Commenting on the quarter gone by, Sanjay Jalona, CEO and MD, L&T Infotech, said while the deal pipeline is strong, customer discretionary spends are coming down on the back of COVID-19.
While the company does not have presence in travel and hospitality and negligible presence in retail, the impact will be felt in its energy and utilities vertical, which accounts for about 11 percent of overall revenue.
LTI is also expecting pressure in banking and insurance in coming months. Insurance saw a 1.3 percent decline sequentially for Q4. BFSI accounts for about more than 40 percent of overall revenue.
As companies adopt to new normal, there will be more demand for cloud-based services as people move from on premise. This could be one of the areas of growth for the company.
The company has deferred wage hikes for FY20. No pay cuts have been announced. LTI employs 31,437 people.
