European clients. Tata Consultancy, the top software services

profit for the quarter rose to 6.06 billion rupees ($134

its customers. "It took us the whole of fiscal 2004 to reach a
revenue of $1 billion; we reached the same level in the first
six months of this year," Nilekani said. Infosys also forecast

increase by more than 31 percent, a full five percentage points
