Tata Consultancy Services [Get Quote] has retained its position as the number one software services exporter (excluding ITeS and BPO) followed by Infosys [Get Quote] and Wipro [Get Quote] in the Nasscom's Top 20 software exporter list.

Releasing the rankings for Top 20 IT Software and Service Exporters in India, software industry association Nasscom said, this list does not include companies, such as Cognizant, Accenture, IBM and HP which are US listed companies but have significant offshore operations in India - and would have been placed amongst the Top 10 of this list, were they to be ranked.

In addition, companies such as Kanbay, Syntel and Intelligroup - all with an India-centric global delivery model but unable to provide India specific revenue details - are excluded from this list.

Kiran Karnik, president, Nasscom, said "India's services exports grew by over 33 per cent in FY06 to clock revenues of $17.3 billion, led by a strong demand and increased traction for traditional services like ADM, new services like EAI and package implementation, and new  areas like engineering services. We have a trend where companies are increasingly winning multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts with global firms."
