  Fin services segment to not reflect much slowdown: MoneyControl on eClerx
  PD Mundhra, ED at eClerx Services Ltd, said the growth outlook, even if they have a flat Q4, may result to about Rs. 122 crore for the full year. It represents a good 40-45% growth over the last year, he told CNBC-TV18. He also said that they don’t see any major signs of a slowdown in the financial services segment.

Excerpts from CNBC-TV18's exclusive interview with PD Mundhra:
  Q: A: Can you give us your numbers in terms of topline and bottomline for the third quarter?
Our topline for the third quarter was about Rs. 34.7 crore and net profit was about 12.5 crore.
     
  Q: A: Give us an idea of what kind of a growth you hope to be able to clock for the full financial year going ahead?
As you are aware, SEBI restrictions prohibit me from speaking about that. If you compare our H1 numbers and Q3 numbers, over the nine months we have done about Rs. 87 crore in topline and even if we have a flat Q4, then it may result to about Rs. 122 crore for the full year. So even at those levels, I think it represents a good 40-45% growth over the last year.
     
  Q: A: Last time we spoke to you, you had said that you were looking at acquisitions in US and in Europe, how close are you to signing one up?
Frankly, we continue to look at opportunities all the time, but not much has changed since we last spoke on that subject, so I wouldn’t say that there is something very imminent.
     
  Q: How much growth do you see come in from the inorganic space in FY09 since that’s the financial that everybody is watching out for in terms of growth?
  A: We operate in two major segments, one is financial services, and other retail and manufacturing. Both for this year and the next looks like growth in both segments will be approximately similar. We don’t really see any major signs of a slowdown in terms of our practice in financial services.
