K Krithivasan, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, stated that continued global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties had led to a contraction in demand. However, all the new service offerings performed well, supported by robust deal closures during the quarter.

“We remain closely connected to our customers to help them navigate the challenges impacting their businesses through cost optimisation, vendor consolidation, and AI-led business transformation,” he added.
