CEO speaks

The financial results are the first under new CEO K Krithivasan, a TCS veteran who succeeded Rajesh Gopinathan in the role.

“It is very satisfying to start the new fiscal year with a string of new marquee deal wins. We remain confident in the longer-term demand for our services , driven by the emergence of new technologies. We are investing early in building capabilities at scale on these new technologies, and in research and innovation, so that we can maximise our participation in these opportunities,” Krithivasan was quoted as saying.
