The top line was aided by strength in Global Clients business.

General Electric revenues of $93 million declined 24% year over year and contributed 10% to total revenues. The downside was mainly due to productivity commitments and macroeconomic impact.

Genpact exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $644 million compared with $680 million recorded at the end of the previous quarter. Long-term debt totaled $1.6 billion compared with $1.3 billion recorded in the prior quarter.
