We delivered market-leading sequential revenue growth and we are raising our full fiscal year guidance. The number of leading enterprises that rely on Virtusa for their most strategic end-to-end digital and transformational programs continues to grow. This gives us confidence in our growth strategy and long-term prospects.”
