BENGALURU: Wiproโs revenue declined by 2.3% in constant currency during the June quarter, though the drop remained within its projected guidance range of โ3.5% to โ1.5%.โWe started the quarter facing significant macro uncertainty, which kept overall demand muted. Our clients prioritised initiatives with immediate impact, focusing on cost optimisation and vendor consolidation. At the same time, they accelerated their AI, data, and modernisation programs. We saw a clear trend of many AI projects moving to scale and production,โ said Wipro CEO Srini Pallia.Operating margins fell to 17.3% in the June quarter from 17.5% in the March quarter of last fiscal, though this marked an 80-basis-point improvement year-on-year. โIn Q1 we delivered 17.3%, which is a 20-basis-point movement. If you look at forex, itโs really flattish. Our utilisation has been flattish. Weโve had some savings in selling, general and administrative expenses, and we had the revenue decline being offset through operational improvements. Thatโs broadly how I would characterise the margins for the quarter,โ said CFO Aparna Iyer.
