    What we like:<\/strong>    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. Focus on high-growth interconnected verticals:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Saksoft has identified 4 key verticals viz healthcare, transport and logistics, fintech, and retail\/ ecommerce wherein it possesses i) technological capabilities ii) domain acumen, and iii) execution experience and intends to focus on these niche verticals to aid growth under its \u2018inch wide mile deep\u2019 strategy which differentiates it from the pantheon of bigger \u2018can do it all\u2019 companies. This helps Saksoft demarcate its target market and position itself as domain expert with an established track record in these industries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Leveraging growth with acquisitions:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Saksoft\u2019s acquisitions have predominantly been for capabilities and it acquired 5 niche companies over the last decade or so, allowing it to add newer service verticals and increase penetration in US and UK.

        1. The company has a robust growth strategy:<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          The company is using the \u2018Network Effect\u2019 coupled with its sales front end to drive growth and believes this creates familiarity and leads to deal conversion. Also, 80% of revenues through existing accounts and references to Invest in creating digital assets and framework such as unite and stack to enable customers faster go to market and help their digitization journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. The company is virtually debt free and has increased its topline by a good margin over the past couple of years.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Factors to consider:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            1. The company is a relatively small player in the IT services industry which is dominated by large multinationals and thus remains highly exposed to intense competition. <\/li>
            2. Saksoft\u2019s top 5 clients contribute approximately 50% thereby losing a a top client could significantly impact revenues. However, this is a challenge in most small caps and the possible solution is the addition of more clients.<\/li>
            3. The impact of recession might affect the financial result of the company.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Industry Analysis:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

              As per Gartner\u2019s April 2022 release, worldwide IT spending is expected to touch USD 4.4 trillion in 2022, witnessing a growth of 4% from 2021. This year is shaping up to be one of the most eventful years on record for CIOs. Geopolitical disruption, inflation, currency fluctuations and supply chain challenges are major factors vying for their time and attention, yet contrary to what the beginning of 2020 witnessed, CIOs are accelerating IT investments as they recognize the importance of flexibility and agility in retorting to disruption. Organizations are adapting to futuristic technologies faster than ever. As a result, purchasing and investing preferences will be prioritized in 2022 in the areas including Cloud computing, Seamless Customer experiences, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Blockchain, Big Data Analytics, Robotics Process Automation (RPA), Data Security & Cyber Protection and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              IT spending across segments is projected to grow in 2022 and beyond. Inflation effects on IT hardware from the past two years are finally diminishing and spilling over into software and services. With the current shortage of IT talent prompting more competitive salaries, technology service providers are raising their prices, which is helping to boost spending growth in these segments through 2022 and 2023.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
