    Management Commentary:

    • Commenting on March quarter results, Rajesh Gopinathan, CEO and MD said, “It is very satisfying to look back at our strong growth in FY 2023, on top of the mid-teen growth in the prior year. The strength of our order book demonstrates the resilience of demand for our services and gives us visibility for growth in the medium term.”

    • Samir Seksaria, CFO, said, “FY 23 was a year of transition, as supply-side challenges abated while pandemic-depressed travel and discretionary spends normalized. We navigated this change well and our longer term competitiveness remains intact, giving us industry-leading profitability even as we pursue our growth aspirations.”

    Outlook:

    TCS reported slightly below estimated earnings in Q4FY23 result majorly due to the slowdown in discretionary projects in America and Europe region. Due to negative sentiment in BFSI segment several projects were put on hold or postponed. Overall this segment remains watchful with short to medium term view due to the prevailing macro situation. Margins of the company also impacted due to the subdued revenue growth. With higher focus on the cost optimization, TCV of the company remains robust with medium term deals.  Looking at the macro environment, near to medium term path for the company remains cautious as of now. However, we remain positive on the TCS with longer term perspective.
