IT companies are hunting deals rather than waiting for clients to float tenders
The country's largest information technology (IT) services companies are actively hunting for deals rather than waiting for clients to float tenders, as uncertain macroeconomic conditions and a need to outperform competition are prompting IT outsourcers to become deal hunters. While IT service providers, including Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. and Zensar Technologies Ltd, said they are bagging deals through such client mining efforts, peers Birlasoft Ltd and Firstsource Solutions Ltd are focusing on creating large deals. Also Read | Mary Meeker's AI report: Decoding what it signals for India's tech future 'See, there are two types of large deals. One, where things are coming as RFPs (request for proposals) in the market. And the second is where you have to create large deals. So the pipeline for where we are trying to proactively create large deals is very good. The pipeline for RFPs where anyway the probability of selling is very low, that is fairly muted, and that has been muted for us for quite some time," said Manish Tandon, chief executive of Zensar Technologies, during the company's post-earnings conference on 25 April. Zensar ended last fiscal with $624.5 million in revenue, up 5.4% on a yearly basis. IT outsourcers generally win large deals through RFPs, which include a client floating a tender for IT-related work. Multiple IT outsourcers bid for such contracts and pitch their offerings to the client. Ultimately, the tech services company bidding a low price and doing more for less is awarded the contract. Also Read | AI-first startups outpace SaaS firms in funding race However, such RFPs are rare in this macroeconomic situation, with governments imposing tariffs on imports. This is causing companies to pull back their tech expenditure, which is considered non-essential at times of such uncertainty. As a result, tech services companies are actively mining clients to bag deals. Finding deals Last week, Nasdaq-listed Cognizant announced that it bagged two deals through its mining efforts, fetching upwards of $500 million in revenue. Surya Gummadi, the company's Americas president, said in a fireside chat with Bank of America analyst Jason Kupferberg last week that both mega deals came after Cognizant passed on artificial intelligence (AI)-led productivity gains to clients, leading to additional investments in IT work. 'Both the mega deals that I spoke about, they were originated by us, they did not come from an RFP," said Gummadi, adding that 'the ideas originated from us." Cognizant ended last year with $19.74 billion in revenue, up 1.98% year-on-year. Also Read | Tech industry fights to save clean-energy tax credits While Cognizant and Zensar spoke about client mining paying dividends, two of its peers highlighted a shift in focus. 'We have identified an existing very senior leader to take the mantle of opening accounts, and we have identified about 19 or 20 accounts that we are going to go after, so that we can create pipeline and close them," said Angan Guha, chief executive officer (CEO) of Birlasoft, in a post-earnings call with analysts on 29 May. His views were echoed by a larger peer, which is the newest entrant to India's $1 billion IT club. 'We are engaged very deeply with all our existing customers. And at this stage, we are trying to see how we can help them and use the current environment actually to our advantage to provide them proposals which allow them to create operational efficiencies further in their business," said Ritesh Idnani, CEO of Firstsource Solutions, as part of his prepared remarks during the post-earnings analyst call on 28 April. Active search Notably, each of the companies ramping up new deal creation,except Cognizant, earns less than $1 billion in revenue annually. Firstsource Solutions and Birlasoft reported $944 million and $635 million in revenue for the year ended March 2025, respectively. At least one analyst attributed the drive to a lack of macroeconomic clarity. 'As it is, demand is slow, and outsourcing deals have slowed down because we are entering a weak economic situation. In such a scenario, IT outsourcers have to create their own demand rather than just for deals to come to them through RFPs," said Pramod Gubbi, founder of Marcellus Investment flip-flops and an uncertain demand environment have prompted large Fortune companies to stop awarding large IT deals. Gubbi added that smaller IT outsourcers first try to win small deals and get a foot in the door of large clients. Once they have a fair understanding of the client's IT systems and the extra IT work that they can do to modernize them, they mine those accounts for more IT work. A second analyst attributed the reason behind companies chasing large deals to eliminating competition. 'The moment a deal gets into the RFP stage, there will be price competition. If IT service providers have an existing relationship with the client, they will understand the problem and will try to proactively create a solution that can help them get ahead of their competition and eliminate chances of a price war," said Abhishek Kumar, research analyst at JM Financial. Kumar added that AI is an integral part of such conversations when it comes to creating large deals. Another analyst said this was an effort by IT outsourcers to increase their footprint in their accounts. "This is an aggressive move to encourage enterprise clients to consolidate more of their services with them, and benefit from economies at scale, take advantage of more automation and AI," said Phil Fersht, CEO of HFS Research. The bid to push clients for more business comes as Fortune companies are narrowing the number of IT outsourcers they work with.

Pimpri Chinchwad makes history as Maharashtra's first civic body to list Green Municipal Bonds on BSE
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 11 (ANI): In a major milestone for municipal climate financing in India, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) on Tuesday successfully listed its Rs 200 crore Green Municipal Bonds on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), becoming the first civic body in Maharashtra to raise funds exclusively for sustainable mobility urban projects through this route. The bell-ringing ceremony held at the BSE in Mumbai witnessed an enthusiastic turnout, with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis terming PCMC's achievement as a proud moment for the state. Highlighting the growing importance of using market instruments for sustainability projects in urban governance, Chief Minister Fadnavis noted, 'As soon as the bond was issued, the base amount of Rs 100 crore was subscribed within the very first minute. This is not only a testament to the strength of PCMC's vision but also to the trust investors place in Maharashtra's governance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been consistently encouraging urban bodies to raise resources through municipal bonds, and PCMC has taken the lead in this direction. The listing process is complex and requires high levels of diligence--I congratulate every official, institution and partner involved in making this happen.' Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar were also present at the ceremony, which marked the official listing of the bonds, which were oversubscribed 5.13 times and received bids worth Rs 513 crore. These funds will be utilised for the Harit Setu project in Nigdi Pradhikaran and for the sustainable mobility development project from Gawalimatha to Indrayani Nagar Chowk on Telco Road - both key components of the city's long-term environment and climate strategy through the encouragement of the 15-Minute City Concept through Harit Setu. The project will also be amongst the first proof of concept of last- and first-mile connectivity for Metro Transport and BRTS Bus Transport through active mobility. PCMC Commissioner Shekhar Singh expressed gratitude to the investing community, stating, 'This is more than just a financial accomplishment--it's a bold step toward building a greener, smarter, and more resilient Pimpri Chinchwad. The investor confidence shown today is a strong endorsement of our direction. We are committed to using these funds not just for infrastructure but to promote green and climate-aligned urban development.' On this occasion, Chief Minister Fadnavis also felicitated Commissioner Shekhar Singh with a special listing memento presented on behalf of the Bombay Stock Exchange. Also present were MLCs Uma Khapre and Amit Gorkhe and MLAs Mahesh Landge and Shankar Jagtap, who lauded the city's initiative. Jagtap remarked that such financial tools could also be explored for broader social infrastructure in the future. Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik praised the move as a benchmark in urban innovation, saying, 'The enthusiastic response from investors clearly reflects the credibility of public institutions like PCMC. As urbanisation accelerates, sustainable growth must remain our priority--and PCMC's move is a model worth replicating.' Chief Secretary Sujata Sounik and senior officials including Urban Development Additional Chief Secretary UD-1 Aseem Gupta, Principal Secretary UD-2 KH Govindaraj, MCGM Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, NMMC Commissioner Kailash Shinde, KDMC Commissioner Abhinav Goyal, Bhiwandi Commissioner Anmol Sagar, Ulhasnagar Commissioner Manisha Awhale and Panvel Commissioner Mangesh Chitale were present at the event, along with PCMC Additional Commissioners Pradip Jambhale Patil and Trupti Sandbhor, Chief Accounts and Finance Officer Pravin Jain, Joint City Engineer Bapusaheb Gaikwad, Deputy Commissioner Anna Bodade, Executive Engineer Sunil Pawar, and Public Relations Officer Prafulla Puranik. The Bombay Stock Exchange was represented by its Managing Director Sundararaman Ramamurthy, who congratulated PCMC and outlined BSE's role in facilitating municipal bond transactions. Aditi Mittal, Managing Director of AK Capital Services Ltd., the transaction's merchant banker and advisor, also attended the ceremony. The Green Bonds, rated AA+ by both CRISIL and CARE, carry a competitive interest rate of 7.85 per cent. Repayments are secured through an escrow account backed by PCMC's Property Tax collections. The civic body's strong fiscal discipline and its alignment with national green goals enabled it to secure Rs 20 crore as an incentive from the Government of India for successfully executing this bond issue. With this landmark moment, PCMC has not only unlocked an innovative funding mechanism but also demonstrated how climate finance can be mainstreamed into local governance--setting an example for other cities across India to follow.
