N.V.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following measures defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP adjusted income from operations, adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted net income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited, or adjusted diluted earnings per share. These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and the reconciliations of Genpact's GAAP financial statements to such non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated.

For its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, Genpact's management historically used financial statements that did not include significant acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles on such acquisitions, for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors.

As a result of frequent acquisitions of varying scale and size, it is difficult to predict the expenses related to acquisitions and amortization of the acquired intangibles on acquisitions. Therefore, with effect from July 1, 2012, for its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, management considers using financial statements that do not include expenses related to all acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles on acquisitions for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors.

Besides this, for its internal management reporting and budgeting purposes, management uses financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangibles at formation in 2004, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring (excluding expenses related to the new credit facility) and withholding taxes relating to remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, for financial and operational decision-making, to evaluate period-to-period comparisons or for making comparisons of Genpact's operating results to that of its competitors. Moreover, because of varying available valuation methodologies, subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when adopting ASC 718 "Compensation-Stock Compensation", Genpact's management believes that providing financial statements that do not include stock-based compensation allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results to those of other companies. In addition, Genpact's management believes that providing non-GAAP financial measures that exclude amortization of acquired intangibles, expenses related to all acquisitions and amortization of acquired intangibles on acquisitions, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring (excluding expenses related to the  new credit facility) and withholding taxes relating to remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, allows investors to make additional comparisons between Genpact's operating results to those of other companies. Genpact also believes that it is unreasonably difficult to provide its financial outlook in accordance with GAAP for a number of reasons including, without limitation, its inability to predict its future stock-based compensation expense under ASC 718, the amortization of intangibles associated with further acquisitions, acquisition related expenses, expenses related to change of shareholding and capital restructuring (excluding expenses related to new credit facility), and withholding taxes relating to remittance of funds between subsidiaries to partly fund the payment of the special cash dividend in respect of capital restructuring, if any. Accordingly, Genpact believes that the presentation of non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and results of operations.

A limitation of using non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income versus income from operations and net income attributable to shareholders of Genpact Limited calculated in accordance with GAAP is that non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income excludes costs, namely, stock-based compensation, that are recurring. Stock-based compensation has been and will continue to be a significant recurring expense in Genpact's business for the foreseeable future. Management compensates for this limitation by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from non-GAAP adjusted income from operations and adjusted net income and evaluating such non-GAAP financial measures with financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The following tables show the reconciliation of these adjusted financial measures from GAAP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2012:
