"The Global IT industry is undergoing a seismic change as the scope of IT buying expands to capture adjacencies beyond IT. This is not only changing the contours of the traditional buyer as we know it but also bringing technology to the very centre stage of organisational competitiveness," HCL Technologies Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer Shiv Nadar said.

In such a scenario, a balanced portfolio, integrated IT services and engineering capabilities have ensured that HCL remains service provider of choice for companies looking for business model transformation, he added.

In dollar terms, the company's net profit rose by 27.3 percent to $307.2 million (roughly Rs. 1,898 crores) in the reported quarter, while revenues grew 12.8 percent to $1.43 billion (roughly Rs. 8,837 crores).
