Latin America Overview

Disadvantages• This market is a difficult place to do business because of unpredictable nature• Most of these countries have complex regulations and difficult

bureaucracies.• Lack of order or information and enforcing a contract takes a lot of time. And

very often the validity of the contract is in question. • The gestation period to close a sale varies from six months to a year.

Advantages• The fact that we are from India is one of the reason for our success in IT.• They are both changing.• They are both clubbed together as emerging markets• Emerging markets do not always emerge in a linear fashion.• So they both provide the opportunity for growth

Rapid Growth Opportunity In Latin America

Understanding and Beliefs

• Mann-India has ensured that the opportunity that is represented in these emerging markets are well absorbed.

• Why choose to grab the tiger by the tail and ride the emerging market seesaw? Why not settle for the comfortable predictability of the mature market?

• The roller-coaster ride is a lot more fun that the merry-go-round of a mature market. – In the 1960s, China grew at an average growth rate of 5.2 per cent, India

at 3.4 per cent. – By the 1990s, these growth rates had accelerated to 10.3 per cent for

China and 10 per cent for India.

• In a short term of seven years, Mann-india today has state of the art solutions to offer.

• This differential compound growth rates is the euphoria that can only be felt in emerging markets.

Our Strategy

Our initial strategy had a two pronged approaches:

Model A:

• We looked for value added, mid -large Channel partners.

• We were aggressive in convincing them that we were not competing with them in the local

market but only ensuring that at the back end they had a large portfolio of service offerings and

products. We had companies increase their band width of products they take to the market.

• The most Companies were North American driven. With an average revenue base of 20 Million

USD, they always wanted to sell/ resell brands- be it Microsoft, SAP and so on. Secondly, this

awe that they had for the North America does not allow them to have too much of innovation

or motivation.

• The speed of penetration was not good enough and it was imperative that we acted quickly.

• The mindset of people had to be changed-Providing a viable alternative to large packaged

commercial applications was a key.

• Providing rapid turnaround times on translation of new marketplace ideas allowed us to prove

our model.

Our Strategy

Model B:

We tied up with dynamic resources who could work out of the box. They were from the top

positions in their jobs and were able to actively convince customers about the advantages they had

with working with lower costing innovative vendors. And with this we crossed the barrier of being

a foreign company.

• Our technology and application strategy was based on the fact that even though industries such as the

banking, retail were very well developed , yet their IT road map were based on old systems and Legacy

platforms.

• Thus we at Mann-India introduced to this market the need and demand for IT modernization. We

convinced clients that their Cost of operations could be reduced when expense on Information Technology

is reduced.

• Moving away from the ‘One size Fits all’ approach of large transnational software vendors to a people and

business centric approach that allows our customers to harness their latent strengths and experience.

• At the same time, we allow Corporations the POWER to break away from the stranglehold of established

monopolies and restrictions of proprietary legacy platforms and in addition get low cost value added

solutions.
