2.14 Provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when the expected benefits to be desired by the Company from a contract are lower than unavoidable costs of meeting to future obligations under the contract and are measured at the present value of lower than expected net cost of fulfilling the contract and expected cost of terminating the contract.
Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events, the occurrence or non-occurrence of which is dependent on the happening of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or a present obligation arising from past events with no probability of future outflow of economic benefits or the outflow cannot be estimated reliably. Contingent liabilities do not warrant provisions, but are disclosed unless the possibility of outflow of resources is remote.
Provisions and Contingent liabilities are reviewed at each reporting date.
2.15 Revenue
Revenue from contract with customers is recognised by applying revenue recognition criteria specified in Ind AS 115 'Revenue from Contracts with customers for each distinct performance obligation. The arrangement with customers specifies services to be rendered which meet criteria of performance obligations. Revenue towards satisfaction of a performance obligation is measured at the amount of transaction price (net of variable consideration) allocated to that performance obligation. The method for recognising revenues and costs depends on the nature of services rendered as mentioned below:
a) Time and material: Revenue from time and material contracts are recognised as the related services are performed, which is pursued based on the efforts spent and agreed rate with the customer. Revenue from the end of the last invoicing to the reporting date is recognised as contract asset.
b) Fixed price contracts: Revenue from fixed price contracts is recognised as per the 'percentage-of- completion’ method, where the performance obligations are satisfied over time and when there is no uncertainty as to measurement or collectability of consideration. When there is uncertainty as to measurement or ultimate collectability, revenue recognition is postponed until such uncertainty is resolved. Percentage of completion is determined based on the project costs incurred to date as a percentage of total estimated project costs required to complete the project. The input method has been used to measure the progress towards completion as there is direct relationship between input and productivity. In certain projects, a fixed quantum of service or output units is agreed at a fixed price. In such contracts, revenue is recognised with respect to the actual output achieved till date as a percentage of total contractual output.
c) Maintenance contracts: Revenue from fixed price maintenance contracts are recognised pro-rata over the term of the maintenance arrangement.
Contract modifications are accounted for when additions, deletions or changes are approved either to the contract scope or contract price. The accounting for modifications of contracts involves assessing whether the services added to an existing contract are distinct and whether the pricing is at the standalone selling price. Services that are not distinct are accounted for on a cumulative catchup basis, while those that are distinct are accounted for prospective, either as a separate contract, if the additional services are priced at the standalone selling price, or as a termination of existing contract and creation of a new contract if not priced at the standalone selling price.
The Company accounts for volume discounts and pricing incentives to customers as a reduction of revenue based on the ratable allocation of discounts/incentives to each of the underlying performance obligations that corresponds to the progress by the customer towards earning the discount/incentive.
The Company presents revenues net of indirect taxes in the statement of profit and loss.
Trade receivables and contract balances:
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in receivables, contract assets, and unearned revenue on the Balance Sheet. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed- upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals or upon achievement of contractual milestones.
The Company classifies the right to consideration in exchange for deliverables as either a receivable or as contract assets. A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional upon passage of time. Revenue recognised in excess of invoicing are classified as contract assets while invoicing in excess of revenue are classified as contract liabilities. Trade receivables and contract assets are presented net of impairment in the Balance Sheet.
The Company accounts for the deferred contract costs, upfront costs incurred for the contract, on a systematic amortisation that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the asset relates.
2.16 Other income
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis considering the amount outstanding and rate applicable in the transaction.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on net basis. This includes the changes in the fair value of foreign exchange derivative instruments, which are accounted at fair value through the statement of profit and loss.
Dividend income is recognised when the Company’s right to receive dividend is established.
2.17 Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits:
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
The Company’s contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the statement of profit and
loss as and when the services are received from the employees. Employee benefits include provident fund, superannuation fund, employee's state insurance scheme, gratuity fund, pension and deferred compensation, compensated absences and other short¬ term benefits.
Long term employee benefit obligations Compensated absences
The employees of the Company are entitled to compensated absences. The employees can carry¬ forward a portion of the unutilised accrued compensated absence and utilise it in future periods or receive cash compensation at retirement or termination of employment. The Company records an obligation for compensated absences in the period in which the employee renders the services that increase this entitlement. The Company measures the expected cost of compensated absence based on actuarial valuation made by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date on projected unit credit method.
Post-employment obligations
The Company operates the following post¬ employment schemes:
(i) Defined benefit plans Gratuity and pension
The Company accounts for its liability towards gratuity and pension ('post- employment benefits plan') based on actuarial valuation made by an independent actuary as at the balance sheet date using projected unit credit method. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of the post- employment benefits plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of the plan assets.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation. The net interest cost is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net balance of the defined obligation and the fair value of plan assets. This cost is included in the employee benefit expense in the statement of profit and loss. Remeasurement gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in the period in which they occur, directly in other comprehensive income. Changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation resulting from plan amendments or curtailments are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss as past service cost.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
Contributions in respect of provident fund and pension fund which are defined contribution schemes, are made to a fund administered and managed by the Government of India and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when service are rendered by the employees.
Contributions under the superannuation plan which is a defined contribution scheme, are made to a fund administered and managed by the Life Insurance Corporation of India and are charged as an expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made and when services are rendered by the employees.
Other short-term employee benefits
Other short-term employee benefits, including overseas social security contributions and performance incentives expected to be paid in exchange for the services rendered by employees are recognised during the period when the employee renders service.
2.18 Share-based payments
Certain employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments.
Equity settled share-based payment transactions:
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using a Black Scholes model.
That cost is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in employees stock option reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in employee benefits expense. The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit and loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of that period and is recognised in employee benefits expense.
Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Company's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions
are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions.
At the end of each reporting period, the Company revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the statement of profit and loss statement such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the share-based payments reserve in equity. Equity settlement component is not remeasured at each reporting date.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options if any is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
2.19 Earnings per share
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the year excluding treasury shares.
Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the net profit attributable to equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year are adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares, which includes all stock options granted to employees and Restricted Share Units ('RSU's') outstanding.
2.20 Operating segments
The Company's Chief Operating Decision maker is the Executive Vice Chairman and Managing Director who evaluates Company's performance and allocates resources based on analysis of various performance indicators by business verticals and geographical segmentation of customers. The Company has only one reportable business segment, which is rendering of Services. Segment information has been presented in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Ind AS 108 'Operating Segments' notified under the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015.
2.21 Financial instruments
(A) Initial recognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when a Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income ('FVTOCI') and fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL'). The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company's business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under Ind AS 115. Refer to the accounting policies for revenue in note 2.16.
(B) Subsequent measurement
a. Non-derivative financial instruments
i) Financial assets carried at amortised cost:
A financial asset is subsequently measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the asset in order to collect contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
ii) Financial assets at FVTOCI: A financial asset is subsequently measured at FVTOCI if it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Company has made an irrevocable election for its investments which are classified as equity instruments to present the subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive income based on its business model.
iii) Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets which are not classified in any of the above categories are subsequently fair valued through profit or loss.
iv) Financial liabilities: Financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, except for contingent consideration recognised in a business combination which is subsequently measured at fair value through statement of profit and loss. For trade and other payables maturing within one year from the balance sheet date, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
b. Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the statement of profit and loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in the statement of profit and loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship and the nature of the hedged item.
Effective interest method
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income/expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the net carrying amount on initial recognition.
Income is recognised on an effective interest basis for debt instruments other than those financial assets classified as at FVTPL. Interest income is recognised in the statement of profit and loss and is included in 'Other income’.
c. Hedge accounting
The Company designates derivative contracts in a cash flow hedging relationship by applying the hedge accounting principles designated in a hedging relationship, used to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain highly probable forecast transactions.
At the inception of the hedge relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the Company documents whether the hedging instrument is highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.
These derivative contracts are stated at the fair value at each reporting date.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated under cash flow hedge reserve. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity relating to effective portion (as described above) are reclassified to the consolidated statement of profit and loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the statement of profit and loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
d. De-recognition of financial assets and liabilities Financial assets
The Company de-recognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party. If the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the Company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received.
On de-recognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss if such gain or loss would have otherwise been recognised in the statement of profit and loss on disposal of that financial asset.
Financial liabilities
The Company de-recognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or have expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability de-recognised and the consideration paid and payable is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
e. Foreign exchange gains and losses
For foreign currency denominated financial assets measured at amortised cost and FVTPL, the exchange differences are recognised in the statement of profit and loss except for those which are designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship.
Changes in the carrying amount of investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI relating to changes in foreign currency rates are recognised in other comprehensive income.
For financial liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency and are measured at amortised cost at the end of each reporting period, the foreign exchange gains and losses are determined based on the amortised cost of the instruments and are recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
The fair value of financial liabilities denominated in a foreign currency is determined in that foreign currency and translated at the spot rate at the end of the reporting period. For financial liabilities that are measured as at FVTPL, the foreign exchange component forms part of the fair value gains or losses and is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
2.22 Fair value measurement
In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. The methods used to determine fair value include discounted cash flow analysis, available quoted market prices and dealer quotes. All methods of assessing fair value result in general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realised.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of asset or liability of market participants when pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.
Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these consolidated financial statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 102, leasing transactions that are within the scope of Ind AS 116 'Leases’, and measurements that have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realisable value in Ind AS 2 'Inventories’ or value in use in Ind AS 36 ' Impairment of Assets’.
In addition, for financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2, or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
• Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
2.23 Impairment of assets
a. Financial assets
The Company recognises loss allowances using the expected credit loss ('ECL') model for the financial assets which are not fair valued through statement of profit and loss. Loss allowance for trade receivables with no significant financing component is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For all other financial assets, expected credit losses are measured at an amount equal to the 12 months ECL, unless there has been a significant increase in credit risk from initial recognition in which case those are measured at lifetime ECL. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognised as an impairment gain or loss in the statement of profit and loss.
For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 'Financial Instruments', which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. The ECL loss allowance (or reversal) during the year is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
b. Non-financial assets
Other intangible assets, intangible assets under development, property, plant and equipment, capital work-in-progress and ROU assets are evaluated for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit ('CGU') to which the asset belongs. Intangible assets under development are tested for impairment annually. The Company bases its impairment calculation on detailed budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Company's CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated.
If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognised in the statement of profit and loss is measured by the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.
2.24 Dividend to equity holders
The Company recognises a liability to pay a dividend when the distribution is authorised and the distribution is no longer at the discretion of the Company.
The final dividend on shares is recorded as a liability on the date of approval by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and interim dividends are recorded as a liability on the date of declaration by the Company's Board of Directors. Dividend payments are accounted as an appropriation, presented as part of the other equity.
The Company declares and pays dividends in Indian rupees. Companies are required to pay / distribute dividend after deducting applicable taxes. The remittance of dividends outside India is governed by Indian law on foreign exchange and is also subject to withholding tax at applicable rates.
2.25 New and amended standards
Mentioned below are the new and amended standards as notified by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
(i) Amendments to Ind AS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) notified the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2025, which amend Ind AS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates to specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate
when exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require disclosure of information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.
The amendments do not have a material impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements.
(ii) Amendments to Ind AS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Non-current Liabilities with Covenants
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of Ind AS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025 retrospectively in accordance with Ind AS 8.
The amendments have not resulted in additional disclosures and have not had an impact on the classification of the Company’s liabilities
(iii)Amendments to Ind AS 12 - International Tax Reform- Pillar Two Model Rules
In August 2025, the MCA notified amendments to Ind AS 12 Income Taxes in response to the OECD’s BEPS Pillar Two rules and include:
A mandatory temporary exception to the recognition and disclosure of deferred taxes arising from thejurisdictional implementation ofthe Pillar Two model rules; and
Disclosure requirements for affected entities to help users of the financial statements better understand an entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.
The mandatory temporary exception - the use of which is required to be disclosed - applies immediately.
The remaining disclosure requirements apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 01, 2025, but not for any interim periods ending on or before March 31, 2026.
The amendments had no impact on the Company’s standalone financial statements as the Company is not in scope of the Pillar Two model rules
Standards notified but not yet effective:
There are no standards that are notified and not yet effective as on the date.
Note:
Impairment testing of Goodwill:
In an earlier year, the Company had acquired a specified business undertaking of Klaus IT Solutions Private Limited ("Klaus IT"), which is engaged in providing professional services in the areas of engineering, software, and information technology. As part of this acquisition, goodwill amounting to ?110 was recognised.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis. The recoverable value of Klaus IT is determined based on value- in-use calculation using the cash flow projections prepared by the management covering 5 year period.
The estimated value-in-use of Klaus IT is based on the future cash flows using annual growth rate of 4% and discount rate of 22% for periods subsequent to the forecast period of 5 years. An analysis of the sensitivity to a change in key parameters (i.e. operating margin, discount rates and long term average growth rate), based on reasonably probable assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of Klaus IT would decrease below its carrying amount.

Note:
Expected credit loss (ECL):
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The average credit period range is between 30-120 days.
As a practical expedient, the Company uses a provision matrix to determine impairment loss of its trade receivables. The provision matrix is based on its historically observed default rates over the expected life of the trade receivable and is adjusted for forward looking estimates. The ECL allowance (or reversal) during the year is recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
(d) Rights, preferences and restrictions attached to equity shares:
The Company has only one class of equity shares having a par value of ? 5 per share. Each holder of equity shares is entitled to one vote per share. The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors is subject to approval of the shareholders in the ensuing Annual General Meeting, except in case of interim dividend. In the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are eligible to receive the remaining assets of the Company in proportion to their shareholding.

i. Defined Benefit Plans - Gratuity
In accordance with the 'Code on Social Security, 2020’ , the Company provides for gratuity, a defined retirement benefit plan (the 'Gratuity Plan’) covering eligible employees. Liabilities with regard to such gratuity plan are determined by an independent actuarial valuation and are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss in the year determined. The gratuity plan is administered by the Company’s own trust which has subscribed to the "Group Gratuity Scheme" of Life Insurance Corporation of India.
The present value of the defined benefit obligation (DBO), and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured using the projected unit credit method.
The average rate of increase in compensation levels is determined by the Company, considering factors such as, the Company’s past compensation revision trends and management’s estimate of future salary increases. The discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Government of India securities as at the Balance Sheet date for the estimated term of the obligation.
Sensitivity analysis:
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:

26. Financial Instruments 26.1 Capital management
For the purpose of the Company’s capital management, capital includes issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves. The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to maintain a strong capital base to ensure sustained growth in business and to maximize the shareholders value.
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it maximises the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the capital structure. The Company monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends on its equity shares. The Company is predominantly equity financed which is evident from the capital structure. Further the Company has always been positive on its net cash position with cash and bank balances along with other treasury investments.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31, 2026.
The management assessed that fair value of cash & cash equivalents and Bank balances other than cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets, loans, trade payables, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, and hence these are carried at amortised cost.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
Investment in unquoted equity shares are measured at fair value through initial designation in accordance with Ind-AS 109. Investments in mutual funds and derivative assets/ (liabilities) are mandatorily measured at fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
#1. The fair values of the unquoted equity shares have been estimated using a Discounted Cash Flow model / comparable transactions. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including forecast cash flows, earnings growth, discount rate, and probabilities of the various estimates within the range used in management's estimate of fair value for these unquoted equity.
#2. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Foreign exchange forward contracts are valued using valuation techniques, which employs the use of market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, yield curves of the respective currencies, etc. As at March 31, 2026, the marked-to-market value of derivative asset or liability positions is net of a credit valuation adjustment attributable to derivative counterparty default risk. The changes in counterparty credit risk had insignificant impact on the hedge effectiveness assessment for derivatives designated in hedge relationships.
26.4 Financial risk management Objectives and policies Financial risk factors
The Company’s principal financial liabilities, other than derivatives, comprise of lease obligation, trade and other payables. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Company’s operations. The Company’s principal financial assets include security deposits, investments, trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents that is derived directly from its operations. The Company also holds FVTOCI investments and enters into derivative transactions for hedging purpose.
The Company is exposed to market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and other price risks. The Company risk management is carried out by the management which helps in identification, measurement, mitigation and reporting all risks associated with the activities of the Company. These risks are identified on a continuous basis and assessed for the impact on the financial performance. All derivative activities for risk management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It is the Company’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes will be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
A. Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and equity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings, deposits, investments, and derivative financial instruments.
The Company’s primary focus is to foresee the unpredictability of financial markets and seek to minimize potential adverse effects on its financial performance. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate foreign exchange related risk exposures. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristic of each customer and the concentration of risk from the top few customers.
i. Foreign currency risk
The Company operates internationally and a major portion of the business is dominated in foreign currency predominantly US Dollar, Pound Sterling, Australian Dollar and Euro currencies. Consequently the Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its services and purchases / import of services from overseas suppliers in various foreign currencies. The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures. The exchange rate between the rupee and foreign currencies has changed substantially in recent years and may fluctuate substantially in the future. Consequently, the results of the Company’s operations are affected as the rupee appreciates/ depreciates against these currencies.
The Company monitors and manages its financial risks by analysing its foreign exchange exposures.
The Company, in accordance with its Board approved risk management policies and procedures, enters into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure in foreign exchange rates.
The Company has applied the hedge accounting principles set out in Indian Accounting Standard - 109 "Financial Instruments" (Ind AS - 109) in respect of such derivative contracts, designated in a hedging relationship, used to hedge its risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations relating to certain highly probable forecast transactions. Accordingly, in respect of all such outstanding contracts as at March 31, 2026 that were designated as effective hedges of highly probable forecast transactions, (loss)/ gain, net of tax aggregating ? (340) (net of taxes) (March 31, 2025: ? (2) (net of taxes) have been recognised under the cash flow hedge reserve.
Sensitivity analysis:
In respect of the Company’s forward exchange contracts, a 5% increase/decrease in the respective exchange rates of each of the currencies underlying such contracts would have resulted in:
1. an approximately ? (392)/ 392 (decrease)/increase in the Company’s other comprehensive income as at March 31, 2026.
2. an approximately ? (413)/ 413 (decrease)/increase in the Company’s other comprehensive income as at March 31, 2025.
Unhedged foreign currency exposure
The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the volatility of the Company’s net monetary assets (viz. which includes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets, trade payables, other financial liabilities), which are denominated in various foreign currencies (USD, Euro, UK pound sterling, Aus $, SGD, CAD, Yen etc.)
Sensitivity analysis:
For the year ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 , every 5% increase / decrease of the respective foreign currencies compared to functional currency of the Company would impact profit before tax by ? 115 / ( ? 115) and ? 559 / ( ? 559) respectively.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that counter party will not meet its obligations under a financial instruments or customer contract leading to a financial loss. Credit risk arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposure to clients, including outstanding accounts receivable. Credit risk is managed through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The Company establishes an allowance for expected credit losses and impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade receivables and contract assets.
Financial guarantee contracts
The Company is exposed to credit risk concerning financial guarantees provided to the subsidiary's banks. The Company’s exposure is limited to the maximum amount it might need to pay if the guarantee is invoked. The Company charges the subsidiary a fee at fair value for these guarantees. As of the balance sheet date Company does not believe there are any counterparty non¬ performing risks (refer note 24).
Trade and other receivables:
The following table gives details in respect of percentage of total receivables and contract assets from top customer and top five customers (excluding related parties):
Investments:
The Company limits its exposure to credit risk by generally investing in liquid securities and only with counterparties that have a good credit rating. The Company does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counter-parties, and does not have any significant concentration of exposures to specific industry sectors or specific country risks.
C. Liquidity risk
The Company's principal sources of liquidity are cash and bank balances, investments in mutual funds and cash generated from operations. The Company believes that working capital is sufficient to meet its current requirements. Accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived.
As of March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company had unutilized credit limits from banks of ? 2,996 and ? 2,854, respectively.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of ? 14,484 (March 31, 2025: ? 19,332) including cash and bank balances of ? 9,410 (March 31, 2025: ? 6,528)
The Company has not defaulted in any financial loan covenants.
Note: The Company’s obligation towards payment of lease liabilities has been included in note 3B.

strategic rather than trading purposes.
