IT and outsourcing services company Cognizant expects full year revenue growth of just 8.5%-9.0%, less than half the growth seen in 2015, when its top line grew by 21%. The lower full year forecast comes as the company reported revenue growth of just 2.5% for Q3 of this calendar year. The revenue growth was less than the 3.5% growth reported by competitor Infosys. Another player, TCS, has reported an increase of just 0.3%. Cognizant’s Q3 2016 revenue was USD3.45bn, up 8.4% from USD3.19bn in Q3 of 2015. Reported net income was USD444.4m compared to USD397.2m in Q3 2015. Cognizant earlier announced the appointment of Rajeev Mehta as its new president.
