Manas Human, co-founder, said, "Nagarro has continued to grow and expand in H1, even as a digital engineering company in a business environment that has not been very conducive to discretionary spending. Though a few of our client projects had to scale back, fully 168 clients generated over 1 million Euro in revenue in the trailing twelve months to June 30, 2023, compared to just 131 for the same period a year ago. This reflects the growth dynamism that is present in most of Nagarro's business. Our long-term investments in diversifying across geographies and industries have paid off. So has our long-term focus on superior client experience, exemplified by a Net Promoter Score of over 60, which drives client stickiness and loyalty in difficult times. Nagarro is taking strong steps to trim its cost base, but our strategy remains to prioritize long-term growth."
