✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Happiest Minds delivered a strong Q1 FY24 with total income of INR 405 crore, up 4.7% QoQ and 22.6% YoY. EBITDA at INR 103 crore (25.5% margin) marked the 13th consecutive quarter above the 20-24% guidance band, driven by robust execution and cost discipline. PAT was INR 58 crore, up 3.5% YoY. Growth was led by engineering services, analytics, Americas, India, BFSI, and EdTech. The company crossed 5,000 employees and added 18 new logos. Management reiterated the $1 billion revenue target by FY31 and maintained 25% growth guidance, though M&A delays may trigger a revision. A GenAI division with 100+ specialists is being set up. Risk: wage hikes effective July could temporarily compress margins.
