3. INDUSTRY SCENARIO

Today information technology (IT) industry is re-imagining itself to become the digital solutions partner globally. It continues to be the ligament of ongoing innovation and disruption. According to Nasscom, India''s IT-BPM industry is projected to grow ~8% in FY2017 to USD 154 billion. Indian IT services is expected to reach USD 80 billion in FY2017 as service providers are converting from process and delivery driven to strategic and transformational solution providers. Nasscom has projected global IT-BPM industry to increase to USD 4 trillion by CY2025, a CAGR of 3.6% for the forecast period of CY2015 - CY2025 driven by the adoption of digital technologies. India''s IT-BPM sector is projected to reach USD 200-225 billion revenue by FY2020 and USD 350-400 billion by FY2025.

According to Gartner, Worldwide IT spending is forecast to total USD 3.46 trillion in CY2017, an increase of 1.4% over CY2016 spending of USD 3.41 trillion. By CY2018, spending is forecast to exceed USD 3.56 trillion, a growth of 2.9% over CY2017 spending. Gartner has forecasted the global IT services spending to grow at 2.3% in CY2017, down from 3.6% growth in CY2016. India''s share in the global IT spend has been increasing gradually touching the double-digit mark, 10% in FY2016 from 7.2% in FY2012. According to Celent, global insurance IT spending is estimated to reach to USD

184.8 billion in CY2017 and USD 208.1 billion in CY2018. Three overarching trends - digitalization, data analytics, and legacy and ecosystem transformation are dominating investments.

Moderate global economic growth is expected to support insurance sector growth over the next two years. According to Swiss Re''s publication Global insurance review and outlook for 2017/18 report, growth in global non-life premiums is forecast to fall slightly from 2.4% in CY2016 to 2.2% in CY2017 and accelerate to 3.0% in CY2018. In the life insurance sector, global premiums are expected to grow by 4.8% in CY2017 and 4.2% in CY2018. The premium growth is expected to be driven by emerging markets. An improvement in commodity prices and strengthening economic activity is expected to stimulate the demand for insurance from the emerging regions. In Advanced market, premiums are expected to grow by 2.1% in CY2017 and CY2018. Today in the disruptive technology environment, large number of insurers are investing in building digital infrastructure and striving for growth by developing new business models using digital platforms. However, insurers are yet to fully capitalize upon the transformative power of digital technology, and many are still struggling to develop digital strategies that align with their business objectives. The insurance industry recognizes the need to overhaul traditional business models, to capitalize on the advantages of digital technology and respond to the challenges of digital disruption. The future of the insurance business lies in technology-driven processes restructuring. Internet of Things (loT), cloud computing, digital integration and big data environments are opening more opportunities for the insurance companies. The major shift in consumer patterns in the last few years has forced the insurance industry to move forward and adapt the new digital age. Most of the insurers have started investing in SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud) to stay competitive with the changing technology environment. Today Cloud computing is playing vital role in transforming insurance industry. Cloud computing enables insurers to reduce cost by using pay-as-use models and enhance business agility without compromising customer data and security. It helps to remove the complexity of on-premises deployment and management. Thus, in CY2017 insurers are expected to deploy their services rapidly giving high priority to consumers changing demand to stay competitive and ensure a successful digital evolution.

4. BUSINESS OUTLOOK

Majesco continues to focus exclusively on serving the global insurance industry with core business solutions and consulting services that help modernize and bring change to Property and Casualty (P&C), Life and Annuity (L&A), and Group insurance carriers. Insurers clearly recognize that the insurance industry is changing and that they need to adapt to enable growth and remain competitive. In this new landscape, modernizing legacy systems provides the "table stakes" foundation to enable innovation and speed to market for new products, channels, and processes, in response to fast changing customer expectations, needs and risk profiles. Today''s new market paradigm requires a modern foundation with expanding digital and data capabilities, enabling an insurance renaissance not unlike other industries, the insurance industry is rapidly evolving and changing. As insurance customer expectations change, so do the carriers'' requirement to respond quickly with lower risk and speed-to-value business platforms that provide the ability to innovate new products, reach new markets, create new customer experiences, and liberate different business models.

In this rapidly evolving environment, undertaking multi-year, multi-million dollar transformation programsto replace legacy systems no longer serves the need of carriers. As a result, Majesco proactively began realigning its business strategy to this market shift to focus on speed to value using our cloud based platform, Majesco Cloudlnsurer. The Company believes this platform will lead the next wave of innovation and investment in insurance. With the Majesco Cloudlnsurer platform, the company has successfully partnered with over 30 clients, including existing legacy insurers, new startups or greenfields backed by existing insurers or by venture capital funds to empower their business strategies by helping them innovate, grow and transform their business models to capture the opportunities today and in the future

The industry is also in the midst of a market shift that is pushing a some-times slow-to-adapt industry by challenging the traditional business assumptions, operations, processes and products of the last 50 years. The digital age shift in insurance is separating the insurance business models of the past 50 years that have been based on the business assumptions, products, processes, channels of the Silent and Baby Boomer generations from those of the next generation, the Millennial and Gen Z, as well as many in Gen X. This shift indicates that the business models of the past will not meet the needs or expectations ofthe future.

Building these new business models will continue to intensify. Majesco is increasingly working with existing insurers and reinsurers who are taking new paths to capture the next generation of customers and position themselves for growth and sustainable agility across the new insurance landscape. Because new competitors don''t play by the traditional rules of the past, insurers need to be a part of rewriting the rules for the future. There is less risk in a game where you write the rules.

The IBM - Majesco partnership has successfully kicked off with the inception work with a Tier 1 insurer, specifically on a platform-as-a-service model. The company views this partnership as a strategic avenue for growth in the future.

The Company also expects good growth coming from its consulting services that support business process transformation as well as data and digital needs of the market.

In the new fiscal year, the company is enthused about the strategy, the market potential of its portfolio of solutions, its cloud platform and Partner Ecosystem, and expanding partnership with IBM around cognitive, core and cloud that help differentiate Majesco''s value proposition for current and prospective customers. The company expects momentum in the cloud business will remain strong as it takes advantage of the shift underway in insurance software. It also expects to see improvement in non-cloud business as demand increases for Majesco''s data and digital solutions.

The company has an excellent leadership team and an exceptional workforce that continues to drive growth while expanding the existing customer relationships. It will continue to focus on enhancing the capabilities of its product offerings, data and digital offerings and investing in its sales and marketing engine. As a result, the company expects that it will experience a reacceleration in growth in fiscal 2018
