Dollar revenue of its services vertical, which accounts for 78% of its overall operating revenue, dropped 1.7% sequentially, which Warren Harris, managing director and chief executive, said was due to seasonality of a traditionally weak quarter, as well as the completion of a large deal.

Tata Technologies, an engineering and design services firm, did not make any net additions to its large clients, with deal value of over $5 million during the period. However, it added 172 employees to its net headcount, even as attrition dropped by 1.8 percentage points to 15.4%.
