The December quarter (Q3FY25) is seasonally weak for the Indian IT sector due to furloughs and fewer working days. Thus, no fireworks are anticipated. So, Q3 results would offer little help in gauging demand momentum.

However, sequential performance will be muted. "We expect aggregate revenue growth for our coverage to moderate slightly in Q3 to 0.7% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) constant currency (3.9% y-o-y constant currency), given the usual furloughs," said a 31 December Jefferies India report.
