Rishi Basu
A very good evening, everyone and thank you for joining Infosys' first quarter financial results. My
name is Rishi. And on behalf of Infosys, I would like to welcome all of you today. I would first like to
invite our Chairman, Mr. Nandan Nilekani and our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Salil Parekh for an
important announcement which will then be followed by our business updates. Kindly note, Nandan
will not be taking any questions. Sirs, over to you.
Nandan Nilekani
Thank you, Rishi and it is great to be here with all of you. I thought I would take this opportunity to
make an important announcement. As you know, Salil has been CEO of Infosys for almost 10 years.
He came, I do not know how many of you were here 10 years back, but he came at a time when
things were slightly unstable. And he brought in calmness, focus, took the company from $10 bn to
$20 bn, completely did the transformation for the digital era and started the AI differentiation and
implementation. Salil’s term comes to an end on March 31, 2027.
Infosys has been looking at his succession. And today, I am delighted to tell you that the Board has
appointed his successor, our new CEO, who will take over on April 1, 2027. He is from Infosys. He
has been somebody who is a true-blue Infoscion. He has worked in Infosys for 31 years. He has
worked in every part of Infosys, be it in delivery, be it in sales, be it in account management, starting
a new DC in Bhubaneswar, everything. And he is someone who I think everybody likes, respects, is
an uncomplicated guy who focuses on what needs to be done. His name is Ashiss Dash. So Ashiss
is based out of L.A. He has been there for some time. He will move back to India and in the next 2-
3 months, he will do some CEO coaching and then from October 1, Salil will take him on as his
mentee and prepare him for the role, so that he can take on this role of managing a complex $20 bn
company in a very transformational time.
So, I just wanted to let you know that Ashiss will be the new CEO and I would now like to request
Salil to say a few words about Ashiss.
Salil Parekh
Thanks, Nandan. So first welcome, everyone. This is an incredible time for us, as Nandan shared, I
have known Dash for a very long time working closely with him, a huge congratulations to him and
in making sure everything he does works well into the future. He has had an amazing portfolio, the
way he has built it, the way he has crafted it in terms of the clients he has worked with, in terms of
the people he has worked with.

And there is a tremendous set of opportunities from that on to the overall company, the learnings
from that as we apply to the overall company. Ashiss Dash, also a very collaborative individual
working well with all of the various components within Infosys and having been here for a long time,
has made sure he has learned everything and also understood how all different parts of the company
work. So huge, huge congratulations to him and looking forward to working with him as we do the
transition over the next few months.
Rishi Basu
I now invite Jayesh to join Salil on stage to commence the quarter updates. As always, for this
section, I will request one question from each media house. But with that, let me invite Salil for his
remarks. Over to you, Salil.
Salil Parekh
Thanks, Rishi, and thanks Nandan. So good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for being here.
Our revenue growth for Q1 was at 2.4% Y-on-Y and 1% Q-on-Q in constant currency terms. We had
a one-time revenue impact of a client decision during the quarter. Our AI services revenue was 8.2%
of overall revenue in Q1. Our large deals, $3.6 bn at 61% net new, operating margin at 21.1%, free
cash flow at $955 mn. Earnings per share were up 15% Y-on-Y in rupee terms.
We saw a strong acceleration in our AI work, as I shared earlier, with AI revenues at 8.2%. This is
growing at double-digit Q-on-Q for the last several quarters. With this momentum, we see long-term
relevance of our services for our clients, which are all driven through AI. From our delivery team,
over 80,000 employees are working on coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex or several others
for our clients, for our work inside. We see strong traction across the six areas of new growth that
we see in AI, our Hexagon for AI strategy.
We see client work, for example in building agents for processes, work on data, modernization and
using coding tools. We are building a team of frontier engineers to support our client work. Our plan
is to have 6,000 Frontier Engineers over the next few years. We have built a platform, Topaz Fabric
that enables our clients to get the benefits of AI while keeping the sovereignty of their own data within
their company.
Our clients are able to work with any foundation model, closed, open-weight or on the cloud on their
own servers. Our clients are able to optimize token cost, which has become very critical now to make
sure its appropriate for the type of work they are doing and not out of hand.

Overall, we continue to see the macro environment remaining uncertain. With our Q1 results and a
view for the rest of the financial year, we are changing our revenue growth guidance to 1.5% to 3%
Y-on-Y growth in constant currency terms. Our operating margin guidance remains the same at 20%
to 22% operating margin.
Thank you. And with that, let's open it up for questions.
Rishi Basu
Thank you, Salil. We will now open the floor for questions. The first question is from Ritu Singh from
CNBC TV18.
Ritu Singh
Thank you very much. I know you have asked for one question. But if I may, Salil, you have given
us a big news in this quarter. To begin with, since you speak about how you brought in and Mr.
Nilekani spoke about how you brought in calmness at a time when the company was going through
quite a bit.
Even now you are speaking of this global uncertainty because of which you have had to, again, pull
down your guidance as well. Why decide to leave at a time like now, instead of perhaps looking at
an extension? I wanted to understand. And with the new CEO coming in, any mandate for the new
CEO that you could highlight for us more clearly? And perhaps that is something the investors would
also want to know?
And then o
