Brexit, currency volatility, visa cost and wage hikes are among the key factors likely to impact results for of the Indian IT services sector in the first quarter ended June 30, 2016. The April-June quarter is traditionally a strong quarter for the topline growth of companies.

Estimates for Q1FY17 numbers of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India’s largest IT services provider that begins the results season by announcing them on July 14, is better placed than last year.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) is partnering with the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland to deploy iON cloud solutions to create an online community of doctors.

Doing business in overseas markets is fraught with risks; more so when companies enter new markets through leveraged buyouts. But in some cases, the risk taken turns out to be well worth it.

Consider the Tata group. On the face of it, its bravado looks misplaced, as some of its big global bets are backfiring. Its investment in Corus Group Plc.—the largest ever acquisition by the group—is practically a write-off. Now, Brexit threatens to spoil things for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and the European operations of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS).

The $150-billion Indian IT industry may have to experience short-term pains like delays in getting new contracts or dealing with a fluctuating currency but in the long term it stands to benefit from UK’s decision to exit from European Union.

Amid demands from shareholders for bonus shares from Tata Group’s crown jewel, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Chairman Cyrus Mistry on Friday saw one investor asking for ‘sikkas’ — a play on rival Infosys’ chief Vishal Sikka.

Mistry, who brushed aside concerns that a “lot of volatility” prevailing in world markets could impact TCS, replied with a smile to each suggestion from shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting, but gave only the customary answer — the board will consider.

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has become the third conglomerate to invest large cash holdings in government bonds, a trend that could boost the young debt market but also stir volatility.
