Even as multinational tech companies around the world suffered sharp declines in revenue and profits, Tata Consultancy Services owned by Tata Group managed to grow against global headwinds and macroeconomic challenges. Amidst the highly volatile global economy and macroeconomic crisis, customers of TCS continued to take services from the company.
A closer look at revenue in constant currency terms will help understand what led to a drastic increase in the profits of TCS. The company witnessed revenue growth of 15.4 percent in North America & UK. On a sequential basis, TCS’ profit jumped by 3.99 percent, from Rs 10,465 crore in the quarter ended September.

According to Chief Executive Officer of TCS, Rajesh Gopinathan, the third quarter is usually a weak quarter for the company every year. He said the company was happy to post strong growth in the third quarter. Rajesh Gopinathan said that cloud services, market share gains through vendor consolidation, and continued momentum in North America and the UK helped TCS achieve high growth momentum.
He also added that long-term growth outlook of Tata Consultancy Services looks robust even as macroeconomic uncertainties continue to rock the IT sector.
