Vishal Sikka says businesses are doing good even as promoters lose more than Rs 1,200 crore
Even as Infosys promoters and promoters group lost more than Rs 1,200 crore, CEO Vishal Sikka said the company was doing well in all the segments.

Infosys announced its financial results and reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 3603 crore, down nearly 3% from Rs 3,708 crore reported for the sequential quarter ended December 31, 2016, disappointing investors and analysts.

Sikka said Infosys crossed the $10 billion annual revenue mark for first time ever and it aims to achieve $20 billion annual sales by 2020. "The 2020 aspiration is a 'moonshot' and it has always been so,” he said.
