The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 21 Jul 2020India’s largest technology firms have had a surprisingly good pandemic. Infosys posted a sequential growth in revenue in rupee terms, buoyed by new large deals, and outperformed its peers for the second successive quarter. TCS, HCL Technologies and Wipro saw a sequential decline due to pandemic-related disruption, but all four reported operating profits ahead of the street’s expectations. In an interview to this newspaper, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh expressed confidence in going digital and cloud computing.
