India's largest software services firm TCS Thursday reported 9.9
percent rise in consolidated net profit to Rs 6,317 crore for the first
quarter ended 30 June, 2016-17, helped by more outsourcing contract wins
from overseas clients.

Analysts on average had expected a net profit of Rs 6,088 crore, according to data compiled by Thomson Reuters.

"Our investments in platforms are gaining significant traction as customers look to boost business agility and enhance their time-to-market to gain a competitive edge," he said.
TCS has now trained over 1.65 lakh employees in new digital technologies that are rooted in specific domains. Digital services accounted for 15.9 percent of the revenue in said quarter, he added.
