HCLTech has demonstrated a robust commitment to generative artificial intelligence, securing 12 exclusive deals involving the cutting-edge technology in the past quarter. While specific industry verticals for these deals were not disclosed, CEO C Vijaykumar affirmed that generative AI is now an integral component of nearly all new engagements, underscoring its pervasive impact across the company’s operations and client solutions.
This strategic focus on AI comes amidst HCLTech’s Q4 FY25 financial performance, where the company reported a revenue of ₹30,246 crore, marking a 1.2% increase from the previous quarter. In USD terms, revenue stood at $3.4 billion, a slight decrease of 1.0% quarter-on-quarter.
