Commenting on Q4 performance, Rituraj Kishore Sinha, the group managing director of SIS, said: "FY21 has been a year of validation. 7.6% Y-o-Y revenue growth, highest ever PAT of Rs 367 crs and highest ever OCF generation of Rs 640 crs, in year of GDP contraction underlines 3 unique characteristics of SIS. First, we as essential services are a fundamental need of society leading to inelastic demand. Second, ROCE remains intact at 20% across varying growth years as working capital intensity adjusts. Third, incentivisation of blue-collar job creating sectors, through fiscal measures is govt policy imperative through GDP growth and contraction phases."
