Commenting on the results, ED & Group CEO Mr. Guruprasad Srinivasan said, “We are pleased to report a solid quarter with quarterly revenue of ₹ 5,179 crore and EBITDA margin uptick of 23 bps YoY, underpinned on broad-based performance across our platforms. During the quarter, Quess became a 6,00,000+ headcount strong organization. WFM delivered healthy topline growth with headcount additions in Retail and Logistics verticals, and increasing salience of GCCs supported IT staffing. Improving international contribution in GTS and growth in F&B and telecom business in OAM contributed to higher realizations.
Our committed approach of financial and operational prudence has resulted in increased business efficiencies. We have also been strategically investing to strengthen platform-wise capabilities to ensure they are optimally positioned for future opportunities. We are progressing on-track towards our proposed demerger and are confident of long-term value creation for our stakeholders.”
