Our order book is bigger than in the prior three quarters, and the deal pipeline is also robust. Despite macro uncertainties ahead, our strong exit positions us very well for the new fiscal.”

He added, Our full spectrum digital transformation capabilities and thought leadership is what is driving the strong demand for our services, and making us the preferred innovation and transformation partner to our customers. Our Business 4.0™ framework has now become the de facto model for enterprises looking to embrace new technology-enabled business models, pursue new revenue streams or deliver superior customer experiences.”

N Ganapathy Subramaniam, Chief Operating Officer & Executive Director, said,“It is a very satisfying finish to a year marked by steady growth acceleration and order book expansion every quarter. The expanding scale and scope of our cognitive business operations engagements have been central to our growth. Our Machine First™ approach and location-independent Agile methods are helping our customers reimagine their processes and underlying systems, participate in ecosystems and transform themselves into Business 4.0 organizations.”

V Ramakrishnan, Chief Financial Officer, said, “Double digit growth, higher quality of the incremental business, and best-in-class execution capabilities have helped us expand our operating margin year on year. Our foresight in investing very early on in building digital skills and transformational capabilities has not only gained us market share, but has also resulted in our very resilient, industry-leading margin today.
