Quarter read

What the record says.

Happiest Minds reported Q3 FY26 revenue of INR 588 Cr, up 10.7% YoY, with EBITDA margin of 20.4% (up 20 bps QoQ). Growth was driven by BFSI and healthcare, while GBS revenues surged ~50% QoQ as AI engagements moved from pilots to production. Management reiterated the 10%+ constant currency growth commitment and flagged a significant increase in guidance at Q4 results, underpinned by the new AI First strategy. The pipeline saw a big jump, with larger, longer-tenure deals. Key risks include potential client budget cuts due to macro uncertainty and the ongoing decline in the EdTech vertical, which management expects to stabilize in FY27.

Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.

Guidance to track

  • Management reaffirmed the commitment to deliver 10%+ revenue growth in constant currency for the current financial year.
  • EBITDA margin is expected to remain in the 20-22% range for the current financial year.
  • Management expects to announce a significant increase in the growth guidance (above the 10% committed) when Q4 results are released.
  • The company plans to scale its AI and Gen AI team to 1,000 employees by the end of FY2027.

Risks flagged

  • The EdTech vertical has been declining for several quarters due to challenges in the higher-ed tech space; stabilization is expected only in FY27.
  • While not explicitly raised, the broader IT services environment remains selective, and any macro slowdown could impact discretionary spending.
  • DSO rose to 92 days from 87, indicating slower collections; management aims to reduce it to 85 days.
  • A startup client in Hi-Tech completed product development, leading to a ramp-down; similar risks exist with other early-stage clients.

Key quotes

  • This development is an opportunity and not a threat for Happiest Minds, and we believe also for other IT services companies.
  • We are seeing more and more customers that are extremely clear about their entire roadmap and what kind of Agentic AI foundation and the platform they want to build.
  • I believe that in FY 2027, we should see a reversal of the downward trend that we saw in the EdTech space.
