Tech Mahindra recorded a 38 per cent fall in June quarter net profit at ₹692.5 crore due to a sharp contraction of the profit margins.
The Mahindra group company had reported a net profit of ₹1,131.6 crore in the corresponding April-June period last year.
The company's revenues slid to ₹13,159 crore in the reporting quarter from ₹13,718 crore in the preceding March quarter, and was only 3.5 per cent up when compared to the year-ago period.
The company's outgoing Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director C P Gurnani during the earnings call had termed the quarter as one of the toughest he has seen in the last five years, and pointed to reverses in its mainstay of Communications, Media and Entertainment (CME) impacting the overall numbers.
He, however, pegged hope on generative AI, quantum computing and cybersecurity, which will drive growth for the company with 5G connected solutions and networks and experience management to be a key differentiating factor for the company.
"Generative AI, quantum has emerged as the next big thing in the industry, disrupting the way we work, communicate and create content. This swift transition has also triggered substantial shifts in the skills demand, pushing companies to re-skill and upskill employees through various learning tools and platforms," Soin said.
