Year End :2025-03 

1. We have audited the accompanying Standalone Financial Statements of Latent View Analytics Limited ("the
Company"), which comprise the Standalone Balance Sheet as at March 31, 2025, and the Standalone
Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive Income), the Standalone Statement of
Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement of Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes to the
Standalone Financial Statements, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory
information.

2. 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 ("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, and total comprehensive
income (comprising of profit and other comprehensive income), changes in equity and its cash flows for the
year then ended.

Basis for Opinion

3. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under Section
143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the "Auditors'
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 Standalone
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 opinion.

Key Audit Matters

4. Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the Standalone Financial Statements of the current period. 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.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit
matter

Determination of value of derivative asset
in respect of options over non-controlling
interest in Decision Point Private Limited.

(Refer note 8.6 and 32 to the Standalone
Financial Statements)

Our audit procedures included the following:

(i) Understood and evaluated the design and

derivative asset.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit

matter

On July 1, 2024, the Company completed the
acquisition of Decision Point Private Limited
(hereinafter referred to as "Decision Point"),
pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement ('SPA')
as described in the aforesaid note. The Company
has acquired 70% of the paid-up equity capital
of Decision Point for a total consideration of INR
3,315.00 Million in the first stage and is committed
to purchase the balance stake of 30% over the next
2 years based on an 'earn out' model (considered
as forward contract). The fair value of such forward
contract is recognised as a derivative asset
amounting to INR 849.00 Million in accordance
with Ind AS 109, "Financial Instruments".

Management engaged an independent
professional valuer (management's expert) for
determination of the fair value of the derivative
asset, based on the best estimate of possible
outcomes of conditions mentioned in the SPA.

and the related disclosures and thus we consider
this to be a key audit matter.

Other Information

5. The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises
the information included in the Director's report including Annexures thereto, Management Discussion and
Analysis, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and Corporate Governance Report but does not
include the Standalone Financial Statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Director's report including
Annexures thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report
and Corporate Governance Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this Auditors'
report.

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 identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information is materially inconsistent with the Standalone Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained
in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the Director's report including Annexures thereto, Management Discussion and Analysis,
Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and Corporate Governance Report, if we conclude that there
is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance
and take appropriate action as applicable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with
Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

6. 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, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company in accordance
with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards
specified under Section 133 of the Act. 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 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.

7. 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.

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

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone
Financial Statements

9. 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 Auditors'
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.

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

• Identify 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 Standalone 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 Auditors' report
to the related disclosures in the Standalone 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
Auditors' 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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 of the current period and are
therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our Auditors' 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.

Other Matter

14. The Standalone Financial Statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024, were audited by
another firm of chartered accountants under the Act who, vide their report dated May 07, 2024, expressed
an unmodified opinion on those Standalone Financial Statements.

15. As required by the Companies (Auditor's Report) Order, 2020 ("the Order”), issued by the Central
Government of India in terms of sub-section (11) of Section 143 of the Act, we give in the

on servers physically located in India during the year and the matters stated in paragraph 16(h)(vi)
below on reporting under Rule 11(g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as amended).
Further, in the absence of sufficient appropriate audit evidence, we are unable to verify whether the
backup of certain books of account and other books and papers maintained in electronic mode has
been maintained on a daily basis on servers physically located in India during the year.

(c) The Standalone Balance Sheet, the Standalone Statement of Profit and Loss (including other
comprehensive income), the Standalone Statement of Changes in Equity and the Standalone Statement
of Cash Flows dealt with by this Report are in agreement with the books of account.

(e) On the basis of the written representations received from the directors as on April 1, 2025, taken on
record by the Board of Directors, none of the directors is disqualified as on March 31, 2025, from being
appointed as a director in terms of Section 164(2) of the Act.

(f) With respect to the maintenance of accounts and other matters connected therewith, reference is
made to our remarks in paragraph 16(b) above on reporting under Section 143(3)(b) and paragraph
16(h)(vi) below on reporting under Rule 11(g) of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as
amended).

(g) With respect to the adequacy of the internal financial controls with reference to Standalone Financial
Statements of the Company and the operating effectiveness of such controls, refer to our separate
Report in
"Annexure - A".

(h) With respect to the other matters to be included in the Auditors' Report in accordance with Rule 11 of
the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014 (as amended), in our opinion and to the best of our
information and according to the explanations given to us:

i. The Company has disclosed the impact of pending litigations on its financial position in its
Standalone Financial Statements - Refer Note 29 to the Standalone Financial Statements.

ii. The Company did not have any long-term contracts including derivative contracts for which there
were any material foreseeable losses.

iii. There were no amounts which were required to be transferred to the Investor Education and
Protection Fund by the Company during the year ended March 31, 2025.

iv. (a) The management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, as disclosed in
Note 33(v) to the Standalone Financial Statements, no funds have been advanced or loaned or
invested (either from borrowed funds or share premium or any other sources or kind of funds) by
the Company to or in any other persons or entities, including foreign entities ("Intermediaries"), with
the understanding, whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Intermediary shall, whether
directly or indirectly, lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever
by or on behalf of the Company ("Ultimate Beneficiaries") or provide any guarantee, security or
the like on behalf of the Ultimate Beneficiaries;

(b) The management has represented that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, as disclosed in the
Note 33(vi) to the Standalone Financial Statements, no funds have been received by the Company
from any persons or entities, including foreign entities ("Funding Parties"), with the understanding,
whether recorded in writing or otherwise, that the Company shall, whether directly or indirectly,
lend or invest in other persons or entities identified in any manner whatsoever by or on behalf of the
Funding Party ("Ultimate Beneficiaries") or provide any guarantee, security or the like on behalf of
the Ultimate Beneficiaries; and

(c) Based on such audit procedures that we considered reasonable and appropriate in the
circumstances; nothing has come to our notice that has caused us to believe that the representations
under sub-clause (a) and (b) contain any material misstatement.

v. The Company has not declared or paid any dividend during the year.

vi. Based on our examination, which included test checks, the Company has used multiple accounting
software for maintaining its books of account. One accounting software does not have the feature
of recording audit trail (edit log) facility. With respect to three other accounting software used for
maintaining its books of account, in the absence of independent service auditors' report covering
the entire financial year, we are unable to comment whether the audit trail feature of these software
was enabled and operated throughout the year for all relevant transactions recorded in the software.
Consequently, in respect of all the aforesaid software, the question of our commenting on whether there
was any instance of the audit trail feature been tampered with or preserved by the Company as per the
statutory requirements for record retention, does not arise.

17. The Company has paid/provided for managerial remuneration in accordance with the requisite approvals
mandated by the provisions of Section 197 read with Schedule V to the Act.
