  • TMT vertical growth trajectory in coming quarters

The full read

Fractal delivered a strong Q1: revenue hit ₹912.5 crore, up 20% YoY, and net profit surged 92%. But the TMT vertical is a drag, down 22%, though management expects a sequential recovery. The bigger surprise: CFO Ashwath Bhat is leaving after five and a half years; a successor search is underway. On the bright side, a healthcare AI pilot with Mumbai's municipal corporation opens a new door. The transcript is routine, but the news inside it is real: strong growth, a leadership change, and a new government pilot.
