INDIAN tech giant Infosys forecast muted annual revenue growth last Thursday (17) in an outlook that suggests clients might curtail tech spending because of growing global uncertainty.

The IT service firm said its revenue would either stay flat or grow by up to three per cent in the fiscal year through March 2026 on a constant currency basis. The sales forecast was lower than the 4.2 per cent constantcurrency revenue growth Infosys recorded in the previous financial year.


As India’s second-largest software services exporter, Infosys earns more than 80 per cent of its revenue from Western markets. Like many of its rivals, it had anticipated a revival in demand in 2025 after a growth slowdown for most of 2024. However, lingering weakness in client spending and US president Donald Trump’s trade policies have clouded the IT sector’s growth outlook.

Chief executive Salil Parekh said the environment was “uncertain” and Infosys would execute its plans with “agility”, while keeping a “close watch on changes”.

Infosys also reported its March quarter results last Thursday, posting an 11.75 per cent yearon-year drop in net profit to `70.3 billion ($823.5 million/£615.7m).

The company’s revenue for the three months ended March 31 rose 7.9 per cent to `409.25bn.

Highlights

  • Manavatty now available in over 250 off-licence shops across the UK and expanding to 20 countries.
  • Brand won bronze at London Spirits Competition 2025 and Spirit Bronze 2025 at International Wine and Spirit Competition.
  • Scottish National Party auctioned signed Manavatty bottles at Edinburgh for party fundraising.
When Scotland's first minister John Swinney signed a bottle of Manavatty at the Scottish National Party convention in Edinburgh on (November 15), it marked an extraordinary milestone for an entrepreneur who had resurrected a spirit banned in his native Indian state.
With Scotland's SNP elections approaching in 2026, the party selected Manavatty for their traditional fundraising auction, a recognition that few immigrant-founded brands achieve.

"It's a tradition for the SNP political party to keep a product at an auction and take the funds for party welfare," explains John Xavier, the man behind this unlikely success story.
