TCS TCS delivered steady performance with 6.8% YoY revenue growth in constant currency. Deal wins remained healthy at $9.2 billion, but large deal momentum slowed slightly due to client caution amid global uncertainty.

Reliance Industries Reliance once again delivered a blockbuster quarter. Jio added 8.2 million subscribers, while retail business crossed ₹2.5 lakh crore annualized run-rate. The green energy vertical showed impressive progress with multiple gigafactory milestones. Reliance’s ability to seamlessly shift capital across verticals remains unmatched in Corporate India.
