"We are experiencing a once-in-a-generation opportunity for a services company to help businesses maximise their potential with technology. . . I am encouraged by our progress.
While results in any one quarter are transitory snapshots of a long journey, we do see our focussed execution along our strategy starting to produce encouraging results for our clients, shareholders and Infoscions," Infosys chief executive officer and managing director Vishal Sikka said.
Infosys chief operating officer UB Pravin Rao said the company had strong all-round growth during the quarter, driven by recent initiatives around service differentiation, improvement in client mining and higher focus on winning large deals.
"Increase in revenue productivity was significant, volume growth was robust, client metrics and utilisation improved while attrition remained stable," he added.
In dollar terms, the net profit grew 0.2 per cent to $995 million, while revenues rose 7.2 per cent to $4.6 billion in the July-September quarter of 2015-16.
"The impact of significant currency volatility was effectively mitigated by our proactive hedging programme," Bansal said.
