"FY 2011-12 has been a great year. We got the leadership team to a "back to basics" approach. We focused on a few verticals and did deeper mining of existing relationships.

Going forward, we believe we will continue to deliver higher revenue growth than industry estimates in FY2012-13 and improve EBITDA margins further. We do however see the uncertain global environment and the currency volatility as our biggest risks" said MindTree CEO & Managing Director, Krishnakumar Natarajan.
