directAny change in outlook or green shoots emerging?
Sandeep, in BFS, we see green shoots, but we're trying to balance them against the geopolitical uncertainty that prevails. Insurance within the P&C space, we do see productization...

See, unlike a lot of our peers, our deal wins have converted into revenues. So we're not one, I think it would be very unfair to start characterizing our performance, where we've grown 16.2% of the first at the end of the first half...

partialWhat levers will drive margin improvement in H2?
So, let Ajay take the second question. As far as the first question is concerned, Sandeep, we're not planning to do anything this year, which is very different from what we've done in the last years. Second half, there is a significant growth. Q3 to Q2 sequentially, we will see a very significant growth.

directHow should we think about offshore revenue mix going forward?
Going forward, we expect the climb to be far more gradual, but we still believe, given what's happened over the last 4 quarters, the number will continue to climb, but it will climb a little far more slowly than it has over the last 8-12 quarters.

Travel transport, we are seeing pockets of spend coming up. They are centered around security. Spend is centered around digitization, they're centered around prioritization, and they're also centered around spend being directed towards customer experience-based projects.

directWhy did BFS grow strongly when others struggled?
That's right, Ravi, as we said, there are green shoots, even though the macros are stressed. Digital transformation spend has not necessarily gone away to play around product innovation, to play around legacy modernization.

directHow will hedge loss reversal drive 200 bps margin expansion?
So hedge losses in the current quarter were flat as compared to the previous quarter. Next quarter, going forward, these hedge losses will convert to hedge gains. So we will, assuming the currency remain at the current levels, we at least assume there'll be a 50 basis points flip on the margins, just because of hedge losses being converted to hedge gains.

partialProgress on ARC reduction and offshore mix target?
As far as ARC is concerned, we are not happy with the progress that we made on the ARC. Second half is when we expect to be very aggressive around ARC drops. ... So long story short, we are not happy with the cost curve that has happened so far.

directWhat levers drive 100 bps margin expansion in Q3 despite furloughs?
One, driven, as you rightly said, because of the hedge gains, the reversal on the hedge, fund that we talked about. Second, driven by what we just talked about, the ARC initiative that Ajay and I were talking about. We expect that going forward to be also a significant lever.
