The management reaffirmed the FY25 guidance of 8-10 per cent revenue growth in constant currency and a target of achieving the $1.5 billion revenue run rate.

Geographically, Europe registered strong growth both on a yearly and a sequential basis. Revenues from Europe grew at a rate of 23.7 per cent YoY and 10.6 per cent QoQ, while India grew 12.2 per cent YoY and declined 10.2 per cent on a quarterly basis.

Amit Chadha, CEO and managing director, L&T Technology Services, said, “We are making good progress with our ‘Go Deeper to Scale’ strategy and the simplification of our organisation structure into three main segments. Mobility grew by 6 per cent sequentially driven by our differentiated presence across EV, SDV and connected car technology that helped us win one $30 million deal and two $15 million deals during the quarter. In Hi-Tech and Sustainability, our new strategy is driving a significant increase in the pipeline and large deal discussions that make us confident of a pickup in growth momentum.”
