TCS hits back at CLSA for sector downgrade, says no weakness in demand

TCS, India's largest software exporter by sales, has hit back at brokerage house CLSA's IT sector downgrade.

The company's investor relations team sent out a mail to equity analysts stating that it hasn't witnessed any weakening of demand and that visa issues, though an irritant wasn't disruptive enough to justify a sudden sector downgrade. ET NOW has a copy of the mail sent by TCS.

"On the matter of macro worries, we are not seeing any weakening of demand. Clients continue to fund new projects and ramp-ups are proceeding smoothly. The worry of a systemic shock from Greek default remains, but that is no incremental negative either," TCS said in the e-mail.
