Bengaluru, April 27, 2020: Sasken Technologies (BSE: 532663, NSE: SASKEN) today announced its consolidated results as per Ind AS for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2020.

Rajiv C Mody, Chairman, Managing Director & CEO, Sasken Technologies Limited remarked: we have seen some headwinds in the closing quarter of this financial year, which we believe are a highly localized occurrence. These developments have resulted in a reduction in our revenues, but we have been able to manage our costs and hence post better margins. The more significant concern remains the uncertainty in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been successful in implementing business continuity measures while ensuring the safety of all employees. We are likely to face pressures both on account of volume growth and rates. A hyper-conservative sentiment is prevailing in the macro-environment and causing these shifts. We continue maintaining active dialogues with our customers to mitigate possible risks and keep it business as usual.
