What happened
Happiest Minds Technologies upgraded its FY27 revenue growth expectation to 12.5% from 10%, citing accelerating momentum from its 'AI First' strategy and strong demand. This revision follows the February 2026 'AI First' initiative launch, reorienting its operating model and client engagement around AI. The company's Generative AI Business Services (GBS), established March 2025, also matured, contributing to the updated outlook. CEO Joseph Anantharaju noted strong AI adoption driving growth across financial services, healthcare, hi-tech, and manufacturing.
Why it matters
