The margins of the company in the quarter were affected due to an additional provision for doubtful

On declaring the results, Mr. Manu Parpia, Managing Director & CEO said, “We have seen a healthy topline growth this year, in fact higher than our guidance. This year we came under the full tax regime,
despite which, we have improved our EPS for the year. We have seen volume growth from emerging
verticals, and I see this area as a significant opportunity we can tap into over the coming years. We also
continue to see healthy demand for our offerings”.
