Krithivasan reported that the company’s revenue grew 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in constant currency, with an operating margin of 24% and a net margin of 19.2%. He noted that annualized AI services revenue crossed $2.6 billion and that the company had a strong order book of $9.5 billion in Q1.

He also said the company remains optimistic that demand will resume in Q2, citing a significant pent-up technology backlog among customers.

“We are not acquiring to increase our revenue. The revenue driver will be the synergy that we build. How are we able to leverage the larger TCS ecosystem and use the capability that we acquire to deliver benefits to our customer?”

“India has the capacity for just about 1.2 into gawatt. Demand in the next 5 6 years is expected to go up to about 10 gaw and the supply is expected to be only about 5 to 6 gaw in next 5 years. So there is going to be lot of unmet demand and that's the reason we said like we will commit gawatt of data center over the next 5 to 7 years.”

“if you take consumer business definitely there is a weakness because uh if the tariffs kick in in a significant way and the cost of goods so cost of goods will go up and then they expect a uh reduction in the volume and maybe a profit.”

“while there is uncertainty there is some programs are being paused some decisions have been delayed uh we are not seeing major project cancellation structured and uh this quarter still like uh amidst all this like we had one of the best uh order books also uh almost 12.2 into billion as a TCV that we have booked.”
