The country's largest software services exporter, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on Thursday reported a 37.4 per cent rise in its fiscal first-quarter profit, helped by a weaker rupee and increase in demand for outsourcing. According to analysts the results are in line with estimates and not disappointing like Infosys Technologies.
TCS posted net profit of Rs 3280 crore ($589 million) for the quarter ended in June, compared with Rs 2380 crore a year earlier. Revenue rose 37.7 per cent from a year earlier to Rs 1,4869 crore.
