireless handset as
a sales channel. Merchants will be able to leverage the increasing reach of telecommunications
networks by using products, such as outbound messaging, to access large and difficult to reach markets
in India.

We intend to leverage the mass customization capabilities of our value added software services
deployments with our carrier customers to bring to market advanced capabilities such as demand
aggregation and personalized one-to-one direct marketing. We believe that our experience in providing
telecommunications value added services and products for delivery to mobile users gives us a deep
understanding of subscriber behavior and use of value added products and services, which assists us in
formulating new products and services and improving existing products to enhance the user experience.

Strengthen our long-standing content sourcing relationships

Our current initiatives include providing channels for both user generated and media generated content.
We seek to develop one of the strongest content databases in India, cutting across genres and

57
languages. Since most of our products and services are dependent on the content we provide, our focus
is to create one of the largest digital and music databases in India. Currently, the major growth in
mobile telephony is from semi-urban and rural areas. With coverage expansion by the operators in
semi-urban and rural areas where there are few entertainment and information outlets other than
television, we expect there will be significant requirements for content focused on semi-urban and rural
populations, such as commodity market prices, commodity rates, weather information and education.
We intend to have online content in these areas through our partnerships with content providers.

Expand our operations into new enterprises and international markets

As the cellular subscriber base is growing, enterprises are using the mobile phone as a tool for customer
relationship management, mobile advertising and MCommerce. Examples of this growth are banks and
insurance companies using the mobile phones for banking transactions and due-date alerts. We intend
to focus on growing our enterprise customer base to expand and grow our business.

We also believe there is significant market growth potential in emerging telecommunications services
markets outside India. We have set up and own an office in Singapore to research the market in
Singapore and in the Asia-Pacific region. In addition, we have a presence in Jordan where we provide
our telecommunication value added services and products. We intend to market existing products and
services and develop customized products and services within the Asia-Pacific region and further to
other parts of the world. We believe that with our strong technological, product innovation and
bandwidth handling capabilities, we can offer cost efficient, innovative and diverse range of products
and services internationally. We believe overseas markets, with potentially higher average revenues per
user, offer expansion and business growth opportunities with manageable increased costs. We are in the
process of evaluating markets such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and Africa.

Pursue selective strategic acquisitions and investments

We continually seek new growth and acquisition opportunities in our existing business lines as well as
related businesses to expand our geographic presence domestically and internationally, service
offerings, customer relationships and technological expertise. By selecting the opportunities for growth
and acquisition carefully and leveraging our transactional, project execution and operational skills, we
expect to continue to expand our business. We will pursue similar opportunities in other regions to
strengthen and grow our business, including investment in or acquisition of minority or majority stakes
in companies which support our business and product strategy.

59

background when the call is in progress. Subscribers can select music of their choice or any
other pre-recorded sound such as traffic noise for playing in the background during a call to
any number. We have applied for a patent for this application.

• CRBT. We have a CRBT platform where subscribers can choose ring back tones of their
choice and select it to be played for various callers. Our CRBT platform provides other special
features like time based caller songs and group caller songs. We also source CRBT content

unbranded content from local musicians. Our ringtone repository is updated regularly (usually
between a week to a month), to provide subscribers with the latest content. Our ringtone
application provides subscribers the option to download ringtones over voice, SMS, USSD,
GPRS and WAP and supports multiple carrier technologies, such as GSM and CDMA.

formats, conduct a post-contest analysis of the scores and manage the distribution of prizes to
winners of the contests. We also offer “Fastest Finger”, an interactive game where the
subscriber competes with other players to see who is the fastest to respond. Subscribers are
rewarded with prizes. In addition to having the prestige of being crowned the “ultimate
texter”, there is also the excitement of beating prior scores, the anticipation of waiting for the
next challenge and the chance to meet other people. Sponsors and advertisers can use the

devotional songs in multiple languages using voice. We provide content related to a variety of
religions around the world.

• Sports Updates. Our sports update application allows subscribers to receive live updates and

subscribers can browse other sports-related content and subscribe for scores updates. We
regularly update and archive our content to ensure that subscribers can access updates and
information even when a live event is not occurring.

• Rural Value Added Service. With mobile handsets becoming cheaper, subscribers in rural
markets have embraced mobile handsets to enhance their daily lives. The usage is primarily to

60
access commodity rates, agricultural product rates and weather related information through
SMS, IVRS and USSD.

 Commodity Rates. Given the significant percentage of the Indian population whose
livelihood is based on agriculture, we provide information on the latest market rates
of vegetables, seeds and grains in various regions across India. Subscribers simply
dial a preconfigured number to hear the current rates.

 Voice SMS. Our voice SMS application is a short messaging service that addresses
the limitations of conventional SMS messages such as character limitations and the
lack of support for vernacular languages by using voice instead of text. Our voice
SMS application provides flexibility to subscribers by supporting multiple languages
and enabling subscribers to customize the duration of their messages. Subscribers can

voice messages during non-peak hours and can customize the application to ensure

 Live Agent Value Added Service. This application provides subscribers an option to
talk directly to our live agents and request various value added service content links,

deliver the content to the subscriber’s mobile handset.

 USSD Value Added Service. We provide a unique USSD mechanism to subscribers to


view and request subscription based services, such as ring tones, select caller list,

can view value added service content through an online menu. The subscriber can

using speech, text and touch inputs with graphics, text and audio output. The content
discovery services which are supported by the platform in combination to the above
enrich the users experience and encourage users to use the offered service
extensively. The platform reduces the time to market for operators by enabling
network wide deployment of services and applications rapidly, supports all bearers
such as Voice, SMS, USSD, GPRS, WAP allowing the development of truly
converged applications which can work across wireline, 2G, 2.5G and 3G networks
and mobile handsets, enables mobile banking and payment applications for
subscribers allowing them to make banking transactions and make payments from
their mobile phones for their utility bills and other transactions, enables the delivery
of applications in multiple languages and supports the storage, classification and
management of content.

Call Management Value Added Service

61
• Select Caller List. Our select caller list product is a customized solution in which the
subscriber can select the calls to receive. This can be done by creating a list of callers whose
calls the subscriber wishes to receive and can also contain a similar list of callers whose calls
will get barred and automatically deferred to a voicemail or an automatic message. This
solution helps in barring spam or unwanted calls and preventing calls outside of the defined
list from going through if the subscriber is roaming. We have applied for a patent for this
application.

• Pay4Me/Collect Call. This product is useful for prepaid subscribers running out of credit in
their account. This service requires the called party to agree to pay for the calling party, which
is made possible by opening a number wherein outgoing barred subscribers can call and can
log their request to get connected to the other party, which will pay for the call. Pay4Me is
particularly convenient for calls between parents and children, emergency phone calls and
corporate calls. Even non-subscribers can use the Pay4Me code. Subscribers can also create a
list from whom the caller agrees to bear charges for every call made from a caller on that list.
A monthly subscription fee is charged from the subscribers for this service. We have applied
for a patent for this application in India.

• Voice Mail Service. Our voice mail service allows subscribers to handle their calls by an IVR
based assistant in cases when the mobile is switched off, out of coverage or other diverted
settings. The subscriber can receive, save, edit, forward, delete send or broadcast voicemail
messages. Other key features include the ability to stay connected, create customized
greetings, customer-oriented voicemail menu navigation and real-time call control.

• Missed Call Alert Service. Our missed call alert service is a customized service where a
subscriber can get missed call alerts when unable to take calls, and the caller receives an alert
when the subscriber is back on the network. As a result, subscribers stay connected even if
they are on another call, their mobile is switched off, they are out of their coverage area, or
they cannot pick up the call in time. Other key features are notification of the date and time of
multiple missed calls and notification of the number of missed calls from one calling number.
This service allows for subscribers’ mailboxes to be managed dynamically and is particularly
useful in countries where a majority of subscribers are pre-paid. Additionally, the service
enables subscribers to quickly access their voicemail as they have the option to navigate and
manage their voice mailbox using our speech technology.

• Device Manager. Device Manager is a solution which pushes GPRS/MMS settings over the
air to the mobile subscribers whenever requested or on other subscriber generated events, such
as a new handset. These settings configure the subscriber’s handset for accessing the data
services provided by the network operator. Once configured, the subscriber can connect to the
data network anytime and browse online.

• Smart Dial. Our smart dial service allows subscribers to send a request to the system to initiate
a call if another party’s number is busy or out of reach when the subscriber tried to speak the
first time. These calls are retried by the Smart Dial system and are patched on the consent of
both the parties, hence regenerating revenues that were actually lost.

• Call Conferencing. Our call conferencing service provides a ‘chatting’ environment to mobile
subscribers. Based on a conference feature of the network, multiple parties can have a joint
discussion at a specific time slot. The features of this service include custom entry/exit
announcements and defining the maximum number of parties in a conference.

• Excuse Me. This application provides the subscriber an option to auto-generate a call from the
system on their handsets providing an impression that a normal call has come in for the
subscriber. The subscriber can request an auto call through a very simple process of accessing
a USSD menu. After the request is received from the subscriber, the system generates an auto
call to the subscriber and the subscriber can use this excuse to move out of a gathering.

62
Services & Application Value Added Service

• Content Uploader. This utility provides subscribers an option to create a backup of the content
on their handsets such as phone book contacts, multimedia content such as videos and tones
and text messages to a central server. This content can be retrieved by the subscriber at any
time. This utility provides subscribers the option of retrieving content in situations where their
handset may be lost or damaged. Privacy for the uploaded content is maintained by allowing
access of the uploaded content only through a user name and password.

• Mobile Advertising and OBDs. We provide a platform to advertisers to advertise through


various mobile platforms including SMS, GPRS and IVRS. We also provide an option
wherein smaller P2P messages are appended with advertisements.

• Voice Chat. This is a community service which allows mobile subscribers to make friends
without revealing their own identities. Customers can dial in to an IVR short code and make
their own profile including age, likes and sex. They can also leave their own recording. The
system then intelligently searches for all the matching profiles and provides an option to the
subscriber to talk to those profiles. Also, the system makes the subscriber’s profile available to
all other users so they can also get in touch with the customer. The mobile number of the users
is not revealed to the other users and they know each other via chat identity numeric codes.

Mobile Commerce (MCommerce) Solutions

MCommerce is the ability to conduct commercial transactions using mobile phones. This solution
facilitates charging an amount to a mobile phone or a user by using certain MCommerce applications,
such as mobile banking, mobile bill payments, pre-paid recharge and mobile ticketing. This amount can
be charged to the mobile subscriber’s account, or to an alternative account such as a bank account or a
credit card account. Some of the commonly used MCommerce solutions include:

• Mobile Banking (MBanking). Banks and other financial institutions are extending banking
services using MCommerce to allow customers to not only access account information and
confirm transactions, but also enable subscribers to conduct financial transactions such as
purchase stocks, remit money and pay bills using their mobile phones.

• Pre-paid Recharge. Our pre-paid recharge solution allows carriers to offer subscribers the
option to top up directly their own or any other person’s mobile account using their mobile
phones at any time and anywhere using their credit cards and the airtime re-charge is sent
directly to the number specified.

• Mobile Bill Payments. Our mobile bill payment solution allows subscribers to pay their utility
bills conveniently using their mobile devices and allows a subscriber to navigate to a specific
utility company, check the outstanding bill and choose to make the required payment. This
facility can also be used by the utility company to alert the subscribers of the payment due
date and the outstanding amounts.

Enterprise Services

• SMS / Outbound Campaigns. Our outbound calling facility is designed to send out automated
messages about new promotions and offers on products and services to a specific list of
subscribers based on the target profile. Our enterprise solutions enable the advertiser or
corporate client or merchant to direct their marketing efforts to a target subscriber group based
on a pre-defined set of profile parameters set by the advertiser, and thereby helps the
advertiser to avoid wasting a significant portion of their advertising budget on non-target
subscribers due to the inability to profile the subscriber. Current outbound messaging clientele
sectors include consumer durables, airways, railways, automotive and financial institutions.

When our outbound dialing facility contacts a subscriber and the subscriber is connected, the
system becomes an interactive sales tool and information on a product or service can be
gathered or dispersed. Our solution can be customized so that outbound calls are only made to

63
subscribers who are not on roaming and to remember preferences from the previous calls,
such as choice of language.

• Lead Generation SMS Inbound Campaigns. Our inbound calling CRM solution is designed to
allow the subscriber to be in touch with the enterprise through a short code (5 digit number) or
a long code (10 digit number). subscribers can use inbound messaging for customer service
complaints and feedback, opinion polls, surveys, media-voting and electronic media.

Our enterprise service provides subscriber benefits, such as instant access to desired
information and a cheaper SMS. In addition, this service reduces call center cost and
promotional budgets for our carrier and enterprise customers.

• Mitr. Mitr, a mobile centric and content services platform, is a user friendly single mobile
interface that will deliver a host of attractive web based applications and provides a unified
framework for discovering and accessing content and services and a rich, personalized and
intuitive customer experience. The Mitr software enables any application written using the
Mitr software development kit to run on the mobile phone irrespective of the mobile phone
model or operating system. Mitr products consist of Mitr SDK (a software development kit
that enables rapid development of mobile applications), Mitr VM ( a virtual machine that
provides an execution environment for applications developed using Mitr SDK) and Mitr Mart
(a market place of all applications developed using Mitr SDK).

Roaming Solutions

• Welcome Roamer. Welcome Roamer is a combined monitoring and SMS delivery product that
gives a carrier customer visibility of subscribers who roam in the local network, as well as
subscribers from the local network roaming in any another network. The carrier customer can
use this information to issue a greeting SMS to the subscriber informing the roaming
subscriber of the services available in that network. It identifies the inbound and outbound
roamers by tapping a roaming link in real-time enabling the carrier customer to deliver
accurately targeted and personalized messages to the roaming subscriber.

• Roam Tracker. Roam Tracker helps carrier customers achieve increased revenue by
monitoring and managing the profitability of the carrier’s roaming business by providing
traffic flow information, enabling network dimensioning, capacity planning, as well as
allowing carrier customers to gain a better insight into subscriber behavior. This solution also
helps carrier customers in providing traffic flow information and identifying any network
glitches.

• Roam Globe. Carrier Customers find negotiating multiple roaming service agreements with
operators worldwide a time consuming and expensive process. Our Roam Globe service offers
carrier customers a quick route to enhanced international roaming, by building on the existing
roaming agreements of a host mobile network. Our solution works on the principle of dual
international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), which can be deployed as a standalone
application or as a bundled product. With Roam Globe, new carrier customers operators are in
a position to offer roaming services from inception without having to carry out bilateral
roaming negotiations with other operators.

• Roam Secure. Roam Secure allows carrier customers to retain inbound subscribers, assuring
revenue, network monitoring and customer loyalty, while providing access to the subscriber,
independent of the SIM card.

• Roam Privilege. Roam Privilege allows carrier customers to control the selection of roaming
networks, ensuring that out-roamer subscribers log onto a network of preferred operators. This
influences the selection of roaming networks according to pre-defined rules and criteria.
Carrier customers benefit from greater revenues, subscriber loyalty and wide accessibility.
The subscriber also benefits from easier access outside their network and from cost-effective
roaming.

Telecommunications Infrastructure Solutions

• Unstructured Supplementary Services Data (USSD). USSD is a GSM service that allows high
speed interactive communication between the subscribers and applications across a GSM
network. USSD requests are processed instantaneously in contrast to SMPP requests which
are stored for transmission on the SMSC. In addition, unlike SMS, which is a store-and-
forward technology, USSD is a session oriented protocol, thus reducing the turn around
response time for interactive applications as compared to SMS. As a result, USSD allows for
larger transmissions of information in real-time, such as ringtones, picture messages, news
flashes, sports updates, account balance inquiries and call histories.

• Short Message Service (SMS). SMS messages are an alternative to voice communication over
the telephone when silent, private, or very brief communications are best. Since they are
somewhat non-traditional, SMS messages have an element of playfulness that often
encourages creativity, and subscribers can find this novelty addictive. SMS messages can be
sent between users or to and from an application, which gives service development an extra
flexibility that encourages innovation.

• Short Message Service Center (SMSC). SMSC is an open system architecture which allows
easy integration with various network elements. We offer an innovative load-sharing option,
where the mobile switching centre shares the load for several SMSC units. This enables a
server cluster to be seen as a single large SMSC by the carrier customers thus providing an
opportunity of easy and fast scaling of SMSC capacity by adding server units. The features of
our SMSC include:

 Message Priority: Allows setting of message priority levels to enable customization


of message deliveries as in high, medium or low.

 Validity Period Definition: Enables customization of time period after which


undelivered messages will be deleted from the queue.

 Alert Based Retry: Provides an inbuilt mechanism which entails automatic attempt of
retrying message delivery in the event of an alert message of non-delivery of the
SMS.

 Configured Retry Intervals: Allows customization of intervals at which undelivered


messages would be retried for delivery.

 Scheduled Delivery: Offers a feature of scheduled delivery through which messages


are delivered based on scheduled date/time rather than immediate delivery.

 SMS Forwarding: Enables a subscriber to forward the SMS to an email id.

 Message Tracking and Logging: Offers database based logging features to track
status of message delivery at any point of time.

• General Packet Radio Service (GPRS). GPRS is the world's most ubiquitous wireless data
service, available with almost every GSM network. GPRS is a connectivity solution based on
Internet Protocols that supports a wide range of enterprise and consumer applications. GPRS
subscribers enjoy advanced, feature-rich data services such as internet browsing, e-mail on the
move, powerful visual communications such as video streaming, multimedia messages and
location-based services.

• Outbound Dialer (OBD). OBD is an important mechanism for selling value added service.
The system generates an auto call and provides pre-recorded information to the subscriber
about the value added service once the subscriber picks up that call. The subscriber is given an
option to subscribe for that particular value added service immediately through DTMF input.
Our OBD supports special features such as Do Not Disturb (DND) filter, and online
subscription of service requests received via OBDs.

65
Our Customers

As of May 31, 2008, we had a diverse carrier customer base of more than 60 customers across a variety
of industries. Our major customers include Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance,
Vodafone, MTNL, Tata Teleservices Limited, HFCL, Route SMS, SMS Junction, Nazara, Pinnacle
Media, People Infocom Private Limited, Eastern Power Distribution Company, Axis Convergence
Private Limited and ACL Wireless.

Customer Contracts

Most of our carrier customer contracts are on a revenue sharing basis pursuant to which we receive a
fixed percentage of the net revenue generated by our products and services for our customers, thus
providing a recurring revenue stream for us. These contracts are typically master contracts which allow
our new products and services to be quickly deployed under the contracts’ existing terms and
conditions without the need to enter into and negotiate a new contract. However, under our enterprise
client contracts we get paid for each SMS successfully delivered or not delivered to the end users,
based on the volume of SMSs that are sent per month.

Under most of our carrier customer contracts, we have agreed to indemnify our customers against loss
or damage arising from our breach of contract, including for the infringement of intellectual property
rights in respect of the content that we have sourced and aggregated from third party content providers.
Under certain of our enterprise client contracts we typically agree to indemnify these customers against
loss or damage for any infringement of intellectual property rights and any violation of laws or
regulations of any governmental, regulatory or judicial authority arising from the performance of
obligations under the contract. In such enterprise client contracts the enterprise clients further
indemnify us from any liability from the contents of the SMS.

Our contracts with our carrier customers are typically on a non-exclusive basis. While some of our
contracts have terms varying between one to three years, which are subject to an annual review in case
of renewal, others are typically valid until termination. Our customer contracts also allow either party
to terminate the contract for specific reasons, including for a breach of a material term or condition that
is not rectified within a specified cure period. Either party is also allowed to terminate the contract
without cause by giving written notice of between 30 to 90 days and without termination-related
penalties.

Content Database

Our applications are dependent on our ability to source and provide content to fulfill subscriber needs
and interests. We source content through licensing contracts with content developers and content
aggregators and re-position such content at our end. Our licensing contracts with content providers are
usually for a term of one year which is renewable by mutual consent and generally contain a provision
that the content provider will indemnify us against any third party claim for infringement of intellectual
property rights in respect of the content sourced by them.

Music based services and products claim a significant share of the Indian value added services market,
including CRBT and ring tones. With 140,000 music tracks, we are a significant provider in the mobile
entertainment space in India. We cover 17 regional languages across bollywood, regional, devotional
and international music. These songs are accessible via various services, such as ring-tone download,
CRBT, BGM and full song streaming and cut across 25 diverse file formats. Music contributes a
majority of the revenue on content based services and products provided by us.

Apart from music and entertainment, we have also diversified the reach of our content across visual,
gaming, contesting and infotainment genres. We partner with international gaming houses and have
access to over 3,000 gaming titles catering to our mobile internet enabled subscribers.

Since most of the products and services are dependent on the content we provide, our focus is to create
one of the largest digital and mobile ready music databases in India. Currently, the major growth in
mobile telephony is from semi-urban and rural areas. With coverage expansion by the our carrier
customers in semi-urban and rural areas where there are few entertainment and information outlets

66
other than television, we believe there will be high demand for content focused on semi-urban and rural
population, such as commodity market rates and education. We intend to have online content in these
areas through our partnerships with content providers.

Sales, Marketing and Business Development

In order to cater to our carrier customers, enterprise clients and other opportunities, we have equipped
ourselves with a sales and marketing structure to work on carefully identified focus areas for each
team. We have structured our sales/marketing and business development structure as follows:

• Product Marketing – Our product marketing group owns the products once launched,
maximizing the revenues and managing the product life cycle.

• Business Development and Pre Sales – This team focuses on new customer acquisitions and
pitching new products and applications to the existing carrier customers.

• Sales – Sales team focuses on maximizing revenues from the live products and services. This
team is also responsible for maintaining relationship with the carrier and other customers at
local levels.

Since the service deployment on our carrier customers’ network is complex, our relationship
development personnel is stationed at our carrier customers office, helping us to expand quickly and
efficiently the range of services deployed and growing revenue from their subscriber base. Our sales,
marketing and business development team is responsible for the development of strategic distribution
partnerships, alliances and direct sales, including contract negotiations. As of May 31, 2008, we had
over 100 employees working in our sales, marketing and business development team, all of whom are
permanent employees.

Competition

The telecommunication value added services industry is fragmented, nascent and highly competitive
and is characterized by frequent introductions of new solutions and products, evolving wireless
platforms and new and improved technologies. However, we believe we compete effectively because
of our track record, the sophistication of our technology, products and platforms, our proven ability to
consistently deliver new innovative products, our operational expertise and project execution, our
insight into the subscriber market, demand and preferences, the technology and systems which we have
installed and integrated in our carrier customers’ infrastructure, our service level commitments and due
to our established relationships with carrier customers. We believe that OnMobile and Bharti Telesoft
are our biggest competitors in certain aspect of the services and products we offer.

Intellectual Property

Our success depends in large part on our proprietary technology and know-how. We rely primarily on a
combination of trade secrets and copyright laws and restrictions on access to protect our trade secrets
and proprietary rights. We have also applied for 11 patents with the Indian Patents Office. We
distribute our software products under license agreements, which grants customers a non-exclusive
license to use the software and contain terms and conditions prohibiting its unauthorized reproduction
or transfer. In addition, we enter into confidentiality agreements with our carrier customers when we
disclose proprietary information to them. We also enter into confidentiality agreements and deeds of
relinquishment with our employees and consultants.

As of May 31, 2008, we have one registered trademark. Our trademark and logo “Cellebrum” is
registered with the Trademarks Registry in Delhi, India. We have recently filed an application to
register a new logo for “Cellebrum”. As of May 31, 2008, we have applied to register 16 other
trademarks with the Trademarks Registry in India. As of May 31, 2008, we have also filed 11 patent
applications with the Indian Patents Office.

As of May 31, 2008, we have 19 registered copyrights and two pending applications with the Registrar
of Copyrights.

67
Technology and Product Development

We follow a product development process which allows the launch of a product and services in an
expeditious yet controlled manner, after careful market research and conceptual tests. Once we receive
market and end-user feedback through our carrier customers, we develop products and services which
are initially tested within our R&D facility located at Parwanoo, wherein we have sophisticated
equipments replicating a mobile network in which we can test all aspects of our products’ operational
feasibility, which help stimulate the real mobile networks. Once the offerings are refined and suitably
established, we then propose introduction of the offering with our carrier customers. Our ability to test
the offerings in our R&D facility provides valuable and direct insight into consumer needs, adoption,
preferences and price-points, which are all important in making the offerings successful and managing
the uncertainties of new product and services development.

We have multiple teams focusing on conceptualizing, architecting, implementing, testing, delivering,


securing and maintaining our platform, products and services. These include our R&D, information
technology, quality assurance, configuration management and delivery teams. As of May 31, 2008, we
had 186 employees working in our R&D, information technology, quality assurance, configuration
management and delivery teams.

We have a dedicated team of technology experts to explore new technology and develop value added
services and products. To date, we have developed numerous value added services applications
including BGM, select caller list, Pay4Me, my music, call conferencing and voice mail. We have filed
for 11 patents in India as a result of our research and development efforts.

Employees

We have a strong focus on recruitment, training and retention of our employees. As of 31 May, 2008,
we had a total of 372 permanent employees. We have 58 employees on our operations and deployment
team, 113 employees on our sales, marketing and business development team, 128 employees on our
R&D team and 73 employees in our finance and administration department.

We continuously review and deliver effective training programs on smart hiring process, provide
strategic oversight to business units in their recruitment efforts, and successfully promote our business
to potential new hires. By building our brand presence in the market, we intend to identify, attract and
train skilled personnel across all our business segments. For our existing employees, we encourage
rewards and recognition programs, training and development to continuously improve overall
employee caliber.

Our employees are not unionized and we have never experienced any work stoppages. We believe that
our employee relations are good.

Insurance

We maintain standard insurance policies for our physical assets and our employees as required by
applicable laws and regulations.

Properties

Our registered office is located at D-4, Okhla Industrial Estate, Phase –I, New Delhi, India. We also
maintain offices in Noida, Kolkata, Bangalore, Mohali, Hyderabad, Parwanoo and Mumbai and have
an overseas office in Singapore to cater to our international business. We lease most of our office space
under various lease agreements, subject to renewal by mutual consent. We own our office space in
Singapore.

We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current requirements and that additional
space can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms to meet our future requirements.

REGULATIONS AND POLICIES

The following description is a summary of the relevant regulations and policies as prescribed by the
GOI, state governments, certain international treaties and conventions to which India is a signatory.
The information detailed in this chapter has been obtained from the various legislations, international
treaties and conventions..

Intellectual Property

Our intellectual property includes our registered intellectual property rights, including patents and
patent applications made by us in relation to various inventive products and processes and registered, as
well as unregistered rights in intellectual property including copyrights in relation to software. The
salient features of the legal regime governing the acquisition and protection of intellectual property in
India are briefly outlined below. For further details on the above, see the section “Business” beginning
on page 54.

Patent Protection

The Patents Act, 1970 (“Patents Act”) is the primary legislation governing patent protection in India.

In addition to broadly requiring that an invention satisfy the requirements of novelty, utility and non
obviousness in order for it to avail patent protection, the Patents Act further provides that patent
protection may not be granted to certain specified types of inventions and materials even if they satisfy
the above criteria. The tern of a patent granted under the Patents Act is for a period of twenty years
from the date of filing of application for the patent.

The Patents Act deems that computer programmes per se are not ‘inventions’ and are therefore not
entitled to patent protection. This position was diluted by the the Patents Amendment Ordinance, 2004
which included as patentable subject matter:
a) Technical applications of computer programs to industry; and
b) Combinations of computer programs with the hardware.

However, the Patents Amendment Act, 2005 does not include this specific amendment and
consequently, the Patents Act, as it currently stands, disentitles computer programs per se from patent
protection.

The public use or publication of an invention prior to the making of an application for a patent, may
disentitle the said invention to patent protection on grounds of lack of novelty. Under the Patents Act,
an invention will be regarded as having censed to be novel (and hence unpatentable), inter alia, by the
existence of:

i. any earlier patent on such invention in any country;


ii. prior publication of information relating to such invention;
iii. an earlier product showing the same invention; or
iv. a prior disclosure or use of the invention that is sought to be patented

For details in relation to the risks arising from the above position see the section “Risk Factors”
beginning on page x.

Following its amendment by the Patents Amendment Act, 2005, the Patents Act permits opposition to
grant of a patent to be made, both pre-grant and post—grant. The grounds for such patent opposition
proceedings, inter alia, include lack of novelty, inventiveness and industrial applicability, non-
disclosure or incorrect mention of source and geographical origin of biological material used in the
invention and anticipation of invention by knowledge (oral or otherwise) available within any local or
indigenous community in India or elsewhere.

The Patents Act also prohibits any person resident in India from applying for patent for an invention
outside India without making an application for the invention in India. Following a patent application
in India, a resident must wait for six weeks prior to making a foreign application or may obtain the

69
written permission of the Controller of Patents to make foreign applications prior to this six week
period. The Controller of Patents is required to obtain the prior consent of the Government before
granting any such permission in respect of inventions relevant for defense purpose or atomic energy.

This prohibition on foreign applications does not apply, however, to an invention for which a patent
application has first been filed in a country outside India by a person resident outside India.

International Patent Protection Mechanisms

The extent of patent protection granted by any national patent law is limited to the jurisdiction of the
country of registration of the said patent. Therefore, the protection of patents on an international scale
ordinarily requires that patent applications be filed and granted in multiple jurisdictions. In order to
avoid multiplicity of applications, mechanisms under various international treaties have evolved
providing for the effective filing of simultaneous patent applications in multiple jurisdictions by filing
of a single international application. The Patent Co-operation Treaty, 1970, (“PCT”) creates one such
mechanism whereby filing an application under the treaty results in the effective filing of a separate
application in each of several designated countries under the PCT.

An application under the PCT is processed in two phases:

a. an international phase wherein an international application is filed in the International Bureau;


and
b. a national phase consisting of the conversion of the application into national patent
applications in designated countries.

A PCT application may be filed by a national or resident of a state which is a signatory to the PCT at
the patent office of such state at the WIPO International Bureau. At the filing stage, the applicant
indicates those contracting states in which he wishes his application to form an effective filing. Upon
filing, the invention, which is claimed under the application, is selected to an “international search”
which is carried out by an International Searching Authority identified by the patent filing office. In the
event that the international search results in any evidence of prior art, which resembles the claim being
searched for, the applicant has the option to either withdraw his application, or defend the claim at the
national level with each national patent office. If the application is not withdrawn, it is published in the
International Bureau along with the international search report and communicated to the patent office
in each designated country. Subsequently, upon the applicant electing to do so, patent applications are
submitted to the national phase wherein the claimed invention is examined by the national patent
offices of the designated countries for grant of the patent.

Another international treaty governing international patent protection is the Paris Convention for the
Protection of Industrial Property, 1883, which requires its member countries to guarantee to the citizens
of the other countries the same rights in patent and trademark matters that it gives to its own citizens.
Further, in case of patent filings in multiple jurisdictions, this treaty grants a right of priority to the
applicant which means that the applicant who has filed an application in any contracting states, may
apply for protection in any other contracting states within 12 months and claim priority over other
applications which have been filed by other applicants during the said 12 month period.

Copyright Protection

The Copyright Act, 1957 (“Copyright Act”) governs copyright protection in India. Under the
Copyright Act, copyright may subsist in original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works,
cinematograph films, and sound recordings. Software, both in source and object code, constitutes a
literary work under Indian law and is afforded copyright protection. Following the issuance of the
International Copyright Order, 1999, subject to certain exceptions, the provisions of the Copyright Act
apply to nationals of all member states of the World Trade Organisation.

While copyright registration is not a prerequisite for acquiring or enforcing a copyright in an otherwise
copyrightable work, registration constitutes prima fade evidence of the particulars entered therein and
creates a rebuttable presumption favoring the ownership of the copyright by the registered owner.
Copyright registration may expedite infringement proceedings and reduce delay caused due to

70
evidentiary considerations. Once registered, copyright protection of a work lasts for a 60-year period
following the death of the author.

Reproduction of a copyrighted work for sale or hire, issuing of copies to the public, performance or
exhibition in public, making a translation of the work, making an adaptation of the work and making a
cinematograph film of the work without consent of the owner of copyright are all acts which expressly
amount to an infringement of copyright. With respect to computer software, in addition to the above,
any unauthorised sale and commercial rental of software also amount to infringement of copyright. The
Copyright Act also prescribes certain fair use exceptions which permit certain acts which are otherwise
considered copyright infringement. In respect of computer software, these fair use exceptions would
include:

a) the making of copies or adaptations of a computer program by the lawful possessor of a copy
of such computer program in order that it may be utilised for the purposes for which it was
supplied;
b) the right of the lawful possessor to obtain any other essential information for interoperability
of an independently created computer program, if that information is not otherwise readily
available;
c) the observation, study, or test of functioning of the computer program in order to determine the
ideas and principle which underline any elements of the program while performing such acts
necessary for the functions for which the computer program is supplied; and
d) the making of copies or adapting the computer program from a personal legally obtained copy
for any non-commercial personal use.

The remedies available in the event of infringement of copyright under the Copyright Act include civil
proceedings for damages, account of profits, injunction and the delivery of the infringing copies to the
copyright owner.

The Copyright Act also provides for criminal remedies including imprisonment of the accused and the
imposition of tines and seizures of infringing copies. A third set of remedies are administrative or quasi
judicial remedies which are prosecuted before the Registrar of Copyright to ban the import of
infringing copies into India and the confiscation of infringing copies.

Trademarks

The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (the “Trade Marks Act”) governs the statutory protection of trademarks
in India. In India, trademarks enjoy protection under both statutory and common law.

Indian trademarks’ law permits the registration of trademarks for goods and services. Certification
trademarks and collective marks are also registrable under the Trade Marks Act.

An application for trademark registration may be made by any person claiming to be the proprietor of a
trademark and can be made on the basis of either current use or intention to use a trademark in the
future. The registration of certain types of trade marks are absolutely prohibited, including trademarks
that are not distinctive and which indicate the kind or quality of the goods.

Applications for a trademark registration may be made for in one or more international classes. Once
granted, trademark registration is valid for 10 years unless cancelled. If not renewed after 10 years, the
mark lapses and the registration for such mark has to be obtained afresh.

While both registered and unregistered trademarks are protected under Indian law, the registration of
trademarks offers significant advantages to the registered owner, particularly with respect to proving
infringement. Registered trademarks may be protected by means of an action for infringement, whereas
unregistered trademarks may only be protected by means of the common law remedy of passing off. In
case of the latter, the plaintiff must, prior to proving passing off, first prove that he is the owner of the
trademark concerned In contrast, the owner of a registered trademark is prima facie regarded as the
owner of the mark by virtue of the registration obtained.

71
Trade Secrets and Confidential Information

In India, trade secrets and confidential information enjoy no special statutory protection and are
protected under Common Law.

Labour laws

There are various legislations in India which have defined ‘employee’ and ‘workman’ based on factors
which inter a/ia include nature of work and remuneration. People who come under the definition of
workman or employee are entitled to various statutory benefits including gratuity, bonus, retirement
benefits and insurance protection.

Termination of the employment of a non-workman is governed by the terms of the relevant


employment contract As regards a ‘workman’, the IDA sets out certain requirements in relation to the
termination of services. These include a detailed procedure prescribed for resolution of disputes with
labour, removal and certain financial obligations upon retrenchment. The applicability of such laws
depends on the number of workers employed and their monthly remuneration.

Shops and Commercial Establishments Legislation

The conditions of service of employees of IT companies are regulated, inter a/ia, by the relevant shops
and establishments law.

Employees State Insurance Act, 1948

The Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 provides for certain benefits to employees in case of
sickness, maternity and employment injury. All employees in establishments covered by the
Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 are required to be insured, with an obligation imposed on the
employer to make certain contributions in relation thereto. In addition, the employer is also required to
register itself under the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 and maintain prescribed records and
registers.

Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972

The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 provides for payment of gratuity to employees employed in
factories, shops and other establishments who have put in a continuous service of five years, in the
event of their superannuation, retirement, resignation, death or disablement due to accidents or
diseases. The rule of five year continuous service’ is however relaxed in case of death or disablement
of an employee. Gratuity is calculated at the rate of 15 days wages for every completed year of service
with the employer. Presently, an employer is obliged for a maximum gratuity payout of Rs. 350,000 for
an employee.

Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.

The Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 provides for the institution of
compulsory provident fund, pension fund and deposit linked insurance funds for the benefit of
employees in factories and other establishments. A liability is placed both on the employer and the
employee to make certain contributions to the funds mentioned above.

The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961

The purpose of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 is to regulate the employment of pregnant women and
to ensure that they get paid leave for a specified period during and after their pregnancy. It provides,
inter alia, for payment of maternity benefits, medical bonus and enacts prohibitions on dismissal,
reduction of wages paid to pregnant women, etc.

The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1979

72
The purpose of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 is to regulate the
employment and protect the interests of labourers who are hired on the basis of individual contracts. In
the event that any aspect of the activity is outsourced and is carried out by labourers hired on a
contractual basis, then compliance with the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 will
also be necessary.

The Telecom Unsolicited Commercial Communications Regulations, 2007 (as amended on the
March 17, 2008)

TRAI has introduced the Telecom Unsolicited Commercial Communications Regulations, 2007
(“Regulations”) to curb unsolicited telemarketing communications, thereby reducing the nuisance and
inconvenience to subscribers. TRAI has set up the NDNC registry, which is operational since October,
2007 for this purpose.

The Regulations aim at balancing the right to privacy of the subscriber and the rights to freedom of
speech and profession of the telemarketing industry. TRAI has therefore set out an ‘opt-out approach’
where a subscriber has an option of opting out of receiving the UCC. All service providers have to
maintain a “Private Do Not Call List” of the subscribers who request non-reception of the UCC. This
list is then subsequently uploaded on to a NDNC registry. The telemarketers undertake to not make
UCC to any subscriber registered on the NDNC registry, failing which disconnection of connection
may be a possibility. Further, UCC made to other subscribers, who have not requested non-reception of
the UCC, has to be prefixed with a message informing the subscriber of the UCC and to approach the
service provider if it is unwanted. All these services, above mentioned, are provided free of charge to
the subscribers under the Regulations.

The service provider has an obligation to incorporate the registration of a subscriber into the NDNC
registry within 30 days of such a request. If the subscriber after 45 days from the day of his request still
receives the UCC, he can file a complaint with his service provider. The complaint is then forwarded to
the originating service provider who shall charge the tariff from the telemarketer, which is Rs. 500 for
each UCC and Rs. 1,000 for every subsequent UCC. The connection of the telemarketer shall also be
disconnected if he has made an UCC even after one UCC has been charged as above.

The 2008 amendment to the Regulations provides for a detailed procedure for conducting an inquiry by
a committee consisting of three officers, not below the rank of ‘Advisor’ in the TRAI, for violation of
certain provisions of the Regulations. Chapter IVA specifically laid down the payment that was needed
to be made by service providers violating the Regulations by way of financial disincentive not
exceeding Rs. 5,000 for the first non-compliance and Rs, 20,000 for subsequent non-compliance(s).
Any decision made by the TRAI in this respect may be appealed to the Telecom Disputes Settlement
and Appellate Tribunal.

Registration of Other Service Providers (“OSPs”)

19, 2000, as amended from time to time in pursuance of Section 11 of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India Act, 1992;

2. We have examined such restated financial information taking into consideration:

3. Such restated financial information has been compiled by the management from:

a) the audited unconsolidated balance sheets of the Company as at December 31, 2007, March
31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and December 31, 2003 and the related audited unconsolidated profit

The restated financial information of the Company as at and for the year ended March 31,
2006, fifteen months period ended March 31, 2005 and year ended December 31, 2003 has
been examined by Gupta Garg & Agrawal. Accordingly, we have placed reliance on the
restated financial information examined and reported upon by Gupta Garg & Agrawal for the
said years / periods and have not carried out any additional procedures thereon.

b) the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and Mobisoc Technology Private
Limited (the ‘subsidiary’) (collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Group”) as at December
31, 2007 and March 31, 2007 and the related audited consolidated profit and loss accounts and
cash flow statements for the nine months period ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended
March 31, 2007. We have not audited the financial statements of the subsidiary of the
Company as at and for the nine months period ended December 31, 2007 and year ended
March 31, 2007; those financial statements have been audited by Gupta Garg & Agrawal,
Chartered Accountants and our opinion, in so far as it relates to amounts included for the

4. This report is being issued for the purpose of incorporating the same in the Offer Document to be
issued by Cellebrum Technologies Limited in connection with the proposed offer of issue of fresh
equity shares by the Company.

5. In accordance with the requirements of Schedule II of the Act, the SEBI Guidelines and the terms
of our engagement agreed with you, we report that :

a) We have examined the restated unconsolidated summary statement of assets and liabilities of
the Company as at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007 and the related restated
unconsolidated summary statement of profits and losses and cash flows for the nine months
period ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended March 31, 2007 and the notes thereon
(these statements hereinafter are collectively referred to as the “Restated Current
Unconsolidated Summary Statements”)

b) Gupta Garg & Agrawal, the immediate previous auditors of the Company, have examined the
restated unconsolidated summary statement of assets and liabilities of the Company as at
March 31, 2006, 2005 and December 31, 2003 and the related restated unconsolidated
summary statement of profits and losses and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2006,
fifteen months period ended March 31, 2005 and year ended December 31, 2003 (these
restated unconsolidated summary statements of assets and liabilities, profits and losses and
cash flows and the notes thereon, as examined and reported upon by Gupta Garg & Agrawal,
hereinafter are collectively referred to as “Restated Prior Years Unconsolidated Summary
Statements”). The report dated June 26, 2008 submitted by them is attached herewith;

The Restated Current Unconsolidated Summary Statements and the Restated Prior Years
Unconsolidated Summary Statements are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Restated
Unconsolidated Summary Statements” and are attached as Annexures I to IV to this report.

c) We have also examined the restated consolidated summary statement of assets and liabilities
of the Group as at December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007 and the related restated
consolidated summary statement of profits and losses and cash flows for the nine months
period ended December 31, 2007 and the year ended March 31, 2007 and the notes thereon
(these statements hereinafter are collectively referred to as the “Restated Consolidated
Summary Statements”)

The Restated Consolidated Summary Statements are attached as Annexures XVI to XIX to
this report.

167
6. a) Without qualifying our opinion and as further elaborated in Note F (i) appearing in Annexure-
IV to Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Note E (l) (i) appearing in
Annexure- XIX to Restated Consolidated Summary Statements, we draw attention to the fact
that for the purpose of these Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated
Consolidated Summary Statements, the changes in estimates of useful lives of fixed assets
have not been restated as the management believes that such changes in estimates of useful
lives of fixed assets were bonafide and occasioned by technical / environmental factors and
hence do not require restatement. Accordingly, the impact of such changes in accounting
estimates has not been considered as an adjustment item for the purpose of the restatement of
all the other years/ periods presented.

b) Without qualifying our opinion and as further elaborated in Note F (ii) appearing in Annexure-
IV to Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Note E (l) (ii) appearing in
Annexure- XIX to Restated Consolidated Summary Statements, we draw attention to the fact
that for the purpose of these Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated
Consolidated Summary Statements, due to practical difficulties in retrospective application of
Accounting Standard (“AS”) 15, the Company has adopted the revised AS 15 on ‘Employee
Benefits’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) effective April 1 ,
2007. Accordingly, the impact of the revised AS 15 has not been considered as an adjustment
item for the purpose of the restatement of all the other years/ periods presented.

c) Without qualifying our opinion and as further elaborated in Note F (iii) appearing in Annexure-
IV to Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Note E (l) (iii) appearing in
Annexure- XIX to Restated Consolidated Summary Statements, we draw attention to the fact
that for the purpose of these Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated
Consolidated Summary Statements, due to practical difficulties in retrospective application of
the notified Accounting Standard (‘AS’) 11 which is mandatory from the accounting periods
commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the Company has adopted the AS 11 on ‘The
Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ notified under the Companies (Accounting
Standard) Rules, 2006 effective April 1, 2007. Accordingly, the impact of revised AS 11 has
not been considered as an adjustment item for the purpose of the restatement of all the other
years/ periods presented. In our opinion, the impact of such adjustment will not be material in
relation to the Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated Consolidated
Summary Statements.

7. Based on our examination and also as per the reliance placed on the report dated June 26, 2008
submitted by Gupta Garg & Agrawal as referred in paragraph 5 above, we further report that the
restated unconsolidated and consolidated profits and losses have been arrived at:

a) after making such adjustments and regroupings as, in our opinion, are appropriate and more
fully described in the notes appearing in Annexure IV and Annexure XIX to Restated
Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated Consolidated Summary Statements
respectively;

b) after incorporating the impact of changes in accounting policies adopted by the Company and
the Group as at and for the nine months period ended December 31, 2007, which have been
adjusted with retrospective effect in the Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements and
Restated Consolidated Statements respectively, except to the extent stated in 6 (b) and (c)
above;

c) after making adjustments for the material amounts relating to prior years in the Restated
Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated Consolidated Summary Statements in the

168
There are no extraordinary items which need to be disclosed separately in the Restated
Unconsolidated Summary Statements and Restated Consolidated Summary Statements.

2007. Accordingly, we express no opinion on the financial position, results of operations or cash
flows of the Company or the Group as of any date or for any period subsequent to December 31,

B. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of Financial
Statements as at and for the nine-months period ended December 31, 2007

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with the Notified Accounting Standards by
the Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis. The accounting policies have
been consistently applied by the Company except for the changes in accounting policy discussed more fully in (C) below,
are consistent with those used in the previous years / periods.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although
these estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from
these estimates.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Cost comprises the purchase
price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.
Insurance spares / stand by equipments are capitalized as part of mother assets.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method as per the useful lives of the assets estimated by the management,
or at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies Act, 1956 whichever is higher as under:

Tangible Assets Rates (SLM) (in %) Schedule XIV Rates


(SLM) (in %)
Buildings 3.34 3.34
Data Processing Machines 31.67 16.21
Furniture & Fixtures 13.57 6.33
Office Equipment
Mobile phones 31.67 4.75
Others 13.57 4.75

182
Vehicles
Motor Cars 9.50 9.50
Motor buses 13.57 11.31

Cost of Leasehold improvements is amortized over the period of lease or their useful lives whichever is lower.

Individual assets costing upto Rs.5,000/- are depreciated fully in the month of purchase.

Insurance spares / standby equipments are depreciated prospectively over the remaining useful lives of the respective
mother assets.

Intangibles

Intangibles assets acquired from outside are amortized using the Straight Line Method over their estimated useful lives as
follows:

Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Life (Years)


Computer Software 3 years

ii) Costs incurred towards development of computer software products meant for sale, lease or otherwise marketed, are
capitalized subsequent to establishing technical feasibility. Capitalization ceases when the product is available for general
release to customers. Capitalized software product costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis. The amortization
shall be greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of
current and anticipated future gross revenues for that product or (b) straight line method over the remaining estimated useful
life of the product. The unamortized cost of Capitalized software products is carried at cost, less accumulated amortization
less impairment, if any.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any indication of impairment based on
internal / external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital.

After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

Leases

Where the Company is the lessee

Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the leased term, are
classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account on a
straight-line basis over the lease term.

Where the Company is the lessor

Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account on
a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation are recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss
Account. Initial direct costs such as legal costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss
Account.

Investments

Investments that are readily realizable and intended to be held for not more than a year are classified as current investments.
All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value
determined on an individual investment basis. Long term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution
in value is made to recognize a decline other than temporary in the value of such investments.

Inventories

Inventories are valued as follows:

Traded goods At Cost or Net Realizable Value, whichever is lower. Cost is


determined on FIFO basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

183
Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue
can be reliably measured.

Rendering of Services

Service revenue is recognized at the end of each month in which the services are rendered. Service revenue includes income
on value added services, revenue from roaming management services and providing mobile content.

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which
coincides with their delivery to the customer.

Interest

Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the rate applicable.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign currency transactions

Initial Recognition

Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the
exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

Conversion

Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items which are carried in terms of
historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange Differences
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting Company’s monetary items at rates
different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are
recognized as income or as expenses in the year in which they arise. Exchange differences arising in respect of fixed assets
acquired from outside India on or before accounting period commencing after December 7, 2006 are capitalized as a part of
fixed asset.

Translation of Integral foreign operation

The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have
been those of the Company itself.

Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are charged to the
Profit and Loss Account of the year when the contributions to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations
other than the contribution payable to the statutory authorities.

Retirement Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation. The Company has taken insurance policy under the Group Gratuity
Scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover the gratuity liability of the employees and the premium
paid/payable to LIC, in respect of the present value for liability of past services is charged to the Profit and Loss account
every year. Also, the difference between amount paid/payable to LIC and the actuarial valuation on projected unit credit
method made at the end of each financial year is charged to the Profit and Loss account.

Short term compensated absences are provided for on based on estimates. Long term compensated absences are provided
for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit method.

Actuarial gains / losses are immediately taken to profit and loss account and are not deferred.

Income Taxes

Tax expense comprises of current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current income tax and fringe benefit tax is measured at
the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the Indian Income Tax Act. Deferred income taxes

184
reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and
reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income
will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the company has unabsorbed
depreciation or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by
convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits.

At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises unrecognised deferred
tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future
taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The company writes-down the carrying
amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down
is reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future
taxable income will be available.

MAT credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the company will pay
normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes
eligible to be recognized as an asset in accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss account and
shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying
amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will
pay normal Income Tax during the specified period.

Earning per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.

Provisions

A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event and it is probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions
are not discounted to its present value and are determined based on best management estimate required to settle the
obligation at the balance sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
management estimates.

Segment Reporting Policies

Identification of segments

The analysis of geographical segments is based on the geographical location of the customers.

Cash and Cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.

C. Changes in Accounting Policies

(i) Change in the method of providing Depreciation

The Company was following Straight Line Method of providing depreciation on fixed assets upto the financial year
ended December 2003 and Written Down Value method for the fifteen months period ended March 31, 2005 and
year ended March 31, 2006. During the financial year ended March 31, 2007, the Company changed, with
retrospective effect, its method of providing depreciation on fixed assets, other than leasehold buildings, from the
Written Down Value (‘WDV’) method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956 to the
Straight Line Method (‘SLM’) at the rates which are higher of the useful lives of assets and the rates prescribed in
Schedule XIV to the Companies Act, 1956.

185
As a result of this change, the charge to the Profit and Loss Account before taxation for the year ended March 31,
2007 was lower by Rs. 25.60 million and the net block of fixed assets was correspondingly higher by the same
amount. The effect of such change in accounting policy has been appropriately adjusted in the years/ periods to
which it pertains [refer Note E (h) below].

(ii) Change in the method of accounting for Earned Leaves

The Company changed its accounting policy during the year ended March 31, 2007 and accounted for the liability
for employees’ earned leaves based on actuarial valuation as at the end of the year in line with Accounting Standard
15 issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. Till the year ended March 31, 2006, leave liability was
accounted for based on actual amount payable as per current encashable salary as at the end of the year. As a result
of this change, the accumulated liability of earned leaves was higher and the profit for the year ended March 31,
2007 was lower by Rs. 3.10 million. The effect of such change in accounting policy has been appropriately adjusted
in the years/ periods to which it pertains [refer Note E (i) below].

(iii) Adoption of Accounting Standard AS 15 (Revised) Employee Benefits

Till the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company was providing for gratuity based on actuarial valuation as per LIC
certificate and leave benefits based on actuarial valuation. During the period ended December 31, 2007, the
Company has adopted Accounting Standard 15 (Revised) which is mandatory for accounting periods commencing
on or after December 7, 2006. Accordingly the Company has provided for gratuity based on actuarial valuation done
as per projected unit credit method. Also, the Company has changed the method of providing short-term leave
benefits from actuarial valuation to estimate basis. As a result, actuarial valuation of leave liability and gratuity
liability as at April 1, 2007 is higher by Rs. 5.11 million (net of tax of Rs. 0.65 million) which, in accordance with
the transitional provision in the revised accounting standard, has been adjusted to the General Reserve.

(iv) Adoption of Accounting Standard 11 ‘The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’

As per the requirements of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 read in consonance with notified
Accounting Standard 11 which is mandatory for the accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006,
the exchange differences on foreign currency transactions relating to fixed assets acquired from a country outside
India have been adjusted to revenue as against the hitherto followed practice of adjusting the same to the carrying
amount of fixed assets. As a result, net exchange gain of Rs 0.53 million which otherwise would have been
adjusted against the carrying amount of fixed assets, has been credited to the Profit and Loss Account during the
period ended December 31, 2007 and thus the profit before tax for the nine-months period ended December 31,
2007 is higher by the same amount.

D. Material Regroupings

Appropriate adjustments have been made in the Restated Summary Statements of Assets and Liabilities, Profits and
Losses and Cash Flows, wherever required, by a reclassification of the corresponding items of income, expenses,
assets, liabilities and cash flows, in order to bring them in line with the groupings as per the audited financials of the
Company for the nine months period ended December 31, 2007.

(i) The Company has changed the estimates of useful lives of some of its fixed assets during the year ended
March 31, 2007 and the period ended December 31, 2007, more fully described in Note No. 11 below.
The management believes that such change in estimated useful lives is bonafide and occasioned by
technical/ environmental factors and hence should not be restated in previous periods/ years financials, as
restated.

(ii) The Company has adopted revised Accounting Standard 15 on Employee Benefits issued by the Institute
of Chartered Accountants of India effective April 1, 2007. However, due to practical difficulties in
retrospective application of the same, it has not been possible for the management to determine the effect
on the profits for the year ended December 31, 2003, fifteen-months period ended March 31, 2005, and
years ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 as if the revised Standard had been adopted by the Company for
each of those years/periods. Accordingly, such adjustment has not been made in the attached
unconsolidated restated summary statements.

(iii) As per the requirements of Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 read in consonance with
notified Accounting Standard 11 which is mandatory for the accounting periods commencing on or after

188
December 7, 2006, the exchange differences on foreign currency transactions relating to fixed assets
acquired from a country outside India have been adjusted to revenue as against the hitherto followed
practice of adjusting the same to the carrying amount of fixed assets. However, due to practical
difficulties in retrospective application of the same, it has not been possible for the management to
determine the effect of such change on the financial statements of earlier years / periods. Accordingly,
such adjustment has not been made in the attached unconsolidated restated summary statements. The
impact of such adjustment will not be material in relation to the Restated Unconsolidated Summary
Statements.

8. Accounting Standard “ AS 22 “ “Taxes on Income “ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, had
become mandatory from the financial year ended December 31, 2003. As required by the Accounting Standard, the
Company, at the beginning of that year, recognized deferred tax assets of Rs. 4.46 million on its carried forward
unabsorbed depreciation of Rs. 8.61 million and business losses of Rs. 3.82 million and carried it to General
Reserves of that year in terms of the transitional provisions of the said Standard. Deferred tax liabilities for the year
ended December 31, 2003 amounting to Rs.1.53 million were adjusted against the above deferred tax assets.

9. During the financial year ended March 31, 2006, the Company had increased its authorised share capital from Rs.
20.01 million divided into 2,001,000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each to Rs. 120.01 million divided into 12,001,000
equity shares of Rs. 10 each pursuant to the ordinary resolution passed in its Extra Ordinary General Meeting of
shareholders held on January 30, 2006.

10. During the financial year ended March 31, 2006, the Company had issued 10,000,110 bonus shares by capitalising
its profits, in the ratio of 5:1 pursuant to the resolution passed in its Extra Ordinary General Meeting of shareholders
held on January 30, 2006.

11. During the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company reassessed the estimates of useful lives of Data Processing
Machines and Computer Software as 3 years (as against the hitherto followed practice of depreciating the same over
a period of 6 years) and provided depreciation on the same based on the revised estimates of their economic useful
lives. As a result of this change, the charge to the Profit and Loss Account before taxation for the year ended March
31, 2007 was higher by Rs. 25.89 million and the net block of fixed assets was correspondingly lower by the same
amount.

Further, during the period ended December 31, 2007, the Company has reassessed the estimates of useful lives of
Furniture-Fixtures, Office Equipments & Vehicles, as 7 years (as against the hitherto followed practice of
depreciating the same over a period of 15 years, 20 years and 8.4 years respectively) and provided depreciation on
the same based on the revised estimates of their economic useful lives. As a result of this change, the charge to the
Profit and Loss Account before taxation for the period ended December 31, 2007 was higher by Rs. 1.59 million and

193
the net block of fixed assets was correspondingly lower by the same amount.

12. The Company has obtained expert opinions stating that the two units set up at Parwanoo, Himachal Pradesh, would
be eligible for income tax benefits under Section 80-IC of the Income Tax Act, 1961, resulting in deduction of 100%
of profits and gains of such units for the first five assessment years commencing with the initial assessment year and
thereafter thirty per cent of the profits and gains for the next five years. Income tax provision has been made in the
books of account accordingly.

13. The asset of Rs. 56.39 million recognised by the Company as ‘MAT Credit Entitlement’ in respect of the MAT
payment during the year ended March 31, 2006 and 2007 and period ended December 31, 2007 and shown under
‘Loans and Advances’ represents that portion of MAT liability, which can be recovered and set off in subsequent
years based on the provisions of Section 115JAA of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The management based on the
present trend of profitability and also the future profitability projections, is of the view that there would be sufficient
taxable income in foreseeable future, which will enable the Company to utilize MAT credit assets.

14. Previous Year Comparatives

The Company was following calendar year as its accounting year till December 31, 2003. However, the Company
changed its statutory accounting year to end on March 31, 2005 instead of December 31, 2004 and thus accounts
were prepared for the fifteen months ended March 31, 2005. The Company continued to follow the financial year as
its statutory year for the years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007. Further, the Company has again changed
its statutory year to end on December 31, 2007 instead of March 31, 2008. Accordingly, the restated unconsolidated
summary statements have been made for the year ended December 31, 2003, fifteen months period ended March 31,
2005, years ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2007 and nine months period ended December 31, 2007.

15. Change of Name

Subsequent to the Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements as at December 31, 2007, the Company got itself
converted into a public limited Company and consequently, the name of the Company was changed from

name of Company was again changed from ‘Cellebrum.com Limited’ to ‘Cellebrum Technologies Limited’ with

Ratios have been computed as per the following formulae

Earnings per share (Rs.) = Net Profit after Tax, as restated attributable to equity shareholders
Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year/ period

Return on Net Worth (%) = Net Profit after Tax, as restated


Net Worth, as restated, at the end of the year/ period

Net Asset Value (NAV) per share (Rs.)= Net Worth, as restated, at the end of the year
Number of equity shares outstanding at the end of year/ period

1. Weighted average number of equity shares is the number of equity shares outstanding at the
beginning of the year/ period, adjusted by the number of equity shares issued during the year/
period multiplied by the time - weighting factor. The time weighting factor is the number of days
for which the specific shares are outstanding as a proportion of the total number of days during the
year/ period.
2. Net profit, as appearing in the statement of profit and loss of the respective years/ periods, has been
considered for the purpose of computing the above ratios.
3. Earnings per share calculations are done in accordance with Accounting Standard 20 "Earnings per
Share" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. In terms of para 24 of AS-20, in
case of a bonus issue, the number of equity shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the
proportionate change in the number of equity shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the
beginning of the earliest period reported. Weighted average number of equity shares outstanding
during all the previous years/ periods have been considered accordingly.
4. Net worth means Equity Share capital + Reserves and Surplus (including Securities Premium) -
Miscellaneous Expenditure not written off or adjusted.

205
5. These ratios are computed on the basis of Unconsolidated Summary Statements, as restated of
Cellebrum Technologies Limited (formerly Cellebrum.com Private Limited).

Guidelines, 2000 (“the SEBI Guidelines”) issued by SEBI on January 19, 2000, as amended
from time to time, except to the extent stated in Note F (i), (ii) and (iii) below.

B. Statement of Significant Accounting Policies adopted in the preparation of Consolidated


Financial

Statements as at and for the nine-months period ended December 31, 2007

a) Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared to comply in all material respects with
the Notified Accounting Standards by the Companies Accounting Standards Rules, 2006 and the
relevant provisions of the Companies Act, 1956. The restated consolidated financial statements
have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on an accrual basis except in case of
assets for which provision for impairment is made and revaluation is carried out. The accounting
policies have been consistently applied by the Group and except for the changes in accounting
policy discussed more fully in (C) below, are consistent with those used in the previous year.

b) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements relate to Cellebrum Technologies Limited (formerly


Cellebrum.com Private Limited) (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiary
(hereinafter collectively referred to as ‘the Group’). In the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements, investment in subsidiary has been accounted for in accordance with
Accounting Standard (AS) 21 (Consolidated Financial Statements) as notified by Companies
Accounting Standard Rules, 2006. The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the
following basis:-

(i) Subsidiary company is consolidated on a line-by-line basis by adding together the book
values of the like items of assets, liabilities, income and expenses after eliminating all
significant intra-group balances and intra-group transactions and also unrealized profits or

237
losses, except where cost cannot be recovered. The results of operations of a subsidiary are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which the parent
subsidiary relationship came into existence.

(ii) Minorities’ interest in net profits of the consolidated subsidiary for the period is identified
and adjusted against the income in order to arrive at the net income attributable to the
shareholders of the Group. Their share of net assets is identified and presented in the
consolidated balance sheet separately. Where accumulated losses attributable to the
minorities are in excess of their equity, in the absence of the contractual obligation on the
minorities, the same is accounted for by the holding company.

(iii) As far as possible, the consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform
accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances and are
presented, to the extent possible, in the same manner as the Company's stand alone financial
statements. Differences in accounting policies are disclosed separately.

(iv) The financial statements of the subsidiary used for the purpose of consolidation are drawn up
to the same reporting date as that of the Company i.e. the nine months period ended
December 31, 2007.

c) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the results of operations during the reporting period end. Although these
estimates are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual
results could differ from these estimates.

d) Fixed Assets
i) Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.
Cost comprises the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its
working condition for its intended use.

ii) Insurance spares / stand by equipments are capitalized as part of mother assets.

e) Depreciation
i) Depreciation is provided using the Straight Line Method (‘SLM’) as per the useful lives of
the assets estimated by the management, or at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of
the Companies Act, 1956 whichever is higher as under:

Tangible Assets Rates (SLM) (in %) Schedule XIV Rates


(SLM) (in %)
Buildings 3.34 3.34
Data Processing Machines 31.67 16.21
Furniture & Fixtures 13.57 6.33
Office Equipment
- Mobile phones 31.67 4.75
- Others 13.57 4.75
Vehicles
- Motor Cars 9.50 9.50
- Motor buses 13.57 11.31

ii) Cost of Leasehold improvements is amortized over the period of lease or their useful lives
whichever is lower.

iii) Individual assets costing upto Rs.5,000/- are depreciated fully in the month of purchase.

238
iv) Insurance spares / standby equipments are depreciated prospectively over the remaining
useful lives of the respective mother assets.

f) Intangibles
i) Intangibles assets acquired from outside are amortized using the Straight Line Method over
their estimated useful lives as follows:

Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Life (Years)


Computer Software 3 years

ii) Costs incurred towards development of computer software products meant for sale, lease
or otherwise marketed, are capitalized subsequent to establishing technical feasibility.
Capitalization ceases when the product is available for general release to customers.
Capitalized software product costs are amortized on a product-by-product basis. The
amortization shall be greater of the amount computed using (a) the ratio that current gross
revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated future gross revenues for
that product or (b) straight line method over the remaining estimated useful life of the
product. The unamortized cost of Capitalized software products is carried at cost, less
accumulated amortization less impairment, if any.

g) Impairment

i) The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date if there is any
indication of impairment based on internal / external factors. An impairment loss is
recognized wherever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the greater of the asset’s net selling price and value in use. In
assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
at the weighted average cost of capital.

ii) After impairment, depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over
its remaining useful life.

h) Leases

Where the Company is the lessee


Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of
the leased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an
expense in the Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Where the Company is the lessor


Assets subject to operating leases are included in fixed assets. Lease income is recognised in the
Profit and Loss Account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including depreciation
are recognised as an expense in the Profit and Loss Account. Initial direct costs such as legal
costs, brokerage costs, etc. are recognised immediately in the Profit and Loss Account.

i) Inventories

Inventories are valued as follows:

Traded goods At Cost or Net Realizable Value, whichever is lower. Cost


is determined on FIFO basis.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated
costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

j) Revenue Recognition

239
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the
Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Rendering of Services

Service revenue is recognized at the end of each month in which the services are rendered.
Service revenue for the Company includes income on value added services, revenue from
roaming management services and providing mobile content. Service Revenue for the Subsidiary
includes income from management and support services in the field of telecommunication
technology.

Sale of goods

Revenue is recognized when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have
passed to the buyer, which coincides with their delivery to the customer.

Interest

Revenue is recognized on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and
the rate applicable.

k) Foreign Currency Translation


Foreign currency transactions
i) Initial Recognition
Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign
currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at
the date of the transaction.

ii) Conversion
Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items which
are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

iii) Exchange Differences


Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting Company’s
monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the year,
or reported in previous financial statements, are recognized as income or as expenses in the year
in which they arise. Exchange differences arising in respect of fixed assets acquired from outside
India on or before accounting period commencing after December 7, 2006 are capitalized as a
part of fixed asset.

iv) Translation of Integral foreign operation


The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are translated as if the transactions of
the foreign operation have been those of the Company itself.

l) Retirement and other employee benefits


i) Retirement benefit in the form of Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the
contributions are charged to the Profit and Loss Account of the year when the contributions
to the respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than the contribution
payable to the statutory authorities.

ii) Retirement Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation. The Company has taken insurance
policy under the Group Gratuity Scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to
cover the gratuity liability of the employees and the premium paid/payable to LIC, in
respect of the present value for liability of past services is charged to the Profit and Loss
account every year. Also, the difference between amount paid/payable to LIC and the

240
actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each financial year is
charged to the Profit and Loss account.

iii) Short term compensated absences are provided for on based on estimates. Long term
compensated absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation at the end of each
financial year. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected unit credit method.

iv) Actuarial gains / losses are immediately taken to profit and loss account and are not
deferred.

m) Income Taxes

Tax expense comprises of current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current income tax and fringe
benefit tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance
with the Indian Income Tax Act. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing
differences between taxable income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing
differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted
at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is
reasonable certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation
or carry forward tax losses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty
supported by convincing evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits.

At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It
recognises unrecognised deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become reasonably certain or
virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The
Company writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no
longer reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is
reversed to the extent that it becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be,
that sufficient future taxable income will be available.

MAT credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence
that the Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which
the Minimum Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognized as an asset in
accordance with the recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by the Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India, the said asset is created by way of a credit to the profit and loss
account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at each balance
sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent there is
no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax
during the specified period.

n) Miscellaneous Expenditure

Miscellaneous expenditure of the subsidiary is written off in the first year of commencement of
commercial operations.

o) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable
to equity shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the period
attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
the period are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

241
p) Provisions
A provision is recognized when an enterprise has a present obligation as a result of past event and
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of
which a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are not discounted to its present value and are
determined based on best management estimate required to settle the obligation at the balance
sheet date. These are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best
management estimates.

q) Segment Reporting Policies


Identification of segments
The analysis of geographical segments is based on the geographical location of the customers.

r) Cash and Cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.

C. Changes in Accounting Policies

i) Adoption of Accounting Standard AS 15 (Revised) Employee Benefits

Till the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company was providing for gratuity based on actuarial
valuation as per LIC certificate and leave benefits based on actuarial valuation. During the
period ended December 31, 2007, the Company has adopted Accounting Standard 15 (Revised)
which is mandatory from accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006.
Accordingly the Company has provided for gratuity based on actuarial valuation done as per
projected unit credit method. Also, the Company has changed the method of providing short-
term leave benefits from actuarial valuation to estimate basis. As a result, actuarial valuation of
leave liability and gratuity liability as at April 1, 2007 is higher by Rs. 5.11 million (net of tax
of Rs.0.65 million) which, in accordance with the transitional provision in the revised
accounting standard, has been adjusted to the General Reserve.

ii) Adoption of Accounting Standard) 11 ‘The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’

As per the requirements of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 read in
consonance with notified Accounting Standard 11 which is mandatory from the accounting
periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the exchange differences on foreign
currency transactions relating to fixed assets acquired from a country outside India have been
adjusted to revenue as against the hitherto followed practice of adjusting the same to the
carrying amount of fixed assets. As a result, net exchange gain of Rs 0.53 million which
otherwise would have been adjusted against the carrying amount of fixed assets, has been
credited to the Profit and Loss Account during the period ended December 31, 2007 and thus
profit before tax for the nine-months period ended December 31, 2007 is higher by the same
amount.

iii) Change in the method of accounting for Earned Leaves

The Company changed its accounting policy during the year ended March 31, 2007 and
accounted for the liability for employees’ earned leaves based on actuarial valuation as at the
end of the year in line with Accounting Standard 15 issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India. Till the previous year ended March 31, 2006, leave liability was
accounted for based on actual amount payable as per current encashable salary as at the end
of the year. As a result of this change, the accumulated liability of earned leave was higher
and the profit for the year ended March 31, 2007 was lower by Rs. 3.10 million The effect of
such change in accounting policy has been appropriately adjusted in the years/ periods to
which it pertains (refer Note E (i) below).

242
iv) Change in the method of providing Depreciation

The Company was following Straight Line Method of providing depreciation on fixed assets
upto the financial year ended December 2003 and Written Down Value method for the
fifteen months period ended March 31, 2005 and year ended March 31, 2006. During the
financial year ended March 31, 2007, the Company changed, with retrospective effect, its
method of providing depreciation on fixed assets, other than leasehold buildings, from the
Written Down Value (‘WDV’) method at the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the
Companies Act, 1956 to the Straight Line Method (‘SLM’) at the rates which are higher of
the useful lives of assets and the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act,
1956.

As a result of this change, the charge to the Profit and Loss Account before taxation for the
year ended March 31, 2007 was lower by Rs. 25.60 million and the net block of fixed assets
was correspondingly higher by the same amount. The effect of such change in accounting
policy has been appropriately adjusted in the years/ periods to which it pertains [refer Note E
(h) below].

D. Material Regroupings

Appropriate adjustments have been made in the Restated Summary Statements of Assets and
Liabilities, Profits and Losses and Cash Flows, wherever required, by a reclassification of the

Total number of equity shares outstanding at the
end of the year / period* 14571574 14571574

Ratios have been computed as per the following formula

Earnings per share (Rs.) = Net Profit after Tax, as restated attributable to equity shareholders

Net Worth, as restated, at the end of the year/ period

Net Asset Value (NAV) per share (Rs.)= Net Worth, as restated, at the end of the year
Number of equity shares outstanding at the end of year/ period

1) Weighted average number of equity shares is the number of equity shares outstanding at the
beginning of the year/ period, adjusted by the number of equity shares issued during the year/
period multiplied by the time - weighting factor. The time weighting factor is the number of
days for which the specific shares are outstanding as a proportion of the total number of days
during the year.
2) Net profit, as appearing in the statement of profit and loss of the respective years/ periods, has
been considered for the purpose of computing the above ratios.
3) Earnings per share calculations are done in accordance with Accounting Standard 20
"Earnings per Share" issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. In terms of
para 24 of AS-20, in case of a bonus issue, the number of equity shares outstanding before the
event is adjusted for the proportionate change in the number of equity shares outstanding as if
the event had occured at the beginning of the earliest period reported. Weighted average
number of equity shares outstanding during all the previous years have been considered
accordingly.
4) Net worth means Equity Share capital + Reserves and Surplus (including Securities Premium)
- Miscellaneous Expenditure not written off or adjusted.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based
upon, and should be read in conjunction with our restated consolidated financial statements for Fiscal
2007 and the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and our unconsolidated restated financial
statements for Fiscal 2006, 15 months ended March 31, 2005 and 12 months ended December 31, 2003
including the schedules, annexures and notes thereto and the report thereon. Our consolidated and
unconsolidated summary statements are prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. All references to
‘Fiscal’ are to the twelve month period ended March 31 of that year.
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. For additional information regarding such risks and uncertainties, see “Forward-
Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors”.

Overview

Our company is one of the leading providers of telecommunications value added products, services and
solutions in India. We provide a wide range of telecommunications value added services, platforms,
products and solutions to telecommunications carrier customers, subscribers of such carriers and
enterprises across India. As a value added services provider, we not only conceptualize products to
meet our customer needs, we source and aggregate content, provide the relevant platform for delivery
of our products and services and integrate these services with the core network elements of our carrier
customer. We have the ability to provide a comprehensive suite of value added products, services and
solutions across all key technology bearers. Our telecommunications products and services and
telecommunications solutions are delivered to subscribers of major telecommunications carriers in
India, including Airtel, Spice Communications, BSNL, IDEA, Reliance Communication, Vodafone,
MTNL, Tata Teleservices Limited and “Connect” & “Ping” of HFCL.

Our product portfolio includes music, information and entertainment based products and services (such
as mobile radio, BGM, CRBT, ringtone downloads, videos, contests, astrology, news, sports updates
and commodity rates), social networking products and services (such as voice chat), and call
management solutions (such as voicemail, voice SMS, select caller list, Pay4Me and missed call
alerts), all of which enable subscribers to personalize their mobile phones and enhance user experience.
Our products allow subscribers to access informational and entertainment content in more than 17
languages using IVRS speech-based navigation. Using our social networking platform, subscribers are
able to generate their own interactive content through messaging and conversations. We provide these
value added services and products through our carrier customers to mobile subscribers and enterprise
clients using IVRS, SMS, USSD, GPRS and WAP technology and delivery methods. Our applications
(other than GPRS) can be deployed on any network and accessed from most mobile handsets and fixed-
line devices. Many of our products and services can be accessed by subscribers using a variety of
delivery platforms, i.e., voice, SMS, USSD, GPRS, WAP and 3G network, thereby enabling us to
deploy our products and services across a majority of operators and networks.

We focus on multi-modal platforms based on voice, text and data. Our mobile radio platform gives
subscribers the interactive option to access content on demand in the language of their choice, using
their mobile phones. Given the demographic diversity of India, our platforms offer an efficient, easy-
to-use and attractive solution to our carrier customers for providing services to their subscribers. The
platform enables our carrier customers to introduce better targeted, more innovative content based
services. Our data platform, Mitr proposes to provide a unified framework for discovering and
accessing content and services, giving the subscriber a personalized experience. Our delivery
infrastructure is deployed across most network circles of our carrier customers.

Our roaming solutions provide traffic flow information, enable network optimization and identify
network bottlenecks for our carrier customers. Subscribers benefit from real-time updates and better
coverage while roaming outside their regular network. Through our in-house research and development
team, we have developed roaming solutions such as Welcome Roamer, Roam Tracker, Roam Globe,
Roam Secure and Roam Privilege.

280
Our value added services and products provide a source of additional revenue to our carrier customers
with relatively insignificant capital expenditure. Our music, entertainment and information based value
added products and services are dependent on the content which we provide. We have alliances with a
number of content owners and license holders and licensed content is delivered to our carrier customers
through our delivery platforms. As of May 31, 2008, we had more than 140,000 songs in more than 17
languages, as well as logos, wallpaper and 12,000 ringtones in our content database to cater to the
needs of multicultural and multilingual subscribers in India.

Basis of Preparation

The following discussion is based on our restated consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements,
which are based on our audited consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements restated in
accordance with paragraph B(1) of Part II of Schedule II of the Companies Act and the SEBI
Guidelines for the 12 months ended December 31, 2003, 15 months ended March 31, 2005, Fiscal 2006
and 2007 and the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The audited consolidated and unconsolidated
financial statements are prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. There was no requirement to
prepare consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to March 31, 2007 as the Company did
not have any subsidiaries and accordingly the Company did not prepare consolidated financial
statements for any periods prior to March 31, 2007.

Our year ended December 31, 2003 reflects a 12 month fiscal year, our year ended March 31, 2005
reflects a 15 month fiscal year, our year ended March 31, 2006 reflects a 12 month fiscal year, our year
ended March 31, 2007 reflects a 12 month fiscal year and our year ended December 31, 2007 reflects a
nine month fiscal year, as a result of change of fiscal year ends. As a result, our results of operations for
the periods presented below are not comparable. Our historical financial performance may not be
considered as indicative of future financial performance. Our future fiscal years will end on December
31 each year and as a result will not be comparable to our nine months ended December 31, 2007.

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Accounting
Standard 21 – Consolidated Financial Statements (“AS–21”) and Accounting Standard 23 – Accounting
for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statements (“AS–23”). We consolidate
financial statements of our Subsidiary in our consolidated financial statements.

Factors Affecting our Results of Operations

Our financial condition and results of operations are affected by numerous factors and the following are
of particular importance:

• General economic and business conditions. As a company operating in India, we are affected
by the general economic conditions in the country and in particular the factors affecting the
telecommunications industry in general. The Indian economy has grown steadily over the past
several years. GDP growth was 7.5% in Fiscal 2004, 8.1% in Fiscal 2005, 8.4% in Fiscal 2006
and 9.2% in the Fiscal 2007. The overall economic growth will impact the results of our
operations. The growth prospects of our business and our ability to implement our strategies
will be influenced by macro-economic growth.

• Change in technology and our ability to innovate and develop new products and services. Our
business depends on developing and providing innovative solutions to our customers that will
create and fulfill demand by end users. Development of new products is subject to
unpredictable and volatile factors beyond our control, including end user preferences and
competing solutions. In addition, due to the competitive nature of the telecommunications
market in which we operate, and because time-to-market and service features are key
differentiators of mobile value added services offerings between carriers, solutions and
applications in our industry have short life-spans. We need to continuously invest in research
and development in the past to develop new and differentiated products and services for our
customers. Further, some or all of such products may not provide adequate returns
commensurate with our investments. Our solutions could also be rapidly rendered obsolete by
the introduction of newer technologies based on more advanced mobile networks using
broader bandwidths. Our inability to deal with the above factors would impact our results of
operations.

281
• Competition. Our results of operations have been affected by competition in the
telecommunications value added services industry in India in the past. We expect competition
to intensify in the future due to possible new entrants in the market, existing competitors
further expanding their operations and our entry into new markets where we may compete
with well-established telecommunications value added services companies. This we believe
may impact our financial condition and operations.

• Dependency on entertainment and music related services. We earned approximately 61% and
63% of our operating income from our music related services including mobile radio, caller
ring back tones, BGM and Jukebox in nine months ended December 2007 and in prior fiscal
2007, respectively. We expect to continue to derive a significant portion of our operating
income from these services over the next few years. There could be a decline in the demand
for our products/services and solutions due to various factors, including increase in cost of our
products/ services and solutions. A decrease in the popularity of our music related services
and solutions among mobile phone users, or a failure by us to maintain, improve, update or
enhance such services and solutions in a timely manner, enter into new markets, or
successfully diversify our products/services and solutions could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Content availability. We procure our content from various content providers (who license
these to us) for use as part of the services we provide to our carrier customers. Any failure on
our part to comply with our obligations under the content license agreements could cause us to
be in breach of our contract and could result in a claim against us for substantial damages or
even termination of the contracts by the content provider. In addition, these licencing
arrangements are typically for a term of one year. If we are unable to renew these licenses on
terms favourable to us, or at all, upon their expiration we may be prevented from providing
content sourced from these content providers and will have to source alternative content which
may result in loss of income or business opportunities or reduced margins that would harm our
business, financial condition and results of operations.

• Intellectual property protection. Third parties may sue us for intellectual property
infringement or initiate proceedings to invalidate our intellectual property rights, either of
which, if successful, could disrupt the conduct of our business or require us to pay significant
damage awards which we may not succeed in recovering from our content providers. In
addition, in the event of a successful claim against us, we may be subject to injunctions
preventing us from using our intellectual property, incur significant licencing fees and/or be
forced to develop alternative technologies. Our failure or inability to develop non-infringing
technology or applications or to licence the infringed or similar intellectual property rights,
technology or applications on a timely basis could force us to withdraw services from the
market or prevent us from introducing new services on a timely basis, or at all. In addition,
even if we are able to licence the infringed or similar intellectual property rights, technology
or applications, licence fees could be substantial and the terms of such licenses could be
unfavorable. Any of the foregoing may result in increased costs and loss of income which may
have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Significant Accounting Policies

Our restated summary statements are prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP, the accounting
standards prescribed by ICAI and the relevant provisions of the Companies Act, and the accompanying
notes thereto included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus include information that is relevant to this
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations. The financial statements
require our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenditures, and the related disclosure of cash flows and contingent liabilities,
among other items. Certain key accounting policies that are relevant and specific to our business and
operations have been described below. The financial accounts have been prepared based on historical
cost convention on an accrual basis in accordance with applicable accounting standards.

Fixed Assets. Fixed Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if
any. Cost comprises of the purchase price and any attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working

282
condition for its intended use. Insurance spares/stand by equipments are capitalized as part of mother
assets.

Depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight line method as per the useful lives of the
assets estimated by the management, or at the rates prescribed under Schedule XIV of the Companies
Act, whichever is higher as under:

Tangible Assets Rates (SLM) (in %) Schedule XIV Rates (SLM)


(in%)
Buildings 3.34 3.34
Data Processing Machines 31.67 16.21
Furniture & Fixtures 13.57 6.33
Office Equipment
- Mobile phones 31.67 4.75
- Others 13.57 4.75
Vehicles
- Motor Cars 9.50 9.50
- Motor buses 13.57 11.31

Cost of leasehold improvements is amortised over the period of lease or their useful lives whichever is
lower. Individual assets costing up to Rs. 5,000 are depreciated fully in the month of purchase.
Insurance spares / standby equipments are depreciated prospectively over the remaining useful lives of
the respective mother assets.

Intangibles. Intangible assets acquired from third parties are amortised using the straight line method
over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Intangible Assets Estimated Useful Life (Years)


Computer Software 3 years

Costs incurred towards development of computer software products meant for sale, lease or otherwise
marketed, are capitalized subsequent to establishing technical feasibility. Capitalization ceases when
the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized software product costs are
amortized on a product-by-product basis. The amortization shall be greater of the amount computed
using (a) the ratio that current gross revenue for a product bears to the total of current and anticipated
future gross revenues for that product or (b) straight line method over the remaining estimated useful
life of the product. The unamortized cost of Capitalized software products is carried at cost, less
accumulated amortization less impairment, if any.
Cost

Impairment. The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet data if there is any
indication of impairment based on internal/external factors. An impairment loss is recognized wherever
the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater
of the asset's net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash
flows are discounted to their present value at the weighted average cost of capital. After impairment,
depreciation is provided on the revised carrying amount of the asset over its remaining useful life.

Leases. Leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership
of the leased term, are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments by the Company are
recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Assets subject to operating leases from the Company are included in fixed assets. Lease income is
recognised in the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Costs, including
depreciation are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account. Initial direct costs such as
legal costs and brokerage costs are recognised immediately in the profit and loss account.

Investments. Investments that are readily realisable and intended to be held for not more than a year are
classified as current investments. All other investments are classified as long term investments. Current
investments are carried at lower of cost and fair value determined on an individual investment basis.

283
Long term investments are carried at cost. However, provision for diminution in value is made to
recognise a decline other than temporary in the value of such investments.

Inventories: Inventories are valued as follows:

Traded goods At Cost or Net Realizable Value, whichever is lower. Cost is


determined on FIFO basis.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of
completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Revenue Recognition. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits
will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured.

Rendering of Services: Service revenue is recognised at the end of each month in which the services
are rendered. Service revenue includes income on value added services, revenue from roaming
management services, short message service distribution services and providing mobile content.

Sale of Goods: Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of
ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer, which coincides with their delivery to the customer.

Interest: Interest revenue is recognised on a time proportion basis taking into account the amount
outstanding and the rate interest applicable.

Foreign Currency.

Initial Recognition: Foreign currency transactions are recorded in the reporting currency, by applying
to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign
currency at the date of the transaction.

Conversion: Foreign currency monetary items are reported using the closing rate. Non-monetary items
which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are reported using the
exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange Differences: Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on


reporting Company's monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded
during the year, or reported in previous financial statements, are recognised as income or as expenses in
the year in which they arise. Exchange differences arising in respect of fixed assets acquired from
outside India on or before accounting period commencing after December 7, 2006 are capitalized as a
part of fixed asset.

Translation of Integral Foreign Operation: The financial statements of an integral foreign operation are
translated as if the transactions of the foreign operation have been those of the Company itself.

Retirement and other employee benefits

Retirement benefits in the form of Provident Fund is a defined contribution scheme and the
contributions are charged to the Profit and Loss Account of the year when the contributions to the
respective funds are due. There are no other obligations other than the contribution payable to the
statutory authorities.

Retirement Gratuity is a defined benefit obligation. The Company has taken insurance policy under the
Group Gratuity Scheme of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to cover the gratuity liability of
the employees and the premium paid/payable to LIC, in respect of the present value for liability of past
services is charged to the Profit and Loss account every year. Also, the difference between amount
paid/payable to LIC and the actuarial valuation on projected unit credit method made at the end of each
financial year is charged to the Profit and Loss account.

Short term compensated absences are provided for on based on estimates. Long term compensated
absences are provided for based on actuarial valuation. The actuarial valuation is done as per projected
unit credit method.

284
Actuarial gains / losses are immediately taken to profit and loss account and are not deferred.

Income Taxes.

Tax expense comprises of current, deferred and fringe benefit tax. Current income tax and fringe
benefit tax is measured at the amount expected to be paid to the tax authorities in accordance with the
I.T. Act. Deferred income taxes reflects the impact of current year timing differences between taxable
income and accounting income for the year and reversal of timing differences of earlier years.

Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rates and the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that there is reasonable
certainty that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets
can be realised. In situations where the Company has unabsorbed depreciation or carry forward tax
loses, all deferred tax assets are recognised only if there is virtual certainty supported by convincing
evidence that they can be realised against future taxable profits.

At each balance sheet date, the Company re-assesses unrecognised deferred tax assets. It recognises
unrecognised deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become unreasonably certain or virtually
certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such
deferred tax assets can be realised.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The Company
writes-down the carrying amount of a deferred tax asset to the extent that it is no longer reasonably
certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable income will be available
against which deferred tax asset can be realised. Any such write-down is reversed to the extent that it
becomes reasonably certain or virtually certain, as the case may be, that sufficient future taxable
income will be available.

MAT credit is recognised as an asset only when and to the extent there is convincing evidence that the
Company will pay normal income tax during the specified period. In the year in which the Minimum
Alternative tax (MAT) credit becomes eligible to be recognised as an asset in accordance with the
recommendations contained in Guidance Note issued by ICAI, the asset is created by way of a credit to
the profit and loss account and shown as MAT Credit Entitlement. The Company reviews the same at
each balance sheet date and writes down the carrying amount of MAT Credit Entitlement to the extent
there is no longer convincing evidence to the effect that the Company will pay normal Income Tax
during the specified period.

Changes in Accounting Policies

Change in the Method of Accounting for Earned Leaves. The Company changed its accounting policy
during the year ended March 31, 2007 and accounted for the liability for employees' earned leaves
based on actuarial valuation as at the end of the year in line with Accounting Standard-15 (“AS-15”)
issued by ICAI. Until the previous fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, leave liability was accounted for
based on actual amount payable as per current encashable salary as at the end of the year. As a result of
this change, the accumulated liability of earned leaves was higher and the profit for the year ended
March 31, 2007 was lower by Rs. 3.10 million. The effect of such change in accounting policy has
been appropriately adjusted in the years/periods to which it pertains.

Change in the Method of Providing Depreciation. The Company was following the straight line
method of providing depreciation on fixed assets up to the 12 months ended December 2003 and the
written down value method for the fifteen months period ended March 31, 2005 and Fiscal 2006.
During Fiscal 2007, the Company changed, with retrospective effect, its method of providing
depreciation on fixed assets, other than leasehold buildings, from the written down value method at the
rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act to the straight line method at the rates which
are higher of the useful lives of assets and the rates prescribed in Schedule XIV to the Companies Act.

As a result of this change, the charge to the profit and loss account before taxation for Fiscal 2007 was
lower by Rs. 25.60 million and the net block of fixed assets was correspondingly higher by the same

285
amount. The effect of such change in accounting policy has been appropriately adjusted in the
years/periods to which it pertains.

Adoption of AS-15 (Revised) Employee Benefits. Until Fiscal 2007, the Company was providing for
gratuity based on actuarial valuation as per LIC certificate and leave benefits based on actuarial
valuation. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company adopted AS-15 (Revised),
which is mandatory from accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006. Accordingly,
the Company has provided for gratuity based on actuarial valuation done as per the projected unit credit
method. In addition, the Company has changed the method of providing short-term leave benefits from
an actuarial valuation to an estimate basis. As a result, actuarial valuation of leave liability and gratuity
liability as at April 1, 2007 was higher by Rs. 5.11 million (net of tax of Rs. 0.65 million) which, in
accordance with the transitional provision in the revised accounting standard, has been adjusted to the
general reserve.

Adoption of Accounting Standard-11 'The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' (“AS-11”).
As per the requirements of the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and with AS-11, which
is mandatory from the accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the exchange
differences on foreign currency transactions relating to fixed assets acquired from a country outside
India have been adjusted to revenue as against the previously followed practice of adjusting the same to
the carrying amount of fixed assets. As a result, net exchange gain of Rs 0.53 million which otherwise
would have been adjusted against the carrying amount of fixed assets, previously credited to the profit
and loss account for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. Therefore, the profit before tax for the
nine months period ended December 31, 2007 was higher by the same amount.

Material Regroupings

Appropriate adjustments have been made in the Restated Summary Statements of Assets and
Liabilities, Profits and Losses and Cash Flows, wherever required, by a reclassification of the
corresponding items of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows, in order to bring them in
line with the groupings as per the audited financials of the Company for the nine months ended
December 31, 2007.

286
Prior Period Items. In the financial statements for Fiscal 2007 and the nine months ended December
31, 2007, certain items of income/expenses have been identified as prior period items. Such prior
period items have been appropriately adjusted in the respective years/periods.

Sundry Balances Written Back. In the financial statements for Fiscal 2006 and 2007 and the 15 months
ended March 31, 2005 and nine months ended December 31, 2007, certain liabilities created in the
earlier years/periods were written back. These liabilities, wherever required, have been appropriately
adjusted in the respective years/periods in which they were originally created.

Provision for Doubtful Debts. During Fiscal 2006 and the nine months ended December 31, 2007,
certain provisions for doubtful debts which pertained to debtors of earlier years/periods were created.
These provisions, wherever required, have been appropriately adjusted in the respective years/periods
in which these debtors and revenue were accounted for.

Sundry Balances Written off. In the financial statements for Fiscal 2007 and 2006 and the nine months
ended December 31, 2007, certain advances paid in the earlier years/periods were written off. These
advances, wherever required, have been appropriately adjusted in the respective years/periods in which
they were originally paid.

Bad Debts Written off. During Fiscal 2007 certain bad debts which pertained to debtors of earlier
years/periods were written off. These bad debts have been appropriately adjusted in the respective
years/periods in which these debtors and revenue were accounted for.

Bad Debts Recovered. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and Fiscal 2007, certain bad
debts written off in earlier years/periods were recovered. These recoveries have been appropriately
adjusted in the respective years/period in which they were originally written off.

Depreciation. During Fiscal 2007, the Company changed the method of providing depreciation on
fixed assets. The retrospective effect of depreciation has been appropriately adjusted in Fiscal 2006
and the 15 months ended March 31, 2005.

Leave Encashment. During Fiscal 2007,the Company changed its accounting policy and accounted for
provisioning of earned leaves. The effect of such change in policy has been appropriately adjusted in
Fiscal 2006 and the 15 months ended March 31, 2005.

Miscellaneous Expenditure (to the extent not written off). Up to Fiscal 2006, amounts carried forward
under the head 'Miscellaneous Expenditure (to the extent not written off)' representing pre-operative
expenditure, were being amortized on a pro-rata basis over a period of five years from the date of
commencement of commercial operations. However, Accounting Standard – 26 issued by ICAI, which
became applicable to the Company during the 15 month period ended March 31, 2005, did not permit
such carrying forward of expenditure. The effect of amortisation of such miscellaneous expenditure has
been appropriately adjusted in Fiscal 2006 and the 15 months ended March 31, 2005.

Taxes for earlier years/periods. During Fiscal 2007 and the nine months ended December 31, 2007,
certain taxes pertaining to the 15 months ended March 31, 2005 were paid. Such tax expense has been
appropriately adjusted in the 15 months ended March 31, 2005.

Audit Qualification/ Prior Period Items The Subsidiary of the Company had capitalized certain costs
relating to development of some software during the year ended March 31, 2007 for which technical
feasibility and probable future economic benefits were yet to be established. As the auditors of the
parent Company believed that such costs did not qualify for capitalization as per the guidance given
under Accounting Standard 26 ‘Intangible Assets’ issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of
India, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended March 31, 2007 were qualified to that
extent. In the current year, such costs have been charged to profit and loss account by the management
and disclosed under the head ‘Prior Period expenses’ in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the
nine months period ended December 31, 2007 and accordingly have been appropriately adjusted in the
year ended March 31, 2007 for the purpose of this statement.
Current Tax and Deferred Tax impact of adjustments. In the preparation of the Restated
Unconsolidated Summary Statements, the Company has made adjustments for the current tax and

287
deferred tax impact of the adjustments in the respective years/periods to which such adjustments
pertain.

Non-Adjustment Items

(i) The Company has changed the estimates of useful lives of some of its fixed assets during
Fiscal 2007 and the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The management believes that such
change in estimated useful lives is bonafide and occasioned by technical/environmental factors and
hence should not be restated in previous periods/years financials in the statement of assets and
liabilities, as restated.

(ii) The Company has adopted revised AS-15 on Employee Benefits issued by ICAI effective
from April 1, 2007. However, due to practical difficulties in retrospective application of the same, it
has not been possible for the management to determine the effect on the profits for the 12 months
ended December 31, 2003, the 15 months ended March 31, 2005, and Fiscal 2006 and 2007 had the
revised standard been adopted by the Company for each of those years/periods. Accordingly, such
adjustment has not been made in the attached unconsolidated restated financial statements.

(iii) As per the requirements of Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 and AS-11, which
is mandatory from the accounting periods commencing on or after December 7, 2006, the exchange
differences on foreign currency transactions relating to fixed assets acquired from a country outside
India have been adjusted to revenue as against the previously followed practice of adjusting the same to
the carrying amount of fixed assets. However, due to practical difficulties in retrospective application
of the same, it has not been possible for the management to determine the effect of such change in the
financial statements of earlier years/periods. Accordingly, such adjustment has not been made in the
attached unconsolidated restated financial statements. The impact of such adjustment is not material in
relation to the Restated Unconsolidated Summary Statements.

Our Results of Operations

Unless otherwise stated, “Fiscal” refers to the twelve month period ending March 31 of that year. Our
year ended December 31, 2003 reflects a 12 month fiscal year, our year ended March 31, 2005 reflects
a 15 month fiscal year, our year ended March 31, 2006 reflects a 12 month fiscal year, our year ended
March 31, 2007 reflects a 12 month fiscal year and our year ended December 31, 2007 reflects a nine
month fiscal year, as a result of change of fiscal year ends. As a result, our results of operations for the
periods presented below are not comparable. Our historical financial performance may not be
considered as indicative of future financial performance.

Our results of operations are consolidated for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 and for Fiscal
2007 and unconsolidated for Fiscal 2006, 15 months ended March 31, 2005 and 12 months ended
December 31, 2003. There was no requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements for the
periods prior to March 31, 2007 as the Company did not have any subsidiaries and accordingly the
Company did not prepare consolidated financial statements for any periods prior to March 31, 2007
The table below summarizes our results of operations, including as a percentage of total income, for the

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

Inflation

In recent years, India has experienced significant inflation and accordingly inflation may have material
impact on our business and results of operations. Inflation in India was approximately 5.5%, 6.5%,
4.4%, 5.5% and 8.1% in Fiscal 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and May 2008, respectively, which has
increased to 11.05% for the week ending June 5, 2008. Although GOI has initiated several economic
measures to curb the rise in inflation rates, it is unclear at this stage whether these measures will have
the desired effect. This rise in inflation rates in recent years may adversely affect growth in the Indian
economy and our results of operations.

Show Cause Notices

1. Our Company received a notice (C.No. IV(16)STC/SCN/CELLEBRUM/37/SML/07/9307) dated


August 3, 2007 from the Assistant Commissioner, Central Excise Division, stating that for the
period 2006-2007 education cess, under section 73 of the Finance Act, 1994 was not mentioned
separately while service tax was paid by our Company through TR-6 Challan. The said non-
accountal of payment in the proper head of education cess was treated as non-payment of
education cess.

The liability of our Company under the said notice is Rs. 489,940 with applicable interest and
penal action for contravention of section 68 of the Finance Act, 1994. Our Company has filed a
reply to the said notice dated August 29, 2007.

2. Our Company received two notices (V(STC)15/CE/Adj/43/07/5077-79 and


V(STC)15/CE/Adj/44/07/5080-82) dated October 24, 2007 from the Commissioner, Central
Excise, Chandigarh.

Our Company was alleged to have fraudulently suppressed the material fact of providing services
of ‘Short Message Peer to Peer Messaging’ under the self assessment procedure under the service
tax laws and procedures, with an intention to evade service tax. Since the facts and submissions
made in relation to the two show cause notices were identical and our Company was the noticee in
both, the two show cause notices were clubbed together. Our Company duly filed its reply.

The Central Excise Commissioner passed an order (05-06/ST/CHD/2008) dated February 12, 2008
against our Company demanding:

• Service tax of Rs. 15,576,854 under section 73 of the Finance Act, 1994 for the assessment
year 2006-2007.
• Interest for delayed payment at the applicable rate under section 75 of the Finance Act, 1994.
• Penalty of Rs. 100 under Section 76 of the Finance Act, 1994 for every day for the period
during which failure in payment continues. However, the total amount of this penalty should
not exceed the amount of service tax and cess that our Company failed to pay; and
• Penalty of Rs. 1,000 under section 77 of the Finance Act, 1994.

Our Company had filed a stay application and an appeal dated May 13, 2008 before the Customs,
Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal, Delhi to set aside said order. The appeal is currently
pending adjudication.

300
In eventuality of appeal, adjudicated against our Company, in addition to the amount
aforementioned , the amount of Rs. 23,317,878 for nine months period ended on December 31,
2007 and Rs. 10,807,000/- for the period January 1, 2008 to May 31, 2008 shall also stand as
contingent liability. Interest and penalty as aforementioned would also be applicable on this
contingent liability.

the Labour Officer cum Additional Officer Inspector of Factories, Office of the Labour Officer,
Solan district, Solan, Himachal Pradesh.

It is alleged by the Labour Officer that during his inspectional visit to our Company’s Parwanoo
unit, it was discovered that our Company is running a factory employing 165 direct workers and 26
contract labour and thus, our Company is in the alleged violation of the Factories Act, 1948 and
the Himachal Pradesh Factories Rules, 1950, the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 and the Himachal
Pradesh Rules, 1978 , the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 and the Himachal Pradesh Rules, 1979, the

Industrial Establishments (National Festival, Casual and Sick Leave) Act, 1979, the Equal
Remuneration Act, 1976, the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and

Officer Inspector of Factories.

It has also been alleged that despite a rectification notice (LO/Solan/Inspections/2007-1084-


88) being sent to our Company by the Labour Officer, Solan for submitting a compliance
report, our Company failed to do so and is hence liable for punishment under the above-

UAS license applications by DOT for 16 service areas, namely Assam, Bihar, Gujarat,
Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala, Kolkatta, Madhya Pradesh, Mumbai, North
East, Orissa, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu (including Chennai Service Area), Uttar Pradesh (west),
Uttar Pradesh (east) and West Bengal on the ground that the company does not possess the
requisite net-worth for grant of UAS license licenses for these 16 service areas. The company
has contended that it had much more than the required net-worth for the grant of the said
licenses at all times including, as on the date of the applications, i.e. August 31 2006, or at any
time thereafter.

adopted by DOT for grant of letters of intent and UAS licenses to various applicants as DOT
allegedly failed to follow its well established policy of first-come-first-serve for processing the
applications filed with it. The company has contended that various applicants were handed
over the letters of intent by DOT simultaneously and in fact some applicants were given the
letters of intent even prior to applicants like the company, who had preferred its applications
much prior to such other applicants. The company further contends that it is has the first
priority for grant of UAS licenses in the majority of the above-mentioned service areas, if the
date of application is considered as the criterion for determining seniority.

The matters are presently pending and in the interim the TDSAT vide its orders dated
February 28, 2008 has directed that till further orders DOT shall take into account the
seniority of the company and reserve its rights in respect of the company’s application dated

Modi Stones Limited (“MSL”) figures on the RBI’s list of defaulters. MSL was declared as a sick
industrial company by the Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (“BIFR”) by its order
dated April 15, 1998. The rehabilitation proposal submitted to BIFR was not acceptable to the secured
creditors and therefore, BIFR by its order dated April 25, 2001 confirmed its prima facie opinion that
MSL is not likely to make its net worth exceed its accumulated losses within the reasonable time while
meeting its financial obligations and as a result MSL should be wound-up in public interest under
section 20(1) of Sick Industrial (Special Provisions) Act 1985. The opinion of BIFR was forwarded to
the Bombay High Court for further actions under law by the Registrar of BIFR by its letter dated May
11, 2001. The Bombay High Court by its order dated July 25, 2002 has confirmed the opinion of BIFR
for winding up of MSL, and also appointed the official liquidator of MSL. Since then the official
liquidator is proceeding in the matter and all records have been handed over to the official liquidator by
the MSL.

Mr. Dilip Modi, one of our Promoters, was a director on the Board of MSL during the period August
20, 1992 till November 7, 1998 and Dr. B.K. Modi, part of our Promoter Group, was also a director on

Bidders, may nominate any one person in whom, in the event of the death of sole Bidder or in case of
joint Bidders, the death of all the Bidders, as the case may be, the Equity Shares Allotted shall vest. A
person, being a nominee entitled to the Equity Shares by reason of the death of the original holder(s),
shall in accordance with section 109A of the Companies Act, be entitled to the same benefits to which
he or she would be entitled if he or she were the registered holder of the Equity Share(s). Where the

Further, the Board may at any time give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to register
himself or herself or to transfer the Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with within a period
of 90 days, the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies
payable in respect of the Equity Shares, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

Since the Allotment will be made only in dematerialised form, there is no need to make a separate
nomination with our Company. Nominations registered with the respective depository participant of the
applicant will prevail. If the investors wish to change their nomination, they are requested to inform
their respective depository participant.

Bids by FIIs

In accordance with the current regulations, the following restrictions are applicable for investments
by FIls:

The issue of Equity Shares to a single FII should not exceed 10% of the post-Issue paid-up capital of our

on behalf of each sub-account shall not exceed 10% of the total paid-up capital of our Company or 5% of
the total paid-up capital of our Company, in case such sub-account is a foreign corporate or an individual.
In accordance with the foreign investment limits applicable to us, the total FII investment cannot exceed
24% of our Company’s total paid-up capital. With the approval of the board and the shareholders by way
of a special resolution, the aggregate FII holding can go up to 100%. However, our Company has not

underlying securities listed or proposed to be listed on any stock exchange in India only in favour of those
entities which are regulated by any relevant regulatory authorities in the countries of their incorporation or
establishment subject to compliance of “know your client” requirements. An FII or sub-account shall also
ensure that no further downstream issue or transfer of any instrument referred to hereinabove is made to
any person other than a regulated entity.

Associates and affiliates of the Underwriters, including the BRLMs, that are FIIs or its sub-account may
issue offshore derivative instruments against Equity Shares allocated to them in the Issue.

The SEBI (Venture Capital Funds) Regulations, 1996, as amended and the SEBI (Foreign Venture
Capital Investors) Regulations, 2000, as amended prescribe investment restrictions on Venture Capital

prior to making an initial public offering would be exempt from lock-in requirements only if the shares
have been held by them for at least one year prior to the time of filing the draft prospectus with SEBI.

The above information is given for the benefit of the Bidders. The Bidders are advised to make
their own enquiries about the limits applicable to them. Our Company, the Selling Shareholders

Maximum and Minimum Bid Size

a) For Retail Individual Bidders: The Bid must be for a minimum of [●] Equity Shares and in
multiples of [●] Equity Shares thereafter, so as to ensure that the Bid Amount payable by the
Bidder does not exceed Rs. 100,000. In case of revision of Bids, the Retail Individual Bidders
have to ensure that the Bid Amount does not exceed Rs. 100,000. Where the Bid Amount is over
Rs. 100,000 due to revision of the Bid or revision of the Price Band or on exercise of the option
to bid at Cut-off Price, the Bid would be considered for allocation under the Non-Institutional
Portion. The Cut-off Price option is given only to Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible
Employees Bidding under Employee Reservation Portion where the Bid Amount does not
exceed Rs. 100,000 indicating their agreement to the Bid and to purchase the Equity Shares at
the Issue Price as determined at the end of the Book Building Process.

(b) For Non-Institutional Bidders and QIB Bidders: The Bid must be for a minimum of such
number of Equity Shares such that the Bid Amount exceeds Rs. 100,000 and is a multiple of [●]
Equity Shares. A Bid cannot be submitted for more than the Issue size. However, the maximum
Bid by a QIB investor should not exceed the investment limits prescribed for them under
applicable laws. Under the SEBI Guidelines, a QIB Bidder cannot withdraw its Bid after
the Bid/Issue Closing Date and is required to pay the QIB Margin Amount upon
submission of the Bid.

In case of revision in Bids, the Non-Institutional Bidders, who are individuals, have to ensure
that the Bid Amount is greater than Rs. 100,000 for being considered for allocation in the Non-
Institutional Portion. In case the Bid Amount reduces to Rs. 100,000 or less due to a revision in
Bids or revision of the Price Band, Bids by Non-Institutional Bidders who are eligible for
allocation in the Non-Institutional Portion would be considered for allocation under the Retail
Portion. Non-Institutional Bidders and QIB Bidders are not allowed to Bid at the Cut-off Price.

(c) For Bidders in the Employee Reservation Portion

The Bid must be for a minimum of [●] Equity Shares and in multiples of [●]Equity Shares
thereafter. Bidders in the Employee Reservation Portion applying for a maximum Bid in any
of the bidding options not exceeding Rs. 100,000 may bid at Cut-off Price. Bidders may note
that the total Bid Amount will be used to determine whether the Bid exceeds Rs 100,000
or not. The Allotment in the Employee Reservation Portion will be on a proportionate basis.
However, in case of an oversubscription in the Employee Reservation Portion, the maximum
Allotment to any Eligible Employee will be capped at 100,000 Equity Shares. Eligible
Employees whose Bid Amount exceeds Rs. 100,000 may not Bid at Cut-off Price.

Bidders are advised to ensure that any single Bid from them does not exceed the investment
limits or maximum number of Equity Shares that can be held by them under applicable law or

and Price Band in the Red Herring Prospectus to be filed with the RoC and also publish the same

members of the Syndicate or their authorized agent(s) to register their Bid.

2. The Bidding/Issue Period shall be for a minimum of three Business Days and shall not exceed
seven Business Days. Where the Price Band is revised, the revised Price Band and

and specify the demand (i.e., the number of Equity Shares Bid for) in each option. The price and

380
optional demands from the Bidder and will not be cumulated. After determination of the Issue

become automatically invalid.

5. The Bidder cannot Bid on another Bid cum Application Form after Bid(s) on one Bid cum
Application Form have been submitted to any member of the Syndicate. Submission of a second
Bid cum Application Form to either the same or to another member of the Syndicate will be
treated as multiple bidding and is liable to be rejected either before entering the Bid into the
electronic bidding system, or at any point in time before the Allotment. However, the Bidder can
revise the Bid through the Revision Form, the procedure for which is detailed under the
paragraph “Build up of the Book and Revision of Bids”.

6. The members of the Syndicate will enter each Bid option into the electronic bidding system as a
separate Bid and generate a Transaction Registration Slip (“TRS”) for each price and demand
option and give the same to the Bidder. Therefore, a Bidder can receive up to three TRSs for

multiples of Re.1 (Rupee One).

2. Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserve the right to
revise the Price Band during the Bidding/Issue Period in accordance with the SEBI Guidelines.
The cap on the Price Band should not be more than 120% of the Floor Price. Subject to
compliance with the immediately preceding sentence, the floor of the Price Band can move up or
down to the extent of 20% of the floor of the Price Band disclosed in the Red Herring

seven Business Days. In case of a revision of the Price Band, the Bidding/Issue Period shall be
extended for three additional Business Days, subject to a maximum of 10 Business Days. Any
revision in the Price Band and the revised Bidding/Issue Period, if applicable, will be widely
disseminated by notification to the Stock Exchanges, by issuing a public notice in two widely
circulated national newspapers (one each in English and Hindi) each with a wide circulation, and
also by indicating the change on the website of the BRLMs and at the terminals of the members
of the Syndicate.

4. Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, can finalise the
Issue Price within the Price Band without the prior approval of, or intimation to, the Bidders.

5. The Bidder can Bid at any price within the Price Band. The Bidder has to Bid for the desired
number of Equity Shares at a specific price.

Retail Individual Bidders and Bidders in the Employee Reservation Portion applying for
a maximum Bid in any of the bidding options not exceeding up to Rs. 100,000, may Bid
at the Cut-off Price. However, bidding at the Cut-off Price is prohibited for QIB Bidders
or Non-Institutional Bidders and Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee
Reservation Portion where the Bid Amount is in excess of Rs. 100,000 and such Bids
from QIB Bidders, Non-Institutional Bidders and Eligible Employees shall be rejected.

381
6. Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation
Portion who Bid at the Cut-off Price agree that they shall purchase the Equity Shares at any
price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders and Eligible Employees bidding under
the Employee Reservation Portion bidding at the Cut-off Price shall deposit the Bid Amount
based on the Cap Price in the Escrow Accounts. In the event that the Bid Amount is higher than
the subscription amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at Cut-off Price and
Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion at Cut-Off Price, such
Bidder shall receive the refund of the excess amounts from the Escrow Accounts in the manner
described under the paragraph “Payment of Refund”. However, bidding at the Cut-off Price is
prohibited for QIB Bidders, Non-Institutional Bidders or Bidders in the Employee Reservation
Portion whose Bid Amount exceeds Rs. 100,000 and such Bids from QIB, Non-Institutional
Bidders or Eligible Employees shall be rejected.

7. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders
and Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion who had Bid at the
Cut-off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) make additional payment based on the higher
cap of the revised Price Band (such that the total amount i.e., the original Bid Amount plus
additional payment does not exceed Rs. 100,000 if the Bidder wants to continue to Bid at the
Cut-off Price), with the members of the Syndicate to whom the original Bid was submitted. In
case the total amount (i.e., original Bid Amount plus additional payment) exceeds Rs. 100,000,
the Bid will be considered for allocation under the Non-Institutional Portion in terms of the Red
Herring Prospectus. If, however, the Bidder does not either revise the Bid or make additional
payment and the Issue Price is higher than the cap of the Price Band before revision, the number
of Equity Shares Bid for shall be adjusted downwards for the purpose of Allotment, such that no
additional payment would be required from the Bidder and the Bidder is deemed to have
approved such revised Bid at the Cut-off Price.

8. In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders
and Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion who have Bid at the
Cut-off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess amount paid at the time of bidding would
be refunded from the Escrow Accounts.

9. In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or downwards, the minimum
application size shall remain [●] Equity Shares irrespective of whether the Bid Amount payable
on such minimum application is not in the range of Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 7,000.

Escrow Mechanism

Our Company, the Selling Shareholders and the members of the Syndicate shall open Escrow Accounts
with one or more Escrow Collection Banks in whose favour the Bidders make out the cheque or demand
draft in respect of his or her Bid and/or revision of the Bid. Cheques or demand drafts received for the full
Bid Amount from Bidders in a certain category would be deposited in the Escrow Accounts. The Escrow
Collection Banks will act in terms of the Red Herring Prospectus, the Prospectus and the Escrow
Agreement. The monies in the Escrow Accounts shall be maintained by the Escrow Collection Banks for
and on behalf of the Bidders. The Escrow Collection Banks shall not exercise any lien whatsoever over
the monies deposited therein and shall hold the monies therein in trust for the Bidders. On the Designated
Date, the Escrow Collection Banks shall transfer the monies from the Escrow Accounts to the Public
Issue Account and the Refund Account as per the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Red Herring
Prospectus and the Prospectus.

The Bidders should note that the escrow mechanism is not prescribed by SEBI and has been established
as an arrangement between us, the Syndicate, the Escrow Collection Bank(s) and the Registrar to the
Issue to facilitate collections from the Bidders.

Terms of Payment and Payment into the Escrow Accounts

Each Bidder shall pay the applicable Margin Amount, with the submission of the Bid cum Application
Form, draw a cheque or demand draft in favour of the Escrow Accounts of the Escrow Collection Bank(s)
(see the section “Issue Procedure - Payment Instructions” beginning on page 392), and submit such
cheque or demand draft to the member of the Syndicate to whom the Bid is being submitted. The Bidder

382
may also provide the applicable Margin Amount by way of an electronic transfer of funds through the
RTGS mechanism. Each QIB shall provide their QIB Margin Amount only to a BRLM. Bid cum
Application Forms accompanied by cash/Stockinvest/money order shall not be accepted. The Margin
Amount based on the Bid Amount has to be paid at the time of submission of the Bid cum Application
Form.

The members of the Syndicate shall deposit the cheque or demand draft with the Escrow Collection
Bank(s), which will hold the monies for the benefit of the Bidders until the Designated Date. On the
Designated Date, the Escrow Collection Bank(s) shall transfer the funds from the Escrow Accounts, as
per the terms of the Escrow Agreement, into the Public Issue Account. The balance amount after transfer
to the Public Issue Account of our Company shall be transferred to the Refund Account on the Designated
Date. No later than 15 days from the Bid/Issue Closing Date, the Refund Bank(s) shall also refund all
amounts payable to unsuccessful Bidders and also the excess amount paid on bidding, if any, after
adjustment for Allotment, to the Bidders.

Each category of Bidders, i.e., QIB Bidders, Non-Institutional Bidders, Retail Individual Bidders and
Eligible Employees bidding under the Employee Reservation Portion would be required to pay their
applicable Margin Amount at the time of submission of the Bid cum Application Form. The Margin
Amount payable by each category of Bidders is mentioned under the heading “Issue Structure”. Where
the Margin Amount applicable to the Bidder is less than 100% of the Bid Amount, any difference
between the amount payable by the Bidder for Equity Shares allocated at the Issue Price and the Margin
Amount paid at the time of Bidding, shall be payable by the Bidder no later than the Pay-in Date. If the
payment is not made favouring the Escrow Accounts within the time stipulated above, the Bid of the
Bidder is liable to be rejected. However, if the applicable Margin Amount for Bidders is 100%, the full
amount of payment has to be made at the time of submission of the Bid cum Application Form.

Where the Bidder has been allocated a lesser number of Equity Shares than he or she had Bid for, the
excess amount paid on Bidding, if any, after adjustment for Allotment, will be refunded to such Bidder
within 15 days from the Bid/Issue Closing Date, failing which our Company shall pay interest according
to the provisions of the Companies Act for any delay beyond the periods as mentioned above.

Electronic Registration of Bids

1. The members of the Syndicate will register the Bids using the on-line facilities of the Stock
Exchanges. There will be at least one on-line connectivity facility in each city where a stock
exchange is located in India and where Bids are being accepted.

2. The NSE and the BSE will offer a screen-based facility for registering Bids for the Issue. This
facility will be available on the terminals of the members of the Syndicate and their authorised
agents during the Bidding/Issue Period. The members of the Syndicate can also set up facilities
for off-line electronic registration of Bids subject to the condition that they will subsequently
upload the off-line data file into the on-line facilities for book building on a regular basis. On the
Bid/Issue Closing Date, the members of the Syndicate shall upload the Bids until such time as
may be permitted by the Stock Exchanges.

3. The aggregate demand and price for Bids registered on electronic facilities of the NSE and the
BSE will be uploaded on a regular basis, consolidated and displayed on-line at all bidding
centres as well as on the NSE’s website at www.nseindia.com and on the BSE’s website
at www.bseindia.com. A graphical representation of consolidated demand and price will be
made available at the bidding centres during the Bidding/Issue Period.

4. At the time of registering each Bid, the members of the Syndicate shall enter the following
details of the investor in the on-line system:

• Name of the Bidder(s). Bidders should ensure that the name given in the Bid cum
Application Form is exactly the same as the name in which the Depositary Account is
held. In case the Bid cum Application Form is submitted in joint names, Bidders should
ensure that the Depository Account is also held in the same joint names and the names
are in the same sequence in which they appear in the Bid cum Application Form;

383
• Investor category—Individual, Corporate, QIBs, Eligible NRI, FVCI, FII or Mutual
Fund, etc.;

• Numbers of Equity Shares bid for;

• Bid price;

• Bid cum Application Form number;

• Margin Amount paid-upon submission of Bid cum Application Form; and

• Depository Participant identification number and client identification number of the


demat account of the Bidder.

5. A system-generated TRS will be given to the Bidder as proof of the registration of each of the
bidding options. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to obtain the TRS from the members of the
Syndicate. The registration of the Bid by the member of the Syndicate does not guarantee that
the Equity Shares shall be allocated either by the members of the Syndicate or our Company.

6. Such TRS will be non-negotiable and by itself will not create any obligation of any kind.

7. In case of QIB Bidders, members of the Syndicate also have the right to accept the Bid or reject
the Bid. However, such rejection should be made at the time of receiving the Bid and only after
assigning a reason for such rejection in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail
Individual Bidders, Bids would not be rejected except on the technical grounds listed in this
Draft Red Herring Prospectus.

8. The permission given by the NSE and the BSE to use their network and software of the online
IPO system should not in any way be deemed or construed to mean that the compliance with
various statutory and other requirements by our Company or the BRLMs are cleared or approved
by the NSE and the BSE; nor does it in any manner warrant, certify or endorse the correctness or
completeness of compliance with the statutory and other requirements nor does it take any
responsibility for the financial or other soundness of our Company, the Promoters, the
management or any scheme or project of our Company.

9. It is also to be distinctly understood that the approval given by the NSE and the BSE should not
in any way be deemed or construed that the Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been cleared or
approved by the NSE or the BSE; nor does it in any manner warrant, certify or endorse the
correctness or completeness of any of the contents of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus; nor does
it warrant that the Equity Shares will be listed or will continue to be listed on the NSE and
the BSE.

Build Up of the Book and Revision of Bids

1. Bids registered by various Bidders through the members of the Syndicate shall be electronically
transmitted to the NSE or BSE mainframe on a regular basis.

2. The book gets built up at various price levels. This information will be available from the
BRLMs on a regular basis.

3. During the Bidding/Issue Period, any Bidder who has registered his or her interest in the Equity
Shares at a particular price level is free to revise his or her Bid within the Price Band using the
printed Revision Form, which is a part of the Bid cum Application Form.

4. Revisions can be made in both the desired number of Equity Shares and the Bid Amount by
using the Revision Form. The Bidder must complete the details of all the options in the Bid cum
Application Form or earlier Revision Form. For example, if a Bidder has Bid for three options in
the Bid cum Application Form and he is changing only one of the options in the Revision Form,
he must still complete all the details of the other two options that are not being changed in the

384
Revision Form. Incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms will not be accepted by the members
of the Syndicate.

5. The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bidding/Issue Period.
However, for any revision(s) in the Bid, the Bidders will have to use the services of the same
member of the Syndicate through whom the original Bid was placed.

6. Bidders are advised to retain copies of the blank Revision Form and the revised Bid must be
made only on such Revision Form or copies thereof.

7. Any revision of the Bid shall be accompanied by payment in the form of cheque or demand draft
for the incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. The
excess amount, if any, resulting from downward revision of the Bid would be returned to the
Bidder at the time of refund in accordance with the terms of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
In the case of QIB Bidders, the members of the Syndicate shall collect the payment in the form
of cheque or demand draft or electronic transfer of funds through RTGS for the incremental
amount in the QIB Margin, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid at the
time of one or more revisions by the QIB Bidders.

8. When a Bidder revises a Bid, the Bidder shall surrender the earlier TRS and get a revised TRS
from the members of the Syndicate. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to request and
obtain the revised TRS, which will act as proof of revision of the original Bid.

9. Only Bids that are uploaded on the online IPO system of the NSE and the BSE shall be
considered for allocation/Allotment. In the event of a discrepancy of data between the Bids
registered on the online IPO system and the physical Bid cum Application Form, the decision of
the BRLMs and the Designated Stock Exchange, based on the physical records of Bid cum
Application Forms, shall be final and binding on all concerned.

Price Discovery and Allocation

1. After the Bid/Issue Closing Date, the BRLMs shall analyse the demand generated at various
price levels and discuss pricing strategy with our Company and the Selling Shareholders.

2. Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, shall finalise the
Issue Price.

3. The Allotment to QIBs will be at least 60% of the Net Issue, on a proportionate basis and the
availability for allocation to Non-Institutional and Retail Individual Bidders will be not less
than 10% and 30% of the Net Issue, respectively, on a proportionate basis, in a manner
specified in the SEBI Guidelines and this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, in consultation with
the Designated Stock Exchange, subject to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue
Price. If at least 60% of the Net Issue cannot be allotted to QIBs then the entire application
money will be refunded. The allocation under the Employee Reservation Portion would be on
a proportionate basis, in the manner specified in the SEBI Guidelines and the Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, subject to valid Bids
being received at or above the Issue Price.

4. In case of over-subscription in all categories, at least 60% of the Net Issue shall be available
for allocation on a proportionate basis to QIBs, out of which 5% shall be reserved for Mutual
Funds. Mutual Funds participating in the 5% share in the QIB Portion will also be eligible for
allocation in the remaining QIB Portion. However, if the aggregate demand by Mutual Funds
is less than 5% of the QIB Portion, the balance Equity Shares from the portion specifically
available for allocation to Mutual Funds in the QIB Portion will first be added to the QIB
Portion and be allocated proportionately to the QIBs in proportion to their Bids. In the event
that the aggregate demand in the QIB Portion has been met, under-subscription, if any, will be
met with spill-over from any other category or combination of categories at the discretion of
our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs and the
Designated Stock Exchange.

385
Any under-subscription in the Employee Reservation Portion would be included in the Net
Issue. Under-subscription, if any, in the Retail and Non-Institutional categories, would be
allowed to be met with spill-over from any other category or combination of categories at the
sole discretion of our Company and Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs.
However, if the aggregate demand by Mutual Funds is less than 335,131 Equity Shares, the
balance Equity Shares available for allocation in the Mutual Fund Portion will first be added
to the QIB Portion and be allotted proportionately to the QIB Bidders.

5. Allotment to Eligible NRIs, FIIs registered with the SEBI or Mutual Funds or FVCIs registered
with the SEBI will be subject to applicable laws, rules, regulations, guidelines and approvals.

6. Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserves the
right not to proceed with the Issue at any time after the Bid/Issue Opening Date but before the
Allotment, without assigning any reason thereof.

reasons for rejecting the same shall be provided to such Bidder in writing.

Prospectus with RoC, which then will be termed “Prospectus”. The Prospectus will have details
of the Issue Price, Issue size, underwriting arrangements and will be complete in all material
respects.

Filing of the Red Herring Prospectus and the Prospectus with the RoC

This advertisement, in addition to the information that has to be set out in the statutory advertisement,
shall indicate the Issue Price along with a table showing the number of Equity Shares and the amount
payable by an investor. Any material updates between the date of the Red Herring Prospectus and the
Prospectus shall be included in such statutory advertisement.

Issuance of Confirmation of Allocation Note (“CAN”)

(a) Upon approval of the Basis of Allotment by the Designated Stock Exchange, the BRLMs or the
Registrar to the Issue shall send to the members of the Syndicate a list of their Bidders who have
been allocated Equity Shares in the Issue. The approval of the basis of allocation by the
Designated Stock Exchange for QIB Bidders may be done simultaneously with or before the
approval of the basis of allocation for the Retail Individual Bidders and Non-Institutional
Bidders and Bids from Eligible Employees bidding in the Employee Reservation Portion.
However, the investor should note that our Company shall ensure that the instructions by our
Company for demat credit of the Equity Shares to all investors in this Issue shall be given on the
same date of Allotment.

(b) The BRLMs or the members of the Syndicate will then send a CAN to their Bidders who have
been allocated Equity Shares in the Issue. The dispatch of a CAN shall be deemed a valid,
binding and irrevocable contract for the Bidder to pay the entire Issue Price for all the Equity
Shares allocated to such Bidder. Those Bidders who have not paid the Bid Amount in full into
the Escrow Accounts at the time of bidding shall pay in full the amount payable into the Escrow
Accounts by the Pay-in Date specified in the CAN.

(c) Bidders who have been allocated Equity Shares and who have already paid into the Escrow
Accounts at the time of bidding shall directly receive the CAN from the Registrar to the Issue
subject, however, to realisation of their cheque or demand draft paid into the Escrow Accounts.

(d) The issuance of a CAN is subject to “Notice to QIBs: Allotment Reconciliation and Revised
CANs” as set forth below.

Notice to QIBs: Allotment Reconciliation and Revised CANs

After the Bid/Issue Closing Date, an electronic book will be prepared by the Registrar on the basis of Bids
uploaded on the BSE/NSE system. Based on the electronic book, QIBs will be sent a CAN, indicating the
number of Equity Shares that may be allocated to them. This CAN is subject to the basis of final

387
Allotment, which will be approved by the Designated Stock Exchange and reflected in the physical book
prepared by the Registrar. Subject to the SEBI Guidelines, certain Bid applications may be rejected due to
technical reasons, non-receipt of funds, cancellation of cheques, cheque bouncing, incorrect details, etc.,
and these rejected applications will be reflected in the reconciliation and Basis of Allotment as approved
by the Designated Stock Exchange. As a result, a revised CAN may be sent to QIBs and the allocation of
Equity Shares in such revised CAN may be different from that specified in the earlier CAN. QIBs should
note that they may be required to pay additional amounts, if any, by the Pay-in Date specified in the
revised CAN, for any increased allocation of Equity Shares. The CAN will constitute the valid, binding
and irrevocable contract (subject only to the issue of a revised CAN) for the QIB to pay the entire Issue
Price for all the Equity Shares allocated to such QIB. Any revised CAN, if issued, will supersede in its
entirety the earlier CAN.

Designated Date and Allotment

(a) Our Company will ensure that the Allotment is done within 15 days of the Bid/Issue Closing
Date. After the funds are transferred from the Escrow Accounts to the Public Issue Account and
the Refund Account on the Designated Date, our Company will ensure the credit to the
successful Bidder(s) depository account. Allotment of the Equity Shares to the successful
Bidders shall be within 15 days from the Bid/Issue Closing Date.

(b) As per the SEBI Guidelines, Allotment of the Equity Shares will be only in dematerialised form
to the allottees.

(c) Successful Bidders will have the option to re-materialise the Equity Shares so Allotted as per the

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS

Joint Bids in case of Individuals

Bids may be made in single or joint names (not more than three). In the case of joint Bids, all refund
payments will be made in favour of the Bidder whose name appears first in the Bid cum Application
Form or Revision Form. All communications will be addressed to the first Bidder and will be dispatched
to his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository.

Multiple Bids

A Bidder should submit only one Bid (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares
required. Two or more Bids will be deemed to be multiple Bids if the sole or first Bidder is one and
the same.

In this regard, the procedures to be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple applications
are given below:

1. All applications with the same name and age will be accumulated and taken to a separate process
file which would serve as a multiple master document.

2. In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN. In cases where the PAN numbers
are different, the same will be deleted from this master.

3. The addresses of all these applications from the multiple master will be strung from the address
master. This involves putting the addresses in a single line after deleting non-alpha and non-
numeric characters, i.e., commas, full stops, hashes etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of the
address and pin code will be converted into a string for each application received and a photo
match will be carried out among all the applications processed. A print-out of the addresses will
be made to check for common names. Applications with the same name and same address will
be treated as multiple applications.

4. The applications will be scanned for similar DP ID and beneficiary account numbers. In cases
where applications bear the same numbers, these will be treated as multiple applications.

5. After the aforesaid procedures, a print-out of the multiple master will be taken and the
applications physically verified to tally signatures and also father’s/husband’s names. On
completion of this, the applications will be identified as multiple applications.

In case of a Mutual Fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the Mutual Funds and
such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the Mutual Funds will not be treated as multiple Bids
provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme for which the Bid has been made.

394
Bids made by Eligible Employees both under Employees Reservation Portion as well as in the Net Issue
shall not be treated as multiple Bids.

Our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the BRLMs, reserve the right to reject, in
their absolute discretion, all or any multiple Bids in any or all categories.

Permanent Account Number (“PAN”)

The Bidder or in the case of a Bid in joint names, each of the Bidders, should mention his/her PAN
allotted under the I.T. Act. Applications without this information and documents will be
considered incomplete and are liable to be rejected. It is to be specifically noted that Bidders should
not submit the GIR number instead of the PAN, as the Bid is liable to be rejected on this ground.

Right to reject Bids by our Company and the Selling Shareholders

In case of QIB Bidders, our Company and the Selling Shareholders, in consultation with the
BRLMs, may reject Bids provided that the reason for rejecting the Bid shall be provided to such Bidders
in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, our Company and the
Selling Shareholders will have a right to reject Bids based on technical grounds only. Consequent refunds
shall be made as described in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and will be sent to the Bidder’s address at
the Bidder’s risk.

Grounds for Technical Rejections

Bidders are advised to note that Bids are liable to be rejected on, inter alia, the following technical
grounds:

1. Amount paid does not tally with the amount payable for the highest value of Equity Shares

Period will commence on [●], 2008 and expire on [●], 2008. Following the expiration of the

allocation and entitlement to Allotment based on the bids received and subject to confirmation by the

confirmation of allocation) and will be required to pay any unpaid amount for the Equity Shares within a
prescribed time. The SEBI Guidelines require our Company to complete the Allotment to successful
bidders within 15 calender days of the expiration of the Bidding/Issue Period. The Equity Shares will
then be credited and Allotted to the investors’ demat accounts maintained with the relevant depository
participant. Upon approval by the Stock Exchanges, the Equity Shares will be listed and trading
will commence.

401
Method of proportionate Basis of Allotment

In the event the Issue is oversubscribed, the Basis of Allotment shall be finalised by our Company, in
consultation with the BRLMs and the Designated Stock Exchange. The executive director or managing
director (or any other senior official nominated by them) of the Designated Stock Exchange along with
the BRLMs and the Registrar to the Issue shall be responsible for ensuring that the Basis of Allotment is
finalised in a fair and proper manner. Allotment to Bidders shall be made in marketable lots on a
proportionate basis as explained below:

(a) Bidders will be categorised according to the number of Equity Shares applied for by them.

(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be Allotted to each category as a whole shall be arrived at
on a proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category
(number of Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for)
multiplied by the inverse of the oversubscription ratio.

(c) The number of Equity Shares to be allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that
category multiplied by the inverse of the oversubscription ratio.

(d) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than [●] but is not a multiple
of one (which is the market lot), the decimal will be rounded off to the higher whole number if
that decimal is 0.5 or higher. If that number is lower than 0.5, it will be rounded off to the lower
whole number. Allotment to all Bidders in such categories shall be arrived at after such
rounding off.

(e) In all Bids where the proportionate Allotment is less than [●] Equity Shares per Bidder, the
Allotment shall be made as follows:

• Each successful Bidder shall be Allotted a minimum of [●] Equity Shares; and

• The successful Bidders out of the total Bidders for a portion shall be determined by the
drawing of lots in a manner such that the total number of Equity Shares Allotted in that
category is equal to the number of Equity Shares calculated in accordance with
(c) above; and

(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity
Shares Allotted to the Bidders in that portion, the remaining Equity Shares available for
Allotment shall be first adjusted against any other category, where the Equity Shares are not
sufficient for proportionate Allotment to the successful Bidders in that category. The balance of
Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising
Bidders applying for the minimum number of Equity Shares.

Notes:

1. The illustration presumes compliance with the requirements specified in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus in the section “Issue Structure” beginning on page 370.

2. Out of 120 million Equity Shares allocated to QIBs, 6 million (i.e., 5%) will be Allotted on a
proportionate basis among five Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 million Equity
Shares in the QIB Portion.

3. The balance 114 million Equity Shares i.e., 120 - 6 (available for Mutual Funds only) will be
Allotted on a proportionate basis among 10 QIB Bidders who applied for 500 million Equity
Shares (including 5 Mutual Fund applicants who applied for 200 million Equity Shares).

4. The figures in the fourth column entitled “Allocation of balance 114 million Equity Shares to
QIBs proportionately” in the above illustration are arrived at as explained below:

For QIBs other than Mutual Funds (A1 to A5) = Number of Equity Shares Bid for × 114/494

For Mutual Funds (MF1 to MF5) = (No. of shares bid for (i.e., in column II of the table above)
less Equity Shares Allotted (i.e., column III of the table above) × 114/494

The numerator and denominator for arriving at the allocation of 114 million Equity Shares to the
10 QIBs are reduced by 6 million shares, which have already been Allotted to Mutual Funds in
the manner specified in column III of the table above.
