"It's been a satisfying quarter where our focus on digital transformation has helped us deliver a robust performance. Our strong deal wins especially in the communication vertical coupled with our 10 per cent-plus sequential growth in digital revenues are a validation of our Run, Change and Grow strategy," Tech Mahindra CEO and MD CP Gurnani said.
He added that barring declines in implementation business in its healthcare vertical, the company clocked a good quarter in terms of both revenue growth and EBIDTA margin improvement.
"We will endeavour to maintain this momentum as we continue our journey," he said.
