There is expectation of a modest cut in the US interest rate from mid-2024, but the Federal Reserve has indicated that it is expected to remain in the mid-4% level till the end of 2024. Increased government spend and domestic demand is expected to help growth in India and China. For China, housing market corrections and geo-economic risk weigh heavily in the mid-term. Despite the macroeconomic challenges through the year, the technology/IT Services industry stayed resilient as large-scale cost optimization and automation deals helped maintain demand for enterprise software and IT services. In the midst of significant business caution towards investments and delayed decision-making, India’s technology industry revenue (including hardware) is still expected to hit USD 254 Billion (3.8% YoY growth) in FY24, representing an addition of over USD 9 Billion over last year. Exports are poised to touch the USD 200 Billion mark, growing at 3.3% YoY, while the domestic technology sector is expected to cross USD 54 Billion, growing at 5.9% YoY.

CEO of LTIMindtree, said the company is using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency and deliver better results for its clients. While the top client currently benefits the most, LTIMindtree aims to extend these productivity gains across its client base, with a broader impact expected in January-March 2025 (Q4FY25. There are quite a few deals that they have won. Last quarter, we announced a $200 million plus deal, and this quarter again; we won a $50 million plus deal. All these deals are vendor consolidations where our AI strategy plays a very big role in terms of the productivity that we can offer to the client over a longer period. The full quarter impact of this will be there in January-March 2025 (Q4FY25) but having said that, it is not a reflection of any softness in business, per se, because it is a reflection of the way we do our business, we expect that as we give the productivity back to the client, they will be also giving us more work based on how we are doing things in other parts of their business. However, they believe LTIMindtree is well-positioned to grow double digits in FY2026 and beyond, with steady market share gains. The brokerage expects a sustained revenue growth momentum in Q4FY25, supported by a ramp-up of recently signed deals, AI project deployments, and a revival of discretionary spending in tech. The deal pipeline remains strong, driven by cost optimisation and vendor consolidation deals, providing medium-term visibility.
