While a few of our largest clients continue to face pressures, the strategy we have pursued to diversify our growth across clients, geographies, mobility segments and offerings is beginning to demonstrate its resilience. AI-led products and solutions have become a common thread across our portfolio, and we are seeing encouraging traction across AI defined mobility, vehicle engineering, digital cockpit, autonomous technologies and aftersales. We believe our focused investments, differentiated capabilities and trusted client relationships position us well to return to stronger growth in H2FY27 and beyond. We have successfully navigated similar industry cycles before and remain confident in our strategy, execution and long-term direction.” Sachin Tikekar, Co-founder & Joint MD, KPIT said: “Our priority is disciplined execution of the strategy across every growth lever. We are expanding our presence in high-growth client accounts, accelerating momentum in trucks and off-highway, building relationships with new passenger vehicle manufacturers, strengthening our leadership in AI-defined vehicles, and embedding AI-led products and solutions across our offerings and client engagements. At the same time, we continue to deepen our capabilities in vehicle engineering, propulsion, diagnostics, cybersecurity and aftersales software. The encouraging progress across these growth vectors, together with disciplined execution, gives us confidence that we are steadily building a broader, more resilient and more predictable growth engine, creating the foundations for sustainable, profitable growth.” Result PDF
