  • Human resource: 50-60% of the people who are leaving, have joined tata elxsi in the last six or 12 months and there are people who have joined virtually and has left virtually. Attrition increased sharply by 260bps QoQ to 20.8%. Attrition is higher at junior level while mid to senior levels are largely stable. Management hopes to manage the demand and supply mismatch in the next 2-3 quarters through increased hiring. For senior level, wage hikes would be rolled out in April, 2022 and impact of the same should neutralise by operational efficiencies and increase in volumes. On workforce front, net addition for the quarter stood at 343. Supply-side challenges persist and the company is aggressively investing in accelerated hiring of freshers and laterals. It hired ~1.1k freshers in FY22 and intends to add ~2.5-3k freshers of the total gross hiring of ~3-3.5k in FY23.
  • Tata Elxsi, has launched TEngage, the first-ever truly digital health platform designed for omnichannel care at the HIMSS Global Health Conference & Exhibition being held in Orlando, Florida from 14–18 March 2022. Tata Elxsi’ TEngage allows hospitals and healthcare providers to offer a unified patient experience across all channels and delivers healthcare anytime, anywhere.
  • Over a period of three years, the business mix (transportation, media and communication, healthcare vertical) would be about 40-40-20.  Healthcare and medical currently is the smallest one.
  • Company is winning increased number of transformation and platform led deals which is driving growth in media while healthcare is being driven by digital and connect health engagements. Within media, expansion into newer geographies like the Middle East, Africa, India and Latin America has aided growth tremendously.
  • Management stated that deal pipeline is robust and it is seeing a lot of traction in large deal discussions. Newer geographies, good deal wins, large multi-year deals and strong orderbook give confidence to management as the company enters FY23.
