Considering factors such as a strong brand in digital IT services (96.9% of Revenue), high revenue-generating customer accounts, robust financial profitability growth, net-debt free status and minimal impact of Covid-19 pandemic, INDmoney remains positive on the prospects of the issue," INDmoney said in a report.
