which comprise the Balance sheet as at March 31, 2025,
the Statement of Profit and Loss, including the statement of
Other Comprehensive Loss, the Statement of Cash Flows
and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then
ended, and notes to the standalone financial statements,
including a summary of material accounting policies and
other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according
to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid standalone
financial statements give the information required by the
Companies Act, 2013, as amended (“the Act”) in the manner
so required and give a true and fair view in conformity with
the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the Company as at March 31,2025, its profit
including other comprehensive loss, its cash flows and the
changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the standalone financial
statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing
(SAs), as specified under section 143(10) of the Act.
Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the ‘Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of
the Standalone Financial Statements' section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with

the ‘Code of Ethics' issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under
the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the Code of Ethics. We believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
standalone financial statements for the financial year ended
March 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as
a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter
below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter
is provided in that context.

We have determined the matters described below to be
the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's
responsibilities for the audit of the standalone financial
statements section of our report, including in relation to these
matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of
procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the
risks of material misstatement of the standalone financial
statements. The results of our audit procedures, including
the procedures performed to address the matters below,
provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
standalone financial statements.

Key audit matters

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Carrying value of Goodwill

The Company carries goodwill of '. 78,409.27 lakhs of as
on March 31, 2025 in these standalone financial statements.
Management performs an annual impairment assessment of
Goodwill, as detailed in note 2.2 (a) under material accounting
policies read with note 4, to determine whether the recoverable
value is below the carrying amount.

The assessments made by the management involve significant
estimates and judgments, including revenue growth rates, net
profit margin and perpetual growth rates used to estimate
future cash flows and discount rates applied to these
forecasted future cash flows. These estimates and judgments
may be affected by unexpected changes in future market or
economic conditions or discount rates applied.

Our audit procedures included the following:

• We obtained an understanding of and evaluated the
process and controls designed and implemented by
the management to assess the potential impairment.

• We evaluated the methods and models used to
determine whether the recoverable amounts were
appropriate by comparing them with the requirements
of Ind AS 36 - Impairment of assets.

• We obtained and assessed management's
identification and evaluation of Cash Generating Unit
(CGU). We obtained the analysis performed by the
management to determine impairment of Goodwill
based on future cash flows.

Information Other than the Financial Statements
and Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Annual report, but does not
include the standalone financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not
cover the other information and we do not express any form
of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
and, in doing so, consider whether such other information
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or
our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears
to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management for the
Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the
matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements that
give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial
performance including other comprehensive loss, cash
flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India,
including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified
under section 133 of the Act read with the Companies
(Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended.
This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of
the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company and
for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and
prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance
of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating
effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness
of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and
presentation of the standalone financial statements that give
a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements,
management is responsible for assessing the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as

applicable, matters related to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless management either
intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or
has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing
the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the standalone financial statements as a whole
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it
exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalone
financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise
professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• I dentify and assess the risks of material misstatement
of the standalone financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for
one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to
the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing
our opinion on whether the Company has adequate
internal financial controls with reference to financial
statements in place and the operating effectiveness
of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates
and related disclosures made by management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use
of the going concern basis of accounting and, based
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that
may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures
in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the Company to cease to continue as
a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
of the standalone financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the standalone financial
statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance
regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including
any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify
during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a
statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate
with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and
where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the standalone financial
statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2025 and
are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters
in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes
public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely
rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should
not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
