Commenting on the results, Balaji Viswanathan, Managing Director & CEO, Expleo Solutions, said, “This quarter has been a challenging quarter across both Technology and Engineering business. While the deal pipeline and business outlook over the long term look quite positive, in the next couple of quarters we expect to face some headwinds as the timelines to close deals and the overall business sentiments are soft given the macro conditions in our larger markets.
The deal cycles are taking longer than usual, and the deal sizes are small adding to some short-term pressures on both margins and revenue growth. We had some cost increases as we integrate the operations, the scale should help us in optimizing our costs in the medium term.
We continue to invest in our people, skills, and partnerships in anticipation of robust growth in the medium to long term since the fundamentals on scale combined with talent and cost-effectiveness is quite strong. We continue to hire and train, however a little more cautiously in anticipation of the growth. Attrition situation continues to be better for the second quarter and is close to the pre-pandemic levels."
