Any inability to manage our growth could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.

                  We have grown significantly in recent periods. Between March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2005 our total employees grew from approximately 9,800 to approximately 36,800. As of June 30, 2005, our total employees strength has grown to approximately 39,800. In addition, in the last five fiscal years we have undertaken and continue to undertake major expansions of our existing facilities, as well as the construction of new facilities.

                  We expect our growth to place significant demands on our management and other resources. Our growth will require us to continuously develop and improve our operational, financial and other internal controls, both in India and elsewhere. In particular, continued growth increases the challenges involved in:

 
recruiting, training and retaining sufficient skilled technical, marketing and management personnel;
 
adhering to and further improving our high quality and process execution standards;
 
preserving our culture, values and entrepreneurial environment;
 
successfully expanding the range of services offered to our clients;
 
developing and improving our internal administrative infrastructure, particularly our financial, operational, communications and other internal systems; and



maintaining high levels of client satisfaction.
   
                 Our growth strategy also relies on the expansion of our operations to other parts of the world, including Europe, Australia and other parts of Asia. In October 2003, we established Infosys China and in January 2004 we acquired Infosys Australia to expand our operations in those countries. In April 2004, we formed Infosys Consulting to focus on consulting services in the United States and announced our intention to hire aggressively in the United States. The costs involved in entering and establishing ourselves in new markets may be higher than expected and we may face significant competition in these regions. Our inability to manage our expansion and related growth in these regions may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
