Geography wise, North America (77.1 per cent of mix) reported muted growth of 1.5 per cent QoQ while Europe & India reported a growth of 12.2 per cent & 10.7 per cent respectively.

ICICI Securities said revenue growth for the quarter was lower compared to earlier organic growth rate but that could have been impacted by furloughs. Growth in Europe was surprisingly strong considering geopolitical issues there but which is in line with other IT companies, which have been reporting strong growth in the region. US growth could have been impacted by furloughs.
TCV for the quarter was strong especially new deals wins which continue to remain robust at 54 per cent of TCV, suggests that growth is likely to rebound over the next few quarters. On the margin front, it continues to improve on account of supply side easing as LTM attrition continues to moderate and will provide support to margins in the medium term, the brokerage firm said in a note.
