<ul>
<li>Some metrics worth tracking: As indicated in our 4QFY22 results note (Downgrade cycle upon us), the net new TCV number (down 60% YoY in FY22 due to mega-deals in the base year) and the unbilled revenue growth were some of the things that stood out.</li>

<div>
<ul>
<li>Things to watch out for in the coming days: (1) Whether the worsening profit picture of the US corporate sector – earlier than expected in the March quarter 2022 in certain consumer-facing sectors - spreads further (2) Whether those to whom offer letters are/were given are on-boarded as indicated (3) Whether hiring materially weakens from here on by the Indian service providers, especially if utilization is high (4) Will there be an upward revision in the guidance if we see a strong QoQ growth in 1HFY23 (5) Order inflow and commentary by Accenture as it releases its results in the latter half of June 2022; especially surrounding the discretionary spending on consulting.</li>
<li>We expect no deterioration as of this point. (6) Commentary on demand from the cloud hyper scalers and the Saas eco-system in the US (7) A stricter implementation of work from office rules – meaning companies are open to living with higher attrition as they see weakness in demand into the future.</li>
