Bangalore: The ongoing migration of Indian citizens from paper cards to smart cards is throwing up a multibillion dollar business opportunity for domestic technology players.

The citizen ID card program proposed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will be supported by a vast eco-system, comprising data collectors or managers, delivery channels, chip designers, smart card manufacturers, application and software providers, system integrators, networking analysts and print companies. The entire ID card project in India is estimated to be around Rs. 10,000 crore, with the first phase covering ultra-urban, urban, and semi-urban population offering Rs. 6,500 crore business opportunities.

IT companies like TCS and Infosys have confirmed that they would actively bid for the project. “The entire process including the bidding process, deal negotiations and business evaluation, are expected to be transparent. There will not be any conflict of interest for us and therefore, we will participate in the bid,” said a Senior Official at Infosys Technologies.

TCS has already been working with the government on projects like e-passport, Gujarat police and the Defence Ministry. “Since it is going to be an open bidding process, we will be bidding for it,” said a Senior Official at TCS.

Around 27 large e-governance projects worth Rs. 40,000 crore are currently in the pipeline. Having been badly hit by the economic recession, many technology leaders have been urging the government to accelerate these projects to induce economic buoyancy. The UIDAI comes as a quick response to the industry’s call.

Som Mittal, the President of IT industry body Nasscom, told Times of India, “This is a transformational project for the country as it will overlay many underlying projects, creating huge efficiencies for the country leading to enhanced governance and reduced costs.”

The global shipment of smart card surpassed an estimated five billion units in 2008 and this figure is projected to surge at CAGR of nearly 11 percent through 2012, according to “Smart Card Market Forecast to 2012″, a recent market research report.

Kolkata: The high-powered committee set up by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) to probe the multi-crore Satyam Computer fraud would submit its report July 9.

“We will submit the report to the ministry of corporate affairs on July 9 after we finalise it at the final internal meeting of the committee on July 4 in Agra,” ICAI president U.P. Agarwal told reporters on the sidelines of a function here Sunday.

ICAI is the apex organisations of chartered accountants.

Agarwal heads the seven-member committee that is looking into the financial reporting, accounting and auditing aspects of the Satyam scam. It will review the shortcomings and recommend measures for plugging loopholes against such frauds.

“We want chartered accountants to be empowered so that they can force the management to change the company’s accounting practices if they think this was required.”

Agarwal, however, refused to get into details of the report.

Intel and Advanced Micro Devices’ latest server processors have come in for criticism from Facebook, the social networking company, for failing to deliver on promised performance.

According to Jonathan Heiliger, vice president of technical operations, the latest generations of server processors from companies like Intel and AMD have failed to deliver anticipated performance gains. “The performance gains they’re touting in the press, we’re not seeing in our applications,” he said at the GigaOm’s Structure conference in San Francisco recently.

A massive consumer of servers, Facebook is constantly looking to upgrade its infrastructure as well as minimize power consumption to cut costs.

The hardware industry, too, has failed to deliver servers that are highly power-efficient for companies such as Facebook and Amazon, Heiliger said. “To build servers for companies like Facebook, and Amazon, and other people who are operating fairly homogeneous applications, the servers have to be cheap, and they have to be super power-efficient.”

According to Heilinger, Google, which has designed and built its own servers, has done a good job.

In order to meet the needs of companies deploying large computing clusters, Heiliger said they should come together to develop common standards that vendors can design for.

Ziva Software is eyeing 10 million hits by 2010 with Zook, its mobile search engine. The company has also partnered with operators like Virgin, Idea Cellular, Spice, Aircel, and Airtel (Sri Lanka), etc.

Ajay Sethi, COO of Ziva Software said, “As a startup we are using our business intelligence in mobile space. Zook provides exact answers to every user query. Zook fetches answers (and not links/URLs of the matching web-pages) from the across the web.”

Zook also utilizes community participation and an active feedback loop to constantly improve the quality of results. Even more importantly, answers sent as response to SMS-based searches are reviewed by us. This helps Zook to ensure that every user query is provided with an exact and relevant answer immediately, said Sethi.

Zook has been promoted to the Aircel subscribers via the on-deck portal presence since January 2009. As per the partnership, Zook will use fetch engine paradigm to provide off-deck search experience to Aircel users and in the process.

Zook powers the SMS-based local search service for Virgin Mobile (on 58686 with Ask prefix) and with Idea Cellular, Zook provides local search and community-assisted search solutions for IdeaFresh portal.

Besides Zook will power the specialized portal for Idea’s roaming users, personalized and custom alerts service (such as stock subscriptions) provided to SMS users and has been available to the Idea Cellular subscribers since September 2007.

A recent report indicates that India has a mobile subscriber base of 400 million of which 30-40 million have GPRS enabled phones. However, since only about 50% of these actually use these facilities, the actual user base would be 20-23 million in India, said Sethi.

“We are working with mobile operators and also manufacturers. So shortly Nokia and Samsung will have Zook as their default browser at the back end,” he said.

Sethi said that unlike Google, Microsoft and Yahoo who are presently more in the online space, Zook is exclusive in the mobile Internet space. Zook combines innovative algorithms with human intelligence to improve the quality of the search results. Zook makes the entire universe of information from the web, partners and community as needed by users on mobile phones available as exact answers.

“Our team of 15 techies use the fetch engine to search from Yahoo and Microsoft engines, but since Google does not have a open free API, we don’t search on Google,” he said.

Zook services are presently available only in India. Most of the hits come from the three metros of Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai and an equally warm response has been from smaller tier II cities in Western UP, Tamilnadu, Gujarat and Maharashtra.

The company was initially funded by Ojas Partners to a tune of Rs 7.5 crore and may go in for the second round of funding in July 2009. Revenues are going in and the traffic is also growing so will decide if we need funding next month, said Sethi.
