Revenue guidance

Category 3
  • FY'27 organic growth guidance is in low double-digits, slightly lower than FY'26's ~15% growth.
  • Growth includes approximately 7-8% base rate from existing contracts and seasonal revenues.
  • Additional growth anticipated from new pipeline deals valued around ₹570-575 million (TCV).
  • AI-related revenue compression expected to increase slightly from historical 1-1.5% to about 2% in FY'27.
  • Volume growth is subject to variability due to seasonal factors, geographic shifts, and client membership changes.
  • Provider segment revenues have grown over FY'25 and FY'26, with ongoing opportunities for expansion through AI efficiencies.
  • Broader market engagement includes transformational deals with longer timelines but higher potential for cost takeout and scope expansion.
  • Overall, despite AI-driven efficiencies compressing revenues, market share gains and tech investments support continued double-digit growth.

Margin guidance

Category 3
  • FY '27 organic growth guidance is in the low double-digit range, reflecting continued strong but moderated growth compared to FY '26's ~15% organic growth.
  • AI-related revenue compression is expected to increase slightly to ~2% in FY '27, up from historical 1%-1.5%, but growth remains robust due to new client wins and market share gains.
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin for FY '27 is guided at 24%-25%, with potential to reach the upper end if favorable forex rates persist.
  • Adjusted EPS continues to grow faster than revenues, supported by strong operating execution and disciplined cost management.
  • Cash conversion is expected to sustain healthy levels, enabling ongoing investments in AI capabilities and inorganic opportunities.
  • The company remains confident about sustaining growth and margin performance despite cost and competitive pressures, updating guidance quarterly as visibility improves.
