Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents a significant growth opportunity for Genpact. The company’s Digital Smart Enterprise Processes (Digital SEPs) is a patented approach to enhance the performance of clients’ business processes. Digital SEPs integrate Lean Six Sigma methodologies, which decrease inefficiency and improve process quality, using AI with advanced domain-specific digital technologies and experience-centric principles.

Further, Genpact Cora is an automation to AI-based platform that combines the company’s proprietary automation, analytics and AI technologies into a single common platform and accelerates clients’ digital transformations. Acquisitions like Rage Framework and design thinking-based companies, such as Tandem Seven, have also expanded Genpact’s AI product portfolio. We believe that Genpact is well-positioned to take advantage of improvements in the AI space.

Genpact has a consistent record of returning value to shareholders in the forms of share repurchases and dividends. During 2022, 2021 and 2020, the company repurchased shares worth $214.1 million, $298.2 million and $137.1 million, respectively. It paid out $91.8 million, $80.5 million and $74.2 million as dividends to its shareholders in 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Such shareholder-friendly moves indicate the company’s confidence in business.

A Key Risk

The outsourcing industry is labor-intensive and heavily dependent on foreign talent. High talent costs due to competition can curb the industry’s growth. Genpact, being one of the companies in the industry, may get affected.
