Industry overview:

Fy26 was a year in which the it services industry saw enterprises refining their technology priorities. Global economic conditions remained volatile, and while long term digital priorities stayed intact, enterprises were more focused in balancing cost discipline with transformation goals and realise measurable value from new investments.

Enterprise engagement with it service providers during the year reflected this change. Clients continued to rely on service partners to ensure operational continuity and the stability of core systems, while also seeking improvements in efficiency and resilience. Investments in cloud, cybersecurity, and ai enabled automation remained active, though buying decisions were increasingly anchored in productivity outcomes, commercial efficiency, and clarity of execution. As technology landscapes became more interconnected and complex, enterprises showed a stronger preference for integrated service models that offer end to end accountability across advisory, transformation, and operations.

The adoption of generative ai evolved through in fy26. Interest in the potential of genai remained strong; however, enterprises became more selective in identifying use cases, prioritising those with clearer links to operational efficiency, cost optimisation, and scalability. As organisations modernise legacy systems to improve ai readiness, new opportunities are expected to emerge, expanding the addressable market over time even as the near term focus remains centred on productivity gains. Alongside this shift, interest in agentic ai gained momentum, with enterprises beginning to explore agent based workflows for targeted efficiency improvements. During the year, the company continued to support human centred innovation to scale ai adoption for global enterprises. In addition, the company launched techm orion, a next generation agentic ai platform that enables organisations to deploy and manage agent based ai solutions across assisted and autonomous environments while maintaining control and transparency throughout the ai lifecycle. The company was also recognised by the government of india as a key participant in the indian ai mission, acknowledging its role in advancing national ai capabilities and promoting responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence.

Global capability centres (gccs) also continued to mature during the year. While expansion in scale persisted, a more notable development was the evolution of gcc mandates toward higher value and more integrated roles within global enterprise ecosystems. As gccs assumed greater responsibility across digital, engineering, and operational domains; it services companies remained closely involved as partners, supporting governance frameworks, digital platforms, and operating models that enable secure and scalable growth.

Overall industry sentiment during fy26 reflected cautious optimism. While enterprise intent to invest in technology remained evident, particularly in areas linked to ai led digital initiatives—spending

Decisions were more phased and prioritised. Enterprises directed their investments across foundational, digital, capabilities, cloud native modernisation, cybersecurity, and the continued transformation of business process services, aligning spend more closely with near term business objectives.

Against this backdrop, the operating environment in fy26 was characterised by moderation and selectivity. With macroeconomic uncertainty and spend optimisation priorities, industry outlooks continued to reflect a measured growth trajectory. Reflecting the prevailing macro-economic environment, and assuming a prolonged period of elevated tariffs, various industry advisors, bodies, and research firms continue to adopt a cautious outlook, with growth expectations for fy27 generauy placed in the 2-5% range. Even so, the structural drivers of demand—digital modernisation, cloud adoption, and ai enabled transformation—continue to underpin the medium to long term fundamentals of the it services industry.

Key erm during fy26

Risk and impact Mitigation strategy

Risk: risk of revenue growth stagnation due to reduced demand or due to loss of business to competition, plus risk of economic slowdown or recession in global economic growth.

The company is closely monitoring any effect this could have on revenues and is preparing to deploy suitable strategies to align variable costs to the revenue outlook. The company is also evaluating the possible opportunities that may arise from this economic and geopolitical situation.

Impact: reduction in customers spend triggered by their business conditions or by ongoing wars such as those in the middle east or share of wallet could adversely impact our revenue growth. Macroeconomic headwinds viz., gdp projections, persistent inflation, interest rate cycles, plus trade wars and instability in the financial systems causing uncertainty which in turn may cause customers to proceed with caution, adversely impact business sentiments.

The direct revenue contribution from the affected regions represents a low single-digit percentage of overall revenues, and accordingly, the company does not expect the impact to be material at this stage.
To offset the possibility of lower spend, newer offerings and tech solutions, along with clients- focused solutions to either optimize costs or promote customers digital initiatives are being pursued.

Risk: cyber security and privacy risks - risk of data theft, deviation to information security requirement and cyber attacks.

Data protection controls (encryption, data leakage prevention etc.) And cyber security tools (firewalls, antivirus, etc.) Are deployed to prevent cyber-attacks and data exfiltration.

Impact: unauthorized use or disclosure of employee or company or customer data may lead to either breach of customer contract or fines/penalties from regulators and/or damage companys reputation.

User awareness and supplier risk management is rigorously implemented to ensure effective deployment of data security controls.
Security controls are continuously monitored and rigorously assessed through annual privacy audit, it audits, external health check audits and customer audits.

Risk: impairment and m&a integration risk

A dedicated team monitors the busi ness performance of the acquired companies and corrective actions are initiated as required. Synergy benefits of large customer network, competencies, or cost optimization possibilities of techm are leveraged upon, to the extent possible.

Impact: possibility of declining business performance of acquired companies, due to weak economic environment or other strategic or operational factors, leading to impairment.

A comprehensive integration plan is executed across all acquired portfolio companies, covering front-office, middle-office and back-office functions including the system. This plan is centrally managed by the dedicated integration team to ensure alignment and timely resolution of integration challenges.
Inability, delay, or failure to integrate with the acquired portfolio companies to achieve the desired strategic synergies may result in either financial losses, damage to reputation, decreased productivity, loss of employee morale or legal matters. The m&a team updates the leadership and the investment committee on the aspects of performance, impairment, consolidation, and integration, etc.
While we actively aim to reduce the number of subsidiaries and branch offices, for the unmerged entities, we focus extensively on back-office integration to drive synergies and economies of scale.

Risk: human capital risks - high attrition levels, involuntary churn, and employee productivity due to work from home (wfh).

The company has continued to effectively manage attrition.
The leadership transition has been smoothly executed with open communication with all stakeholders for effective change management.

Impact: high attrition levels adversely impact resource deployment on new and existing projects.

The company has introduced compulsory partial work from office.
Leadership change and/or organizational change could result in some employee churn.
Work from home carries the risk of loss of productivity and associated cyber security and data protection risks.

Risk: statutory compliance risk - tracking changing compliance requirements across geographies.

Applicable statutory compliances are tracked through our global compliance management system (gcms) with a bottoms-up process and dashboarding prior to compliance certification.

Impact: tracking the changing compliance requirements in multiple countries and adhering to the same for multiple entities is a challenge, and noncompliances could hurt our reputation as well as result in penal action by the concerned authorities.

A refresh of the laws and compliances in the tool has taken place and shall also continue to repeatedly be done to ensure that all requirements in the tool are updated and relevant.

Risk: technology risk - risk of deficiencies in emerging competencies.

Investment in the right technological competencies is key to maintaining our competitive edge. Our strategy of scale at speed drives us towards embracing newer technologies that have the potential for being adopted by enterprise at scale. Investment in new-age technological skills, including carefully curated training programs for upskilling the existing workforce, continue to be implemented. Key areas like artificial intelligence and virtual reality are well entrenched in our competencies. We have launched innoquest, an employee led innovation initiative, which includes conducting innovation workshops, hackathons, idea generation drives and sharing of triumph stories.

Impact: inability to timely adopt and invest in emerging competencies may result in a competitive disadvantage. Further, developing or acquiring new technologies or capabilities and organization-wide adoption has significant cost implications.

A robust physical and digital infrastructure is maintained to adhere to the highest quality standards.

Risk: delivery capability / capacity risk

Impact: the risk of not being able to deliver on time, or within budget or not meeting customer specifications is an inherent project-level risk in our industry. Inability to surmount these challenges could lead to penalties and/or loss of business and loss of reputation.

From a program governance perspective, a dedicated program office monitors and reports on various parameters of each engagement. Large engagements undergo additional review by delivery heads. Additional steering committee reviews are undertaken by leadership regularly for critical engagements.

Risk: legal and contractual risks

Contract-level risks are managed by our inhouse legal and contract management team who thoroughly review each contract to ensure appropriate contractual liabilities are assumed and necessary approvals are obtained as per the defined authority matrix. A contract management system is in place that digitizes the contract lifecycle and effectively manage the authoring, obligation management and risk management aspects of contracting. Additional oversight at the executive and board level is exercised through discussion on high-risk contracts at the risk management committee meeting.

Impact: legal, litigation and contractual risk arising out of contract execution and matters arising out of ipr, tax, regulations, employment contracts, adverse rulings, mergers, etc.

The legal and contract management team provides necessary support on matters relating to compliance, local in-country laws, taxation, etc. And seeks external counsel wherever required. We also have a robust mechanism for appropriately dealing with litigations.
