Press Releases

Bengaluru, October 23, 2018: Sasken Technologies Limited (formerly Sasken Communication Technologies Limited) (BSE: 532663, NSE: SASKEN) today announced its consolidated results as per Ind AS for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Rajiv C Mody, Chairman, Managing Director & CEO, Sasken Technologies Limited remarked: This quarter has been turbulent on account of two factors; one being the overruns in certain  programs as a result of scope changes and the other reason being the deferment of certain programs which we were expecting to fructify. Additionally, some deal closures have taken longer than expected.   We remain buoyant and have the resilience to get back to growth which remains the priority of my team and myself.
