According to report in the PTI, the company struck an optimistic note about the ‘buoyant’ market environment and simultaneously ‘strong momentum across verticals and service lines’ to guide for 12-14 per cent revenue growth for FY23.
In Q4, the net profit jumped from Rs 1,102 crore. The Q4 results of the IT firm were declared on Thursday after market hours.
In a statement, the company said, “For comparison purposes, net income of Q4FY21 and full year FY21 excludes the impact of one-time milestone bonus paid to employees ($78.8 million) and the DTL on Goodwill impact in the tax expense ($165.1 million) in Q4FY21.”
