1. Question: "Thanks for taking my question. Congrats on the good deal wins that we reported, and the question that I had is whether we should think of this level of deal wins as sustainable going forward. And given the pipeline that you had right now and if you could also highlight what would be the average tenure of these deals versus, let's say, what we would have won last quarter?"
Answer: The company expects Q4 deal wins to remain robust, with a pipeline stronger than previous quarters. Average deal tenure is ~3 years, driven by AI/GenAI solutions and proprietary frameworks.
2. Question: "Understood. My second question is on the Automotive vertical. The outlook that we have provided for Q4 and beyond. So just wanted to understand what's driving that confidence given that a lot of peers have seen ramp-ups being delayed by clients on the deals which have been won very recently as well."
Answer: Mobility (including Aero, Rail, and Trucks) offsets Automotive weakness. Investments in SDV (LTTSiDRIVE) and consolidation deals support growth. Q4 will see muted growth, improving from Q1 FY26.
3. Question: "Understood. Last is just a clarification. The benefit that we were supposed to have on the Maharashtra Cyber deal in terms of the milestone revenue booking, has that completely happened in this quarter or there is some bit of remaining in next quarter as well?"
Answer: Maha Cyber revenue is ongoing, with Q4 contributions expected as part of regular execution.
4. Question: "If I look at your segmental margins for the segment this quarter there was a substantial improvement in the Tech margins. Could you explain why this Tech margin has jumped up almost 300 bps on a sequential basis?"
Answer: Tech margin improvement (300 bps) stemmed from operational efficiencies, higher-margin subsegments like Medical, and reduced H1 FY25 investments.
5. Question: "While you're reconfirming 10% including Intelliswift and organic is around 8%. The Q4 numbers, if my math is correct is upwards of 6% growth. So, is that confidence coming on back of residual revenue from cyber projects of Maharashtra and pipeline ramp-up?"
Answer: Growth confidence for Q4 is driven by deal wins, seasonality in Smart World, and Intelliswift's consolidation. All segments are expected to contribute.
6. Question: "Any color on client conversations around incremental spends in R&D given macroeconomic and geopolitical factors?"
Answer: Demand is strong in AI, SDV, Industrial Automation, and supply chain rejigging. Geopolitical risks are mitigated via local hiring and delivery models. FY26 is expected to outperform FY25.
7. Question: "How did margins improve despite wage hikes and ROW/India growth? What's the outlook?"
Answer: Margin improvement (110 bps) resulted from operational efficiency, revenue quality, and SG&A optimization. FY25 organic EBIT target remains ~16%, with Intelliswift consolidation lowering Q4 margins to ~15%.
8. Question: "What's driving the Automotive recovery timeline, and how does Mobility's subsegment exposure break down?"
Answer: Automotive recovery is expected by Q2 FY26. Mobility growth in Q4 will rely on Aero, Rail, and Trucks. Subsegment breakdowns are not disclosed, but diversification reduces reliance on Automotive.
9. Question: "How will you achieve 16% organic EBIT in Q4 amid wage hikes and SWC seasonality?"
Answer: Growth, pyramid optimization, offshoring, and operational efficiency will offset headwinds. Intelliswift's margin drag (150 bps) is factored into consolidated Q4 EBIT guidance of ~15%.
10. Question: "Why was organic growth revised to ~8% (lower end of guidance)?"
Answer: Automotive slowdown and delayed deals impacted growth, but the company remains within the 8"“10% range. Intelliswift unlocks service-led ER&D markets (Fintech, Retail, Healthcare) for future growth.
11. Question: "How will SG&A and headcount trend amid strong deals?"
Answer: SG&A will stabilize at 10.5"“11%. Headcount growth remains non-linear due to automation/AI. FY26 fresher hiring (2,000+) will optimize pyramids and margins.
12. Question: "What's the outlook for Oil & Gas and SDV delays?"
Answer: Oil & Gas growth is driven by plant modernization and digital initiatives. SDV spends continue, but model-year shifts and regulatory changes delay some projects, with recovery expected in 2"“3 quarters.
