One solution that we have strongly recommended is shared services, where clients can get full services support in a cost-effective manner. It's a vibrant market out there and we are upbeat about IMS, AMS, T&M and Business transformation deals. We are now focusing on clinching more deals and new customer acquisitions," concluded Kumar.
