IT's Europe deal momentum is up after three slow quarters

Agencies Representative Image As the largest technology outsourcing market — the US — navigates through the trade and policy uncertainties, deal activity has seen increased traction from Europe after three slow industry analysts have seen an approximately 5% rise in European deals from the previous quarter even as the US market remained flat at 2% growth, as per US-based research firm HFS Group. Publicly India's largest IT giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) alone signed at least six deals in Europe since March — telecom tower operator Vantage Towers, France's Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, Netherlands-based multi-service utility provider Hanab, Council of Europe Development Bank, Denmark-based retailer Salling Group, and UK-based airline Virgin Atlantic. Second largest company Infosys partnered with Allied Irish Banks, UK's Yorkshire Building Society while immediate rival HCLTech bagged an engineering services deal with Swedish truck maker Volvo. Smaller peers L&T Technology Services and Tata Elxsi signed a €50 million deal each with undisclosed European auto manufacturers. Even as Wipro has indicated a softer outlook in Europe, it appointed a new CEO for its European strategic unit. This, at a time when the US corporates are pausing or cancelling existing projects, amid rising cost pressures due to the tariff impact weighing on them along with the constant change in the trade policies. 'We are seeing some gradual pick-up in the UK, Benelux, and Germany after three very slow quarters in Europe. Some enterprises are openly talking about transformation to better align with the uncertain trade environment and address legacy issues like cloud migration and cybersecurity,' said Phil Fersht, founder and chief analyst at advisory firm HFS Group. After a slowness of 17 deals signed in Europe from October to December 2024, the momentum picked up to 30 in January to March quarter 2025, as shown by BNP Paribas data based on publicly available key large deals. In April and May, 14 deals were signed without accounting for the month of June. In comparison, deal signings in US stood at 11 and 12 in December and March quarter, respectively while April and May saw five deals. As per data services platform ISG, Europe saw the value of deals jump to $4.08 billion January to March 2025, up from $3.4 billion in December quarter and $3.5 billion in January to March Jain, founder and CEO of India-based IT research firm EIIR Trend, highlighted that, European auto companies, which signed three deals in the whole of 2024, have signed at least five deals so far this year, with still half a year to go. 'The reason is that European auto companies want to reduce costs while investing in SDVs (software defined vehicles). They need external support from engineering service providers at competitive prices. So, they are looking at Indian engineering service providers.'They are making faster decisions compared to US auto companies, which are struggling with greater uncertainty and lack of policy clarity, Jain the pandemic, the Indian outsourcing leaders have also been increasing their acquisitions to nearly a dozen in Europe, where the pace of revenue expansion has dented growth owing to business companies such as TCS, KPIT Technologies also opened technology and delivery centres in European countries to accelerate the offerings in the region.'The supply chain and competitive pressures will help Indian companies take more share,' said KPIT Technologies MD and CEO Kishor to experts, cost optimisation opportunities in Europe especially in auto, manufacturing and BFSI are likely to see uptick in the ongoing fiscal year 2026. In a post-results conference in April, Infosys CEO Salil Parekh said the company has made several investments and scaled up in different geographies in Europe. 'So that is a good market for us. With the changes in the environment, we will sort of see what develops.' Its chief financial officer said Europe grew 3x of the company rate at 15% in constant currency terms driven by our focused approach of client mining, ramp-up of large deals and acquisitions. Besides Europe, other regions which showed growth, according to Fersht, are Middle East at around 5% with a smaller base. Meanwhile, Asia Pacific witnessed a decline of around 1-2%.The US contributes around 40-50% of the revenues for Indian IT majors, followed by Europe constituting about 20-30% of the more-than-$280 billion market of software services exported by India. For the January to March quarter, Europe's revenues at top eight firms continued to outgrow American region with a growth of 2.8% year-on-year and 1% sequentially as compared to Americas degrowth at (-0.1)% YoY and (-2.1)% sequentially, as per a recent Kotak Institutional Equities report.

Cheated investor of 3.66 cr, scamster's Dubai run ends in extradition

Surat: A Surat-based property broker, Upvan Jain alias Bunty Jain, who fled to Dubai after allegedly cheating a 62-year-old private sector employee of Rs 3.66 crore in a property scam, was deported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) authorities following an extradition request by the Indian govt. Jain was taken into custody by the Surat Police Economic Offences Cell at Ahmedabad airport on Saturday and was produced in court the following day. He was remanded to three days of police custody. The case against Jain and his eight accomplices was registered at Adajan police station and later transferred to the Economic Offences (Eco) Cell for further investigation. According to the police, Jain operated as a broker in Surat and allegedly duped Gyanchand Jain between 2019 and 2020 by promising high returns on real estate investments. He sold him four properties — an office in VIP Plaza and flats in River Palace, The Legend and Castle Brown residential complexes — and collected Rs 3.66 crore in the process. Investigations revealed that Jain and his associates created forged sale deeds, used stolen govt stamp papers and opened fake bank accounts to receive and divert the funds. These accounts were registered with Sutex Co-operative Bank, IndusInd Bank and Surat People's Co-operative Bank. The money was subsequently routed through multiple accounts to avoid detection. On learning about the fraud, Gyanchand filed a police complaint against nine people: Upvan Jain, Ashwin Langadiya, Arif Pathan, Naresh Vadhel, Rasik Ambaliya, Bansi Kalsariya, Sangita Kalsariya, Chetan Magroliya, and Vijay Langadiya. While the Eco Cell has already arrested the other eight accused, Jain had fled India. After the complaint was lodged, Upvan initially took shelter in his hometown Udaipur, Rajasthan, before flying to Dubai. A Lookout Circular (LOC) was issued against him, but with no return in sight, the Indian govt pursued extradition under its bilateral treaty with the UAE. Based on India's formal request, Interpol detained Jain in Dubai. He was deported to India after the legal process was completed and handed over to Surat police at Ahmedabad airport.
