HCLTech, India's third-largest software exporter, outperformed expectations with a 6.2% rise in net profit and a 6.5% increase in revenues in Q3. Meanwhile, Wipro reported a steep 12% fall in profits and a 4.4% dip in revenue. HCLTech's success can be attributed to the $2.1-billion Verizon deal and an increase in headcount.
