quarter ended June 2014 as against Rs 135.30 crore during the previous quarter

Recent Development: (as on 23rd Mar'14)
1. Open market purchase of shares by
CEO & MD of the Company
As per the disclosures under Reg. 19(4) of SEBI regulations
1992, Mr. Krishnakumar Natrajan has purchased 3,340 shares of Mindtree at
average price of 1381.5 on 19th & 20th March. Total holding of Mr.
Natarajan after purchase is increased to 19,98,043 i.e. 4.8%.
Mindtree has corrected almost 20% from its 52 week high of 1727,
correction in stock price has been seen considering company Q3 results below
expectations (company’s third quarter net profit declined 10 percent
year-on-year on foreign exchange losses) and recent appreciation in Rupee.
We believe Mindtree valuations at CMP of 1391 are reasonable and is a
good investment opportunity for medium / long term investors.
2. Mindtree signs pact with SITA for
finance system platform
Mindtree has inked a deal with SITA for providing application
support and evolutionary maintenance services for the strategic finance system
(SFS) platform. SITA specialises in providing IT and telecommunication services
