LTIMindtree - Vendor Profile - Worldwide

LTIMindtree (LTIM) is a US-centric IT services vendor (75%) with a client base organized around three verticals that represent ~80% of revenues: BFSI (36% of revenues), high tech (telecom, media, and communication represent 25% of revenues), and manufacturing (19%).

The company is in a transition period. In late 2022, LTI’s acquisition of Mindtree carried high expectations of service cross-selling, resilience (through increased client diversification), and cost synergies (driving its EBIT margin). At the time of the merger, LTIM could not anticipate that a significant slowdown in IT services spending would impact the US, its first market. Despite the slow market conditions, LTIM’s financial performance has been satisfying: since the merger, CC revenue growth has been 4-5%, while its largest peers have struggled. Yet, its EBIT margin has eroded (from a PF of 17.8% in FY22 to 14.3% in FY25) to well below that of tier-1 competitors.

The company is taking action. It wants to reach $10bn in revenues by FY31 and has appointed a new CEO, Venu Lambu. Mr. Lambu wants to accelerate LTIM’s transformation, focusing on large deals, portfolio transformation, and cost savings, e.g.,:

1. Transform its sales organization by removing several hierarchical layers, recruiting new leaders in high-potential offerings, and exploring new sales models (using AI), targeting value selling rather than T&M/Cost +.

2. Increase its share of large deals by revamping its large deal pursuit team. The team will focus on multi-service line, multi-delivery, and multi-geography deals and systematically incorporate GenAI in deal solutioning.

3. Streamline its cost structure with the introduction of Fit4Future. Fit4Future relies on several existing and new levers, including reducing indirect and direct costs, removing hierarchical layers (and reshaping the age pyramid through fresh hiring), and increasing productivity, mostly through GenAI (e.g., for expense management, recruitment).

Along with large deals, one of LTIM’s priorities is to continue shifting its portfolio to digital, cloud, and security. The company has an unbalanced portfolio with good scale in security (4k practitioners), Salesforce (3k), and Adobe (1.2k) and niche capabilities, such as Pega (3k) and LC/NC (3k).
