"Our focus on technology and offshore, along with real estate rationalization and cost containment measures, helped us post improved margins and modest revenue growth in the second quarter.

"Our Canadian and offshore and nearshore businesses performed very well, led by increased client demand for our services. We are now looking to expand into newer geographies such as EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) to support this requirement," HGS Group CEO and Whole-time Director Partha DeSarkar said in a statement.

He said that the company expects some topline challenges in the second half due to delayed decision-making across clients from different verticals and the ending of short-term projects.

"However, we believe our investments in technology and sales will help us navigate these challenges and deliver better results in the future," Sarkar said.PTI PRS
