New Delhi: India's top IT service companies -- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Wipro -- will declare their respective third-quarter numbers for the financial year 2021-22 (FY22) on Wednesday. This is apparently the first time that the three firms will announce quarterly figures on the same day. It is widely expected that IT companies could post decent numbers following a year of acquisitions, deal wins and high digital transformation.
