Business Snapshot
Where Growth Is Coming From
Fractal's generative and agentic AI practice contributed ₹640 crore in FY26, up from ₹190 crore the prior year, as enterprise clients moved pilots into production. Its healthcare imaging and consumer-goods forecasting products account for a growing share of recurring revenue.
How is an AI services company valued differently?
Investors are underwriting the mix shift from staffing-linked services to product and platform revenue, which carries higher gross margins and lower client concentration risk.
Why It Matters
A successful Fractal listing gives Indian public markets their first large, pure-play AI comparable — a reference point that will shape valuations for the next wave of applied-AI companies filing in FY28.
