2018 will be a better year for IT companies, say industry figures.

 
With the US economy doing well, Indian IT companies can look forward to a better year in 2018 on the back of growing tech spend and demand from clients, according to senior industry figures.
 
Noting that the largest market for Indian IT companies is the US, former CFO of Infosys V Balakrishnan said their ability to grab growth opportunities is critical.
 
“(The) US economy is doing extremely well. I think they are still growing 2-2.5%, good growth for that economy,” he told PTI.
 
“If you look at the Gartner report, they talked about overall IT spend going up by 4-4.5% this year. I think there is growth. The ability of the company to take on growth is critical. I think growth opportunities are there,” added Balakrishnan.
 
He said if the world’s largest economy is doing well, Indian IT companies “have a hope”.
 
“They (the US) are talking about raising interest rates because growth is good, unemployment rate is very low, (US President Donald) Trump is talking about cutting corporate tax, so the economy is doing well. As long as the US economy does well, there will be opportunities for Indian IT companies,” Balakrishnan said.
 
On NASSCOM projecting Indian IT export to grow 7-8% in 2017-18 and domestic market expanding 10-11%, he said “it looks okay for the year”.
