headwinds.TCS, second-largest exporter Infosys and No."But as Indian IT firms
sharpen focus on high-margin digital technology services instead of routine
technology infrastructure maintenance and software application projects, they
would need to send fewer staff to client locations overseas, analysts said.but
they can expect to recoup some of the costs through contract re-negotiations and
the stronger dollar," said Aneesh Srivastava, chief investment officer at IDBI
Federal Life Insurance.India's roughly $150 billion outsourcing sector generates
about three quarters of its revenue from the United States, where outsourcing
companies send thousands of staff every year to work at client locations.
Mumbai: India's export-driven IT outsourcing firms are likely to raise client
fees and process more work from their centres in India to cushion the impact of
an increase in fees for work visas in the United States, their top market,
investors said..
With legacy business shrinking, the larger digital becomes, the
more it can move the needle in terms of top line growth," said Moshe Katri, a
New York-based sector analyst at CRT Stern Agee.. 3 Wipro Ltd have in the past

December quarter net profit on Tuesday, while Infosys is expected to report a 3
percent rise in profit on Thursday, according to Thomson Reuters data."These
companies know that with digital services you can cut down the number of people
that need to work out of client locations and that visa costs do not pose a
long-term threat," said Srivastava, whose funds own Infosys and TCS shares.The

the Oklahoma-based retailer and Conestoga Wood Specialties could refuse to cover
contraceptives in employees’ health insurance due to the owners’ religious

eight-level museum in a prime tourist spot two blocks off the National Mall
features the world’s biggest private collection of Torahs, as well as
walk-through scenes of biblical stories such as Noah’s flood and a re-creation
of a Middle Eastern village at the time of Jesus. "They are telling a story of
the Bible that is a particularly American Protestant one," he said by telephone,
noting less or little attention was paid to Roman Catholics, Jews, Muslims and
Mormons.
There are items that we will explain ‘here is what our provenance is,’
and if there are holes, we’ll let people know," he said.Joel Baden, a Yale

Washington after questions about the origin of some of its artifacts and its
portrayal of the holy book.Museum backers say its collections will offer a
scholarly, nonsectarian view of one of history’s most-debated sacred writings,
