Introduction to Accenture’s Q4 Results
Accenture, a global leader in IT services, recently announced its Q4 results, which have significant implications for Indian IT companies. In this article, we will delve into the details of Accenture’s Q4 results and analyze its impact on the Indian IT sector.
Key Takeaways from Accenture’s Q4 Results
Accenture’s Q4 results were largely in line with expectations, with the company reporting a revenue growth of 10% year-over-year. However, the revenue growth was largely driven by the company’s digital and cloud services, while the traditional IT services segment witnessed a decline.
Impact on Indian IT Companies
According to Motilal Oswal’s report, Indian IT services’ revenue and commentary might mirror the stasis seen in Accenture, and expect Q2 FY26 to largely be muted (adjusting for some seasonal gains). Indian IT currently faces multiple headwinds, including a muted demand environment, deflation from GenAI (or otherwise)-led productivity gain, and potential limitations to onsite scope expansion in FY27E revenue from an unpredictable H1B program.
Challenges Facing Indian IT Companies
Indian IT companies are facing several challenges, including a muted demand environment, which is expected to continue in the near term. The deflation from GenAI (or otherwise)-led productivity gain is also expected to impact the revenue growth of Indian IT companies. Furthermore, the unpredictable H1B program is likely to limit the onsite scope expansion in FY27E revenue, which could have a negative impact on the growth prospects of Indian IT companies.
Seasonal Gains in Q2 FY26
Despite the challenges, Indian IT companies are expected to witness some seasonal gains in Q2 FY26. The seasonal gains are expected to be driven by the increase in demand for IT services during the quarter. However, the gains are likely to be muted due to the headwinds facing the industry.
Outlook for Indian IT Companies

The challenges facing the industry, including a muted demand environment and deflation from GenAI (or otherwise)-led productivity gain, are likely to continue in the near term.
