RS Software features in Forbes ‘Asia's 200 Best under a Billion’ list for the second time
RS Software India Ltd., the leading vertically integrated technology solution provider to the global payments industry, featured in the Forbes ‘Asia’s 200 Best under a Billion’ list for the second time. The company had made it to the prestigious list for the first time in 2012.

From a group of 15,000 publicly listed companies in Asia-Pacific with revenues between $5 million and $1 billion, 873 companies were short listed and finally the top 200 companies finalized. Only 52 companies from the last year’s list have re-qualified this year, as meeting and exceeding the criterion becomes very competitive. The requirements are very stringent and include both long term and short term performance. For instance, five years average return on equity and three years consistent growth in revenues and earnings ensure the long term performance, while financial indicators of immediate past fiscal year focus on the short term. Companies engaged in Information Technology represent 25% of the top 200 companies.

Commenting on this recognition, Raj Jain, Chairman & Managing Director, RS Software India Ltd said, “Our continued focus on building leadership as a domain focused provider to the global clientele is enabling us to be amongst the high performing organizations from India. To be recognized in the top 1.3% of the companies listed in the entire Asia Pacific region, and to be amongst only 19 companies from India on this list is indeed a testimony to our commitment to be an investment of choice by all our stakeholders. The global electronic payments industry has grown 10,000% during the last four decades, and is fast approaching $ 1 trillion. Combined with this fact, is that globally 85% of retail payments are still made with paper money – cash and cheques. This domain focus is creating a huge opportunity for RS Software, and gives reasons to be optimistic about our future”.
