Notes:

1. Additions to Intangible Assets under development includes capitalization of employee benefit expense and other eligible expenses (Refer Note No. 22 and Note No. 24).

2. Management has carried out an impairment evaluation of its intangible assets under development as at March 31, 2023 and concluded that no impairment is considered necessary as the recoverable amounts of the individual cash generating units (CGUs) are higher than their respective carrying amounts. The recoverable amounts of the individual CGUs were determined using the value-in-use method. Key assumptions used in the value-in-use method include revenue growth projections and discount rate. A decrease in projected revenue across individual CGUs by 35% to 60% (March 31, 2022: by 6% to 16%) would result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying amount. No reasonable possible change in the discount rate is likely to result in the recoverable amount of the CGUs being equal to their carrying amount.

3. As at March 31, 2023, the net carrying amount of product development is ' 88.89 (March 31, 2022 - ' 79.50). The Company estimates the useful life of product development to be 2 years based on the expected technical obsolescence of such assets. However, the actual useful life may be shorter or longer than 2 years, depending on technical innovations and competitor actions. If it were only 1 year, the carrying amount would be ' 53.02 as at March 31, 2023 (' 48.17 as at March 31, 2022). If the useful life were estimated to be 3 years, the carrying amount would be ' 121.74 as at March 31, 2023 (' 102.04 as at March 31, 2022).

(a) Intangible assets under development ageing schedule

Pursuant to a definitive agreement entered into by the Company with Saankhya Labs Private Limited (Saankhya Labs) and its shareholders on March 30, 2022, the Company acquired majority stake in Saankhya Labs Private Limited on July 1, 2022. The Company between July 01, 2022 to August 19, 2022 acquired 64.40% of equity shares in aggregate through secondary purchase at a price of ' 454.19 per equity share aggregating to ' 283.94 crore.

Preference shares are redeemable only at the option of Tejas Communication Pte. Ltd and carry a cumulative right of dividend at a fixed rate 0.01% ($0.0001 per share). This investment has been treated as investment in an equity instrument.

3Management has carried out an impairment evaluation of its investment in its subsidiaries as at March 31, 2023 and concluded that no impairment is considered necessary. Where the company has used value in use method for its assessment, key assumptions used include revenue growth projections and discount rate. A decrease in projected revenue by 5.3% would result in the recoverable amount being equal to the carrying amount. No reasonable possible change in the discount rate is likely to result in the recoverable amount being equal to their carrying amount.

* 3,27,27,930 partly paid equity shares issued by the Company to the Tejas Employees Welfare Trust (TEWT) on July 11, 2010, were forfeited on July 25, 2016.

The Company on September 7, 2021 received a total amount aggregating to ' 837.50, which includes exercise price on subscription shares amounting to ' 500.00 and 25% of the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants amounting to ' 237.50 and ' 100.00 respectively.

On February 6, 2023, the Company allotted 1,55,03,876 equity shares upon exercise of warrants.

Nature and purpose of other reserves

(a) Securities premium

Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The premium can only be utilized in accordance with the provisions of the Act.

(b) Employee stock compensation outstanding account

The Employee stock compensation outstanding account is used to recognize the grant date fair value of options and RSUs issued to employees under the Company’s share based payment schemes over the vesting period.

The above sensitivity analysis are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may not be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the balance sheet.

c) Risk Exposure

1. Interest rates risk : The defined benefit obligation is calculated using a discount rate based on government bonds. If bond yields fall, the defined benefit obligation will tend to increase although this will be partially offset by an increase in value of the plan assets.

2. Salary inflation risk: Higher than expected increases in salary will increase the defined benefit obligation.

3. Demographic risks: This is the risk in volatility of results due to unexpected nature of decrements that include mortality, attrition, disability and retirement. The effects of these decrement on the DBO depends upon the combination of salary increase, discount rate, and vesting criteria and therefore not very straight forward. It is important not to overstate withdrawal rate because the cost of retirement benefit of a short service employees will be less compared to long service employees.

4. Asset Liability Mismatch: This will come into play unless the funds are invested with the term of the assets replicating the term of the liability.

Defined benefit liability and employer contributions

Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans

(Gratuity) for the year ending March 31, 2024 are ' 4.76.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 14.04 years (March 31, 2022: 12.24 years). The expected maturity analysis of undiscounted gratuity is as follows:

(ii) Fair value hierarchy

Level 1: Includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes mutual funds that have quoted price. The mutual funds are valued using the closing NAV

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, traded bonds, over-the counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

There are no transfers between levels during the year.

The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.

(iii) Valuation Technique

- The fair values of security deposits were calculated based on cash flows discounted using a current lending rate. They are classified as level 3 fair values in the fair value hierarchy due to the inclusion of unobservable inputs including counterparty credit risk.

- Investment in mutual funds are valued using closing NAV of the fund.

- Foreign currency forwards are valued based on the forward exchange rates provided by the bank as at the balance sheet date.

(iv) Valuation Process

The finance department of the Company includes a team that performs the valuations of financial assets and liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. The significant level 3 inputs for determining the fair values are discount

rates using a long term bank deposit rate to calculate a risk free rate (pre-tax) that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and adjusted for counter-party risk and risks specific to the asset.

(v) Fair value of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost

- The fair values of security deposits and non-current trade receivables approximates their carrying amounts.

- The carrying amounts of trade receivables (current), trade payables, capital creditors, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets are considered to be the same as their fair values, due to their shortterm nature.

- For financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, the carrying amounts are equal to the fair values.

Note No. 27: Financial risk management

The Company’s business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, namely credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company’s senior management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework.

A. Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counterparty resulting in a financial loss. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables. Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in various countries. Credit risk is managed by the Company through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the credit worthiness of customers to which the Company grants credit terms in the normal course of business.

The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumption and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculations, based on the Company’s past history and existing market conditions as well as forward- looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk in respect of cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions and investment in mutual funds. As a policy, the Company places its cash and cash equivalents and deposits with well established banks and financial institutions.

Management has evaluated and determined expected credit loss for cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks, inter-corporate deposits places with financial institutions, security deposits and other financial assets to be immaterial.

B. Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations associated with its financial liabilities. The Company’s principal source of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, cash flows that are generated from the operations and the undrawn borrowing facilities. A material and sustained shortfall in cash flows could undermine the Company’s credit rating and impair investor confidence. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity position (comprising the undrawn borrowing facilities below) and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of expected cash flows.

(iv) The Company has from time to time in the normal course of business entered into factoring agreements with bankers for some of the trade receivables on a non-recourse basis. As at March 31, 2023 the trade receivable does not include receivables amounting to ' 2.59 (March 31, 2022: ' 24.60) which have been derecognised in accordance with Ind AS 109 - Financial Instruments, pursuant to such factoring agreements (Refer Note No. 6).

C. Market Risk

(a) Foreign currency risk exposure

The Company operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk through its sales and services in foreign countries, and purchases from overseas suppliers in foreign currencies. To mitigate the risk of changes in exchange rates on foreign currency exposures, the company has a partial natural hedge between export receivables and import payables. Further, during the current year, the Company has entered into forward exchange contracts on export receivables to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency rates. The results of the Company’s operations are subject to the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the purpose of capital management, the Company considers the following components of its Balance Sheet as capital:

Issued equity capital, securities premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the company.

The Company aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimize the growth opportunities and return to the shareholders. The capital structure of the company is based on management’s judgment of the appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. The company consider the amount of capital in proportion to risk and manage the capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares.

The Company foresees issue of fresh capital pursuant to exercise of vested employee stock options. Apart from the outstanding ESOPs, the Board of Directors have also approved certain Restricted Stock

Units (RSUs), which may be converted into share capital in the future periods.

The Company’s policy is to maintain a stable and strong capital structure with a focus on total equity so as to maintain investor, creditors and market confidence and to sustain future development and growth of its business. The Company will take appropriate steps in order to maintain, or if necessary adjust, its capital structure.

* These cases are pending at various forums with the concerned authorities. Outflows if any, arising out of these claims would depend on the outcome of the decision of the appellate authorities and the Company’s right for future appeals before judiciary. No reimbursements are expected.

Further, an additional penalty on certain officers of the Company amounting to ' 0.90 crore was raised.
