According to reports from The Economic Times, the company's improved profitability was driven by its focus on high-margin businesses, with Professional Staffing - led by tech and niche skills - delivering robust EBITDA growth of 42% year-on-year.

As reported by The Economic Times, this revenue decline reflects broader market challenges facing the staffing industry during the quarter. The company's focus on high-margin segments and overseas operations has positioned it well for continued growth, with the Professional Staffing and Overseas verticals delivering strong performance metrics during the quarter.
