The company defended the layoffs, stating its annual performance reviews are standard to assess workforce capabilities, enabling upskilling and maintaining high service standards. Despite this, LTTS plans to hire in areas like plant engineering, digital & software engineering, AI, and software-defined vehicles, intending to add over 2,500 engineers.

Recently, L&T Technology Services adjusted its revenue growth projection downwards for the ongoing fiscal year. While reporting a 5% rise in net profit to ₹315.4 crore in the September quarter, the company attributed slower revenue growth to an acquisition integration, indicating potential 16% growth without it.

CEO Amit Chadha clarified that they've revised the revenue growth forecast to 17.5-18.5% for FY24 on a constant currency basis, citing current economic uncertainties as a prudent measure.
