In November, government data showed that quarterly growth had fallen to 4.5 percent, its slowest pace in more than six years. Infosys earns over 60 percent of its total revenue from the United States. The December-ended quarter is generally considered a weak period for India's $150-billion IT sector - one of the country's flagship industries - due to annual holidays in Western markets. In an indication of positive sentiment, shares in Infosys were up by almost two percent in Mumbai - where it is also listed - as markets closed Friday ahead of the release of its quarterly results. Its rival Tata Consultancy Services postponed its earnings announcement originally set for Thursday due to a high-profile legal battle over corporate governance issues.
