    Management comments
    Ravi Pandit, Chairman & Group CEO, said, "We are consolidating on our vertical focus and are being increasingly recognized as a strong niche player, the divesting of Diversified Financial Services is a part of the same strategy. In the current economic environment customers are looking at partners that add special value and our vertical focus enables that. Our revenue and profit growth this quarter are a result of our sharp focus."

    Kishor Patil, Managing Director and CEO, said, "We are happy with our strong pipeline across verticals and business units, especially the three large deals together worth USD 100 million, place us very well. Our profitability has improved in line with our expectations and our long term currency hedges are expected to bring in more predictability on this front over the next two years. Our performance in this quarter is yet again amongst the best in the industry and we are entering H2 FY12 on a positive note."
