2-Min Summary
Zensar reported Q4 FY26 revenue of $158.4M (1% YoY, -1.3% QoQ) and full-year PAT of $87.2M (+13.6% YoY). The quarter was impacted by a large deal closing in February, delaying revenue recognition, and continued pressure in TMT vertical. Order book hit an all-time high of $401.8M (+122.9% QoQ), driven by a mega deal win. Management guided for a growth quarter in Q1 FY27, but flagged margin pressure in H1 due to transition costs. AI adoption is a key differentiator, with 85% of workforce AI-certified. Risk: TMT client insourcing and cost cuts could further erode revenue.

medium · data_observationNotable Quotes
We are seeing tier ones competing for deals which a few months back they wouldn't even look at.
Our FI27 performance will be contingent on our performance on our large deal. I won't even call it a large deal, it's a mega deal.
We are not seeing yet that we were doing a project for $100 and now because of AI we have to do the same project at $70.
