    Technology and Operations (iTOPS) solutions provider, operating under the brand

    ended March 31, 2012.

    First Quarter Highlights

      -- Accepts delisting offer of Patni Computer Systems Limited (´Patni´)
         enabling Patni to proceed with delisting from the Indian stock exchanges at
         Rs. 520/- per share and marking the completion of a complex corporate
         restructuring within one year of Patni´s acquisition
      -- Net Income for first quarter 2012 increased by 34.6% to $ 24.1 million from
         $ 17.9 million in the first quarter 2011
      -- Revenues for first quarter 2012 increased by 247.4% to $ 263.3 million from
         $75.8 million in the first quarter 2011
      -- Gross margin was 40.2% for the first quarter 2012 compared to 40.9% in the
         corresponding quarter last year

    Phaneesh Murthy, CEO, iGATE Patni said, ´The long tail rationalization of our
    customers that we undertook yielded us higher profits but dipped revenues and
    the delays in project kick-offs resulted in lesser revenue growth. We expect
    our revenue growth to be back on track over the next couple of quarters
    creating a back loaded year.´

    Sujit Sircar, CFO, iGATE Patni said, ´We are delighted that we managed to do a
    very complex capital restructuring within a year of completing the Patni
    acquisition. The successful delisting of Patni will be an important step
    towards our vision of ´one company´ and will set us up well for a possible
    downstream merger while also reducing costs of Compliance and Governance.´

    Key Highlights of the quarter

    Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

    This press release contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the
    Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP measures are not in
    accordance with, or an alternative for measures prepared in accordance with,
    generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and may be
    different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these
    non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or
    principles. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP
    measures are included in the attached financial tables.

    iGATE believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not
    reflect all of the amounts associated with iGATE´s results of operations as
    determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used
    to evaluate iGATE´s results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding
    GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures should be considered supplemental in
    nature and should not be considered in isolation or be construed as being more
    important than comparable GAAP measures.

    iGATE believes that providing Adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP net income and
    non-GAAP diluted earnings per share in addition to the related GAAP measures
    provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by iGATE´s
    management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP
    measures are also used by management in connection with iGATE´s performance
    compensation programs.

    More specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures contained herein exclude the
    following items:

      -- Amortization of intangible assets: Intangible assets comprise value of
         customer relationships from the recent Patni acquisition and the previous
         delisting of iGATE´s Indian subsidiary. iGATE incurs charges relating to
         the amortization of these intangibles. These charges are included in
         iGATE´s GAAP presentation of earnings from operations, operating margin,
         net income and diluted earnings per share. iGATE excludes these charges for
         purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures.
      -- Stock-based compensation: Although stock-based compensation is an important
         aspect of the compensation of iGATE´s employees and executives, determining
         the fair value of the stock-based instruments involves a high degree of
         judgment and estimation and the expense recorded may not reflect the actual
         value realized upon the future exercise or termination of the related
         stock-based awards. Furthermore, unlike cash compensation, the value of
         stock-based compensation is determined using a complex formula that
         incorporates factors, such as market volatility, that are beyond our
         control. Management believes it is useful to exclude stock-based
         compensation in order to better understand the long-term performance of our
         core business.
      -- Acquisition expenses: iGATE incurs costs related to its acquisitions, which
         are inconsistent in amount and frequency and are significantly impacted by
         the timing and nature of iGATE´s acquisitions. iGATE believes that
         eliminating these expenses for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP
         measures facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of iGATE´s current
         operating performance and comparisons to its past operating performance.
      -- Foreign Exchange gain: The Company entered into forward foreign exchange
         contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on
         payments related to the acquisition of Patni. We also recognized favorable
         foreign currency gain on re-measurement of escrow account balance
         maintained for facilitating payments related to the Patni acquisition.
         iGATE believes that eliminating the non-capitalized items for purposes of
         calculating these non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful
         evaluation of iGATE´s current performance and comparisons to its past
         performance.
         In March 2012, the Company entered into a forward foreign exchange contract
         to mitigate the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates on payments
         related to the delisting of Patni. iGATE believes that eliminating the
         non-capitalized items for purposes of calculating these non-GAAP measures
         facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of iGATE´s current performance and
         comparisons to its past performance.
      -- Severance Cost: As a result of the acquisition of Patni, iGATE incurred
         severance costs in connection with the termination of the services of some
         of Patni´s employees.
      -- Delisting expenses: iGATE is voluntarily delisting the equity shares of its
         majority owned subsidiary, Patni from the National Stock Exchange of India
         Limited and the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and the American Depository
         Shares from the New York Stock Exchange. Delisting is an infrequent
         activity and expenses incurred in connection therein are inconsistent in
         amount and are significantly impacted by the timing and nature of the
         delisting. iGATE believes that eliminating these expenses for purposes of
         calculating these non-GAAP measures facilitates a more meaningful
         evaluation of iGATE´s current operating performance and comparisons to its
         past operating performance.

    From time to time in the future, there may be other items that iGATE may
    exclude in presenting its financial results.

    acquisition, the business outlook, the demand for the products and services,
    and all other statements in this release other than recitation of historical
    facts are forward-looking statements. Words such as ´expect´, ´potential´,
    ´believes´, ´anticipates´, ´plans´, ´intends´ and similar expressions are
    intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
    statements in the press release include, without limitation, forecasts of

    of which the Company might not have sufficient funds to operate its businesses
    in the manner it intends or has operated in the past. Additional risks relating

                                                       =============================
                                                                                    
    The Company presents the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA
    because management uses these measures to monitor and evaluate the performance
    of the business and believe the presentation of these measures will enhance the
    investors´ ability to analyze trends in the business and evaluate the Company  
    underlying performance relative to other companies in the industry.            
                                                                                    
    Non-GAAP Disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA                                          
                                                                                    
    We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. We     
    define Adjusted EBITDA as net income attributable to iGATE Corporation plus (i)
    depreciation and amortization, (ii) interest expense, (iii) income tax expense,
    minus (iv) other income, net plus (v) foreign exchange loss, (v) stock based   
    compensation (vi) acquisition expenses (vii) severance expenses and (viii)     
    delisting expenses.  We eliminated the impact of the above as we do not        
    consider them as indicative of our ongoing operating performance. These        
    adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these           
    adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental      
    analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future
    we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the           
    adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should   
    not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by
    unusual or non-recurring items.                                                
                                                                                    
    We present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts
    in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by
    excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating    
    performance. In addition, we use Adjusted EBITDA: [(i) as a factor in          
    evaluating management´s performance when determining incentive compensation,    
    (ii) to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and (iii) because
    our credit agreement and our indenture use measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA
    to measure our compliance with certain covenants.                              
                                                                                    
    Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations
    are:                                                                           
    --  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future          
      requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;            
    -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our  
      working capital needs;                                                        
    -- Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the   
      cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our
      debts; although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets
      being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future,
      and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such           
      replacements; non-cash compensation is and will remain a key element of our   
      overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an
      expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular    
      period; Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of certain cash charges   
      resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing        
      operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate adjusted EBITDA
      differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.     
    Because of these limitations, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in       
    isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance
    with GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP
    results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.
