Outlook for the third quarter 2020-21

While we expect the momentum to continue in India into Q3, we have to wait and see how the economy would behave post the festive season. The current momentum in the international business is expected to continue, but for the continuing uncertainty posed by the prevailing situation with the pandemic.
