Revenue Growth and Margin Details
The company's revenue from operations grew 5.2% year-on-year to Rs 65,890 crore, driven by strong demand in banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) verticals. Operating margin stood at 24.8%, slightly lower than 25.1% in the previous quarter due to wage hikes and higher subcontracting costs. Sequentially, net profit rose 2.3% from Rs 13,050 crore in Q4 FY2026.

Growth was led by the BFSI sector, which accounts for nearly 30% of revenue, expanding 7.1% year-on-year. The North America market contributed 51% of total revenue, while Europe grew 4.5%. TCS added 12,500 employees during the quarter, taking its total workforce to 6,85,000. Attrition rate remained stable at 12.3%.
