RISK OF ECONOMIC AMBIGUITY 

Indian IT companies are currently facing a decline, twice as severe as benchmark indices, echoing the tech meltdown in the US, besides the aftermath of Covid-19. The main driver is the fear of US recession, a crucial market for the Indian tech firms. Infosys’ performance in Q4-2022 reflects the wider impact of the US banking crisis, affecting various sectors beyond BFSI. The company acknowledged the challenges and considers new strategies to increase market share amidst issues such as sluggish growth, supply chain disruptions, soaring prices, rising interest rates, and recession concerns.
