INFORMATION RELATING TO ENERGY CONSERVATION, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION, AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO

(a) Conservation of energy

The Company, being in the mobile advertising technology business, is relatively less resource intensive in terms of material inputs. However, as a responsible corporate entity, the Company endeavors to reduce its energy consumption by tracking the consumption of resources critically.

(b) Technology absorption and innovation

The Company innovates and enhances its technology capabilities to deliver sustainable, profitable growth to all its shareholders. During the year, the Company has worked towards building expertise in the following technology domains:

1. Data Science Developments: During the year, we continued to grow the data science team both organically and inorganically through hiring. Affle, during this year, continued to cross-train developers in data science roles and organically train developers on generative AI, machine learning/data science, analytics, and statistics. Inorganically, we engaged with cloud providers, external conferences, and external training to ramp up our understanding of the latest technologies to improve our margins/efficiencies.

2. Jampp: Jampp also improved its intelligence with AI/ML initiatives, such as deeper models, multi-level models, improved pacing, and models for the latest in Apple's iOS 17 increase in limited ad tracking capabilities.

3. Appnext: Appnext expands its

recommendations with an OEM Store, adding more ways of interaction and better support for ad formats like Native Ads. Appnext also continues to improve its Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) solution, integrating improved folder installation, tablet support, minus 1 screen and widget support.

4. Mediasmart: Among many other innovations, Mediasmart launched several features on its platform based on a couple of different LLMs, making generative AI technology available to advertisers for advanced targeting solutions. Additionally, Mediasmart continued to evolve its CTV offering by developing new optimization algorithms for cross-screen campaigns. These algorithms aim to maximize results in campaigns that use CTV ads to drive action in other digital devices, such as mobile devices.

5. Newton: Newton is an intelligent and AI-driven engine that runs effective campaigns on Apple Search Ads for advertisers and brings together data from MMPs in a single funnel view. While our groundbreaking module “Telescope” acts as an intelligent and intuitive health card for the advertiser's app campaigns, the Automation engine offloads the human tasks by managing and monitoring the campaigns effectively. Powered by GenAI, the Keyword planner and custom Product Pages help to get better conversions, resulting in greater scale at lower CAC.

6. Youappi: Among its various innovations, YouAppi has started designing its product to be compatible with the Android Privacy Sandbox. To address the absence of the Google Advertising Identifier (GAID) in retargeting campaigns, algorithmic advancements are necessary. Specifically, the machine learning algorithm responsible for programmatic bidding on ad placements must now rely on an entirely new dataset and an innovative approach to calculate bid values.

7. DevOps Developments: Our DevOps team continually improves our infrastructure costs by working closely with the cloud providers to ensure that we optimize for the most optimum costs. The DevOps team has integrated this learning into the governance and processes within Affle. The team also continually improves our automation and security within the system. In the year, we have implemented

additional security checks and ensured systems adopt appropriate security for our internal as well as 3^rd party applications deployed internally and externally.
