The company's consolidated revenue jumped 17% year-on-year to a record ₹35,244 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. This growth was supercharged by the integration of 15 recent global acquisitions, which are now contributing to the top line. Operating performance was equally robust, with earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rising 30% YoY to ₹3,412 crore.
