ICICI Securities Report

In a seasonally soft quarter, we expect Indian IT to deliver strong sequential revenue growth led by:

  1. fewer-than-usual furloughs and
  2. residual recovery from Covid-19 decline over H1 CY20.

Further, product-related seasonality/large deal ramp-ups too should help in some cases.

Excluding Tata Consultancy Services Ltd./HCL Technologies Ltd. (partly), wage hikes are still due hinting at stability/upward bias in margins.

Q4 FY21/FY22 revenue outlook should be upped (versus September 2020) given the recent trend of captive takeovers/large deal wins.
