Reasons for Loss in the period ended on March 31,2024

Industry Slowdown and Client Onboarding Challenges: The IT and professional services industry experienced a global slowdown in the first half of FY 2023-24.

This included hiring key employees like Mr. Siva Prasad Nanduri as our CEO. Additionally, we underwent significant changes such as expanding our office space and transitioning to a stronger in-house team starting from June, albeit at increased costs.

Increased Overheads and Future Investment Strategy: As a result of the aforementioned changes, our Selling, General & Administrative overheads (SGA) significantly rose, impacting our bottom line. Despite this, the company views these expenses as necessary investments that will yield benefits in the upcoming financial years, beginning FY 24-25.

The impressive revenue increase highlights the effectiveness of our business strategies, the quality of our offerings, and the strength of our user relationships.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to sustaining this positive momentum and driving continued growth in our professional services & Corporate Training Business segment.
