Infosys beat the expectations of analysts, who had expected a net profit of Rs 34.39 billion. Infosys also said that it expected its revenue to grow between 7.1 and 9.1% for the present financial year, reported Mint.

For the April-June quarter, the software services firm’s revenue abroad came in at $2.65 billion, growing 6% from 2016. Net profit stood at $541 million, compared to $511 million in the same period in 2016-17. It added eight clients in the $100 million-plus category during the quarter.
