We launched four transformational initiatives this year which included the acquisitions of Puresoftware and Aureus. The success of the same is evident from our YoY growth. The other three initiatives will accelerate our organic growth in the year ahead. These initiatives are the creation of the GenAI Business Unit, Verticalization into six Industry groups and induction of our Chief Growth Officer.
At our Generative AI Business Services (GBS), we are collaborating with our clients to explore opportunities for leveraging generative AI to enhance business value, efficiency, and productivity. Our goal is to integrate generative AI features into their products, services and provide them with a competitive advantage.
The adoption of this promising technology has picked up speed with our customers embarking into enterprise-wide adoption. Apart from projects already delivered, we have about 15 projects in a proof-of-concept stage which will lead to significant orders/projects in the next fiscal. All our transformational initiatives will also ensure superior performance ahead."
