The company’s chief executive and managing director Amit Chadha said that the slower revenue growth is due to integration with an acquired entity, and added that the growth would have been 16 per cent if not for the integration.

However, he said the company is revising the revenue growth guidance down to 17.5-18.5 per cent on a constant currency basis for FY24 as a prudential measure given the current economic uncertainties.
