In a stock exchange filing on October 17, the IT company attributed its performance to widespread growth across all verticals and regions, as well as robust deal momentum.
The shares of LTIMindtree closed 0.55% up at ₹6394.45 apiece.
The consolidated revenue from operations jumped nearly 6% YoY to ₹9,432.9 from ₹8,905.4 crore in Q2FY24. Sequentially, the growth in revenue was 3.2%, rising from ₹9,142.6 crore in Q1FY25.
“Q2 was a good quarter marked by broad-based sequential growth experienced across all our verticals and goes, helping us register a dollar growth of 2.8%. We had several multi-year deal closures, including a ₹200 million+ deal. Continued deal momentum in key verticals and significant Q2 hiring, including freshers, positions us well as we enter into the latter half of the fiscal year," said Debashis Chatterjee, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.
The company’s deal wins include an expanded partnership with a leading US-based global manufacturer, which selected LTIMindtree as its preferred provider for Global Application Management and Transformation services.

Moreover, the company has been chosen by a global financial institution to improve its regulatory compliance by accelerating the migration of legacy applications, utilising cloud platforms, and integrating Generative AI capabilities.
“As GenAI becomes pivotal in customer interactions, there is a noticeable trend of modernisation efforts focusing on transforming the data estate. Our robust Data practice, combined with our innovative LTIMindtree AI platform, establishes us as a significant disruptor,” stated Chatterjee.
The company’s board of directors approved the closure of two wholly-owned subsidiaries, LTIMindtree Spain S.L. and LTIMindtree LLC, as part of its rationalisation programme.
An interim dividend of ₹20 per equity with a par value of Re 1 each was also approved by the board.
