"HGS continued its strong growth in the third quarter of FY2022, led by robust performance in our UK, digital, and healthcare businesses in a growing BPM demand market," its Executive Director and Group CEO Partha DeSarkar said.
He further said the company posted a strong rise of over 117 per cent in PAT to Rs 163.75 crore, which is its highest-ever quarterly profits.
In Q3 FY2022, the Retained Business (CES, HRO, and Digital) grew 22.1 per cent, while the recently-divested healthcare business grew 18.3 per cent as compared to the corresponding quarter last year.
During the quarter, the capital expenditure was Rs 46.2 crore.

The company further stated that it has completed the divestment of its healthcare services business in the first week of January 2022.
"This transaction is a recognition of the kind of path-breaking work that HGS has been doing in the last two decades in building its domain capabilities and unlocks significant value for the shareholders," it claimed.
HGS has also signed definitive agreements for the acquisition of Diversify Offshore, an Australian BPM company as well as agreed in principle to acquire the digital business of NXTDIGITAL.
"We believe these acquisitions will help us to expand into new client markets with already established clientele, strengthen our domain capabilities in digital and media verticals while opening up a direct-to-consumer practice in India. Today, enterprises are looking for a partner who can help them innovate, grow and optimize their business through digital-led transformation," DeSarkar said.
In line with this, HGS is making significant investments in developing digital solutions to deliver superior customer experiences for clients and their customers, he noted.
"We will continue to build HGS 2.0 through proactive solutioning and acquiring digital capabilities across automation, analytics and AI and cloud even as we look at geographic expansion," DeSarkar added.
