Mr. Manoj Raghavan, CEO and Managing Director, Tata Elxsi, commenting on the company's performance in the third quarter of FY24, said:

"We are happy to report a healthy performance in the third quarter with a top-line growth of 3.7% QoQ and 11.8% YoY in a challenging and weak quarter for the industry.

Our Healthcare & Lifesciences business executed strongly to report a growth of 4.6% QoQ and 13% YoY. This was backed by large deals in regulatory and new product engineering services.

Our Transportation business witnessed steady growth of 2.7% QoQ in a short quarter. While we had some delays in planned ramp-ups and deal closures due to the short quarter and holidays, we are positioned well to capture growth opportunities in the continued transformation of the automotive industry and Software Defined Vehicles.

Our Media & Communication business has done well in a deteriorated business environment for the media, telecom and technology industry, growing 0.6% QoQ and 3.4% YoY. We are staying close to our customers and building on both growth and efficiency offerings for customers in this industry.

Our Design-Digital strategy is continuing to drive differentiation and growth, with our Design business growing strongly at 12.3%. Our design teams have executed some landmark projects that spans user research, design and implementation to lead the way for our customers to transform consumer experience across industries. This also paves the path for capturing downstream value of technology implementation, as well as managed services for our systems integration business.

I am delighted with the recognition of our Design Digital capabilities with the German Design Award 2024 for excellence in design with the Gen 3 HMI. This award for the next generation automotive HMI design that we won along with Tata Motors, truly showcases the power of design when aligned seamlessly with technology to elevate driving experience for future cars and electric mobility.

While we have continued to invest strongly in talent addition with over 350 Elxsians in this quarter and a net of 1,357 Elxsians over the past nine months, we have done well to maintain our EBITDA well over the 29% band. This underlines our strong focus on delivery and operational excellence, and our confidence in the future and long-term demand for our differentiated offerings. Our employee engagement and talent retention strategies have contributed to attrition further improving to 12.9%.

As we step into the last quarter of this financial year, the confidence of our customers in our differentiated Design Digital proposition and delivery excellence, and a strong deal pipeline provides us the foundation for sustained growth."
