HYDERABAD (Reuters) – Indian software services exporter Tech Mahindra reported a smaller-than-expected fourth-quarter revenue on Thursday as weakness in communications and hi-tech verticals continued to drag the company’s revenues.
Consolidated revenue rose 4% to 133.84 billion rupees ($1.57 billion) year-on-year in the quarter ended March 31. Analysts, on average, expected revenue to come in at 134.52 billion rupees, as per data compiled by LSEG.
