Reuters Market Eye - India's software exporters gain after global rival Accenture Plc (NYS:ACN - News) on Thursday raised its full-year profit forecast and the lower end of its revenue forecast.

That helps bring some relief after Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (NSI:TCS.NS - News) and Infosys Ltd (NSI:INFY.NS - News) warned about their quarterly revenue growth in recent weeks.

HCL Technologies Ltd (NSI:HCLTECH.NS - News) surges 1.8 percent and Infosys is up 0.6 percent.
