The standalone results and the valuation shall be misleading and shall show it as an expensive stock. Sonata, unlike other software companies, has a large domestic business of about 60 – 65%. And the exports contribute to the rest. There is immense potential in the domestic business due to the DIGITAL INDIA initiatives. The company has been making good profits from the local projects in the last few quarters. The best signal for the company is the excellent improvement in numbers for the 9 months in FY 15.
