HCL Infosystems India’s Premier Services, ICT System Integration, Hardware and Distribution Company today announced its financial results for the third quarter ending March 31st 2013.
Mr. Harsh Chitale, Chief Executive Officer, HCL Infosystems Limited, commenting on the results said, “The decline in our revenues this quarter was primarily due to a dip in our telecom distribution business as also a stagnant Personal Computer Industry which impacted our revenues in this segment. However all our growth businesses registered healthy growth in the quarter. Enterprise Services grew by 11%, Non-Telecom Distribution grew by 34%, Mobility numbers rose by 50% and Learning by 33% q-o-q.
In today’s challenging environment, an organization has to be agile and implement changes in strategy at a rapid pace in order to remain competitive. We at HCL Infosystems are creating such an agile and lean organization which can respond quickly and effectively to changing market conditions and chart a rapid growth path. The restructuring of our businesses that we had announced in the beginning of this calendar year is on track. I am happy to note that we have been able to create a leaner organisation as there is a significant improvement in terms of efficiency and cost optimization to the tune of around Rs. 40 crores on an annualized basis.”
