Happiest Minds Technologies just dropped a pretty big update and the vibe is clear, their AI game is going crazy right now. The company said its growth is moving faster than expected, so it has upgraded its FY27 growth forecast to 12.5%, up from the earlier 10%. Basically, the company is saying the momentum from its AI strategy is hitting different and clients are really buying into it.
Back in March 2025, Happiest Minds had rolled out 10 big strategic initiatives to reshape its business over the next few years. One of the biggest plays in that lineup was the launch of Generative AI Business Services, which focused on helping companies integrate generative AI into products, operations and digital systems. Over time, that move started gaining serious traction, with clients across industries showing strong interest and adoption.
Then in February 2026, the company unlocked its 11th strategic initiative called ‘AI First’. This isn’t just another upgrade, it’s basically the company switching its whole mindset. With AI First, Happiest Minds is redesigning how it works, how it delivers services, and how it engages with clients, putting artificial intelligence at the centre of everything. In simple terms, AI is now the main character of the entire business strategy.
After reviewing client feedback, deal pipelines, and market demand, the leadership realized things are moving faster than expected. That’s why the company boosted its growth outlook for FY27 to 12.5% and is already aiming for around 15% growth in FY28, showing confidence that the AI wave will keep pushing the business forward.
Chairman and Chief Mentor Ashok Soota said the company is seeing accelerated growth powered by AI and other strategic moves. According to him, the AI-First approach is already delivering real results and helping clients transform their businesses at scale, which is fuelling the company’s strong momentum.
Co-Chairman and CEO Joseph Anantharaju also pointed out that industries like financial services, healthcare, hi-tech, and manufacturing are rapidly adopting AI solutions. That surge in demand is strengthening Happiest Minds’ business pipeline and validating the company’s AI-focused strategy.
Managing Director Venkatraman Narayanan added that the new forecast isn’t just hype or wishful thinking. He said it’s backed by real execution, strong client trust and proven delivery, which makes the company confident about sustaining its growth momentum in the AI-driven future of IT services.
