While the tariff related uncertainty has witnessed a partial easing, e.g., deal between U.K and U.S in May-25, but noting end of tariff pause in July and elevated geo-political tensions, particularly in the Middle east, macro environment remains an overhang on client spend sentiments and is expected to remain constrained. For Q1 FY26, we expect a mixed performance, with Tier-1s reporting negative to low single digit growth in CC terms, while Tier-2 names to see negative to high single digit growth in CC terms. Q1 FY26 is an exceptional quarter to witness strong cross-currency tailwinds, with gains ranging from 60 bps to 340 bps, notably higher gains for names with significant presence in UK/Europe.
