Bengaluru: India's third largest IT firm Wipro on Friday posted over 2 per cent increase in consolidated net profit at Rs 2,120.8 crore for June 2018 quarter.
The net profit, attributable to shareholders, in the year-ago period was at Rs 2,076.7 crore.
According to a regulatory filing by Wipro, its total profit grew marginally to Rs 2,093.8 crore for the April-June 2018 quarter, from Rs 2,082.6 crore in the year-ago period.
Its revenue from operations grew 2.5 per cent to Rs 13,977.7 crore during the period under review from Rs 13,626.1 crore in the same quarter last year.
Wipro, which gets bulk of its topline from IT services, said it expects revenues from that business to be in the range of USD 2,009 million to USD 2,049 million in the September quarter.
"This translates to a sequential growth of 0.3 per cent to 2.3 per cent, excluding the impact of the divestment of our hosted data centre services business which concluded in the quarter ended June 30, 2018," Wipro said in a regulatory filing.

Our investments in Digital continue to help us build differentiation in key industry segments, which is resulting in a consistent improvement in our client metrics,," Wipro CEO Abidali Z Neemuchwala said.
He added that the company had witnessed a "good quarter of order bookings" and exuded that Wipro is moving in the "right direction".
