Material Changes and Commitments affecting the Business Operations and Financial Position of the Company

The business environment remained uncertain in the financial year ended March 31, 2024. Inflation and interest rates both stayed high along with geopolitical volatility. This resulted in customers rigorously reviewing their technology investments and cutting down or deferring discretionary spends. Global macroeconomic measures to rein in inflation may have reached the tail end of the cycle. There are expectations of rate cuts towards the second half of the calendar year 2024, and this is expected to drive overall growth in the calendar year 2024. Further escalation in geopolitical conflicts can potentially lead to spikes in energy prices, disrupt supply chains and create trade barriers.

Additional information regarding your Company's business operations and financial position are provided as part of the MD & A Report from page no. 32 onwards.

Outlook

According to the Strategic Review 2024 published by NASSCOM (the “NASSCOM Report”), revenue for the Indian IT services' sector is expected to witness growth of 2% year-over-year in fiscal year 2024, led by infrastructure management and networking services in distributed environments, cloud-based software testing services, and consulting services. It is expected that there will be an increase in foundational spend across cloud, IT modernization, digital customer experience, and digital engineering projects.

According to the NASSCOM Report, AI-related activities have witnessed a significant uptick with 2.7x growth in activities related to industry collaborations and partnerships, product/service launches and enterprise GenAI strategies. Your Company expects that GenAI will be a key priority for IT service providers, with the legal and regulatory landscape expected to evolve rapidly, setting the stage for greater adoption in the second half of calendar year 2024 and into 2025.

Governments across the world are expected to implement regulations which prioritize data protection, breach detection and containment, and responsible use of AI.

The NASSCOM Report estimates that the engineering services (“ER&D”) will grow at 7.4% year-over-year. With digital imperatives and the resurgence of AI, ER&D maintains its concentration on digital engineering, leading to development of new products and service categories.

Companies continue to prioritize cost takeout and operational excellence initiatives, with spending expected to gradually improve in fiscal year 2025. Companies are also prioritizing sustainability and resilience, aiming to globalize their operations to take advantage of cost arbitrage, greater access to talent, and faster innovation. The financial services, hi-tech and telecom sectors continue to remain soft, with the healthcare and automotive sectors being bright spots. Consumer goods and manufacturing sector clients are investing cautiously due to cost takeouts and weak consumer spending.

Digital transformation and infrastructure modernization continue to be a global priority, with a particular focus on cloud and cybersecurity. Your Company expects that increased interest and adoption of technologies such as automation, intelligent applications, and AI including responsible AI, GenAI-enabled virtual assistants, Edge computing, 5G, and industrial IoT will create opportunities for the services industry.

Your Company expects the IT services industry to accelerate and drive decisions in fiscal year 2025 based on investments made by clients in key areas such as AI, GenAI implementation, cost optimization, operational excellence, digital transformation, vendor consolidation, productivity improvement, customer experience programs, innovation in products and services, talent management, future of workplace and workforce, and ESG initiatives.
