"The ongoing outbreak of Covid-19 is impacting the economy with IT companies also expected to feel the heat. We expect constant currency revenues to grow 0.5% sequentially (assuming 1% hit due to impact from Covid-19) mainly on the back of lockdown (in India and many countries globally) and slower client decision making led by lower discretionary spends. However, the full impact would be visible in Q1FY21E," said the brokerage.
