The India-based company said IT services revenue grew 21% to $508m, with core software services revenue increasing 21% to $423m, and infrastructure services revenue increasing 19% to $85.4m. BPO services revenue rose 1% to $56.4m.
Geographically, the US accounted for 61% of total revenue, Europe 27.6%, and Asia Pacific 11.4%. During the quarter, the company signed 68 new clients and expanded its North American operations with a new office in Toronto, Canada.
Vineet Nayar, chief executive at HCL Technologies, said: HCL’s response to the challenging environment has been focused on growth and investing in emerging trends and solutions that create value for customers. The company won $1.5 billion worth of large deals in the last nine months. HCL’s Employee First philosophy continues to be a key differentiator for us. The Hewitt employee study adjudging HCL as the No. 1 Employer in India and the Best Employer in Asia is a recognition of this fact.”
