On quarter-on-quarter basis, net profit was up 2.9 per cent, while revenue grew 1.5 per cent in the said quarter.
“The resilience of our business model and strength of our operating strategy has been brought to the fore by our performance in Q3, traditionally a quarter of weak demand,” TCS MD and Chief Executive N Chandrasekaran said.

To support and sustain the company’s digital business that is growing at 30 per cent on an annual basis, TCS continues to build new capabilities in digital technologies, empower employees to enhance agility in the workplace and invest more to develop IP-based platforms and products, he added.
