India's Coforge to top $2 billion revenue target, CEO says
By Haripriya Suresh
BENGALURU (Reuters) -Indian mid-tier IT services firm Coforge is betting that a healthy order book will help it top the $2 billion revenue target for the financial year 2027, chief executive Sudhir Singh said.
The company snagged a 13-year contract valued at $1.56 billion from U.S.-based travel technology provider Sabre Corp in the previous quarter. That came at a time when larger rivals struggled to secure mega deals as macroeconomic uncertainties and tariff risks weighed on the Indian IT sector.
Coforge's revenues for the last fiscal year stood at $1.45 billion.
"If all we've done in FY27 is $2 billion, then I'll be really disappointed," CEO Singh said in an interview on Tuesday.
"Our next 12-month signed order book is 47.7% higher than where it was at the same time last year. Even if half the world breaks apart, we can still grow very strongly," he said.
Despite the high level of uncertainty, Singh is hopeful that tech spending cannot go down in areas where it is "structural in nature".
Singh said Coforge's demand outlook in the current fiscal year is strong, as all its verticals and geographies are growing. The company gets nearly 30% of its revenue from banking and financial services, 19% from insurance and 18% from travel, transportation and hospitality.
The IT firm's revenue grew about 33.8% in the fiscal year ending March, and it is relying on steady organic growth this year.
"I don't see organic growth slowing in any shape or manner in FY26," Singh said. Coforge had an estimated organic growth of 16.4% last fiscal year, according to Kotak Institutional Equities.
Larger peer Infosys expects a revenue growth of zero to 3% this fiscal year while HCLTech foresees a 2% to 5% rise.
Singh is bullish on operating margins going up "materially" as Coforge focuses on larger deals.
"We will take whatever comes our way, but we have a strong preference for larger deals because they help with visibility, they help with resilience of revenue, and they also help longer term in margin expansion."

Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons have a serious pinching problem
TL;DR Nintendo Switch 2 users are reporting pinched fingers from Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons. The magnets are strong enough to cause minor injuries, especially in children. Nintendo was aware of this and included a warning in the Joy-Con 2 instruction manual. Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Cons might not have Hall Effect sticks, but the magnetic attachments are generally considered a highlight of the new design. However, users are reporting that the magnets are so strong that they're pinching fingers, causing minor injuries. Most of the reports are coming from Japan (via Automaton), but several users on Reddit have suffered the same fate. Essentially, holding the Joy-Cons with your finger overlapping the edge risks getting pinched between the Joy-Con and the console. The same is true when attaching the Joy Cons to the controller accessory, which also features magnets. The Switch 2 Joy-Cons magnets are very strong and designed to be difficult to remove. Unlike the original Joy-Cons, they have no mechanical component and are held onto the console exclusively by magnets. A small lever on the back separates the Joy-Con for removal, but if your grip wraps around the Joy-Cons and onto the console itself, it's very easy to pinch your fingers. Watch the video above and feel the pain second-hand. Nintendo is apparently aware of the issue and included a short warning in the Joy-Con instructions. It reads, 'Keep the area between the Joy-Con 2 and the console clear, careful not to get your fingers or other body parts pinched.' Nintendo is aware of Joy-Con pinching, and includes a warning in the instructions. It appears that this is simply an unintended side effect of the new Joy-Con design, so the only remedy is to take extra care when attaching Joy-Con 2 controllers. Those who have children should be extra careful. Have you had your fingers pinched in your Nintendo Switch 2? Drop a comment below to share your experience. Got a tip? Talk to us!

The Nintendo Switch 2 Should Get Its Most Important App Soon
Switch 2 The Nintendo Switch 2 is out and has sold millions of copies already. Its game roster is mostly reprised hits, with only a few truly new entries (Mario Kart World), but owners also want the handheld to be able to do more than just play games. As it stands, there is no YouTube app on the Nintendo Switch 2, mirroring the issue that the Switch 1 had for a long while. The original Switch was launched on March 3, 2017 and it did not get the much-requested YouTube app until November 8, 2018, over a year later. Nintendo and Google are apparently both trying to avoid that kind of lengthy wait this time around. The YouTube team app responded to a fan asking about the issue, and got a response: I'm not sure a list of other devices that play YouTube is helpful here. The timeline here is 'soon,' which I take to mean less than a year like we saw with the Switch 1. I am amazed that Nintendo has been making this console for probably half a decade and once again it launched without key dedicated video apps, YouTube included. I'm not clear on how they can get CDPR to tireless work on making Cyberpunk 2077 work well on the Switch but they can't figure out how to get YouTube or Hulu on the system for launch. It's bizarre. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Right now you can transfer the old YouTube Switch app to the Switch 2 but…it doesn't work, so that's not any sort of workaround. This is one of those things where I think we give Nintendo too much slack about, the fact that the console can launch with almost no actually new games and not even a ton of standard apps that it should have for day one. But hey, it's Nintendo and Nintendo always gets passes. Hopefully we hear more about this soon from a source other than what a help account bot, but I have to believe it's a priority on at least Google's side, if not Nintendo's. There's no way it can take as long as it did last time, right? Right? Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.

Stock Movers: Aon, Intuitive Surgical, Synchrony Financial
On this episode of Stock Movers: - Aon (AON) shares drop ahead of its investor day. The company said management will reaffirm the firm's 2025 guidance across all key financial metrics.
