Ankur Rudra's questions to Infosys Ltd (INFY) leadership • Q1 2026
Question
Ankur Rudra of JPMorgan Chase & Co. questioned the decision to lower the upper end of the revenue guidance despite a strong Q1, asking what factors were weakening the growth outlook. He also inquired about margin trade-offs related to AI and whether AI increases vendor replaceability in consolidation deals.
Answer
CFO Jayesh Sanghrajka explained the guidance reflects an unchanged, uncertain macro environment, not an improving one, which was the assumption for the previous higher end. CEO Salil Parekh added that AI productivity gains are typically shared with clients, creating opportunities for more work, and that Infosys's strong AI and delivery capabilities make it a net beneficiary in vendor consolidations.
