The company's revenue increased 17% YoY to ₹25,289 crore as against ₹21,653 crore in the corresponding quarter of last year. However, revenue was below CNBC-TV18's estimate of ₹25,400 crore.

Growth gems progressing well on 5X challenge with a notable milestone achieved at Susten with listing of India’s largest renewable InvIT.

Shah said that TechM is working through challenging operating results but he feels good that the right actions are being taken to turnaround its performance.
