KPIT Technologies reported a subdued start to FY27, with profitability and revenue declining sequentially amid weakness in demand from European automotive clients. Consolidated net profit fell 28% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) to ₹117 crore, while revenue slipped 2% to ₹1,675 crore. Lower revenue also weighed on operating margins, although the company expects gradual improvement over the coming quarters, supported by a better revenue mix, AI-led productivity gains and a healthy order pipeline. Despite near-term challenges, KPIT secured $257 million worth of deals during the quarter and maintained confidence in a stronger second half of FY27.
