Impairment of Goodwill

Management reviews the carrying value of goodwill annually to determine whether there has been any impairment. This involves making an assessment of the value of goodwill for each cash generating unit (CGU) and comparing it to the carrying value. If the assessed value is lower than the carrying value, then an impairment charge is recognised to reduce the carrying value to this amount. Management reviews the business performance based on the geography and type of business.

Value in use i.e. the enterprise value for the CGU is calculated using cash flow projections over a period of 5 years, with amounts based on medium term strategic plans. Variations to strategic plan are incorporated in the calculations based on past experience, if available. Cash flows beyond the 5 years period are extrapolated using a long term growth rate.

Key assumptions in the business plans include future revenue, associated future levels of marketing support and other relevant costs. These assumptions are based on historical trends, if available and future market expectations specific to each CGU and the markets and geographies in which they operate.

Other key assumptions applied in determining value in use are:

Long term growth rate - Cash flows beyond the 5 years period are extrapolated using the estimated long-term growth rate applicable for the geographies in which the CGUs operate.

Discount rate - The discount rate is based on a Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) for comparable companies operating in similar markets and geographies adjusted for country specific risk affecting where each CGU operates.

Sensitivity to changes in assumptions

The directors and management have considered and assessed reasonably possible changes for key assumptions and have not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amount of the above CGUs to exceed its recoverable amount.

There are no projects as on each reporting period where activity had been suspended. Considering the nature, there are no projects as on the reporting period which has exceeded cost as compared to its original plan or where completion is overdue.

(b) Terms/rights attached to equity shares

The Company has only one class of equity shares having par value of INR 1 per share (March 31,2023 : INR 1 per share). Each holder of equity share is entitled to one vote per share.

The Company's principal financial liabilities comprise of borrowings, trade payables, lease liabilities and other payables. These financial liabilities are directly derived from its operations. The Company's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, and cash and other bank balances that it derive directly from its operations.

The Company is exposed to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. The Company's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Company's senior management ensures that the Company's financial risk activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Company's policies and risk objectives.

(A) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of default on its obligation by the counter party resulting in a financial loss. For banks and financial institutions, only independent parties with good credit rating are accepted.

The Company assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external information in accordance with policies and framework set by the management. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored by the management. The maximum exposure to the credit risk at the reporting date is primarily from trade receivables and other financial assets. Trade receivables are majorly unsecured and are derived from contracts with customers. The Company has used the expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss on trade receivables and other financial assets, and has provided it wherever appropriate.

All of the Company's other financial assets measured at amortised cost and the loss allowance recognised during the year was therefore limited to 12 months' expected losses. Management considers instruments to be low credit risk when they have a low risk of default and the issuer has a strong capacity to meet its contractual cash flow obligations in the near term (for example, investment grade credit rating with at least one major rating agency).

While cash and cash equivalents and security deposits are also subject to the impairment requirements of Ind AS 109, the identified impairment loss has been provided wherever required. With regards to cash and cash equivalents and other bank balances, the identified impairment loss is not significant and for other financial assets of the Company, the identified impairment loss has been provided, wherever required.

Processes and policies related to such risks are overseen by senior management.

(i) Financing Arrangement

The Company has access to the following undrawn borrowing facilities at the end of the reporting period:

(C) 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 prices comprises three types of risk: currency rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risks, such as equity price risk and commodity price risk. Financial instruments affected by market risks majorly includes foreign currency receivables and payables. The sensitivity of the relevant profit and loss item is the effect of the assumed changes in the respective market risks.

(i) Foreign currency risk

The company operates in many countries and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the trade receivables, trade payables and foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the component's functional currency.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended March 31,2024 and March 31,2023.

(b) Fair value hierarchy

This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value or are measured at amortised cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Company has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath.

i) Financial assets and liabilities which are measured at amortised cost

As of March 31,2024 and March 31,2023, the fair value of trade receivables, cash and cash equivalent and other bank balances, loans, borrowings, other current financial assets and liabilities, trade payables approximate their carrying amount largely due to the short term nature of these instruments.

ii) Financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value

This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value or are measured at amortized cost and for which fair values are disclosed in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standard. An explanation of each level follows underneath.

Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example foreign exchange forward contracts) 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 transfer of levels during the year.

For other financial assets and liabilities that are measured at amortised cost, the carrying amounts approximate the fair value.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

For investments in quoted equity instruments- the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments. For investments in equity shares which are unquoted, valuation has been arrived using the earnings capitalisation method. For derivatives (foreign currency forwards) - the present value of future cash flows based on the forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

IX The average duration of the defined benefit plan obligation at the end of the March 31,2024 is 19 years (March 31,2023: 20 years).

X The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation are after taking into account inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market. The above information is as certified by the Actuary.

XI The sensitivity analyses above have been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on defined benefit obligation as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of each reporting period.

XII The above sensitivity analyses 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 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.

36 Segment information
