Krithivasan says: “This quarter we started talking about both AI plus generative AI pipeline, it is about 900 million for us. The revenue numbers, once it becomes material, we would start declaring that number also. But that revenue would be not only directly what you do using generative AI. So much work needs to happen in terms of getting the data ready, in terms of cloud migration as is required. Generative AI is going to have a long tail of other kinds of related work that needs to happen.

But we do not know whether it will come in Q1 or Q2. I do not want to make that call. But overall, we believe FY25 would be a better year than FY24.
