Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Let me start with a quick view of the broader market. The macro environment remains resilient but uncertainty continues to shape decision making. Technology investment has not slowed. They have become more focused. Clients continue to invest in AI data, cloud, modernization, cybersecurity, and productivity led transformation. Spending today is measured with more rigor, and longer decision cycles. The AI disruption is expanding the market not shrinking it. At the same time, conversations around AI are becoming more intense. As the tokenization landscape evolves, clients are focused on net productivity and require a tighter linkage between investment and outcomes. Despite selective client spending, our pipeline remains healthy. We continue to see strong engagement across our markets and industries. We are executing a consulting led AI powered strategy to help our clients reimagine and redesign their enterprise around intelligence. With the I will now share our financial performance. All numbers are in constant currency. Our IT services revenue for Q1 was $2.61 billion up 0.9% year on year. And down 1.2% sequentially. Our IT services margin was 16% a 1.2% decline year on year. In our markets, Americas remained soft declining both sequentially and on a year on year basis. We continue to see momentum in technology and communications, sector, and some good wins in the consumer sector. As we move into Q2, we are also seeing momentum build up. APMEA's revenue grew sequentially in BFSI. and on a year on year basis. We are encouraged by the momentum we continue to see in this market. Particularly in the BFSI and consumer sectors. Our Europe SMU grew year on year with strong traction in BFSI, technology, and communication. However, energy manufacturing and resources remain soft. We see a healthy pipeline across various regions in Europe, such as UK and Nordics. During the quarter, order booking total $3.4 billion and large deal bookings total $1.6 billion Our order booking includes 13 large deals this quarter. Let me highlight 2 of these deal wins. A leading global animal health care provider selected us to modernize and manage digital operations across their global network of hospitals and clinics. Using Wipro intelligence, we will help transform service operations improve productivity, and enable predictive issue prevention. We are helping the client create a more autonomous technology environment. The goal is to improve experiences for clinical teams employees and customers while increasing operational rig rigor. Second deal win. A leading European specialty chemicals company chose us to run and transform the complex application landscape. Leveraging AI led capabilities through WINGS part of our Wipro intelligence. Excuse me. We will automate operations improve delivery efficiency, and provide greater visibility through an AI powered digital command center. The outcome here will be elevated service quality, higher productivity, and lower operating costs. Across markets and industries, we are helping clients reimagine operations, by embedding AI at the core of their business spanning both physical and digital worlds. In this context, let me share some examples of the work we are already doing with clients. 1. For a global industrial manufacturer we are reimagining finance and procurement through our Winx platform Combining Agentic intelligent orchestration, real time analytics, and AI forward knowledge management. To create a highly automated operating model. In my second example, with 1 of our health care clients, we are deploying multi agent AI systems reducing provider enrollment processing times up to 70%. While automating their manual effort up to 90%. 3. For a leading global technology company, We are improving the quality reasoning, and safety of their next generation AI models through expert led data creation, and AI evaluation. This is delivering significant gains in model accuracy reasoning capability. With a life sciences client, our WINGS platform is transforming pharma coexistence from a document centric labor intensive process into an AI native safety operation. This is powered by autonomous agents and regulatory grid workflows. For a global energy leader, we are defining their enterprise robotic strategy and road map for physical AI. Enabled autonomous operations. Collectively, these engagements demonstrate the breadth of Wipro's AI capabilities strategy and advisory to domain specific solutions. And the wins that I talked about also reflect a broader shift in enterprise priorities. In fact, interestingly today, clients are looking beyond technology modernization alone. The focus is moving towards AI enabled operating models that improve service quality, reduce operational complexity, strengthen resilience, and unlock sustainable productivity gains. And this is where we are well positioned. Let me now share a few additional updates. During the quarter, we closed the acquisition of Mindprint and quickly transitioned from integration planning to execution. While we continue to deepen our relationship with Olam Group, we have also started to see good opportunities in the food and agriculture sector. You may recall last quarter, we launched AI native business and platform suite. Since then, we have moved decisively from strategy to execution. We are building multiple AI powered industry platforms developing new AI native business models, and forging strong partnerships across the AI ecosystem. We have laid the foundation strengthen the team, with specialized AI native leadership talent. And define our road map to establish clear priorities for the next phase of growth. As you would have been aware, we recently launched Applied AI Center of Excellence for cloud models powered by Anthropic. This strengthens our ability to help clients rapidly adopt frontier AI capabilities. While maintaining enterprise grade controls and governance. Capco our BFSI consulting arm, won the AI governance and risk excellence award. At the OpenAI Partner Summit. And our UK AI lab won the OpenAI Codec Hackathon for an AI powered banking solution. With that, let me shift focus to the next quarter. In quarter 2, we are guiding for a sequential growth of -1.5% to +0.5% in constant currency terms. As we continue to navigate macro uncertainty, and geopolitical instability, our priorities are to remain disciplined in execution. Helping clients navigate complexity and creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders. With that, let me hand it over to Aparna to share financial performance in more detail. Aparna C. Iyer: Thank you. Thank you, Srinivas. Good evening, everybody, and thank you for joining us. Let me share a quick update on the financial performance, and then we can open for the Q&A. Our IT services revenues grew 0.9% year on year in constant currency. While declining 1.2% sequentially. This is well within our guided range. Our operating margins for the quarter was 16%. We declined 1.2% year on year. The reasons are because of the incremental impact of salary increase, ramp up of large deals won earlier, and our ongoing investments in AI. This was partially offset by the rupee depreciation benefits and the other operational efficiencies. We remain focused on returning back to our previously stated narrowband. Income for the quarter was $33.6 billion Our EPS for the quarter was INR 3.2, Both grew 0.6% year on year. Moving on to our SMU and sector performance. All the growth numbers that I will share will be on constant currency. A1 was flattish year on year while declining 2.3% sequentially. Americas too declined 7.3% year on year, and 2.5% declined sequentially. Europe grew 6% on a year on year basis while declining 0.9% sequentially. APMEA grew 13.5% on a year on year basis and grew 4.4% sequentially. Moving on to sector performance, BFSI grew 2.6% on a year on year basis, while declining 1.2% sequentially. Consumer grew 1.9% year on year, and point 7% growth sequentially. Technology and communication grew 10.8% on a year on year basis. And grew point 2% sequentially. Health, declined 2.6% sequentially and 0.0% year on year. EMR, also declined 3.6% sequentially and 8.9% year on year. Our operating cash flow stood at 98% of net income for Q1. Our gross cash, including investments, was at $4.3 billion Accounting yield for the average investment held in India was stable at 7.2%. Our ETR was at 22.6% for Q1. Versus 21.6% in the same time last year. In terms of the guidance, to reiterate what was stated by Srinivas, our IT services business segment with expected to be in the range of $2.574 billion to $2.627 billion This translates to a sequential guidance of minus 1.5% to a plus 0.5% in constant currency terms. Lastly, in the recently concluded board meeting, our board of directors have declared interim dividend of INR 2 Including this dividend, our payouts in the last 1 year we would be returning in excess of $3 billion in terms of the cash back to shareholders. With this, we can open up for Q&A. Operator: Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. Take our first question. From the line of Ravi Menon from Axis Capital. Please go ahead. Ravi Menon: Hi, thank you for the opportunity. Aparna, did not surprise that you have added headcount despite the guidance that implies a sequential decline. Attrition sales seems to be well under control. Utilization has also come off a slightly quarter on quarter. So why add headcount now when you are still looking at a decline in revenue next quarter? Aparna C. Iyer: Our headcount also includes the people who joined us from the Mindprint team, Ravi. If you exclude that, our headcount has actually gone down quarter on quarter. And guidance, of course, includes the revenues from stream completely in Q2. Saurabh Govil: Just to add, outside of the headquarter has actually gone down by 2.5 thousand 2 thousand 5 hundred people. Aparna C. Iyer: that is correct. Rishi. Ravi Menon: Thank you. And, Srini, in BFSI, most of the peers seem to be doing well. And you also spoke of how things seem to be looking up there. But this quarter, then, we had a decline. Who are clients with big issue? And, you know, is this something that you expect to maybe hold us back a little bit in Q2 as well? Or you think BFSI comes back to growth? So, Ravi, Hi, Ravi. Srinivas Pallia: it is Srinivas here. So as far as the BFS sector is concerned, specifically for us, Ravi, if you have seen we did see a year on year growth of 2.6% in constant terms. The sector declined 1.2% sequentially. Now, if I were to give a little bit of a color in terms of, how the sectors perform, Europe and APMEA, Ravi, actually year on year, have seen a growth. In fact, Europe, the FSI growth was led by a ramp up of the large deal we had announced earlier. And if I were to look at APMEA, we continue to see very good traction. With both in terms of ramp ups and also existing deals and the new deal wins that we have seen. I also want to call out that we see good momentum in the BFSI in Americas as well. So net, yes, you know, I agree with your comment. And having said that, we are also seeing good traction for us as well, Ravi. Ravi Menon: Thanks, Ravi. We appreciate that. So we can look at this as maybe you know, 1 off client incident, something like that. Is there is there any cutback or did you lose out of any vendor consolidation? Could you comment on what caused the decline this got? Srinivas Pallia: There are 2 aspects, Ravi. 1 is, you know, clearly, some of the largest that we have won had taken a lot more time for us to scale, ramp up. I think now the clients are moving. that is the reason why I said, with The Americas because we have 1 couple of deals out-- the large deals out there. Of them are, are coming back. 1 is the nature of the demand. Discretionary spend has been slower, and some of the decision making has been, slower. But we think, will come back. 1 thing that we are seeing while, you know, from a customer perspective, in the BFSI sector, there are 2, you know, a couple of opportunities that we see, Ravi. 1 is on the cost and vendor consolidation. Remains the key drivers for our clients. Rishi? And, you know, this is very similar to the commentary that we gave in the last few quarters. However, Ravi, what we are now seeing is that deep savings are getting reinvested by some of our clients into AI capabilities. And that is where I think, you know, the they will know the new transformation projects and discretionary spend, will come back. that is how we see it, Ravi. Thank you, Ravi. Ravi Menon: 1 last question, if I may. You know, on AI, your couple of peers have found very different strategies on setting up a very big, large data centers, someone else looking at a small capacity data center, which they think, they will, but they will own the entire hardware stack. Anything that you are thinking among those lines, So, Ravi, I think, at a macro level, the way we see is that AI is a structural opportunity for us and for the industry in general. Srinivas Pallia: Having said that, the specialist in AI, you know, to be honest, is not just driven by models. Rishi? For us, having the client context, understanding the domain and industry aspect of it, understanding the process, Rishi? And the you know, driving the data for an AI implementation becomes very critical. And also, you know, clients are looking at security and change management, organization change management. In this context. So that is where I would say that, you know, the direction that, AI is moving on. And for us, Ravi, you know, very clearly, we are pivoted to AI. And in you know, we are doing an AI first approach. And our consulting led you know, you know, AI power strategy is all about that. When you are doing a run aspect of it, which is application management infrastructure, or in a process. We are doing with the AI first approach, and, we are clearly built a strong platform around things, which we are gaining very, a good traction, which is our delivery platform. And the second thing, you know, I mean, obviously, you are busy. Now listening to a lot of commentary around that, the software development life cycle, there is a dramatic improvement in productivity. Now the I do not know. We have to have the context of if it is a pure play green project, which is like a tool, like a, let's say, Python, the productivity is significantly higher. But on the other end of the spectrum, it is a complex code. And, you know, if you do not have the right, you know, target environment which is dot 4 legacy, deployment and production also becomes difficult. There, the productivity, you know, comes down, significantly. And so that is how we see it. But for us, the biggest opportunity is all the new AI services that we are seeing in the market. Now we call that as reimagine AI. Now, I think it is very important also, you know, what we are trying to do. Maybe I will double click later, but we have clearly created the AI native unit which I talked about. We are building the industry and cross industry platforms. In fact, some of the, you know, margin dilution that you talk you know, the question that was asked, investing in this. I think it is very important for us to invest for the future. So that is number 1, AI native unit. Second, no. We have the half a billion dollar Wipro Ventures, and now we are specifically focused on targeting AI and data and, you know, security startups. This will also enhance our overall Wipro intelligence platform. 3. We invested in our Wipro innovation network. We actually launched the innovation networks for our clients, and that is actually picking up. The clients are co innovating with us in those innovation network. And finally, you know, ecosystem partnering with the frontier AI companies. So that is how we are driving AI. Across our industries, and each industry is different in terms of adoption. But everyone wants to be you know, in the AI journey, Ravi. Yeah. We said but I have 1 more thing. When you said that the much productivity benefit in the you know, the old complex code. So then can we say that there is all the investor concern about significant, you know, erosion on the existing book of business Can we say that this is really unfounded? So the way I see it, Ravi, is that, you know, I am looking at for the industry and for Wipro. What are the like I said, structural-- what are the structural opportunities? Today, if you look at the traction that we have, the reimagined AI services, that is how I call them, you know, new AI services. 1, AI advisory and change management. that is something that, you know, for example, Capco is leading it to kinda OpenAI gave us an award around that. So is data priming for AI. Rishi? You know, if you do not have the right and the enterprises are struggling with data. We have to be honest about that. Enterprises have told us we have got too much of data. We do not know whether it is we do we need all this data to get the AI right. 3. Is, you know, agent implementation and managing agents. Organization is building number of agents. How do you deploy them? How do you orchestrate, deploy, and manage them? And, Ravi, you know, the token tokenization, token economics, whatever you call it, it is going, you know, it is actually skyrocketing right now. So then they especially the CFOs are saying, you know, hey, you know, what is my ROI? So do I use a high end LLM for a particular process of the workflow? Do I use an open source model? So that is the conversation that is going on. We are having the deep tech, we are able to actually have that conversation with the client. So there are multiple, new opportunities, whether it is model ops, You know, EID is something that is picking up within enterprises. You would have heard of Sovereign AI. So that is another 1. And finally, every client wants us to make AI secure and, you know, responsible. So to me, NetNET is a positive, you know, in terms of new services that are coming in. Short term, SDLC life cycle will continue to bring in higher productivity and shorter development life cycle. But I just want to call out even there, human it is going to be human plus AI always. Because in a software development life cycle, the business requirement, the user stories, you need humans. At the same time, when you are deploying and taking into production, need human intervention. Of course, you know, AI can prove millions of lines of code, but we need to make sure that code is optimized. So that is how I see it, Ravi. Ravi Menon: Thanks so much for the detail, Srini. Beautiful. Thank you. Operator: Thank you. Next question is from the line of Nitin Padmanabhan from Investec. Nitin Padmanabhan: Yes. Hi, good evening. Thanks the opportunity. First, I wanted your thoughts on how should we see margins recovering to the band that we stated? Do you think it will be gradual through the year? Or do you think there is any element that can help faster sort of a recovery, considering we do not have wage increases? And has done behind. The second is from an overall business perspective, when do you think the headwinds sort of received where we can start showing some level of growth as a business. And do you think these headwinds are largely over in Q2? Or do you see any specific things that could linger? Yeah. Thank you. Srinivas Pallia: Hi, Nitin. Srinivas here. On the margin aspect, Nitin, Aparna talked about it as well in our commentary The reason why we had a drop of 120 basis points is number 1, I know the impact of MSI we had, it is coming into this quarter. 2. The investments that we are making, in AI and in deals. that is the second part. 3. Is, you know, the acquisition some of the acquisitions that we made, and they are actually coming to execution mode right now. So the impact of the, you know, impact we had on the margin. Having said that, Nitin, our mission is clearly to go back to the narrow band that we have been talking about, 17% to 17.5%. Now the question that you are asking is what is the time frame? Rishi? Now, in the context of the volatility that we see, in the context of the revenue situation that we see, right, I do not want to predict exactly based you know, when we will get there. But the point is that we want to get there. If you noticed in the last 2 years also, Nitin, now, despite challenges with the revenue, we continue to stay focused on margin improvements. You can be rest assured, we will continue that part. However, I know I want to clearly articulate we want to invest in our new AI native business We want to because when you are doing an AI native business, you need and now you also need to have the right talent, and you need to have the right infrastructure to build the new products, new platforms, and solutions as well. So it is a combination of all this, Nitin. Nitin Padmanabhan: Yeah. Qualitatively, do you think it is fair to assume that it is gradual rather than quicker? Just a thought process is fine. Srinivas Pallia: Got it. The endeavor is to reach where we want to reach. And if you look at the within, there are multiple levers for us from a operational perspective. But that is you can take the cost out in FPP both in terms of automation AI and productivity. Now we have other levels including, you know, G and A and so on and so forth. You know? I do not think bench utilization has been higher. that is another lever that we have. How do you restructure the pyramid right, in the context of AI? How much of the projects and programs you can, you know, run it through agents and how many of our current existing programs we can identify all the levers that we are looking at, Nitin, and we will stay focused on that. But the point the message I wanted to give you is that despite all this, you will also want to continue to invest in our future is very, very critical because the world is pivoting to AI. We have already pivoted to AI. And we will continue our journey around consulting led India forward, and we will stay focused on that. The pro intelligence platform, delivery platforms and the industry cross industry plat platforms, we are seeing good traction in And in the future, the consumption will be platform plus service, not just pure play service. Nitin Padmanabhan: Surendra. And from a growth perspective? When do you think the and then that you are seeing sort of the seat? Srinivas Pallia: Yeah. So if you if you if you look at it from a growth perspective, the thing, typically, we give just 1 quarter view of our guidance. Rishi? Like I said, the demand environment remains soft. That is reflected in our quarter 2 guidance. Having said that, and, Nathan, I just want to call out the point that I made that we are seeing good traction building up in Americas in the BFSI segment. Rishi? Now, which was a question that in the Ravi had asked. Second, EMR, which is, you know, energy manufacturing resources sector, which was very soft in Europe and APMEA. We have won couple of deals in Europe in this segment. We will see that, you know, coming in delivery. Rishi? So to me, also, the way the customer takes the cost out, then they start shifting their, you know, budgets to AI. You know, we are ready for that. that is how I see it. So I cannot give a commentary terms of how our quarters will go because I want to stay within our the quarter to guidance. Nitin Padmanabhan: Surendra. Fair enough. Thank you, Srinivas. All the very best. Operator: Thank you. Next question is from the line of Vibhor Singhal from NuvaMa Institutional Equities. Please go ahead. Vibhor Singhal: Yes. Hi. Thanks for taking my question. So, Srini, a couple of questions from my side. I think 2 verticals have kind of dragged the growth this quarter. Top energy and health care. You mentioned about energy that the softness in the European markets and we have won a couple of deals. So good to hear that we will probably have recovering that soon. what is your take on the health care segment as this segment has been 1 of the 1 of our key segments in which we were 1 of the early And at this point Sir, if I, Vibhor, Vibhor, sorry to interrupt you. Srinivas Pallia: You know, could not hear you properly. I am sorry. Could you just repeat the question? Operator: Thank you. Yeah. Sure. Please go ahead, Vibhor. Yeah. Vibhor Singhal: I hope I am audible now. Yes. Yeah. Sorry for that, Srini. Yeah. So my question was basically on the 2 verticals which dragged the growth this time. 1 was the ENU, which you mentioned that it was because and good to hear that, there are deals that we have bundled ramp up in the coming quarters. On the health care vertical, what is the view that we are looking at? Is I mean, This we used to be-- I mean, we were 1 of the pioneers of this industry. From the peers, we hear a lot of comment. A lot of companies are kind of incubating their health care vertical because of the strong demand that they are seeing. Especially from the payer side and some, of course, in the provider side as well. What is the out outlook on that vertical in terms of deals that we might have won and when using that vertical kind of comes back to growth. I will have a couple of follow ups if you can answer this Sure, Vibhor. Srinivas Pallia: I think, you know, your observation is very valid. For us, health care sector has degrown by 2% sequentially. If you look at from a year on year basis, 3%. See, what has what has happened is especially when I say healthcare, We have got payers, we got providers, we got life sciences, and we have got medical device know, devices companies. These are the fourth industry segments the health care sector. Rishi. We have a huge presence, in, payers and providers in the U.S. The impact that we had is because of the U.S. healthcare ecosystem. Rishi, which is facing sustained pressure both from structural and demographic forces due to the situation, which is very much you know, within the U-- in the U.S. context. Rishi? So what we have seen in some of these companies are, you know, because of the pressures that they have, from the whole government and so on so forth. Rishi? Is they have been their budgets have been flattish for us. In some places, we have seen the negative growth. They are also there is a lot of pressure on in terms of taking the cost out. And also, most of the budgets right now have kind of, you know, being reallocated to some kind of discretionary spend, but towards AI, and big portion of it is on the compliance report. So, to me, the more they use AI and automation aggressively, and, you know, offset the cost pressures, I think, you know, that would help us going forward. So we are staying focused on the regulatory mandates like I talked about, like, you know, both Medicare Medicaid and ACA. If you recollect, we have a huge platform that supports, these aspects. Member onboarding in terms of member services that we need to do you know, how that, you know, how that has evolved for us in the last 1 to 2 quarters had an impact on the numbers that you see. Having said that, you know, if I look at the opportunities that we see, right, you know, especially reimagining their some of their processes with AI. So we have got, you know, the claims is 1 important thing. Clients are looking at taking the cost out on contact centers Also, you know, now more and more with the HIPAA compliant, and the regulatory compliance coming into picture, they are able to deploy AI more confidently into clinical operations, including the regulatory processes. So I see these as our new opportunities that are coming in. We are staying focused on that, Vibhor. Vibhor Singhal: Got it. Got it. Any timeline that you would be able to provide that you think healthcare vertical should see some recovery? Srinivas Pallia: So Vibhor, like I said, you know, I do not want to forecast beyond quarter 2. You know? So quarter 2 is, you know, all this that I talked to you about is baked in. Having said that, you know, AI, you know like I said, you know, AI is a structural I see this opportunity in every industry verticals within the care system report. Including for providers. Because they also want to, you know, improve their efficiency. Let's look at providers today. You know, they depend a lot on these products like Epic, who are also making it more AI. Are actually integrating their provider systems into payer systems And then also that and then, you employee, you know, the members and then the patients They can actually, you know, have a end to end view of how the medical Medicare, medical systems work as well. So these are the opportunities that are coming in. We are having the conversations around that as well, Vibhor. But I am not giving you a specific timeline at this point in time. Vibhor Singhal: Got it. Got it. This is helpful, Srini. Just my second question on the deal wins. The total deal wins and the large deal wins were down quite sharply on a Y-o-Y basis. I would assume it is just a timing kind of a thing because you mentioned the pipeline remains quite strong. So maybe some deals got pushed into Q2 or something like that. Is that correct, Srini? Srinivas Pallia: So, absolutely, Vibhor. You know, if you look at our quarter 1, right, you know, we clearly had a like I said, $3.3 billion worth of booking. All of which $1.6 billion were 13 large deals that contributed to that. Having said that, your point is valid. Some of the decisions on some of these deals have actually slipped to quarter 2. And, you know, I always tell my team, you know, when it flips, you gotta really hold on let it slip because, you know, I am trying to close it in m 1, m 2 rather than wait for the m 3. So that is it. that is the work that we are doing right now. Your point is valid. The observation is valid. The pipeline is healthy. Also, there are lot of deals around cost optimization and vendor consolidation. So also want to call out, Vibhor, that want to give a little bit of color in terms of the kind of pipeline we have. Rishi? So the pipeline you know, 1. Let me give you 1 color. About 1 is sectors. Let me also give you the type of deal outside of these large and mega deals. Rishi? So I called out BFSI, if you remember. Rishi? Americas and Europe, the pipeline is strong, Vibhor. But if I look at from a consumer, you know, we just won couple of deals in America. But, you know, it is I would not want to say that it is you know, big piece, but it is definitely modest in Americas and Europe. In APM, your consumer is weak. that is how I see it, Vibhor. Tech and the comms are very strong. In Americas. I think, you know, that 1 place we are seeing the double-digit growth that I talked about, and I think will continue, you know, we see continue to see strong momentum there. EMR, which you also called out after I said it, right now it is strong in Europe because, we have come back to win. Also, it is strong in Americas, including our LATAM. But, you know, a little bit modest in APMEA, I think, you know, based on what is going on. Health care I did talk about it. Rishi? I want this overall, it is strong, but, you know, but I want to be careful in terms of what we call out. So that is the color from a sector perspective, Vibhor. But if I look at from a opportunity's perspective, there are new opportunities also coming in like I talked about. Rishi? You know, there are clients who are talking to us on sovereign AI. There are clients want to build AI business. Rishi? So those opportunities are also coming in. The size and scale depends upon how much, you know, for example, if I look at AIDC, how much of, you know, design on architecture you do, how much of implementation and delivery. And management that you do. Depends on which part of the project and program we are involved and the size and scale and complexity depends on that, Vibhor. But overall, your point, you know, you know, our pipeline is healthy. Vibhor Singhal: Got it. Got it. Got it. For taking my question, Srini. Just 1 follow-up for Aparna, if I may. Aparna C. Iyer: Aparna, I just wanted to get some color on to look at the margins. In wake of the AI driven deals that we are seeing at this point of time. I mean, I know it is difficult to take a 1-- make a 1-statement analysis that will give the margins that is really margin accretive or dilutive. From an overall point of view, I mean, let's say we are also building SLMs for the client or let's say the application layers for them. There is the token cost involved. So overall, where does the math fit, for these large AI driven deals that we are chasing and we are winning in terms of margin vis a vis our current portfolio? So clearly, the board, I think we like you rightly said, 1 size does not fit all. It will depend deal-to-deal. Wherever the intention is to use AI for you to be able to drive higher productivity and take cost out, for a large operation for a client that the cost take out is priority, you will see that, you know, there will be a lot of productivity forward productivity that gets baked into these. Rishi? See, reimagine AI that, Srinivas spoke about, the parts which are newer, where you are going to be seeing newer spends on account of AI, there we are very confident we will drive a premium and great realization. Similarly, service offerings around data, AI advisory, they will all be very increment like, incrementally net positive to the rate realization and margins. So it will depend on what we are using the AI for and how we are, structuring the deal. So large deal, will remain competitive. You will have some amount of, forward productivity that gets they think. When you are looking at AI over smaller programs, where you are looking at things like data modernization and you are looking at smaller pockets, and you are looking at newer areas, they will be accretive. And that is been our experience thus far and yes. that is it. Got it. Got it. Vibhor Singhal: Great. Thanks, Thanks, Aparna, for the clarification, and thanks a lot, guys, for taking my questions. wish you all the best. Thank you. Operator: We will take our next question from the line of Ravi Kumar from JM Financial. Please go ahead. Analyst: Can you break the 2Q revenue guidance into organic and incremental contribution from inorganic? Aparna C. Iyer: We are not doing that, Ravi. We are not breaking our guidance out. And if you look at it, last quarter we had said you know, mind print was coming in, and we had the guidance, they did 45 days. But in our actual Q1 results, we have had 2 months of it of the revenues being consolidated. You can do the math. Like we typically do, we only disclose in the first quarter. And after that, it is we do not make further disclosure. And the second part of the question is, if using the last earnings calls, you mentioned about client insourcing impacting BFSI. Is that fully blind in this quarter? Or do we see some impact from a going forward perspective as well? No. I think that is behind us. Ravi. Yeah. You. that is all from my side. Operator: Thank you. We will take our last question from the line of Abhishek Bhandari from Nomura. Please go ahead. Analyst: Thank you for the opportunity. Srini, on this call, you guys have mentioned that the large deal environment remains very competitive. I was curious to understand as the degree of competition increased, decreased, or is it stable? And a related question is, you know, how are you future proofing your margins in the wake of such competitive pressures? We already saw some glimpse of, you know, margin headwind in Q1. Which, of course, will recoup through the year. But if the market remains like this, how do you ensure that, you know, we do not trade off the margin for chasing growth? Srinivas Pallia: Yeah. Abhishek, you know, to the first point of first question on the competitive landscape. From a broader industry perspective, Abhishek, you know, if I look at it, AI is reshaping most of the spend allocations. What that means is from our client perspective, the traditional IT, the traditional BPO that we do, and the support has aspects of it, those budgets are getting compressed. So the clients want us to deploy more AI. The clients want us to, you know, you know, kind of disrupt that aspect of the whole process to bring in a genetic aspect of it. So that is a I would say, lever for our clients to, you know, to, you know, improve their budgets for new spend pools around AI. So what so the clients are also driving that not just competition, but also client wants to take the cost out on that. We do have opportunities for us to go, you know, and talk to our clients in terms of example, how we can deploy wings and bring in end to end productivity benefits. Make it more agentic And, you know, of course, you know, the clients are also looking at experience aspect of it, velocity aspect of it, so on and so forth. Now coming to, the so if that is the place there is compression, there is definitely Abhishek. Now the reason I am saying is that sometimes, you know, we will have to look at client to client in terms of their ability and, propensity to implement AI. We have seen certain clients, you know, who want to do it in a lot more faster way, and some of them are saying that, you know, we want to spread it out. So in that context, you know, the pricing aspects also changes and, you know, you know, we have to relook at how the solutioning happens because when you deploy AI quickly, the token cost also, know, increases for our clients. So looking at total cost of ownership. And that is something that, you know, we have been carefully working on Abhishek. And this is something that I think as an industry, as we pro, we will all continue to evolve. Now coming to the margin pressure, I know it is actually related to that. Rishi? If you look at large traditional deal, cost optimization, vendor consolidation, they will be margin pressures because sometimes you want to invest into the deals for now. To, you know, to make it more long term as well, Abhishek. If it is a net new reimagine AI kind of projects and programs, Rishi? You know, the margins are much better. But if it is a traditional work where you have to bring in the productivity through AI, at the same time, help the clients to shift the budgets that are competitive pressures. Got it. Analyst: Thanks, Srini, and all the best for the year. Thanks, Abhishek. Operator: Thank you. I would now like to hand the conference back to Mr. Abhishek Jain for closing comments. Over to you, sir. Abhishek Jain: Yes. Thank you all for joining the call. Case we could not take any questions due to time constraints, please feel free to reach out to the Investor Relations team. Have a nice day.

India's Wipro lags peers after earnings miss, weak forecast

Reuters

By Haripriya Suresh and Sai Ishwarbharath B BENGALURU, July 16 (Reuters) - Wipro missed quarterly earnings estimates and forecast a weak recovery, raising fresh concerns about ‌the Indian IT firm losing ground to rivals as demand in its ‌key Americas market softens. After Thursday's news, its U.S.-listed shares fell as much as 2.2% in pre-market trading and ​underscored the challenge CEO Srinivas Pallia faces in reviving growth at India's No. 4 software-services exporter more than two years after taking charge. "Wipro is lagging its peers," Centrum Broking analyst Piyush Pandey said. "It's possible that the type of legacy deals that Wipro has, is ‌not able to generate sustaining ⁠growth." The Bengaluru-based company's troubles are a sign of the mounting pressure on India's $315 billion IT sector, where cautious clients are cutting non-essential ⁠spending while using AI to squeeze greater efficiency. Rivals Tata Consultancy Services, HCLTech and Tech Mahindra beat quarterly revenue expectations, helped by a depreciating rupee and strength in varying segments. Wipro forecast ​second-quarter revenue ​of $2.57 billion to $2.63 billion, a 1.5% decline ​to 0.5% growth from the quarter ‌ended June. Analysts had expected guidance of between a 1% decline and a 1% increase. Revenue rose 10.6% year-over-year to 244.79 billion rupees ($2.54 billion) in the first quarter, missing analysts' average estimate of 247.76 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG. Net profit edged up 0.6% to 33.52 billion rupees, underwhelming estimates of 34.42 billion rupees. Total deal ‌wins for Wipro fell to $3.37 billion from $5 billion ​a year earlier. The Americas market declined due to ​client-specific issues and tech spending cuts ​in the healthcare segment, CEO Pallia said, without sharing further details. Wipro's ‌operating margin slipped to 16% from ​17.3% in both the ​preceding quarter and a year earlier, as salary hikes and the ramp-up of several large deals weighed. The company warned of "near-term margin volatility" as it invests in ​employees and strategic growth areas ‌amid a rapidly evolving technology landscape, CFO Aparna Iyer said.

Wipro Q1 Earnings Call Highlights

MarketBeat
Interested in Wipro Limited? Here are five stocks we like better. Wipro’s Q1 IT services revenue rose 0.9% year over year in constant currency to $2.61 billion, but declined 1.2% sequentially as margins slipped to 16.0% amid wage hikes, large deal ramp-ups and AI investments. Demand was uneven across regions and industries: Europe and APMEA grew, while the Americas remained soft. BFSI and technology/communications showed some strength, but health care and energy/manufacturing/resources weakened. AI is now central to Wipro’s strategy, with the company highlighting $1.6 billion in large deal bookings, new AI-led wins, and ongoing investments in platforms, partnerships and venture funding, even as second-quarter guidance remained cautious. Wipro (NYSE:WIT) reported modest year-over-year growth in its fiscal first quarter IT services revenue while management highlighted continued pressure from cautious client spending, longer decision cycles and investment in artificial intelligence capabilities. On the company’s Q1 FY 2027 earnings call, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Srinivas Pallia said the macro environment remains “resilient,” but uncertainty is still influencing client decisions. He said technology spending has not stopped, but clients are applying more rigor to investments and focusing on areas such as AI, data, cloud, modernization, cybersecurity and productivity-led transformation. → 3 Space Stocks That Could Outshine SpaceX After Its IPO “The AI disruption is expanding the market, not shrinking it,” Pallia said. He added that clients are increasingly focused on the productivity gains and business outcomes tied to AI spending.

These pressures were partially offset by rupee depreciation benefits and operational efficiencies. Net income for the quarter was INR 33.6 billion, while earnings per share were INR 3.2. Both increased 0.6% year over year, according to Iyer. Operating cash flow stood at 98% of net income. → Why ASML’s AI Monopoly Is Still Getting Stronger The company’s board declared an interim dividend of INR 2. Iyer said that including the dividend, Wipro would have returned more than $3 billion in cash to shareholders over the last year. Pallia said the Americas region remained soft, declining both sequentially and year over year. However, he pointed to momentum in the technology and communication sector, some wins in the consumer sector and improving momentum in BFSI heading into the second quarter. APMEA revenue grew both sequentially and year over year, with strength in BFSI and consumer. Europe grew year over year, supported by traction in BFSI, technology and communication, though Pallia said energy, manufacturing and resources remained soft. Iyer provided additional constant-currency detail by strategic market unit: Americas 1 was flat year over year and declined 2.3% sequentially. Americas 2 declined 7.3% year over year and 2.5% sequentially. Europe grew 6% year over year and declined 0.9% sequentially. APMEA grew 13.5% year over year and 4.4% sequentially. By sector, BFSI grew 2.6% year over year but declined 1.2% sequentially. Consumer grew 1.9% year over year and 0.7% sequentially, while technology and communication grew 10.8% year over year and 0.2% sequentially. Health declined 3% year over year, and energy, manufacturing and resources declined 8.9% year over year. Wipro reported total order bookings of $3.4 billion for the quarter, including $1.6 billion in large deal bookings across 13 large deals. Pallia highlighted a deal with a global animal healthcare provider to modernize and manage digital operations across its hospital and clinic network. He said Wipro would use Wipro Intelligence to help transform service operations, improve productivity and support predictive issue prevention. He also cited a deal with a European specialty chemicals company to run and transform its application landscape using AI-led capabilities through Winx, part of Wipro Intelligence. Pallia said the work is aimed at improving automation, delivery efficiency and service quality while reducing operating costs. During the analyst question-and-answer session, Pallia said some deal decisions had slipped into the second quarter, but he described the pipeline as healthy. He cited strength in BFSI in the Americas and Europe, technology and communication in the Americas, and energy, manufacturing and resources in Europe and the Americas. Management repeatedly emphasized AI as a central strategic focus. Pallia said Wipro is pursuing a “consulting-led AI-powered strategy” and has moved from strategy to execution in its AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit, which was launched in the prior quarter. He said Wipro is building AI-powered industry platforms, developing AI-native business models and strengthening partnerships across the AI ecosystem. The company also recently launched an Applied AI Center of Excellence for Claude models powered by Anthropic. Pallia said this is intended to help clients adopt frontier AI capabilities while maintaining enterprise-grade controls and governance. Pallia described several client examples, including using multi-agent AI systems for a healthcare client to reduce provider enrollment processing times by up to 70% and automate manual effort by up to 90%. He also cited AI work in finance and procurement, AI model evaluation, pharmacovigilance and enterprise robotics strategy. In response to analyst questions, Pallia said AI is creating new service opportunities in areas such as AI advisory, change management, data preparation, agent implementation, MLOps, sovereign AI and responsible AI. He also said productivity gains in software development vary depending on whether work involves greenfield projects or complex legacy code. For the second quarter, Wipro expects IT services revenue between $2.574 billion and $2.627 billion. That translates to sequential growth of negative 1.5% to positive 0.5% in constant currency terms. Management declined to provide a specific timeline for returning margins to its previously stated 17% to 17.5% “narrow band.” Pallia said Wipro remains focused on operational levers such as automation, productivity, utilization and pyramid restructuring, while continuing to invest in AI capabilities. On headcount, Iyer said the company’s reported employee additions included workers who joined through the Mindsprint acquisition. Excluding Mindsprint, headcount declined by 2,500 during the quarter, Pallia added. Iyer also said the impact from client insourcing in BFSI discussed in earlier calls is now behind the company. Pallia said Wipro is navigating macro uncertainty and geopolitical instability with a focus on disciplined execution, helping clients manage complexity and building sustainable value for stakeholders.

Q: What is the status of the healthcare vertical, and when is recovery expected? A: Srinivas Pallia explained that the healthcare sector declined due to pressures in the U.S. ecosystem.

About Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. Such non-GAAP financial measures are measures of our historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that are adjusted to exclude or include amounts that are excluded or included, as the case may be, from the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. The table at the end provides IT Services Revenue on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by translating IT Services Revenue from the current reporting period into U.S. dollars based on the currency conversion rate in effect for the prior reporting period. We refer to growth rates in constant currency so that business results may be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Further, in the normal course of business, we may divest a portion of our business which may not be strategic. We refer to the growth rates in both reported and constant currency adjusting for such divestments in order to represent the comparable growth rates. Our key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Our key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are not comparable to, nor should be substituted for, an analysis of our revenue over time and involve estimates and judgments. In addition to our non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure should be carefully evaluated.

Operator

Ladies and gentlemen, good day and welcome to Wipro Limited Q1 FY 2027 earnings conference call. As a reminder, all participant lines will be in the listen-only mode, and there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions after the presentation concludes. Should you need assistance during the conference call, please signal an operator by pressing star and then zero on your touch-tone phone.

Operator

Please note that this conference is being recorded, and the duration for today's call will be for 45 minutes. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Abhishek Jain, Vice President, Corporate Treasurer, and Head of Investor Relations. Thank you, and over to you.

Abhishek Jain

Thank you, Yashaswi. Good evening, and warm welcome to our Q1 FY 2027 earnings call. We'll begin the call with the business highlights and overview by Srinivas Pallia, our Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, followed by updates on financial overview by our CFO, Aparna Iyer. We also have our CHRO, Saurabh Govil, and our Chief Strategist and Technology Officer, Hari Shetty, on this call. Afterwards, the operator will open the bridge for Q&A with our management team.

Abhishek Jain

Before Srini starts, let me draw your attention to the fact that during this call, we may make certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on management's current expectations and are associated with uncertainties and risks, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those expected. The uncertainties and risk factors are explained in our detailed filings with the SEC.

Abhishek Jain

Wipro does not undertake any obligation to update the forward-looking statements to reflect events and circumstances after the date of filing. The conference call will be archived, and a transcript will be available on our website. With that, I would like to turn over the call to Srini.

Srinivas Pallia

Thank you, Abhishek. Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us today. Let me start with a quick view of the broader market. The macro environment remains resilient, but uncertainty continues to shape decision-making. Technology investment has not slowed. They have become more focused. Clients continue to invest in AI, data, cloud, modernization, cybersecurity, and productivity-led transformation.

Srinivas Pallia

Spending today is measured with more rigor and longer decision cycles. The AI disruption is expanding the market, not shrinking it. At the same time, conversations around AI are becoming more intense. As the tokenization landscape evolves, clients are focused on net productivity and require a tighter linkage between investment and outcomes.

Srinivas Pallia

Despite selective client spending, our pipeline remains healthy. We continue to see strong engagement across our markets and industries. We are executing a consulting-led AI-powered strategy to help our clients reimagine and redesign their enterprise around intelligence.

Srinivas Pallia

With that, I'll now share our financial performance. All numbers are in constant currency. Our IT services revenue for quarter one was $2.61 billion, up 0.9% year-on-year, and down 1.2% sequentially. Our IT services margin was 16%, a 1.2% decline year-on-year. In our markets, Americas remains soft, declining both sequentially and on a year-on-year basis. We continue to see momentum in technology and communication sector and some good wins in the consumer sector.

Srinivas Pallia

As we move into quarter two, we are also seeing momentum build up in BFSI. APMEA revenue grew sequentially and on a year-on-year basis. We are encouraged by the momentum we continue to see in this market, particularly in the BFSI and consumer sectors. Our Europe SMU grew year-on-year with strong traction in BFSI, technology, and communication. However, energy manufacturing and resources remain soft.

Srinivas Pallia

We see a healthy pipeline across various regions in Europe such as U.K. and Nordics. During the quarter, order booking totaled $3.4 billion, and large deal bookings totaled $1.6 billion. Our order booking includes 13 large deals this quarter. Let me highlight two of these deal wins. A leading global animal healthcare provider selected us to modernize and manage digital operations across their global network of hospitals and clinics. Using Wipro Intelligence, we will help transform service operations, improve productivity, and enable predictive issue prevention. We are helping the client create a more autonomous technology environment. The goal is to improve experiences for clinical teams, employees, and customers while increasing operational rigor. In our second deal win, a leading European specialty chemicals company chose us to run and transform their complex application landscape. Leveraging AI-led capabilities through Winx, part of our Wipro Intelligence. Excuse me.

Srinivas Pallia

We will automate operations, improve delivery efficiency, and provide greater visibility through an AI-powered digital command center. The outcome here will be elevated service quality, higher productivity, and lower operating costs. Across markets and industries, we are helping clients reimagine operations by embedding AI at the core of their business, spanning both physical and digital worlds. In this context, let me share some examples of the work we are already doing with clients. One, for a global industrial manufacturer, we are reimagining finance and procurement through our Winx platform. Combining agentic AI, intelligent orchestration, real-time analytics, and AI-powered knowledge management to create a highly automated operating model. In my second example, with one of our healthcare clients, we are deploying multi-agent AI systems, reducing provider enrollment processing times up to 70%, while automating their manual effort up to 90%.

Srinivas Pallia

Three, for a leading global technology company, we are improving the quality, reasoning, and safety of their next-generation AI models through expert-led data creation and AI evaluation. This is delivering significant gains in model accuracy and reasoning capability. With a life sciences client, our Winx platform is transforming pharma coexistence from a document-centric, labor-intensive process into an AI-native safety operation. This is powered by autonomous agents and regulatory-grade workflows. For a global energy leader, we are defining their enterprise robotic strategy and roadmap for physical AI-enabled autonomous operations. Collectively, these engagements demonstrate the breadth of Wipro's AI capabilities, from strategy and advisory to domain-specific solutions. The wins that I talked about also reflect a broader shift in enterprise priorities. In fact, interestingly, today, clients are looking beyond technology modernization alone.

Srinivas Pallia

The focus is moving towards AI-enabled operating models that improve service quality, reduce operational complexity, strengthen resilience, and unlock sustainable productivity gains. This is where we are well-positioned. Let me now share a few additional updates. During the quarter, we closed the acquisition of Mindsprint and quickly transitioned from integration planning to execution. While we continue to deepen our relationship with Olam Group, we have also started to see good opportunities in the food and agriculture sector. You may recall last quarter, we launched AI-Native Business & Platforms Unit. Since then, we have moved decisively from strategy to execution. We are building multiple AI-powered industry platforms, developing new AI-native business models, and forging strong partnerships across the AI ecosystem. We have laid the foundation, strengthened the team with specialized AI-native leadership talent, and defined our roadmap to establish clear priorities for the next phase of growth.

Srinivas Pallia

As you would have been aware, we recently launched Applied AI Center of Excellence for Claude models powered by Anthropic. This strengthens our ability to help clients rapidly adopt frontier AI capabilities while maintaining enterprise-grade controls and governance. Capco, our BFSI consulting arm, won the AI Governance and Risk Excellence Award at the OpenAI Partner Summit. Our U.K. AI lab won the OpenAI Codex Hackathon for an AI-powered banking solution. With that, let me shift focus to the next quarter. In quarter two, we are guiding for a sequential growth of -1.5% to +0.5% in constant currency terms. As we continue to navigate macro uncertainty and geopolitical instability, our priority is to remain disciplined in execution, helping clients navigate complexity and creating sustainable value for all our stakeholders. With that, let me hand it over to Aparna to share financial performance in more detail. Thank you.

Aparna Iyer

Thank you, Srini. Good evening, everybody, and thank you for joining us. Let me share a quick update on the financial performance, and then we can open up the queue for questions. Our IT services revenues grew 0.9% year-on-year in constant currency while declining 1.2% sequentially. This is well within our guided range. Our operating margins for the quarter were 16%. We declined 1.2% year-on-year. The reasons are because of the incremental impact of salary increase, ramp-up of large deals won earlier, and our ongoing investments in AI. This was partially offset by the rupee depreciation benefits and the other operational efficiencies. We remain focused on returning back to our previously stated narrow band. Net income for the quarter was INR 33.6 billion. Our EPS for the quarter was INR 3.2. Both grew 0.6% year-on-year. Moving on to our SMU and sector performance.

Aparna Iyer

All the growth numbers that I will share will be on constant currency. A1 was flattish year-on-year, while declining 2.3% sequentially. Americas 2 declined 7.3% year-on-year and 2.5% decline sequentially. Europe grew 6% on a year-on-year basis while declining 0.9% sequentially. APMEA grew 13.5% on a year-on-year basis and grew 4.4% sequentially. Moving on to sector performance. BFSI grew 2.6% on a year-on-year basis while declining 1.2% sequentially. Consumer grew 1.9% year-on-year and 0.7% growth sequentially. Technology and communication grew 10.8% on a year-on-year basis and grew 0.2% sequentially. Health declined 2.6% sequentially and 3.0% year-on-year. EMR also declined 3.6% sequentially and 8.9% year-on-year. Our operating cash flow stood at 98% of net income for quarter one. Our gross cash, including investments, was at INR 4.3 billion. Accounting yield for the average investment held in India was stable at 7.2%.

Aparna Iyer

Our ETR was at 22.6% for quarter one versus 21.6% in the same time last year. In our terms of the guidance to reiterate what was stated by Srini, our IT services business segment is expected to be in the range of $2.574 billion-$2.627 billion. This translates to a sequential guidance of -1.5% to a +0.5% in constant currency terms. Lastly, in the recently concluded board meeting, our board of directors have declared an interim dividend of INR 2. Including this dividend, our payouts in the last one year, we would be returning in excess of $3 billion in terms of the cash back to shareholders. With this, we can open up for Q&A.

Operator

Thank you very much. We will now begin the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one on their touchtone telephone. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use handsets while asking a question. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. We'll take our first question from the line of Ravi Menon from Axis Capital. Please go ahead.

Ravi Menon

Hi. Thank you for the opportunity. Aparna, a little surprised that you have added headcount despite the guidance that implies a sequential decline. Attrition still seems to be well under control. Utilization has also come off slightly quarter-on-quarter. Why add headcount now when you're still looking at a decline in revenue next quarter?

Aparna Iyer

Our headcount also includes the people who joined us from the Mindsprint team, Ravi. If you exclude that, our headcount has actually gone down quarter-on-quarter. Our guidance, of course, includes the revenues from Mindsprint completely in quarter two.

Srinivas Pallia

Just to add, outside of spend, the headcount has actually gone down by 2,500 people.

Aparna Iyer

2,500 people. That's what.

Ravi Menon

Right. Thank you. Srini, in BFSI, most of those peers seem to be doing well, and you also spoke of how things seem to be looking up there. For this quarter, we had a decline. Was it a client-specific issue, and is this something that you expect to maybe hold us back a little bit in Q2 as well? Do you think BFSI comes back to growth?

Srinivas Pallia

Ravi. Hi, Ravi. It's Srini here. As far as the BFSI sector is concerned, specifically for us, Ravi, if you've seen, we did see a year-on-year growth of 2.6% in constant terms. However, the sector declined 1.2% sequentially. If I were to give a little bit of a color in terms of how the sector has performed, Europe and APMEA, Ravi, actually year-on-year, we have seen a growth. In fact, Europe BFSI growth was led by ramp-up of the large deal we had announced earlier. If I were to look at APMEA, we continue to see very good traction with both in terms of ramp-ups and also existing deals and the new deal wins that we have seen. I also want to call out that we see good momentum in the BFSI in Americas as well.

Srinivas Pallia

Net-net, yes, Sirum, I agree with your comment. Having said that, we are also seeing good traction for us as well, Ravi.

Ravi Menon

Thanks, Srini. Really appreciate that. We can look at this as maybe a one-off client incident, something like that. Is there any cutback or did you lose out on any vendor consolidation? Could you comment on what caused the decline this quarter?

Srinivas Pallia

There are two aspects, Ravi. One is clearly some of the largest that we have won have taken a lot more time for us to scale, ramp up. I think now the clients are moving. That's the reason why I said BFSI Americas, because we have won a couple of deals out there, large deals out there. Some of them are coming back. The second one is the nature of the demand. Discretionary spend has been slower, and some of the decision-making has been slower, but we think it will come back. One thing that we are seeing while from a customer perspective, in the BFSI sector, there are a couple of opportunities that we see, Ravi. One is on the cost optimization and vendor consolidation. That remains the key drivers for our clients, right?

Srinivas Pallia

This is very similar to the commentary that we gave in the last few quarters. However, Ravi, what we are now seeing is that these savings are getting reinvested by some of our clients into AI capabilities. That's where I think the new transformation projects and discretionary spend will come back. That's how we see it, Ravi.

Ravi Menon

Thank you, Ravi. One last question for me. On AI, your couple of peers have announced very different strategies. One setting up a very big, large data center. Somewhere else is looking at a small-capacity data center, which they think they will own the entire hardware stack. Anything that you're thinking along those lines?

Srinivas Pallia

Ravi, one is I think at a macro level, the way we see is that AI is a structural opportunity for us and for the industry in general, Ravi. Having said that, the success in AI to be honest, is not just driven by models, right? For us, having the client context, understanding the domain and the industry aspect of it, understanding the process, right? Priming the data for an AI implementation becomes very critical. Also clients are looking at security and change management, organizational change management in this context. That is where I would say that the direction that AI is moving on. For us, Ravi, very clearly, we have pivoted to AI. We are doing an AI-first approach and our consulting-led AI-powered strategy is all about that.

Srinivas Pallia

When you are doing a run aspect of it, which is application management, infrastructure or process, we are doing with AI-first approach, and we have clearly built a strong platform around WINGS, which we are gaining very good traction, which is our delivery platform. The second thing, Ravi, obviously you've been listening to a lot of commentary around that. The Software Development Life Cycles, there's a dramatic improvement in productivity. We have to have the context of if it's a pure-play greenfield project, which is like a tool like in, let's say, Python, the productivity is significantly higher. On the other end of the spectrum, it is a complex code. If you don't have the right target environment, which is a lot more legacy, deployment and production also becomes difficult. There, the productivity comes down significantly. That's how we see it.

Srinivas Pallia

For us, the biggest opportunity is all the new AI services that we are seeing in the market. We call that as Reimagine AI. I think it's very important also what we are trying to do. Maybe I'll double-click later, we have clearly created the AI-Native Unit which I talked about, where we are building the industry and cross-industry platforms. In fact, some of the margin dilution that the question that was asked, we are investing in this. I think it's very important for us to invest for the future. That's number one, AI-Native Unit. Second, we have the half a billion-dollar Wipro Ventures, and now we're very specifically, focusedly targeting those AI and data and security startups Which will also enhance our overall Wipro Intelligence platform. Three, we invested in our Wipro Innovation Network.

Srinivas Pallia

We actually launched 10 innovation networks for our clients, and that's actually picking up. The clients are co-innovating with us in those innovation networks. Finally, ecosystem partnering with the frontier AI companies. This is how we are driving AI across our industries and each industry are different in terms of adoption, but everyone wants to be in the AI journey, Ravi.

Ravi Menon

I have one more thing. When you said that there is not much productivity benefit in the old complex code. Can we say that all of the investor concern about significant erosion in the existing book of business, can we say that this is really unfounded?

Srinivas Pallia

The way I see it, Ravi, is that, I'm looking at for the industry and for Wipro, right? Like I said, what are the structural opportunities? Today, if you look at the traction that we have on the reimagine AI services, that's how I call the new AI services. One, AI advisory and change management. That's something that, for example, Capco is leading it. OpenAI gave us an award around that. Second is, data priming for AI, right? Enterprises are struggling with data, we have to be honest about that. Some enterprises have told us we've got too much data. We don't know whether we need all this data to get the AI right. Third is agent implementation and managing agents. Every organization is building tremendous number of agents. How do you deploy them? How do you orchestrate, deploy, and manage them?

Srinivas Pallia

Ravi, the tokenization, token economics, whatever you call it's actually skyrocketing right now. Especially the CFOs are saying, "Hey, what's my ROI? Do I use a high-end LLM for a particular process or a workflow? Do I use an open source model?" That's the conversation that's going on. We having the deep tech, we are able to actually have that conversation with the client. There are multiple new opportunities, whether it's MLOps, AIDC is something that's picking up within enterprises. You would have heard of Sovereign AI, that's another one picking up. Finally, every client want us to make their AI secure and responsible. To me, net-net is a positive in terms of new services that are coming in. Yes, short term SDLC life cycle will continue to bring in higher productivity and shorter development life cycle.

Srinivas Pallia

I just want to call out, it is going to be human plus AI always because in a software development life cycle, the business requirement, user stories, you need humans. At the same time, when you're deploying and productivity and taking into production, you need human intervention. Of course, AI can throw millions lines of code, but we need to make sure that code is optimized. That's how I see it, Ravi Menon.

Ravi Menon

Thank you.

Operator

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Nitin Padmanabhan from Investec. Please go ahead.

Nitin Padmanabhan

Hi, good evening. Thank you for the opportunity. First, wanted your thoughts on how should we see margins recovering to the band that we stated. Do you think it will be gradual through the year or do you think there's any element that can help a faster sort of recovery considering we don't have wage increases and that's done and behind. The second is, from an overall business perspective, when do you think the headwinds sort of recede where we can start showing some level of growth as a business? Do you think these headwinds are largely over in Q2 or do you see any specific things that could linger? Thank you.

Srinivas Pallia

Hi, Nitin. Srini here. On the margins aspect, Nitin, Aparna talked about it as well in our commentary. The reason why we had a drop of 120 basis points is number one, the impact of MSI we had, it's coming into this quarter. Second, the investments that we are making in AI and in deals. That's the second part. Third is some of the acquisitions that we made, they're actually coming into execution mode right now. That's the impact we had on the margin. Having said that, Nitin, our mission is clearly to go back to the narrow band that we've been talking about, 17%-17.5%. The question that you are asking is what is the time frame?

Srinivas Pallia

In the context of the volatility that we see, in the context of the revenue situation that we see, I do not want to predict exactly when we will get there, but the point is that we want to get there. If you have noticed in the last two years also, Nitin, despite the challenges with the revenue, we continue to stay focused on margin improvements. You can rest assured we will continue that path. I want to clearly articulate that we want to invest in our new AI-Native business. When you are doing an AI-Native business, you also need to have the right talent, and you need to have the right infrastructure to build the new products, new platforms and solutions as well. It's a combination of all this, Nitin.

Nitin Padmanabhan

Qualitatively, do you think it's fair to assume that it's gradual rather than quicker? Just a quantitative thought process is fine.

Srinivas Pallia

The endeavor is to reach where we want to reach. If you look at, Nitin, there are multiple levers for us from an operational perspective, whether it's how you can take the cost out in FP&A, both in terms of automation, AI, and productivity. We have other levers including G&A and so on, so forth. The bench utilization has been higher. That's another lever that we have. How do you restructure the pyramid, right? In the context of AI, and how much of the projects and programs you can run it through agents, and how many of our current existing programs we can identify. These are all the levers that we are looking at, Nitin, and we'll stay focused on that.

Srinivas Pallia

The message I wanted to give you is that despite all this, we will also want to continue to invest in our future, which is very, very critical because the world is pivoting to AI and we have already pivoted to AI. We will continue our journey around consulting led and AI forward, and we'll stay focused on that. Wipro Intelligence platform, both delivery platforms and the cross-industry platforms, we are seeing good traction, Nitin. In the future, the consumption will be platform plus service, not just pure play service.

Nitin Padmanabhan

Sure. From a growth perspective, when do you think the headwinds that you're seeing sort of recede?

Srinivas Pallia

Yeah. If you look at it from a growth perspective, Nitin, typically we give just a one-quarter view of our guidance, right? Like I said, the demand environment remains soft, and that has reflected in our quarter two guidance. Having said that, Nitin, I just want to call out the point that I made that we are seeing good traction building up in Americas in the BFSI segment, right? Which was the question that Ravi had asked. Second, EMR, which is Energy Manufacturing Resources sector, which was very soft in Europe and APMEA. We have won couple of deals in Europe in this segment. We will see that coming into delivery, right? To me, also the way the customer takes the cost out, then they start shifting their budgets to AI. We are ready for that. That's how I see it.

Srinivas Pallia

I can't give a commentary in terms of how our quarters will go because I want to stay within the quarter two guidance.

Nitin Padmanabhan

Sure. Fair enough. Thank you, Srini, and all the very best.

Operator

Thank you. Next question is from the line of Vibhor Singhal from Nomura Institutional Equities. Please go ahead.

Vibhor Singhal

Yeah. Hi. Thanks for taking my question. Srini, a couple of questions from my side. I think two verticals kind of dragged the growth this quarter, energy and healthcare. You mentioned about energy that the softness in the European markets, and we've won a couple of deals, so good to hear that we'll probably have recovery in that soon. What's your take on the healthcare segment, as this segment has been one of our key segments in which we were one of the early pioneers, and at this point in time-

Srinivas Pallia

Vibhor, sorry to interrupt you. We could not hear you properly. I'm sorry.

Vibhor Singhal

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Srinivas Pallia

Could you just repeat the question? Thank you.

Vibhor Singhal

Yeah, sure. Please.

Srinivas Pallia

Go ahead, Vibhor.

Vibhor Singhal

Yeah. I hope I'm audible now.

Srinivas Pallia

Yes.

Vibhor Singhal

Yeah. Sorry for that, Srini. My question was basically on the two verticals which dragged the growth this time. One was the E&U, which you mentioned that it was because and good to hear that there are deals that we have and will ramp up in the coming quarters. On the healthcare vertical, what is the view that we are looking at? We were one of the pioneers of this industry. From the peers, we hear a lot of companies are kind of incubating their healthcare vertical because of the strong demand that they are seeing, especially from the payers side and some of course in the provider side as well.

Vibhor Singhal

What is the outlook on that vertical in terms of deals that we might have won and when do you think that vertical kind of comes back to growth? I'll have a couple of follow-up if you can answer this, please.

Srinivas Pallia

Sure, Vibhor. I think your observation is very valid. For us, the healthcare sector has de-grown by 2.6% sequentially. If you look at from a year-on-year basis, 3%. What has happened is, especially when I say healthcare, we have multiple segments. We have got payers, we got providers, we got life sciences, and we have got medical devices companies. These are the four industry segments within the healthcare sector.

Vibhor Singhal

Right.

Srinivas Pallia

We have a huge presence in payers and providers in the U.S. The impact that we had is because of the U.S. healthcare ecosystem, right? Which is facing sustained pressure, both from structural and demographic forces due to the situation which is very much within the U.S. context, right?

Srinivas Pallia

What we have seen in some of these companies are because of the pressures that they have from the whole government and so on, so forth, right? Their budgets have been flattish for us, and some places we have seen the negative growth. There is a lot of pressure in terms of taking the cost out. Most of the budgets right now have kind of being reallocated to some kind of discretionary spend, but towards AI. A big portion of it is on the compliance, Vibhor. To me, the more they use AI and automation aggressively and offset the cost pressures, I think that would help us going forward. We are staying focused on the regulatory mandates like I talked about, both Medicare, Medicaid and ACA. If you recollect, we have a huge platform that supports these aspects.

Srinivas Pallia

The member onboarding in terms of member services that we need to do, how that has evolved for us in the last one to two quarters also had an impact on the numbers that you see. Having said that, if I look at the opportunities that we see, especially reimagining some of their processes with AI. Vibhor, claims is one important thing. Clients are looking at taking the cost out on contact centers. Also, now more and more with the HIPAA compliance and the regulatory compliance coming into picture, they are able to deploy AI more confidently into clinical operations, including regulatory processes. I see these as our new opportunities that are coming in. We are staying focused on that, Vibhor.

Vibhor Singhal

Got it. Any timeline that you would be able to provide that you think our healthcare vertical should see some recovery?

Srinivas Pallia

Vibhor, like I said, I don't want to forecast beyond quarter two. quarter two is, all this that I talked to you about is baked in. Having said that, AI, like I said, AI is a structural opportunity. I see this opportunity in every industry verticals within the healthcare system, Vibhor, including for providers, because they also want to improve their efficiency. Let's look at providers today. They depend a lot on these products like Epic, who are also making it more AI. They are actually integrating their provider systems into payer systems and the members and the patients, they can actually have an end-to-end view of how the Medicare medical systems work as well. These are the opportunities that are coming in. We are having the conversations around that as well, Vibhor, but I'm not giving you a specific timeline at this point in time.

Vibhor Singhal

Got it. This is helpful, Srini. Just my second question on the deal wins. The total deal wins and the large deal wins were down quite sharply on a year-over-year basis. I would assume it is just a timing kind of a thing because you mentioned the pipeline remains quite strong, so maybe some deals got pushed into Q2 or something like that. Is that correct, Srini?

Srinivas Pallia

Absolutely, Vibhor. If you look at our quarter one, we clearly had, like I said, $3.3 billion worth of bookings, out of which $1.6 billion were 13 large deals that contributed to that. Having said that, your point is valid. Some of the decisions on some of these deals have actually slipped to quarter two. I always tell my team, when it slips, you've got to really hold on. Don't let it slip and try and let's close it in M1, M2 rather than wait for the M3. That's the work that we are doing right now. Your point is valid. The observation is valid. The pipeline is healthy, and also there are deals around cost optimization and vendor consolidation.

Srinivas Pallia

I also want to call out, Vibhor, that I want to give a little bit of color in terms of the kind of pipeline we have. The pipeline, let me give you one color, Vibhor. One is sectors. Let me also give you the type of deals outside of these large and mega deals. I called out BFSI, if you remember. Americas and Europe, the pipeline is strong, Vibhor. If you look at from a consumer, we just won couple of deals in Americas. I wouldn't want to say that it is big piece, but it's definitely modest in Americas and Europe. In APMEA, consumer is weak. That's how I see it, Vibhor. Tech and comms, very strong in Americas. I think that's one place we are seeing double-digit growth that I talked about, and I think we continue to see strong momentum there.

Srinivas Pallia

EMR, which you also called out after I said it. Right now it's strong in Europe because we come on back of two wins, and also it's strong in Americas, including our LATAM. A little bit modest in APMEA, I think, based on what's going on. Healthcare, now I did talk about it. Overall it's strong. I want to be careful in terms of what we call out. That's the color from a sector perspective, Vibhor. If I look at from a opportunities perspective, there are new opportunities also coming in like I talked about. There are clients who are talking to us on Sovereign AI. There are clients who want to build AI DCs. Those opportunities are also coming in.

Srinivas Pallia

The size and scale depends upon how much, for example, if you look at AI DC, how much of design and architecture you do, how much of implementation and management that you do depends on which part of the project and program that we are involved, and the size and scale and complexity depends on that, Vibhor. Overall, your point, our pipeline is healthy.

Vibhor Singhal

Got it. Thanks for taking my question, Srini. Just one follow-up for Aparna, if I may. Aparna, I just wanted to get some color on how to look at the margins in the wake of the AI-driven deals that we are seeing at this point of time. I know it's difficult to make a one statement analysis that will give the margins, the deals will be margin accretive or dilutive. From an overall point of view, let's say we are also building SLMs for the client, or let's say the application layers for them, then there is the token cost involved. Overall, where does the math fit for these large AI-driven deals that we are chasing and we are winning in terms of margin vis-à-vis our current portfolio?

Aparna Iyer

Clearly, Vibhor, I think like you rightly said, one size doesn't fit all. It will depend deal to deal. Wherever the intention is to use AI for you to be able to drive higher productivity and take cost out for a large operation for a client where the cost takeout is priority, you will see that there will be a lot of forward productivity that gets baked into deals. Right? The reimagine AI that Srini spoke about, the parts which are newer, there you are going to be seeing newer spends on account of AI. There we are very confident we will drive a premium in rate realization. Similarly, service offerings around data, AI advisory, they'll all be very incrementally net positive to the rate realizations and margins. It will depend on what we are using the AI for and how we are structuring the deal.

Aparna Iyer

Large deals will remain competitive. You will have some amount of forward productivity that gets baked in. When you're looking at AI over smaller programs, where you're looking at things like data modernization, and you're looking at smaller pockets, and you're looking at newer areas, they will be accretive. That's been our experience thus far. Yes.

Vibhor Singhal

Got it. Great. Thanks, Aparna, for the clarification, thanks a lot, guys, for taking my questions. Wish you all the best.

Operator

Thank you. We'll take our next question from the line of Rajiv Berlia from JM Financial. Please go ahead.

Rajiv Berlia

Thank you for the opportunity. Can you break the 2Q revenue guidance into organic and incremental contribution from inorganic?

Aparna Iyer

We're not doing that, Rajiv. We're not breaking our guidance out. If you look at it, last quarter, we had said that Mindsprint was coming in, and we had in the guidance baked in 45 days. In our actual Q1 results, we've had two months of the revenues being consolidated. You can do the math, but like we typically do, we only disclose in the first quarter, and after that, we don't make further disclosure.

Rajiv Berlia

The second part of the question is, if you see in the last earning calls, you mentioned about client insourcing impact in BFSI. Is that fully behind in this quarter, or do we see some impact from a going-forward perspective as well?

Aparna Iyer

No, I think that is behind us, Rajiv.

Rajiv Berlia

Yeah. Thank you. That's all from my side.

Operator

Thank you. We'll take a last question from the line of Abhishek Bhandari from Nomura. Please go ahead.

Abhishek Bhandari

Thank you for the opportunity. Srini, all through the call, you guys have mentioned that the large deal environment remains very competitive. I was curious to understand, has the degree of competition increased, decreased, or is it stable? A related question is, how are you future-proofing your margins in the wake of such competitive pressures? We already saw some glimpse of margin headwind in Q1, which of course you will recoup through the year. If the market remains like this, how do you ensure that we don't trade off the margin for chasing growth?

Srinivas Pallia

Abhishek, coming to the first question on the competitive landscape. From a broader industry perspective, Abhishek, if I look at it, AI is reshaping most of the spend allocations. What that means is, from a client perspective, the traditional IT, the traditional BPO that we do and the support aspects of it, those budgets are getting compressed. The clients want us to deploy more AI. The clients want us to kind of disrupt that aspect of the whole process to bring in agentic aspect of it. That is a, I would say, lever for our clients to improve their budgets for new spend pools around AI. The clients are also driving that, which is not just competition, but also clients want to take the cost out on that.

Srinivas Pallia

We do have opportunities for us to go and talk to our clients in terms of, for example, how we can deploy WINGS and bring in end-to-end productivity benefits and make it more agentic. Of course, the clients are also looking at the experience aspect of it, velocity aspect of it, and so on and so forth. If that is the place where there is compression, there is definitely competition, Abhishek. The reason I'm saying is that sometimes we will have to look at client to client in terms of their ability and propensity to implement AI. We have seen certain clients who want to do it in a lot more faster way, and some of them are saying that we want to spread it out. In that context, the pricing aspects also changes.

Srinivas Pallia

We have to relook at how the solutioning happens because when you deploy AI quickly, the token cost also increases for our clients. They are looking at total cost of ownership. That is something that we've been carefully working on, Abhishek, and this is something that I think as an industry, as Wipro, we will all continue to evolve. Coming to the margin pressure. It's actually related to that, right? If you look at large traditional deals, cost optimization, vendor consolidation, there will be margin pressures because sometimes we want to invest into the deals for now to make it more long-term as well, Abhishek. If it is a net new reimagine AI kind of projects and programs, the margins are much better.

Srinivas Pallia

If it's a traditional work where you have to bring in the productivity through AI, at the same time help the clients to shift the budgets, there are competitive pressures.

Abhishek Bhandari

Got it. Thanks, Srini, and all the best for the year.

Srinivas Pallia

Thanks, Abhishek.

ServiceNow Soars 14% on Enterprise AI Rotation as Dell’s Blowout Earnings Lift Software Sector

24/7 Wall St.
ServiceNow (NOW) stock is rising 14% to $124 as capital rotates into beaten-down enterprise software following Dell Technologies (DELL) posting Q1 FY2027 revenue of $43.84B (up 88% YoY) with AI-optimized server revenue jumping 757% to $16.13B. Snowflake (SNOW) has reported Q1 revenue of $1.39B (up 34% YoY) and raised its full-year guidance, while Wipro (WIT) has expanded its AI partnership with ServiceNow (NOW) for agentic workflows. Dell’s blowout earnings validated the enterprise AI infrastructure thesis that ServiceNow is positioned to capture through its workflow and governance layer, triggering broad repricing across the software stack as the “SaaSpocalypse” narrative retreats.

Shares of ServiceNow (NYSE:NOW) are up 14% in Friday trading, changing hands at roughly $124 after closing Thursday at $108.73. The pop comes as capital rotates back into beaten-down enterprise software names following a blowout quarter from Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL). The move is striking given the setup. ServiceNow stock still sits 47% below its one-year high, so this is a bounce off of a deeply oversold tape.

The rotation started earlier in the week when Snowflake reported Q1 FY2027 revenue of $1.39 billion, up 34% YoY, and raised its full-year product revenue guide to $5,840 million. CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy called Q1 "a clear inflection point" in Snowflake's AI journey. That print reframed the "SaaSpocalypse" narrative that had crushed enterprise software multiples. Snowflake stock is up 4% Friday, extending a recovery week. ServiceNow also got a direct catalyst. Wipro and ServiceNow announced an expanded AI partnership this week to integrate Wipro Intelligence with the ServiceNow AI Platform for agentic workflows, a deal that sent Wipro ADRs up 18% on the news. Bank of America analyst Tal Liani published a bullish call positioning ServiceNow as an AI "growth engine," framing Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) as the structural risk in the workflow stack. CEO Bill McDermott has been pounding the same drum, asserting "no AI company in the enterprise better positioned for sustainable profitable revenue growth than ServiceNow" on the most recent call. Adding to the buzz, ServiceNow CMO Colin Fleming is leaving to join OpenAI as CMO of its business division. That is a talent-flow signal that underscores how tightly the enterprise AI orbit has consolidated. Reddit sentiment confirms the grassroots shift. The top r/stocks thread, "NOW might actually be a decent AI play," climbed to 111 upvotes and 67 comments by Tuesday afternoon as the rotation thesis spread. The near-term tell is whether ServiceNow stock holds these gains into the close and follows through on Monday. Traders can monitor the $120 level as a potential make-or-break point for NOW stock. For the time being, cautious investors should treat this as a catalyst-driven repricing rather than a confirmed breakout. The setup is improving, but ServiceNow stock has work to do before reclaiming its prior trend. Act now: the analyst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Dell Technologies didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.

About Key Metrics and Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release contains key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K. Such non-GAAP financial measures are measures of our historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that are adjusted to exclude or include amounts that are excluded or included, as the case may be, from the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. The table at the end provides IT Services Revenue on a constant currency basis, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated by translating IT Services Revenue from the current reporting period into U.S. dollars based on the currency conversion rate in effect for the prior reporting period. We refer to growth rates in constant currency so that business results may be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Further, in the normal course of business, we may divest a portion of our business which may not be strategic. We refer to the growth rates in both reported and constant currency adjusting for such divestments in order to represent the comparable growth rates. Our key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Our key metrics and non-GAAP financial measures are not comparable to, nor should be substituted for, an analysis of our revenue over time and involve estimates and judgments. In addition to our non-GAAP measures, the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure should be carefully evaluated.

Wipro's weak first-quarter forecast overshadows record buyback

Reuters

BENGALURU, April 16 (Reuters) - India's Wipro reported a ‌fourth-quarter revenue that missed ‌estimates on Thursday, as clients held back tech spending and as business from key customer Estee Lauder ‌slowed down. Consolidated ⁠sales for India's fourth-largest software firm in ⁠the three months ended March 31 rose 7.7% to 242.36 billion rupees ($2.60 billion), ‌missing analysts' average estimate of 243.63 billion rupees, according to data compiled by LSEG. Last week, the country's ‌top IT firm, Tata Consultancy Services, beat quarterly revenue ‌and profit estimates, while allaying concerns about AI tools disrupting its core business. ($1 = 93.2740 ‌Indian rupees) (Reporting by Sai Ishwarbharath B; Editing by Mrigank Dhaniwala)
