LTTS to see reduced hiring as automation rises; Q3 revenue up 3 per cent QoQ

L&T Technology Services (LTTS) anticipates a decline in net hiring numbers in the coming years, driven by increasing automation and productivity improvements, Amit Chadha, CEO & MD told FE.

“If we look at it year-on-year, our headcount has been flat, but we have grown 9% in rupee terms. Going forward next year, you can expect growth to be there, but the number of people we hire will be lower on a net basis because we are being able to leverage automation,” Chadha said.

He was speaking after the company declared its December quarter earnings. In the October-December quarter, the company’s headcount fell 233 sequentially to 23,465. And the attrition rose marginally by 10 bps to 14.4%.

LTTS reported a rise in both revenue and profit aided by strong performance in its technology and sustainability verticals.

Consolidated revenue increased by 3.1% quarter-over-quarter to Rs 2,653 crore. Meanwhile, the net profit rose nearly 10% sequentially to Rs 322.4 crore.

Further, the operating margin rose 80 bps quarter-on-quarter to 15.9%. This was achieved despite a 100-basis-point impact from employee increments, Chadha said.

The highlight of the quarter was the significant number of large deals closed, making it the company’s “highest ever large deal bookings”. “This is the highest amount of net new TCV deals we have closed so far in large deals,” he added.
