According to Shah, the contract wins are back, and TCS and other major firms have made similar announcements in recent months. Growth in Total Contract Value (TCV) and revenue in Constant Currency (CC) are two important indicators for such businesses, he said. He noted that many mid-cap IT firms are trading at 52-week highs on the back of strong growth reports. It’s time, he argued, for large-cap IT firms to catch up to midcaps.

The lack of a recovery in rural sales has been a sore spot for FMCG companies, according to Shah. He also warned that the silence would last for some time and advised that we keep an eye on the recovery of the rural economy.

Because of their high valuations, Shah added, they have been keeping an eye on the newer companies. He continued, “So far, we have avoided them because of the valuations and the cash flow that these companies have been generating.” This isn’t to imply that these companies won’t succeed in the medium to long term, though.

The high interest rates, Shah claimed, would cause most individuals to move their money out of their current and savings accounts (CASA) and into term deposits at banks. He continued by saying that in a few quarters, the pre-provisioning operating profit (PPoP) will equal the substantial loan growth experienced by most banks.

He continued, “Not to say that the operating expenses are not going to be growing because everybody is in an expansion mode, but still the PPoP growth, probably one quarter down the line should be in lines with the loan growth, and the pressure should kind of settle down in a quarter or so.” Mid-sized banks’ asset sides have been repriced, according to Shah, who added that the NIM will return to normal in the coming quarter.

Milind Lakkad, chief human resources officer, said in a statement, “We have given a 12-15 percent raise for exceptional performers in the latest annual compensation review and also commenced the promotions cycle.”

In reality, pay increases reduced the company’s margins by 200 basis points. The company’s operating margin of 23.2 percent reflects the impact of the increase, which CFO Samir Seksaria stated was 200 basis points, in a statement released on April 1. Overall, TCS’s operating margin dropped by 120 basis points (bps), from 24.5 percent in the previous quarter to 23.2 percent this one.

According to TCS’s annual report, the median salary of its employees increased by 5.11 percent in FY23.

This raise comes at an unusual moment, as staff have not yet received word that Infosys will be delaying the raises it normally distributes to non-senior employees in the first quarter of the year.

In a statement, Lakkad explained that 53% of the company’s staff currently works from home three days a week, therefore the IT giant is concentrating on getting people back in the office.

“We are committed to attracting, retaining, and rewarding the most talented individuals in our field, and to maximizing their productivity by bringing them back to the office to further cultivate our culture,” he explained.

In addition, employees spent 12.7 million hours training in areas like generative AI, cloud computing, data analytics, and more.

Infosys continued to postpone the onboarding of both new and lateral hires throughout the quarter, resulting in a net gain of 523 people.

While we will stand by every promise we have made, this year will be all about capitalizing on the infrastructure we put in place last year, he said.
