Hinduja Global Solutions Limited (HGS) has released the transcript of its Q1 FY27 Earnings Conference Call, which was held on August 10, 2026. The call featured key speakers including Global CEO Mr. Venkatesh Korla, Whole Time Director Mr. Vynsley Fernandes, and Global CFO Mr. Mahesh Kumar Nutalapati.

Revenue from operations for Q1 FY27 stood at ₹1,050.4 crores, with total income at ₹1,201.2 crores. Total EBITDA was ₹116.3 crores, reflecting EBITDA margins of 9.7%. This margin was impacted by the planned run-off of contracts and the profile of new business, which involves more technology content, offshore delivery, and outcome-based commercials.

Profit before tax before exceptional items was negative ₹52.8 crores, and total PAT was negative ₹66.3 crores.
