QUALITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND INNOVATION

Achieving Zero Defect Delivery to our customers and
achieving Excellence at every touch point is one of our key
strategies to achieve our Mission of becoming a leading
independent software & systems integration partner in
mobility. To achieve this objective of ensuring zero defect
delivery to our customers, we had designed a comprehensive
quality framework centred on three pillars: People, Process
and Technology. This framework focuses on improving
performance at Project/Program level, Practice level and
Unit level. As in previous years, we identified and executed
key initiatives from this framework, incorporating the latest
trends in the industry. For each initiative, we worked on
a comprehensive plan, defined processes with focus on
sustenance and scalability, ran pilots, incorporated pilot
feedback and then deployed across all projects through
robust governance mechanisms.

To keep pace with emerging trends in the mobility industry
and to achieve efficiency in our processes, we have
embedded continuous improvement as a core strategic
approach. These improvements are driven by project
learnings, customer feedback, and employee-led innovation.
A key initiative during the year focused on strengthening our
Agile capabilities. Building on efforts initiated in the previous
year, we engaged a senior industry consultant - an active
member of the Agile SPICE working group and an iNTACS
certified Principal Assessor for Automotive SPICE. Leveraging
this expertise, we enhanced our KPIT Quality Management
System (KQMS) to better support Agile methodologies,
aligned to SAFe and compliant to Automotive SPICE. Then we
conducted a few pilots and refined our approach based on
feedback. Additionally, we upgraded our project management
tools to align with Agile practices to ensure seamless and
effective adoption. The current focus is on scaling these
enhancements across all projects for maximum impact.

To align our processes with evolving cybersecurity
requirements, particularly ISO 21434, we enhanced our
KQMS during the year with the support of both internal
experts and external industry consultants. In parallel, we
strengthened our existing functional safety processes
to comply with the latest version of ISO 26262. We also
initiated our journey towards Cybersecurity Management
System (CSMS) and Functional Safety Management System
(FSMS) certifications.

As part of our strategic focus on enhancing productivity,
we put our focus on AI-based automation and created a
comprehensive plan to cover various stages of engineering
lifecycle. Few key solutions have been designed, piloted and

deployed across projects and few more in the pipeline. To
track productivity at individual level, tools and systems have
been put in place. Looking ahead, the upcoming financial
year will see strong emphasis on leveraging AI-driven
solutions to achieve significant increase in productivity and
speed, ultimately delivering better value to our clients.

To sustain and enhance quality with our scale, we adopted
an AI centric system driven approach for management
process automation. In this direction, we implemented series
of automation initiatives during the year. Key enhancements
included upgrades to our project tracking system, project
management tools, competency management systems,
and customer satisfaction platforms. These systems were
seamlessly integrated and supported by intuitive workflows,
process controls, noncompliance detections, live visual
dashboards for real time monitoring. This comprehensive
automation strategy enabled uniform implementation across
projects, strengthened quality rigor, facilitated deployment in
new entities, accelerated competency development, improved
speed of execution, and expanded span of control.

As a result of our sustained quality initiatives, we not only
achieved but exceeded Customer Satisfaction Rating targets
with a consistent higher coverage in all quarters, recording
highest rating in the last quarter. We also achieved positive
downward trend on high-risk projects, reflecting stronger
project execution. While we continue to drive internal
initiatives to sharpen our quality focus, our commitment
is further demonstrated through ongoing alignment with
globally recognized standards. We are in the mid of journey
towards achieving CSMS and FSMS certifications. In addition,
we continue to uphold our existing quality certifications on
ISO:9001 and Automotive SPICE, reinforcing our dedication
to delivering best-in-class quality across all engagements.

To reinforce our commitment to product quality, we
expanded scope of our
Katapult framework by introducing
additional KPIs focused on code and test quality, while
also extending its coverage across more projects. This has
resulted in significant benefits to our customers, enabling
consistent and continuous improvements in product quality.
Furthering this momentum, we enhanced the product
review process by integrating new KPIs into the review
mechanism. Following successful pilot implementations, we
are preparing to scale this initiative with automation in the
upcoming financial year. We also maintained a strong focus
on the
First Time Right mindset, backed by clear metrics to
track progress. This continued emphasis plays a critical role
in driving us closer to our goal of Zero-Defect Delivery.

virtual Platform for vehicle simulation & validation

One of the key challenges faced in ADAS and AD
development is Verification and Validation. Given the
safety- critical nature of ADAS/AD, it’s important to
ensure high levels of accuracy for this. This is where
Virtual Simulation for Validation comes into play.

Solution and Technology Deployed:

Deployed highly resilient container platform along with
distributed event streaming platform clusters with
Kerberos. The solution has a built-in load balancer for
optimum workload distribution. This platform contains
Jenkins for CI/CD which allows continues delivery cycle.

Smart campus Platform

KPIT has begun the Smart Campus initiative and rolled
out various “Smart Applications” for Employees. These
applications were aimed at changing the user experience
while optimizing the energy consumption. KPIT has
pursued this initiative further and taken it to the next
level by deploying “Smart Campus” platform and has
integrated fourteen different systems and sensor
driven devices that come under the aegis of Building
Management System (BMS). Traditionally, all these
BMS such as access control, CCTv, fire alarm system
and air-conditioning systems operate within their own
silos and use legacy (often proprietary) protocols.
The siloed approach leads to an absence of ability to
conduct common monitoring and controlling. In the
past year, we made significant strides in enhancing
operational efficiency and user experience through the
implementation of a state-of-the-art desk reservation
system and a comprehensive visitor management
system. These systems have not only streamlined the
booking and utilization of workspace resources but also
bolstered our campus security by providing a detailed,
real-time overview of visitor movements.

Solution and Technology Deployed:

KPIT has brought in a higher level of automation in all
these 14 systems by use of various control panels and
adaptors and has got them integrated to our platform.
This has enabled the Company to provide accurate
instantaneous reporting data of all these systems along
with control functionality in a single dashboard. We
are getting more visibility on electrical consumption
across floors buildings, with clarity on which system
is consuming how much electricity, how it can be
effectively optimized. Automation in various pumps and
Fan systems gives more operational efficiency for the
operations team and reduction in human errors along
with reduction in electrical usage. The operations team
is now better equipped to see all the systems on a
single dashboard.

Hyper-converged Infrastructure

KPIT is an early adopter of Hyper-Converged
Infrastructure and has been reaping its benefits for
the last 4 years. In our pursuit of continual services
optimization, the Company has adopted Hyper-
Converged Infrastructure from the leading OEMs.

Scaling out HCI cluster is helping us to suffice dynamic
business requirements, quick customer on boarding &
on the fly resource upgradation for deployed workloads.
Inbuilt deduplication capabilities are helping us in
effective storage management.

Solution and Technology Deployed:

KPIT was looking for an agile solution which will help us
in making operations simpler, could be commissioned
much faster, could be scaled on demand and could
be effectively managed by skilling existing human
resources.

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure addressed these
issues. It combines storage, networking, and computing
resources into a single, integrated platform, allowing
for easier management and scalability. We could
implement a hyper-converged solution within a few
hours. Even achieving disaster recovery is much simpler
and it supports multi-hypervisor environments.

Over the period, KPIT IT has expanded the use of Hyper-
Converged Infrastructure (HCI) for running the critical
workload. As businesses continue to generate and rely
on more data than ever before, HCI is becoming an
increasingly de facto standard for data center expansion.

One of the main benefits of HCI is its ability to
scale quickly and easily. With traditional data center
infrastructure, adding new servers, storage arrays,
and network switches can be a time-consuming and
expensive process. With HCI, however, adding additional
resources is as simple as adding a new node to the
existing cluster. This allows us to quickly and easily
expand data center as the needs grow, without incurring
significant additional costs. Another advantage of HCI is
its simplified management interface. Instead of having
to manage multiple systems for storage, networking,
and computing, HCI provides a single interface for
managing all resources. This not only makes it easier
to manage the data center but also helps to reduce the
risk of errors and misconfigurations that can lead to
downtime and data loss. HCI has also helped to reduce
data center footprint and power consumption. Because
it integrates all resources into a single platform, there
is less hardware to manage, which leads to significant
cost savings on power and cooling. Currently, around
90% of the critical workload is running on the HCI
infrastructure.

The following environmental Returns are achieved:

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure has helped us in
saving power, cooling, and space by an additional 30%.
We could also optimize the asset ratio from 7 to 1 for
the same computer capacity in the datacenter. We
continued investing into this technology last year too
and the organization is reaping its benefits.

KPIT’s dHci Implementation Project:

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of
KPIT’s next-generation Hyper-Converged Infrastructure
(dHCI) project. This innovative approach to data center
management, introduced in mid-2023, has significantly
enhanced our operational efficiency and flexibility.

Key Benefits Realized:

Independent Scaling: Unlike traditional HCI, dHCI
allows us to scale computing and storage resources
independently, ensuring optimal resource allocation
based on workload demands.

enhanced flexibility: The ability to adjust resources as
needed has improved our responsiveness to changing
business requirements.

Efficient Resource utilization: By aligning resources
more closely with actual needs, we have achieved
better performance and cost-efficiency.

cost Savings: dHCI has lowered the 20% amount of
space and energy that data centers need. It combines
all resources into one platform, which reduces the
hardware to manage, and saves a lot of money on power
and cooling.

virtual Desktop environment

The latest version & enhanced capacity has been brought
to virtual desktop environment. Implementations to
make processes more efficient, increased automation,
security and deploy IT to make collaboration across
geographies easier. The Company has deployed the
most advanced technologies for its processes. These
deployments are scalable and future ready to support
changing work styles, information security criteria, and
the changing usage patterns of computing devices.

Solution: KPIT decided to shift from conventional
desktop technology to Virtual Desktop Interface (VDI).
The following operational aspects were considered
while implementing the VDI solution: delivery on
demand services for users, increase IT efficiency,
simplify management, and ensure software compliance.
Though KPIT was already evaluating a virtualization
solution that was deployed in a limited environment,
it had not explored the idea of transitioning the core

ERP processes onto the virtualized environment but
had transitioned only the less critical ones. Taking a
step further toward optimizing energy requirement
and consumption, KPIT decided to increase use of
virtualization technology.

Solution and Technology Deployed: HCI (leading OEMs)
& VDI (thin client) based infrastructure platforms.

The following Environmental Returns were achieved
after deployment of VDI:

1. Energy savings: More than 60% reduction in energy
consumption was achieved by moving to the private
cloud platform (including new technologies like hyper
converged) with VDI as compared to using conventional
computers. Cisco Unified Computing System, which is
included as part of the private cloud platform, delivers
high memory capacity to support a large number of virtual
machines on each blade server, thus reducing the amount
of physical equipment to be powered and cooled. The
desktop computers that consume around 150 watts of
electricity, were replaced with very small devices called
thin clients that consume just 30 watts. This has resulted
in energy savings of approximately 3,00,000 units per year
amounting to 375 MT of Co2 emission.

2. Reduction in e-waste: Almost 90% reduction in
e-waste generation was achieved due to the increased
IT hardware refreshment cycle for desktops, laptops,
and workstations. The lifespan of the above-mentioned
hardware is about five years due to high resource
requirement, capacity, performance demand, and
due to newer operating systems, application software
and tools. Being a technology provider, it is extremely
important for us to update our IT hardware platform
and prepare it for the next generation development
tools. The thin client on the other hand has more than
eight years of lifespan. Till that time, it does not require
upgrades or replacement as all the resources such as
computing power, memory and disk space are accessed
through VDI setup hosted in the datacentre. Under this
infrastructure, we deployed 600 VDIs for the business
users.

3. Reduced iT Asset Ratio from 1.20:1 to 1.10:1: VDI

environment enables multiple users to access their
accounts using a single machine without compromising
on the security aspect. Before deploying the virtual
desktop environment, the asset-to-employee ratio was
1.20:1. This meant that much of the IT infrastructure was
underutilized and consumed more natural resources.
After the deployment of the Private Cloud platform
with VDI, the asset ratio has reduced to 1.10:1 thereby
reducing the computer hardware consumption by 10%.

4. Workplace utilization increased by 10%: The VDI

helped in improving the utilization and flexibility of IT
assets. Users can access their desktop, applications
and data from any location, without compromising
on the security of the system. In addition, employees
can connect to corporate resources using any of the
personal devices like iPads, Windows and Android based
mobiles, thus enabling Consumerization of IT. This has
led to workplace flexibility and optimal utilization of
workspaces.

5. reduction in travel across locations: KPIT has deployed
the best of the solutions such as Cisco Telepresence
(Audio/Video conference) & Microsoft Teams across
the offices and Cisco WebEx for better collaboration.
With these solutions, our users can have conference
meetings from anywhere and through any device.
Even our business reviews, recruitment and customer
meetings are conducted using these technologies. It
has been observed that overall business travel across
the globe has been reduced by 25%. As this is a unified
collaboration platform, end user productivity is also
substantially improved.

One KPiT experience for newly acquired entities:

Upon acquiring the new entity, KPIT IT could leverage its
experience and expertise to help integrate the new entity
into our operations smoothly. We provided guidance and
support based on our years of experience in the industry,
sharing the best practices and lessons learned to ensure
a successful transition. We also facilitated knowledge
collaboration sessions, where our team members shared
their knowledge and expertise with the newly acquired
entity’s SME team, helping both teams to gain a deeper
understanding of operations and processes. Through this
collaborative approach, we were able to foster a culture of
continuous learning and improvement, while also ensuring
a seamless integration of the newly acquired entity into our
organization. We continue sharing experience and supporting
the success of the newly acquired entities, and we look
forward to continued collaboration and growth in the future.

Key Objectives achieved -

1. One KPIT Experience.

2. Improved collaboration.

3. Effective project management.

4. Enhanced security for acquired entities.

5. Business continuity and disaster recovery.

6. Creating a global technology talent pool.

MATERIAL CHANGES AND COMMITMENTS
AFFECTING The FINANcIAL Position of The

company

There have been no material changes and commitments
affecting the financial position of the Company which have

occurred between the end of the financial year to which the
financial statements relate and the date of this Report.

However, during FY 2025, several macroeconomic,
technological, and geopolitical developments are reshaping
the global mobility landscape and influencing the financial
and strategic decisions of our clients:

1. Geopolitical and Economic Uncertainties: Global
disruptions—including the Russia-Ukraine conflict,
U.S. election dynamics, and evolving trade policies—
have contributed to supply chain volatility, inflationary
pressures, and business planning uncertainty across
key automotive markets.

2. Tariff Wars and Trade Tensions: The resurgence of
tariff wars and protectionist trade policies-particularly
between major economies such as the U.S., China,
and the EU-is creating a highly uncertain global trade
environment. For automotive OEMs, this translates into
increased costs for imported components, disrupted
cross-border supply chains, and the need to reassess
global manufacturing footprints. Many OEMs are
adopting a cautious approach, delaying investment
decisions and re-evaluating sourcing strategies to
mitigate geopolitical risks. The uncertain outlook is
also prompting a shift toward regionalization of supply
chains and localized production to buffer against future
trade shocks.

3. Market contraction and Margin pressures: OEMs
and Tier-1 suppliers are facing reduced unit sales,
compressed margins, and shifting consumer demand.
This is prompting a strategic pivot toward productivity-
led innovation, platform consolidation, and more
selective investment in new programs.

4. cost pressures and inflation: Elevated material costs
and rising interest rates are increasing the total cost of
vehicle production and ownership. This is affecting both
consumer affordability and OEM profitability, requiring
sharper cost control and value engineering.

5. technological Disruption: The transition to electric,
software-defined, and connected vehicles continues
to drive significant investment in embedded systems,
cloud-native platforms, and domain controllers. The
ascent of Chinese OEMs in global markets brings new
dimension in this evolving industry landscape. Chinese
OEMs are resetting the benchmarks for speed, cost, and
customer-centric innovation, developing new vehicles
in half the time and one-third the cost of traditional
OEMs - inturn disrupting the whole industry.

6. increased productivity expectations: Automotive
clients are under pressure to “do more with less.”
Decision-making cycles are lengthening, but delivery

expectations remain aggressive. Budget optimizations,
discount pressures, and efficiency mandates are
reshaping program execution norms.

7. sustainability and Regulatory mandates: Growing
regulatory scrutiny on emissions, battery traceability,
and ESG disclosures is compelling OEMs to invest in
cleaner propulsion systems and transparent supply
chains, accelerating the push towards sustainable
mobility.

8. Artificial intelligence & genAI in mobility: AI and GenAI
are emerging as transformative forces in the automotive
domain. From autonomous driving algorithms and
predictive maintenance to generative design and
intelligent in-cabin experiences, AI is enabling smarter,
faster, and more efficient development cycles.

In this evolving industry landscape, the Company remains agile
and well-positioned. Through continued investments in new
technology offerings, talent, and focusing on trusted client
partnerships, we are supporting our clients’ transformation
agendas and driving long-term value creation.
