5. STATE OF COMPANY'S AFFAIRS
For FY26, the Company reported revenue of ' 1,411 crore, reflecting a growth of 20% YoY. EBITDA margins stood at 20%, while PAT margins were maintained at 15%, despite the one-time impact arising from the implementation of the labour code. The performance was delivered amidst continued geopolitical disruptions and an evolving global technology landscape, where enterprises across sectors remained cautious in their technology spending due to ongoing shifts towards AI-led transformation, changing digital investment priorities and longer decision¬ making cycles.
The demand environment across our key business segments continues to remain encouraging, particularly within our Technology Innovation Group (TIG) segment, where we secured several strategic wins associated with metro rail projects across major cities in India. We continue to see a healthy pipeline of similar opportunities emerging in this space.
The Data Centre business witnessed a significant inflection during the year with the Company securing one of the largest mandates for development of an AI-focused data centre in India from a leading hyperscaler. This landmark win has further strengthened our positioning in a rapidly expanding market, where demand for data centre infrastructure in India continues to outpace available capacity. With our differentiated execution capabilities and domain expertise, we believe we are at the right place, at the right time, with the right capabilities to capitalise on this opportunity. Aurionpro is increasingly emerging as a preferred player in the AFC segment and, with the recent strategic wins in the data centre space, we believe the Company has the potential to move into a
different league of growth. To support this next phase of expansion, we will continue to invest in strengthening our value-chain integration, expanding capabilities, setting up state-of-the- art facilities and accelerating our investments in R&D and innovation. Further, as we undertake larger and more strategic projects, the business may require higher upfront investments, which could result in some transient pressure on the balance sheet as these growth initiatives scale up.
In the Banking and Fintech segment, we continue to expand our engagements with leading PSU banks in India as well as customers across international markets. Over the past year, we have integrated AI-led capabilities across our offerings, enabling us to address the evolving technology requirements of our customers more effectively. The year also witnessed successful go-live of several strategic projects, creating strong reference cases across regions and further strengthening our ability to drive new business wins. Overall, we continue to see a healthy demand environment across our businesses.
Leading PSU banks in India as well as customers across international markets. During the year, we remained focused on innovation and further strengthening our AI-led solutions and platforms through Aurionpro Lexsi.ai labs and our dedicated research labs across Mumbai and the UK. With the recent launch of Aurion.ai, our agentic AI platform for trade finance, and several other AI-native solutions currently under development, we believe we have significantly enhanced our capabilities and positioning in the evolving AI landscape.
As enterprises and financial institutions globally recalibrate their technology strategies and spending priorities in response to the rapid evolution of AI, we strongly believe that the emergence of AI and Software 2.0 presents a significant opportunity for Aurionpro. We are actively reimagining customer engagements, solution delivery and product innovation to align with this transformation and believe we are well positioned to capitalise on the next wave of technology-led growth. The year also witnessed successful go-live of several strategic projects, creating strong reference cases across regions and further strengthening our ability to drive new business wins. Overall, we continue to see a healthy demand environment across our businesses.
With a robust order book exceeding ' 1800 crore and continued additions to our opportunity pipeline across businesses, which gives us confidence about the medium-term growth trajectory of the Company. At the same time, we remain cautious and watchful of the evolving external environment and broader macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, which could lead to delays in closure of certain opportunities and deferment in project go- lives, similar to what we experienced during the last quarter. Nevertheless, we remain firmly committed to our Vision 2030 strategy and believe that the long-term value creation potential of the business remains strong and intact, supported by our expanding capabilities, growing market presence and continued investments in innovation and future- ready technologies.
