The country's fourth-largest software services firm, which follows July-June fiscal, will announce its earnings for the July-September 2015 quarter in the fourth week of October.
"The revenue growth is likely to be tepid on account of adverse currency impact; a client specific issue and; skewness in revenue growth due to transition timelines for complex engagements particularly in Infrastructure Services," it had said in a filing to the BSE yesterday.
