Cognizant seeks India listing to narrow peer valuation gap

Cognizant started as a software services arm of Dun & Bradstreet with 175 employees in 1994 in Chennai.

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. earns more revenue than Infosys Ltd, yet the Nasdaq-listed IT services firm is valued at barely half its peer, which is listed in India as well as the US.

While Infosys, India’s second-largest IT outsourcer, has a market capitalization of $70.5 billion, Cognizant is valued at $35.01 billion—although they had comparable revenues of $19.74 billion and $19.28 billion, respectively, in the previous fiscal year. Cognizant follows a January-December fiscal.

It is this arbitrage that the Teaneck, New Jersey-based company appears to be targeting as it weighs an India listing, announced on Wednesday during the September-quarter results.

When little details capture reality

There is a quiet gravitas to the works on display across the two floors of Art Alive Gallery in Delhi. Each watercolour, be it landscape, portrait or self-study, features an interplay of light, shadow and colour. Artist Shibu Natesan, 59, deftly works with these elements to imbue every painting with a unique atmosphere. The painter's gaze seems to be akin to that of a photographer's. The paintings are nearly photorealistic, conveying the feel of the environment, the personality of the subject and the essence of the landscape to the viewer.
