Tata Consultancy Services has retained its position as the number one software services exporter (excluding ITeS and BPO) followed by Infosys and Wipro in Nasscom's list of Top 20 IT Software and Service Exporters in India.

This list does not include companies like Cognizant, Accenture, IBM and HP, which are US listed companies but have significant offshore operations in India and would have been placed amongst the top 10 in the list, were they to be ranked, Nasscom said

While Satyam Computer Services has been ranked fourth in the list, HCL Technologies follows it. The others software companies in the list are Patni Computer Systems, I-flex Solutions, Tech Mahindra, Perot Systems TSI (I), L&T Infotech, Polaris Software Lab, Hexaware Technologies, Mastek, Mphasis BFL, Siemens Information Systems, Genpact, i-Gate Global Solutions, Flextronics Software Systems, NIIT Technologies and Covansys India.

India's software exports in FY06 touched $ 17.3 bilion.
