With total revenue at Rs 5,321 crore in FQ12, the company showed steady growth of 5% over FQ11 considering the overall telecom software market only grew 7% last fiscal. The consistent growth can be attributed to the multiple deals it bagged during the last fiscal, not only on home grounds but also globally.

A leading European telco chose Tech Mahindra for managing the operation and delivery of Vendor Access Services (VAS). The Mahindra Group owned company also signed a deal with a leading global telco for transformation of its sales operations system.

This was not all, the company won another multi-year deal with a European telco for managing its unified ticketing system implementation. As a part of this deal, Tech M will be implementing BMC ITSM suite in two of the client’s European locations. With this win, the Pune headquartered firm made a promising entry into the client’s ‘preferred suppliers list for OSS domain’.
