The stock’s rally followed a strong overnight performance by US-listed IT services and software companies, which helped lift investor sentiment in the Indian technology sector. Other key IT players like Mphasis and Tech Mahindra also saw gains, reflecting a positive market rotation towards software and application firms, according to livemint.com.
This development highlights renewed investor confidence in Indian IT companies, which have been benefiting from global demand for digital transformation and software services.
