Operational highlights and financial overview

Over the course of the financial year 2025-26, the technology landscape continued to evolve rapidly, shaped by heightened macroeconomic uncertainty, shifting investment priorities, and accelerated advancement in ai. Enterprises responded by sharpening their focus on transformation programs that deliver measurable outcomes while prioritizing resilience, cost efficiency, and modernisation of core technology estates.

A significant shift has emerged in how organisations approach ai. What was earlier confined to experimentation has now translated into enterprise-wide adoption, with ai becoming embedded across business processes, platforms, and customer experiences. The emergence of agentic ai and next-generation models is beginning to influence enterprise roadmaps, with organisations adopting a pragmatic approach that balances selective ai investments with the continued need to modernise legacy environments.

In this environment, the company has deepened its role as a strategic partner by anchoring its approach around execution certainty and outcome-led delivery. Our "ai delivered right" strategy reflects our ability to support clients in simultaneously modernising existing systems and building new ai-native capabilities, leveraging deep engineering expertise and platform-led innovation. This requires not only advanced ai capabilities, but also a strong understanding of existing technology landscapes of our clients and the ability to bridge legacy and emerging architectures.

Our efforts are reflected in growing deal momentum, including large, multi-year transformation engagements focused on ai-led efficiency, digital resilience, and modernisation. Increasing engagement with client partners, along with industry-highest nps scores, further underscores the company's transition toward being a long-term, strategic transformation partner.

With a dear focus on scaling ai-led capabilities, deepening client relationships, and driving measurable business outcomes, the company is well positioned to support enterprises in navigating this phase of technology-led reinvention and sustained value creation.
