Highlights in our Emerging and Banking and Financial Services Verticals :

Within the Emerging Verticals, we have supported our customers on some of their business-critical projects. For one of our customers, we have built a fully embedded payment platform that offers their end customers a comprehensive and easy way to process payments. The solution prioritizes quality, scalability, and cross-platform functionality. We are also supporting this customer with a migration, hosting, and support of a key application within Azure cloud environment.

We have also started and continue to support on observability and proactive monitoring for a customer in the cloud storage space. The customer has many data centres across the world. Saksoft is involved in monitoring, analyzing and gaining insights into performance, health of infrastructure, applications and services.

The services provided include Monitoring, Visualization and Dashboards and Data Tracing.

Some of the initiatives for our customers comprise of AI POC''s such as

Bespoke Copilot for the legal teams resulting in increased productivity and reduced information retrieval time, AI powered customer compliance questionnaire saving significant time, faster turnaround - from days to hours for processing and so on.

One of our large Telecom client has embarked upon the initiative of transforming the service desk operations to address pain areas, deliver superlative user experience and optimise cost. The overall objectives include providing 360-degree coverage for employee experience across multiple service needs - through self-service, zero touch delivery, omni-channel UI, automated incident remediation, Gen-AI enabled self-help features.

The year 2024-25 has been a pivotal year for Saksoft''s BFS practice, marked by both industry challenges and strong momentum in strategic engagements, particularly with India''s largest credit bureau. While the overall fintech landscape experienced regulatory shifts and a more cautious growth curve, our focused investments in the platform modernization, compliance frameworks and multi-cloud solutions like G-Cloud and private cloud have yielded high impact outcomes.

One of our key achievements this year has been the design and rollout of an innovative, regulation-focused compliance solution tailored for one of the leading credit bureaus. This solution was built to help our client stay in full alignment with evolving regulatory standards while improving efficiency, data transparency and audit readiness. The new system reduced manual interventions and enabled near real-time compliance tracking through intelligent exception-handling and reporting modules.

We also executed a large-scale platform migration, helping our client move critical workloads across AWS, Google Cloud and private cloud environments. These migrations were completed on time and in some instances, ahead of schedule reflecting our team''s deep cloud expertise and strong delivery discipline. The engagement reinforced Fintech''s ability to manage hybrid and multi-cloud architectures while maintaining high standards of data integrity and compliance.

Additionally, we have collaborated on exploring use cases in Blockchain for enhancing data security and audit trails and have utilized Big Data architectures to manage and extract insights from massive data volumes across multiple banking functions. Our continued focus has been on integrating scalable platforms that support innovation, while aligning with the bank''s strategic priorities, ranging from customer experience transformation to operational efficiency and risk mitigation.

This engagement is a testament to our ability to support Financial Institutions with holistic, industry-aligned, and technology-enabled solutions.

Data Analytics:

2024-25 has a been a remarkable year when it comes to AI advancements and adoption. Many conversations have centered around AI and with endless possibilities on the horizon, we have hit the ground running and come up with a host AI based accelerators ourselves with many more lined up to come. We have also seen the advent of Agentic AI with all technology companies looking at hyper automation and operational efficiency by making their products Agentic AI enabled.

Talking about AI, the data analytics team is very excited to introduce our own AI led Data Engineering Platform - SolidHub.

Solid Hub - Unlocks data rapidly to make Customers products and platforms intelligent.

A secure AI-driven platform that ingests structured & semi-structured data to create a centralized, optimized data repository-ready for AI/BI and Agentic needs.

¦ Empowers data and AI leaders to move from GenAI pilots to scaling data solutions.

This is continuously being built upon with services like code generation, report level mapping, data lineage and many more to be added to the list of offerings on Solidhub. Based on the feedback from various discussions on SolidHub, we understand that Security and Scale are the primary areas of focus for the organizations today when working with GEN-AI and we have strengthened these capabilities in SolidHub.

We have not limited ourselves to SolidHub though. As an organization we have come up with many AI led accelerators (to name a few):

SakPilot: Coding Assistant

Sakverse: Test coverage and Test Automation assistant

Sakmod: Legacy code conversion assistant

We now have our focus on making products and ISV''s Agent ready and plan to deliver a host of accelerators to enable the agentic journey.

Taking a closer look at our AI engagement, we have been working on various use cases for one of our esteemed Telecom customers. The first Gen AI implementation was of a Legal bot built using Microsoft co-pilot studio. Not only did we use the out of the box features, but we were also able to customise feedback mechanisms making the bot an instant success in our client''s organization. We have also delivered a service desk automation bot (MS copilot studio) and a Q&A compliance agent (open AI full code approach) making us the preferred AI partners for this telecom giant. We have since engaged on an enterprise level with this customer with many projects either in flight or in pipeline with use cases like network optimization, voice analysis, predictive analytics and more.

II. BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND STATE OF AFFAIRS

SAKSOFT MAINTAINS SILVERLINE GROWTH STREAK

Information Technology industry is going through a transitional phase of disruption and re-imagination in the middle of a sluggish economic outlook across the world over the past few years. Political innuendoes and warfare haven''t been helpful either to wrest back the unfolding situation. All industrial sectors are facing the test of times and find themselves at an inflexion point to re-think its course of operations. We foresee this trend to hang around for a while before we wade away to a positive phase of long-term growth momentum that would open up budget spends on the fast lane with respect to digital transformation journeys. These are challenging times indeed to draw up and align to revenue guidance plans amidst clogged policy formulations from government and industry bodies that hamper consumer trends and spend patterns. We have also seen deviations and talks of moving away from consensus and pledges on climate protocols reached earlier by various countries. The concept and the effectiveness of Carbon offsets is also under the scanner for its ability to contribute to a greener planet and protect the environment as envisaged. The silver lining moment amidst the transformative industry cycle is that Saksoft is in its 25^th year of industry presence.

results and indicators of the Financial Statements of Subsidiaries is attached to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Form AOC-1.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 136 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Financial Statement of the Company, Consolidated Financial Statements along with relevant documents and separate Audited Accounts in respect of Subsidiaries, are available for public view on the website of the Company https:// www.saksoft.com/investor/financials/ .

In addition, these documents will be available for inspection during business hours at the registered office of the Company.

Particulars of Loans, Guarantees or Investments

Loans, guarantees and investments covered under Section 186 of the Companies Act 2013 forms part of the Notes to the Financial Statements provided in this Annual Report.

The buzzword around Generative AI and its outreach has garnered significant attention in the recent times for reasons on either side. We have just seen the tip of this disruptive technology that is waiting to assume proportions of greater magnitude and impact. AI has put the technology industry on the racing line and pitted the industry captains against each other to outdo and deliver industry altering outcomes and imagine new generation of solutions that shape up the extent of integration to other components of the economic ecosystem. Given the reach and direct impact right up to an individual level, AI can challenge the human race and the status quo in terms of how we function as an industry and society. It has also thrown up challenges in terms of retaining talents and staying relevant with clients as the industry is going through a churn and digital use and vision undergoing structural changes by the day. The big existential question doing the rounds is "Are you AI ready?”

The upside to AI and other path bending technologies is that it has undone the traditional thought processes and pushed technical minds to outthink first of its kind solutions to restart the way technology can be used to chart new paths for engaging and transacting on an everyday basis. It seems to be an agnostic phenomenon at the moment with unexplored depths and opportunities waiting to be unearthed. The challenge is how soon we are ready to adapt to the changes AI can bring in. Amidst

all the din, the industry is upbeat about re-inventing itself to widen the virtual possibilities and line up new age products and solutions. Whilst it''s a long road for AI to traverse, we believe its not here to replace humans entirely or cut workforce , but re-define opportunities. It means that we have to skill up, re-tune the creativity and enable the IT workforce to adapt to use generative AI to make better products and render unique services for nothing can beat the critical and strategic thinking ability of human minds.

We have the start up ecosystem running in parallel which are showing signs of stabilizing in the medium to long term with the government''s backing to promote and develop skills hub across the country. These entities driven by technology leaders with skilled minds and an appetite for risk taking coupled with independence in decision making augurs well for the industry to venture into niche and unexplored areas and to constantly keep innovating and do things better. It would help to create and nurture skills in new technologies. These kind of niche companies have done well with good governance, vision to excel and government support. They have the option to look up to the support of the industry and get integrated with mainstream IT organizations to scale up and widen their reach.

We can''t discuss about future developments in an organization or the industry without delving into the augmentation plan for resources and how to assist them to widen their creative spectrum and play with technological skills. The pandemic infused work from home, hybrid model and work from office debate has been going on for a while now, but we believe returning back to office is the ideal way for an individual to develop their career, hone their skills and learning by observing peers, superiors and leaders at work and more importantly imbibing values and culture by connecting with people at work. There is no need to break or dismantle the traditional work structures and models which have been surviving and growing on its own by the same set of people who make it tick. We want our resources and teams to be together, collaborate and learn from each other. We believe in values, We believe in People and that''s what makes Saksoft''s DNA. We want to protect it and help us face new challenges with renewed vigour and confidence.

We also believe that any digital or technology driven advancement has to be for public good. It should cater to a larger audience, touching every human and elevate the standard of living. The products and scope areas should involve more such domains and include development areas that can help attain inclusive growth in the society by bringing in all categories of people into the technology world. The road ahead is set for exciting times with technologies like generative AI opening up access to technology to young minds who can tap into the possibilities it has to offer with proper guidance and hone their learning skills from a very young age. If these technologies can be used to impart and build knowledge hubs, then we are looking at infinite possibilities to create more opportunities and work.

Saksoft would be reshaping its strategic outlook for business growth by adopting a more wholistic approach in the coming days to address sector specific needs of clients and deepen the niche level of engagements with various sectors of the economy. This would add more focus and direction to target aggressive growth in the next few years by aligning our workforce to stay equipped and relevant to the market requirements of various industrial segments which would get driven by the current technological wave to prepare for the future.

This drastically reduces the time and effort involved in manual test case creation, accelerating the testing process and reducing the risk of human error.

Leveraging the power of pre-trained models, the AI Test Generator ensures high accuracy and relevance of the generated test cases. These models understand the nuances of natural language, aligning the test cases closely with the requirement details. This precision reduces the risk of errors and omissions, ensuring a high quality of testing right from the start.

AI Test Generator offers seamless integration capabilities, allowing the test cases generated to be directly pushed to standard ALM tools or exported to Excel. This feature eliminates the manual effort of transferring test cases, reducing the potential for errors and streamlining the entire test case deployment process.

Recognizing the unique needs of different projects, the AI Test Generator provides the option for fine-tuning based on human feedback during the review process. This reverse feedback mechanism allows teams to customize and refine the AI model to better fit their specific requirements, ensuring that the generated test cases are not only accurate but also highly relevant and effective for the project at hand.

1. BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND STATE OF AFFAIRS

a. Business Operations - A Detailed overview Financial Performance:

We are pleased to look back at yet another Year where we stayed true to our commitments. The revenue for Year stands at Rs. 6656.04 Mn, reflecting an increase of 38.54% compared to the previous Year. The Net Profit for the Year stands at Rs. 819.78 Mn, which shows a growth of 29.58% compared to last Year.

SAKSOFT JOURNEYING TO A JUBILANT QUARTER OF INDUSTRY PRESENCE:

Saksoft is marching into its "golden quarter" of a journey time in the industry with a steady growth in market cap and a notch up in the ranking of the listed entities group. This bodes well not only for the investors who have thrown in their hats and remained with the Company during it’s growing years, but the all-weather set of Clients who have placed their unwavering trust and association with Saksoft’s capabilities, who have pushed and shaped the Company’s stable delivery practices and partnered on the journey with us. The clients have entrusted their digital landscape transformation in the capable hands of Saksoft’s expert team of thinkers and we ensure we come up with a solution plan that works to bring in the desired change in methodologies. This results in informed and improved decisions reflecting in better market preparedness for our Clients. The postpandemic times seem to have reset the ecosystem and ushered in an era of challenges. Whilst on one hand we see technology ruling the minds and action of everything big and small, we are also witnessing the altered use of it to pose threats and impediments by dark actors in the

netherworld. Technology never stands still nor does the global economy and tech leaders and their teams are dealing with uncertainties in both areas in 2023. From trimming budgets to tackling ever changing and growing cyber-security threats, we are facing challenging times. Tech companies today are driving and living disruption. You are either the disruptor or the disrupted. Becoming a future ready organization is crucial for thriving in the age of digital disruption. At Saksoft we truly believe in adapting to changes and spotting opportunities in risks. This has led us to add service areas around Cloud Native Solutions, Modern data Architectures, Meta Data driven designs, API ingestion frameworks, loT based solutions, Data Analytics, Al capabilities, Assurance Device labs, OTT & Codeless Web test automations, Cyber Security mapping & advisory and Integrated Networking Architecture to name a few. We have also expanded our delivery capabilities in Fin-Tech, Health-Tech and Reg-Tech verticals to deepen our services scope for clients and help us win new accounts.

2023 has been the year of tech lay-offs. With an uncertain economy and shrinking budgets companies are grappling with the aftershock for months and this has brought to the fore of making technology work more and address the gaps thrown by these global factors. Remote working is here to stay, but the crux lies in blending it with advanced tools and platforms to strengthen its robustness and enable productivity in the new realm. Achieving ease of operations and seamless employee interactions should be the center of the idea as this model continues to be a revenue generator. Companies are following hybrid models of working and the success lies in dissecting and nurture contributors to do more This would help build a culture of inclusiveness and walk along with the resources to chart growth stories using diverse delivery models. Saksoft has an employee friendly work culture that has led to it being certified as a ''Great Place to Work". We don’t believe in downsizing workforce, rather we would prefer to find ways to cross- skill and provide challenging opportunities to our resources.

We are staring down at a global slowdown and a possible recession hitting in the near future. It necessitates businesses to make wise financial investment decisions in the days to come with utmost prudence and get creative to add to the bottom-line. This would require Companies to look inwards and up their cross -sell quotient by staying client-obsessed and employee-focused. Customer experience should be the key driving each department''s actions. It is also important to foster a strong culture while maintaining rapid growth by constantly clarifying the company''s objectives and improving the communication between leadership and contributors.

With the perceived threats of economic downturn affecting businesses and individuals alike often featuring in leadership forums and analyst interactions, we are seeing a shift in the attitude and mindset of the market in general and the psychology of users. There is a lenience towards exercising caution and prioritizing budget spends. This has led businesses to balance innovations with a thrust on protecting the existing business models. It has re-shaped the methods of communicating value propositions to the users. We shall continue to keep Customers and their transformational needs as the focal points of our value chain by moderating our sales pitch as required to suit their budgetary plans without dropping the guard on technical quality.

This year also saw the new beast in the town -ChatGPT and other AI engines altering the tech-scape and changing the entire IT and tech ecosystems. It will be a challenge and opportunity for every IT organization to build and enhance their delivery points to provide conversation-led, structured responses. We are hearing noises in the market and cryptic opinions about AI as a threat to conventional operating models and humanity at large. If we look back down the technology lane, change seems to be the driver and as long as it is for the betterment of the larger society, such new advents have been lapped up by the global community. We shall be looking deep within into our AI capabilities and see how to strategically fit them in the solution build process.
