Infosys Ltd reported a 1.4% rise in its fiscal first-quarter net profit as it grapples with a changing technological landscape and increased focus on its use of skilled-worker visas in the US. India’s second-largest outsourcer by sales said profit in the three months ended 30 June Rs34.83bn (USD540m) compared with Rs34.36bn a year earlier.

The Bangalore-based company maintained its projection that revenue for the current financial year, which ends 31 March 2018, will grow between 6.5% and 8.5% in constant currency terms.
