Happiest Minds reported Q3 FY24 revenue of INR 410 crore, up 11.7% YoY, with EBITDA margin of 24.2%, beating guidance for the 15th consecutive quarter. Growth was led by PDES, while IMSS saw ramp-downs. The company added 10 new logos and 2 billion-dollar clients. Management highlighted a strong pipeline but noted elongated deal cycles and softness in discretionary spend. GenAI business unit is off to a strong start with multiple POCs, but revenue contribution is still early. Guidance for FY24 constant currency growth of 12% implies a steep QoQ ramp in Q4. Key risks include continued softness in the top account and EdTech vertical, and slower conversion of GenAI opportunities. The company is investing in verticalized industry groups and a dedicated GenAI sales team to drive future growth.
हैप्पिएस्ट माइंड्स ने तीसरी तिमाही में 410 करोड़ रुपये का कमाया, जो पिछले साल से 11.7% ज़्यादा है। कंपनी का मुनाफा (EBITDA) 24.2% रहा, और उसने लगातार 15वीं तिमाही अपने अनुमान से बेहतर प्रदर्शन किया। सबसे ज़्यादा ग्रोह PDES से हुई, जबकि IMSS में कमी आई। कंपनी ने 10 नए ग्राहक और 2 बड़े अरबपति ग्राहक जोड़े। प्रबंधन ने कहा कि आगे काम मिलने की उम्मीद है, लेकिन डील में देरी हो रही है और कंपनियां खर्च कम कर रही हैं। GenAI का काम शुरू हुआ है, लेकिन अभी कमाई में बड़ा योगदान नहीं है। अगली तिमाही में 12% ग्रोथ का लक्ष्य है, लेकिन बड़े ग्राहक और EdTech क्षेत्र में कमजोरी जोखिम है। कंपनी नए क्षेत्रों और GenAI टीम में निवेश कर रही है।
