HCLTech, based in Noida, has reported a 4.20% increase in consolidated net profit to Rs 4,488 crore for the January-March quarter of FY26, despite challenges such as market volatility and softened spending. The company has issued a growth guidance of 1-4% for FY27.

CEO C Vijayakumar highlighted that AI-led services are making significant strides, with advanced AI revenues surpassing USD 620 million in Q4. This progress is crucial as traditional sectors face a deflationary impact from AI efficiencies.

However, the company faced hurdles in the software segment, resulting in a 14.1% YoY revenue drop. While the Indian and American markets showed growth, Europe saw a contraction. Despite challenges, HCLTech's total contract value for new deals reached USD 9,323 million for the year.
