Since you have tracked IT for so long, tell me what is happening with IT? I mean, what is the real picture right now?

So what is happening in IT is clearly your discretionary spends have slowed down considerably. But at the same time, your large $2 billion cost of deals are happening.
So somewhere, these deals are coming through. See, the corporates are saying, look there is an opportunity for us to look and revisit our processes.
And that is where these large deals are happening. So these large deals take their own sweet time to ramp up.
