II. Management Statement

Arun Jain, Chairman and Managing Director, Intellect Design Arena Limited said, “Our focus on high quality opportunities is yielding results. We have a funnel of around USD 500 million, which we feel is the right size to provide focus for closure. In this quarter iGCB is also gaining traction on revenues in line with iGTB. We are also seeing very high acceptance of Xponent in the US market but these being cloud deals, the revenues are tail ended. Based on current pipeline and visibility, we are on track to achieving around 20% YoY growth.” 

Venkateswarlu Saranu, Chief Financial Officer, Intellect Design Arena Limited said, “We are in line with our cost management and operating cash flow plans. With the maturity of products, we have started the process of de-layering and off-shoring design talent from US and Canada to India. With this initiative we have been able to contain costs better in the quarter.”
