The new organization structure implemented in the last quarter is settling in well and we see increased growth traction with opportunities in key industries. We continue to strengthen our relationship with our existing clients.
We expect the recovery in the business through Q4 FY21 with services business growing sequentially driven by growth across all segments except Aerospace & Defense which is expected to remain flat. Our outlook for FY21 remains unchanged wherein we expect a double-digit de-growth in revenue."
