IT services provider Infosys reported better-than-expected profit and revenue in the fiscal second quarter, on broad-based growth across geographies and segments.
The Bengaluru-based company also revised its revenue guidance to 16.5-17.5% for FY22 from 14-16% as stated during Q1.
“The main reason we see tremendous market share gain is because we are continuously making sure to enhance our capability. We are reskilling our people and changing our delivery focus, and clients see that these changes are relevant,” Parekh said.

“Our operating margins for Q2 were resilient; the impact of enhanced employee value proposition initiatives was offset by strong operating parameters, cost optimisation and operating leverage,” said Nilanjan Roy, chief financial officer, Infosys.

Parekh said 96% of the returns from previous years have “already been processed and over 1 crore current year returns have been processed which was part of the benefit of this system.”
