astutely monitor the developments through constant dialogue with our customers to help us modulate how we use our resources to
invest in addressing the growth opportunities expected as normalcy returns. We have extended all help possible from a
humanitarian lens to ensure our employees benefit from working in a safe environment and providing precautionary measures,

including vaccinations. Our Emergency Response Team remains vigil and has ensured that we are ready for any contingency; be it
work from any location - home or office.

Your Directors are of the opinion that there is a need to remain cognizant of the looming uncertainty. Keeping this in mind, we have
strengthened our business on multiple fronts, including infrastructure to enable remote delivery of work and security by bolstering
our digital infrastructure. Our people practices & policies reflect the changed dynamic and have evolved to engage & motivate our
widely dispersed talent pool who take pride in the fact that they are with an upcoming company.
