"A key component of our investment strategy is the hiring, training, and re-skilling of our global workforce to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Nearly half of the global workforce (18,000 employees) were trained in financial year 2018-19 to deepen their domain expertise, develop leadership skills, and create a digital-ready workforce," Murugesh said.
WNS said revenue growth by vertical was broad-based with the banking and financial services, consulting and professional services, insurance, and healthcare verticals each growing at least 10 per cent on a year-on-year basis.
