Earlier, while presenting June quarter results in July, TCS had expected revenue growth to normalize by December quarter and margin improvement by March quarter. The company has surprised everyone by acquiring both earlier than expected.

The company made a total of $ 8.6 billion in new deals, compared to $ 6.9 billion in the June quarter and $ 6.4 billion a year earlier.
TCS also did a good job on the human resource front. Its attrition rate was 8.9 percent in the September quarter, compared to 11.1 percent a quarter ago. The company added 9,864 employees on a net basis. The company is also increasing the salary of employees from 1 October, which is a sign of returning to normalcy.
