Overall revenues for Q2 stood at Rs. 12,906 million, an increase of 11.4% YoY. From a margin perspective, Q2 EBITDA margins improved to 13.3% as per expectations.    Led by growth from existing clients and increased operational efficiencies, all our major geographies have shown strong revenue growth and improved profitability.
