The company reported profit of Rs 41.3 crore and net sales of Rs 706.8 crore in the same period of the previous fiscal.

""Fiscal 2015-16 started off slow for HGS, but we finished the year with a robust performance... This growth was led by existing and new client wins and our acquisitions made in the fiscal. The turnaround in our Canada operations in the fourth quarter helped improve profitability," HGS CEO Partha DeSarkar said.
For 2015-16, the company's net profit stood at Rs 101 crore while revenue was at Rs 3,328.2 crore compared with the previous financial year.
