Indian Internet Has Finally Arrived!
Summary
India is the least penetrated Internet economy among the large nations but has
finally hit the inflection point, in our view. The last decade of the Internet ramp-up
has been painfully slow in India (vs. US/China) constrained by poor IT
infrastructure, low broadband penetration, low PC shipments, lack of home-grown
innovations, lack of local content/reasons, and VC money chasing more mature
non-Internet companies with equally compelling growth prospects. However, in our
view, the next 10-years will bring massive growth in the Internet sector in India
supported by highly favorable demographics, growing Internet/broadband
penetration, launch of one of the world’s best 3G networks, growing middle
class/income levels, noticeable pick-up in tech/gadget and mobile culture, and surge
in home-grown Internet start-ups. In our view, India's Internet market is 10 years
behind US's and 6 years behind China's in terms of several key factors namely –
overall Internet adoption, broadband penetration, Internet adverting, E-Commerce,
quality content, and sophistication & functionality of websites. However, until
2015, we expect CAGR of 15% for Internet users, 20% for Internet advertising,
25% for E-Commerce and OTAs. There are four public Internet companies in India
i.e. SIFY, REDF and MMYT listed on NASDAQ and Info Edge listed in Hong
Kong & India. We are initiating on MMYT with a Buy and $46 PT.
Key Points
• Inflection point. In our view, India Internet has finally hit the inflection point.
With 81mm Internet users base, increasing time spent online, upcoming best
3G mobile network, younger demographic, growing wealth, and surge in
Internet start-ups, India is saliently creating a solid ‘Net economy & ecosystem.
• Internet users and penetration. In our view, India has taken much more time
to reach 7% Internet penetration than the US, China, and many emerging
markets. We believe that by 2015, India will have achieved 15%-18%
penetration i.e. 180mm to 200mm Internet users.
• Internet advertising. The global ad industry is $700bn and Internet is $50bn of
that. The Indian ad industry is $5bn and Internet ad is a miniscule $200mm. We
expect Internet advertising to grow at 30% for the next several years.
• E-Commerce. E-Commerce adoption is fairly low in India. In our view, E-
Commerce is trying to grow in India at the same time as the organized retail
revolution – E-Commerce is only $1.4bn vs. $350bn retail sector in India.
• Online Travel. The most exciting segment of India's Internet sector is online
travel which accounts for $4bn vs. $20bn total travel industry.
• Mobile Internet. Supported by good wireless infrastructure, economical voice/
data plans, availability of cheap handsets, and lower PC installed base, India's
mobile market is in many ways more advanced than many mature markets.
• Noteworthy private Internet Co's. While there are many Internet companies
with massive growth, the following are some of the noteworthy private ones in
India – Yatra, Cleartrip, Via, Indiamart, Shaadi, Interactive Avenues, Komli,
Quikr, Sulekha, JustDial, and BharatMatrimony. The established Internet Co's
with traditional media roots are – Times, HT Media, NDTV, Network18.

Section 1: Economic and Demographic Overview
Indian economy has been on a massive growth trajectory for the past one decade infused by young demographics, rising capital
investments in key sectors (including infrastructure), increasing wealth, robust job market, high savings rates, government-led
liberalization of the economy, high-tech revolution, and increasing foreign investments.
India was the center of global economic activities until 1600 AD
India accounted for anywhere from 35% to 25% of world GDP between 1 AD and 1600 AD but since then its share of the global
economy kept going down and reached under 3% by the 1980s.

Today, India is re-emerging very fast and is firmly positioned among the 5 largest world economies
India and China are the emerging-world powers with growth rates well above developed countries'. Nowadays India accounts for
about 5% of world GDP and is expected to reach 10% by 2020. The country is currently the fifth largest world economy (by 2009
GDP at PPP) after only the EU, the US, China, and Japan and has the 10th best GDP real growth rate in the world. India is also
the second most populous country in the world and one of the youngest among the major world economies (the median age of its
population is 25.9 years). Although the country ranks fourth in terms of total Internet users, Internet penetration in India (at 7%) is
the lowest among the emerging economies and has a great potential for growth.

Section 2: Overview of the Internet Sector in India
In our view, Internet has only scratched the surface in India so far. However, that has been the case for the past decade during
which Internet adoption in the country has been painfully slow. India has not only one of the lowest Internet penetration levels
among the major world economies but also a very small Internet economy when it comes to the overall economic impact and new
job creation. More specifically, Internet advertising and E-Commerce remain very small industries. However, India's Internet has
given boost to online travel as well as B2B businesses and both of these segments have seen astronomical growth.
Indian Internet Population & Penetration
India has the 4th largest Internet population in the world after China, the US, and Japan. However, India is the slowest among the
large nations in terms of Internet adoption. As of June 2010, Internet penetration in the country has only reached 7% – way below
any major developed or emerging economy in the world.
The country accounts for 17% of the worldwide population and for only 4% of Internet users. Still, Internet has been growing
very fast in India (1,520% between 2000 and 2010) and we expect penetration to accelerate even further with the current
infrastructure improvements and growth in wealth and education levels in the country.

Broadband Penetration in India
At 5.1Mbps USA is ranked 28th
in the world for bandwidth speed (Korea at 21.4Mbps, Japan at 15.8Mbps, Sweden at 12.8Mbps,
and the Netherlands at 11Mbps lead the pack) while India continues to struggle with 256kbps and highly limited broadband
penetration at 9mm subscribers (out of 81mm Internet users in India). We do not see PC-based broadband becoming more
ubiquitous in India any time soon, however, India is in the middle of implementing one of the most advanced 3G mobile networks
in the world and we believe with that mobile Internet will get a much needed impetus as an industry.
Worldwide Internet Population and Penetration
Internet adoption has been increasing not only in India but throughout the world. Over the past 10 years, the number of Internet
users worldwide has grown 445% and there is still plenty of room for growth – Internet penetration as of June 2010 has just
reached 29% on a global basis.

Why India’s Internet Adoption has been Slower than Other Large Countries?
While US-based portals and search companies have traditionally seen a large user base out of India, the pure-play India Internet
has not seen the kind of growth observed in the US, China, Western Europe, Japan, etc. In our view, the major Internet growth
drivers and impediments in India include the following:
# Growth Drivers # Growth Impediments
1 Availability of Internet access points 1 Limited reach of the Internet
2 Increasing broadband penetration 2 Poor Internet infrastructure
3 PC shipment and installed base 3 Low bandw idth
4 Rise in w hite collar jobs w ith PC and Internet at w ork 4 Low adoption

Section 3: Overview of Internet Advertising in India
India Internet Advertising Market Forecast
The Indian Internet advertising market is still relatively small in absolute terms – about $154mm in 2009, by our estimates – but it
shows extraordinary growth rates. We are estimating CAGR of 32.9% between 2009 and 2012 for Internet advertising which
compares to 14.5% CAGR for total Indian advertising over the same period. Total Internet ad spend is expected to grow to
$360mm by 2012, up from $65mm in 2007 and $210mm in 2010. Currently, Internet advertising is about 3.0% - 3.5% of total
advertising and we expect its share to grow to 5% by 2012.

India Internet Advertising Revenue ($MM)
Looking at Various Formats of Internet Advertising in India
State of Search Advertising in India. Similar to most other countries, search in India is dominated by Google and the other
leading search engines such as Yahoo! and Bing. There are two notable home-grown search services that are worth mentioning
and those are guruji.com and justdial.com. We believe that Google, Yahoo! and Bing together generate search revenue close to
$125mm from India.
State of Display Advertising in India. In addition to the leading US portals i.e. MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, etc., the display ad business
has dozens of strong home-grown companies especially many with traditional media roots i.e. The Times Group, Hindustan
Times, Network18, Rediff, and Sify.
State of Other Online Ad Formats in India. Besides search and display, lead generation is another online ad format that has
potential in India but marketing sophistication is still not very high. Email marketing and video advertising remain small
categories in India but, with retail and brand revolution, will grow in the coming years.
State of Online Classifieds in India. In our view, online classifieds is perhaps the biggest category for online advertising in India
with jobs, real estate, auto, and matrimony having multiple companies with sizeable revenue and growth. As per our estimates,
online classifieds is a $200mm category in India.
State of Online Marketing Services in India. We include online ad networks, interactive ad agencies, search engine marketing
agencies (SEMs), and search engine optimization agencies (SEOs) as part of online marketing services in India. Because Internet
advertising remains a small category in India, online marketing services, which is a derivative of the Internet ad spend, remains
very small as well.
Advertising by Media in India
Unlike in most of the mature markets, advertising is a growth industry in India. While this data are relatively old, below we
highlight India’s adverting industry by format.

Section 4: Overview of E-Commerce in India
India E-Commerce Market Forecast
The Indian retail market is the 5th largest in the world at approximately $350bn with less than 10% in the organized retail sector
(retail chains/corporate play vs. mom-and-pop shops). What is more important, though, is that unlike in the US, the Indian retail
sector is growing at an estimated growth rate of 10% Y/Y until 2018. Consultancy McKinsey expects the Indian retail market to
grow 4x by 2025.
In India, the retail E-Commerce market is currently a tiny fraction of the total retail market – about 0.5% – and is expected to
reach $1.4bn in 2010. By our estimates, its share will more than double by 2012 due to much faster growth compared to overall
retail. We expect E-Commerce in India to grow almost 3x to 4x faster than the overall retail market (58.5% CAGR vs. 15.4%
CAGR between 2009 and 2012). We estimate retail E-Commerce to reach $5bn by 2012 (up from $500mm in 2008 and $1.4bn in
2010). We think by 2013, E-Commerce in India will achieve 1% penetration.

Shift in Spending Behavior in India is a Catalyst for E-Commerce Growth
Younger demographics, higher education levels, global cultural awareness, and increasing affordability are brining shifts in the
spending behavior of consumers in India. We believe that these shifts may serve as a catalyst for the E-Commerce growth, which
has lagged behind on the adoption curve.
Below we present a chart that shows where the average Indian consumer is allocating his or her share of wallet.

Section 5: Overview of Online Travel in India
India Online Travel Market Forecast
Tourism demand in India is growing not only from domestic sources – more Indians taking vacation – but also from international
sources – foreign tourists visiting the country. The Indian Ministry of Tourism has set a goal of reaching 10mm foreign tourist
arrivals (FTAs) in 2010 (compared to 5.1mm in 2009) and 675mm domestic tourists. This target seems somewhat ambitious
today (FTAs have reached just 3.5mm by August 2010) but the efforts the Indian government puts in promoting the country as a
tourist destination (i.e. its Incredible India media campaign, etc.) should pay off in the near future (most likely once macro
economic uncertainties ease around the world).
India is among the fastest growing travel and tourism markets in the world. Travel and tourism is a $40bn industry in India
(includes managed corporate travel; $20bn for leisure and unmanaged corporate travel) and online is expected to reach $5.5bn in
gross bookings by the end of 2010. While online travel has low penetration, relative to India’s E-Commerce market, it is the
biggest category online. We estimate the online travel market will grow at a CAGR of 27.8% between 2009 and 2012 and reach
$8.9bn by 2012. Online travel is expected to grow almost twice as fast as the overall Indian travel market during that period.

One interesting trend in India is that travel products are the most popular type of products which Internet users research and

Section 6: Overview of Mobile Internet in India
Indian Mobile Internet
India has more than half a billion mobile subscribers today (2nd
large mobile subs in the world) and very soon it is set to launch
the world’s most advanced 3G network that many experts claim to be as fast as WiMAX. In our view, mobile Internet in India is
way ahead of mobile Internet in the US and Western Europe because of several factors – 1) the telecom sector picked-up in India
later than in Western countries but that allowed India to benefit from best practices, 2) the PC is less affordable and Internet
connections are not that pervasive so mobile has become a gadget of choice to access the Internet, 3) mobile plans for voice and
data are highly affordable.

Mobile Internet usage is also expected to grow materially over the next 4-5 years as the country upgrades its network and smart-
phones become more affordable (due to increasing wealth and competitive pricing pressure). According to eMarketer, the number
of mobile Internet users in India is expected to grow at the astonishing 111% CAGR between 2009 and 2012. This is about 4x
faster than the other BRIC countries.

Section 7: Growth Segments in Indian Internet
In our view, Internet as an industry remains in an early stage of evolution compared to how it ramped up in the US and China.
That also means that almost any category in India presents a long-term growth opportunity. While India's Internet overall will
outperform the rest of the big nations, below we present the 10 specific Internet segments where we expect to see the most
remarkable growth over the next several years. We also show some of the key players in each segment.

Section 9: IPO/M&A Outlook for the Internet Sector in India
So far, Internet has not been among the top sectors for M&A deals and IPOs in India. However, this may change in the coming
years.
India Internet IPO Outlook
As far as IPO is concerned, we believe that Indian Internet companies with compelling fundamentals and sizeable revenue and
balance sheets have an opportunity to tap into a global investors base that is looking for growth and thematic stories with a
possible listing on NASDAQ (similar to IPO and listing of Makemytrip on NASDAQ in Aug 2010).
In 2005, the US Internet sector had created $350bn in market capitalization while China was at under $5bn and India stood at
under $500mm. By the end of 2009, the US Internet sector market capitalization reached $450bn, China was at $100bn and India
remained under $5bn. As per our estimates, there are roughly 50-60 public Internet companies in the US, 20-25 in China, and
fewer than 5 in India. However, in the next 3-5 years, we think India's Internet sector will finally create bigger economic
activities/impact and draw global attention.
India Internet M&A Outlook
We believe that global Internet companies will get more active in India-focused Internet M&A in the next 2-3 years as they search
for hyper-growth regions across the world and India starts looking more attractive on absolute numbers basis. eBay and
Monster.com have made Internet acquisition in India to expand their geographical presences but other large Internet companies
have focused on organic growth to expand in India so far. However, we believe that the US-based Internet companies will get
more aggressive in India's Internet market. For M&A perspective, we find the entire market to be attractive but in our view the
following 5 categories are very attractive i.e. online travel, interactive ad agencies, Internet ad networks, mobile Internet, and
online music and content.
Overview of Private Internet Companies
The majority of private Internet companies in India are concentrated in several segments – travel, portals, Internet advertising,
content (both Internet and mobile consumption), E-Commerce, social networking, classifieds, matrimony/dating, and education.
Some of the most popular names include Yatra, Cleartrip, Travelguru, Shaadi.com, Interactive Avenues, Komli, Quikr, Sulekha,
JustDial, and BharatMatrimony.com.

Private Indian Internet Companies
Top Internet-focused VCs in India
Most Internet-focused VCs in India either funded Silicon Valley-style early stage companies in the late 1990s in the midst of the
“.com” bubble or invest today on opportunistic basis. However, the majority of VCs operating in India tend to invest in non-
Internet companies or start-ups that have already achieved some traction with self funding or seed money. In our view, VCs in
India tend to stay away from early stage start-ups as they can find growth companies with rewarding exit options in categories
that are saturated in mature markets.
Below we present a list of 12 notable venture capital firms that invest in the Indian Internet sector. In our view, Sequoia, Helion,
and SAIF are the most Internet-focused VCs in India with series of noteworthy investments and successful exits.

Worldwide Internet Advertising Revenue ($MM)
Worldwide Online Advertising by Format
We believe that Search will remain the largest online ad category and its market share will go up worldwide from 51% of total
online advertising in 2009 to 53% in 2012. We estimate Display advertising to account for 32% of total online advertising in 2012
(down 300bps from 2009) and Classifieds to decline to 7% of total online advertising in 2012 (down 200bps from 2009). We also
believe that search will grow faster than the overall market but we expect rich media and video advertising to grow even faster
than search.

Section 11: Valuation Framework
We usually value the Internet stocks we cover by using EV/EBITDA and/or P/E methods but we also consider free cash flow
yield. For EV/EBITDA we look for EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.5x to 0.7x with an average of 0.6x. For P/E we look for PEG of
0.8x to 1.0x with an average of 0.9x. We tend to apply higher multiples to the companies with not only the top fundamentals in
our sector but also for having relatively higher international exposure and for being takeout targets. Our multiple ranges may vary
based on macro economic outlook, historical valuation trends, market trends, earnings revisions, competitive landscape, and
market sentiments. Below we present the current multiples and our target multiples for the stocks we cover.

Valuation and Risks
Valuation
AMZN: Our rating for AMZN is 3/Average with $140 PT. We reach our $140 PT by applying a multiple of 17.0x to our 2011E
EBITDA per share of $7.27 and adding $14.87 in net cash per share and $0.44 in NOLs per share (rounding up). This implies
EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.6x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 27%. Because of continuing concerns about margins
and Cap-Ex, we are using a lower multiple vs. the overall LT growth for Amazon.
DRIV: Our rating for DRIV is 1/Buy with $36 PT. We reach our $36 PT by assigning a multiple of 11.5x to our 2011E EBITDA
per share of $2.29, adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $9.15 per share.
EBAY: Our rating for EBAY is 1/Buy with $32 PT. We derive our $32 PT by applying a multiple of 9.5x to our 2011E EBITDA
of $3.74bn (EBITDA per share of $2.80), adjusting for 2010E year-end net debt of $5.38bn, or $4.04 per share, and $1.00 for
eBay’s stake in Skype. This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.8x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 12%.
EXPE: Our rating for EXPE is 3/Average with $24 PT. We arrive at our $24 PT by using an EV/EBITDA multiple on our 2011
estimates. We assign 6.5x to our pro-forma 2011E EBITDA of $1.10bn (EBITDA per share of $3.78), adjusted for 2010E year-
end net debt of $0.35 per share (EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.5x).
GOOG: Our rating for GOOG is 3/Average with $550 PT. We arrive at our $550 PT by using a combination of EV/EBITDA and
P/E multiples on our ’11 estimates. We assign a multiple of 11.5x to our 2011E EBITDA of $15.00bn (EBITDA per share of
$46.19) to reach $637, adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $34.26bn or $106.12 per share. This implies EV/EBITDA to
Growth of 0.7x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 17%. We assign a multiple of 17.0x to our 2011E PF EPS of $31.38 to
reach a $533 price. This implies a PEG of 0.9x based on our LT PF EPS growth rate of 19%.
GSIC: Our rating for GSIC is 1/Buy with $33 PT. We derive our $33 PT by applying a multiple of 12.0x to our 2011E EBITDA
of $180.3mm (EBITDA per share of $2.57), adjusted for 2010E year-end net debt of $55.1mm (or $0.85 per share) and
$1.60/share in NOLs (rounding down). This implies EV/EBITDA/Growth 0.5x.
MMYT: We are rating MMYT a Buy and assigning a $46 price target. Our $46 price target is a combination of EV/EBITDA and
Price to Gross Bookings. We assign 50x to our pro-forma 2012E EBITDA per share of $0.87 to reach $44, adjusting for 2011E
year-end net cash of $0.81/share (EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.6x). In terms of Price to Gross Bookings, we are assigning 0.95x
multiple to our 2012 Gross Bookings estimates of $1.69bn to reach $47. We assign our highest EV/EBITDA multiple to MMYT
because its LT EBITDA growth is 80%, highest for any name we cover, and our 50x multiple implies 0.6x EV/EBITDA to
Growth. Also, we are using 2012 estimates (vs. 2011 for the rest of our names) since, in our view, MMYT is in an early stage of
margin improvement/evolution and using 2011 estimates may not capture the true earnings potential of the company.
MSFT: Our rating for MSFT is 1/Buy with $35 PT. We arrive at our $35 PT by using P/E and P/FCF multiples on our CY11
estimates. We assign a P/E multiple of 13.0x to our CY2011 GAAP EPS of $2.65 to reach $35 (rounding up). This implies a PEG
of 1.1x based on our LT GAAP EPS growth rate of 12%. We assign a P/FCF multiple of 11.5x to our CY2011 FCF/share of
$3.06 to reach $35. This implies P/FCF to Growth of 0.9x based on our LT FCF growth rate of 12%.
PCLN: Our rating for PCLN is 1/Buy with $348 PT. We reach our $348 PT by using a combination of EV/EBITDA and P/E
multiples on our 2011 estimates. We assign 16x to our 2011E EBITDA per share of $20.29 to reach $350, adjusted for 2010E
year-end net cash per share of $20.09 and $5.41 in NOLs (EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.5x). We assign 23x to our 2011 PF EPS of
$15.06 (PEG of 0.8x) to reach $346. We are assigning higher multiples now because of our improving outlook for online travel
trends.
SCOR: Our rating for SCOR is 1/Buy with $25 PT. We derive $25 by applying a multiple of 13.0x to our 2011E EBITDA of
$53.4mm (EBITDA per share of $1.67), adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $94.0mm, or $2.96 a share
(EV/EBITDA/Growth 0.7x) and $0.36/share in NOLs.
TTGT: Our rating for TTGT is 1/Buy with $8 PT. We reach our $8 PT by assigning a multiple of 11.0x to our 2011E EBITDA
per share of $0.55, adjusting for $1.81 per share in net cash and $0.02 in off-balance sheet assets (rounding up). This implies
EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.6x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 18%.
VCLK: Our rating for VCLK is 3/Average with $12 PT. We arrive at our $12 PT by applying a multiple of 5.5x to our 2011E
EBITDA of $129.1mm (EBITDA per share of $1.55), adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $268.2mm or $3.24 per share
(rounding up). This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.55x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 10%.
YHOO: Our rating for YHOO is 1/Buy with $20 PT. We reach our $20 PT by assigning 9.5x to our 2011E EBITDA of $1.79bn
(EBITDA per share of $1.28), adjusting for $3.19 per share in 2010E year-end net cash and $4.50 in off-balance sheet assets
(Yahoo! Japan and Alibaba post illiquidity discount and tax and NOLs).

  • 1. Sandeep Aggarwal ● (415) 489-2518 ● saggarwal@cariscompany.com Caris & Company Stan Velikov, CFA ● (415) 489-2510 ● svelikov@cariscompany.com 44 Montgomery Street Suite 1500 San Francisco, CA 94104 FINRA SIPC For full disclosure, please see end of report 1 T e c h n o l o g y : I n t e r n e t & S o f t w a r e Industry Update Thursday, September 16, 2010 Indian Internet Has Finally Arrived! Summary India is the least penetrated Internet economy among the large nations but has finally hit the inflection point, in our view. The last decade of the Internet ramp-up has been painfully slow in India (vs. US/China) constrained by poor IT infrastructure, low broadband penetration, low PC shipments, lack of home-grown innovations, lack of local content/reasons, and VC money chasing more mature non-Internet companies with equally compelling growth prospects. However, in our view, the next 10-years will bring massive growth in the Internet sector in India supported by highly favorable demographics, growing Internet/broadband penetration, launch of one of the world’s best 3G networks, growing middle class/income levels, noticeable pick-up in tech/gadget and mobile culture, and surge in home-grown Internet start-ups. In our view, India's Internet market is 10 years behind US's and 6 years behind China's in terms of several key factors namely – overall Internet adoption, broadband penetration, Internet adverting, E-Commerce, quality content, and sophistication & functionality of websites. However, until 2015, we expect CAGR of 15% for Internet users, 20% for Internet advertising, 25% for E-Commerce and OTAs. There are four public Internet companies in India i.e. SIFY, REDF and MMYT listed on NASDAQ and Info Edge listed in Hong Kong & India. We are initiating on MMYT with a Buy and $46 PT. Key Points • Inflection point. In our view, India Internet has finally hit the inflection point. With 81mm Internet users base, increasing time spent online, upcoming best 3G mobile network, younger demographic, growing wealth, and surge in Internet start-ups, India is saliently creating a solid ‘Net economy & ecosystem. • Internet users and penetration. In our view, India has taken much more time to reach 7% Internet penetration than the US, China, and many emerging markets. We believe that by 2015, India will have achieved 15%-18% penetration i.e. 180mm to 200mm Internet users. • Internet advertising. The global ad industry is $700bn and Internet is $50bn of that. The Indian ad industry is $5bn and Internet ad is a miniscule $200mm. We expect Internet advertising to grow at 30% for the next several years. • E-Commerce. E-Commerce adoption is fairly low in India. In our view, E- Commerce is trying to grow in India at the same time as the organized retail revolution – E-Commerce is only $1.4bn vs. $350bn retail sector in India. • Online Travel. The most exciting segment of India's Internet sector is online travel which accounts for $4bn vs. $20bn total travel industry. • Mobile Internet. Supported by good wireless infrastructure, economical voice/ data plans, availability of cheap handsets, and lower PC installed base, India's mobile market is in many ways more advanced than many mature markets. • Noteworthy private Internet Co's. While there are many Internet companies with massive growth, the following are some of the noteworthy private ones in India – Yatra, Cleartrip, Via, Indiamart, Shaadi, Interactive Avenues, Komli, Quikr, Sulekha, JustDial, and BharatMatrimony. The established Internet Co's with traditional media roots are – Times, HT Media, NDTV, Network18.

India was the center of global economic activities until 1600 AD India accounted for anywhere from 35% to 25% of world GDP between 1 AD and 1600 AD but since then its share of the global economy kept going down and reached under 3% by the 1980s.

Nowadays India accounts for about 5% of world GDP and is expected to reach 10% by 2020. The country is currently the fifth largest world economy (by 2009 GDP at PPP) after only the EU, the US, China, and Japan and has the 10th best GDP real growth rate in the world. India is also the second most populous country in the world and one of the youngest among the major world economies (the median age of its population is 25.9 years). Although the country ranks fourth in terms of total Internet users, Internet penetration in India (at 7%) is the lowest among the emerging economies and has a great potential for growth.

However, that has been the case for the past decade during which Internet adoption in the country has been painfully slow. India has not only one of the lowest Internet penetration levels among the major world economies but also a very small Internet economy when it comes to the overall economic impact and new job creation. More specifically, Internet advertising and E-Commerce remain very small industries. However, India's Internet has given boost to online travel as well as B2B businesses and both of these segments have seen astronomical growth. Indian Internet Population & Penetration India has the 4th largest Internet population in the world after China, the US, and Japan. However, India is the slowest among the large nations in terms of Internet adoption. As of June 2010, Internet penetration in the country has only reached 7% – way below any major developed or emerging economy in the world. The country accounts for 17% of the worldwide population and for only 4% of Internet users. Still, Internet has been growing very fast in India (1,520% between 2000 and 2010) and we expect penetration to accelerate even further with the current infrastructure improvements and growth in wealth and education levels in the country.

We are estimating CAGR of 32.9% between 2009 and 2012 for Internet advertising which compares to 14.5% CAGR for total Indian advertising over the same period. Total Internet ad spend is expected to grow to $360mm by 2012, up from $65mm in 2007 and $210mm in 2010. Currently, Internet advertising is about 3.0% - 3.5% of total advertising and we expect its share to grow to 5% by 2012. $MM 2007 2008 2009E 2010E 2011E 2012E '09-'12 CAGR Total India Advertising $4,663 $4,962 $4,798 $5,738 $6,484 $7,198 14.5% Y/Y Change 32.1% 6.4% -3.3% 19.6% 13.0% 11.0% India Internet Advertising $65 $114 $154 $210 $275 $360 32.9% Y/Y Change 85% 75% 34.5% 36.8% 31.0% 30.9% India Internet as a % of Total 1.4% 2.3% 3.2% 3.7% 4.2% 5.0% Y/Y Increase in Penetration 40 bps 90 bps 90 bps 46 bps 58 bps 76 bps Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers; eMarketer; Caris & Company estimates; Excludes Online Classifieds India Internet Advertising Revenue ($MM) Looking at Various Formats of Internet Advertising in India State of Search Advertising in India. Similar to most other countries, search in India is dominated by Google and the other leading search engines such as Yahoo! and Bing. There are two notable home-grown search services that are worth mentioning and those are guruji.com and justdial.com. We believe that Google, Yahoo! and Bing together generate search revenue close to $125mm from India. State of Display Advertising in India. In addition to the leading US portals i.e. MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, etc., the display ad business has dozens of strong home-grown companies especially many with traditional media roots i.e. The Times Group, Hindustan Times, Network18, Rediff, and Sify. State of Other Online Ad Formats in India. Besides search and display, lead generation is another online ad format that has potential in India but marketing sophistication is still not very high. Email marketing and video advertising remain small categories in India but, with retail and brand revolution, will grow in the coming years. State of Online Classifieds in India. In our view, online classifieds is perhaps the biggest category for online advertising in India with jobs, real estate, auto, and matrimony having multiple companies with sizeable revenue and growth. As per our estimates, online classifieds is a $200mm category in India. State of Online Marketing Services in India. We include online ad networks, interactive ad agencies, search engine marketing agencies (SEMs), and search engine optimization agencies (SEOs) as part of online marketing services in India. Because Internet advertising remains a small category in India, online marketing services, which is a derivative of the Internet ad spend, remains very small as well. Advertising by Media in India Unlike in most of the mature markets, advertising is a growth industry in India. While this data are relatively old, below we highlight India’s adverting industry by format.

What is more important, though, is that unlike in the US, the Indian retail sector is growing at an estimated growth rate of 10% Y/Y until 2018. Consultancy McKinsey expects the Indian retail market to grow 4x by 2025. In India, the retail E-Commerce market is currently a tiny fraction of the total retail market – about 0.5% – and is expected to reach $1.4bn in 2010. By our estimates, its share will more than double by 2012 due to much faster growth compared to overall retail. We expect E-Commerce in India to grow almost 3x to 4x faster than the overall retail market (58.5% CAGR vs. 15.4% CAGR between 2009 and 2012). We estimate retail E-Commerce to reach $5bn by 2012 (up from $500mm in 2008 and $1.4bn in 2010). We think by 2013, E-Commerce in India will achieve 1% penetration.

The Indian Ministry of Tourism has set a goal of reaching 10mm foreign tourist arrivals (FTAs) in 2010 (compared to 5.1mm in 2009) and 675mm domestic tourists. This target seems somewhat ambitious today (FTAs have reached just 3.5mm by August 2010) but the efforts the Indian government puts in promoting the country as a tourist destination (i.e. its Incredible India media campaign, etc.) should pay off in the near future (most likely once macro economic uncertainties ease around the world). India is among the fastest growing travel and tourism markets in the world. Travel and tourism is a $40bn industry in India (includes managed corporate travel; $20bn for leisure and unmanaged corporate travel) and online is expected to reach $5.5bn in gross bookings by the end of 2010. While online travel has low penetration, relative to India’s E-Commerce market, it is the biggest category online. We estimate the online travel market will grow at a CAGR of 27.8% between 2009 and 2012 and reach $8.9bn by 2012.

However, this may change in the coming years. India Internet IPO Outlook As far as IPO is concerned, we believe that Indian Internet companies with compelling fundamentals and sizeable revenue and balance sheets have an opportunity to tap into a global investors base that is looking for growth and thematic stories with a possible listing on NASDAQ (similar to IPO and listing of Makemytrip on NASDAQ in Aug 2010). In 2005, the US Internet sector had created $350bn in market capitalization while China was at under $5bn and India stood at under $500mm. By the end of 2009, the US Internet sector market capitalization reached $450bn, China was at $100bn and India remained under $5bn. As per our estimates, there are roughly 50-60 public Internet companies in the US, 20-25 in China, and fewer than 5 in India. However, in the next 3-5 years, we think India's Internet sector will finally create bigger economic activities/impact and draw global attention. India Internet M&A Outlook We believe that global Internet companies will get more active in India-focused Internet M&A in the next 2-3 years as they search for hyper-growth regions across the world and India starts looking more attractive on absolute numbers basis. eBay and Monster.com have made Internet acquisition in India to expand their geographical presences but other large Internet companies have focused on organic growth to expand in India so far. However, we believe that the US-based Internet companies will get more aggressive in India's Internet market. For M&A perspective, we find the entire market to be attractive but in our view the following 5 categories are very attractive i.e. online travel, interactive ad agencies, Internet ad networks, mobile Internet, and online music and content. Overview of Private Internet Companies The majority of private Internet companies in India are concentrated in several segments – travel, portals, Internet advertising, content (both Internet and mobile consumption), E-Commerce, social networking, classifieds, matrimony/dating, and education. Some of the most popular names include Yatra, Cleartrip, Travelguru, Shaadi.com, Interactive Avenues, Komli, Quikr, Sulekha, JustDial, and BharatMatrimony.com. Top 50 Hot Internet Companies Below we have compiled a list of the Top 50 private Internet companies in India.

However, the majority of VCs operating in India tend to invest in non- Internet companies or start-ups that have already achieved some traction with self funding or seed money. In our view, VCs in India tend to stay away from early stage start-ups as they can find growth companies with rewarding exit options in categories that are saturated in mature markets. Below we present a list of 12 notable venture capital firms that invest in the Indian Internet sector. In our view, Sequoia, Helion, and SAIF are the most Internet-focused VCs in India with series of noteworthy investments and successful exits. # Name 1 Sequoia Capital 2 Helion Venture Partners 3 SAIF Partners 4 Kliener Perkins/Sherpalo 5 Draper Fisher Jurvetson 6 NEA 7 Matrix Partners 8 Canaan Partners 9 Nexus Venture Partners 10 Reliance Technology Ventures Ltd 11 Indo-US Ventures 12 Sierra Ventures Source: Caris & Company Notable India-Focused VCs

For EV/EBITDA we look for EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.5x to 0.7x with an average of 0.6x. For P/E we look for PEG of 0.8x to 1.0x with an average of 0.9x. We tend to apply higher multiples to the companies with not only the top fundamentals in our sector but also for having relatively higher international exposure and for being takeout targets. Our multiple ranges may vary based on macro economic outlook, historical valuation trends, market trends, earnings revisions, competitive landscape, and market sentiments.

  • 27. Internet & Software 27 CARIS & COMPANY NEW YORK · DEL MAR · SAN FRANCISCO · BOSTON · MEMBER FINRA/SIPC Valuation and Risks Valuation AMZN: Our rating for AMZN is 3/Average with $140 PT. We reach our $140 PT by applying a multiple of 17.0x to our 2011E EBITDA per share of $7.27 and adding $14.87 in net cash per share and $0.44 in NOLs per share (rounding up). This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.6x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 27%. Because of continuing concerns about margins and Cap-Ex, we are using a lower multiple vs. the overall LT growth for Amazon. DRIV: Our rating for DRIV is 1/Buy with $36 PT. We reach our $36 PT by assigning a multiple of 11.5x to our 2011E EBITDA per share of $2.29, adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $9.15 per share. EBAY: Our rating for EBAY is 1/Buy with $32 PT. We derive our $32 PT by applying a multiple of 9.5x to our 2011E EBITDA of $3.74bn (EBITDA per share of $2.80), adjusting for 2010E year-end net debt of $5.38bn, or $4.04 per share, and $1.00 for eBay’s stake in Skype. This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.8x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 12%. EXPE: Our rating for EXPE is 3/Average with $24 PT. We arrive at our $24 PT by using an EV/EBITDA multiple on our 2011 estimates. We assign 6.5x to our pro-forma 2011E EBITDA of $1.10bn (EBITDA per share of $3.78), adjusted for 2010E year- end net debt of $0.35 per share (EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.5x). GOOG: Our rating for GOOG is 3/Average with $550 PT. We arrive at our $550 PT by using a combination of EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples on our ’11 estimates. We assign a multiple of 11.5x to our 2011E EBITDA of $15.00bn (EBITDA per share of $46.19) to reach $637, adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $34.26bn or $106.12 per share. This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.7x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 17%. We assign a multiple of 17.0x to our 2011E PF EPS of $31.38 to reach a $533 price. This implies a PEG of 0.9x based on our LT PF EPS growth rate of 19%. GSIC: Our rating for GSIC is 1/Buy with $33 PT. We derive our $33 PT by applying a multiple of 12.0x to our 2011E EBITDA of $180.3mm (EBITDA per share of $2.57), adjusted for 2010E year-end net debt of $55.1mm (or $0.85 per share) and $1.60/share in NOLs (rounding down). This implies EV/EBITDA/Growth 0.5x. MMYT: We are rating MMYT a Buy and assigning a $46 price target. Our $46 price target is a combination of EV/EBITDA and Price to Gross Bookings. We assign 50x to our pro-forma 2012E EBITDA per share of $0.87 to reach $44, adjusting for 2011E year-end net cash of $0.81/share (EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.6x). In terms of Price to Gross Bookings, we are assigning 0.95x multiple to our 2012 Gross Bookings estimates of $1.69bn to reach $47. We assign our highest EV/EBITDA multiple to MMYT because its LT EBITDA growth is 80%, highest for any name we cover, and our 50x multiple implies 0.6x EV/EBITDA to Growth. Also, we are using 2012 estimates (vs. 2011 for the rest of our names) since, in our view, MMYT is in an early stage of margin improvement/evolution and using 2011 estimates may not capture the true earnings potential of the company. MSFT: Our rating for MSFT is 1/Buy with $35 PT. We arrive at our $35 PT by using P/E and P/FCF multiples on our CY11 estimates. We assign a P/E multiple of 13.0x to our CY2011 GAAP EPS of $2.65 to reach $35 (rounding up). This implies a PEG of 1.1x based on our LT GAAP EPS growth rate of 12%. We assign a P/FCF multiple of 11.5x to our CY2011 FCF/share of $3.06 to reach $35. This implies P/FCF to Growth of 0.9x based on our LT FCF growth rate of 12%. PCLN: Our rating for PCLN is 1/Buy with $348 PT. We reach our $348 PT by using a combination of EV/EBITDA and P/E multiples on our 2011 estimates. We assign 16x to our 2011E EBITDA per share of $20.29 to reach $350, adjusted for 2010E year-end net cash per share of $20.09 and $5.41 in NOLs (EV/EBITDA/Growth of 0.5x). We assign 23x to our 2011 PF EPS of $15.06 (PEG of 0.8x) to reach $346. We are assigning higher multiples now because of our improving outlook for online travel trends. SCOR: Our rating for SCOR is 1/Buy with $25 PT. We derive $25 by applying a multiple of 13.0x to our 2011E EBITDA of $53.4mm (EBITDA per share of $1.67), adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $94.0mm, or $2.96 a share (EV/EBITDA/Growth 0.7x) and $0.36/share in NOLs. TTGT: Our rating for TTGT is 1/Buy with $8 PT. We reach our $8 PT by assigning a multiple of 11.0x to our 2011E EBITDA per share of $0.55, adjusting for $1.81 per share in net cash and $0.02 in off-balance sheet assets (rounding up). This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.6x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 18%. VCLK: Our rating for VCLK is 3/Average with $12 PT. We arrive at our $12 PT by applying a multiple of 5.5x to our 2011E EBITDA of $129.1mm (EBITDA per share of $1.55), adjusting for 2010E year-end net cash of $268.2mm or $3.24 per share (rounding up). This implies EV/EBITDA to Growth of 0.55x based on our LT EBITDA growth rate of 10%. YHOO: Our rating for YHOO is 1/Buy with $20 PT. We reach our $20 PT by assigning 9.5x to our 2011E EBITDA of $1.79bn (EBITDA per share of $1.28), adjusting for $3.19 per share in 2010E year-end net cash and $4.50 in off-balance sheet assets (Yahoo! Japan and Alibaba post illiquidity discount and tax and NOLs).
