It has added a delivery centre in Pune and opened a new development centre in Kolkata. Utilisation improved to 83.1% (vs 81.5% in Q3FY22) despite strong hiring during the quarter. This was due to MTCL’s ability to bill its freshers on a quicker timeframe. LTM attrition increased to 23.8%, +190bps QoQ, in line with industry standards. Management expects this to gradually stabilise over coming quarters. We believe MTCL is handling supply side mechanism most efficiently in our coverage.
