“LTI can benefit from Mindtree’s strength in the experience layer of digital and addressing CMO budgets while the latter can benefit from the former’s strength in packaged applications. Overlap among key clients is minimal ensuring no turf wars. Our revenue growth estimates already bake in certain synergy benefits,” Kotak Institutional Equities said.
