In recent years, the Company has made substantial strides in expanding its portfolio of services, including SEO, web design and development, AI solutions, app
development, digital marketing, and IT services, across the United Kingdom (UK), the USA, and European countries. To bolster its market presence and capitalize on
growth opportunities, the Company has established a wholly-owned subsidiary in London, UK, strategically positioning itself further to expand its business operations
in the UK and Europe. Building on this strong foundation, the Company is set to enhance and diversify its service offerings, with a focus on digital marketing, web and
app development, and IT-enabled services (ITES). This strategic expansion aims to solidify the Company''s reputation as a leading provider of comprehensive digital
solutions in these key global markets, driving sustained growth and innovation in the years to come.
Last year, we had informed our stakeholders about the commissioning of our new 57,000 sq. ft. IT/ITES facility at I-46, Sector-83 Alpha, I.T. City, SAS Nagar (Mohali),
Punjab. The unit commenced commercial operations on October 1, 2023, and continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening our technology-led service offerings.
During the year under review, the Company achieved an important milestone in relation to this facility. We have complied with all the conditions of allotment and
related requirements stipulated by the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA). After obtaining GMADA''s approval for the conversion of the plot from
leasehold to freehold, the conveyance deed for the plot was duly executed on November 13, 2024, in favour of the Company.
With this, the SAS Nagar unit now stands on a freehold property owned by the Company, further consolidating our asset base and providing long-term security of
tenure. This development reinforces our commitment to strengthening infrastructure, ensuring compliance with all regulatory frameworks, and creating a sustainable
foundation for our future growth.
Currently, one floor of the facility is operational for IT/ITES activities, while the interior works for the remaining floors are progressing in phases. Once fully functional,
this state-of-the-art facility will serve as a critical hub for our operations, enabling us to enhance our business capabilities significantly. The expanded space and
advanced infrastructure will allow us to integrate and deploy new technologies, including AI-driven solutions, cloud computing, and advanced application
development. This investment positions us to meet better the growing demands of our global clients, foster innovation, and drive the next phase of our
growthâensuring we remain at the forefront of the industry.

The Management Discussion and Analysis Report for the year under review, as stipulated by SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015, is presented in a separate section forming part of this Annual Report.
Risks are inherent to our business as our operating environment is complex, highly regulated, and dynamic. To attain our strategic growth objectives, protect the
interests of all our stakeholders, and meet legal requirements, we have an established process for identifying, analyzing, and responding appropriately to all business
risks.
We have a well-embedded Risk Management Framework to ensure we are well-placed to manage any adverse effects posed by financial, operational, strategic, or
regulatory risks. Our framework adopts appropriate risk mitigation measures for identified risks across all functions. The process ensures that new risks that might
arise, or the impact of existing risks that might have increased, are identified, and a strategy is put in place to mitigate them.
The major risks identified by the management are regulatory, competition, supply chain disruption, cyber and data security, and economic and political risks.
A review of the risk management policy is carried out annually by the Board of Directors, which oversees the company''s risk management function. Our performance
in the year is a testament to the strength of our risk management system.
Your Company has a robust and reliable system of internal controls commensurate with the business''s nature and the operations'' scale and complexity. The Company
has adopted policies and procedures covering all financial, operating and compliance functions. These controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance
over:
1. Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
2. Safeguarding of assets from unauthorised use or losses
3. Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
4. Prevention and detection of fraud and errors
5. Accuracy and completeness of the accounting records
6. Timely preparation of reliable financial information
The current system of Internal Financial Controls (IFC) is aligned with the requirements of the Companies Act 2013 and is in line with the globally accepted risk-based
framework. The Internal Audit (IA) function of the Company functionally reports to the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, thereby maintaining its objectivity. The IA
function is supported by a dedicated internal audit team and resources from external audit firms across the locations. The annual internal audit plan is carved out from
a comprehensively defined Audit Universe that encompasses all businesses, functions, risks, compliance requirements and maturity of controls. The Audit Committee
approves the internal audit plan at the beginning of every year. Each quarter, the Audit Committee of the Board is presented with key control issues and the actions
taken on issues highlighted in the previous reports. The Audit Committee deliberates with the management, considers the systems as laid down and meets the internal
auditors and statutory auditors to ascertain their views on the internal control framework. The Company recognises that any internal control framework would have
some inherent limitations. It has taught a process of periodic audits and reviews to ensure that such systems and controls are updated at regular intervals.
The Board of Directors ("Boardâ) determines the purpose and values of the Company. The primary role of the Board is that of trusteeship to protect and enhance
stakeholdersâ value through the strategic supervision of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company is headed by a Board that exercises leadership integrity and
judgment in directing to achieve continuing prosperity and to act in the best interest of the Company. The Board plays a critical role in overseeing how the management
serves the short-term and long-term interests of shareholders and other stakeholders. This is reflected in the Companyâs governance practices, through which it strives
to maintain an active, informed and independent Board. The Board ensures that the Company complies with all relevant laws, regulations, governance practices,
secretarial, accounting and auditing standards. It identifies key risk areas and key performance indicators of the Companyâs business and constantly monitors these
factors. The Board is entrusted with the ultimate responsibility of the management, general affairs direction and performance of the Company and has been vested
with the requisite powers, authorities and duties.
The Board is at the core of the Company''s corporate governance practices and oversees how the management serves and protects the stakeholders'' long-term interests.
The Company believes that an active, well-informed and independent Board is necessary to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance. The Board of the

of business and expertise in their areas of specialisation.
