S Rangarajan, Chairman & Managing Director, Data Patterns (India) Ltd, said that as communicated at the time of IPO, the company “has smoothened the business through the year.” Accordingly, the last quarter revenue moved from 70 per cent of the annual revenue in FY 21 to 55 per cent in FY 22 to 41 per cent in FY 23. Full year growth is more representative of business performance rather than the quarter, he said in a release.

On Friday, the company’s stock price on the Bombay Stock Exchange closed at ₹1,590, down by 2.21 per cent.
