Client Profile:
Risk & Concerns:
-
Client Concentration: Revenue contribution from top 5 and top 10 clients has reduced however the % share of revenue from Top Clients is still a concern
-
High R&D/S&M : R&D expenditure remains the key driver for margin expansion. As of now, rise in R&D and S&M spends remain a key risk to value and sustainable earnings is the necessary trigger.
