Stars
5G and Network Modernization
Tech Mahindra holds a top-five global telecom systems integrator spot, driving 5G and network modernization for ~60+ carriers and claiming ~12% share of global 5G OSS/BSS transformations as of Q4 2025, positioning the unit as a high-growth Stars category.
Revenue from 5G & network services hit an estimated $1.1B in FY2025 (≈18% YoY growth), but sustaining leadership needs ongoing capex for lab infra and hiring—TechM added ~3,000 5G specialists in 2025.
The segment’s margins are healthy yet volatile: gross margins near 28% in FY2025, but R&D and skilling raise operating spend; still, it’s the firm’s primary growth engine toward software-defined networks.
Generative AI and Enterprise Automation
Tech Mahindra positions Generative AI and enterprise automation as a Star in its BCG matrix after embedding GenAI across the Nxt.NOW framework, driving industrial-grade use cases; AI.Go and Project Indus together closed 230+ enterprise deals by Dec 2025, delivering avg. 22% productivity uplift for clients.
Demand for AI-led automation across manufacturing and retail fuels projected annual revenue growth of ~28% for the segment in FY2026, but rising competition from Accenture, IBM and Infosys forces Tech Mahindra to target R&D spend near 7–8% of segment revenues.
Cloud-Native Application Development
Cloud-Native Application Development holds a Stars position: Tech Mahindra reported a 26% market share in specialized cloud modernization services in FY2024, driven by 35% YoY revenue growth in cloud engineering for microservices and serverless projects.
The unit invests ~INR 2,200 crore (USD 270M) annually to sustain hyperscaler partnerships (AWS, Azure, GCP) and to train 18,000 engineers in cloud-native stacks.
It consistently wins Fortune 500 digital engineering deals, contributing ~22% of Tech Mahindra’s FY2024 services revenue and showing EBITDA margins above 18%.
Cybersecurity and Risk Management
Tech Mahindra’s cybersecurity unit is a Star: revenue for security services grew ~28% YoY in FY2024, driven by demand for managed security operations and zero-trust deployments across telecom and enterprise clients.
Regulatory tightening (GDPR/India data rules) and a 70% rise in cloud attack vectors push market growth; TechM’s investments in threat intelligence and SOAR (security orchestration, automation, and response) platforms maintain its edge.
To sustain leadership, annual R&D and M&A must match sector CAGR ~12–15% through 2026 and scale automated response to cut incident dwell time under 72 hours.
- Revenue growth ~28% FY2024
- Sector CAGR ~12–15% to 2026
- Target dwell time <72 hours
- Focus: zero-trust, SOAR, threat intelligence
Sustainability and ESG Tech Solutions
Tech Mahindra’s Sustainability and ESG Tech Solutions is a Star in the BCG matrix, holding ~12% global share in ESG reporting platforms and growing >28% CAGR through 2025 as corporate mandates drive adoption.
By Q4 2025 the unit’s proprietary carbon-tracking and supply-chain-ethics tools served 1,100+ clients, contributing ~6% of group revenue and attracting $120M in strategic investments to scale circular-economy services.
The unit raises brand value and feeds high-margin digital consulting, with contract ARR up 34% YoY and gross margins near 42%, making it a strategic priority for Tech Mahindra’s growth.

- 28% CAGR to 2025

Cash Cows
Telecom Managed Services
Telecom Managed Services is Tech Mahindra’s traditional stronghold, holding ~18% share of its services revenue and delivering steady, predictable cash flows—FY2024 revenue from Network Services was Rs 12,300 crore (about $1.5bn).
Low incremental promo spend is needed due to multi-year contracts; focus is on operational excellence and cost optimization to lift margins (EBITDA margin target +200–300 bps).
Cash from this unit funded ~30% of FY2024 R&D and M&A spend, underwriting expansion into AI and quantum initiatives.
Enterprise ERP Maintenance
Tech Mahindra’s Enterprise ERP maintenance—covering legacy SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics—acts as a cash cow, delivering recurring services that generated an estimated $420–460M in FY2024 maintenance revenues (≈18% of services revenue).
Market growth for traditional ERP services is low single digits; Tech Mahindra’s 25–30% share in select maintenance pockets ensures steady cash flow with low capex and sub-10% operating margins variability.
These stable returns funded roughly 40% of the firm’s FY2024 dividends and a material slice of R&D spend, underpinning investments into cloud and digital transformation lines.
Business Process Services
Tech Mahindra’s Business Process Services (BPS) is a Cash Cow: it holds high market share in the mature global outsourcing market, generating steady revenue—BPS contributed ~₹4,200 crore (≈$500m) in FY2024, roughly 18% of group revenue.
Focused on healthcare and financial-services verticals, BPS sustains high EBITDA margins near 22% via process maturity and automation; investments target RPA and AI ops for 3–5% annual efficiency gains.
Capex and growth spend are modest; management prioritizes margin defense and cash generation over market expansion, making BPS a cash-positive pillar that stabilizes Tech Mahindra’s earnings during downturns.
Core Infrastructure Management
Core Infrastructure Management—traditional server, storage, and database administration—remains Tech Mahindra’s high-margin cash cow: FY2025 services revenue from legacy infra estimated ~USD 1.2bn, growth ~2–3% annually, low churn due to long-term contracts.
The firm’s reputation secures a large client base with minimal marketing spend, operations optimized over decades, yielding EBITDA margins ~28% on these services and steady free cash flow to cover debt and fund acquisitions.
- FY2025 legacy infra rev ~USD 1.2bn
- Growth outlook 2–3% p.a.
- EBITDA margin ~28%
- Provides stable FCF for debt service and M&A
Legacy Application Support
Legacy Application Support is a cash cow for Tech Mahindra: it holds high market share in low-growth maintenance of custom enterprise systems, generating steady margins and strong recurring revenue—Tech Mahindra reported stable IT services margins near 15% in FY2024, with large accounts producing predictable cash flow.
Clients stick due to deep institutional knowledge and high switching costs, so minimal new capex is needed; cash generated is redeployed to Question Marks like cloud modernization and digital services, which saw 18% YoY investment increase in 2024.
- High share in low-growth segment
- Stable margins ~15% (FY2024)
- High switching costs, deep institutional knowledge
- Low capex, passive cash generation
- Funds redirected to Question Marks (18% YoY investment rise in 2024)
Tech Mahindra’s ₹40k–42k Cr cash cows: high-margin telecom, ERP & infra fueling R&D/dividends
Telecom Managed Services, Enterprise ERP maintenance, BPS, Core Infrastructure, and Legacy App Support are Tech Mahindra cash cows—together they generated ~₹40,000–42,000 crore (≈$5–5.2bn) in FY2024–25, EBITDA margins 15–28%, low capex, funding ~30–40% of R&D/M&A and dividends.
