The basic business being volume based should grow but there is no real charm there. The growth engine is MCX and once it gets listed we could sell out Fin tech and buy MCX.

The parent company may well continue to be the value driver -as FT will continue to own MCX 50% post IPO, will own the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (40% directly and 10% via MCX), owns 80- 100% in other entities, namely, IBS Forex Ltd, National Spot Exchange for Agricultural Produce, National Bulk Handling Corporation, ATOM Technologies, Tickerplant Infovending & Riskraft Consulting.
From their web site this is what they say in their presentation:
"@MCX –Already profitable, revenues expected to double every year for next 3 to 5 years. @DGCX –The International Commodities Exchange that will be profitable from day 1. @NSEAP & NBHC to be fully operational in FY 2006-07. @ATOM Technologies, Tickerplant Infovending & Riskraft Consulting to contribute from FY 2007-08. @IBS Forex to scale up substantially from 2006-07.
FT to Immensely Benefit From A Spectacular Growth In the EntireEco-system."
Their recent announcement to create a new exchange in the Asia Pacific region is also likley to be via FTIndia.
Furthermore, Mr Jignesh Shah, will be the owner only in FTIndia directly.

Jignesh Shah and Kishore Biyani are the new breed of Indian entrepreaneurs who say " Let me try and see If I can!". Whether they succeed or not their sheer belief and conviction to get things right is worth appreciating.

Mr. Basant: Have you plugged in any projections on what the company is expected to earn on a consolidated basis in 07 & 08?

_____________________________________________________________
It is really tough to project an EPS for Fin Tech that is because MCX could be hived off (partially) and also the sheer pace of growth makes such projections go off track. I would assume that in FY 07 Fin Tech should do an EPS of Rs 30 - Rs 35.

I would not think so. This is because Fin tech would like to have control over MCX. But nothing is decided yet. Once MCX is listed I would shift from FIn Tech to MCX (depending on valuations of course) because that is the growth engine.In case MCX is listed at crazy valuations Financial Tech will also be bid up as it would hold majority stake in that company.
