I will be really really surprised if Infy actually acquires Sage. The management has re-iterated at numerous occasions that they are not looking at companies with more than $500m of Market Cap. Moreover, with this kind of acquisition, the onsite:offshore ratio will further increase, only decreasing the margins.
I believe, Infy will go for some company which has got decent amount of consultancy revenues. This will be essentially because the company has not been successful in ramping up their consultancy division.
Having said that, if Infy has to grow at the present run-rate, it can only happen through inorganic growth. Americas is already saturated and Europe is difficult to penetrate, since they don't really get too cozy with Indian companies so soon. Time will reveal what story Infy has to sell to the market.
Hope you have been enjoying this blog as much as we love putting stuff in it.
