BWI: GuideMeSingapore: Region’s Growth Strengthens Singapore’s Position as Investment Hub

GuideMeSingapore: Region's Growth Strengthens Singapore's Position as Investment Hub
Singapore, Friday, November 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- The continued growth of economic activity in Southeast Asia is contributing to new investments and corporate activity in Singapore, says leading Singapore business incorporation portal www.GuideMeSingapore.com.
As Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia continue to post strong numbers, businesses in these countries looking to raise capital or widen their operations are turning to Singapore, the region's financial hub.
Even with the global economic slump dampening overall investment activity, a total of S$2.7 billion from initial public offerings (IPOs) in Singapore has been raised so far this year. Many of these are Asian companies looking to raise capital in the global market, while also benefiting from advantages such as the ability to list in dual currencies on the SGX.
Another area where Singapore continues to perform well is corporate merger and acquisition (M&A) activities. According to Mergermarket, a total of US$24.6 billion in deals took place in Singapore during the first nine months of 2012. This can be attributed to Singapore's status as the region's financial and legal hub, notably its fast-rising reputation as an international arbitration jurisdiction. The city now ranks behind only Japan in terms of M&A growth.
"With the strong growth in many Southeast Asian economies, large companies in these countries are seeking to expand by raising more capital. For them, it makes sense to be listed in Singapore because the city is strategically located in the heart of the region. At the same time its standing as an international hub means that these companies can raise their global profile and widen their investor base," said Ms. Jacqueline Low, Chief Operating Officer of Janus Corporate Solutions, a leading Singapore incorporation, accounting and immigration services firm and the parent company of GuideMeSingapore.com.
"The latest example is Filipino food producer Alliance Select Foods International, which is seeking to list on the SGX-Catalist board next year. The listing would make it the first publicly-traded Filipino company to debut in Singapore," she explained. "Meanwhile, Jakarta-based Harita Group's nickel-mining division plans to raise as much as US$250 million when it debuts on the SGX."
"In India, which is located just outside the ASEAN region, big-name companies are also looking to Singapore for expansions. Religare Health Trust, which is operated by Indian healthcare giant Fortis Healthcare, raised over S$510 million in their IPO this past October," continued Ms. Low. "Reliance Communications is just waiting for the right time to go forward with their anticipated US$1 billion IPO, while Indian private equity firm Everstone Capital Partners is set to acquire the Harry's brand of pubs and restaurants in Singapore."
"Of course, the more popular option for Asian companies looking to establish a global presence, particularly SMEs, is still through incorporation in Singapore. In the last quarter, there were 14,243 new business registrations in Singapore. Whether it is a subsidiary company, a branch office, or simply a representative office to do networking and market research, there are plenty of options for foreign company registration in Singapore. Regardless of whether a company decides to simply list here, or create a presence through incorporation, what is clear is that Singapore is definitely the regional destination for investment and corporate activities," she concluded.

"The latest example is Filipino food producer Alliance Select Foods International, which is seeking to list on the SGX-Catalist board next year. The listing would make it the first publicly-traded Filipino company to debut in Singapore," she explained. "Meanwhile, Jakarta-based Harita Group's nickel-mining division plans to raise as much as US$250 million when it debuts on the SGX."
"In India, which is located just outside the ASEAN region, big-name companies are also looking to Singapore for expansions. Religare Health Trust, which is operated by Indian healthcare giant Fortis Healthcare, raised over S$510 million in their IPO this past October," continued Ms. Low. "Reliance Communications is just waiting for the right time to go forward with their anticipated US$1 billion IPO, while Indian private equity firm Everstone Capital Partners is set to acquire the Harry's brand of pubs and restaurants in Singapore."
"Of course, the more popular option for Asian companies looking to establish a global presence, particularly SMEs, is still through incorporation in Singapore. In the last quarter, there were 14,243 new business registrations in Singapore. Whether it is a subsidiary company, a branch office, or simply a representative office to do networking and market research, there are plenty of options for foreign company registration in Singapore. Regardless of whether a company decides to simply list here, or create a presence through incorporation, what is clear is that Singapore is definitely the regional destination for investment and corporate activities," she concluded.

BWI: Emerging LED Lighting Market in India to push Urban Planning towards Eco-Efficiency and Low-carbon Trajectory
Press release from Business Wire India

Emerging LED Lighting Market in India to push Urban Planning towards Eco-Efficiency and Low-carbon Trajectory
Indian construction market expected to grow to USD 500 billion by 2025. It was USD 100 billion in 2010
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, November 29, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- An "energy" revolution akin to the Green and White revolutions that occurred few years ago altering the agriculture and dairy sectors, is the need of the hour in India. And, Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting will be at the heart of such a revolution. Mandatory norms of energy efficiency for new buildings/facilities, incentive support for energy-efficient projects, Integrated Lighting Management Systems (ILMS) for street lighting, and phasing out of energy-guzzling lighting products could trigger an energy-efficiency revolution in India.
The LED lighting market in India is at a nascent stage and these lighting systems are yet to make inroads into the market, which is currently dominated by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and T5 fluorescent lamps (T-FL). Poor penetration is due to high upfront cost of LED lighting systems, absence of standards, testing, measurement and verification protocols, and low level of awareness.
LED lighting systems are anticipated to play significant role in reducing India's overall energy requirements. Energy consumption can be reduced by usage of LED lighting for street lighting, in conjunction with ILMS. Implementing energy saving performance contracts (ESPC) for residential and commercial segments and integrating LED lighting controls and systems with building management systems will further lower energy costs of a building. Some LED lighting suppliers are bundling ESPC services along with their lighting products and energy-saving solutions, to diversify their revenue stream.
Current policies on energy efficiency might become redundant considering the construction sector's growth rate in India. The construction market is booming again and has been forecast to increase from USD 100 billion in 2010 to USD 154 billion by 2015, and USD 500 billion by 2025. Investments in green buildings are projected to increase to USD 30 billion by 2015.
Currently, seven mega cities are proposed to be built along the 1,500-km long Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) with the help of Japanese government and Japanese corporations such as Matsushita, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi. A total of 24 mega cities have been planned - along the line of states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Maharashtra - with the seven proposed cities to be completed by 2018-19 in the first phase. The whole DMIC project cost is estimated at USD 90 billion.
Prices of LED lighting systems have fallen by more than 30 percent in the past 2-3 years due to increasing adoption and manufacturing technology improvements. Mass commercialization and acceptance will lead to a further fall in prices, which will make these products more affordable for commercial segments as well as low and middle-income households in the residential segment. With 20 percent of electricity consumption in a building attributed to lighting systems, there is indeed a great potential for LED lighting to gain prominence in India. One of the major schemes that the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) is implementing during the 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) (2007-12) includes - Bachat Lamp Yojana, an ongoing program to promote energy-efficient and high-quality CFLs as replacement for incandescent bulbs. Going forward, in the 12th and 13th FYPs, the Government must make efforts to replace these CFLs with LEDs.
Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC), which sets minimum energy performance standards for new commercial buildings, has stipulated energy use of 110 kWh/m2/year as against the national benchmark of 180 kWh/m2/year. BEE is also targeting to reduce energy consumption by municipal street lighting systems, which currently adopt energy-guzzling lamps.
The Indian market is highly driven by the principle of 'value for money'. Offerings in future will be aimed at providing better quality and durable LEDs at low prices. The LED market in India was completely import-dependent in the past. However, few companies in India are now entering into joint ventures with foreign companies. Cheap imports from China, Taiwan, and Korea by distributors and dealers have been found to be of poor quality that has hurt the confidence of genuine users. Absence of regulations and standards form a conducive market environment for such unorganized sectors to thrive. Today, India being a growing market for LEDs, many overseas companies are setting up manufacturing plants to cater to the growing needs of commercial, municipal (street lighting), and residential customers.
Cities of the future will most certainly witness dramatic changes in urban planning. It is thus imperative to incorporate smart concepts and greater information technology (IT) usage to monitor usage, reduce leaks/slippages, and aid in efficient delivery mechanism through effective demand management. This means that going forward, lighting companies would have to work in sync with software companies, and energy service companies (ESCOs), building management solution providers, and public agencies/urban local bodies, to bring various "smart" concepts to fruition.

Top IT Magazine Declares Siemens the Leading PLM Vendor throughout India
Dataquest Magazine Ranks Siemens' PLM Technology Number One in one of the World's Fastest Growing Economies Two Years in a Row
Gurgaon, Haryana, India, Thursday, November 29, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- For the second consecutive year, in its DQ Top 20 PLM Industry Report, Dataquest magazine, India's top information technology (IT) publication, has declared that Siemens PLM Software is the leading PLM vendor throughout India, one of the world's fastest growing economies. The findings are based on an in-depth analysis of India's PLM market and are detailed in Dataquest's DQ Top 20 PLM Industry Report.
The DQ Top 20 Industry Report is an in-depth analysis of India's PLM market. The most recent report states that PLM solutions are increasingly permeating the manufacturing ecosystem in India, and in fact, India's PLM market grew 8 percent from 2010 to 2011.
The automotive industry continued to be the key driver of PLM solution adoption in India, followed by heavy engineering and industrial machinery. These industries also saw an increase in the adoption of PLM solutions by mid-tier manufacturers.

Siemens offers two PLM applications that support 3D design, NXT software, a leading integrated set of solutions for computer-aided design, manufacturing and engineering analysis (CAD/CAM/CAE), and Solid Edge® software, a 3D CAD system for the mainstream market.

Siemens' set of open PLM solutions help enable this expansion with offerings like its Teamcenter® portfolio, the world's most widely used digital lifecycle management software, and the Tecnomatix® portfolio, its industry leading digital manufacturing software.

WebNMS Forays into the Machine-to-Machine Solutions Space with the Launch of ATM Site Manager
Helps remotely monitor ATMs, increase profitability and decrease maintenance cost: Product developed from Chennai for the Global Banking Industry
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, Wednesday, November 28, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- WebNMS, a division of Zoho Corp. and a leading global provider of network and element management solutions, today announced its foray into the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions space with the launch of ATM Site Manager, a revolutionary M2M product for ATMs, developed from Chennai for the global banking industry.
Machine-to-machine (M2M) technologies promise a future where machines will now be connected through the internet and will actively communicate with each other, transmitting vital data to a central location. Each device must be equipped with a communication module or a sensor for data collection. The data generated from this communication allow enterprises to gain actionable insights and the two-way communication between machines eliminates the need for human intervention in many routine service operations.
According to a research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight: The global number of wireless M2M connections is forecasted to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.2% to reach 359.3 million in 2016.
According to 6Wresearch, in a report titled India Machine to Machine (M2M) Modules Market (2011-2016): The Indian M2M solutions market is expected to reach $98.38 million by 2016 with a (CAGR) of 33.81% from 2011-2016.

The ATM Site Manager will remotely monitor passive infrastructure like Air conditioners, Camera, Lighting systems, Battery banks, Door lock systems, etc. across thousands of ATM sites and will generate actionable information in real time. The product is built on the WebNMS Framework, which is a highly scalable network management product, deployed more than 25,000 times for telecom service providers across the globe.
With an effective remote monitoring system like WebNMS ATM Site Manager, ATM operators can now take centralized control of the networks and improve operational excellence, while saving on maintenance costs. WebNMS ATM Site Manager solution consists of a hardware unit, the Remote Telemetry Unit (RTU) which communicates to machines via sensors and relays and a Central Management software based on the WebNMS Framework. The RTU communicates to the central management system through Ethernet/GRPS/SMS.
Speaking at the launch, Sudhakar S Marthi, Vice President, Sales and Marketing - APAC, Zoho Corp. said, "Industry leaders predict that the number of connected devices will surpass 15 billion nodes by 2015 and reach over 50 billion by 2020, with the majority of the surge in connections expected to come from Machine-to-Machine applications. The increased availability of end-to-end solutions and internet of things has set an environment for a more accessible M2M market for enterprises, globally."
Prabhu Ramachandran, Director-WebNMS, WebNMS affirmed saying, "The drastic rise in ATM transaction costs which covers property, telecom, security, power management and cash management results in lower operational savings and pressurized profitability. WebNMS' M2M product provides reliable and value-added solutions to take control of assets over the air and to get the most out of communications between machines. The WebNMS ATM Site Manager will reduce the operating cost of ATMs, increase profitability and is aimed at monitoring and controlling passive infrastructure lying across thousands of ATMs and at operating large network of devices."

Access to a primary healthcare system in India is perceived a challenge, the Virtual Medical Kiosk devised by ehealth Access aims to change this perception forever," said Mr. Jayadeep Reddy, CEO and Founder, ehealth Access. "I am very excited to present the first of its kind Virtual Medical Kiosk system - a dream which has come true with a lot of hard work and I would like to appreciate and congratulate my team for showcasing how well we can use technology to deliver healthcare," he added.
Commenting on the launch Mr. Ramprabhu T.K, Co-founder and Technology Director, ehealth Access said "There is limited access to doctors in major portions of semi-urban and rural India. The medical kiosk will act as a bridge to bring the medical practitioner closer to the people in need for medical consultation. Using technology as an enabler and accelerator we are leveraging the massive penetration of mobile and internet usage with technology innovations in connected devices and help doctors reach out to more patients. This will be the corner stone for making India Healthy by 2020."
With the launch of this unique product, ehealth is looking at penetrating and serving a wider mass of population. The way health care is delivered is a lot dependent on the physical access and availability of the medical practitioner. It's based on face-to-face interaction between the doctors and the patient. But with this device the patients can consult a wide array of doctors at the touch of a button from wherever they are, whenever they want. The device could be deployed in a variety of places: in a corporate for employee use, at a retail store, old age homes, or even in a gated community. The Virtual Medical Kiosk also aims to reach out as a channel to help Government towards the implementation of Universal Health Care programme (UHC) with the help of NGOs in remote places. The Virtual Medical Kiosk serves as the second phase in ehealth's efforts to help patients connect seamlessly to doctors following the launch of its service www.dialurdoctor.com.
