STUDY ON INFLATION TREND AND ITS IMPACT ON OVER ALL FINANCIALS OF GENPACT
Statement of Objectives
To study the inflation trend in Indian economy. To analyze the effect on the cost drivers in Genpact due to various factors. To know the effect on the profitability of Genpact due to change in the total cost of the company.
Inflation
Inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services.
The price level rises, each unit of currency buys fewer goods and services.
The rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and, subsequently, purchasing power is falling.
For example: As inflation rises, every rupee will buy a smaller percentage of a good. For example, if the inflation rate is 2%, then a Re.1 pack of gum will cost Re.1.02 in a year.
Inflation Dynamics
In short-run inflation dynamics is largely dependent on supply and demand conditions. Monetary expansion influences inflationary condition in the long-run. Monetary expansion could be caused by persistence of high fiscal deficit. High monetary growth could lead to continued excess demand for a prolonged period without matching increase in output and productivity.

FINDINGS
The cost line that is majorly affected by the change in the rate of inflation is salary and benefits that constitute around 60-65% of the total cost of the company. On an average company has inflation clause in nearly all its accounts. Company is charging on an average an inflation rate of 5% on fixed rate basis from its clients.
The Company is doing fairly enough as far as overcoming inflation is concerned by offsetting the overall effect of inflation by deflating other cost lines such as infra expenses and It expenses etc.
There has been a decline in the revenue by 10% and the cost has increased by 3.50%. Therefore, reducing the overall EBIT earned by the company in 2010. India contributes 72% in the total operations carried on the company as a whole.
If the inflation continues to rise at the same pace and company continues to apply the cost cutting at the same rate, the profitability of company has a huge possibility to decline in the future.
SUGGESTIONS
The company should try to control the attrition rate as that lead to hiring of new employees at the market rate. There are some accounts where no inflation clause is charged. Company should try to negotiate with the clients in order to introduce an inflation clause. If possible, negotiations should be made that during the contract period with completion of every year there should be some increment in the inflation rate provided to the company by its clients.
For example if inflation for 1st year is 4% then for 2nd year the rate should be increased to 4.5% or 4.25% or so. Company should try to control its internal cost such as cost on infrastructure, information technology and so on.
