Infosys said that its total contract value of large deals for the quarter was at $2.3 billion, with net new of 56 per cent.


“We had a solid Q1 with a growth of 4.2% and large deals of $2.3 billion which helps us to set a strong foundation for future growth. Our generative AI capabilities are expanding well, with 80 active client projects. Topaz, our comprehensive AI offering, is resonating well with clients.
