BENGALURU: About 196 IT deals worth more than $100 million each, and adding up to $51 billion, are coming up for renewal in 2018. Of the 196 deals, only four are currently led by Indian IT firms, though these firms may be present as secondary partners in some of the other deals.Also, the opportunity for Indian IT sector is rising because many of the large deals today are being broken up into smaller contracts. "The vendors that will tend to continue to win will be the traditional global majors that can structure asset-intensive infrastructure deals ( IBM , Atos, DXC , NTT Data). In the government and defence sector, you would not expect the Indian service providers to be as relevant. "A lot of the workload is being moved to cloud and that market is in the hands of vendors like AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc.
