The Travel vertical recorded a quarter- on-quarter growth of 6.0% and now contributes to 19% of total Q2 revenue. Other segments collectively grew 6.7% quarter-on-quarter and they now represent 30% of the overall revenue.
Among geographies, Americas grew by 11.9% sequentially contributing 48% to the revenue mix, EMEA grew by 7.3% contributing 36% to the revenue mix and Rest of the World grew by 5.6% contributing 16% to the revenue mix.
The order intake during the quarter was exceptionally strong, with two large deal wins. Fresh business of US$ 201 million was secured during the quarter under review, which is higher on both QonQ and YonY basis. A total of 12 new clients were added during the quarter. On the back of this continued deal signing momentum, the order book executable over the next twelve months increased to US$489 mn, representing a growth of 21% YonY.
The firm also saw its attrition improve further to 10.5%, among the best in the industry. Total employee strength increased to 11,162 at the end of the quarter, an increase of 564 people QonQ. The total headcount is now at a slightly higher level than at the end of Q4FY'20 when the Covid-19 pandemic took effect.
