“Considering that the first half is already over, we would like to revise our guideline with respect to FY23 to around 25-30 percent growth compared to the previous year. Therefore, we are expecting Rs 7,400-7,500 crore, if things go as per our plan. So that would be the revenue guidance for the current year,” he said.
