Increased U.S. Spending To Aid Indian IT Firms, Tech Mahindra CEO Says
The U.S. tax overhaul bill will provide leeway to the U.S. companies to increase their global spending, said Gurnani
The Indian information technology sector has turned the corner in the face of rapid technological advancements and a stronger U.S. economy. That’s the word coming in from CP Gurnani, chief executive officer of Tech Mahindra Ltd. which reported strong earnings in the September quarter after two quarters of muted growth.
According to Gurnani, the revival in Tech Mahindra’s business and in the IT sector in general has a lot to do with the state of the U.S. economy, that contributes nearly 50 percent to Tech Mahindra’s business. “With the U.S. macro indicators looking good now, the sector has moved past the apprehensions observed in the year beginning,” noted Gurnani.
Besides, the U.S. tax overhaul bill will provide leeway to the U.S. companies to increase their global spending, said Gurnani. This will serve as a key positive for the Indian IT sector as it is more digital and automated than its peers across globe, he added.
