Key metrics that reflect Technology industry’s fundamentals

ITTechnology companies form an idea, commercialize it through various resources (including Sales & Marketing) and then engage in R&D for further enhancement and innovation. They follow various compliance standards and government regulations across countries. India harbors one of the largest technology hubs in the world and supplies its technology offerings to the developed nations like US and Europe and emerging markets including herself. So, its fundamentals will be reflected by (not necessarily in this order of precedence):

  • Supply and demand of experienced and talented human resources in India
  • Cost of resources in India
  • Supply and demand of technology across borders
  • Political stability across borders
  • Cost of production in India (including proprietary technology)
  • Cost of distribution from India (including mobile technology)
  • Cost of R&D in India
  • Cost of data processing in India
  • Access to capital in India
  • Valuation of highly cyclical technology companies like semi-conductor
  • Access to high-speed, uninterrupted internet connectivity across borders
  • Sales of hardware equipments and accessories in India
  • Resource utilization
  • Other metrics like utility cost, real estate sales, etc.
