"...we have delivered a flat quarter-on-quarter performance in rupee terms despite the continued macro challenges in our core market of the UK and overall, our ability to maintain our quality of earnings gives me confidence that as we return to grow in Q4, we will be able to continue to expand our margins," Mastek CEO John Owen said.
Demand from the UK government continues to remain strong and the UK market reported a modest growth of 1.4 per cent for the company, he added. SR BAL
