Risk factors
Specific attention of the Bidders is invited to the section “Risk Factors” on page 36 to have an informed view
before making an investment decision. Set forth below are the top 10 risk factors:
S. No. Risk Factor
1. Security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses and hacking activities may cause material adverse effects on
our business, financial performance and results of operations and expose us to liability, which could adversely
affect our business and our reputation.
2. Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and expand relationships with our clients. We derived 53.8%
of our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment from our top-10 clients, of which one client contributed
9.8% of our revenue, in Fiscal 2025. We also derived 80.8% of our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai
segment from our existing “Must Win Clients” (“MWC”) in Fiscal 2025. If we cannot maintain and expand our
relationships with our existing client base or add new clients, our business, financial condition, cash flows and
results of operations may be adversely affected.
22S. No. Risk Factor
3. Our focus industry verticals - consumer packaged goods and retail (“CPGR”), technology, media and telecom
(“TMT”), healthcare and life sciences (“HLS”), and banking, financial services and insurance (“BFSI”)
contributed 39.3%, 29.9%, 13.8%, and 11.0%, respectively in Fiscal 2025 to our revenue from operations in the
Fractal.ai segment. Any decrease in demand for AI solutions in these industries could adversely affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
4. We derived 65.2% of our revenue from operations from the United States of America for Fiscal 2025. Our global
operations involve challenges and risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect our results of
operations and require increased time and attention from our management.
5. Our business depends on the quality and successful implementation of our AI solutions. Delays or failure in
meeting contractual timelines or the expectation of our clients may result in cost overrun, loss of business and
disputes which in turn could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
6. Our success depends on our ability to adapt to changes in client or market preferences and to adopt new
technologies. Our failure to do so could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
7. The development and use of AI, including Gen AI, requires us to retain skilled talent. If we fail to attract, retain,
train and optimally utilise these professionals, or if there is an increase in employee costs, our business may be
unable to grow and our results of operations and profitability could decline.
8. Internal or external fraud or misconduct by our employees or consultants could adversely affect our reputation
and our results of operations.
9. Our business is subject to evolving laws regarding AI, privacy, data protection and other related matters. Many
of these laws are subject to change and could result in claims, changes to our business practices, monetary
penalties, increased cost of operations, which may harm our business.
10. We had losses before exceptional items and tax expense in Fiscals 2024 and 2023. There is no assurance that
we will not incur losses in the future as we expand our operations.

There are differences between the Ind AS, the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and the
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Accordingly, the
degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful
information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting policies and practices,
the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with accounting
standards in India, the Ind AS, the Companies Act, 2013 and the SEBI ICDR Regulations, on the financial
disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. We have not attempted
to quantify the differences between the financial data (prepared under Ind AS) and IFRS/U.S. GAAP, nor have
we provided a reconciliation thereof. We urge the Bidders to consult their respective advisors regarding such
differences and their impact on our financial data. For risks relating to significant differences between Ind AS
and other accounting principles, see “Risk Factors- Differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting
28principles, such as IFRS and U.S. GAAP, which may be material to investors’ assessments of our financial
condition, result of operations and cash flows” on page 71.

and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 36,
267 and 463, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated based on the
Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
Certain figures contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including financial information, have been subject
to rounding adjustments. All shareholding percentage figures and earnings per share have been rounded off to
two decimal places and other percentage figures have been rounded off to one decimal place. In certain instances,
(i) the sum or percentage change of such numbers may not conform exactly to the total figure given; and (ii) the
sum of the numbers in a column or row in certain tables may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that
column or row. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources are
rounded off to other than two decimal places in their respective sources, such figures appear in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus as rounded-off to such number of decimal places as provided in such respective sources.

or liquidity under Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an
alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years or any other measure of financial performance or as an

of our business and financial performance. These Non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed on the

or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation. None of our Company, the Selling
Shareholders and the Book Running Lead Managers have authorised, nor do they authorize, the making of any
offer of Equity Shares through any financial intermediary, other than the offers made by the Book Running Lead
Managers which constitute the final placement of Equity Shares contemplated in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer to the public” in relation to the Equity Shares in any
Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of
the Offer and any Equity Shares to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for
any Equity Shares.

This Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that all offers to the public of Equity Shares
will be made pursuant to an exemption under the UK Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to produce a
prospectus for offers of Equity Shares. The expression “UK Prospectus Regulation” means Prospectus
Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal)
Act 2018 (“EUWA”). Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer to the public within the

AVAILABLE INFORMATION
Our Company is not currently required to file periodic reports under Section 13 or 15 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange Act”). In order to permit compliance with Rule 144A under the
U.S. Securities Act in connection with the resales of the Equity Shares, we agree to furnish upon the request of a
shareholder or a prospective purchaser the information required to be delivered under Rule 144A(d)(4) of the
U.S. Securities Act if at the time of such request we are not a reporting company under Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the U.S. Exchange Act, or are not exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder.
33FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding our
expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are forward-looking
statements, which may include statements with respect to our business strategy, our expected revenue and
profitability, our goals (including, without limitation, any operating projections or forecasts) and other matters as
may have been discussed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus regarding matters that are not historical facts.
These forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words or phrases such as “achieve”, “aim”,
“anticipate”, “believe”, “can”, “continue”, “could”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “may”,
“objective”, “plan”, “propose”, “project”, “will continue”, “seek to”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of
similar import. Similarly, statements which describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-
looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations and actual results
may differ materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements
are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. This could be due to risks or uncertainties
associated with our expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes in the industry we operate
in and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion,
technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India that may
have an impact on our business or investments, monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation,
unanticipated turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates and prices, the
general performance of Indian and global financial markets, changes in domestic laws, changes in the competitive
landscape and incidence of any natural calamities and/or violence.
Significant factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are
not limited to, the following:
• Security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses and hacking activities may cause material adverse
effects on our business, financial performance and results of operations and expose us to liability, which
could adversely affect our business and our reputation.
• Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and expand relationships with our clients. We derived
53.8% of our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment from our top-10 clients, of which one
client contributed 9.8% of our revenue, in Fiscal 2025. We also derived 80.8% of our revenue from
operations in our Fractal.ai segment from our existing “Must Win Clients” (“MWC”) in Fiscal 2025. If
we cannot maintain and expand our relationships with our existing client base or add new clients, our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected.
• Our focus industry verticals - consumer packaged goods and retail (“CPGR”), technology, media and
telecom (“TMT”), healthcare and life sciences (“HLS”), and banking, financial services and insurance
(“BFSI”) contributed 39.3%, 29.9%, 13.8%, and 11.0%, respectively in Fiscal 2025 to our revenue from
operations in the Fractal.ai segment. Any decrease in demand for AI solutions in these industries could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
• We derived 65.2% of our revenue from operations from the United States of America for Fiscal 2025.
Our global operations involve challenges and risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect our
results of operations and require increased time and attention from our management.
• Our business depends on the quality and successful implementation of our AI solutions and AI products.
Delays or failure in meeting contractual timelines or the expectation of our clients may result in cost
overrun, loss of business and disputes which in turn could adversely impact our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
For a further discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see “Risk Factors”, “Our Business”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 36,
267 and 463, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be
materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could
materially differ from those that have been estimated. Forward-looking statements reflect our current views as on
the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future performance. We cannot assure
investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct.
34These statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently
available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are
based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate and the forward-looking statements
based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future
performance.
Neither our Company, our Promoters, the Selling Shareholders, our Directors, our Key Managerial Personnel, the
Syndicate nor any of their respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements
reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the
underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with requirements of SEBI and as prescribed under applicable law, our Company will ensure that
investors in India are informed of material developments pertaining to our Company and the Equity Shares
forming part of the Offer from the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus until the date of Allotment. In
accordance with the requirements of SEBI and as prescribed under the applicable law, our Selling Shareholders,
in respect of statements made by them in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, shall ensure (through our Company
and the Book Running Lead Managers) that the investors are informed of material developments in relation to
their respective statements specifically confirmed or undertaken by them in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus,
the Red Herring Prospectus and the Prospectus until the date of Allotment, with respect to themselves and their
Offered Shares.
35SECTION II - RISK FACTORS
An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. Investors should carefully consider all the
information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before
making an investment in the Equity Shares. The risks described below are those that we consider to be most
significant to our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition as of the date of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus. The risks set out in this section may not be exhaustive and are not the only ones relevant
to us or the Equity Shareholders, additional risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that we currently
do not deem material may also adversely affect us. If any or a combination of the following risks or other risks
that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial actually occur, our business, prospects, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows could suffer, the trading price and the value of your investment in
our Equity Shares could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. Furthermore, some events may
be material collectively rather than individually. In order to obtain a complete understanding of our business,
prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with “Industry Overview”, “Our Business”, “Key
Regulations and Policies”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” and “Restated Consolidated Financial Information” on pages 211, 267, 310, 463 and 375,
respectively, in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Unless the context otherwise indicates, all references to the
terms “we”, “us” and “our” are to our Company, our Subsidiaries and Associate on a consolidated basis.
In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of us and our business
and the terms of the Offer including the merits and risks involved. Potential investors should consult their tax,
financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences of investing in the Offer. Unless specified or
quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are unable to quantify the financial or other impact of any of the
risks described in this section. Prospective investors should pay particular attention to the fact that we are
incorporated under the laws of India and are subject to a legal and regulatory environment which may differ in
certain respects from that of other countries. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus also contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements because of certain factors, including but not limited
to the considerations described below. For details, see “Forward-Looking Statements” on page 34.
Only to the extent explicitly indicated, industry and market data used in this section has been derived from the
report titled ‘ Data, Analytics, and AI (DAAI) Market Overview’ dated August 2025, prepared and issued by
Everest Business Advisory India Private Limited (the “Everest Report”), commissioned by and paid for by our
Company. The Everest Report has been prepared and issued by Everest for the purpose of understanding the
industry exclusively in connection with the Offer. Unless otherwise indicated, all financial, operational, industry
and other related information derived from the Everest Report and included herein with respect to any particular
fiscal or calendar year, refers to such information for the relevant year. The Everest Report will be available on
the website of our Company at https://fractal.ai/investors-relations from the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus until the Bid/Offer Closing Date and has also been included in “Material Contracts and Documents
for Inspection Material Documents” on page 583. The data included in this section includes excerpts from the
Everest Report and may have been re-ordered by us for the purposes of presentation. For more information, see
“Risk Factors - Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus contain information from the Everest
Report which has been commissioned and paid for by us and any reliance on such information for making an
investment decision in this offering is subject to inherent risks” on page 65.
Internal Risk Factors
1. Security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses and hacking activities may cause material adverse
effects on our business, financial performance and results of operations and expose us to liability,
which could adversely affect our business and our reputation.
Security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, hacking activities and other cybersecurity incidents that affect
our systems and the systems of our clients, vendors and third parties whom we rely on for cloud storage and
processing of our data, may cause material adverse effects on our business, financial performance and results of
operations and may expose us to loss of clients or business, litigation and possible liability. Data-related concerns,
such as data privacy concerns, data security threats, lack of data quality, and data silos within enterprises, remain
the biggest challenges that enterprises face when adopting data, analytics and AI (“DAAI”) (source: Everest
Report). In Everest Group’s Gen AI CIO survey, 55% of enterprise leaders surveyed emphasized data security
and privacy concerns associated with generative AI (“Gen AI”) (source: Everest Report).
36We face numerous evolving cybersecurity risks, including from diverse threat actors as well as through diverse
attack vectors such as malware (including ransomware), malfeasance by insiders, human or technological error,
and as a result of hacking, computer viruses/“bugs”, misconfigurations, social engineering/phishing attacks and
other vulnerabilities that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our systems and confidential or
sensitive information and could result in interruptions in access to our website, and other material adverse effects
on our operations. In addition, the continued prevalence of hybrid and remote working may result in greater
privacy, IT security and fraud vulnerabilities. As techniques and tools used to breach or compromise security –
including AI – change or evolve frequently, we may not be able to implement new security measures in a timely
manner or effectively defend our system against such attacks. Our reputation and brand names could be materially
damaged and the use of our AI solutions may decrease if any such attack is publicized. We have not experienced
any cyber-attacks in the last three Fiscals which materially affected our operations, although we have experienced
several isolated phishing incidents over the years. In June 2020, we were subject to a ransomware attack. While
none of our or our clients’ data was infiltrated and there was no data leakage, some of our systems were
unavailable for a short period of time. Despite our informing all clients shortly after the incident, a client
terminated their contract with us and a potential client decided not to go ahead with an engagement with us. While
this incident has been remediated and there was no material operational or financial impact on us pursuant to the
ransomware attack, similar attempts to gain access to our systems or facilities or to fraudulently induce our
employees, clients or others into disclosing sensitive information may enable access to our or our clients’ data or
other confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information. This in turn could have a material adverse impact on our
reputation, business and results of operations, and potentially expose us to claims from our clients or others.
Although we monitor our systems against any unauthorised access to confidential information, there is no
guarantee that our monitoring efforts will remain effective, and our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to
compensate for all liabilities we incur. Any incidents may result in loss of, or increased costs of our cybersecurity
insurance for cybersecurity incidents. There is no assurance that our existing insurance coverage will continue to
be available on acceptable terms, will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims related
to a security incident or breach or that the insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim or that applicable
insurance will be available to us at all. Please see also “– We rely primarily on third-party insurance policies to
insure our operations-related risks. If our insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs of our business or our
insurance providers are unable to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our
business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations” on page 62. If
our insurance coverage is not sufficient, we are likely to incur costs to compensate for such liabilities, which may
materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
2. Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and expand relationships with our clients. We
derived 53.8% of our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment from our top-10 clients, of
which one client contributed 9.8% of our revenue, in Fiscal 2025. We also derived 80.8% of our
revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment from our existing “Must Win Clients” (“MWC”)
in Fiscal 2025. If we cannot maintain and expand our relationships with our existing client base or
add new clients, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and expand relationships with clients, including our focus
client base of MWC, which we define as enterprises that meet one of three criteria: (a) over US$10 billion in
annual revenue, (b) over US$20 billion in market capitalization, or (c) over 30 million end-users, consumers, or
customers. In Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, substantially all of our revenue from operations came from our
Fractal.ai segment. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations – Principal Components of Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss – Revenue from
operations” on page 468. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment
from our Top 10 clients, Top 20 clients and existing MWCs, as shown in the table below:

Fractal.ai segment
We may not successfully acquire and expand new clients, retain existing clients or expand existing client
relationships, and in particular with “MWCs”, on time, on commercially favourable terms, or at all. While we
have not had material instances of client attrition, other than in the ordinary course of business, there is no
assurance that our existing clients will renew their arrangements with us at the end of the respective contract
periods. Further, the growth of our business is linked to our existing or prospective clients’ budgets and their
strategic decisions to engage third parties for AI and technology services rather than conduct such operations in-
house. These decisions are affected by many factors that are outside our control, such as changes in general
macroeconomic conditions and our clients’ business operations, outlook, and results and business needs.
Furthermore, text, voice, and video data inferenced and/or generated by Gen AI models requires large
unstructured training data and significant engineering effort to serve users at low latency and scale, and many
enterprises have legacy systems that are not easily compatible with modern AI solutions, and integrating AI with
these existing systems can be challenging, requiring significant time and resources to ensure seamless operations,
which can hinder enterprise adoption of DAAI services (source: Everest Report). Limited organizational
readiness and cultural issues act as deterrents to the success of analytics and AI implementations within enterprises
(source: Everest Report). A failure to maintain relationships or successfully expand our client relationships could
adversely affect our business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
Specifically, our agreements with our top 10 clients have a term of two to nine years, with options for renewal.
Under these contracts, we provide various services to our clients including software development services, design
services and work products as per the specific requirements of our clients for a fixed term based on the short-term
and long-term statements of work. These agreements may be terminated by either party, subject to specified notice
periods, for various reasons such as breach of material covenants or failure to cure such breach within period
specified in such agreements, breach of anti-corruption and anti-bribery clauses, or prohibition of performance of
agreements by law, amongst others. If the financial condition of any of our top clients were to deteriorate or if
they decide to discontinue their AI or development initiatives, or move their AI or development initiatives in-
house, and as a result, any or all of these clients were to terminate or reduce their business with us, our revenues
would be significantly affected. While all of our top 10 clients in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025 remain our clients
as of March 31, 2025, some of them have changed their engagements with us in the ordinary course of business,
for reasons such as completion of an engagement, change in business needs, internal restructuring or development
of in-house AI capabilities. For example, one of our top 10 clients in the BFSI industry re-evaluated their essential
and non-essential spend as part of an internal restructuring. As a result, while they remain one of our key clients,
they have reduced their spend with us. There is no assurance that we would be able to retain, renew or replace
our client engagements on favorable terms, or at all, which could cause our business, cash flows, results of
operations and financial condition to be adversely affected.
Further, our reliance on a limited number of clients may give them a degree of pricing leverage over us. Although
we have not faced material instances of unfavorable price negotiations, we have, in the ordinary course of
business, provided discounts and other commercial incentives such as bundled services or value-added services,
to maintain and grow client relationships, and continued pricing pressure could adversely impact our financial
condition and results of operations.
383. Our focus industries - consumer packaged goods and retail (“CPGR”), technology, media and telecom
(“TMT”), healthcare and life sciences (“HLS”), and banking, financial services and insurance
(“BFSI”) contributed 39.3%, 29.9%, 13.8%, and 11.0%, respectively in Fiscal 2025 to our revenue
from operations in the Fractal.ai segment. Any decrease in demand for AI solutions in these industries
could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our domain expertise spans our focus industries of CPGR, TMT, HLS and BFSI. The following tables provide a
breakdown of our revenue from operations by industries serviced in the Fractal.ai segment for the years indicated:

Note:
(1) Others comprises largely energy, travel and industrials.
Our growth depends on continued demand for our AI solutions from clients across industries. A downturn or
slowdown in any of our targeted industries or the introduction of regulations that restrict companies from third-
party spending on AI solutions could result in a decrease in the demand for our AI solutions. New regulations
could increase our expenses and, in some instances, limit our ability to provide our AI solutions to our clients.
With increasing AI adoption, countries worldwide are introducing AI-related regulations and frameworks, and
this trend is particularly relevant for Gen AI, as its ability to create new content heightens concerns about potential
misuse (Source: Everest Report). Other developments in these industries may also lead to a decline in the demand
for our AI solutions across industries, and we may not be able to successfully increase demand in other industries.
For example, the adoption of Gen AI and Gen AI-powered software development agents by various industries
could lead to changes in our clients’ operations. By adopting Gen AI and Gen AI-powered software development
agents, our clients may develop in-house capabilities which could potentially impact the extent to which clients
rely on us for our AI solutions and reduce their need for our services. Gen AI infusion is significantly enhancing
productivity across IT services by automating complex processes through low-code and conversation-enabled
SaaS tools, which can result in revenue erosion for third-party providers (Source: Everest Report). Consolidation
or acquisitions in any of these industries may also decrease the potential number of buyers of our AI solutions.
4. We derived 65.2% of our revenue from operations from the United States of America for Fiscal 2025.
Our global operations involve challenges and risks that could increase our expenses, adversely affect
our results of operations and require increased time and attention from our management.
We conduct our business across multiple geographies through our global subsidiaries. The table below provides

39Our global operations subject us to risks inherent to doing business in such geographies. Some of the risks include:
changes in the legal and regulatory environment, such as changes to the data protection and privacy protection
requirements, or in relation to taxation laws or laws relating to repatriation of our revenues or profits from foreign
jurisdictions to India; requirements of new licenses/ approvals from local regulatory authorities; higher costs
associated with doing business in multiple markets; risks related to the political, social or economic environment,
including imposition of international sanctions on one or more of the countries in which we operate; risks related
to competition from companies that may have more experience with AI operations in international markets, with
access to a larger talent pool, advanced research and development engagements, better client relationships and
brand value compared to us; difficulties in managing global operations including legal compliance costs
associated with multiple international locations; risks related to the enforcement of contracts governed by foreign
laws; and exposure to local banking, currency control and other financial-related risks. These factors could impede
the success of our international operations or expansion plans and limit our ability to compete effectively or
operate efficiently in other countries. For example, the recent imposition of tariffs by the US government has
prompted, and may prompt further counter-tariffs from other countries which could increase costs for entities in
the US and in other countries, disrupt supply chains, and adversely affect our revenue and profit margins. For
further details, see “—External Risk Factors— We are subject to macroeconomic risks, including financial
instability globally, which may cause increased volatility, including in India” beginning on page 68. Our failure
to manage our global operations successfully could adversely affect our profitable growth or make it difficult for
us to sustain operations in such foreign markets.
5. Our business depends on the quality and successful implementation of our AI solutions. Delays or
failure in meeting contractual timelines or the expectation of our clients may result in cost overrun,
loss of business and disputes which in turn could adversely impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
Our AI solutions are deployed in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, system
management software, and equipment and networking configurations, which may cause errors, failures or
glitches. While we have experienced such defects, errors and delays in the past, and we typically remedy such
defects, errors or delays at our cost, such incidents did not materially impact our operations. Further, we may be
required to indemnify our clients for losses incurred by them from defects and delays in our engagement
implementation timelines. Delays in engagement implementations could also result in cost overruns for us which
may require us to discontinue client engagements. Further, failures in meeting contractual timelines or the
expectation of our clients (whether or not as a result of our actions) may result in clients seeking recourse against
us under our contracts, client dissatisfaction, loss of client, disputes or reputational harm that could materially
impact our business. Any changes in the original scope of work contemplated by us in any client engagement due
to reasons outside of our control could result in delays in implementation timelines or cost overruns or both. For
further details, see also “- Our pricing structures may not accurately anticipate the cost, complexity and duration
of our work, which could consequently impact our profitability” on page 46. For example, in Fiscal 2024, we built
an AI solution for a CPG client which was not as efficient in terms of compute consumption as our client had
expected, and as a result we had to rectify the code at our cost (mostly being personnel cost), which we did not
bill to the client. While this did not have a material impact on our operations, such events could adversely impact
our business, and may also divert our management’s attention and resources, which in turn may adversely affect
our results of operations.
6. Our success depends on our ability to adapt to changes in client or market preferences and to adopt
new technologies. Our failure to do so could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our industry is subject to rapid changes in technology, client requirements, competitive products, and industry
standards. Our success depends on our ability to adapt to the latest technologies and offer advanced AI solutions
to our clients, including without limitation, our ability to:
• timely identify industry changes, adapt our strategies, and develop new or enhance and maintain existing
products and technologies that meet the evolving needs of these markets, including due to unexpected
changes in industry standards or disruptive technological innovation that could render our products
incompatible with products developed by other companies;
• develop or acquire new products and technologies through investments in research and development;
• launch new AI solutions;
• expand the ecosystem for our products and technologies;
40• meet evolving and prevailing client and industry safety, security and reliability expectations, and
compliance standards;
• manage product and software lifecycles to maintain client and end-user satisfaction; and
• develop, acquire, maintain, and secure access to the internal and external infrastructure needed to scale
our business, and for acquisition integrations, client support, e-commerce, IP licensing capabilities and
cloud service capacity.
To this end, we invest in research and development to meet our clients’ rapidly evolving current and future needs.
The table below sets out our research and development investments for the years indicated:
(₹ in millions, except percentages)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Research and development investments(1) 1,436 1,422 1,158
As a % of revenue from operations (%) 5.2% 6.5% 5.8%
Note:
(1) Research and development investments comprises operating expenditure and capital expenditure relating to research and development
respectively.
If we fail to develop or monetize new products and technologies, or if they do not become widely adopted by our
clients, our financial results could be adversely affected. Developing new solutions involves a lengthy process
and depends on our ability to anticipate and provide features and functionality that clients will demand. Further,
there is no assurance that the solutions we launch will be successful and that we will be able to realize any return
on our investments. In addition, owing to the rapid technical evolution in AI we cannot be sure that our AI
solutions would always be in demand by our clients. If we are unable to anticipate technological developments,
enhance our existing AI solutions or develop and introduce new AI solutions to keep pace with evolving technical
advancements, and changing client needs, we may not be able to differentiate our AI solutions from our
competitors and we may lose our clients. The rapid pace of innovation, particularly in Gen AI methods,
techniques, and models, is shortening the shelf life of tools and frameworks and as a result, enterprises struggle
to keep up with frequent advancements and face challenges in selecting solutions that remain effective and
competitive over time (Source: Everest Report). For example, we invested in Eugenie in 2017, a product focused
on “internet of things” technology which aimed to improve reliability of machines through AI monitoring and
reduced downtime. Similarly, we invested in Zerogons in 2021, a “low-code / no-code” AI engineering platform
which aimed to streamline software development processes. However, as the technology moved too quickly in
the respective fields for these investments, we were unable to obtain the expected results and had to provide
for/write off our investments. While these did not have a material adverse effect on our business and financial
condition, there can be no assurance that we will continue to keep launching new AI solutions, or successfully
commercialize our AI solutions and AI products, and we may not be able to recoup the investment we have made,
which would in turn negatively affect our profitability and results of operations.
7. The development and use of AI, including Gen AI, requires us to retain skilled talent. If we fail to
attract, retain, train and optimally utilize these professionals, or if there is an increase in employee
costs, our business may be unable to grow and our results of operations and profitability could decline.
Our success depends on our ability to attract, develop, motivate, retain and effectively utilize highly skilled
employees, including those specializing in AI and Gen AI. It also depends on our ability to retain the continued
services of our Key Managerial Personnel and members of our Senior Management, and in particular two of our
Promoters and co-founders, Srikanth Velamakanni and Pranay Agrawal, who have been leading the business for
over 25 years since our inception and have been instrumental in our AI vision and thought leadership. Please also
see “Our Business – Our Strengths – Experienced founders-led management team focused on building Fractal
for the long term” on page 278. If we are unable to retain the services of two of our Promoters and co-founders,
Key Managerial Personnel, members of our Senior Management, or skilled employees, including as a result of
attrition, illness, death, or otherwise, our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition may
be materially and adversely affected.
While the majority of our workforce are employees, we also engage third party agencies and personnel who offer
corporate function support or provide specialist roles for limited period engagements and manage volatile demand
scenarios.
41Set forth below are the number of full-time employees and outsourced employees, as well as our employee
benefits expense, employee stock option expense and outsourced manpower expense for the years indicated,
which are also expressed as a percentage of revenue from operations.
(₹ in million, unless otherwise stated)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Total number of employees as of the end of year (Number) 5,254 4,639 4,221
Total number of outsourced manpower (Number) 154 138 109
Employee attrition rate (%) (1) 16.3% 15.8% 23.7%
Employee benefits expense 20,048 17,370 16,085
Employee benefits expense as % of revenue from 72.5% 79.1% 81.0%
operations (%)
Employee stock option expense 798 963 1,587
Employee stock option expense as % of revenue from 2.9% 4.4% 8.0%
operations (%)
Outsourced manpower expense 576 600 598
Outsourced manpower expense as % of revenue from 2.1% 2.7% 3.0%
operations (%)
Note:
(1) Employee attrition rate (including our Key Managerial Personnel and members of our Senior Management) is calculated by dividing
the total number of employees who have left the company voluntarily in the trailing twelve months immediately prior to the ending date
of the reporting year divided by the average of the opening and closing headcount of such year.
Although our employee benefits expense has been increasing year-on-year, our employee benefits expense as a
percentage of our revenue from operations has decreased to 72.5% in Fiscal 2025, from 79.1% in Fiscal 2024 and
81.0% in Fiscal 2023. Our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent and
therefore we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract or retain engineers or other skilled employees. Rapid
changes in AI technologies have created challenges in acquiring and retaining the right talent, limiting the
effective deployment and management of AI systems, and inability to meet this demand and develop internal
resources can pose a threat to our business (source: Everest Report). Enterprises have been struggling to keep up
with the demand for niche and advanced skills (source: Everest Report). Rapid changes in AI technologies have
further compounded the challenges for enterprises to acquire and retain the right talent and scale their initiatives,
limiting the effective deployment and management of AI systems (source: Everest Report). Gen AI has further
impacted this with the rise of new roles, such as Gen AI engineers, architects, and prompt engineers (source:
Everest Report). If we fail to attract and retain highly skilled AI and engineering personnel, we may not have the
necessary personnel to build the AI solutions for our clients which may have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our employee benefits expense constitutes the
largest component of our total expenses, as our employees and their capabilities are of critical importance to our
business. See also “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations– Our ability to recruit, train and
retain employees” on page 467.
Competition for highly skilled personnel may require us to increase salaries. Salaries in the countries in which we
operate are a function of that country’s economic growth, level of employment and overall competition for
qualified personnel in the country. Salaries and wages may increase due to various factors, including inflation,
ordinary course pay increases, a rise in minimum wage levels, enhancement in social security measures,
competition for talent, changes in regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate, expansion of our business,
changes in our team distribution towards a greater percentage of senior personnel, and increases in the number of
our employees and subcontractors. Our employee expenses in certain countries, such as India, have historically
been lower compared to other countries where we operate such as the United States. In 2025, DAAI services
headcount in APAC, accounting for about 60% of the talent market, is dominated by India with its extensive
talent pool, lower operational costs, and favourable economic conditions and it is estimated to grow at a rate of
10-15%, while North America, which holds 19-25% of the DAAI talent, is projected to grow at 5-10% over the
next few years, driven by a mature talent market and robust infrastructure, although higher costs are a
consideration (Source: Everest Report). However, salary inflation, particularly in India, may prevent us from
sustaining this competitive advantage and may negatively affect our profitability. Salaries for personnel in our
industry may increase at a faster rate than in the past, which ultimately may make us less competitive unless we
are able to increase the efficiency and productivity of our personnel in addition to the prices we can charge for
our AI solutions.
42We have expanded our operations in recent years through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, which has
resulted in an increase in our headcount and fixed overhead costs. If our human capital is not adequately utilized,
our results of operations and profitability will be negatively and adversely impacted.
8. Internal or external fraud or misconduct by our employees or consultants could adversely affect our
reputation and our results of operations.
We may be subject to, or held liable for, instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts or misconduct
by our employees or representatives, which may go unnoticed for certain periods of time before corrective action
is taken. Although our internal control procedures are designed to monitor our operations and ensure overall
compliance, such procedures may be unable to identify all non-compliance, suspicious transactions, fraud,
misappropriation, unauthorised acts or other misconduct in a timely manner, or prevent or deter such instances.
Our hiring processes may also not be able to filter all potential bad actors from becoming our employees. Further,
we employ third parties for certain operations and accordingly, we are exposed to the risk of theft and
embezzlement. In addition, we may be subject to regulatory or other proceedings in connection with such acts by
our representatives and employees, which could adversely affect our goodwill. While such instances have not
occurred in the last three Fiscals, any such instances could also adversely affect our reputation, brand, business,
results of operations and financial condition. Even when we identify such instances and pursue legal recourse or
file claims with our insurance carriers, we cannot assure you that we will recover any amounts lost through such
instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts or misconduct by our representatives and employees.
9. Our business is subject to evolving laws regarding AI, privacy, data protection and other related
matters. Many of these laws are subject to change and could result in claims, changes to our business
practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, which may harm our business.
Our operations involve the use of AI and machine learning (“ML”) technology, and the collection, use, storage,
sharing, retention and safeguarding, transmission and other processing of our clients’ proprietary data, including
potentially personal or identifying information. For example, we obtain survey data and other forms of data and
primary intelligence for our clients from third parties and public sources and require access to such data to enhance
our AI solutions. While we have not had instances of breaches of data privacy in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025,
there is no assurance that such instances will not occur in the future.
We are subject to numerous federal, state and international laws, rules and regulations regarding the use of AI
and ML technology (including Gen AI technology), privacy, data protection, information security, and the
collection, storing, sharing, use, processing, transfer, disclosure, and protection of personal information and other
data. Such laws, rules and regulations are uncertain, complex and subject to differing interpretations, may be
inconsistent among the countries and regions in which we and our clients operate or may conflict with other laws
and regulations. Further, such laws, rules and regulations are continuing to evolve and any change in their scope
and/or interpretation could increase our costs of compliance and business operations and may limit our ability to
store and process clients’ data or develop new solutions, software and features. The interpretation and application
of consumer and data protection laws in India, the United States, the European Union and elsewhere are often
uncertain, contradictory and in flux. It is possible that these laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that
is inconsistent with our practices. If so, we may not be able to use or have to limit the use of certain AI
technologies, which would in turn make our business less efficient and result in competitive disadvantages, and
any actual or alleged breach of laws and regulations could result in government imposed fines or orders requiring
that we change our practices, implement onerous compliance measures or delete data, each of which could
adversely affect our business. Our failure to adequately address concerns and regulations relating to the
responsible use of AI by us or others could undermine public confidence in AI and slow adoption of AI in our
products and services or cause reputational or financial harm.
Set out below are certain laws and regulations in relation to the use of AI and ML technology, privacy and data
protection in India, the United States and the European Union which we consider to be critical for our business.
Other jurisdictions may also decide to adopt similar or more restrictive legislation that may render the use of such
technologies challenging. See also “– We may be adversely affected by the evolving laws and regulations
governing our business and the introduction of any new applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions we
operate in. Failure to comply with the existing, and changes to, laws and regulations applicable to our business
could subject our Company to enforcement actions and penalties and otherwise harm our business” on page 55
for more details of other laws which may affect us.
43India:
In India, we are required to comply with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the rules thereunder, and
which provide for civil and criminal liability including compensation to persons affected, penalties and
imprisonment for various cyber related offenses, including unauthorised disclosure of confidential information
and unlawful disclosure of sensitive personal data or information. India has already implemented certain privacy
laws, which impose limitations and restrictions on the collection, use, disclosure and transfer of personal
information. Internationally, many jurisdictions have established their own data security and privacy legal
frameworks, including data localization and storage requirements, with which we may need to comply.
Additionally, the President of India on August 11, 2023 granted assent to the Digital Personal Data Protection
Act, 2023 (the “Data Protection Act”), the provisions of the Data Protection Act shall come into effect on such
date as the Central Government may notify in the official gazette. The Data Protection Act regulates the collection
and processing of digital personal data by persons, including companies and provides for personal data protection
and privacy of individuals, lays down norms for cross-border transfer of personal data including ensuring the
accountability of entities processing personal data. For further details on the key regulations, see “Key Regulations
and Policies – Key Regulations and Policies in India Industry - specific Regulations” on page 310. The Indian
Government has also been mooting a legislation governing non-personal data (“NPD”), however no legislation
has been passed yet to give effect to the NPD regime. Further, the Draft India Data Accessibility and Use Policy
was introduced by the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology on February 21, 2022 for comments
and finalization which aims to enhance access, quality, and use of non-personal data, in line with the current and
emerging technology needs including maximizing access to and use of quality non-personal data available with
public sector. The introduction of any new information technology-related legislation may require us to modify
our existing systems, or invest in new technologies to ensure compliance with such applicable laws, which may
require us to incur additional expenses and adversely affect our financial condition. Our failure to adhere to or
successfully implement processes in response to changing regulatory requirements in this area could result in
legal liability or adversely affect our reputation in the marketplace, which could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
United States:
In the United States, the rules and regulations to which we may be subject include the Federal Trade Act and rules
promulgated under the authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act, state consumer
privacy laws and state cybersecurity and breach notification laws, as well as regulator enforcement positions and
expectations. For example, we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”) , which
requires us to, among other things, provide certain disclosures to California residents regarding our collection,
use, and disclosure of their personal information and enter into specific contractual provisions with service
providers that process California resident personal information on our behalf. The CCPA broadly defines personal
information and gives California residents expanded privacy rights and protections, such as affording them the
right to access and request deletion of their information and to opt out of certain sharing and sales of personal
information. The law also prohibits covered businesses from discriminating against California residents (for
example, charging more for solutions and software) for exercising any of their rights under the CCPA. The CCPA
provides for civil penalties and statutory damages for violations and includes a private right of action for certain
data breaches that result in the loss of personal information. This private right of action may increase the likelihood
of, and risks associated with, data breach litigation. However, it remains unclear how various provisions of the
CCPA will be interpreted and enforced. The enactment of the CCPA has prompted similar legislative
developments in other states in the United States, which creates a patchwork of overlapping but different state
laws. In addition, various governments have taken an interest in technical developments in AI and machine
learning and have responded to such developments in various ways, including by issuing action plans for risk
mitigation and introducing legislation to generally oversee the use of AI. For instance, in the United States, recent
executive actions have rescinded and replaced prior directives on AI oversight, directing federal agencies to
reassess existing AI-related regulations and new policy priorities. Most recently, an “AI Action Plan” was issued
by the Trump administration setting out a broad set of recommended actions and guidelines regarding the use of
AI technologies. The scope and direction of orders, policies, rules, and regulations related to AI and machine
learning at the federal level in the United States in the near future is uncertain. Meanwhile, several states and
localities have also enacted measures related to the use of AI and ML technologies in products and services that
establish, amongst other things, disclosure, compliance, and accountability requirements for certain uses of AI.
From a privacy perspective, the Federal Trade Commission has also required other companies to turn over (or
disgorge) valuable insights or trainings generated through the use of AI/ML where they allege the company has
violated privacy and consumer protection laws.
44Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice recently issued a final rule that went into effect in April 2025, known
as the “Data Security Program” (the “DSP Rule”). The DSP Rule places restrictions, and in some cases
prohibitions, on certain data transactions transfers that could grant access to U.S. sensitive personal data to certain
foreign actors with connections to “countries of concern,” such as China, which the DSP Rule refers to as “covered
persons,” and may create operational challenges and legal risks for our business .
Europe/UK:
The EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) and the United Kingdom equivalent (together
referred to as the “GDPR”) imposes stringent obligations relating to data protection and security, it authorizes
fines computed based on global annual turnover. The GDPR applies to any company established in the EEA and
UK as well as to those outside the EEA and UK if they collect, process, and use personal data in connection with
the offering of goods or services to individuals in the EEA and UK or the monitoring of their behavior. The
GDPR, together with national legislation, regulations and guidelines of the EEA and UK countries governing the
processing of personal data, imposes comprehensive obligations in relation to the collection and use of personal
information including a principle of accountability and the obligation to demonstrate compliance through policies,
procedures, training and audit, as well as regulating cross-border transfers of personal data out of the EEA and
the UK. Companies that must comply with the GDPR face increased compliance obligations and risk, including
regulatory enforcement of data protection requirements and potential fines for non-compliance of up to €20
million or 4% of the annual global turnover of the non-compliant company, whichever is greater. The UK GDPR
mirrors the fines under the GDPR, i.e. fines up to the greater of £17.5million or 4% of global annual turnover.
In addition, in Europe, on August 1, 2024, the EU Artificial Intelligence Act (“EU AI Act”) entered into force
and establishes a comprehensive, risk-based governance framework for AI in the EU market. The majority of the
substantive requirements will apply from August 2, 2026. The EU AI Act applies to companies that develop, use
and/or provide AI in the EU and – depending on the AI use case - includes requirements around transparency,
conformity assessments and monitoring, risk assessments, human oversight, security, accuracy, general purpose
AI and foundation models, and fines for breach of up to 7% of worldwide annual turnover.
10. We had losses before exceptional items and tax expense in Fiscals 2024 and 2023. There is no
assurance that we will not incur losses in the future as we expand our operations.
While our revenue from operations increased from Fiscal 2023 to Fiscal 2025 and our EBITDA was positive for
each of Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025, we incurred net loss in Fiscal 2024 primarily due to lower margins, share
of (loss) of associate of ₹(163) million and remeasurement loss of retained associate of ₹(55) million, as compared
to an exceptional gain of ₹5,239 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily due to a gain on loss of control of subsidiary of
₹5,410 million relating to Qure.ai, which did not reoccur in Fiscal 2024. We had losses before exceptional items
and tax expense in Fiscal 2024 and 2023. For more information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Summary Results of Operations – Fiscal 2024 Compared to
Fiscal 2023” on page 474.
(₹ in million)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Profit/(Loss) for the year 2,206 (547) 1,944
Profit/(Loss) before exceptional items and tax expense 2,110 (250) (2,105)
Revenue from operations 27,654 21,963 19,854
EBITDA(1) 3,980 972 4,368
Note:
(1) EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) for the year plus (i) total tax expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense and (iii) finance
costs. For a reconciliation of EBITDA, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations – Non-GAAP measures”
on page 478.
We expect to continue expending financial and other resources, including by expanding our capabilities by
investing in R&D and product innovation and accelerating our capabilities through acquisitions. These efforts
may require more investment than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth in our business.
Any increase in our major expenses, including employee benefit costs, software development and maintenance
expense and research and development expenses for developing new AI solutions, may increase our operating
costs and may be more costly than we expect. These initiatives may not result in increased revenue or profitable
growth in our business, which could materially and adversely affect our overall profitability. Any failure to
increase our revenue or control costs sufficiently could prevent us from maintaining profitability, which may in
turn negatively affect the value of our Equity Shares. For further details on factors affecting our overall operating
45margin, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –
Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 464.
11. Our pricing structures may not accurately anticipate the cost, complexity and duration of our work,
which could consequently impact our profitability.
Our pricing depends on the clients’ and our internal forecasts, which may be based on limited data and could be
inaccurate. Building our AI solutions requires customization, specialized personnel and technology infrastructure.
Therefore, human capital and facilities, dedicated or provisioned for a particular client may not be easily
reallocated for other clients. While we have not experienced any incidents of material under-pricing in Fiscals
2023, 2024 and 2025, there is a risk that we may under-price our contracts, or we might fail to accurately estimate
the duration, complexity and costs of performing the work or fail to accurately assess the risks associated with
potential contracts. If so, we could be exposed to cost overruns, which could in turn make these contracts less
profitable or unprofitable. For example, in Fiscal 2024, due to significant deviations between the actual scope of
work and the initially contemplated scope of work for a UAE based client, we had to exit an engagement with the
client to avoid cost overruns. While this did not have a material adverse effect on our business or results of
operations, there can be no assurance that any future instances will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.
We may change our pricing model or pricing terms from time to time as a result of, among other things, our
client’s specific requests, competition, global economic conditions, or general reductions in our clients’ spending
levels. Similarly, as we introduce new AI solutions, or customize existing AI solutions, we may have difficulty
in determining the appropriate pricing structure for them. In addition, as competitors introduce new solutions or
software that compete with ours, or revise their pricing structures, we may be unable to attract new clients at the
same price or based on the same pricing model as we have used historically or retain clients at a pricing that
would allow us to maintain our business performance and results of operations. Moreover, as we continue to
target selling our AI solutions to larger organizations, these large organizations may demand substantial price
concessions. For further details on factors affecting our overall operating margin, see “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Principal Factors Affecting Our Financing
Condition and Results of Operations – Pricing Model” on page 466.
12. Exchange rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations as a significant portion of
our revenues are denominated in foreign currencies and may adversely affect the value of our Equity
Shares.
We are exposed to fluctuations of other currencies compared to our reporting currency for our Restated
Consolidated Financial Information, Indian Rupees. Our clients are located across Americas, Europe and APAC
and others, and we receive more than 70% of our revenue from operations each year in U.S dollars, and more
than 90% of our revenue each year in currencies other than Indian Rupees (including U.S. dollars, pound sterling
and euros). The table below sets out the percentage of revenue denominated in currencies other than Indian Rupees
for the years indicated:
(₹ in million, except for percentages)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Revenue denominated in currencies 25,411 91.9% 20,116 91.6% 18,407 92.7%
other than Indian Rupees
In recent years, the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar, pound sterling and euro have fluctuated significantly against
the Indian Rupee. While we had ₹126 million, ₹65 million and ₹306 million in foreign exchange gain (net) in
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, there can be no assurance that our results of operations will not be
negatively impacted in the future. Full or increased capital account convertibility between Indian Rupees to/from
other currencies, if introduced, may result in increased exposure to the volatility in the fluctuations of exchange
rates between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies. Additionally, in the future, foreign exchange controls
could potentially restrict us from repatriating income earned in certain foreign countries to India. Any such
limitation, restriction or delay in repatriation may cause us to incur losses because of the volatility of these
currencies compared to the Indian Rupees. We have a risk management policy to hedge transactions to protect
against uncertainty in future exchange rates between foreign currencies through forward contracts, options and
structured products. For more details see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Results of Operations
– Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk – Currency risk” on
page 483. However, the policies of the RBI or the countries where we operate may change from time to time,
46which may limit our ability to hedge our foreign currency exposures adequately. We may, accordingly, not be
able to effectively hedge ourselves or our transactional exposure may not be fully hedged as a result of which, we
may be exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates that could harm our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects.
13. We face ethical and reputational risks associated with the use of our AI (including Gen AI) technology
and algorithms, and instances of negative publicity can affect our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
Social, ethical and operational issues relating to the use of AI, including Gen AI and agentic AI, in our offerings
may result in reputational harm, liability and additional costs. Rising privacy and ethical concerns around DAAI
technology, along with strict regulatory policies, pose a threat to DAAI innovation and enterprise adoption
(Source: Everest Report). We are increasingly incorporating AI technologies, developed by us and by third
parties, into many of our offerings. If our AI development, deployment, content labeling or governance is
ineffective or inadequate, it may result in incidents that impair the public acceptance of AI solutions or cause
harm to individuals, customers or society, or result in our offerings not working as intended or producing
unexpected outcomes. Our application of AI or Gen AI algorithms and technologies that power/augment decisions
in an enterprise may produce biased analysis and discrimination against inquiry subjects in certain stereotypes,
such as unequal risk scoring based on characteristics such as gender and so on. AI algorithms and models may
also be flawed. Datasets in AI training, development, or operations may be insufficient or of poor quality, reflect
unwanted forms of bias, or raise other legal concerns (for example, the use of AI-generated content also raises
copyright and ownership concerns (source: Everest Report)). Inappropriate or controversial data practices by, or
practices reflecting inherent biases of, data scientists, engineers, and end-users of our systems could impair the
acceptance of AI solutions. The adoption of Gen AI has increased hallucinatory responses, deep fakes, and bias
in AI algorithms (source: Everest Report). Third-party AI capabilities that can be integrated with our platforms
could also produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences about client data or enterprises, or other information or
subject matter. While we have implemented a responsible AI framework and have not faced instances of negative
publicity in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025, if we enable or offer AI solutions that draw controversy due to their
perceived or actual impact on society, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm or legal
liability. The rapid evolution of AI may also require additional resources to develop, test, and maintain our
platforms and products to help ensure that AI is implemented appropriately to minimize unintended or harmful
impact, which may be costly and may not produce the benefits and results that we expect. For further details of
our responsible AI framework, see “Business - Responsible AI Framework” on page 307.
14. We may not be able to prevent unauthorised use of our proprietary tools and other information and
our intellectual property rights may not be adequate to protect our business and competitive position.
We may also be subject to claims by third parties, which are extremely costly to defend, could require
us to pay damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies, thereby adversely impacting
our results of operations and profitability.
We rely on trademarks and patents to protect our technical know-how and intellectual property rights (“IPR”).
The table below provides information about our IPRs as of August 11, 2025. For more information of our IPR,
please see “Our Business- Intellectual Property Rights” on page 308.
Patents Trademarks
Registered Pending Registered Pending
Company and Subsidiaries 24 41 364 121
For our pending trademark and patent applications, we cannot assure you that these applications will be approved,
as applications are subject to objections and challenges. In addition, certain of our IPR may not be patentable or
registrable (such as copyrights) and, even in the event it is patentable or registrable, we may be unable to obtain
the registered IPR in time or at all. In addition, IPR normally have time limits that expire according to the laws in
the relevant jurisdictions. If the challenges to our IPR are successful, we could be forced to rebrand or redevelop
our AI solutions, which could cost us significant research and development expenses and marketing expenses.
Further, we cannot assure you that competitors will not infringe our IPR, or that we will have adequate resources
to enforce our IPR. Failure to register IPR would also enable our competitors to deploy such technologies, which
could materially and adversely affect our competitiveness.
In addition, companies in the software and technology industries own large numbers of patents, copyrights,
trademarks and trade secrets and frequently enter into litigation based on allegations of infringement or other
violations of IPR. For example, our Company and a third party have challenged applications filed by each other
47to register ‘Fractal’ under class 42 of the Trade Marks Act and the applications are currently under challenge
before the Trademark Registry. There is no guarantee that these challenges will be resolved in our favour or that
our IPR will deter other companies from asserting IPR claims against us, our partners, our technology partners or
our clients. If a third party successfully asserts a claim for infringement against us, with or without merit,
defending it could be time-consuming and costly, and we may be liable for damages, be unable to implement our
AI solutions, or have to seek a license (which may be on unreasonable terms and would increase our operating
expenses) or redevelop our service. The occurrence of any of the foregoing would adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
To protect our and our clients’ proprietary information and other IPR, we also require our employees, independent
contractors, vendors and clients to enter into written agreements with us which include confidentiality obligations.
Nonetheless, these agreements may not sufficiently defend us from unauthorised disclosure, misappropriation or
use of our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary or confidential information, and policing unauthorised
use of proprietary technology is difficult and expensive. Although we have not encountered any misappropriation
of our and our clients’ proprietary technology in the past, there is no assurance that the steps we have taken would
be adequate to prevent such incidents in the future.
15. We depend on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts to enhance sales of our AI solutions. Any
failure in our marketing efforts could adversely impact our business and financial condition. Further,
our business depends on a strong brand and corporate reputation and if we are not able to maintain
and enhance our brand, our ability to grow our business and our results of operations and financial
condition may be adversely affected.
Our ability to grow revenue depends on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. We spend time, effort and
money in marketing without any assurance that our efforts will result in sales of our AI solutions. Further, our
methods of marketing and advertising may not be successful in increasing brand awareness or be cost-effective.
If we are unable to maintain or enhance prospective client awareness of our brand compared to that of our
competitors, or if we are unable to recover our marketing costs through increased sales and usage of our AI
solutions, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. The following
table provides a breakdown of our marketing expenses for the years indicated:
(₹ in million, except for percentages)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Marketing expenses 134 193 234
As a % of revenue from operations (%) 0.5% 0.9% 1.2%
We have, over the years, developed a brand that we believe has contributed to the success of our business.
Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our brand is critical to expanding our client base, as well as increasing
market penetration with our AI solutions. This largely depends on our ability to remain widely known, maintain
trust within our organization and with our clients, preserve the integrity of our culture that engenders trust and
innovation and continue to provide high quality and secure solutions. Since many of our specific client
engagements involve tailored AI solutions, our performance and corporate reputation is a significant factor in our
clients’ determination of whether to continue engaging us or hire us for prospective AI solutions. However, our
corporate reputation is susceptible to damage by various factors such as actions or statements made by current or
former employees or clients, competitors, vendors and adversaries in legal proceedings, as well as members of
the investment community and the media. There is a risk that negative information about us, on social media or
in print, even if based on false rumors or misunderstandings, could adversely affect our business. While we have
not experienced any material negative publicity in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025, any negative news affecting us
might also affect our reputation and brand value. In particular, damage to our reputation could be difficult and
time-consuming to repair, especially due to the competitive nature of our work and our industry, which could
make potential or existing clients reluctant to select us for new engagements, resulting in a loss of business, and
could adversely affect our employee recruitment and retention efforts.
16. We face intense competition in our markets, and we may lack sufficient financial or other resources
to maintain or improve our competitive position and may experience reduced operating margins and
loss of market share.
Our business is subject to threats and challenges including changing macroeconomic conditions, rise in
insourcing, talent retention and up-skilling challenges, among others. As DAAI is one of the fastest growing
digital services markets, potential entry of new entrants with differentiated offerings that can cater to enterprise
48needs may also pose a threat to our business (Source: Everest Report). For details, see “Industry Overview” on
page 211.
Our AI solutions may be replicated by our competitors, requiring us to constantly innovate, update and improve
the quality of our AI solutions to remain competitive. If we fail to do so, it will be difficult for us to differentiate
ourselves from the intense competition and we may lose our clients. Our results of operations would also suffer
if our innovations are not responsive to the needs of our clients, are not appropriately timed with market
opportunities, are not effectively brought to market or are not commercialized in a timely manner. Our competitors
may be able to offer solutions that are, or that are perceived to be, similar to or better than those we offer, or they
may offer such solutions at a lower rate than us. In addition, our competitors may have greater financial, technical
and other resources and greater name recognition than we do, as the markets in which we compete have attracted
investments from a wide range of funding sources, and our competitors can be highly capitalized. Certain
competitors may also have, or over time have, a stronger presence in certain geographic markets, and could have
competitive advantages over us in terms of, among other things, brand recognition, marketing budgets and
resources, and channel and distribution partners. We may also face competition from in-house development by
our clients, academic and government institutions, and the open-source community who may offer similar
services, solutions and software or an adequate substitute for our AI solutions. Over the past few years, there has
been a steady rise in new in-house setups due to increasing cost competitiveness of captives, greater alignment
with enterprise priorities, and better control and governance (Source: Everest Report). While there is an
opportunity for service providers to capitalize on this shift by enabling captive center setup and transformation,
it may also result in reduced enterprise spend on third-party providers (Source: Everest Report). These factors
may force us to compete on other fronts in addition to the quality of our AI solutions and to expend resources to
remain competitive, which we may be unable to do. Any failure by us to compete successfully in any one of these
or other areas may reduce the demand for our AI solutions, as well as adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
17. If we face immigration or work permit restrictions in any country where we have operations, then our
business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.
The success of our business is dependent on our ability to attract and retain talented and experienced professionals
and be able to mobilize them to meet our clients’ needs, both within India and globally. Immigration laws in the
countries we operate in are subject to legislative changes, as well as to variations in the standards of application
and enforcement due to political forces and economic conditions. It is difficult to predict the political and
economic events that could affect immigration laws, or the restrictive impact they could have on obtaining or
renewing work visas for our employees or contractors. A few countries, such as the United States and the United
Kingdom, have introduced new provisions and standards in immigration law which can impact our ability to
provide services in those countries due to restrictive policies and additional costs involved. Our current and future
inability to obtain or renew sufficient work permits and/or visas due to the impact of these regulations, including
any changes to immigration, work permit and visa regulations in jurisdictions such as the United States, could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
18. We may fail to identify or successfully acquire target businesses and our acquisitions could prove
difficult to integrate which could disrupt our business and strain our resources.
We have gained new clients, enhanced our capabilities and AI solutions, and expanded our market reach through
selective acquisitions. For example, in Fiscal 2022, we acquired 100.0% of the share capital in Neal Analytics,
100.0% of the share capital of Senseforth and 55.92% of the share capital of Analytics Vidhya. For further details,
see “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details regarding material acquisitions or divestments of
business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, any revaluation of assets, etc. in the last 10 years” on page 318.
As part of our business strategy, we may continue to identify potential strategic transactions, including
acquisitions of businesses, new technologies, solutions, and other assets and investments that complement our
business, and enhance our technical, functional and domain capabilities. See “Objects of the Offer” on page 173.
Acquisition and integration activities are complex and time-consuming, and we may encounter unexpected
difficulties in or incur unexpected costs for, including, among other things:
• identifying favourable opportunities, suitable acquisition targets and technological trends and
competition from other potential acquirers;
• potential inability to achieve the business and operating synergies anticipated in the acquisitions
including anticipated cost savings and additional revenue opportunities;
49• determining the appropriate purchase price of companies proposed to be acquired, which may result in
potential impairment of goodwill;
• potential increases in debt, which may increase our finance costs as a result of higher interest payments;
• exposure to unanticipated contingent liabilities of acquired businesses;
• receipt of requisite governmental, statutory and other regulatory approvals for any proposed acquisition;
• managing our growing client base and entry into new geographies and industries;
• retaining clients from acquired businesses;
• indemnification from sellers for legal liabilities incurred by the acquired company prior to the
acquisition;
• integrating businesses, technologies, solutions, personnel or operations of acquired companies;
• retaining key personnel necessary to favorably execute the combined companies’ business plan;
• risks and cost associated with the litigations of the acquired businesses;
• adhering to and further improving the quality of our AI solutions, process execution standards, and
maintaining client satisfaction;
• maintaining or enhancing our internal controls to ensure timely and accurate reporting of all our
operations, particularly as we integrate new acquisitions; and
• not realizing the benefits from certain investments, or certain investments not resulting in short-term
returns.
We compete with other companies to acquire target businesses, and we may not be able to identify or successfully
acquire appropriate strategic targets. If we fail to integrate or manage acquired companies efficiently, or if the
acquired businesses do not generate the operational and financial results we expect, we may not be able to realize
the benefits of the acquisitions, and our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as overall
growth prospects, could be materially adversely affected. Moreover, the costs of identifying and consummating
acquisitions may be significant. Past and future acquisitions and the subsequent integration of new assets and
businesses into our own require significant attention from our management and could result in a diversion of
resources from our existing business, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our operations. Acquisitions
could result in the use of substantial amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the
occurrence of significant goodwill impairment charges, amortization expenses for other intangible assets, and
exposure to potential unknown defects of the acquired assets or liabilities of the acquired business.
Our impairment assessment is carried out annually at year end, or when there is an indication of any impairment.
As of March 31, 2025, while there has been no goodwill impairment for our acquisitions, intangibles recognized
pursuant to acquisition has been provided for, where applicable; accordingly we cannot assure you that we will
not have to account for such impairments in the future. Regulatory constraints, particularly competition
regulations, may also affect the extent to which we can maximize the value of our acquisitions or investments.
Also see, “ - Our business and activities may be regulated by global anti-trust laws and proceedings may be
enforced against us” on page 71.
19. Our Company, Subsidiaries, and two of our Directors are involved in certain legal proceedings. Any
adverse decision in such proceedings may render us/them liable to liabilities/penalties and may
adversely affect our business, cash flows and reputation.
Certain legal proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiaries and two of our Directors are pending at different
levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and authorities. In the event of adverse rulings in the
proceedings involving us or consequent levy of penalties, we may need to make payments or make provisions for
future payments, which may increase expenses and current or contingent liabilities. A summary of outstanding
litigation proceedings involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Directors, Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel and
50members of Senior Management as disclosed in “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments” on page

Further, as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there are no pending proceedings involving our
Group Company which will have a material impact on our Company.
We are in the process of litigating these tax matters and based on the assessment in accordance with applicable
accounting standards, we have presently not made provision for any of the pending legal and tax matters. For
details of our contingent liabilities, see “Summary of the Offer Document – Summary of Contingent Liabilities of
our Company”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
– Contingent Liabilities” on pages 23 and 482, respectively. We cannot assure you that the outcome of any of
these matters will be in favor of our Company or our Subsidiaries and Directors, respectively, or that no additional
liability will arise out of these proceedings/ matters. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings/ matters
could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, prospects, results of operations and our
reputation.
Further, we may be subject to legal action by individuals including our employees and/or ex-employees in relation
to alleged grievances such as termination of their employment with our Company or alleged claims contending
ownership and or participation rights in our Company. For instance, our Company is involved in a regulatory
proceeding which are initiated before the Joint Commissioner of Labour, Rangareddy Zone, Hyderabad and is
currently pending before the High Court of State of Telangana wherein a former employee of our Company has
alleged arbitrary termination of his employment. For further details, please refer to “Outstanding Litigation and
Material Developments – Litigation involving our Company – Litigation filed against our Company – Actions by
regulatory and statutory authorities” on page 494. Additionally, our Company has in the past received certain
notices from certain authorities seeking information pertaining to compliance with labor laws, that were duly
responded by our Company, and no action was initiated against us. We cannot assure you that we will not be
51involved in, or be held liable, in such matters and no action will be taken against us by the authorities. We may
also be subject to allegations which may or may not lead to any legal action but may receive media coverage
which could adversely affect our reputation. There can be no assurance that such complaints or claims will not
result in investigations, enquiries or legal actions by any courts, tribunals or regulatory authorities against us.
Furthermore, we may not be able to quantify all the claims in which we are involved. If we fail to successfully
defend these or other claims, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected. Even if we are
successful in defending such cases, we will be subjected to legal and other costs relating to defending such
litigation, and such costs could be substantial. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, prospects, cash flows, results of operations and our reputation.
20. Artificial general intelligence may disrupt the market and adversely affect our business model and
ability to compete.
The development of artificial general intelligence (“AGI”) has the potential to surpass our current AI capabilities,
posing a threat to our business model and potentially rendering our existing AI solutions and AI products obsolete.
For example, AGI may enable users of all skill levels to perform and create AI and data analytics solutions, which
may lead to our clients using AGI products instead for their needs, and which would in turn significantly disrupt
our business. While the ongoing development of AGI is uncertain and cannot be predicted, there can be no
assurance that we will able to compete effectively with AGI products, if available, and that our business, financial
results, cash flows and results of operations will not be materially and adversely affected.
21. Our ability to implement AI solutions depends in part on our ability to operate with third-party services
and any failure to do so could adversely impact our operations.
Our ability to implement our AI solutions depends in part on our ability to operate with products and services of
third parties, including software services, graphic processing units (GPUs) and infrastructure. For example, we
partner with a range of companies, including public cloud infrastructure providers, data providers, GPU suppliers,
AI labs (frontier and foundation model, and LLM providers), and technology companies for our operations. There
is no assurance that these products and services would be available at our desirable costs, volume and/or speed,
or at all. For example, rate limits (which are restrictions that application programming interfaces (“APIs”) impose
on the number of times a user can access services within a specified period of time) imposed by closed source AI
labs may create bottlenecks for implementing our AI solutions. Our AI solutions must also integrate with a variety
of operating systems, software applications and hardware developed by others. In addition, to the extent a third-
party were to develop software or services that compete with ours, that provider may choose not to support our
AI solutions. While we have not faced any material breaches of agreements with our third party providers in
Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025, there is no assurance that such risks may not materialise in the future. We intend to
facilitate the compatibility of our AI solutions with various third-party hardware, software, and infrastructure by
maintaining and expanding our business and technical relationships. If we are not successful in achieving this,
our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely impacted.
Our AI solutions include software or other IP licensed from third parties. Once these licenses expire, we would
be required to renew licenses relating to various aspects of these platforms or to seek new licenses for existing or
new platforms or other products. There can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on
commercially acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, any software we license from third parties for potential use
in our platforms may contain errors or defects, which could negatively impact the analytics that we and our clients
perform on or with such software. The use of products and services of third parties, including LLMs, may also be
restricted in certain jurisdictions by the relevant providers as part of their compliance efforts. For example, certain
technology providers will not release their Gen AI programs in Europe due to the underlying data they have
trained on, to comply with the GDPR. In addition, the companies we are working with may also be subject to
litigations or claims, and as such, they may be required to restrict, suspend or terminate the provision of their
products or services. There is no assurance that we could find reasonable alternatives at comparable costs if this
happened.
While we have not experienced any loss of material third party licenses in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025, changes
in, termination of, or discontinuation of or the loss of third-party licenses could lead to our AI solutions becoming
inoperable, roll backs, or the performance of our AI solutions being materially reduced resulting in us potentially
needing to incur additional research and development costs to ensure continued performance of our AI solutions
or a material increase in the costs of licensing, and we may experience decreased demand for our AI solutions.
Moreover, the inclusion in our AI solutions of software or other IP licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive
52basis could limit our ability to differentiate our AI solutions from products of our competitors and could inhibit
our ability to provide the current level of AI solutions to existing clients.
22. We depend on computing infrastructure operated by third parties to support some of our clients and
any errors, disruption, performance problems, or failure in their or our operational infrastructure
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We rely on the technology, infrastructure, and software applications of certain third parties for some of our
operations, such as cloud-based, client relationship management activities, billing and order management,
cybersecurity program, and financial accounting services. We do not have control over the operations of the
facilities of the third parties that we use. If any of these third-party services experience errors, disruptions, security
issues, incompatibility issues or other performance deficiencies; it could cause our platforms to fail, our revenue
and margins could decline, or our reputation and brand could be damaged. Many of these third-party providers
attempt to impose limitations on their liability for such errors, disruptions, defects, performance deficiencies, or
failures, and if enforceable, we may have additional liability to our clients which may not be compensated by our
third-party providers which are responsible for the liability. Our systems and the third-party systems are
vulnerable to damage or interruption from catastrophic events such as earthquakes, floods, fires, power loss,
telecommunication failures, cybersecurity threats and incidents, public health crises (such as the COVID-19
pandemic), geopolitical tensions, or acts of misconduct. While we have not faced such instances in Fiscals 2023,
2024 and 2025, any significant physical damage to one of these facilities may result in a significant period of time
to achieve full resumption of our services, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities.
In addition, any negative publicity arising from these disruptions could harm our reputation and brand and
adversely affect our business.
Moreover, to the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems as needed,
and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes
in technology, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. The
provisioning of additional cloud hosting capacity or upgrading technology, infrastructure, and software
applications each require lead time and resources. Various cloud server service providers1 have no obligation to
renew their agreements with us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If these third parties increase pricing
terms, terminate their contracts with us, establish more favourable relationships with our competitors, or change
or interpret their terms of service or policies in a manner that is unfavourable to us, we may be required to transfer
to other cloud providers or invest in a private cloud. As a result, we may incur significant costs and experience
possible service interruption in connection with doing so, or risk loss of client contracts if they are unwilling to
accept such a change.
23. If open source software programmers, many of whom we do not employ, or our own internal
programmers do not continue to develop and enhance open source technologies, we may be unable to
develop new technologies, adequately enhance our existing technologies or meet client requirements
for innovation, quality and price, thereby adversely affecting our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
We rely on a number of open source software programmers, or committers and contributors, to develop and
enhance components of our AI products. We rely on software modules of third-party authors under “open source”
licenses. The use and distribution of open source software and AI foundation models may entail greater risks than
the use of third-party commercial software, as open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or other
contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. While we have not breached any
terms of open source software licenses in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025, if we are held to have breached the terms
of an open source software license, we could be required to seek licenses from third-parties to continue offering
such affected services on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer these services, to discontinue
the sale of such services if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely or cost-effective basis, or to
make generally available, in source code form, our proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, we cannot predict whether further developments
and enhancements to these technologies would be available from reliable alternative sources. In either event, we
may incur additional development expenses and experience delays in technology release and upgrade. Delays in
developing, completing, or delivering new or enhanced components to our AI products could cause our AI
1 NTD: this refers to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and other third parties. We can include specific references if we
receive consents.
53solutions to be less competitive, impair client acceptance of our solutions, and result in delayed or reduced revenue
for our solutions.
One of the characteristics of open source software is that the governing license terms generally allow liberal
modifications of the code and distribution thereof to a wide group of companies and/or individuals. As a result,
others could easily develop new platforms and applications based upon those open source programs that compete
with existing open source software that we support and incorporate into our software. Such competition with use
of the open source software that we utilize can materialise without the same degree of overhead and lead time
required by us, particularly if the clients do not value the differentiation of our proprietary components. It is
possible for competitors with greater resources than ours to develop their own open source software or hybrid
proprietary and open source software offerings, potentially reducing the demand for, and putting price pressure
on, our software. In addition, some competitors make open source software available for free download and use,
which may affect demand for our AI solutions. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to compete successfully
against current and future competitors or that competitive pressure and/or the availability of open source software
will not result in price reductions, reduced operating margins and loss of market share, any one of which could
seriously harm our business.
24. Our cash flows and results of operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to collect on billed
and unbilled receivables from clients and we may not be able to recognize revenues, which may cause
our margins to fluctuate.
The table below sets out our trade receivables (gross), provisions for trade receivables and trade receivable days
for the years indicated:
(₹ in million, unless otherwise stated)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Trade receivables (gross) 5,971 5,433 5,075
Allowances for expected credit loss (123) (100) (66)
Trade receivable days (1) (days) 74 86 N/A*
*Not applicable, as trade receivables for Fiscal 2022 has not been included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Note:
(1) Trade receivable days are computed as the average of net trade receivables, i.e., (gross trade receivables less allowances for expected
credit loss)/revenue for the year, x 365 days.
Actual losses on client balances could differ from those that we currently anticipate and, as a result, we may need
to adjust our provisions. We may not be able to accurately assess the creditworthiness of our clients. Any changes
in the financial and operational condition of our clients, their business model, or other material changes, such as
consolidation or liquidation, could negatively impact the demand for our AI solutions, and our ability to collect
receivables. A lack of liquidity in the capital markets, slow economic performance or a general slow-down in our
clients’ business may cause our clients to increase the time they take to settle, delay payments, pay in parts (not
as contractually agreed) or to default on their payment obligations, which could lead to an increase in bad debt
and negatively affect cash flows for our business and consequently our results of operations and financial
condition. Any large-scale bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding of a client could also reduce or eliminate
our clients’ ability to use or pay for our AI solutions and render us unable to recover our receivables. While we
have not experienced a material failure to collect receivables from our clients in Fiscals 2023, 2024 and 2025,
any such instances in the future could impact our operations and financial condition. If clients are unsatisfied with
their engagement with us, it may lead to a failure to recover amounts due to us and could negatively impact the
demand for our AI solutions and materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
prospects. We had experienced occasional client withdrawals; however, these instances did not materially affect
our results of operations.
25. We have incurred negative cash flows in the past. There is no assurance that we will not incur losses
in the future as we expand our operations.
The table below summarizes the statement of cash flows, as per our restated consolidated statement of cash flows,
for the years indicated:

Net increase / (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents 1,936 (1,356) 369
Our operating cash flow may decline for various reasons, many of which are beyond our control. Because we
continue to incur expenditures for employee benefits, research and development, advertising and publicity, and
general and administrative expenses, we may continue to experience negative cash flow until we reach a sufficient
level of sales to cover operating expenses and working capital requirements. While we had positive operating
cash flows in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, we cannot assure you that we will continue to have positive operating
cash flows in future. Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to match the timing and amounts of our
cash inflows with the timing and amounts of our payment obligations and other cash outflows, and any such
occurrences may adversely affect our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition. See
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 463 for more
details.
26. Failure to obtain or renew our statutory and regulatory licenses, approvals, consents, registrations
and permissions to carry out our operations in a timely manner, or at all, may adversely affect our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We are required to obtain and maintain certain statutory and regulatory licenses, approvals, consents, registrations
and permissions under central, state and local government regulations to carry out/ undertake our business. These
approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions may be subject to numerous conditions. If we fail to obtain
some or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, or if we fail to comply
with applicable conditions or it is claimed that we have breached any such conditions, our license or permission
for carrying on a particular activity may be suspended or cancelled and we may not be able to carry on such
activity, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. For
further information on the nature of material approvals and registrations required for our Company and its
Material Subsidiaries businesses, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 498.
In addition, we have, and may need to in the future, apply for certain additional approvals, including the renewal
of approvals, which may expire from time to time in the ordinary course of business. There is no assurance that
such key approvals and licenses will be granted or renewed in a timely manner or at all by the relevant
governmental or regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain or renew such key approvals and licenses in a timely
manner or at all and any delay in the issuance of such material licenses, permits or approvals by the relevant
authorities may result in action by the relevant regulatory authority against us, or imposition of fines or penalties
on us. For details on material approvals required by our Company and material Subsidiaries, being Fractal USA
and Asper USA, see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 498. We have not experienced any instances of
material approvals being rejected, suspended or revoked in the past three Fiscals. Our licenses and approvals are
subject to various conditions, including periodic renewal and maintenance standards. Any actual or alleged failure
on our part to comply with the terms and conditions of such regulatory licenses and registrations could expose us
to legal action, compliance costs or liabilities, or could affect our ability to continue to operate at the locations or
in the manner in which we have been operating thus far. Moreover, if the regulations governing our business are
amended, we may incur increased costs and be subject to penalties, which could adversely affect our business.
27. We may be adversely affected by the evolving laws and regulations governing our business and the
introduction of any new applicable laws and regulations in the jurisdictions we operate in. Failure to
comply with the existing, and changes to, laws and regulations applicable to our business could
subject our Company to enforcement actions and penalties and otherwise harm our business.
Our business is subject to regulation by various statutory and regulatory authorities in India and globally,
including the MCA, and other authorities responsible for enforcing compliance with privacy and data protection
related laws, foreign investment laws, IP laws, consumer protection laws, anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws
and direct and indirect tax laws. Any failure or alleged failure to comply with the applicable laws, regulations or
requirements could subject us to inspection, audit and enforcement actions by the relevant authority; suspension
and revocation of the relevant license or approval; civil penalties including payment of damages to the aggrieved
party; criminal penalties including payment of fines and imprisonment of concerned directors or employees; and
mandatory conciliation and mediation with the aggrieved party or an inability to carry forward our tax losses. For
55instance, in the past, we (a) had a few instances of delay in submission of the form FC-GPR in contravention of
the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of security by a person resident outside
India) Regulations, 2000, as then applicable and failure to refund the inward remittance on account of non-
allotment of Equity Shares within the period prescribed under the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or
Issue of security by a person resident outside India) Regulations, 2017, as then applicable, and we, subsequently
filed a compounding application with the RBI and the RBI by an order in Fiscal 2022, compounded the same and
directed our Company to pay a compounding fee of ₹29,210 which was paid by our Company; (b) had filed an
application in Fiscal 2022 with the RBI for condonation of delay in relation to filing of annual return on foreign
liabilities and assets for certain Fiscals, and under the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of
security by a person resident outside India) Regulations, 2000. RBI vide its order in Fiscal 2022, condoned the
delay in relation to filing of the annual return subject to payment of ₹30,000 by our Company, which was paid by
our Company; and (c) have filed an application dated July 26, 2022 with the RBI for condonation of delay in
submission of employee stock option filings under the Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of
security by a person resident outside India) Regulations, 2000 which is currently pending.
These and similar actions in the future may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition, cash flows and reputation. In addition, responding to any action or litigation may result in a diversion
of our management’s attention and resources and an increase in professional fees and compliance costs. Further,
the GoI introduced new labor laws relating to social security (Code on Social Security, 2020), occupational safety
(Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020), industrial relations (Industrial Relations
Code, 2020) and wages (Code on Wages, 2019), which were to take effect from April 1, 2021. The GoI has
notified the effective date of implementation of certain provisions of the Code on Wages, 2019 and Code on
Social Security, 2020, it has deferred the effective date of implementation of the other labor laws listed above,
and they shall come into force from such dates as may be notified. The effect of the provisions of these on us and
the litigations involving us cannot be predicted with certainty at this stage.
The laws and regulations governing our business in the jurisdiction we operate in are evolving and may be
amended, supplemented or changed at any time. We are exposed to the risk of varying and evolving interpretation
of complex laws and regulations governing our business in India, the United States and overseas. Certain of these
laws and regulations governing our business are relatively new and evolving, and thus their interpretation and
enforcement may involve uncertainties. As a result, we may be required to seek for and follow additional
procedures, modify or adjust certain activities, obtain new and additional licenses, registrations or authorizations
and incur additional expenses to comply with such laws and regulations, which could adversely affect our future
growth, development and business. See also “- Our business is subject to evolving laws regarding privacy, data
protection and other related matters. Many of these laws are subject to change and could result in claims, changes
to our business practices, monetary penalties, increased cost of operations, or declines in user growth or
engagement, which may harm our business.”
Any unfavorable changes in the applicability, implementation, or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation
of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment laws governing our business and operations could
result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals.
In addition, as the legal and regulatory frameworks in the overseas jurisdictions differ from those in India, we
may not possess the same level of proficiency in interpreting and navigating these regulatory frameworks. We
have incurred, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenses and other costs to comply with the
current and future regulatory framework. The violation of any of these laws or regulations could result in
administrative, civil or criminal penalties or in a cease-and-desist order against our business operations, any of
which could damage our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, sales and results of
operations. Further, changes in the domestic and foreign laws, regulations and policies, as well as changes in
policies relating to foreign trade and investment, may affect our ability to operate and the manner in which we
manage our business in the countries in which we operate.
28. There have been inadvertent inaccuracies in certain of our regulatory filings and we have either lost
or been unable to locate certain of our historical regulatory filings and corporate records. We cannot
assure you that no legal or regulatory actions will be initiated against us in the future in relation to
any such discrepancies/ inconsistencies.
There have been inadvertent factual discrepancies and inconsistencies in certain of the forms filed by our
Company for the purpose of allotment of equity shares, including with respect to:
56• allotment of equity shares under the ESOP – 2007 on December 11, 2009, wherein the number of equity
shares allotted were inadvertently recorded as 5,875 equity shares instead of 5,885 equity shares in the
form filing; and
• allotment of equity shares under the ESOP – 2007 on April 16, 2010, wherein the issued share capital of
our Company was inadvertently recorded as 1,399,049 equity shares instead of 1,399,059 equity shares
in the form filing.
In addition, we have been unable to trace certain of our historic regulatory filings, made with the RoC, namely
the following:
• form 23 filed with respect to the bonus allotment dated October 24, 2000;
• form 23 filed with respect to further issue dated September 12, 2000; and
• form 23 filed with respect to further issue dated March 24, 2004.
Additionally, the letter of offer, acceptance letter and documents evidencing renunciation by the then existing
Shareholders for the rights issue undertaken by our Company on April 15, 2000 and October 31, 2008 are also
not traceable. Further, with respect to the allotment of equity shares pursuant to the ESOP – 2007, for the period
from January 13, 2021, till May 27, 2021, the board resolution for allotment of these equity shares, inadvertently
mentions that the allotment was pursuant to exercise of options under ESOP -2019 instead of ESOP – 2007, and
this was subsequently rectified by our Company. For details, see “Capital Structure – Notes to Capital Structure–
- Share capital history of our Company” on page 96.
We engaged a firm of independent practicing company secretaries, Aabid & Co., Company Secretaries, that
conducted a physical search of the abovementioned records at the offices of the RoC and have issued a report on
such search dated August 4, 2025 (the “RoC Search Report”). However, we have not been able to retrieve such
documents, and accordingly, have relied on the RoC Search Report and other supporting documents available in
our records. For further details, see “Capital Structure – Notes to the Capital Structure – Share capital history of
our Company – The History of Equity Share capital of our Company” on page 96. Further, our Company has sent
a letter dated August 6, 2025 to the RoC, informing them about our inability to trace the corporate records required
to be filed with them. As of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, no regulatory action has been initiated
by any regulatory or statutory authority in respect of the untraceable secretarial and other corporate records.
However, we cannot assure you that no action will be initiated in this regard in the future.
We have, in the past, lost the file containing documents filed by our Company with the RBI, since incorporation
of our Company till June 8, 2012 including form FC-GPRs, RBI’s acknowledgement of receipt of the same, and
certain query letters, approval letters and communications with the RBI by our Company and vice versa, on public
transport. We had filed a complaint with the Andheri Police Station and have been unable to retrieve the
documents from the Foreign Exchange Department as well. Further, we have been unable to trace these documents
despite conducting a search at our Company’s offices. We have requested the authorized dealer bank at the time,
and RBI for a copy of the above-mentioned documents, vide our letters dated August 2, 2025 and August 5, 2025
respectively. Accordingly, reliance has been placed on, and appropriate disclosures have been made in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus pursuant to the due diligence of the other relevant corporate records available with our
Company such as the minutes of the relevant meetings of the Board and Shareholders, as applicable. We are also
unable to trace the form FC-GPR filed for one of the allottees in connection with the allotment made on May 15,
2017 and for another allottee in connection with the allotment made on December 14, 2017 and reliance has been
placed on acknowledgements issued by the RBI in relation to the same. We cannot assure you that such
inaccuracies and non-compliances will not occur in the future and that our Company will not be subject to any
action by statutory and regulatory authorities or imposition of penalties in this respect, which may adversely affect
our business, reputation, results of operations and financial position.
29. Any failure to offer quality maintenance and support services for our clients may harm our
relationships with our clients and, consequently, our business.
Our ability to provide effective client maintenance and support is largely dependent on our ability to attract, train,
and retain qualified personnel with experience in supporting clients. The number of our clients has grown and
that may potentially put additional pressure on our client maintenance and support teams. We may be unable to
respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in client demand for technical or maintenance
support or assistance. If one or more of the members of our client maintenance and support teams are unwilling
57or unable to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them with persons of comparable
skill and expertise promptly or at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results
and prospects. We also may be unable to modify the scope, and delivery of our maintenance services and technical
support to compete with changes in the technical services provided by our competitors. Increased client demand
for maintenance and support services, without corresponding increment in revenue, could increase costs and
negatively affect our operating results and profitability. Our ability to attract new clients is highly dependent on
our business reputation and on positive recommendations from our existing clients. Any failure to maintain high-
quality maintenance and support services or a market perception that we do not maintain high-quality maintenance
and support services for our clients, would harm our business.
30. Certain of our Promoters, our Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, and members of our Senior
Management have interests in our Company in addition to their remuneration and reimbursement of
expenses which may lead them to make decisions that is in their best individual interest which may
not always be in the best interest of the Company.
Certain of our Promoters, our Directors, our Key Managerial Personnel, and members of our Senior Management
are interested in our Company to the extent of (i) the remuneration or perquisites to which they are entitled in
accordance with the terms of their appointment or reimbursement of expenses incurred by them during the
ordinary course of business by our Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) the Equity Shares and employee stock
options held by them and their relatives, if any, including under the MIPs, ESOP - 2019, and 2007 – ESOP and
any dividend payable to them and other benefits arising out of such shareholding; (iii) Equity Shares, held by the
entities in which they or their relatives are associated as partners or trustees or that may be subscribed by or
allotted to the companies, firms, ventures, trusts in which they are interested as promoters, directors, partners,
proprietors, members or trustees, pursuant to the Offer, shareholding in our Subsidiaries and Associate and any
employee stock options held by them (i.e., Srikanth Velamakanni, our Whole-time Director and group chief
executive and executive vice-chairman, Pranay Agrawal, our Non-executive Director (also our Promoters) and
Gavin Echlin Patterson, our Non-executive Director) under the ESOP Schemes; and (iv) directorship and related
benefits in our Subsidiaries. Further, our whole- time director and group chief executive and executive vice-
chairman, Srikanth Velamakanni may be interested to the extent of the remuneration payable to his wife Chetana
Kumar as the chief sustainability officer of our Company and our non-executive director, Gavin Echlin Patterson
may be interested to the extent of the consultancy fees provided to him and Tario Partners LLP, in which he is a
partner, in terms of the consultancy services provided to Fractal UK. Further, one of our Promoters, Chetana
Kumar is also interested in our Company to the extent of the employee stock options held by her under the ESOP
Schemes.
Additionally, Pranay Agrawal, our Non - executive Director and chief executive officer of our Material
Subsidiary, Fractal USA may be interested to the extent of a loan availed by him in his personal capacity from
Fractal USA. While the actions carried out by our Company post-listing will be subject to Board and Shareholder
approval, as necessary under the Companies Act and the Listing Regulations, in the interest of the Company and
its minority Shareholders, we cannot assure you that our respective Promoters (also our Directors), Key
Managerial Personnel and members of our Senior Management may exercise their rights as Shareholders to the
benefit and best interest of our Company or not take or block actions with respect to our business which may
conflict with the best interests of our Company or that of minority Shareholders. For further details of the interests
of our Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel, and members of our Senior Management, other than
reimbursement of expenses incurred or normal remuneration or benefits, see “Our Management – Interest of
Directors”, “Our Management – Interests of Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management” and “Our
Promoters and Promoter Group- Interests of Promoters” on pages 356,368 and 371.
31. Certain Directors of our Company may be associated with ventures which may be engaged in
overlapping line of business that are an alternative to our AI solutions. Any conflict of interest which
may occur between our business and the activities undertaken by such companies, could adversely
affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Certain of our Directors may be associated with companies engaged in ventures which are engaged in the same
line of activity or business as our Company. For instance, our Chairman & Non - executive Director Rohan Haldea
is on board of directors of Thoughtworks Holding, Inc and Infogain Corporation, Non-executive Director, Vivek
Mohan is on board of Altimetrik HoldCo Inc., Independent Director, Neelam Dhawan is on the board of directors
of Tech Mahindra Limited and Karen Ann Terrel is on the board of directors of UiPath Inc. These entities are in
similar lines of business as our Company, including AI solutions which our Company may consider offering in
the future, and there can be no assurance that they will not expand their presence, solicit our employees or acquire
interests in competing ventures in the locations or segments in which we operate. Due to such potential conflicts
58of interest, our Directors may make decisions which may not be in the best interests of our Shareholders and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
32. One of our Promoters, Rupa Krishnan Agrawal, does not possess adequate experience in the industry
in which we operate.
One of our Promoters, Rupa Krishnan Agrawal, does not possess adequate experience in the industry in which
we operate. For further details on our Promoters, please refer to “Our Promoters and Promoter Group” on page
370. We cannot assure you that such lack of experience will not have any adverse impact on our management and
operations.
33. We have entered into, and will continue to enter into, related party transactions that may potentially
involve conflicts of interest and may be subject to additional approvals and compliances under
applicable law.
In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into and will continue to enter into transactions with related
parties. For more details regarding our related party transactions, see “Summary of the Offer Document -Summary
of related party transactions ” on page 23 and “Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Annexure VI –
Note 27 – Related Party Disclosure” on page 424.
While we believe that the above mentioned related party transactions are conducted on an arms’ length basis in
accordance with the Companies Act and other applicable regulations, there can be no assurance that we could not
have achieved more favourable terms if such transactions had not been entered into with related parties.
Furthermore, it is likely that we will continue to enter into related party transactions in the future. All such related
party transactions that we may enter into post-listing, will be subject to our Board or Shareholder approval, as
necessary under the Companies Act and the SEBI Listing Regulations, there cannot be no assurance that such
approvals will be issued to us in a timely manner, or at all. If we do not receive such approvals in a timely manner,
or at all, certain transactions which may be favorable to us may not be executed. We cannot assure you that these
arrangements in the future, or any future related party transactions that we may enter into, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows
and prospects or will perform as expected. Further, any future transactions with our related parties could
potentially involve conflicts of interest that may be detrimental to our Company. There can be no assurance that
we will be able to address such conflicts of interests or others in the future.
34. We have included certain operational metrics and non-GAAP measures related to our operations and
financial performance. These operational metrics and non-GAAP measures may not be comparable
with financial or operational information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other
companies.
Certain operational metrics like Net Revenue Retention, Clients by annual revenue contribution, Client
concentration, Net Promoter Score and Total Employees and non-GAAP measures like EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted PAT, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, PAT Margin, Adjusted PAT Margin,
Adjusted segment results – Fractal.ai segment, Adjusted segment results margin – Fractal.ai segment, Adjusted
segment results – Fractal Alpha segment, Adjusted segment results margin – Fractal Alpha segment, Net Worth,
Return on Net Worth and Net Asset Value per Equity Share have been included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. We compute and disclose such operational and non-GAAP measures as we consider such information
to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, as they are frequently used by securities analysts,
investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of listed companies and are not required by, or
presented in accordance with, Indian accounting standards (“Ind AS”), international financial reporting standards
(“IFRS”) or United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Such supplemental financial
and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against
considering such information either in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our Restated Consolidated
Financial Information as reported under applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. These operational and non-GAAP metrics should not be considered in isolation or construed
as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years or any other measure of financial performance or as an
indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or
financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, IFRS or U.S. GAAP. These operational and non-GAAP
metrics are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by generally accepted accounting
principles and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and operational information of similar
nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other data and analytics companies. For further information,
59see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP
Measures” beginning on page 478.
35. There have been certain instances of delays in the payment of statutory dues by our Company and
Subsidiaries in the past. Any delay in payment of statutory dues by us in future, may result in the
imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our Company’s business, financial
condition, results of operation and cash flows.
Our Company and Subsidiaries are required to pay certain statutory dues, including employee provident fund
contributions under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, professional taxes,
and labour welfare fund. The table below sets forth the details of the statutory dues payable and paid in relation
to the employees of our Company and its Indian Subsidiaries for the fiscal years indicated below:
(in ₹ million)
Fiscal
Nature of Payment 2025* 2024 2023
Employee Provident Fund 516 436 341
Tax deducted at source (on salaries of employees) 1,982 1,526 1,299
Professional Tax 8 7 7
Labour Welfare Fund 1 1 1
*Amounts for the month of March 2025 have been paid subsequent to March 2025
Further, the table below sets out details of instances of delays in the payment of undisputed statutory
dues/liabilities by our Company or its Subsidiaries:
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Number of Amount (₹ Number of Amount (₹ Number of Amount (₹
Instances in million)* Instances in million) * Instances in million) *
Income Tax Nil Nil 2 0 2 1
Provident Fund 1 0 Nil Nil 3 0
Contribution
Labour Welfare Fund Nil Nil 1 1 2 0
Professional Tax Nil Nil Nil Nil 1 0
*Amount denoted as ‘0’ is less than ₹1 million
The reason for delay provided above were primarily due to technical or administrative delays. The above table
excludes instances of delays arising due to issues related to Aadhaar linkage with UAN for which payments were
subsequently made along with applicable interest and penalties.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to pay our statutory dues in a timely manner, or at all, in the future.
Further, although interest has been paid for delays as applicable and no penalties have been levied as of March
31, 2025 by any of the relevant statutory authorities, any delay in payment of statutory dues which may arise in
the future could lead to imposition of financial penalties from the relevant statutory authorities which in turn may
have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and cash flows.
36. We are required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under our financing agreements. Any
non-compliance under these agreements may lead to, amongst others, accelerated repayment
schedules and suspension of further drawdowns, which may adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The table below sets forth our total borrowings and interest expense under effective interest rate method on
financial liabilities at amortised cost - borrowings as of the dates and for the years indicated:
(in ₹ million)
As of and for the year ended March 31,
2025 2024 2023
Total borrowings 2,662 2,501 3,256
Interest expense under effective interest rate method on 255 313 358
financial liabilities at amortised cost - borrowings
We also incurred other borrowing cost of ₹146 million in Fiscal 2025 which primarily related to amortization of
arrangement fee pursuant to loan refinancing, which contributed to an increase in our finance costs in Fiscal 2025.
60Some of the financing arrangements entered into by us include conditions that require our Company to obtain
respective lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain activities and entering into certain transactions. Failure
to meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and
operations. These covenants vary depending on the requirements of the financial institution extending such loan
and the conditions negotiated under each financing agreement. Certain of our secured loans may also permit the
lenders to recall the loan on demand. Some of the corporate actions that require prior consents or intimations to
be made to certain lenders include, amongst others, (a) change or modification in our ownership and/or control,
(b) change in our management, (c) change in the general nature or scope of our business or undertaking of any
new project or expansion, (d) investment in shares, debentures, advances and inter-corporate loans/ deposits to
other companies, (e) the repayment of subordinated loans availed from directors or group companies, if any; (f)
sell, assign, mortgage or otherwise dispose of any fixed assets; (g) entry into any scheme of amalgamation or
reconstruction, and (h) change in the shareholding pattern. In addition, we are required to comply with certain
financial covenants based on debt service coverage ratio and total leverage ratio. While we have received all
relevant consents required for the purposes of this Offer and have been in compliance with these material
covenants, a failure to comply with such covenants in the future may restrict or delay certain actions or initiatives
that we may propose to take from time to time.
A failure to observe the covenants under our financing arrangements or to obtain necessary consents/ waivers
may lead to a variety of adverse consequences including termination of one or more of our facilities, levy of penal
interest, acceleration of amounts due under such facilities and triggering of cross default provisions. Additionally,
lenders under the loan agreements of our uncommitted facilities have the right to review the facilities and can, at
their discretion, cancel the facility as a result of which the entire outstanding amount may become due and payable
by our Company. As at March 31, 2025, we had ₹2,649 million (US$31 million) in such facilities, which are
undrawn. If the obligations under any of our financing documents are accelerated, we may have to dedicate a
portion of our cash flow from operations to make payments under such financing documents, thereby reducing
the availability of cash for our working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. In addition,
during any period in which we are in default, we may be unable to raise, or face difficulties raising, further
financing.
Our ability to meet debt obligations and repay borrowings depends on cash flow from our operations, primarily
from timely payments by clients. Insufficient future cash flow or capital resources, or other factors outside our
control, may force us to sell assets, restructure, or refinance debt, and may lead to a failure to pay our debt
obligations in a timely manner or at all. If we are not in compliance with our covenants or are unable to repay
borrowings on time, and are unable to obtain waivers from the respective lenders, our lenders may call an event
of default, accelerate the repayment of the debt and terminate our credit facilities, and this may also result in
cross-defaults in respect of other loan(s), if any. Any default on our secured borrowings could also lead to our
lenders enforcing their security interests, all of which may have a materially adverse effect on our business, results
of operations, and financial condition. For instance, the facilities availed by Fractal USA have been secured by
way of pledge of 100% of the shares of Fractal USA. Any invocation of the pledge could potentially lead to a
change in control of Fractal USA. For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness - Principal terms of the
facilities available to or utilized by (borrowings) our Company and our Subsidiaries ” on page 490.
37. We may not be able to obtain financing on favourable terms or at all, and any failure to raise needed
funds may impact our liquidity, business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
We may require additional financial resources for our operations, including for any investments or acquisitions
we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our requirements, we may seek to issue
additional equity or debt securities or obtain new or expanded credit facilities. Our ability to obtain external
financing in the future is subject to a variety of uncertainties. Indian companies may be required to complete
filings with the applicable regulatory authorities before the launch of any onshore or offshore debt issuance. These
filing and approval procedures will take time, which may result in our missing the best market windows for debt
or equity issuances in the future. In addition, incurring indebtedness would subject us to increased debt service
obligations and could result in operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Our existing
financing arrangements and indebtedness contain covenants that may restrict our ability to incur additional debt
without consent from our existing lenders. Our ability to access international capital and lending markets may be
restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to do so, especially during times of increased volatility and
reduced liquidity in global financial markets and stock markets, including due to policy changes and regulatory
restrictions, which could limit our ability to raise funds. There can be no assurance that financing will be available
in a timely manner or in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Any failure to raise needed funds at the
appropriate time, on terms favourable to us, or at all, may impact our liquidity as well as have a material adverse
effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
6138. We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our capital expenditure requirements
for purchase of laptops for which we have not entered into any definitive agreement and there may be
delay in placement of such orders.
We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our capital expenditure requirement towards
purchase of laptops. While we have obtained quotations from a vendor in relation to the laptops, we have not
entered into any definitive agreement or raised purchase orders with the vendors and therefore, the estimation of
the purchase price are based solely on such quotations received and remain subject to the execution of the
definitive agreements. For details on the equipment and quotations, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 173.
Accordingly, we are yet to place orders for any of the laptops proposed to be purchased from the Net Proceeds,
comprising laptops with an estimated total value ₹571 million. There can be no assurance that we will be able to
place orders for such equipment in a timely manner or at all, or that the equipment procured would not be at a
higher price or of a differing quality. Further, in the event of any delay in placement of such orders, the proposed
schedule implementation and deployment of the Net Proceeds may be extended or may vary accordingly.
39. We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds for setting up new office premises in India for which
we have not entered into any definitive arrangements and there may be delay in deployment of the Net
Proceeds.
We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds of the Offer for setting up new office premises in India and
proposes to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds, i.e., ₹1,211 million as set forth in “Objects of the Offer” on page
173. The funding requirements mentioned as a part of the objects of the Offer are based on internal management
estimates in view of past expenditures. This is based on current conditions and is subject to change in light of
changes in external circumstances, costs, other financial conditions or business strategies For the above-
mentioned, we have relied on an assessment received from the an architect, Mridusmita Mondal, and the
quotations from Space Matrix Design Consultants Private Limited; however, our Company has not entered into
any definitive agreements with any office owners/contractors/vendors for the purpose of setting up of the office
premises. These quotations are valid until March 31, 2028 and may be subsequently subject to revisions, and
other commercial and technical factors. The deployment of the Net Proceeds will be at the discretion of our Board,
subject to compliance of applicable law.
40. Certain of our Subsidiaries have incurred losses in the last three Fiscals. If they continue to incur
losses, we may be required to continue providing financial support to them which may adversely affect
our consolidated cash flows, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that
our investments will enhance their profitability or yield intended results.
The table below presents the losses of the Subsidiaries shown for the years indicated.
(in ₹ million)
Entity name Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Fractal Analytics Inc., USA 315 (730) (1,886)
Cuddle Artificial Intelligence Private Limited (1) 795 (324)
Theremin AI Solutions Private Limited 25 (23) (129)
Fractal Alpha Private Limited (1) (0) (5)
Senseforth AI Research Private Limited (141) (94) (259)
Analytics Vidhya Educon Private Limited (56) (115) (143)
These subsidiaries incurred losses primarily due to investments in research and development and product support.
In the event these subsidiaries (apart from Fractal USA) continue to incur losses, we may need to provide financial
support which may adversely affect our consolidated cash flows, consolidated results of operations and financial
condition. Fractal USA is our Material Subsidiary, and as a result, we depend on the results of operations and
financial condition of Fractal USA, and in the event that it incurs losses in the future, our consolidated cash flows,
results of operations and financial condition may be negatively affected.
41. We rely primarily on third-party insurance policies to insure our operations-related risks. If our
insurance coverage is insufficient for the needs of our business or our insurance providers are unable
to meet their obligations, we may not be able to mitigate the risks facing our business, which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We procure third-party insurance policies to cover various operations-related risks including commercial general
insurance, standard fire and special perils, burglary insurance and electronic equipment insurance policy. For our
62subsidiaries, in the U.S. in particular, we have obtained commercial general insurance, automobile insurance and
umbrella insurance. For all our global subsidiaries we have obtained cyber and data insurance, commercial general
liability insurance, professional indemnity insurance, commercial crime insurance and country specific statutory
workers’ compensation, employee benefit and keyman insurance. For details in relation to the insurance policies,
please see “Our Business – Insurance” on page 309. For certain types of operations-related risks or future risks
related to our new and evolving AI solutions, we may not be able to, or may choose not to, acquire insurance.
The table below sets forth our insurance cover as a percentage of gross block of property, plant and equipment
for the years indicated:
Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Insured assets (out of gross block of property, plant and 1,329 1,223 1,181
equipment) (₹ million)
Insurance cover as a percentage of gross block of property, 76.7% 76.0% 76.2%
plant and equipment (%)
However, such insurance may not be adequate to cover all losses or liabilities that may arise from our operations.
Our insurance policies contain exclusions and limitations on coverage, and, accordingly, we may not be able to
successfully assert claims for the full amount of any liability or losses. Additionally, there may be various other
risks and losses for which we are not insured because such risks are either uninsurable or not insurable on
commercially acceptable terms. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that in the future we will be able to
maintain insurance of the types or at levels which we deem necessary or adequate or at premiums which we deem
to be commercially acceptable. Furthermore, our claim records may affect the premiums which insurance
companies may charge us in the future. If we are unable to pass the effects of increased insurance costs on to our
clients, the costs of higher insurance premiums could have a material adverse effect on our costs and profitability.
While our insurance claims have not been rejected in the past, some of our insurance claims may be rejected by
the insurance agencies in the future and there can be no assurance that any claim under the insurance policies
maintained by us will be honored fully, in part, or on time. The occurrence of an event for which we are not
insured, where the loss is in excess of insured limits or where we are unable to successfully assert insurance claims
from losses, could result in uninsured liabilities. Any uninsured losses or liabilities could result in an adverse
effect on our business operations, financial conditions and results of operations.
42. We have certain contingent liabilities in our Restated Consolidated Financial Information, which may
adversely affect our financial condition if they materialize.
As of March 31, 2025, our contingent liabilities stood at ₹139 million, which related to claims against us that
have not been acknowledged as debt for income tax matters and goods and service tax matters under appeal.
There can be no assurance that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the future.
Our contingent liabilities may crystallize and become actual liabilities. In the event that any of our contingent
liabilities crystallize, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations may be adversely
affected. For details regarding our contingent liabilities, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information–
Annexure VI – Note 36 – Commitments and contingent liabilities” on page 455, and “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contingent Liabilities” on page 482.
43. Our Statutory Auditor has noted certain observations in auditor’s report under “Report on Other
Legal and Regulatory Requirements” and in their reporting under the Companies (Auditor’s Report)
Order, 2020.
Our Statutory Auditor has noted certain audit observations under “Report on Other Legal Regulatory
Requirements” in their auditor report. For details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information - Annexure
VII – Part B – II” on page 456. Further, our auditor has included certain observations in their reporting under the
Companies (Auditor’s Report) Order, 2020 (CARO 2020). For details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial
Information - Annexure VII – Part B – III” on page 457.
While there has been no material impact of these matters on the results of operations and cash flows in the past,
we cannot assure you that our Statutory Auditor’s reports for any future financial period will not contain similar
matters or other emphasis of matters, adverse remarks, observations or other matters and that such matters will
not otherwise affect our results of operations and cash flows in the future. For further information, see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Auditor
Observations” on page 482.
6344. Our Company will not receive the entire proceeds from the Offer. Some of our Shareholders are
selling Equity Shares in the Offer and will receive proceeds as part of the Offer for Sale.
The Offer includes a Fresh Issue of [●] Equity Shares aggregating up to ₹12,793 million by our Company and an
Offer for Sale of [●] Equity Shares aggregating up to ₹36,207 million by the Selling Shareholders. The proceeds
from the Offer for Sale will be paid to the Selling Shareholders, in proportion to the respective portion of their
Offered Shares (net of their proportion of the Offer-related expenses), and our Company will not receive such
proceeds. For further details, see “Objects of the Offer” and “Other Regulatory and Statutory Disclosures” on
pages 173 and 502.
45. After the completion of the Offer, certain of our existing and future Shareholders may be able to exert
significant influence over our Company which may limit your ability to influence the outcome of
matters submitted for approval of our Shareholders.
Following the completion of the Offer, Apax, OLMO Capital, TPG and our Promoters (along with members of
our Promoter Group) will continue to hold approximately [●]%, [●]% [●]% and [●]% of our post-Offer Equity
Share capital, respectively. Such shareholding could limit our ability to influence corporate matters requiring
Shareholder approval, especially the resolutions which are required to be approved by way of special resolutions
by the Shareholders under the provisions of the Companies Act and the SEBI Listing Regulations. This
concentration of ownership may delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our Company and may make
some transactions more difficult without the support of these Shareholders. In addition, post listing of the
Company pursuant to consummation of the Offer, our Company is required to include necessary resolutions in
the agenda for its first general meeting to provide a right to nominate Directors on the Board to the PA Group,
Apax, TPG and OLMO Capital (as set forth in the Amendment and Waiver Agreement to Fractal Shareholders’
Agreement and amend the Articles of Association of our Company to incorporate the aforesaid right, subject to
receipt of approval by way of a special resolutions of the Shareholders of the Company, as required under
applicable Laws including the SEBI Listing Regulations. For further details on our shareholding pattern and the
right to appoint nominee directors, see “Capital Structure”, and “History and Certain Corporate Matters –
Shareholders’ Agreements and Other Agreements – Shareholders’ Agreements” on pages 95 and 323,
respectively The interests of such Shareholders could conflict with our interests or the interests of our other
Shareholders. While the actions carried out by our Company post-listing will be subject to Board and Shareholder
approval, as required under the Companies Act and the SEBI Listing Regulations, in the interest of the Company
and its minority Shareholders and in compliance with the SEBI Listing Regulations, any such conflict may
adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business.
46. We are potentially subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, financial and
economic sanctions and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to
administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, all of which could adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Our operations are subject to laws and regulations restricting our operations, including activities involving
restricted countries, organizations, entities and persons that have been identified as unlawful actors or that are
subject to U.S. sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), or other international
economic sanctions that prohibit us from engaging in trade or financial transactions with certain countries,
businesses, organizations and individuals. We are also potentially subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-
money laundering, and similar laws and regulations in various jurisdictions in which we conduct or in the future
may conduct activities, including the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, Prevention of Corruption Act,
1988, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and other appliable anti-corruption laws and regulations.
Such laws prohibit us and our officers, directors, employees and business partners acting on our behalf, including
agents, from corruptly offering, promising, authorizing or providing anything of value to a “foreign official” for
the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business or otherwise obtaining favourable
treatment. Such laws also require companies to make and keep books, records and accounts that accurately reflect
transactions and dispositions of assets and to maintain a system of adequate internal accounting controls. A
violation of these laws or regulations could lead to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral
consequences or remedial measures which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and reputation. We operate in many parts of the world that have experienced governmental corruption
to some degree, and, in certain circumstances, strict compliance with anti-bribery laws may conflict with local
customs and practices. While we have implemented a trade controls policy to comply with our sanctions, FCPA,
OFAC, anti-money laundering and anti-bribery obligations, there is no assurance that such instances will not
occur in the future.
64We do not currently have contracts directly with the entities or businesses on the sanctions list and we currently
do not have operations in Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic
or the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic. We continuously review and monitor our contractual relationships
with suppliers and clients to establish whether any are target of the applicable sanctions. In the unlikely event that
our employees identify a party with which we have a business relationship that is the target of applicable
sanctions, our employees shall escalate these to our legal department, which shall conduct investigations
considering all facts and findings. If such clients/third party or transaction is established to be suspicious, our
legal department will report the incidence to our senior management for next steps. However, given the range of
possible outcomes, the full costs, burdens, and limitations on our and our clients’ and partners’ businesses are
currently unknown and may become significant.
Furthermore, even if an entity is not formally subject to sanctions, clients and business partners of such entity
may decide to re-evaluate or cancel engagements with such entity for reputational or other reasons. Depending
on the extent and breadth of sanctions, export controls and other measures that may be imposed in connection
with the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible that our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected.
47. Our Company has issued securities during the preceding one year at a price that may be below the
Offer Price.
Our Company has issued securities during the preceding one year at a price that may be lower than the Offer
Price. The price at which securities were issued by our Company in the preceding one year is not indicative of
the price at which they will be issued or traded after listing. For details on such allotments, see “Capital Structure
– Notes to Capital Structure - Specified securities issued in the preceding one year below the Offer Price” on
page 152.
48. Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus contain information from the Everest Report
which has been commissioned and paid for by us and any reliance on such information for making
an investment decision in this offering is subject to inherent risks.
Certain sections of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus include information based on, or derived from, the Everest
Report or extracts of the Everest Report, prepared by Everest Business Advisory India Private Limited, pursuant
to an engagement with our Company. Certain extracts of the Everest Report can be found in “Industry Overview”
on page 211 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and the Everest Report can be found in its entirety on the
Company’s website at https://fractal.ai/investors-relations. We commissioned and paid for this report for the
purpose of confirming our understanding of the industry in which we operate in connection with the Offer. All
such information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus indicates the Everest Report as its source. Accordingly,
any information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus derived from, or based on, the Everest Report should be
read taking into consideration the foregoing. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on
information as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and
publications may also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove
to be incorrect. The Everest Report highlights certain industry and market data and is subject to various limitations
and is based upon certain assumptions that may be subjective in nature. Methodologies and assumptions vary
widely among different industry sources. Further, such assumptions may change based on various factors. We
cannot assure you that the assumptions made by the Everest Report are correct or will not change and accordingly,
our position in the market may differ from that presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Further, the Everest
Report is not a recommendation to invest/disinvest in any company covered in the Everest Report. Accordingly,
prospective investors should not place undue reliance on or base their investment decision solely on this
information.
49. The valuation reports obtained for acquisitions or divestments of business/undertakings, mergers,
amalgamations, any revaluations of assets, etc. in the last 10 years are based on various assumptions
and may not be indicative of the true value of the subject matter to which they relate.
We have entered into several acquisitions or divestments of business/undertakings, mergers and amalgamations
in the last 10 years, and have obtained valuation reports in connection with certain of these transactions. For more
details, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters” on page 315. Except the valuation report in relation to share
purchase agreement dated May 17, 2021, entered into among our Company, Asper USA and Asper.AI as disclosed
in “History and Certain Corporate Matters- Details regarding material acquisitions or divestments of
business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, any revaluation of assets, etc. in the last 10 years” on page 318,
these valuation reports have been made available as material documents available for inspection. See “Material
65Contracts and Documents for Inspection – Material documents” on page 583. The valuations are subject to certain
assumptions made and conclusions derived which may turn out to be inaccurate or incomplete, which may affect
the valuation of the subject matter of such reports. The valuations are an estimate and not a guarantee, and they
are fully dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions contained in each report. Further, each valuer has
evaluated the suitability of certain methodologies and has followed a particular methodology to arrive at the
valuation. There is no assurance that other methodologies would not have resulted in a different valuation. The
valuation reports do not confer rights or remedies upon investors or any other person, and do not constitute and
should not be construed as any form of assurance as to our financial condition or future performance or as to any
other forward looking statements included therein, including those relating to macro economic factors.
Additionally, the price at which we may be able to sell any of the subject matter of such valuation reports in the
future may be different from the initial acquisition value of such entities. While there has been no material impact
on our Company’s operations and financial performance based on these valuation reports in the past, however,
we cannot assure you that other valuers would arrive at the same valuations. Accordingly, investors should not
rely solely on the valuation reports in making an investment decision to subscribe to or purchase Equity Shares
in the Offer.
50. If we are unable to establish and maintain effective internal controls and compliance systems, our
business and reputation could be adversely affected.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal measures commensurate with the size and
complexity of operations. To this end, we have passed our annual internal financial controls (IFC”) audit under
Company Law of India and we have implemented a compliance monitoring mechanism. Our internal audit
functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems on an ongoing basis so that
our operations adhere to our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We periodically test and
update our internal processes and systems to respond to incidents effectively. We may be exposed to future
operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions
may not be sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances. Moreover, any internal
controls that we may implement, or our level of compliance with such controls, may deteriorate over time, due to
evolving business conditions. In addition, because our risk management and internal control systems are
implemented by our employees, we cannot assure you that such implementation will not involve human error or
mistakes in the future.
We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain
effective internal controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent
financial fraud. As risks evolve and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining
such internal controls requires human diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and
failures that result from human error, which can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss
of investor confidence and a decline in the price of our Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that additional
deficiencies in our internal controls will not arise in the future, or that we will be able to implement and continue
to maintain adequate measures to rectify or mitigate any such deficiencies in our internal controls. Such instances
may also adversely affect our reputation, thereby adversely impacting our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
51. Our offices, including our Registered Office are located on leased premises or in co-working spaces.
If these leases are terminated or not renewed on terms acceptable to us, it could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As of March 31, 2025, we had 27 offices across 10 countries including our Registered Office, all of which are
currently either co-working spaces, held on a lease basis or managed offices. For further information, see “Our
Business – Facilities and Offices ” on page 309. We typically enter into term lease agreements with an option to
renew such term which may be terminated by either parties by giving notice for the period specified in such
agreements. We may not be able to renew or extend these agreements at commercially acceptable terms in timely
manner, or at all. Further, we may be required to re-negotiate rent or other terms and conditions of such
agreements during their currency. We may also be required to vacate the premises at short notice period prescribed
in the lease agreements, in case of material breach of the terms of the agreements, and we may not be able to
obtain alternate location, in a short span of time. Termination of such arrangements, or our failure to renew such
agreements, on favourable conditions and in a timely manner could adversely affect our business, financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations. While we have not faced any instances of difficulties in
negotiating our lease arrangements or premature termination of existing lease agreements that led to any adverse
effect on our business or operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, there can be no assurance that such instances
will not occur in the future. In addition, lease agreements are required to be duly registered and adequately
66stamped under Indian law and if one of our lease agreements is not duly registered and adequately stamped or
registered with the registering authority of the appropriate jurisdiction, we may face challenges in enforcing them
and they may be inadmissible as evidence in a court in India subject to penalties along with the requisite stamp
duty prescribed under applicable Indian law being paid. We may also face similar issues with jurisdictions we
operate in outside of India. Occurrence of any of the above events may have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, any adverse impact on the ownership rights of our
landlords may impede our effective future operations.
52. If the Company is classified as a passive foreign investment company for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, U.S. investors in the Offered Shares may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax
consequences.
A non-U.S. corporation will be classified as a passive foreign investment company (a “PFIC”) for any taxable
year if either: (a) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is “passive income” for purposes of the PFIC rules
or (b) at least 50% of the value of its assets (determined based on the average of the quarter-end values) during
such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose,
passive income includes interest, dividends and other investment income, with certain exceptions. The PFIC rules
also contain a look-through rule whereby a non-U.S. corporation will be treated as owning its proportionate share
of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly
or indirectly, 25 percent or more (by value) of the stock. Based on the current and anticipated composition of the
income, assets and operations of the Company and the value of its assets (including the value of its goodwill,
going-concern value or any other unbooked intangibles which may be determined based on the price of the
Offered Shares), the Company does not expect to be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year. Whether the
Company is treated as a PFIC is a factual determination that is made on an annual basis after the close of each
taxable year. This determination will depend on, among other things, the composition of the Company’s income
and assets, as well as the value of its assets (which may fluctuate significantly with its market capitalization),
from time to time. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be a PFIC for the current
taxable year or for any future taxable year. If the Company is treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which
a U.S. investor held the Offer Shares, such U.S. investor could be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax
consequences and may be subject to additional reporting requirements. We urge U.S. investors to consult their
own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the PFIC rules to the Offered Shares under the U.S.
investor’s particular circumstances.
53. U.S. persons who hold 10% or more of the total voting power or value of the Company may be subject
to U.S. federal income taxation on our undistributed earnings.
In general, a “10% U.S. Shareholder” (as defined below) of a non-U.S. corporation that is a controlled foreign
corporation (“CFC”) at any time during a taxable year must include in its gross income for U.S. federal income
tax purposes its pro rata share of the CFC’s “subpart F income” and “tested income” (with various adjustments)
with respect to any shares that such 10% U.S. Shareholder owns in such non-U.S. corporation (directly or
indirectly through certain entities) on the last day (or, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, during
any period) in the non-U.S. corporation’s taxable year on which it is a CFC, even if the subpart F income or tested
income is not distributed. A “10% U.S. Shareholder” generally is a U.S. person that owns (directly, indirectly
through non-U.S. entities or by attribution by application of the constructive ownership rules of Section 958(b)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (i.e., “constructively”)) at least 10% of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of stock of a non-U.S. corporation. “Subpart F income” of a CFC generally
includes “foreign personal holding company income” (such as interest, dividends and other types of passive
income) and tested income is generally any income of the CFC other than subpart F income and certain other
categories of income. An entity treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally
is considered a CFC if 10% U.S. Shareholders own (directly, indirectly through non-U.S. entities or
constructively), in the aggregate, more than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock
of that non-U.S. corporation or more than 50% of the total value of all stock of that non-U.S. corporation.
Whether the Company is a CFC for a taxable year will depend upon facts regarding our direct and indirect
shareholders, about which the Company has limited information. Accordingly, no assurance can be provided that
the Company will not be a CFC. Further, regardless of whether the Company is a CFC, certain of the Company’s
non-U.S. subsidiaries are treated as CFCs because the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries are treated as constructively
owning the stock of such non-U.S. subsidiaries pursuant to a “downward attribution” rule under current law. This
rule, however, will cease to apply to treat such non-U.S. subsidiaries as CFCs for taxable years beginning after
December 31, 2025. Accordingly, 10% U.S. Shareholders of the Company may be required to include in gross
income for U.S. federal income tax purposes their pro rata shares of all or a portion of the subpart F income and
67tested income generated by the Company and its non-U.S. subsidiaries (with various adjustments), regardless of
whether any distributions are made to such 10% U.S. Shareholders. Any such 10% U.S. Shareholders should
consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules to them.
External Risk Factors
54. We are subject to macroeconomic risks, including financial instability globally, which may cause
increased volatility, including in India.
In recent years, the global financial markets have experienced significant volatility as a result of, among other
things, political uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, including a rise in anti-globalization sentiment. Geopolitical
tensions remain a key concern, with intercountry relations becoming more complex. Recent examples include the
ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the India-Pakistan conflict, the implementation of economic
security-related legislation, sanctions and trade restrictions in various markets, and heightened tensions between
the United States and China as well as other economies. In the US, a range of tariff measures were announced in
2025, and ongoing changes to these tariffs and international responses have resulted in significant volatility in
financial markets and economic uncertainty. For example, in August 2025, the US announced 50% tariffs on India
imports. These tariffs could also increase costs for entities in the US and other countries, including our major
clients, and further disrupt supply chains, adversely affecting their revenue and profit margins. Additionally, our
clients in sectors including CPG, Retail and Technology may experience supply chain disruptions, leading to
lower profits and reduced discretionary spending, although this might be counterbalanced by higher US inflation
potentially resulting in increased outsourcing. Risks to the US fiscal outlook could impact both US and global
markets. Such policies may negatively impact economic activity while pressuring inflation higher and could result
in significant repricing of risk premiums across asset markets. Over the longer term, heightened geopolitical
tensions and continued broader adoption of protectionist measures could lead to further economic fragmentation,
resulting in lower growth potential and higher trend inflation. As the environment gets increasingly complex and
downside risks rise, episodes of volatility in financial markets could be more frequent and severe. Frequent shifts
in global trade and policy are impacting enterprise investment decisions, and these disruptions are delaying
discretionary tech investments, slowing project approvals, and increasing pricing pressure in the DAAI services
market (source: Everest Report). In the near term, new incremental tariffs on the export of technology components
as well as reciprocal tariffs by counterparts are expected to dampen service demand due to tighter spending and
broader economic strain, limiting access to AI-enabling infrastructure such as semiconductors and compute, with
effects varying across industries (source: Everest Report).
In addition, the relationship between the United States and foreign governments, including India, could be subject
to sudden fluctuation and periodic tension. Changes in political conditions in foreign countries and changes in the
relations between the United States and other countries, particularly India, are difficult to predict and could
adversely affect our operations or cause our business or potential target businesses or their goods and services to
become less attractive.
Persistent inflationary pressures, tightening monetary policies, ongoing tariff discussions, and geopolitical
tensions (such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Hamas war) can impact the spending appetite of
enterprises in digital services (Source: Everest Report), all of which can in turn affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Furthermore, the Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in
other countries, including conditions in the United States, Europe, and certain emerging economies in Asia. Any
worldwide financial instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and, directly or
indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and us. Financial instability in other parts of
the world (including any emerging economy) could also have a global influence and thereby negatively affect the
Indian economy. Furthermore, the escalation of trade wars could lead to services being included in tariff
calculations, with potential tariffs imposed by the US on our services. China, being one of India's major trading
partners, presents rising concerns of a possible slowdown in its economy and strained relations with India, which
could adversely impact trade relations between the two countries. These developments, or the perception that any
related developments could occur, have and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic
conditions and financial markets, significantly reducing global market liquidity, restricting the ability of key
market participants to operate in certain financial markets, or limiting our access to capital. This could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation, cash flows and reduce the
price of the Equity Shares.
6855. Natural disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, armed conflict, terrorist attacks, civil
unrest and other events in the locations in which we operate could materially and adversely affect our
business.
Natural disasters (such as typhoons, flooding and earthquakes), epidemics, pandemics, man-made disasters,
including acts of war, terrorist attacks and other events, many of which are beyond our control, may lead to
economic instability, including in India or globally, which may in turn materially and adversely affect our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Our operations may be adversely affected by
fires, natural disasters and/or severe weather, which can result in damage to our property, plant and equipment
and generally reduce our productivity and may require us to evacuate personnel and suspend operations. Any
terrorist attacks or civil unrest as well as other adverse social, economic and political events in India could have
a negative effect on us. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies
involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the price of the Equity
Shares.
In particular, the COVID-19 outbreak had disrupted the operations of our clients, including as a result of travel
restrictions, business shutdowns, uncertainty in the financial markets or other harm to their business and financial
results, may lead to a reduction in information technology budgets, delayed purchasing decisions, longer sales
cycles, extended payment terms, and postponed or cancelled engagements, and may adversely impact our
business. The increase in remote working may result in increased client privacy, data security, and fraud risks,
and our understanding of applicable legal and regulatory requirements, as well as any latest guidance from
regulatory authorities in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, may be subject to legal or regulatory
challenges, particularly as regulatory guidance evolves in response to future developments. For example, in Fiscal
2022, we uncovered that a few employees who held full-time positions and were on the payrolls of our Company
had taken side assignments to earn extra income, breaching the terms of their employment. Subsequently we
terminated their employment with immediate effect. While, we believe these are one-off events, if such
malpractices become rampant, it could lead to serious productivity consequences and a breach of client trust in
the long term. In addition, during the COVID-19 related lockdowns, restrictions on travel had impacted our ability
to assign and deploy people at required locations and times to deliver contracted services, thereby impacting our
revenue and/or profitability.
While we have not had such instances in the past, we may not be effective at preventing or mitigating the effects
of prolonged or multiple crises, such as civil unrest, military conflict and a pandemic in a concentrated geographic
area.
There is no assurance that COVID-19 or other pandemic of similar scale would not recur, and the impact on our
business are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. The impact of any recurrence of COVID-19 or other
pandemic would depend on the severity of the virus, spread of new strains of such virus, the scope and duration
of the pandemic, recovery period, future actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic,
precautionary measures to be adopted, the effects on our clients, counterparties, employees and third-party service
providers and the actions taken globally to contain such virus or treat its impact, among others, any of which
could harm our business and results of operations.
Furthermore, war or other armed conflict may also adversely affect our operations. For example, on February 24,
2022, Russian military forces invaded Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely in the
foreseeable future. While we have limited operations in Kyiv, Ukraine, where we had approximately 50 staff in
Ukraine as of March 31, 2025, we have not experienced any material interruptions in our infrastructure, supplies,
technology systems or networks needed to support our operations, we have no way to predict the progress or
outcome of the conflict in Ukraine or its impacts in Ukraine as the conflict, and any resulting government
reactions, are rapidly developing and beyond our control. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions
and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have impact on the global economy
and our business for an unknown period of time. Any of the above mentioned factors could affect our business,
financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, it is possible that third parties, such as our clients and
suppliers may be impacted by events in Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East, or other armed conflicts globally,
which could adversely affect our operations.
56. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including the withdrawal of certain
benefits or adverse application of tax laws, may adversely affect our business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by any change in the
69extensive central and state tax regime globally applicable to us and our business. Tax and other levies imposed
by the central and state governments in India that affect our tax liability, include central and state taxes and other
levies, income tax, turnover tax, goods and service tax, stamp duty and other special taxes and surcharges, which
are introduced on a temporary or permanent basis from time to time. This extensive central and state tax regime
is subject to change from time to time. The final determination of our tax liability involves the interpretation of
local tax laws and related regulations in each jurisdiction, as well as the use of estimates and assumptions
regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned, and
expenditures incurred.
We cannot assure you that the relevant regulatory authorities will not make any material tax demands in the future
which could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and the price of
the Equity Shares. The Government of India has announced the union budget for the Financial Year 2026 (the
“Budget”), pursuant to which the Finance Act, 2025 has amended the Income-tax Act, 1961, including the capital
gains tax rates with effect from the date of announcement of the Budget. We have not fully determined the effects
of these recent and proposed laws and regulations on our business. There is no certainty on the impact of the
Budget on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations or on the industry in which we operate. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors and to
carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in our Equity Shares
The Government introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Wages Code”); (b) the Code on Social Security,
2020 (“Social Security Code”); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and
(d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labor
legislations. Except certain portions of the Wages Code, which have come into force pursuant to notification by
Ministry of Labor and Employment, the rules for implementation under such codes are yet to be notified.
The U.S. House of Representatives has recently passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Investors are
advised to consult their own tax advisers and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning,
investing or trading in the Equity Shares. There is no certainty on the impact that OBBBA may have on our
business and operations or on the industry in which we operate.
Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations
including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being
deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. Uncertainty in
the applicability, interpretation or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation
or policy, including by reason of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be
time consuming as well as costly for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict
our ability to grow our business in the future.
57. A downgrade in ratings of India, may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
India’s sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to various factors, including changes in tax or fiscal policy
or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves, which are outside our Company’s control. Any adverse revisions
to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies may adversely impact
our ability to raise additional financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such financing
is available, including raising any overseas additional financing. A downgrading of India’s credit ratings may
occur, for reasons beyond our control such as, upon a change of government tax or fiscal policy. This could have
an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms or at all, and consequently adversely affect
our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.
58. Political changes could adversely affect economic conditions in the US, India and other countries in
which we operate.
We are incorporated in India and the majority of our assets are located in India, while we derive the majority of
our revenue from operations overseas. Consequently, our performance and the market price of the Equity Shares
may be affected by interest rates, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability and other political
and economic developments affecting India and the other countries in which we operate, including the US. Our
business results depend on a number of general macroeconomic and demographic factors across the globe which
are beyond our control. In particular, our revenue and profitability are strongly correlated to consumer
discretionary spending, which is influenced by general economic conditions, unemployment levels, the
availability of discretionary income and consumer confidence.
70Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy and the economies in the other countries in which we
operate and hence our results of operations and cash flows, may include, among others, (i) the macroeconomic
climate, including any increase in interest rates or inflation; (ii) any exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of
currency controls and restrictions on the right to convert or repatriate currency or export assets; (iii) any scarcity
of credit or other financing in any country in which we operate, resulting in an adverse effect on economic
conditions in such country and scarcity of financing for our expansions; (iv) prevailing income conditions among
consumers and companies in countries in which we operate; (v) volatility in and actual or perceived trends in
trading activity on, principal stock exchanges in the countries in which we operate; (vi) changes in tax, trade,
fiscal or monetary policies of any country in which we operate; (vii) political instability, terrorism or military
conflict in the countries in which we operate or globally; (viii) prevailing regional or global economic conditions,
including in principal export markets in which we operate; (ix) international business practices that may conflict
with other customs or legal requirements to which we are subject to in the countries in which we operate, including
anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws; (x) protectionist and other adverse public policies, including local content
requirements, import/export tariffs, increased regulations or capital investment requirements; (xi) logistical and
communications challenges; (xii) difficulty in developing any necessary partnerships with local businesses on
commercially acceptable terms or on a timely basis; and (xiii) being subject to the jurisdiction of foreign courts,
including uncertainty of judicial processes and difficulty enforcing contractual agreements or judgments in
foreign legal systems or incurring additional costs to do so. Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian
economy and the economies, or in specific sectors of the economies of the other countries in which we operate,
could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition and the price of the
Equity Shares.
59. If inflation rises in the United States, in India or in the countries we operate in, increased costs may
result in a decline in profits.
Inflation rates in the United States, in India and in the countries, we operate in have been volatile in recent years,
and such volatility may continue. In addition, India has experienced high inflation relative to developed countries
in the recent past. Increasing inflation in India could cause a rise in the costs of rent, wages, raw materials and
other expenses. High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult for us to accurately estimate or
control our costs. Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may not be able to
adequately pass on to our clients, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business and financial
condition. If we are unable to increase our revenues sufficiently to offset our increased costs due to inflation, it
could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Further, the GoI has previously initiated economic measures to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear
whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that Indian inflation levels will not
worsen in the future.
60. Differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as IFRS and U.S. GAAP,
which may be material to investors’ assessments of our financial condition, result of operations and
cash flows.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Information for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus are derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under the Ind AS,
in each case restated in accordance with the requirements of Section 26 of part I of the Companies Act, 2013, the
SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Guidance Note on “Reports in Company Prospectus (Revised 2019)” issued by
the ICAI. Ind AS differs from accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar, such as
IFRS and U.S. GAAP. If our Restated Consolidated Financial Information were to be prepared in accordance
with such other accounting principles, our results of operations, cash flows and financial position may be
substantially different. Accordingly, the degree to which the Restated Consolidated Financial Information
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the
reader’s level of familiarity with Ind AS. Persons not familiar with Ind AS should limit their reliance on the
financial disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
61. Our business and activities may be regulated by global anti-trust laws and proceedings may be
enforced against us.
We are subject to global anti-trust laws. Failure to comply with such regulations could adversely impact our
reputation, business and results of operations. It could also result in material fines for the Company. Specifically
in India, the Competition Act prohibits any anti-competition agreement or arrangement, understanding or action
in concert between enterprises, whether formal or informal, which causes or is likely to cause an appreciable
adverse effect on competition in India. Any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves
71the determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical
development, investment or provision of solutions, shares the market or source of production or provision of
solutions in any manner by way of allocation of geographical area, type of goods or services or number of clients
in the relevant market or in any other similar way or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging or collusive
bidding is presumed to have an appreciable adverse effect on competition.
The combination regulation (merger control) provisions under the Competition Act require acquisitions of shares,
voting rights, assets or control or mergers or amalgamations that cross the prescribed asset and turnover based
thresholds to be mandatorily notified to, and pre-approved by, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”).
Additionally, the Competition Commission of India (Procedure in regard to the transaction of business relating
to combinations) Regulations, 2011, sets out the mechanism for implementation of the merger control regime in
India. Any breach of the provisions of Competition Act, may attract substantial monetary penalties. All
agreements entered into by us could be within the purview of the Competition Act. Further, the CCI has extra-
territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive conduct or combination occurring outside of India
if such agreement, conduct or combination has an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. However,
the effect of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with
certainty at this stage. We are not currently party to any outstanding proceedings, nor have we ever received any
notice in relation to non-compliance with the Competition Act. Any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI
in future, or any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI may affect our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
62. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to
attract foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Accordingly, our ability to raise foreign capital may be constrained by Indian law.
As an Indian company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies. Further,
under applicable foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents
and residents are freely permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if
they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified under applicable law. If a transfer
of shares is not in compliance with such requirements and fall under any of the exceptions specified by the RBI,
then the RBI’s prior approval is required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Indian Rupee proceeds
from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-
objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. We cannot assure you that any
required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be obtained on any particular terms, or at
all. In terms of Press Note 3 of 2020, dated April 17, 2020, issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry
and Internal Trade (“DPIIT”), the foreign direct investment (“FDI”) policy has been recently amended to state
that all investments under the FDI route by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the
beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will require prior
approval of the GoI. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future FDI in an entity in
India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview,
such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the GoI. Furthermore, on April
22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, GoI has also made similar amendment to the Foreign Exchange Management
Act (“FEMA”) Rules. While the term “beneficial owner” is defined under the Prevention of Money-Laundering
(Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005 and the General Financial Rules, 2017, neither the FDI policy nor the
FEMA Rules provide a definition of the term “beneficial owner”. The interpretation of “beneficial owner” and
enforcement of this regulatory change involves certain uncertainties, which may have an adverse effect on our
ability to raise foreign capital. Further, there is uncertainty regarding the timeline within which the said approval
from the GoI may be obtained, if at all.
63. We are and after this offering may remain, a “foreign owned and controlled” company in accordance
with the Consolidated FDI Policy and FEMA Rules and accordingly, we shall be subject to Indian
foreign investment laws.
In accordance with the provisions of the Consolidated FDI Policy and FEMA Rules, we are a foreign owned and
controlled company. As a foreign owned and controlled company, we are subject to various requirements under
the Consolidated FDI Policy and other Indian foreign investment laws. Such requirements include restriction on
undertaking certain business activities without prior GoI approval or at all and pricing guidelines applicable to
offer or transfer of our Equity Shares. While we believe that our business activities were and continue to remain,
compliant with the requirements under the Consolidated FDI Policy and other Indian foreign investment laws, we
cannot assure you that the GoI, or a regulatory or judicial authority, will not take a different interpretation. A
determination by the GoI, or a regulatory or judicial authority, that any of our business activities are being, or
72were, conducted in violation of the Consolidated FDI Policy and other applicable Indian foreign investment laws,
would attract regulatory sanctions, including monetary penalties. In such an event, we may also have to cease
undertaking the relevant business activities. Further, till the time we continue to be a foreign owned and controlled
company, we may not be able to undertake certain commercially attractive business activities or investments
without prior approval of the GoI or at all.
64. Subsequent to the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to surveillance measures, such as
the Additional Surveillance Measures and the Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock Exchanges
in order to enhance the integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of investors.
Subsequent to the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to Additional Surveillance Measures (“ASM”)
and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchanges. These measures are in place to enhance
the integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of investors. The criteria for shortlisting any security trading
on the Stock Exchanges for ASM is based on objective criteria, which includes market based parameters such as
high low price variation, concentration of client accounts, close to close price variation, market capitalization,
average daily trading volume and its change, and average delivery percentage, among others. Securities are
subject to GSM when its price is not commensurate with the financial health and fundamentals of the issuer.
Specific parameters for GSM include net worth, net fixed assets, price to earnings ratio, market capitalization and
price to book value, among others. Factors within and beyond our control may lead to our securities being subject
to GSM or ASM. In the event our Equity Shares are subject to such surveillance measures implemented by any
of the Stock Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in connection with trading of our
Equity Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month)
or freezing of price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity
Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the development of an active trading market for our Equity Shares.
Risks Related to this Offering
65. The Offer Price of our Equity Shares and our price-to-earnings ratio may not be indicative of the
trading price of our Equity Shares upon listing on the Stock Exchanges subsequent to the Offer and,
as a result, you may lose a significant part or all of your investment.
While our market capitalization is subject to the determination of the Offer Price, which will be determined by
our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs through the book building process, the table below provides the
details of our price to earnings ratio for Fiscal 2025:
Particulars Price to earnings ratio*
Fiscal 2025 [ □ ]
*Considering the Offer Price to be updated in Prospectus.
Further, our Offer Price, our price to earnings ratio and ratios disclosed in “Basis for Offer Price” beginning on
page 189 would depend on the various factors included in the section mentioned therein. Accordingly, any
valuation exercise undertaken for the purposes of the Offer by our Company in consultation with the BRLMs,
would not be based on a benchmark. The relevant financial parameters on the basis of which Price Band will be
determined, have been disclosed under “Basis for Offer Price” on page 189 and shall be disclosed in the price
band advertisement.
66. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price
of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares upon listing on
the Stock Exchanges.
The determination of the Price Band, is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by our
Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers. Furthermore, the Offer Price of the Equity
Shares will be determined by our Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers through the
Book Building Process. These will be based on numerous factors, including those described under “Basis for
Offer Price” on page 189, and may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares upon listing on the
Stock Exchanges. The price of our Equity Shares upon listing on the Stock Exchanges will be determined by the
market and may be influenced by many factors outside of our control. For further details, see “ – Our Equity
Shares have never been publicly traded, and after the Offer, the Equity Shares may experience price and volume
fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop. Further, the Offer Price may
not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer.” on page 74. Further, the current market
price of securities listed pursuant to certain previous initial public offerings managed by the Book Running Lead
73Managers is below their respective issue prices. For further details, see “Other Regulatory and Statutory
Disclosures – Price information of past issues handled by the Book Running Lead Managers” on page 512.
67. We cannot assure payment of dividends on the Equity Shares in the future.
Our Company has not declared dividends on the Equity Shares since incorporation. While our declaration of
dividends is at the discretion of our Board and subject to Shareholder’s approval, subject to the provisions of the
AoA and applicable law, including the Companies Act as set out “Dividend Policy” on page 374. The amount of
future dividend payments by our Company, if any, will depend upon, among others, our Company’s profits earned
and available for distribution or losses incurred during the Financial Year, internal accruals and accumulated
reserves including retained earnings, mandatory transfer of profits earned to specific reserves, such as debenture
redemption reserve, etc., if any, net profits earned or losses incurred during Financial Year, cash flows, current
and projected cash balances and our working capital requirements, debt repayment schedules, fund requirement
for contingencies and unforeseen events with financial implications, regulatory changes, state of economy and
any other relevant factors and material events. Our Company may decide to retain all of its earnings to finance
the development and expansion of its business and therefore, we may not declare dividends on the Equity Shares.
Additionally, we may, in the future, be restricted under the terms of our loan agreements to make any dividend
payments unless otherwise agreed with our lenders in case of occurrence of an event of default, and we may, in
the future, be subject to such restrictions as well. While we have not experienced any negative equity which
prevents us from paying dividend, we cannot assure you that we will be able to pay dividends on the Equity
Shares at any point in the future. Further, our Subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities, having no
obligation to pay dividends and may be restricted from doing so by law or contract, including applicable laws,
charter provisions and the terms of their financing arrangements. We cannot assure you that our Subsidiaries will
generate sufficient profits and cash flows or otherwise be able to pay dividends to us in the future.
68. Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and after the Offer, the Equity Shares may
experience price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may
not develop. Further, the Offer Price may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares
after the Offer.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and while our Equity Shares are expected
to trade on NSE and BSE after the Offer, an active trading market on the Stock Exchanges may not develop, be
sustained or be liquid after the Offer, or if such trading or liquidity develops, there can be no assurance that it will
continue. If an active trading market does not develop, you may have difficulty selling any of our Equity Shares
that you buy. The determination of the Offer Price will be based on various factors and assumptions, and will be
determined by our Company, in consultation with the BRLMs through the Book Building Process and may not
be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares at the time of commencement of trading of the Equity
Shares or at any time thereafter. The Offer Price will be based on numerous factors, as described in the section
“Basis for Offer Price” on page 189. Further, there are no listed companies in India that engage in a business
similar to that of our Company and our Subsidiaries. Accordingly, it is not possible to provide an industry
comparison in relation to our Company. The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant
fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results, market conditions specific to
the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, volatility in securities markets in jurisdictions other
than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in revenue or earnings estimates by
research publications, announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic
alliances, joint operations or capital commitments, announcements by third parties or governmental entities of
significant claims or proceedings against us, new laws and governmental regulations or changes in laws and
governmental regulations applicable to our industry, including market conditions specific to the industry we
operate in, additions or departures of key management and changes in economic and legal and other regulatory
factors. Consequently, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your Equity
Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all, and may as a result lose all or a part of your investment.
In addition, the stock market often experiences price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or
disproportionate to the operating performance of a particular company. Recent stock run-ups, divergences in
valuation ratios relative to those seen during traditional markets, high short interest or short squeezes, and strong
and atypical retail investor interest in the markets may also impact the demand for and price of our shares that are
not directly correlated to our operating performance. On some occasions, our stock price may be, or may be
purported to be, subject to “short squeeze” activity. A “short squeeze” is a technical market condition that occurs
when the price of the stock increases substantially, forcing market participants who have taken a position that its
price would fall (i.e. who had sold the stock “short”), to buy it, which in turn may create significant, short-term
demand for the stock not for fundamental reasons, but rather due to the need for such market participants to
74acquire the stock in order to forestall the risk of even greater losses. A “short squeeze” condition in the market
for a stock can lead to short-term conditions involving very high volatility and trading that may or may not track
fundamental valuation models. As a result of these fluctuations, our Equity Shares may trade at prices significantly
below the Offer Price. These broad market fluctuations and industry factors may materially reduce the market
price of the Equity Shares, regardless of our Company’s performance. There can be no assurance that the investor
will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
69. In the event that our Net Proceeds to be utilised towards inorganic growth initiatives are insufficient
for the cost of our proposed inorganic acquisition, we may have to seek alternative forms of funding.
We propose to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds for funding inorganic growth through acquisitions, and other
strategic initiatives, subject to (a) the cumulative amount to be utilised for general corporate purposes and our
object of ‘Funding inorganic growth through unidentified acquisitions and other strategic initiatives’ shall not
exceed 35% of the amount raised by our Company, and (b) the amount to be utilised for our object of ‘Funding
inorganic growth through unidentified acquisitions and other strategic initiatives’ shall not exceed 25% of the
amount raised by our Company, as set forth in the section “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 173. Further,
we intend to deploy the Net Proceeds towards acquisitions over the course of three Fiscals from the date of listing
of the Equity Shares pursuant to the Offer, and the actual deployment of funds will depend on a number of factors,
including the timing, nature, size and number of initiatives undertaken, as well as general factors affecting our
results of operation, financial condition and access to capital. We will from time to time continue to seek attractive
inorganic opportunities that will fit well with our strategic business objectives and growth strategies, and the
amount of Net Proceeds to be used for acquisitions will be based on our management’s decision. The amounts
deployed towards such initiatives may not be the total value or the cost of such acquisitions or investments,
resulting in a shortfall in raising requisite capital from the Net Proceeds towards such acquisitions or investments.
Consequently, we may be required to explore a range of options to raise requisite capital, including utilizing our
internal accruals or raising additional debt.
70. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds of the Offer have not been
appraised by a bank or a financial institution and if there are any delays or cost overruns, our
business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, any
variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements,
including prior shareholders' approval.
We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds for (i) prepayment and/or scheduled repayment of outstanding borrowings
availed by Fractal USA; (ii) purchase of laptops; (iii) Setting up new office premises in India; (iv) investment in
(a) research and development and (b) sales and marketing (under Fractal Alpha); and (v) funding inorganic growth
through unidentified acquisition and other strategic initiatives and general corporate purposes. For details, see
"Objects of the Offer" on page 173. The objects of the Offer have not been appraised by any bank, financial
institution or independent party. Whilst a monitoring agency will be appointed, for monitoring utilization of the
Net Proceeds, the planned use of the Net Proceeds is based on current conditions, our business plans and internal
management estimates and is subject to changes in external circumstances, costs, other financial conditions or
business strategies. Based on the competitive nature of our industry, we may have to revise our business plan and/
or management estimates from time to time and consequently our funding requirements may also change. These
estimates may be inaccurate, and we may require additional funds to implement the purposes of the Offer. Our
internal management estimates may exceed fair market value or the value that would have been determined by
third-party appraisals, which may require us to reschedule or reallocate our engagement and capital expenditure
and may have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Accordingly, at this stage, we cannot determine with any certainty if we will require the Net Proceeds to meet
any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of the competitive environment, business conditions,
economic conditions or other factors beyond our control. Any delay in our schedule of implementation may cause
us to incur additional costs. Such time and cost overruns may adversely impact our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
In accordance with Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the
utilization of the Net Proceeds or in the terms of any contract as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus
without obtaining the Shareholders' approval through a special resolution. In the event of any such circumstances
that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilization of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain
the Shareholders' approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such Shareholders'
approval may adversely affect our business or operations. In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake
variation of objects of the Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the terms of any
75contract referred to in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, even if such variation is in our interest. This may restrict
our ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilized portion
of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of any contract, which may adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
Various risks and uncertainties, such as economic trends and business requirements, competitive landscape, as
well as general factors affecting our results of operations, financial condition and access to capital and including
those set forth in this section, may limit or delay our efforts to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth
in our business. For example, our growth initiatives and expansion plans could be delayed due to failure to receive
regulatory approvals, technical difficulties, human capital, technological or other resource constraints, or for other
unforeseen reasons, events or circumstances. Further, we may not be able to attract personnel with sufficient skills
or sufficiently train our personnel to manage our expansion plans. Accordingly, use of the Net Proceeds for other
purposes identified by our management may not result in actual growth of our business, increased profitability or
an increase in the value of our business and your investment.
71. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income or capital gains arising on the sale of
the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares
are generally taxable in India. Any capital gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognized stock
exchange held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to long-term
capital gains tax in India at the specified rates depending on certain factors, such as the quantum of gains, and
any available treaty relief, among others. Any capital gain realized on sale of listed equity shares on a recognized
stock exchange held for not more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to
short term capital gains tax.
Further, the Government of India announced the union budget for Fiscal 2026, following which the Finance Bill,
2025 (“Finance Bill”) was introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 1, 2025. Investors are advised to consult
their own tax advisers and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in
the Equity Shares. There is no certainty on the impact that the Finance Act may have on our business and
operations or on the industry in which we operate. Uncertainty in the applicability, interpretation or
implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of
an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time-consuming as well as costly
for us to resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our business in
the future. Additionally, the Union Cabinet, Government of India has recently approved the revised Income Tax
Bill, 2025 which inter alia, proposes to amend the income tax regime and replace the Income Tax Act, 1961.
There is no certainty on the impact of the revised Income Tax Bill, 2025, once enacted, on tax laws or other
regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or on the industry
in which we operate.
Pursuant to amendments notified by the Finance Act (No.2) Act, 2024 (“Finance Act 2024 II”), long-term capital
gains exceeding the exempted limit of ₹125,000 arising from the sale of listed equity shares on the stock exchange
are subject to tax at the rate of 12.5% (plus applicable surcharge and cess), without benefit of indexation. Further,
any capital gains realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less immediately
preceding the date of transfer will be subject to short-term capital gains tax at the rate of 20% (plus applicable
surcharges and cess) for transfers taking place after July 23, 2024. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) will be
levied both at the time of transfer and acquisition of equity shares (unless exempted) and such STT is collected
by an Indian stock exchange on which our Equity Shares are sold.
Any gain realized on the sale of our Equity Shares other than on a recognized stock exchange (where no STT has
been paid), will also be subject to short-term capital gains tax or long-term capital gains tax, at such rates as may
be applicable under the Income Tax Act. Further, capital gains arising from the sale of our Equity Shares will be
exempt from taxation in India in cases where an exemption is provided under a treaty between India and the
country of which the seller is a resident, subject to certain conditions being met. Subject to any relief available
under an applicable tax treaty or under the laws of their own jurisdictions, residents of other countries may be
liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdictions on gains arising from a sale of our Equity Shares.
Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisers to understand their tax liability as per the laws prevailing
on the date of disposal of Equity Shares.
The Finance Act, 2019 amended the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 with effect from July 1, 2020 and clarified that, in
the absence of a specific provision under an agreement, the liability to pay stamp duty in case of sale of securities
76through stock exchanges will be on the buyer, while in other cases of transfer for consideration through a
depository, the onus will be on the transferor. The stamp duty for transfer of securities other than debentures on
a delivery basis is specified at 0.015% and on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration
amount.
The Finance Act, 2020, has, inter alia, amended the tax regime, including a simplified alternate direct tax regime
and that dividend distribution tax will not be payable in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a
domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, that such dividends not be exempt in the hands of the
shareholders, and that such dividends are likely to be subject to tax deduction at source. Further, pursuant to the
Finance Act 2024 II, any payment received by the shareholders from the Company pursuant to buyback of shares
undertaken after October 1, 2024 on account of buy back of shares shall be taxable as dividend and no deduction
from such dividend income shall be allowed.
Investors should consult their own tax advisers about the consequences of investing or trading in the Equity
Shares. Further, we cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act 2024 II or any
subsequent legislation may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing laws, rules and regulations, or the promulgation of new
laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and
operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for
additional approvals.
72. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares
they purchase in the Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws and practice, certain
actions in relation to the Offer must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity
Shares may commence. Investors’ book entry, or ‘demat’ accounts with depository participants in India, are
expected to be credited within one working day of the date on which the Basis of Allotment is approved by the
Stock Exchanges. The Allotment of Equity Shares in this Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the
applicant’s demat account with a depository participant could take approximately five Working Days from the
Bid Closing Date and trading in the Equity Shares upon receipt of final listing and trading approvals from the
Stock Exchanges is expected to commence within three Working Days of the Bid Closing Date. There could be
a failure or delay in listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining the
approval or otherwise commence trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’ ability to dispose of their
Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or
that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could
also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched
or demat credits are not made to investors within the prescribed time periods.
73. Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”) and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to
withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage
after submitting a Bid, and Retail Individual Investors are not permitted to withdraw their Bids after
Bid/Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are required to pay the Bid Amount
on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity
Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids
during the Bid/Issue Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid/Offer Closing Date, but not thereafter. While our
Company is required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity
Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed including Allotment pursuant
to the Offer within three Working Days from the Bid/Offer Closing Date or such other timeline as may be
prescribed under applicable law, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including
material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions,
our business, results of operation or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and
Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such
events limit the Bidders’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price
of the Equity Shares to decline on listing. Therefore, QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders will not be able to
withdraw or lower their bids following adverse developments in international or national monetary policy,
financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or otherwise at any
stage after the submission of their Bids.
7774. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of
other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity
of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may
differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law,
including in relation to class action, may not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the
laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder in
an Indian company than as shareholders of an entity in another jurisdiction.
75. Investors may have difficulty in enforcing foreign judgments against our Company or our
management.
Our Company is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of India. Five out of nine Directors on
our Board and certain Key Managerial Personnel and members of our Senior Management are foreign residents.
A portion of our Company’s assets and the assets of our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel and members
of our Senior Management are located in India. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of
process upon us or such persons outside India or to enforce judgments obtained against our Company or such
parties outside India.
India is not a party to any international treaty in relation to the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments.
The United Kingdom, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong have been declared by the GoI to be
reciprocating territories for purposes of Section 44A of the Civil Code. Section 44A of the Civil Code provides
that where a foreign judgement has been rendered by a superior court, within the meaning of such section, in any
country or territory outside of India which the GoI has by notification declared to be in a reciprocating territory,
it may be enforced in India by proceedings in execution as if the judgement had been rendered by the relevant
court in India. However, Section 44A of the Civil Code is applicable only to monetary decrees not being of the
same nature as amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges of a like nature or of a fine or other penalties.
Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do not have reciprocal recognition with India, such as United
States cannot be enforced by proceedings in execution in India. A final judgement for the payment of money
rendered by any court in a non-reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the
general laws of the non-reciprocating territory, would not be enforceable in India. Even if an investor obtained a
judgement in such a jurisdiction against us, our officers or directors, it may be required to institute a new
proceeding in India and obtain a decree from an Indian court.
However, the party in whose favour such final judgement is rendered may bring a new suit in a competent court
in India based on a final judgement that has been obtained in the United States or other such jurisdiction within
three years of obtaining such final judgement. It is unlikely that an Indian court would award damages on the
same basis as a foreign court if an action is brought in India. Moreover, it is unlikely that an Indian court would
award damages to the extent awarded in a final judgement rendered outside India if it believes that the amount of
damages awarded were excessive or inconsistent with public policy or Indian law. In addition, any person seeking
to enforce a foreign judgement in India is required to obtain the prior approval of the RBI under the FEMA to
execute such a judgement or to repatriate any amount recovered.
76. Holders of Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under
Indian law and could thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India is required to offer holders
of its equity shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of equity shares to maintain
their existing ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights
have been waived by the adoption of a special resolutions by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares who
have voted on such resolutions. However, if the laws of the jurisdiction that you are located in does not permit
the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us filing an offering document or registration statement with the
applicable authority in such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights unless we make
such a filing. We may elect not to file a registration statement in relation to pre-emptive rights otherwise available
by Indian law to you. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the
Equity Shares, you may suffer future dilution of your ownership position and your proportional interests in us
would be reduced.
7877. Any future issuance of Equity Shares or convertible securities or other equity linked securities by our
Company may dilute your shareholding and sales of the Equity Shares by our Promoters or any other
major Shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to raise additional capital and finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future
issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by our Company,
including issuance of Equity Shares to employees or former employees upon exercise of vested options held by
them under the Schemes, may dilute your shareholding. Any such future issuance of Equity Shares or future sales
of the Equity Shares by our Promoters or any of our significant Shareholders or any other change in our
shareholding structure to comply with minimum public shareholding norms applicable to listed companies in
India or any public perception regarding such issuance or sales may also adversely affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares and impact our ability to raise funds through an offering of our securities or by incurring debt. Any
perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of the Equity
Shares. Additionally, the disposal, pledge or encumbrance of the Equity Shares by any of our Promoters or any
significant Shareholders, or the perception that such transactions may occur, may affect the trading price of the
Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that we will not issue further Equity Shares or that our existing
Shareholders including our Promoters, will not dispose of further Equity Shares after the completion of the Offer
(subject to compliance with the lock-in provisions under applicable law) or pledge or encumber their Equity
Shares. Any future issuances could also dilute the value of shareholder’s investment in the Equity Shares and
adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Such securities may also be issued at prices below the
Offer Price. We may also issue convertible debt securities to finance our future growth or fund our business
activities.
78. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover
provisions under Indian law.
There are certain provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter, or prevent a future takeover or change in control
of our Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to
the market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types
of transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations,
an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or
voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these
provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected, these provisions
may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a
potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market
price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be
attempted or consummated because of the SEBI Takeover Regulations.
79. Your ability to acquire and sell Equity Shares is restricted by the distribution and transfer restrictions
set forth in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
No actions have been taken to permit a public offering of the Equity Shares in any jurisdiction, other than India.
As such, the Equity Shares have not and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, any state securities
laws or the law of any jurisdiction other than India. Further, the Equity Shares are subject to restrictions on
transferability and resale. You are required to inform yourself about and observe these restrictions. We, our
representatives and our agents will not be obligated to recognize any acquisition, transfer or resale of the Equity
Shares made other than in compliance with the restrictions set forth herein.

(x) Details of Lock-In
Pursuant to Regulations 14 and 16 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, an aggregate of 20% of the fully diluted post-
Offer Equity Share capital of our Company held by our Promoters (assuming full conversion of the outstanding
Preference Shares into Equity Shares and exercise of all vested options) shall be considered as minimum
promoters’ contribution and locked-in for a period of 18 months or any other period as may be prescribed under
applicable law, from the date of Allotment (“Minimum Promoters’ Contribution”).
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus our Promoters hold in aggregate 28,695,195* Equity Shares
which constitutes 18.00%** of the subscribed and paid-up share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis
pre-Offer (including Equity Shares which will result upon conversion of Preference Shares). Since, post-Offer,
155the shareholding of our Promoters will be less than 20% of the post-Offer Equity Share capital of our Company,
which is less than the requisite shareholding required for complying with minimum promoters’ contribution,
therefore, in accordance with Regulation 14 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, Shareholder of our Company, GLM
Family Trust, has agreed to contribute towards the shortfall in the Minimum Promoters’ Contribution by way of
their consent letter in the following manner:
*Of the 8,131,360 Equity Shares, Pranay Agrawal is currently the registered owner of 3,332,940 Equity Shares (in
dematerialized form) which constitutes 1.98% of the pre-Offer Equity Share capital of our Company on a fully diluted basis,
with the beneficial owner being the Agrawal Family Trust. Pranay Agrawal will transfer the registered ownership of these
Equity Shares to the Agrawal Family Trust, upon the said trust having opened a demat account in its name.

GLM Family Trust August 12, 2025 [●]*
Note: To be updated prior to filing of the Prospectus with the RoC.
* Subject to finalization of Basis of Allotment
The aforementioned Equity Shares are collectively referred to as the “PC Shortfall Shares”. (Numbers have been
intentionally left blank and will be filled in once the Offer Price is finalized in the Prospectus to be filed with the
RoC).
GLM Family Trust has agreed to contribute towards the shortfall in the Minimum Promoters’ Contribution on the
basis that, among others:
(a) the PC Shortfall Shares will be locked-in only for a period of 18 months from the date of Allotment; and
(b) more than 50% of the proceeds from Offer from the Fresh Issue in the Offer shall not be utilized by the
Company for capital expenditure purposes, and in the event of any change in the objects of the Offer
resulting in more than 50% of the proceeds from Offer from the Fresh Issue in the Offer being utilized
by our Company for capital expenditure purposes, the Company shall obtain our prior written consent of

Pursuant to a resolution dated August 8, 2025 passed by our Board, our Company has approved the utilisation of
the Net Proceeds for the Objects, in accordance with the aforementioned schedule of implementation and

The fund requirements and actual deployment of funds will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing
market conditions, exchange rate fluctuations, our Board’s analysis of economic trends and business requirements,
competitive and regulatory landscape, current business plan, internal management estimates, current and valid
quotations from the vendors which are subject to change in the future, certain other commercial and technical

Our fund requirements are based on internal management estimates, current circumstances of our business plan
and the prevailing market conditions, which may be subject to change. Our fund requirements described herein
have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other independent agency. For further details,
please see “Risk Factors – Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds of the Offer

acquisitions; and (b) general corporate purposes, not exceeding 25% of the Gross Proceeds. Further, in case of a
shortfall in meeting the aforementioned Objects, we may explore a range of alternate funding options including
utilizing our internal accruals and availing future debt from lenders. For further details, see “Risk Factors – In the
event that our Net Proceeds to be utilised towards inorganic growth initiatives are insufficient for the cost of our
proposed inorganic acquisition, we may have to seek alternative forms of funding ” on page 75.
In the event the Net Proceeds are not utilized (in full or in part) for the Objects during the period stated above due
to factors such as (i) the timing of completion of the Offer; (ii) market conditions outside the control of our

means of finance, excluding the amount to be raised from the Net Proceeds or through existing identifiable internal
accruals. In case of a shortfall in the Net Proceeds or any increase in the actual utilisation of funds earmarked for

Details of the Objects
(1) Investment in one of our Subsidiaries, Fractal USA, for pre-payment and/ or scheduled repayment in
full or, in part of its borrowings
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fractal USA is engaged in the business of providing services with respect to
advanced analytics, including as a solution provider, and providing management and consulting services in the
artificial intelligence space. Fractal USA’s total income for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 and its contribution to
the total income of our Company are as follows:

Company
Fractal USA has availed a term loan of USD 32 million (equivalent to ₹2,675 million) by way of an agreement
dated September 26, 2024, to refinance its outstanding indebtedness availed under the credit agreement dated as
of December 21, 2021 (the “Term Loan”). Our Company proposes to utilize an estimated amount of ₹2,649
million from the Net Proceeds, as below, towards pre-payment and/ or scheduled repayment in full or, in part of
the amount outstanding under the Term Loan.
Our Company proposes to infuse funds received from the Net Proceeds into the wholly-owned Subsidiary, Fractal
USA through equity.
The prepayment/ repayment of the Term Loan availed by Fractal USA will help reduce the outstanding
indebtedness of Fractal USA and our Company (at a consolidated level), reduce debt servicing costs, improve our
debt-to-equity ratio, and enable utilization of our accruals for further investment in our business growth and
expansion. In addition, we believe that since our debt-equity ratio will improve, it may enable us to raise further
resources at competitive rates and additional funds/ capital in the future to fund potential business development
opportunities.
Further, Fractal USA may prepay the Term Loan or replace the Term Loan with loan(s) from one or more financial
institutions in the ordinary course of business prior to filing of the Red Herring Prospectus. Given the nature of
the Term Loan and the terms of scheduled repayment/ prepayment, the aggregate outstanding borrowing amounts
may vary from time to time.

177(2) Purchase of laptops
We aim to purchase laptops to aid in the running of our business. We have in the past invested, and continue to
invest, in our information technology equipment and infrastructure in order to improve our efficiency and meet
changing customer requirements and expectations. We propose to purchase laptops from a portion of the Net

make and model depending upon its requirements. If there is any increase in the costs of the laptops, the additional
costs shall be paid by our Company from its internal accruals. For details, please see “Risk Factors – We intend
to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds for funding our capital expenditure requirements for purchase of laptops”
on page 62.

investments by us will be subject to compliance with the provisions of applicable law in India and of the respective
geographies.
(a) Research and Development
We have a suite of AI products hosted on Cogentiq, which are built for industry-specific as well as cross-industry
use cases, as of March 31, 2025. We have a structured R&D approach, where we carefully evaluate potential
investments and their viability. Our R&D investments are classified based on two key factors, (i) breadth of the
problem to be solved, and (ii) revenue generating visibility. This two-tier approach helps us invest effectively in
near-term and long-term technological advancements.
181We established our “Fractal Sciences” program in 2012 to strengthen our R&D creation and to cater AI demand.
We incubated various AI solutions under Fractal Sciences such as Concordia, Trial Run and Customer Genomics
(now Cogentiq Campaign Assist and Cogentiq Sales Assist) to address problems frequently faced by enterprises.
In addition, we built our own foundation models –Vaidya.ai (medical multi-modal foundation model ecosystem
consisting of LLMs, VLMs and medical reasoning systems) and Fathom-R1-14B (open source large reasoning
foundation model). We are investing further in developing reasoning capabilities in foundation models by (a)
creating Project Ramanujan, initiative for creating reasoning models as a part of which we created a mathematical
large reasoning model; and (b) we are also advancing multi-agentic digital organization like ‘Pioneer’ to
streamline and enhance the software development life cycle (SDLC) and for autonomous data science problem
solving.
We developed our own Gen AI stack in Fiscal 2023 and introduced new Gen AI solutions as well as incorporated
Gen AI into several of our other existing AI products including Cogentiq Business Insights (formerly known as
Crux Intelligence) and Cogentiq Campaign Assist and Cogentiq Sales Assist (formerly a part of Customer
Genomics). Based on our R&D efforts we launched consumer-facing Gen AI products which are accessible by
the public on the eponymous webpages MarshallGoldsmith.ai, Kalaido.ai, our Gen AI powered text-to-image
generator that operates across multiple Indian languages, and Vaidya.ai, our Gen AI powered publicly accessible

divestments of business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, any revaluation of assets, etc. in the last 10 years”
on page 318.
Rationale for future inorganic initiatives
The actual deployment of funds will depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to the timing, nature,
size and number of initiatives undertaken, as well as general factors affecting our results of operation, financial
condition and access to capital. We continue to selectively pursue acquisitions and investments of various types
and scale with the aim of advancing our strategic, operational, or financial objectives. These may include
increasing our client centricity, enhancing our capabilities, building operational, functional and domain expertise
across industries we currently operate in or may look to operate in. We may identify and evaluate potential targets
for strategic investments, based on factors, like (a) strategic fit with our existing businesses or potential extensions,
(b) incremental/new capabilities to serve clients, (c) expertise in the geographies, domain and markets we operate
in or wish to expand into; and (d) strengthening our team, talent and capabilities.
Acquisition Process
The typical framework and process followed by us for acquisitions involves identifying the strategic acquisitions
based on the criteria set out above, entering into requisite non-disclosure agreements and conducting diligence of
184the target. On satisfactory conclusion of the diligence exercise, we enter into definitive agreements to acquire
stake or invest in the target based on the approval of our Board and the Shareholders, as may be required.
As on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, however, we have not entered into any definitive agreements
towards any future acquisitions or strategic initiatives for this Object. The proposed inorganic investments or
acquisitions shall be undertaken either by the Company directly or through any of its subsidiaries in accordance
with the applicable laws, including the Companies Act, FEMA and the regulations notified thereunder, as the case
may be. In the event that any such acquisition is undertaken through a subsidiary, the Company will infuse funds
into the relevant subsidiary in a manner that will be determined at the time of such investment and in accordance
with applicable law.
The amount of Net Proceeds to be used for each individual acquisition and/ or investments will be based on our
management’s decision and may not be the total value or cost of any such investment but is expected to provide
us with sufficient financial leverage to pursue such investments. The actual deployment of funds will also depend
on a number of factors, including the timing, nature, size and number of acquisitions undertaken in a particular
period, as well as general factors affecting our results of operation, financial condition and access to capital. These
factors will also determine the form of investment for these potential acquisitions, i.e., whether they will be in the
form of equity, debt or any other instrument or combination thereof, or whether these will be in the nature of asset
or technology acquisitions or joint ventures. Acquisitions and inorganic growth initiatives may be undertaken as
share-based transactions, including share swaps, or a combination thereof, or be undertaken as cash transactions.
At this stage, our Company cannot identify any acquisition targets and whether the form of investment will be
through equity, debt or any other instrument or combinations thereof.
(b) General corporate purposes
The Net Proceeds will first be utilised for the Objects as set out above. Subject to this, our Company intends to
deploy the balance Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes and the business requirements of our
Company, as approved by the Board, from time to time, provided that (i) such utilisation for general corporate
purposes not exceeding 25% of the amount being raised in the Offer; and (ii) the cumulative amount to be utilized
towards general corporate purposes and funding inorganic growth through acquisitions and other strategic
initiatives shall not exceed 35% of the amount being raised in the Offer, in compliance with the SEBI ICDR
Regulations.

limitation, (i) meeting ongoing general corporate contingencies and exigencies and business requirements of our
Company, (ii) expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business; (iii) employee and other personnel expenses;
(iv) brand building and other marketing expenses; (v) working capital of our Company or our Subsidiaries; and
(v) any other purpose, as may be approved by our Board or a duly constituted committee thereof from time to
time, subject to compliance with applicable law, including provisions of the Companies Act.
The allocation or quantum of utilisation of funds towards the specific purposes described above will be determined
by the Board, based on our business requirements and other relevant considerations (including applicable law),
from time to time. Our management, in accordance with the policies of the Board, shall have the flexibility in
utilising surplus amounts, if any.

Companies Act, 2013 in the ratio of 1:4 (for every one equity share four bonus shares were issued) to all equity shareholders with
equity shares on July 29, 2025 as approved by shareholders. Consequently, assuming conversion of CCPS into Equity Shares,
4,523,604 outstanding CCPS will be converted into 22,618,020 Equity Shares in accordance with the terms of the shareholder
agreement. The weighted average number of shares for the year ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 have
been adjusted to reflect the impact of the above.
6. Comparison of accounting ratios with listed industry peers
There are no listed companies in India or globally which operate in a similar business model as ours. Our
Company is a leading pure-play enterprise data, analytics, and AI company, recognized globally, with
capabilities across the DAAI value chain. It is placed uniquely among the other industry players, with
active investments in expanding its AI and Gen AI software portfolio and R&D capabilities.
Our Company occupies a distinctive competitive position and differentiates itself from the other Industry
players across segments as follows:
When compared to the industry players providing diversified IT services:
• These industry players offer a broader suite of services beyond DAAI, including IT, cloud,
cybersecurity, and ERP services, among others.
• While some diversified IT service providers have built strong DAAI services capabilities and
have invested in AI and Gen AI software, they hold relatively fewer patents per 1,000 employees
and have not reported any Gen AI foundation model development.
191When compared to the industry players providing pure-play DAAI services:
• These industry players primarily operate as services firms, delivering bespoke DAAI services
and solutions. Many such entities show strong DAAI services maturity in a few specialized
functions or industries but may lag in others.
• Across the industry players set as above, there is limited presence of Gen AI-specific software
and foundation models. Further, DAAI-specific patent filings are minimal compared to our
Company.
When compared to specific product-focused industry players:
• These industry players derive a significant portion of their revenue from licensed AI software
with services primarily tied to these offerings. In contrast, our Company complements its
product portfolio with standalone DAAI services.
• Two industry players have reported a high number of patents per 1,000 employees and
significant R&D spending. However, our Company has differentiated itself by developing four
Gen AI foundation models – a capability not reported by any other Industry player in the group.

200ANNEXURE I
STATEMENT OF POSSIBLE SPECIAL TAX BENEFITS AVAILABLE TO FRACTAL ANALYTICS
LIMITED (“THE COMPANY”) AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS UNDER THE APPLICABLE DIRECT AND
INDIRECT TAXES (“TAX LAWS”)
Outlined below are the Possible Special Tax Benefits available to the Company and its shareholders under the
Tax Laws. These Possible Special Tax Benefits are dependent on the Company and its shareholders fulfilling the
conditions prescribed under the Tax Laws. Hence, the ability of the Company and its shareholders to derive the
Possible Special Tax Benefits is dependent upon fulfilling such conditions, which are based on business
imperatives it faces in the future, it may or may not choose to fulfill.
UNDER THE TAX LAWS
1. Special tax benefits available to the Company
i) Direct Taxes
a. Lower corporate tax rate under section 115BAA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘the Act’)
The Taxation Laws (Amendment) Act, 2019 introduced section 115BAA wherein domestic
companies are entitled to avail a concessional tax rate of 22% (plus applicable surcharge and
cess) on fulfillment of certain conditions. The option to apply this tax rate was available from
Financial Year (‘FY’) 2019-20 relevant to Assessment Year (‘AY’) 2020-21 and the option
once exercised shall apply to subsequent AYs. The concessional rate is subject to a company
not availing any of the following deductions under the provisions of the Act:
• Section10AA: Tax holiday available to units in a Special Economic Zone.
• Section 32(1)(iia): Additional depreciation;
• Section 32AD: Investment allowance.
• Section 33AB/3ABA: Tea coffee rubber development expenses/site restoration
expenses
• Section 35(1)/35(2AA)/ 35(2AB): Expenditure on scientific research.
• Section 35AD: Deduction for capital expenditure incurred on specified businesses.
• Section 35CCC/35CCD: expenditure on agricultural extension /skill development.
• Chapter VI-A except for the provisions of section 80JJAA and section 80M.
The total income of a company availing the concessional rate of 25.168% (i.e., 22% along with
surcharge and health and education cess) is required to be computed without set-off of any
carried forward loss and depreciation attributable to any of the aforesaid deductions/incentives.
A company can exercise the option to apply for the concessional tax rate in its return of income
filed under section 139(1) of the Act. Further, provisions of Minimum Alternate Tax (“MAT’)
under section 115JB of the IT Act shall not be applicable to companies availing this reduced tax
rate, thus, any carried forward MAT credit also cannot be claimed.
The provisions do not specify any limitation/condition on account of turnover, nature of
business or date of incorporation for opting for the concessional tax rate. Accordingly, all
existing as well as new domestic companies are eligible to avail this concessional rate of tax.
We understand that the Company has opted for section 115BAA of the IT Act for the financial
year 2024-25 (AY 2025-26).
b. Deduction in respect of inter - corporate dividends section 80M of the Act
Up to 31st March 2020, any dividend paid to a shareholder by a company was liable to Dividend
201Distribution Tax (“DDT”), and the recipient shareholder was exempt from tax. Pursuant to the
amendment made by the Finance Act, 2020, DDT stands abolished, and dividend received by a
shareholder on or after 1st April, 2020 is liable to tax in the the hands of the shareholder. The
Company is required to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (“TDS”) at applicable rate specified
under the Act read with applicable Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (if any).
With respect to a resident corporate shareholder, a new section 80M has been inserted in the IT
Act to remove the cascading effect of taxes on inter-corporate dividends during FY 2020-21
and thereafter. The section provides that where the gross total income of a domestic company
in any previous year includes any income by way of dividends from any other domestic
company or a foreign company or a business trust, there shall, in accordance with and subject
to the provisions of this section, be allowed in computing the total income of such domestic
company, a deduction of an amount equal to so much of the amount of income by way of
dividends received from such other domestic company or foreign company or business trust as
does not exceed the amount of dividend distributed by it on or before the due date. The “due
date” means the date one month prior to the date for furnishing the return of income under sub-
section (1) of section 139 of the IT Act.
We understand that the Company has not availed the benefit of section 80M for the Financial
Year 2024-25 (Assessment Year 2025-26).
c. Deduction in respect of employment of new employees – Section 80JJAA of the IT Act.
Subject to fulfilment of prescribed conditions specified in subsection (2) of Section 80JJAA of
the Act, the Company is entitled to claim deduction, under the provisions of Section 80JJAA of
the IT Act, of an amount equal to thirty per cent of additional employee cost (relating to
specified category of employees) incurred in the course of business in the previous year, for
three assessment years including the assessment year relevant to the previous year in which such
employment is provided.
We understand that the Company has not availed the benefit of section 80JJAA for the Financial
Year 2024-25 (Assessment Year 2025-26).
ii) Indirect Taxes
A. Under the Special Economic Zone Act (SEZ), 2005, following indirect tax benefits are available to
the Company subject to fulfilment of specified conditions and procedures prescribed under the
relevant legislations:

2. Treasury Regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury
208ANNEXURE II
Statement of Special Tax Benefit available to Material Subsidiary under tax laws of the United States of
America
A. Direct Tax Laws
1. Consolidated US Federal Tax Return:
IRC Section 1501
Privilege to file a consolidated tax return with respect to the US federal income tax imposed by Chapter
1 of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), under Code section
1501, in lieu of separate federal US income tax returns for each relevant US corporation is available to
the Company. For certain purposes, such consolidated filing permits the various members of the
consolidated group to be treated as a single entity for income tax purposes.
2. Global Intangible Low Taxed Income Deduction:
IRC Section 951A & Sec 250
The Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) Deduction is a key component of the tax reforms
introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017. Its purpose is to address the issue of U.S.
multinational corporations shifting profits to foreign subsidiaries in low-tax jurisdictions. The deduction
under IRC Section 951A and Section 250 is designed to reduce the tax burden on foreign earnings that
qualify as GILTI, making the U.S. tax system more competitive with international tax regimes.
The Material Subsidiary and its foreign subsidiaries are classified as Controlled Foreign Corporations
("CFCs"). As part of the Consolidated U.S. Group, each CFC’s GILTI is included in the group's gross
income on an annual basis. This GILTI income is subject to the standard 21% U.S. Federal Corporate
Income Tax rate.
Under Section 250, The Material Subsidiary and its foreign subsidiaries may be eligible for a 50%
deduction on their GILTI income inclusion each year, which effectively reduces the U.S. tax rate on
GILTI to 10.5%
3. Foreign Tax Credit:
The Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) is a U.S. tax benefit designed to prevent double taxation on income that
is taxed both by a foreign country and by the U.S. government. If a U.S. entity pays taxes to a foreign
government on income earned abroad, the FTC allows that entity to offset its U.S. tax liability by
claiming a credit for the foreign taxes paid. If the FTC exceeds the U.S. tax liability in a given year, the
entity may carry the unused portion back one year or forward up to 10 years.
This can be a significant advantage for the Material Subsidiary, as it reduces the possibility of double
taxation on international earnings.
FTC in the US for 80% of foreign taxes paid or accrued on the above-referenced net GILTI inclusion
under Section 951A is available to the Material Subsidiary.
4. Bonus Depreciation – IRC Section 168(k)
The Material Subsidiary may be eligible for a 100% deduction of the cost of qualifying tangible property,
provided the property has a useful life of 20 years or less, as additional depreciation for property placed
in service between 2018 and 2022.
The deduction rate will decrease to 80% in 2023, then to 60% in 2024, 40% in 2025, and 20% in 2026.
After 2026, the deduction will expire unless extended by legislation in future.
5. Consolidated/Combined State Tax Returns:
Code Section / Ruling: Various state laws
209Privilege to file a consolidated/combined state tax return in various jurisdictions with respect to the
income tax imposed by various state laws is available to the Material Subsidiary.
B. Indirect Tax Laws
There are no possible special indirect tax benefits available to the Material Subsidiary.
Notes:
These Annexure sets out the possible special tax benefits available to the Material Subsidiary, in the United States
of America.
No assurance is given that revenue authorities or courts will concur with the views expressed herein. Our views
are based on the existing provisions of law and applicable interpretations thereof, which are subject to change
from time to time. We do not assume responsibility to update the views subsequent to such changes.
This statement covers only certain possible special tax benefits, read with the relevant rules, regulations, and
guidance in force in the United States. This statement also does not discuss any tax consequences in any country
outside the United States, of an investment in the shares of a United States entity.
The above statement of possible special tax benefits is as per the current tax laws and several of these benefits are
dependent on Material Subsidiary or its shareholders satisfying the conditions prescribed under the relevant
provisions of the Code and/or other applicable law.
This Annexure is intended only to provide general information to investors and is neither designed nor intended
to be a substitute for professional tax advice. In view of the individual nature of tax consequences, each investor
is advised to consult his/her own tax advisor with respect to specific tax arising out of their participation in the
Offer.

million-robots-ai-foundation-model
214Enterprises are meeting their digital services requirements in two ways – either through in-house teams or by
relying on third-party service providers – and the choice typically depends on the following considerations.
Retained with in-house teams: The business’ core services, including those that require domain contextualization
and those that may pose risks around governance, quality, and security, are typically retained internally.
Third-party service providers: Enterprises typically offload services to access superior talent, scale quickly and
on demand, access pre-built solutions/Intellectual Property (IP)/tools/accelerators, deepen ecosystem
relationships, learn best practices, acquire domain expertise, and achieve cost efficiencies.
Certain enterprises may choose to keep all processes in-house to maintain tight control, ensure greater alignment
with enterprise priorities, and protect their key technologies, while others may opt to keep only core IP-related
processes in-house, outsourcing non-core functions to third-party providers for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

The impact of DeepSeek
DeepSeek, a China-based AI start-up founded in 2023, gained prominence by enhancing reasoning capabilities in
AI through Reinforcement Learning (RL). Its initial breakthrough, DeepSeek-R1-Zero, was trained entirely via
RL, bypassing traditional supervised fine-tuning. This was followed by DeepSeek-R1, which further demonstrated
how AI systems could develop advanced reasoning autonomously. By achieving high performance with reduced
computational requirements, DeepSeek introduced a shift in model development, offering more efficient and
adaptable AI systems that can be deployed at scale.
These innovations are expected to impact the DAAI services market in the following ways:
• Enhanced deployment flexibility across industries: Unlike proprietary models from OpenAI, Google, and
Anthropic. DeepSeek models are released under an open-source license, enabling developers to
customize and deploy them based on specific business needs. This allows organizations to implement
the models on premises, in private clouds, or within secure data centers, enhancing data privacy and
reducing dependency on third-party platforms. The result is greater customization, lower operational
costs, and broader AI accessibility AI across industry segments.
• Improved decision-making and advanced reasoning: Reasoning models, first introduced with OpenAI’s
o1 model, address complex problems through structured, step-by-step analysis. DeepSeek-R1 enhances
this approach by integrating chain-of-thought reasoning with RL, allowing models to refine their logic
through trial and error. This training approach incorporates feedback to iteratively improve model
performance, supporting the development of specialized capabilities by allowing models to adapt to the
specific decision-making patterns and complexities of workloads across different sectors. The rise of
LRMs has impacted industries such as BFSI, HLS, and manufacturing increasingly demand domain-
specific reasoning capabilities. For instance, Tiger Brokers integrated DeepSeek-R1 into its AI assistant,
TigerGPT, to help users evaluate stock valuations and identify trading opportunities, demonstrating the
224model’s practical application in enhancing decision support16. With the introduction of hybrid reasoning
models such as Anthropic Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which can switch between rapid responses and deeper
chain-of-thought analysis within a single system, users can achieve both speed and enhanced reasoning
depth, further improving complex workflows.
• Driving cost-effective and scalable AI solutions: DeepSeek’s models use techniques such as Mixture of
Experts (MoE) and multi-head attention, activating only relevant model parameters for each task. This
architecture enables smaller, high-performing models with lower computational overheads, reducing
infrastructure demands. Consequently, businesses, including smaller enterprises, can access advanced AI
capabilities, promoting wider adoption of DAAI services even in cost-sensitive or infrastructure-limited
environments.
• Enhanced real-time data processing: By combining RL with reasoning frameworks, DeepSeek models
are optimized for dynamic data environments, including streaming data and real-time analytics. Their
architecture supports fast, autonomous data interpretation, which is useful in scenarios such as fraud
detection, real-time audits, and rapid healthcare diagnostics. Decentralized deployment can further
enable localized data processing, minimizing latency and enhancing responsiveness across use cases.
• Fragmentation risks in the AI ecosystem: While DeepSeek’s open-source approach encourages
innovation, it also introduces risks related to ecosystem fragmentation. With multiple organizations
customizing the model, inconsistencies in performance, compatibility, and interoperability may arise.
These challenges highlight the need for standardized deployment frameworks and best practices to ensure
reliability and coherence across enterprise implementations.
• Concerns over ethical AI and data sovereignty: DeepSeek has faced scrutiny over its data sourcing
practices, including allegations of unauthorized use of training data from platforms such as OpenAI.
These concerns raise broader questions about data ownership, bias, and transparency, particularly in
regulated sectors such as finance and healthcare. The open-access nature of DeepSeek also increases the
risk of malicious misuse, including cyberattacks or unauthorized surveillance. Cybersecurity risks such
as exposed endpoints or model-serving vulnerabilities underscore the need for robust safeguards.

formulating best practices for AI-related initiatives to help enterprises and government entities ensure that bias
does not creep into AI models. This trend is particularly relevant for Gen AI, as its ability to create new content
heightens concerns about potential misuse.
The EU AI Act, effective from August 2024, sets a global precedent by establishing a comprehensive legal
framework for AI and classifies AI applications into different risk categories, with stricter requirements for high-
risk systems, such as facial recognition. The regulation mandates transparency, human oversight, and rigorous
testing for high-risk AI, while prohibiting certain applications, such as social scoring and real-time biometric
surveillance, which are deemed incompatible with fundamental rights. By adopting a risk-based approach, the EU
aims to foster innovation responsibly, protect citizens from potential harm, and establish a trusted environment
for AI deployment across sectors.
South Korea is also actively shaping its AI landscape with a proposed AI Act, which promotes responsible AI
development and use, including measures for data protection, transparency, and accountability.
Exhibit 15 depicts key AI-related regulations and frameworks across geographies.
229The high regulatory impositions pose risks related to enterprise branding and hefty fines due to lawsuits, or in
some cases lengthy litigation processes even when the outcome is favorable. Some notable examples are:
• In December 2023, a leading newspaper company, claiming damages in billions, sued a major Gen AI
company for copyright infringement19.
• In September 2024, the Dutch Data Protection Authority fined a facial recognition company for building

257Based on the above exhibit, Fractal occupies a distinctive competitive position and differentiates itself from
industry players across segments as follows:
When compared to benchmarked industry players providing diversified IT services:
• These players offer a broader suite of services beyond DAAI, including IT, cloud, cybersecurity, and
ERP services, among others.
• While some diversified IT service providers have built strong DAAI services capabilities and have
invested in AI and Gen AI software, they hold relatively fewer patents per 1000 employees and have not
reported any Gen AI foundation model development.
When compared to benchmarked industry players providing pure-play DAAI services:
• These industry players primarily operate as services firms, delivering bespoke DAAI services and
solutions. Many such entities show strong DAAI services maturity in a few specialized functions or
verticals but may lag in others.
• Across the above industry player set, Gen AI-specific software and DAAI-specific patents are minimal
when compared to Fractal. Further, these players have not reported the development of any foundational
models
• Fractal distinguishes itself by offering its solutions such as Vaidya.ai, Kalaido.ai, and
MarshallGoldsmith.ai directly to consumers (B2C).
• Additionally, Fractal has invested in Analytics Vidhya, the largest India-originated data science
community, with over 4.9 million registered users worldwide.
When compared to benchmarked product-focused players in the DAAI industry:
• These players derive a significant portion of their revenue from licensed AI software with services
primarily tied to these offerings. In contrast, Fractal complements its product portfolio with standalone
DAAI services.
258• Both these players have reported a high number of patents per 1000 employees and significant R&D
spending. However, Fractal has differentiated itself by developing four Gen AI foundation models – a
capability not reported by any other players in the group.
Further, Fractal has experience in serving several large enterprises including majority of the “magnificent seven”
companies (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla).
Exhibit 35 indicates the company’s clientele among the top 20 enterprises across verticals.
The firms compared in Exhibits 36 and 37 have a global clientele and serve diverse industries and geographies,
demonstrating their versatility, expertise, and ability to adapt to different business contexts.

Threats and challenges to Fractal
While Fractal is a leading analytics and AI services specialist, there are several threats and challenges to its
business, including:
• Changing macroeconomic conditions: Persistent inflationary pressures, tightening monetary policies,
ongoing tariff discussions, and geopolitical tensions (such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-
Hamas war) can impact the spending appetite of enterprises in digital services.
• Rise in insourcing: Over the past few years, there has been a steady rise in new in-house setups due to
increasing cost competitiveness of captives, greater alignment with enterprise priorities, and better
control and governance. While there is an opportunity for service providers to capitalize on this shift by
enabling captive center setup and transformation, it may also result in reduced enterprise spend on third-
party providers.
• Talent retention and upskilling challenges: Rapid changes in AI technologies have created challenges in
acquiring and retaining the right talent, limiting the effective deployment and management of AI systems.
Inability to meet this demand and develop internal resources by Fractal can pose a threat to its business.
• Service revenue erosion due to productization: Gen AI infusion is significantly enhancing productivity
across IT services by automating complex processes through low-code and conversation-enabled SaaS
tools, which can result in revenue erosion for third-party providers.
• Governance and security risks: With increasing AI adoption, countries worldwide are introducing AI-
related regulations and frameworks. This trend is particularly relevant for Gen AI, as its ability to create
new content heightens concerns about potential misuse. Rising privacy and ethical concerns around
DAAI technology, along with strict regulatory policies, pose a threat to DAAI innovation and enterprise
adoption.
• Possibility of new market entrants: Since DAAI is among the fastest-growing digital services markets,
new entrants with differentiated offerings that can serve enterprise needs may pose a threat to Fractal’s
business.

Business Overview
Founded in 2000, we are a globally recognized enterprise artificial intelligence (“AI”) company (source: Everest
Report), with a vision to power human decisions in our clients’ enterprises by leveraging AI. We support large
global enterprises with data-driven insights and assist them in their decision making through our end-to-end AI
solutions. We build our AI solutions by leveraging our technical, domain and functional capabilities built over
our operating history of over 25 years. As of March 31, 2025, our full suite of AI solutions is organized under two
segments: Fractal.ai (comprising AI services and AI products primarily hosted on Cogentiq) and Fractal Alpha
(comprising AI businesses). Through these two segments, we cater to the diverse business needs of our clients
across industries and business functions.
Figure 1 – Fractal segments
Some of the key areas of business performance where we help our clients are identified below:
• Enabling clients to understand, predict and shape their customer behavior: For example, we
leveraged Generative AI (“Gen AI”) to develop a contact strategy and customer intelligence system
for a global asset manager, through which the client’s independent advisors provide relevant
investment recommendations to its customers.
267• Improving operational efficiency: For example, we developed a Gen AI powered call auditing,
summarizing, escalation identification and sentiment monitoring engine for a US healthcare payer
with an aim to reduce manual call auditing as well as better understand and improve call quality.
• Building better products faster: For example, we assisted a leading global consumer goods company
in launching a new antiperspirant by providing data-driven insights. Leveraging our AI solutions, we
analyzed consumer data to identify growth opportunities and unmet needs, which resulted in a product
that improved underarm skin health and tackled concerns like irritation and discoloration.
• Enabling sustainability and resilience: For example, we created a Gen AI powered product concept
generator for a global consumer health and personal care company to identify opportunities and pain
points for customers based on consumer reviews and social media trends.
• Driving better executive decisions: For example, we enabled a payments app provider to scale its
count of users by creating an AI, data and analytics infrastructure, conducting country-level business
reviews, forecasting user growth and budgets, identifying key drivers of ongoing engagement and
powering several growth experiments for the product and marketing teams.
We work with large global enterprise clients to help them navigate the entire life cycle of AI transformation from
ideation to adoption to drive decisions in the enterprise. We aim to become a trusted partner to our clients. We
focus on our “Must Win Clients” (“MWC”s), who we define as enterprises that meet one of three criteria: (1)
over US$10 billion in annual revenue, (2) over US$20 billion in market capitalization, or (3) over 30 million end-
customers. In Fiscal 2025, we served 113 MWCs; our clients include Citibank, N.A (“Citi”), Costco, Franklin
Templeton, Mars, Mondelez, Nationwide, Nestle, Philips, among others. As of March 31, 2025, we served a
majority of the “magnificent seven” companies32 (source Everest Report).
Our domain expertise spans across our focus industries of consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) & retail (together
with CPG, “CPGR”), technology, media and telecom (“TMT”), healthcare and life sciences (“HLS”) and
banking, financial services and insurance (“BFSI”). As of March 31, 2025, we worked with 10 of the 20 largest
CPG companies, eight of the 20 largest TMT companies, three of the 20 largest BFSI companies, 10 of the 20
largest HLS companies and five of the 20 largest retail companies based on Fiscal 2025 revenue (source: Everest
Report). Our ability to address clients’ problems across industries is driven by our deep technical, domain and
functional expertise. We integrate AI, engineering and design (“AED”) to power decisions in our clients’
enterprises and our strategic intent is to create outsized value for every client we work with. In this process, we
aspire to become the most respected enterprise AI company globally.
We are a client-centric company, which focuses on prioritizing our clients’ success and creating long-term value
for them. Our “client first” value is reflected in the tenure of our relationship with our top clients and our Net
Promoter Score (“NPS”) based on client surveys. We have served our top ten clients by revenue in Fiscal 2025
(who contributed 53.8% to our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment) for an average of more than
eight years. Our NPS for our Fractal.ai segment was 77, 77 and 73 in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023
respectively (source: 1Lattice Report).
We are India’s leading pure-play enterprise data, analytics and AI company, recognized globally, with capabilities
across the data, analytics and AI (“DAAI”) value chain (source: Everest Report). We are uniquely placed among
other industry players, with active investments in expanding our AI and Gen AI software portfolio and research
and development (“R&D”) capabilities (source: Everest Report). Forrester categorized us as a “Leader” in five
Forrester WavesTM for Customer Analytics Service Providers in 2025, 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2017, and Everest
Group recognized us as a “Leader” in the Everest Group Data and AI Services Specialists PEAK Matrix®
Assessment (and its predecessor Analytics and AI Services Specialists PEAK Matrix® Assessment) in 2021
through 2025.
We are committed to technological innovation and have consistently invested in AI research and development,
exploring the latest AI methodologies and technologies. As an example, we have built foundation models
including Kalaido.ai, our own diffusion-based text-to-image model and Vaidya.ai, a medical multi-modal

Our Strengths
Leading Player in a large and growing AI market
AI is one of the biggest technological waves to date and is being leveraged by enterprises to guide their business
strategies and optimize routine business operations (source: Everest Report). Further, enterprises are increasingly
engaging with third-party providers for third party data, analytics and AI (“DAAI”) services, as they find it
difficult to navigate the rapidly evolving DAAI market and access the right talent and technologies, while
managing internal costs and core competencies (source: Everest Report). As Fractal offers services across the
DAAI value chain, the overall DAAI market can be interpreted as Fractal’s total addressable market (“TAM”),
valued at an estimated US$143 billion (₹12 trillion) in Fiscal 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 16.7%
to reach US$310 billion (₹23 trillion) by Fiscal 2030 (source: Everest Report). To reduce their reliance on multiple
partners across the DAAI value chain, enterprises, especially large buyers (with annual revenue > US$5 billion or
> ₹418 billion), prefer to engage with a single partner for AI solutions (source: Everest Report). Service providers
with end-to-end DAAI capabilities are thus well positioned to capture this market. We focus on AI and advanced
analytics and provide DAAI consulting and technology services, software solutions, and AI products, with
advanced capabilities in computer vision, natural language processing, and Gen AI, to enterprises, in essence,
making us an end-to-end player in the DAAI market (source: Everest Report).
We are India’s leading pure-play enterprise data, analytics and AI company, recognized globally, with capabilities
across the DAAI value chain. We recorded revenue growth at a CAGR of 18.0% over Fiscals 2023 to 2025
compared to the DAAI global third-party market’s CAGR of 11.0%, demonstrating our ability to win market share
(source: Everest Report). While we are incorporated in India, we cater to a global clientele, with 91.6% of our
revenue in Fiscal 2025 from clients located outside of India. We have also achieved global recognition through
272various industry awards, for example: (i) Everest Group recognized us as a “Leader” in the Everest Group Data
and AI Services Specialists PEAK Matrix® Assessment in 2025 (and its predecessor Analytics and AI Services
Specialists PEAK Matrix® Assessment in 2021, 2022 and 2024); and (ii) Forrester categorized us as a “Leader”
in five Forrester WavesTM for Customer Analytics Service Providers in 2025, 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2017, as
illustrated in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3 – Fractal consistently categorized as a “Leader” in five Forrester WavesTM
273Long-standing and growing relationships with marquee, global clients contributing to a diversified revenue
base
We work with marquee clients across our focus industries of CPGR, TMT, HLS and BFSI. Our clients include
Citi, Costco, Franklin Templeton, Mars, Mondelez, Nationwide, Nestle, Philips, among others. Our revenue base
is diversified both across and within our focus industries. As of March 31, 2025, we worked with 10 of the 20
largest CPG companies, eight of the 20 largest TMT companies, three of the 20 largest BFSI companies, 10 of
the 20 largest HLS companies and five of the 20 largest retail companies, based on Fiscal 2025 revenue (source:
Everest Report). Our revenues from our focus industries grew at a CAGR of 16.8% from Fiscal 2023 to Fiscal
2025. Increased Gen AI adoption is likely to drive the CAGRs for BFSI (16.7%), HLS (18.2%), retail and
distribution (15.2%), CPG (15.0%) and TMT (15.7%) over Fiscal 2025 to Fiscal 2030 (source: Everest Report).
Our presence in these industries positions us to capitalize on this potential. The following table sets forth a

The depth of our engagement with clients is evidenced by the tenure of our relationship with our top clients as
well as revenues from our top clients. As of March 31, 2025, among our top 10 clients in Fiscal 2025, we have
been engaged by a US-based global technology company for over eight years; a US-based multinational CPG
corporation for over 19 years; and a global HLS player for over 10 years. We have served our top ten clients by
revenue in Fiscal 2025 for an average of more than eight years and they contributed 53.8% to our revenue from
operations in Fiscal 2025. 64.9% of our revenue from operations in Fiscal 2025 was contributed by clients that
we served for at least five years. Our Net Revenue Retention in our Fractal.ai segment was 121.3%, 110.2% and
151.0% for Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively, demonstrating our ability to retain and expand revenue
from our existing clients.
We strive to be a strategic partner to our clients by delivering a wide range of end-to-end AI solutions across
business functions and teams.
For example, we have been working with a multinational technology company since 2017. Our initial
engagement was for the client's business to business (“B2B”) marketing team for their advertising technology
product. By 2025, we expanded our services to over 50 teams within the client’s organization across its payment
service, video streaming platform, applications marketplace and cloud service divisions, among others. As of
March 31, 2025, we worked with over 200 stakeholders across 54 teams to support engagements with the client.
Deep and integrated technical, domain and functional expertise
We design, build and deliver end-to-end AI solutions for our clients across industries leveraging our technical,
domain and functional capabilities and expertise built over our operating history of over 25 years.
• Technical expertise: We have strong AED capabilities including Gen AI, machine vision, algorithmic
decision making, cloud and data engineering, behavioral science and human-centered design, amongst
others. In the Everest Group’s PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025, they highlighted our data-centric
competencies, particularly our AI capabilities complemented by ongoing enhancements in data
capabilities around data engineering and data management. We also contribute to the DAAI industry
through publications and conferences. For example, we presented two research papers (one on the text-
to-image methods underlying Kalaido.ai and the other on reasoning in LLMs for improved Mathematical
Olympiad Performance) at the NeurIPS 2024 AI Conference and ICLR 2025. We are collaborating with
reputable engineering institutes in India to advance studies on Neuromorphic computing, quantum
computing, foundation models and Gen AI algorithms.
• Domain expertise: Our experience across our focus industries positions us well to understand industry-
specific problems. For example, we started working for a leading CPG company in Fiscal 2007. Initially,
we built a demand forecasting AI solution for the sales department of the company. We then expanded
our role with the client to develop solutions across other industries and functions such as product supply,
revenue growth management, operational intelligence and across geographies. In the CPG industry, as
of March 31, 2025, we worked with 10 of the top 20 CPG companies (source: Everest Report). In Fiscal
2025, our revenue in our Fractal.ai segment in the CPGR and TMT industries was ₹10,615 million and
₹8,087 million respectively, strengthening our ability to both expand with our existing clients and acquire
new clients within such industries. We have developed domain-specific products such as Trial Run, an
experimentation platform for retail clients and Cogentiq Digital Commerce, an e-commerce and digital
marketing platform for CPG clients.
• Functional expertise: We work with our clients across their various business functions like sales and
marketing, supply chain, finance & accounting and data & AI among others. While different industries
have diverse business operating models, they may share certain value chain elements and face similar
problems (source: Everest Report). For example, CPG and retail and distribution have common supply
chain elements, such as sourcing and procurement and logistics and distribution, while HLS has elements
of manufacturing, supply chain and distribution (source: Everest Report). We have built function-
275specific products like Cogentiq Sales Assist (formerly part of Customer Genomics) and Cogentiq
Campaign Assist (formerly part of Customer Genomics), our personalization engines for sales &
marketing teams, and Cogentiq Enterprise Store (formerly Enterprise Marketplace), a one-stop digital
storefront for data teams.
We attribute our growth to our understanding of our clients’ enterprise contexts including enterprise data, different
technology stacks, multiple software systems, as well as specific preferences such as data hosting choices, data
privacy considerations and security protocols. Our ability to build end-to-end solutions with responsible AI
considerations and ability to drive adoption of our AI solutions enables us to address AI implementation
challenges faced by clients and provide seamless interoperability for scaling enterprise-wide AI solutions. Our AI
expertise and capabilities are further strengthened through our partnerships with large-scale cloud infrastructure
providers such as Google Cloud, foundation model providers, AI labs such as Open AI, software companies,
leading enterprise AI software providers such as C3 AI, and data aggregators such as Nielsen IQ. Our technical,
domain and functional expertise are demonstrated through the case studies discussed in “– Our Technical, Domain
and Functional Capabilities” on page 282.
Track record of inventing and investing to benefit clients
We have demonstrated a track record of inventing, by identifying emerging trends in AI, developing new AI
solutions, which is evidenced by investments in R&D and acquiring businesses to expand our capabilities. The
table below sets out our research and development investments for the years indicated:
(₹ in millions, except percentages)
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Research and development investments(1) 1,436 1,422 1,158
As a % of revenue from operations (%) 5.2% 6.5% 5.8%
Note:
(1) Research and development investments comprise operating expenditure and capital expenditure relating to research and development.
As of August 11, 2025, we had 24 patents and 41 patent applications. Our commitment to technological research
and development is aligned with our belief that the technology landscape is ever evolving and it is critical for
enterprises to be well-prepared to incorporate the latest techniques and technologies to drive competitive
differentiation.
As of March 31, 2025, we had a suite of AI products hosted on Cogentiq, including our proprietary tools and
platforms, which are built for industry-specific as well as cross-industry use cases. For example, Cogentiq
Business Insights enables businesses to make informed, data-driven decisions through an intuitive conversational
experience and Cogentiq Campaign Assist and Cogentiq Sales Assist respectively enable enterprise marketing
and sales teams to drive intelligent, real-time customer engagement at scale. For more information on our AI
products, see “– our AI solutions – Fractal.ai segment” on page 285. Our R&D investments are classified based
on two key factors, (i) breadth of the problem to be solved and (ii) revenue generating visibility. This two-tier
approach helps us invest effectively in near term and long-term technological advancements. Highlights of our
R&D initiatives since 2012 include:
• Established “Fractal Sciences”: To strengthen our R&D creation and to cater to AI demand, we
established our “Fractal Sciences” program in 2012. As early as 2012, we incubated various AI solutions
under Fractal Sciences such as Concordia, Trial Run and Customer Genomics to address problems
frequently faced by enterprises.
• Launched “ai.now” program: In 2017, we launched our “ai.now” program under which we conducted
AI focused knowledge sharing events for multinational corporations across industries. We also launched
various AI products including IVA (i.e., image & video analytics), Eugenie.ai, E-hub, Trial Run and
Customer Genomics.
• Scaling through inorganic growth: We focus on accelerating our core capabilities through inorganic
growth. We cumulatively invested ₹5,581 million (US$74 million) from Fiscal 2022 to Fiscal 2025 in
acquisitions. For example, we acquired FinalMile in Fiscal 2018 to strengthen our capabilities in
behavioral science. We acquired Neal Analytics in Fiscal 2022 to strengthen our data engineering
capabilities and cloud-first offerings on a leading hyperscaler’s multi cloud ecosystem. We acquired
Senseforth.ai in Fiscal 2022 which enhanced our capabilities in conversational AI.
276• Investment in Gen AI powered solutions and in-house R&D: Beginning in Fiscal 2023, we developed
several Gen AI solutions. We introduced new offerings including Enterprise Marketplace (now Cogentiq
Enterprise Store), while also incorporating Gen AI capabilities into our existing AI products such as Crux
Intelligence (now Cogentiq Business Insights) and Customer Genomics (now Cogentiq Sales Assist and
Cogentiq Campaign Assist). We also launched Gen AI based products which are accessible by the public,
such as MarshallGoldsmith.ai, Kalaido.ai, our own diffusion-based text-to-image model which operates
across multiple Indian languages, and learnings from which were presented at NeurIPS 2024 and
Vaidya.ai, our medical multi-modal foundation model ecosystem consisting of LLMs, VLMs and
medical reasoning systems. We also created Project Ramanujan, an initiative for creating reasoning
models. As a part of Project Ramanujan, we created a mathematical large reasoning model, which won
the inaugural Meta HackerCup (AI Competition) at NeurIPS 2024 and learnings from which were
presented in ICLR 2025. Fathom-R1-14B is another AI large reasoning foundation model that we have
open-sourced along with its datasets.
We have fostered a culture where employees are encouraged to innovate through participation in conferences and
expos, interaction with the research community as well as publishing of research papers. As of March 31, 2025,
we had published several research papers in the areas of synthetic data, quantum computing, image and video and
neuroscience. These have been recognized by global journals and conferences including Artificial Intelligence
Applications & Innovations (“AIAI”), IEEE, ICLR, NeurIPS and Cognitive Computational Neuroscience
(“CCN”). For more details, see “ – Research and Development” on page 299.
Culture of trust, transparency & freedom to nurture talent
Our success relies heavily on our employee talent. As of March 31, 2025, we had 5,254 employees. We believe
our cultural values, multiple hiring channels and consistent focus on training and development enable us to hire
and retain talent.
Figure 4 – Our “Culture Donut” represents our culture which is designed around the three elements of our people principles,
leadership principles and values.
We continually strive to enhance our AED capabilities by scaling our teams and upskilling and reskilling them.
We hire talent through scalable channels including Iqigai.ai (our proprietary, AI powered hiring assessment
platform), Imagineer Program (our campus recruitment program), lateral hiring program and ReBoot (our return
from career break (“returnship”) program) to attract employees. We are highly selective in our hiring. In Fiscal
2025, we hired 1,514 Fractalites, amounting to 0.8% of the 195,707 applications that we had received. The strength
of our culture is evidenced by the fact that approximately 25.8% of our lateral hires in Fiscal 2025 joined us
through referrals from existing employees. We also recorded an employee attrition rate of 16.3% in the same
period.
We focus on continuously training and upskilling our employees through our training and development programs

Pranay the Young Alumni Achiever’s Award in the field of Entrepreneurship.
Our leadership team has an average tenure of over 12 years with our Company.
We have a Board of Directors with extensive domain expertise. Our directors have diverse business experience in
areas including technology, investment, marketing and consulting and many of them have held senior leadership
positions in well-known organizations. We have appointed certain advisors, comprising of industry veterans who
bring their experience from several of our focused industries and across a broad spectrum of areas including IT,
consulting and finance. They support and guide us on areas such as business strategy, go to market and CFO
advisory services, amongst others.
Our Strategy
Acquire and grow “must win clients”, or “MWCs”
Our strategic intent is to create outsized value for every client we work with by powering human decisions in the
enterprise by leveraging AI. We will continue our focus on MWCs by expanding and deepening our relationships
with such clients. We intend to also continue to invest in our dedicated sales, account management and
partnerships and alliances teams across our target geographies - US, UK, Europe, Australia and the Middle East,
to win new MWCs.
We help our clients power decisions in the enterprise by helping them navigate the entire life cycle of building
multiple AI solutions, from ideation to adoption. We will further deepen our understanding of our clients’ data
and data systems and integrate with their partner ecosystem to provide AI solutions. We will continue to enhance
our technical, domain and functional capabilities by scaling our teams and upskilling and reskilling them. We will
also strengthen our teams by recruiting experienced leaders with technical skills. We will continue leveraging Gen
AI as one of the penetration points for our go-to-market activities.
278We intend to continue focusing on enhancing client outcomes and satisfaction, operating through deeply
integrated client teams led by client business partners who continually liaise with key stakeholders in the client
organization to understand their priorities and then work with our internal teams to bring together the right AI
solution incorporating the required capabilities and AI products to help them achieve their priorities. We measure
client satisfaction through NPS, which is a well-recognized indicator of customer satisfaction.
Expand capabilities by investing in AI research and product innovation
We will continue to proactively innovate and invest to ensure we remain at the forefront of technological
advancements, prepared to implement them as they become commercially viable for scale. This approach will
allow us to enhance our value proposition for clients and align with their readiness and aspirations. Our strategy
involves identifying emerging trends in AI, conducting fundamental AI research in areas such as Gen AI, quantum
computing and computational neuroscience, developing new AI solutions and acquiring businesses to accelerate
our capabilities.
Our AI research team’s vision is to advance the frontiers of AI towards artificial general intelligence (“AGI”) by
developing agentic systems that automate and augment tasks of varying complexity, enhancing both human and
machine performance, through cutting-edge methods. Our research has been focused on three systems: knowledge
systems, reasoning systems and action systems. Corresponding to these, we have been conducting fundamental
AI research that has been published in top international forums and have democratized our AI research through
open sourcing or business-to-consumer (“B2C”) products. We have built foundational models including
Kalaido.ai – our own diffusion-based text-to-image model, Vaidya.ai - an ecosystem of medical multi-modal
foundation models consisting of LLMs, VLMs and medical reasoning systems and open-sourced our large
reasoning model (“LRM”) Fathom-R1-14B along with its datasets.
We also intend to continue launching consumer-facing AI products such as MarshallGoldsmith.ai, Vaidya.ai and
Kalaido.ai to showcase AI's potential in real-world scenarios. This would help our clients visualize how similar
technologies may be implemented within their own organizations, inspiring relevant use cases. Further, we will
continue to engage with reputed educational institutions to co-create and build capabilities in new technologies.
Additionally, we aim to build AI products for MWCs, by continuing to invest in Cogentiq, Fractal's agentic AI
platform that helps product owners accelerate building and upgrading AI products through a pre-built suite of
agents, tools, connectors with in-built low-code, security, governance, auditability and inter-operability features.
We plan to port pre-existing AI products onto the Cogentiq platform to make them more agentic and enterprise
ready. Additionally, we are advancing multi-agentic systems such as Pioneer to streamline and enhance the
software development lifecycle and for autonomous data science problem solving. We are also sharpening our
business capabilities to spin off successful consumer-facing and enterprise-facing AI products as Fractal Alpha
companies.
Continue to build a great place to work
We believe our culture is a long-term differentiator that will enable us to build our Company for the long term.
We will continue to build a great place to work by focusing on fostering a culture of trust, transparency and
freedom guided by our values, people principles and leadership principles. Our ability to recruit and retain talent
is fundamental to the success of our business. We will continue hiring talent through scalable channels focusing
on individuals with the right aptitude and providing them with the necessary internal and external training
programs to facilitate continuous learning and growth. We are also focused on building strong leaders at Fractal
through various leadership programs across employee levels. We will continue to encourage peer learning and
knowledge sharing among Fractalites and have a designated in-house knowledge sharing platform for Gen AI and
behavioral science techniques. For our internal teams, our aim is to enhance operational efficiencies across
functions – we have developed our own AI powered hiring assessment platform (being Iqigai.ai) and a virtual AI
assistant (being Dexter) to address employee queries related to IT, human capital and payroll. We are also focused
on enhancing our efficiency in building AI solutions by incorporating various coding productivity tools including
external coding tools and our own AI coding agents into our workflows.
Partner with leading technology companies
We have identified a set of leading data and technology companies including large-scale cloud infrastructure
providers (hyperscalers) such as Google Cloud, foundation model providers, AI labs such as Open AI, software
companies, leading enterprise AI software providers such as C3 AI and data aggregators such as Nielsen IQ to
partner with and will focus on diversifying across them. Our partnership strategy involves a mutual exchange of
279value with our partners. We build relationships with partner account teams in our mutual clients/customers. We
help drive their objectives (typically consumption footprints) and leverage their extensive resources and
innovative capabilities to enhance our client acquisition and lead generation. We will continue to conduct joint
planning sessions with our partners to identify strategic go-to-market and growth opportunities. Additionally, we
will continue to utilize their funding programs, where available, to accelerate our deal velocity and client
conversion.
We aim to develop a detailed understanding of our clients’ technology roadmap, particularly in relation to their
hyperscaler, data and AI platforms strategy to win new business. We intend to continue to upskill our teams on
partner offerings and incorporate existing partner offerings in our services and products which will allow us to
deliver an end-to-end solution and a faster time to value for clients.
Accelerate our capabilities through acquisitions
Our acquisition strategy is designed to strengthen our client focus and our commitment to client centricity. We
will continue to selectively pursue acquisitions to enhance our existing technical and functional capabilities and
continue to build our domain expertise across the industries we operate in. We will continue to identify and
evaluate potential targets for strategic investments and acquisitions based on factors such as complementary
capabilities, strategic alignment and potential synergies with our current business, expansion of our geographical
reach and complementary expertise from both a client and talent perspective, amongst others.
We have developed a disciplined and comprehensive mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) process that has been
improved and optimized through a number of successful transactions, which aims to de-risk the capital allocation
process and derive the benefits and synergies expected from transactions. We have, from our early stages, focused
on M&A as a lever for growth and this has led to the development of our capability to source potential
opportunities, evaluate targets, integrate intellectual property and retain “acqui-hired” talent to deliver benefits
from M&A transactions over a sustained period of time.
For example, our acquisition of Samya.ai (which has evolved into Asper.ai) illustrates how the technology
acquired has been further developed as a tool to deliver growth in client demand forecasting and decision analytics.
Our acquisition of Senseforth.ai (now known as Cogentiq CX) has bolstered our capabilities in natural language
processing, Gen AI and the development of the Cogentiq platform. Our acquisition of Analytics Vidhya has
supported our client service requirements by enriching the talent pipeline, which is an important factor towards
maintaining and augmenting our commitment to client centricity. Our acquisition of Neal Analytics has, in
addition to strengthening our data engineering capabilities and cloud-first offerings on a leading hyperscaler’s
multi cloud ecosystem, paved the way to expand our partnerships and alliances channel.
We have distilled our experience into integration principles for future acquisitions. Our integration team
collaborates with the founders and executive teams of target companies to prepare them for the acquisition and
structure the organization and its processes to accelerate synergies and enable successful integration. With a track
record of identifying, acquiring and integrating complementary businesses, we plan to selectively pursue
acquisitions and strategic investments to accelerate our growth strategy.
Our Evolution
We founded our Company in 2000 with the objective of enabling businesses to create value by helping them make
better decisions using AI. Today, we are India’s leading pure-play enterprise data, analytics, and AI company,
recognized globally, with capabilities across the DAAI value chain (source: Everest Report).
280Figure 5 - A summary of our evolution
Fractal Approach
Our approach to problem solving through our AI solutions, which we refer to as “The Fractal Approach”
incorporates three key aspects:
“User-centric, decision-backwards” approach; we start with understanding what decision the end-user is
interested in taking, understanding and reframing business problems from the end-user’s perspective.
To design an AI solution, we use a “user-centric, decision-backwards” approach to identify and understand the
business problem from the perspective of users, which could be end-customers of the client or the client’s
personnel. Our approach starts with exploring and understanding the decisions to be made, defining the business
problems to be solved and then thinking backwards to determine the required data, algorithms, systems and
solutions to address the problems. The decision-backwards aspect is in contrast to the traditional data/tech forward
approach where solutions are built on the data and technology that is already available.
To illustrate our user-centric, decision-backwards approach, a global manufacturer of confectionary products
was looking to drive higher sales. We first defined the problem of the end-users (i.e., salespeople could not
make decisions in time to drive sales, as they were not able to easily track their sales on-the-go and they did
not have enough insights on where to intervene), before identifying data insights to support this. We then
identified data insights that would support salespeople in achieving their targets. On this basis, we designed a
personalized AI-enabled mobile application that provided salespeople with (a) a real-time view of their
performance indicators, (b) AI driven personalized early warnings for targets that are at risk of not being met
and alerts on potential decisions and actions to take and (c) AI generated personalized additional information
on the targets which are at risk.
Integrating behavioral science and data science to design AI solutions for better adoption
Our approach to designing AI solutions is based on understanding human behavior and decision-making
dynamics. We leverage our data science capabilities to analyze large volumes of data using a variety of tools and
techniques to find patterns and derive insights for our clients. Based on the patterns and insights from such
analysis, we build predictive AI models using different algorithms. We use our behavioral science techniques
(Behavior ArchitectureTM) to provide insights into our client’s customers’ behavior and also understand factors
that guide decisions non-consciously (for example, emotions, impulse, habits, or reflex actions ). In addition, our
proprietary research framework, EthnoLabTM, uses gamification to collect responses from users in a simulated
environment, which helps us identify how people actually behave instead of how they claim to behave.
A US beverage and coffee company faced frequent stockouts, hurting sales and retailer relationships.
Previously used digital tools did not work well due to low adoption by account managers (“AM"s), driven by
281lack of trust, poor usability and poor alignment with daily workflow. We developed an AI assistant using data
science and behavioral science to optimize store-level ordering. Through deep user research in pilot markets—
gathering feedback, understanding habits, emotions, and motivational levers that influence frontline decision,
we designed a solution that fits into daily workflows and gets adopted by AMs. We linked our AI
recommendations to trusted anchors like key retailer’s brand guidelines and provided targets, visual feedback
and loss aversion cues to AMs (i.e. highlighting the potential AM commissions losses from not following the
AI recommendations). The AI assistant integrated real-time data (across sales, inventory, promotion and
seasonal data) across multiple enterprise systems and used machine learning to suggest optimal orders by SKU
and store. These proactive recommendations were provided through a simple mobile interface tailored to reduce
information overload and easily align with daily workflow.
Complementing technical expertise with functional expertise.
To reduce their reliance on multiple partners across the DAAI value chain, enterprises, especially large buyers
(with annual revenue > US$5 billion or > ₹418 billion), prefer to engage with a single partner for AI solutions
(source: Everest Report). We have developed specialized functional capabilities to solve business problems across
multiple functions, such as sales & marketing, supply chain, finance and accounting and data & AI. These
functional capabilities are integrated with our technical capabilities in AED and domain capabilities which enable
us to solve business problems for our clients and serve them across industries.
For example, a global asset management company was looking to increase assets under management of the
sales team of its advisory channel. Leveraging our functional and technical capabilities, we studied the client’s
sales organization and identified areas of high advisor engagement. We created a recommendation engine and
a contact strategy system / customer intelligence system to enable financial advisors to have personalized
conversations with their end customers.
Our Technical, Domain and Functional Capabilities
The implementation of the Fractal Approach is driven by our expertise to integrate our technical capabilities, our
domain capabilities as well as our functional capabilities to deliver benefits to our clients.
Our Technical Capabilities
Our AI, engineering and design (“AED”) capabilities enable us to identify and reframe the problem, build the
required AI algorithms with supporting infrastructure and data pipelines and design and implement the final
solution.
Figure 6 – Our AED capabilities AI is required to build algorithms that can match or
exceed human performance to deliver better results.
There are six pillars on which we organize our AI
capabilities – Gen AI, conversational AI, computer
vision, algorithmic decision making/core ML, Machine
Learning Operations (“ML Ops”) and LLM Operations
(“LLM Ops”). It is important to make algorithms
explainable and fair, without human biases. To ensure
this, we have setup a Responsible AI practice that
reviews all our solutions. For more details, see “–
Responsible AI Framework” at page 307.
Engineering is key to identifying the availability,
quality, type and readiness of data to build an effective
AI solution, creating the necessary integration
frameworks to ensure seamless connectivity across
different infrastructure elements and building efficient
data architecture that facilitates real-time automated AI
solutions designed for scale. We leverage our
engineering capabilities to operationalize the decisions
from data process for our clients.
282Design is important to gain a deep understanding of
human behavior across the entire journey, from framing
the right business problem to solving it in a manner that
accelerates adoption and drives impact. Our design team
brings together cross-functional expertise in behavioral
science, economics, ethnography, information &
interaction design and user experience.

responses
Design research We undertake (i) ethnographic research, a qualitative method of research where we observe
how AI and humans actually perform under real conditions of use; (ii) lean research, a
research framework that focuses on improved research outcomes by improving the
experience of the research participants; and (iii) user experience research, a research method
that studies target users and their requirements to add realistic context and insight to design
processes
User experience and We have developed a design system, the “Phi Design system”, to accelerate our design
interaction design process. This design system provides tools and templates for discovery, developing user
interfaces and implementing AI and data analytics.
We have developed the Cogentiq Design System, a foundational document that ensures
consistency, clarity and efficiency in how the Cogentiq Platform and Products are visually
and experientially represented in the world.
To illustrate how we deploy our technical capabilities into our AI solutions, a client in the media and
entertainment industry sought to drive better customer experience and increase product sales and cross-sales
through personalization of customer interactions with their contact center agents. The existing client strategy
was for their agents to pitch products to customers based on the client’s business priorities, which did not
necessarily align with customers’ requirements. We recommended a change in approach and built an AI driven
recommendation system for the client. We engineered an AI solution which could de-fragment data from
multiple data sources and deliver the relevant, real-time recommendations to agents based on customers’
interests and preferences, instead of the client’s business priorities. The front-end interface was designed to
show agents the relevant product recommendations for customers along with talking points and explanations
of the relevant product.

A healthcare technology company
• Client: Philips, a healthcare technology company and a global medical device manufacturer that has been
our client since 2014
• Industry: HLS
• AI solution: Data engineering, Customer analytics (next best recommendation function)
Situation: The client caters to medical care businesses spanning small clinics to large hospitals and is engaged in
various segments including diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy, patient monitoring, health informatics,
consumer health and home care. The client was looking to design a business-to-business sales strategy that could
help increase its market share by cross-selling or up-selling to existing customers (i.e., medical care businesses)
as well as expand its customer base.
296Solution: Using our decision-backwards approach, we determined that, to optimize their B2B sales, it is important
to understand (i) the potential of medical care organizations across segments for product sales and (ii) the target
medical care organizations to improve the market share. For this, we gathered information, such as, location,
affiliations, medical care type and clinical parameters, among others, on these organizations from both internal
and external databases. With this we mapped the medical care organizations to their market size and potential
buying power. We used our AI, engineering and design (“AED”) capabilities to build a customer segmentation
program aimed to generate incremental revenue through new opportunities from both existing as well as new
customers. Our segmentation suggested focus areas based on the medical care organizations’ profile. For example,
if a medical care organization is a leading player in the cardiology segment, they may be more amenable to buy
best in class cardiology products, prompting the client to show their best products to the customer. We developed
a recommendation engine for up-selling and cross-selling products. Leveraging ML, the recommendation engine
analyzed precedent transaction patterns to predict the next most likely product purchase for medical care
organizations.
Our AI solution was deployed across 32 countries and enabled the client to uplift sales from its existing customers
as well as add new customers. We have gradually scaled our relationship with the client over the years delivering

Sharing inspiring stories of Fractalites and culture-in-action at Fractal
We showcase our culture through series such as Fractal Unfiltered, Being Fractal, AI Quotient series, Fractalverse,
Spotlight series, where Fractalites share personal journeys, growth stories and moments of resilience. Alongside
celebrating these stories over our social platforms, we also celebrate their accomplishments and creativity,
especially during festive occasions. These efforts help Fractalites discover each other’s strengths and talent, while
giving clients and future talents a glimpse into life at Fractal.
Our Culture
Our culture fosters a conducive work environment that attracts employees, clients, partners and other stakeholders.
Our employees embody our vision and strive to achieve it every day. Our culture is designed around three
elements, which we represent as a “Culture Donut”:
• Core Values: At the center are our values, the underlying beliefs that guide all our choices. These are
essential to building a resilient and innovative company that is well-equipped to serve our clients and
adapt to the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and analytics.
303• People Principles: These define how we treat each other and form the bedrock of experiences at Fractal.
Each principle in essence is a promise that we will treat each other fairly, with respect and ensure that
Fractal is experienced consistently regardless of employee status.
• Leadership Principles: These define the way Fractalites lead themselves, their teams and the business
which in turn guides decision-making and builds a common vocabulary for our discussions and actions.
Figure 22 – Our culture “donut”
We have established People Pods (employee resource groups), which are Fractal communities driving change
within Fractal. They represent, listen to and lead change from within, providing Fractalites with a platform to
voice their perspectives and contribute to shaping policies that foster an environment where everyone feels heard
and valued. We have institutionalized three pods – one for women, one for LGBTQIA+ individuals and one for
new parents. Our efforts have been acknowledged with the Great Place to Work institute recognizing us as a Top
100 company in their Best WorkplacesTM for Women for five consecutive years – from 2020 to 2024, as a Top 25
company for Best WorkplacesTM for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging for the years 2023 & 2024 and a
"Workplace with Inclusive Practices" recognition in 2022 and 2023.
Our employer brand and organizational culture are reflected in our 4.4 out of 5 rating on Glassdoor for culture
and values and an overall rating on 4.2 out of 5, each as of August 8, 2025 (source: Everest Report). In 2025, we
won the Gold Award for Excellence in Cultivating a Culture of Trust and High Performance at the ET Human
Capital Awards and in 2023. We will continue to invest in building the right environment and culture for
Fractalites to succeed.

Hiring
Figure 23 – Our hiring framework
We are selective in hiring applicants from campus placements and laterally across all our geographical locations.
During Fiscal 2025, we hired 1,514 Fractalites – that is 0.8% of the 195,707 applications that we received.
Iqigai.ai, our self-developed, AI powered hiring assessment platform helps us gauge candidates’ aptitude and
coding skill through video proctoring, thereby increasing hiring efficiency and reducing biases.
In addition to our regular lateral and campus hires, we have three hiring programs:
- Imagineer: Our flagship campus hiring program to develop our future leaders, is a structured 24+ month
program with the first year focused on training and shadow projects after which Imagineers are aligned
with business practices. Over the course of the program, the Imagineers transition to regular grades at
pre-determined intervals and graduate at the end of the program. Additionally, the top 10.0% of the
cohort are offered a sabbatical for higher education, co-sponsored by Fractal, with the understanding that
they would resume at Fractal upon completion of their respective program.
- Crossover: Our program designed to offer opportunities to talent in the IT services industry to switch
careers into AI and engineering. Selected individuals undergo a five-week program with a mix of courses
focused on technical skills and consulting skills.
- ReBoot: Our 16-week “returnship” program targeting individuals who have taken a career break and
want to transition back into the workforce. We conduct training programs that aim to update their
305technical and professional skills and they also receive on-the-job experience by shadowing and working
on live projects.
We aspire to hire individuals who are humble, hungry and smart. Humble individuals put the team first, give credit
to others, and strive for shared success. Hungry individuals are driven, eager to grow, and take on new challenges.
Smart individuals work effectively with others, using strong interpersonal skills and good judgment.
Learning and development
At Fractal, we believe learning is critical given rapid technological developments in our industry. Every employee
is required to undergo regular training.
We enable our employees to enhance their technical, business and life skills through programs and initiatives such
as (i) Fractal certified programs, (ii) external learning partnerships (such as with Coursera and Skillsoft), (iii)
internal learning programs (such as masterclasses, boot camps and hackathons) through FAA (Fractal Analytics
Academy), our internal skilling academy and Analytics Vidhya, our subsidiary. We have been awarded by
Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards for our accomplishments in learning and development, including the
Gold Medals for “Best Use of AI for learning” and “Best Learning Team” in 2024 and the Training Magazine
APEX award in three consecutive years (2023-2025) for overall learning and development programs and
initiatives.
We use a “problem-solving first” approach for trainings and an application-based training in addition to tools and
techniques-based training. We are focused on building strong leaders at Fractal through our manager development
program that focus on specific development tracks that include self, people management and business skills.
Onboarding
We have built an onboarding program for new employees to feel welcome and included and help them integrate
into the organization faster by providing them information in an engaging and easily consumable manner. Our
onboarding program provides all new joiners a smooth onboarding experience through first impressions,
gamification and evidence-based learning.
Engagement and retention
We implement several initiatives to enhance engagement and retention, beginning with actively listening to our
employees. We have active conversations with all Fractalites through regular one-on-one connects, skip level
meetings and confidential discussions. We also gather feedback through focus group discussions, daily pulse
surveys, annual surveys, anonymous feedback links, quarterly project manager evaluations and upward feedback
surveys for managers. Furthermore, we conduct fortnightly town halls for Fractalites to stay informed about
company developments and provide a platform for posing questions to senior leadership.
Our engagement and retention initiatives include employee stock option plan (ESOP) grants. 4,960 current
employees as of July 31, 2025 have been granted ESOPs. We also have a variable pay policy for our Fractalites,
where variable payout for Fractalites at junior grades is paid out in full every year, while those at the senior level
receive performance-based payouts.
We have implemented policies around employee wellbeing, learning and development, performance management
and career progression, among others, to support our workforce. Our well-being calendar is diversified across
social, emotion, financial, mental and physical well-being. In Fiscal 2025, we conducted several webinars and
workshops on various aspects on well-being.
Our people policies consider the needs of Fractalites and are designed to support them through their personal
journeys as well. As an example, Fractalites (with a tenure of at least two years) can take an extended break or
sabbatical from work to support their quest to innovate, pursue their interest or manage their personal
responsibilities. We have well-defined work from home policies that balance the flexibility requirements of
individuals and their work commitments.
We also have a recognition program to reward employees for their contributions to Fractal and their demonstration
of Fractal values.
Responsible AI Framework
306Our commitment to building a more ethical and accountable AI landscape is reflected in our Responsible AI
(“RAI”) framework and policy guidelines. These initiatives steer our work in AI, engineering and design, to
prioritize safety, fairness and transparency. We maintain several foundational principles for responsible AI,
forming the underlying tenets on our RAI framework, drawing on policy statements, existing laws and legislative
and regulatory proposals from jurisdictions around the world, including:
• Social well-being and Planet-inclusive: In a cost-benefit analysis, AI should be used for a net positive
for humans, society and the planet.
• Privacy & Safety: Controls should be implemented to respect and protect personal and enterprise
information from unauthorized access or misuse.
• Fairness & Equity: AI should be used in ways that promote fair, inclusive and equitable outcomes, with
potential biases and other harms identified and mitigated.
• Robustness and stability: We focus on developing AI systems that operate reliably under various
conditions and are resilient to attacks and errors.
• Accountability: Humans should be responsible and accountable for governance for AI.
• Transparency: AI systems should be understandable to users, explaining how and why decisions are
made, thus demystifying AI processes.
Our RAI framework promotes the following behaviors, which are designed to uphold our foundational principles:
• Contestability: We adopt the "newspaper test", where we consider whether we would be comfortable
with our decisions being reported the following day on the front page of a newspaper.
• Human-Centricity: We prioritize human-centric design, which involves evaluating and mitigating
biases.
• Adaptability: Adaptability in AI refers to the system's ability to update and learn from new data and
improve over time by augmenting signals.
• Upskilling – Future of Work: As AI technologies evolve, there is a need for continuous upskilling of
the workforce, which involves unlearning and relearning positively.
• Explainability: This means that the factors influencing AI decisions should be traceable.
• Attribution: We seek to ensure that creators of content or data used by AI systems are properly
attributed, and endeavor to avoid issues of copyright infringement especially with respect to monetization
of content.
A multipronged strategy is necessary to recognize the limits of the law, markets and changing social norms. We
have created several accelerators to help activate and operationalize responsible AI behaviors in a self-governing
process:
• Codebase: We utilize reusable, scalable and model-agnostic APIs built on an open-source foundation,
fostering transparency and collaboration.
• Education: We offer educational courses and certifications on RAI on the online platform Coursera.
• Adoption: We have a Responsible AI certification process that certifies our products and client solutions,
which includes a nudge toolkit.
• ESG Diagnostic: We incorporate circular economy principles when assessing our operations for ESG
performance.
• Synthetic Data: We use synthetic data in our operations, which allow for customer privacy by design.

309KEY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES
The following is an overview of certain key laws and regulations which are applicable to us. The information
available in this section has been obtained from various legislations, rules and regulations notified thereunder
and other regulatory requirements available in the public domain. The description of laws and regulations set out
below may not be exhaustive and is only intended to provide general information to the Bidders and are neither
designed nor intended to substitute for professional legal advice. The statements below are based on the current
provisions of the law and the judicial, regulatory and administrative interpretations thereof, which are subject to
change or modification by subsequent legislative actions, regulatory, administrative, quasi-judicial, or judicial
decisions.
Given below is a brief description of certain relevant legislations that are currently applicable to the business
carried on by us.
I. Key Regulations and Policies in India
A. Industry-specific Regulations
The Information Technology Act, 2000 (the “IT Act”) and the rules notified thereunder
The IT Act seeks to: (i) provide legal recognition to transactions carried out by various means of electronic data
interchange involving alternatives to paper-based methods of communication and storage of information; (ii)
facilitate electronic filing of documents; and (iii) create a mechanism for the authentication of electronic
documentation through digital signatures. The IT Act provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction over any offence or
contravention under the IT Act committed outside India by any person, irrespective of their nationality, if the act
or conduct constituting the offence or contravention involves a computer, computer system or computer network
located in India. Additionally, the IT Act empowers the Government of India to direct any of its agencies to
intercept, monitor or decrypt any information in the interest of sovereignty, integrity, defense and security of
India, among other things. The Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking for Access of
Information by Public) Rules, 2009 specifically permit the Government of India to block access of any information
generated, transmitted, received, stored or hosted in any computer resource by the public, the reasons for which
are required to be recorded by it in writing.
The IT Act facilitates electronic commerce by recognizing contracts concluded through electronic means, protects
intermediaries in respect of third-party information liability and creates liability for failure to protect sensitive
personal data. The IT Act also prescribes civil and criminal liability including fines and imprisonment for
computer related offences including those relating to unauthorized access to computer systems, tampering with
or unauthorized manipulation of any computer, computer system or computer network and damaging computer
systems, and creates liability for negligence in dealing with or handling any sensitive personal data or information
in a computer resource and in maintaining reasonable security practices and procedures in relation thereto, among
others. Further, the IT Act empowers the Government of India to formulate rules with respect to reasonable
security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data.
The IT Act empowers the Government of India to formulate rules with respect to reasonable security practices
and procedures and sensitive personal data. In exercise of this power, the Department of Information Technology,
(“DoIT”) Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, in April 2011, notified the
Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or
Information) Rules, 2011 (“IT Security Rules”) which prescribe directions for the collection, disclosure, transfer
and protection of sensitive personal data by a body corporate or any person acting on behalf of a body corporate.
The IT Security Rules require every such body corporate to provide a privacy policy for handling and dealing
with personal information, including sensitive personal data, ensuring security of all personal data collected by it
and publishing such policy on its website. The IT Security Rules further require that all such personal data be used
solely for the purposes for which it was collected, and any third party disclosure of such data is made with the
prior consent of the information provider, unless contractually agreed upon between them or where such disclosure
is mandated by law.
Draft India Data Accessibility and Use Policy, 2022
The Draft India Data Accessibility and Use Policy (“Data Policy”) was introduced by the Ministry of Electronics
& Information Technology on February 21, 2022. The Data Policy aims to enhance access, quality, and use of
non-personal data, in line with the current and emerging technology needs of the decade. The primary objectives
310of the policy include: (i) maximizing access to and use of quality non personal data available with public sector;
(ii) enhancing the efficiency of service delivery; (iii) protecting privacy and security of all citizens; (iv) building
digital and data capacity, knowledge and competency of government officials; (v) increasing the availability of
datasets of national importance; and (vi) streamlining inter-government data sharing while maintaining privacy,
etc
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (the “Data Protection Act”)
The Data Protection Act received the assent of the President of India on August 11, 2023 and the provisions of
the Data Protection Act shall come into effect on such date as the Central Government may notify in the official
gazette. The Data Protection Act regulates the collection and processing of digital personal data by persons,
including companies. Further, the Data Protection Act identifies certain companies as ‘significant data fiduciaries’
basis factors including the volume and sensitivity of the personal data possessed. These significant data fiduciaries
will be required to fulfil certain additional obligations under the Data Protection Act including appointment of a
data protection officer who will be the point of contact between such fiduciaries and individuals for grievance
redressal. Further such significant data fiduciaries will also be required to appoint an independent data auditor
who will evaluate their compliance with the Data Protection Act. The Central Government will also establish the
Data Protection Board of India whose key functions include: (i) monitoring compliance and imposing penalties,
(ii) directing data fiduciaries to take necessary measures in the event of a data breach, and (iii) hearing grievances
made by data principals.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has published the Digital Personal Data Protection
Rules, 2025 (“Draft Rules”) for public consultation on January 3, 2025. The Draft Rules facilitate the
implementation of the Digital Protection Act. It aims to strengthen the legal framework for the protection of digital
personal data by providing necessary details and an actionable framework. The Draft Rules lays down various
implementation aspects such as the notice by the data fiduciary to the individuals, registration and obligations of
consent manager, processing of personal data for issuance of subsidy, benefit, services by State, applicability of
reasonable security safeguards, intimation of personal data breach, providing details about availing of the rights
by the individuals, processing of personal data of child or of person with disability, setting up the Data Protection
Board (“Board”), appointment and service conditions of the chairperson and other members of the Board,
functioning of Board as digital office, procedure to appeal to appellate tribunal among others. The Draft Rules are
yet to be approved and notified.
Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 (“SEZ Act”)
A Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”) is a specifically delineated duty-free enclave, deemed to be a foreign territory
for the purposes of trade as well as duties and tariffs. They are regulated and governed by the SEZ Act. The SEZ
Act has been enacted for the establishment, development and management of the SEZs for the promotion of
exports. Under the SEZ laws, any goods or services exported out of, or imported into, or procured from a non-
SEZ area by SEZ units or developers, shall, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations as may be prescribed
by the Government, be exempt from the payment of certain taxes, duties or cess.
A board of approval (“SEZ Board”) has been set up under the SEZ Act, which is responsible for promoting the
SEZ and ensuring its orderly development. The SEZ Board has a number of powers including the authority to
approve proposals for the establishment of the SEZ, the operations to be carried out in the SEZ by the developer,
the foreign collaborations and foreign direct investments.
The Special Economic Zones Rules, 2006 (the “SEZ Rules”)
The SEZ Rules have been enacted to effectively implement the provisions of the SEZ Act. The SEZ Rules provide
for a simplified procedure for a single window clearance from central and state governments for setting up of
SEZs and a “unit” in SEZ. The SEZ Rules also prescribe the procedure for the operation and maintenance of an
SEZ, for setting up and conducting business therein with an emphasis on self-certification and the terms and
conditions subject to which entrepreneur and developer shall be entitled to exemptions, drawbacks and
concessions. The SEZ Rules also provide for the minimum area requirement for various categories of SEZs.
Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (the “Consumer Protection Act”)
The Consumer Protection Act, which repeals the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, was designed and enacted to
provide simpler and quicker access to redress consumer grievances. It inter alia seeks to promote and protect the
interests of consumers against deficiencies and defects in goods or services and secure the rights of a consumer
311against unfair trade practices, which may be practiced by manufacturers, service providers and traders. It provides
for the establishment of consumer disputes redressal forums and commissions for the purposes of redressal of
consumer grievances. In addition to awarding compensation and/or passing corrective orders, the forums and
commissions under the Consumer Protection Act, in cases of misleading and false advertisements, are empowered
to impose imprisonment for a term which may extend to two years and fine which may extend to rupees ten lakhs.
B. Intellectual property laws
Intellectual property in India enjoys protection under both common law and statutes. The key legislations are the
Patents Act, 1970 for patent protection, the Copyright Act, 1957 for copyright protection, and the Trade Marks
Act, 1999 for trademark protection. These enactments provide for the protection of intellectual property by
imposing civil and criminal liability for infringement.
The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (“Trademarks Act”)
The Trademarks Act provides for the application and registration of trademarks in India for granting exclusive
rights to marks such as a brand, label and heading and obtaining relief in case of infringement. The Trademarks
Act also prohibits any registration of deceptively similar trademarks or chemical compounds among others. It also
provides penalties for infringement, falsifying and falsely applying for trademarks. The registration of a trade
mark shall be for a period of 10 years unless cancelled, but may be renewed from time to time as prescribed under
the Trademarks Act. Further, pursuant to the notification of the Trademark (Amendment) Act, 2010, the
simultaneous protection of trademarks in India and other countries has been made available to owners of Indian
and foreign trademarks. The Trademark (Amendment) Act, 2010, also seeks to simplify the law relating to transfer
of ownership of trademarks by assignment or transmission and to conform Indian trademark law with international
practice.
The Patents Act 1970 (“Patents Act”)
The Patents Act governs the patent regime in India. A patent under the Patents Act is an intellectual property right
relating to inventions and grant of exclusive right, for limited period, provided by the Government to the patentee,
in exchange of full disclosure of his invention, for excluding others from making, using, selling and importing the
patented product or process or produce that product. Being a signatory to the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects
of Intellectual Property Rights, India is required to recognize product patents as well as process patents. In addition
to the broad requirement that an invention must satisfy the requirements of novelty, utility and non-obviousness
in order for it to avail patent protection, the Patents Act further provides that patent protection may not be granted
to certain specified types of inventions and materials even if they satisfy the above criteria.
The Copyright Act, 1957
The Copyright Act, 1957, along with the Copyright Rules, 2013 (“Copyright Laws”) governs copyright
protection in India. The Copyright Laws protect the legal rights of the creator of an ‘original work’ by preventing
others from reproducing the work in any other way. The intellectual property protected under the Copyright Laws
includes literary works, dramatic works, musical works, artistic works, cinematography and sound recordings.
Even while copyright registration is not a prerequisite for acquiring or enforcing a copyright in an otherwise
copyrightable work, registration under the Copyright Laws acts as prima facie evidence of the particulars entered
therein and helps expedite infringement proceedings and reduce delay caused due to evidentiary considerations.
The Copyright Laws prescribe a fine, imprisonment or both for violations, with enhanced penalty on second or
subsequent convictions. Upon registration, the copyright protection for a work exists for a period of 60 years
following the demise of the author. Reproduction of a copyrighted work for sale or hire, issuing of copies to the
public, performance or exhibition in public, making a translation of the work, making an adaptation of the work
and making a cinematograph film of the work without consent of the owner of the copyright are all acts which
expressly amount to an infringement of copyright.
Labour laws and regulations
In respect of our business and operations, we are also required to obtain licenses and registrations and make timely
payments as prescribed under certain labour laws, including, Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952, Employee State Insurance Act, 1948 and Contract Labour (Regulations and Abolition Act),
1970. Further, the provisions of local professional tax and shops and establishments legislations applicable in the
states in India where our establishments are set up, require such establishments to be registered such as under the
Maharashtra Shop and Establishments (Regulations of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2017 and
312Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1961, The Tamil Nadu Shops And Establishments Act,
1947 and the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1958 are also applicable to us.
In order to rationalize and reform labour laws in India, the Government of India has enacted four labour codes
that would subsume primarily all the central laws and would collectively form the governing labour legislations,
as and when brought into effect. These four codes are:
• The Industrial Relations Code, 2020 received the assent of the President of India on September 28, 2020,
and it proposes to subsume three existing legislations, namely, the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the
Trade Unions Act, 1926 and the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946. The Industrial
Relations Code, 2020 will come into effect on a date to be notified by the Central Government;
• The Code on Wages, 2019 received the assent of the President of India on August 8, 2019, and proposes
to subsume four existing laws namely, the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, the Minimum Wages Act, 1948,
the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and the Equal Remuneration Act, 1976. Through its notification dated
December 18, 2020, the Government of India brought into force certain sections of the Code on Wages,
2019. The remaining provisions of this code will be brought into force on a date to be notified by the
Government of India;

of India on September 28, 2020 and proposes to subsume certain existing legislations, including the
Factories Act, 1948, the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970, the Inter-State Migrant
Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1979 and the Building and Other
Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996. The
Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code will come into effect on a date to be notified
by the Central Government; and
• The Code on Social Security, 2020 received the assent of the President of India on September 28, 2020
and it proposes to subsume certain existing legislations including the Employee's Compensation Act,
1923, the Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948, the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous
Provisions Act, 1952, the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961, the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, the Building
and Other Construction Workers’ Welfare Cess Act, 1996 and the Unorganized Workers’ Social Security
Act, 2008. Through its notification dated April 30, 2021, the Government of India brought into force
section 142 of the Code on Social Security, 2020. The remaining provisions of this code will be brought
into force on a date to be notified by the Government of India.
C. Tax related legislations
The Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) is levied on supply of goods or services or both jointly by the Central
Government and State Governments. GST provides for imposition of tax on the supply of goods or services and
will be levied by the Central Government and by the state government including union territories on intra-state
supply of goods or services. Further, the Central Government levies GST on the inter-state supply of goods or
services. The GST is enforced through various acts viz. Central Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“CGST”), relevant
state’s Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“SGST”), Union Territory Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“UTGST”),
Integrated Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“IGST”), Goods and Services (Compensation to States) Act, 2017 and
various rules made thereunder.
Further, the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the “Income Tax Act”) is applicable to every company, whether domestic or
foreign whose income is taxable under the provisions of the Income Tax Act or rules made there under depending
upon its “Residential Status” and “Type of Income” involved. The Income Tax Act provides for the taxation of
persons resident in India on global income and persons not resident in India on income received, accruing or
arising in India or deemed to have been received, accrued or arising in India. Every company assessable to income
tax under the Income Tax Act is required to comply with the provisions thereof, including those relating to tax
deduction at source, advance tax, minimum alternate tax, etc. In 2019, the Government has also passed an
amendment act pursuant to which concessional rates of tax are offered to a few domestic companies and new
manufacturing companies.
Customs Act, 1962 (“Customs Act”)
The Customs Act, as amended, regulates import of goods into and export of goods from India by providing for
levy and collection of customs duties on goods in accordance with the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. Any company
313requiring to import or export goods is required to obtain an Importer Exporter Code under Foreign Trade
(Development and Regulation) Act, 1992. Customs duties are administrated by Central Board of Indirect Tax and
Customs under the Ministry of Finance.
D. Environmental Legislations
The Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 (“EPA”)
EP Act empowers the government to take all measures to protect and improve the quality of environment, such
as by laying down standards for emission and discharge of pollutants, providing for restrictions regarding areas
where industries may operate and laying down safeguards for handling hazardous substances, among others. It is
in the form of an umbrella legislation designed to provide a framework for Central Government to coordinate the
activities of various central and state authorities established under previous laws. It is also in the form of an
enabling law, which delegates wide powers to the executive to frame necessary rules and regulations like the
Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, the Batteries (Management and Handling) Rules, 2022,
The E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022.
E. Miscellaneous Laws
Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992 (“FTA”)
The FTA is the main legislation concerning foreign trade in India. The FTA, read along with the Foreign Trade
(Regulation) Rules, 1993, provides for the development and regulation of foreign trade by facilitating imports
into, and augmenting exports from, India and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. It authorizes
the government to formulate as well as announce the foreign trade policy and to keep amending the same on a
timely basis. The government has also been given a wide power to prohibit, restrict and regulate the exports and
imports in general as well as specified cases of foreign trade. The FTA read with the Foreign Trade Policy, 2023,
prohibits anybody from undertaking any import or export except under an importer-exporter code (“IEC”) number
granted by the Director General of Foreign Trade. Hence, every entity in India engaged in any activity involving
import/export is required to obtain an IEC unless specifically exempted from doing so. The IEC shall be valid
until it is suspended or cancelled by the issuing authority. An IEC number allotted to an applicant is valid for all
its branches, divisions, units and factories. Failure to obtain the IEC number shall attract penalty under the FTA.
Foreign Investment Regulations
Foreign investment in India is governed by the provisions of the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999
(“FEMA”), as amended, along with the rules, regulations and notifications made by the Reserve Bank of India
thereunder, and the consolidated FDI Policy (“FDI Policy”) issued by the Department for Promotion of Industry
and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India from time to time. Further, the RBI
has enacted the Foreign Exchange Management (Mode of Payment and Reporting of Non-Debt Instruments)
Regulations, 2019 which regulate the mode of payment and reporting requirements for investments in India by a
person resident outside India. Under the current FDI Policy (effective October 15, 2020), 100% foreign direct
investment in companies engaged in the sector in which we operate.
II. Key Regulations and Policies in USA
Our Material Subsidiary, Fractal USA in the United States is subject to laws and regulations of the jurisdictions
in which it operates. The United States does not have a single national law governing business entities. As a result,
the business entities, including Fractal USA, are subject to a range of foreign, federal, state, and local laws and
regulations. Our operations are also subject to laws and regulations restricting our operations, including activities
involving restricted countries, organizations, entities and persons that have been identified as unlawful actors or
that are subject to US sanctions imposed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, or other international
economic sanctions that prohibit us from engaging in trade or financial transactions with certain countries,
businesses, organizations and individuals. We are also subject to a number of anti-corruption laws, including the
FCPA in the United States, and the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 in India. We are also subject to laws, rules,
regulations and industry standards related to data privacy and cyber security and restrictions or technological
requirements regarding the collection, use, storage, protection, retention or transfer of data. In the United States,
the rules and regulations to which we may be subject include those promulgated under the authority of the Federal
Trade Commission, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act and state cybersecurity and breach notification laws, as well as
regulator enforcement positions and expectations.

Alpha India and Eugenie India (collectively “Transferors”) with Senseforth AI (“Transferee”)

Mumbai (“Tribunal”) under Sections 230 to 232 read with Section 66 and 52 of the Companies Act, 2013, and
the rules made thereunder to obtain a sanction of the Tribunal for the scheme of arrangement (“Scheme”) amongst
the Transferors and Transferee through (i) amalgamation of Transferors with and into the Transferee; and (ii)
reduction of paid-up equity share capital of the Transferee.
The effective date of the Scheme will be considered as the date on which the last of the approval or event of the
Scheme is obtained or satisfied from the Tribunal (“Effective Date”). The Scheme will be made effective from
April 1, 2024, or such other date as may be fixed or approved by the Tribunal (“Appointed Date”). The rationale
for the Scheme is that the Transferors and Transferee are part of the same group, therefore the management of
Transferors and Transferee are contemplating to simplify the holding structure through the amalgamation of
Transferors with and into the Transferee and reduction of paid-up equity share capital of the Transferee with effect
from the Appointed Date.

the transfer and vesting of the assets and liabilities of the Transferors to the Transferee, the Transferee will issue
and allot equity shares to the shareholders of the Transferors. The fair share exchange ratio for the amalgamation
was determined based on the valuation report dated December 16, 2024, issued by Rashmi Shah, FCA Registered
Valuer, prepared using the discounted cash flows method and the net asset value method.

Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
The restated consolidated financial information :
a) have been prepared after incorporating adjustments for the regrouping / reclassifications retrospectively in the
financial years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 to reflect the same accounting treatment as per the
accounting policies and grouping / classifications followed as at and for the year ended March 31, 2025.

c) have been prepared in accordance with the Act, ICDR Regulations and Guidance Note.
The restated consolidated financial information is presented in Indian rupees (INR), which is the Company’s
functional currency. All values are rounded off to nearest million, except when otherwise indicated. Amount
denoted as ‘0’ is less than Rs 1 million in the restated consolidated financial information.
B. Basis of preparation and presentation
These restated consolidated financial information have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting
Standards (Ind AS) notified under section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant provisions of the Act.
The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the Group in preparation of the restated consolidated
financial information and are consistent with those adopted in the preparation of restated consolidated financial
information for the year ended March 31, 2025. These restated consolidated financial information do not reflect
the effects of events that occurred subsequent to the respective dates of auditor’s reports on the audited
consolidated financial statements mentioned above.
Basis of Consolidation
The restated consolidated financial information comprise the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries and its associate as at and for the year ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
The restated consolidated financial information are prepared on historical cost basis, except for derivative
financial instruments, investment in mutual funds and equity / preference securities and share based payment
arrangements which are measured at fair value; net defined benefit (asset) / liability is measured at present value
of defined obligation less fair value of plan asset (refer note 2.10)
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the
extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
2.2 Business Combination
(i) The Group accounts for each business combination by applying the acquisition method. The acquisition date
is the date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgment is applied in determining the acquisition
date and determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
(ii) Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the
entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
(iii) The Group measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of the consideration
transferred less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities in case such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and
its fair value can be measured reliably) assumed. When fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognized in the OCI
and accumulated in equity as capital reserve if there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for
classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase.
(iv) Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by the
Company to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the Company. Consideration
transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration transferred does not
388Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
include amounts related to settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in
the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
(v) Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay
contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is
not remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise subsequent changes in the fair
value of the contingent consideration are recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
(vi) Transaction costs that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination, such as finder’s fees,
legal fees, due diligence fees and other professional and consulting fees, are expensed as incurred.
(vii) Non-controlling interest is measured at proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s
identifiable net assets.
Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
2.3 Loss of control
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity
transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
(i) Derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary.
(ii) Derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests.
(iii) Derecognises the cumulative translation differences recorded in equity.
(iv) Recognises the fair value of the consideration received.
(v) Recognises any surplus or deficit in in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
(vi) Reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in OCI to profit and loss or retained
earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Group had directly disposed off the related assets or
liabilities.
2.4 Investment in associate
(i) An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence. Significant influence is the power
to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but has no control or joint control
of those policies. Investments in associate is accounted for using the equity method unless otherwise stated.
(ii) Under the equity method, on initial recognition the investment in an associate is recognised at deemed cost.
The carrying amount of the investment in associate is increased or decreased to recognise the Group’s share
of the profit or loss after the date of acquisition, unless the share purchase agreement specify otherwise. When
necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group. Unrealised
gains and losses on transactions between the Group and its associate are eliminated to the extent of the
Group’s interest in those entities. Where unrealised losses are eliminated, the underlying asset is also tested
for impairment.
(iii) Pursuant to change in ownership interest in associate, the Group has continued to apply equity method. The
gain or loss on the change in ownership interest in an equity-accounted investee is calculated as the difference
between:
the entity's ownership interest in the new assets received by the investee for the subscription of the new
shares; and
the reduction in ownership interest in the previous carrying amount and any resulting gain or loss is
recognised in restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
389Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
2.5 Property, plant and equipment (‘PPE’)
All items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the
acquisition of the items. Such cost includes its purchase price including inward freight, duties, taxes and all
incidental expenses incurred to bring the asset to its present location and condition.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of
the item can be measured reliably.
Capital work in progress includes cost of PPE under development as at the restated consolidated statement of
assets and liabilities date and is carried at cost, comprising of direct cost and directly attributable cost.
The carrying amount of PPE is eliminated from the restated consolidated financial information, either on disposal
or when retired from active use. Losses / gains arising on derecognition of the PPE is recognised in the restated
consolidated statement of profit and loss.
The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when it is replaced or
retired or discarded. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to restated consolidated statement of profit and
loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation
Depreciation on PPE is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. The management
basis its past experience has estimated the useful lives, which is at variance with the life prescribed in Part C of
Schedule II to the Act and has accordingly, depreciated the assets over such useful lives.
Useful life of assets considered are as below:
Description of assets Useful life of assets
Furniture and fixtures 10 years
Office equipment 3 years
Leasehold improvements Over the period of lease
Computers and accessories 3 - 6 years
2.6 Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
The intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Cost
comprises of the acquisition price, and any cost directly attributable and allocable on a reasonable basis for
making the asset ready for its intended use.
Intangible assets under development includes intellectual property under development as at the restated
consolidated statement of assets and liabilities date. Product development costs are incurred on developing /
upgrading the software products to launch new service modules and functionality to provide an enhanced suite of
services. These development costs are capitalized and recognised as an intangible asset when the following can be
demonstrated:
The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
Its ability and intention to use or sell the asset;
The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset; and
The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible assets and probability of how
the same will generate future economic benefits.
390Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
assets to which it relates and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognised in
the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss as incurred.
Amortization
Amortization is recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the
estimated useful lives of the intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Description of assets Useful life of assets (Years)
Computer Software 3
Client Relationships 3 -10
Patent 3
Brand 5
Developed Content 10
Internally generated intellectual property 3-5
The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset are reviewed at the end of each
financial year. Changes in the expected useful life are considered to modify the amortisation period and are treated
as changes in accounting estimates.
Intangible assets are amortised over their expected useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
An intangible asset is de-recognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with carrying amount.
These are included in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets
Consideration is given at each restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment of the carrying amount of the Groups’ each class of non-financial assets. If
any indication exists, an asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net
selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their
present value based on an appropriate discount factor. Intangible assets under development are tested for
impairment annually.
Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred, together with the amount of non-controlling interest
in the acquiree, over the fair value of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is measured
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested
for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired.
The goodwill acquired in a business combination is, for the purpose of impairment testing, allocated to cash-
generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Any impairment loss for
goodwill is recognised directly in restated consolidated statement of profit and loss. They are first used to reduce
the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to CGU and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets
in the CGU on a pro rate basis. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
In respect of other assets for which impairment loss has been recognised in prior periods, the Group reviews at
each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment
loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Such a
391Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
reversal is made only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. On
disposal of a cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated, the goodwill associated with the disposed cash-
generating unit is included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit when determining the gain or loss
on disposal.
2.8 Foreign Currency Translation
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the restated consolidated financial information of the Group are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). These restated
consolidated financial information are presented in Indian Rupees (INR), which is functional and presentation
currency of the Parent Company.
Transactions and balances
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised using exchange rates prevailing on the date of
transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional
currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date and foreign exchange gain or loss are recognised in
restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transaction.
Group Companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the
presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the restated consolidated statement of
assets and liabilities
income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions or an average rate if the average rate
approximates the actual rate at the date of the transaction
On consolidation, exchange differences are recognized in OCI and accumulated in equity (as exchange differences
on translating the financial statements of a foreign operation).
2.9 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies performance obligations under the terms of its contracts, and
control of the services is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group
expects to receive from its customers in exchange for those services. This process involves identifying the
customer contract, determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price,
allocating the transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract, and recognizing revenue
when the performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other
obligations in a contract when it:
(a) provides a benefit to the customer either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available
to the customer and;
(b) is separately identified in the contract. The Group considers a performance obligation satisfied once it has
transferred control of services to the customer, meaning the customer has the ability to use and obtain the benefit
from the services rendered.
392Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
Revenue from time and material contracts is recognised as and when services are performed on output basis
measured by efforts expended.
Revenue related to fixed price retainership contracts is recognised based on time elapsed and is recognised on a
straight-line basis over the period of performance.
In respect of other fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised using percentage-of-completion method (‘POC
method’) with contract costs incurred determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
Subscription income consist of fees from customers accessing Group’s cloud based software solutions. Revenues
are generally recognized over the period when control of these services is transferred to customers, in an amount
that reflects the consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The Group’s subscription
arrangements are considered service contracts and the customer does not have the right to take possession of the
software.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts,
price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue also excludes
taxes collected from customers.
Contract assets are recognised when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets
are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive
cash, and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.
Unearned and deferred revenue (‘contract liability’) is recognised when there are billings in excess of revenues.
The billing schedules agreed with customers include periodic performance-based payments and / or milestone
based progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period.
Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Group
reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could
be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a
change.
In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation, a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.
2.10 Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
The Group’s contribution to Provident fund are considered as defined contribution plans and are charged as an
expense based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered by the
employees.
Defined benefit plans
For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method,
with actuarial valuations being carried out at each year end. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and
losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is reflected
immediately in the restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities with a charge or credit recognised in
restated consolidated other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
The retirement benefit obligations recognised in the restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities
represents the present value of the defined benefit obligations reduced by the fair value of scheme assets. Any
393Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
asset resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of available refunds and reductions in future
contributions to the scheme.
The Group provides benefits such as gratuity to its employees which are treated as defined benefit plans.
Short-term employee benefits
The undiscounted amount of short-term employee benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the services
rendered by employees are recognised during the year when the employees render the service. These benefits
include performance linked incentive and compensated absences in few geographies which are expected to occur
within twelve months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the related service.
Compensated absences are measured basis accrual for unutilized leave balance determined for the entire available
leave balance outstanding to the credit of the employees at period-end. The leave balance eligible for carry-
forward is valued at gross compensation cost.
2.11 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end
of the reporting period. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the restated consolidated
statement of profit and loss because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and
items that are not taxable or deductible.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised
amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
restated consolidated financial information and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable
profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets
are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable
profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences and the carry forward of unused tax
losses can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that
affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit at the time of the transaction and does not give rise to
equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to
be recovered and any such reduction shall be reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable
profit will be available.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the
liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the end of the reporting period.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the
manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of
its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the
recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle the asset and the liability on a net basis.
394Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss, except when they
relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current
and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
2.12 Leases
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for office premises. The Group assesses whether a
contract contains a lease, at inception of the contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the
right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether
a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether:
(i) the contract involves the use of an identified asset
(ii)the group has substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset through the period of the lease and
(iii) the group has the right to direct the use of the asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, the group recognizes a right-of-use asset (‘ROU’) and a corresponding
lease liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a term of twelve months or
less (short-term leases) and low value leases. For these short-term and low value leases, the group recognizes the
lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The group recognises right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term at the
lease commencement date. The cost of the right -of-use asset measured at inception shall comprise of the amount
of the initial measurement of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in
dismantling and removing the underlying asset or restoring the underlying asset or site on which it is located. The
right -of-use assets is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation, accumulated impairment
losses, if any and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use assets is depreciated using
the straight -line method from the commencement date over the lease term.
The group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date of the lease. The lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate. Lease
liabilities are remeasured with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of use asset if the group changes its
assessment as to whether it will exercise an extension or a termination option.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the restated consolidated statement of assets and
liabilities and lease payments have been classified as financing activity in restated consolidated statement of cash
flows.
The Group does not have any lease contracts wherein it acts as a lessor.
2.13 Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
A. Financial assets
(i) Classification, recognition and measurement:
Financial assets are initially recognized at fair value when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions
of the instrument except for trade receivables which are initially measured at transaction price.
395Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
a) those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through
profit and loss), and
b) those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification depends on the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and whether the
contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in restated consolidated statement of
profit and loss or other comprehensive income. For investments in debt instruments, this will depend on the
business model in which the investment is held. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on
whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity
investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Instruments in hedging relationship
The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations on foreign currency assets, liabilities, net investment in
foreign operations and forecasted cashflows denominated in foreign currency. The Company limits the effect of
foreign exchange rate fluctuation by following established risk management policies including the use of
derivatives. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments where the counterparty is primarily a bank.
The Company holds derivative financial instruments such as foreign exchange forward and option contracts.
The hedge instruments are designated and documented as hedges at the inception of the contract. The Company
determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on
the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The effectiveness of hedge instruments to reduce
the risk associated with the exposure being hedged is assessed and measured at inception and on an ongoing basis.
If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, then the amounts that have been accumulated in
other equity are immediately reclassified in net foreign exchange gains in the restated consolidated statement of
profit and loss.
The effective portion of change in the fair value of the designated hedging instrument is recognised in the other
comprehensive income and accumulated under the heading effective portion of gains / (Loss) on derivatives
designated as cashflow hedge.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or no longer
qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in
equity till that time remains and is recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss when the
forecasted transaction ultimately affects profit and loss. Any gain or loss is recognised immediately in the restated
consolidated statement of profit and loss when the hedge becomes ineffective.
Instruments not in hedging relationship
The Group enters into contracts that are effective as hedges from an economic perspective, but they do not qualify
for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of such instrument is recognised in the restated consolidated
statement of profit and loss.
Impairment
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Group applies Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss on the following financial assets and credit risk exposure:
a) Financial assets that are debt instruments, and are measured at amortized cost e.g., loans, deposits, and
bank balance.
b) Trade receivables
c) Contract assets
398Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
The Group follows ‘simplified approach’ for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables which
do not contain a significant financing component.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Group to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it
recognises impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial
recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets and risk exposure, the Group determines that whether
there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. The Group applies a simplified
approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a
loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is
based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors.
(ii) Derecognition of financial assets:
A financial asset is derecognised only when
(a) The contractual terms to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or the Group has transferred the
rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset in which either substantially all of the risks and rewards
of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all
of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments:
Debt and equity instruments issued by an entity are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in
accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an
equity instrument.
Classification, recognition and measurement:
(a) Equity Instruments:
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all
of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognised at the proceeds received, net of direct issue
costs.
(b) Financial liabilities:
Initial recognition and measurement:
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value minus any transaction costs that are attributable to the
issue of the financial liabilities except financial liabilities at FVTPL which are initially measured at fair value.
Subsequent measurement:
The financial liabilities are classified for subsequent measurement into following categories:
- at amortized cost
- at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
(i) Financial liabilities at amortized cost:
The Group is classifying the following under amortized cost;
- Borrowings from banks
- Borrowings from others
- Trade payables
399Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
Amortized cost for financial liabilities represents amount at which financial liability is measured at initial
recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest
method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount.
(ii) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss:
Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement,
recognised in restated consolidated statement of profit and loss. The net gain or loss recognised in the restated
consolidated statement of profit and loss incorporates any interest paid on the financial liability.
Derecognition:
A financial liability is removed from the restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities when the
obligation is discharged, or is cancelled, or expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially
modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the
recognition of a new liability. The difference in the carrying amounts extinguished and consideration paid is
recognised in the restated consolidated statement of profit and loss.
2.14 Fair value measurement:
The Group measures financial instruments such as, certain investments and derivative instruments, at fair value at
each year end.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
- In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
- In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Group.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the restated consolidated financial
information are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input
that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
• Level 3 — Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in the following notes:

Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
2.15 Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events,
it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably
estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle
the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the
liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived by the Group from a
contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is
measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net
cost of continuing with the contract. Before a provision is established, the Group recognizes any impairment loss
on the assets associated with that contract.
Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of
which will be confirmed only by occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required to settle or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets are not recognised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related
asset is no longer a contingent asset, and is recognised as an asset. Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent
assets are reviewed at each year end.
2.16 Share-based payments:
The cost of equity-settled transactions with employees is measured at fair value at the date such share awards are
granted. The fair value of share awards is determined with the assistance of an external valuer and the fair value at
the grant date is expensed on a proportionate basis over the vesting period based on the Group’s estimate of shares
that will eventually vest. The estimate of the number of awards likely to vest is reviewed at each year end up to the
vesting date at which point the estimate is adjusted to reflect the current expectations.
2.17 Segment reporting:
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating
decision maker to make decisions for which discrete financial information is available. Based on the management
approach as defined in Ind AS 108, the chief operating decision maker evaluates the Group’s performance and
allocates resources based on an analysis of various performance indicators.
2.18 Cash and cash equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents in the restated consolidated statement of assets and liabilities comprises cash at bank
and on hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an
insignificant risk of changes in value.
2.19 Government grants:
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all
attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as reduction
from expense on a systematic basis over the period of the related costs.

(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
2.20 Earnings per share:
The basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax for the year
attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year.
Ordinary shares that will be issued upon the conversion of a mandatorily convertible instrument are included in
the calculation of basic earnings per share from the date the contract is entered into.
The diluted earnings per share (‘DEPS’) is computed by dividing the net profit / (loss) after tax for the year
attributable to the equity shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the
year, as adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.
2.21 Current / Non-current classification:
An asset is classified as current if:
(a) it is expected to be realised or sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) it is expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d) it is cash or a cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at
least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current if:
(a) it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
(b) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) it is expected to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
(d) the Group has no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash and cash
equivalents. The Group’s normal operating cycle is twelve months.
2.22 Significant accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions:
The preparation of the Group’s restated consolidated financial information in conformity with Ind AS requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to
the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The estimates and associated assumptions are
based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances
existing when the restated consolidated financial information were prepared. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates is recognised in the year in which
the estimates are revised and in any future year affected.
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgements
which have significant effect on the amounts recognised in the restated consolidated financial information:
a. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets: The Group reviews the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and intangibles at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may
result in change in depreciation and amortisation expense in future periods.
b. Defined benefit plan: The cost of the defined benefit gratuity obligation is determined using actuarial
valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and
402Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
attrition rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined benefit
obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting
date.
c. Allowances for uncollected accounts receivable and advances: Trade receivables do not carry interest and
are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.
Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not collectable. Impairment is made
on the expected credit loss model, which is the present value of the cash shortfall over the expected life of the
financial assets. The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on assumption about the risk of
default and expected loss rates. Judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the
impairment calculation are based on past history, existing market condition as well as forward looking
estimates at the end of each reporting period.
d. Provisions and contingencies: The Group estimates the provisions that have present obligations as a result of
past events and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These
provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates. The Group uses significant judgements to assess contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are
disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be confirmed
only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow
of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recognised nor disclosed in the restated consolidated financial information.
e. Share-based payments: The Group measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees using
Black-Scholes and binomial model to determine the fair value of the liability incurred on the grant date.
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most appropriate
valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires
determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share
option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The assumptions and models used
for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed in Note 31.
f. Provision for income tax and deferred tax assets: The Group uses judgements based on the relevant rulings
in the areas of allocation of revenue, costs, allowances and disallowances which is exercised while determining
the provision for income tax. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be
utilised. Accordingly, the Group exercises its judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets
at the end of each reporting period.
g. Revenue recognition:
The Group exercises judgement in determining whether the performance obligation is satisfied at a point in
time or over a period of time. The Group considers indicators such as how customer consumes benefits as
services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable right to
payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of significant risks and
rewards to the customer, acceptance of delivery by the customer, etc.
Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognised using percentage-of-completion method. The Group estimates
the future cost-to-completion of the contracts which is used to determine the degree of the completion of the
performance obligation.
403Fractal Analytics Limited
(formerly known as Fractal Analytics Private Limited)
Annexure V – Material Accounting Policies to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
h. Leases:
The Group evaluates if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116.
Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Group uses significant judgement in assessing the
lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate.
The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods
covered by an option to extend the lease if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods
covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Group is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In
assessing whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an
option to terminate a lease, it considers all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive
for the Group to exercise the option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. The
Group revises the lease term if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease.
The discount rate is generally based on the incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated.
2.23 Recent Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS)
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For the year ended March 31,
2025, MCA has notified Ind AS 117 – Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating
to sale and leaseback transactions, applicable to the Group w.e.f. April 1, 2024. The Group has reviewed the
new pronouncements and based on its evaluation has determined that it does not have any significant impact in
its restated consolidated financial information.
2.24 Amendment issued but not effective
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) amended the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules,
2015, through a notification dated May 7, 2025, introducing changes to Ind AS 21 – The Effects of Changes in
Foreign Exchange Rates, effective from April 1, 2025. These amendments provide guidance on assessing
whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency and on estimating the spot exchange rate when a
currency is not exchangeable.
The Group has considered these amendments and believe that there is no material impact on the restated
consolidated financial information.

anticipatedfutureeconomicandregulatoryconditions.Theestimatedcashflowsaredevelopedusinginternalforecasts.ThediscountratesusedfortheCGUsrepresenttheweightedaveragecostofcapital
based on the historical market returns of comparable companies.
The goodwill amount for respective years (relating to different CGUs individually) has been evaluated based on the cash flow forecasts of the related CGUs over a period of five years and the recoverable
amounts of these CGUs exceeded their carrying amounts.
An analysis of the sensitivity of the computation to a change in key parameters (operating margin, discount rates and long term average growth rate), based on reasonable assumptions, did not identify any
probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below its carrying amount as on date.
The estimated value-in-use of CGUs is based on the future cash flows using 3% to 5% as at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024 : 3% to 5%, March 31, 2023 : 3% to 5%) terminal growth rate and discount rate
of 18% to 25% as at March 31, 2025 (March 31, 2024 : 18% to 30%, March 31, 2023 : 18% to 30%).
The discount rate is based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) which represents the weighted average return attributable to all the assets of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU).

a) During the year ended March 31, 2025, Finance Act 2024 was passed and there were amendments in the manner of calculation of long-term capital gain. Further, the Finance Act, 2024 reduced the tax rate on long term capital gain from previously 20% to 12.5% (excluding
applicable surcharge and education cess thereon). Consequently to above amendments, the Company has reversed the deferred tax liability of Rs 370 million in the year ended March 31, 2025. The Group has created additional deferred tax liability of Rs 42 million on
remeasurement gain on retained interest in associate Company recorded under exceptional items.
b) For one of the foreign subsidiary, the Group has recognised deferred tax asset on unutilised losses to the extent that it believes that it will be able to generate sufficient taxable profit in the near future, based on various internal measures taken, against which unused losses and
thereby such deferred tax assets can be realised. Further, no deferred tax assets has been recognised on balance tax losses and deductible temporary differences of Rs 971 million (March 31, 2024- Rs 1,008 million, March 31, 2023 - Rs 1,043 million).
(b) The tax losses of the Group will lapse in subsequent years as follows:

f.Funding arrangements and Funding Policy
The Parent Company has purchased an insurance policy to provide for payment of gratuity to the employees. Every year, the insurance company carries out a funding valuation based on the latest employee data provided by the Parent Company. Any deficit in
the assets arising as a result of such valuation is funded by the Parent Company.
g.Expected contribution during the next annual reporting period : The Group's best estimate of contribution during the next year is Rs 159 Millions.
h.Interest rate risk
The plan is defined benefit in nature which is sponsored by the parent Company and hence it underwrites all the risk pertaining to the plan. In particular, this exposes the Parent Company to the actual risk such as adverse salary growth, changes in
demographic experience, inadequate return on underlying plan assets. This may result in an increase in cost of providing these benefits to the employees in future. Since the benefits are lumpsum in nature, the plan is not subject to any longevity risks.

(30) Financial risk management framework
The Parent Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework. Additionally, the Board for each Group entity is responsible for developing
and monitoring the risk management policies. The Board holds regular meetings on its activities.
The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and
systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and each Company’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to maintain a disciplined and constructive
control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Board oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group.
a) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers.
Financial instruments that are subject to concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, cash and cash equivalents and other balances with banks. None of the financial instruments of the Group
result in material concentration of credit risk.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents and other deposits with banks is limited as the Group generally keep the funds in the banks with high credit ratings, accordingly the Group considers that the related credit risk is minimal.
Trade receivables
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the
default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate.
A default on a financial asset is when the counterparty fails to make contractual payments when they fall due. This definition of default is determined by considering the business environment in which entity operates and other
macro-economic factors.
Credit quality of a customer is assessed based on its credit worthiness. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored.
The management uses a simplified approach for the purpose of computation of expected credit loss for trade receivables.
The Group's exposure to customers is diversified and one customer contribute to more than 10% of outstanding trade receivables (including unbilled receivables) as at March 31, 2025 (two customer as at March 31, 2024, one
customer as at March 31, 2023).
The movement in the allowance for expected credit loss in respect of trade receivables is as follows :
(in Rupees million)
Particulars March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
Balance at the beginning of the year 1 00 66 22
Movement during the year 23 34 44
Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations 0 0 0
Balance at the end of the year 123 100 66
Loans and other financial assets
Loans and other financial assets mainly consists of security deposits and loan to related party. The security deposits pertains to rent deposits given to lessors. The Company does not expect any losses from non performance by
these parties including loans to related party, accordingly the Group considers that the credit risk is low on these assets.
Investments
Investments primarily include investment in liquid mutual fund units with high credit ratings assigned by external credit rating agencies, accordingly the Group considers that the related credit risk is low.
Derivatives
The derivatives are entered into with banks with good credit ratings.
b) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing
liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due. The Group has access to undrawn revolving credit facility as at March 31, 2025 amounting to Rs 2,649 million
(USD 31 million) (Rs 2,333 million (USD 28 million) as at March 31, 2024 and Rs 1,479 million (USD 18 million) March 31, 2023) which could be used for the working capital needs as and when required.

(c) Market risk
Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market prices – such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates – that will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable
to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long term debt. The Group is exposed to market risk primarily related to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and
the market value of the investments. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency.
(i) Currency risk
The Group is exposed to currency risk on account of foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the company's functional currency. The Group ensures that the
net exposure is kept to an acceptable level.

(ii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates or change in interest rate on account of non compliance of covenants on
borrowings. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The Group manages its interest rate risk by having a balanced portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings.
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk on the borrowing outstanding in the books at the end of each reporting year pursuant to movement in Term SOFR / LIBOR. The interest reset period or the amortization schedule is not
fixed under this credit facility and hence the same has not been hedged.
Sensitivity analysis
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings affected, after the impact of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, the
Group's profit after tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
(in Rupees million)

- Decrease by 1% 20 20 26
(iii) Capital management
The Group aims to manage its capital efficiently so as to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to optimise returns to its shareholders. The capital structure is based on management’s judgement of the
appropriate balance of key elements in order to meet its strategic and day-to-day needs. The 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.

Overview
Founded in 2000, we are a globally recognized enterprise artificial intelligence (“AI”) company (source: Everest
Report), with a vision to power human decisions in our clients’ enterprises by leveraging AI. We support large
global enterprises with data-driven insights and assist them in their decision making through our end-to-end AI
solutions. We build our AI solutions by leveraging our technical, domain and functional capabilities built over
our operating history of over 25 years. As of March 31, 2025, our full suite of AI solutions is organized under two
segments: Fractal.ai (comprising AI services and AI products primarily hosted on Cogentiq) and Fractal Alpha
(comprising AI businesses). Through these two segments, we cater to the diverse business needs of our clients
across industries and business functions.
463Figure 1 – Fractal segments
Fractal.ai consists of AI services and AI products – our AI products are primarily hosted on Cogentiq, our flagship
agentic AI platform designed to help product owners and enterprises accelerate building and upgrading products
through a pre-built suite of agents, tools, connectors with in-built low-code, security, governance, auditability and
inter-operability features; while Fractal Alpha consists of independent AI businesses that target Fractal.ai’s core
“Must Win Clients” (“MWCs”, which we define as enterprises that meet one of the three criteria: (i) over US$10
billion in revenue, (ii) over US$20 billion in market capitalization, or (iii) over 30 million end-customers) and
broader markets and new geographies, with each business under separate management.
We work with large global enterprise clients to help them navigate the entire life cycle of AI transformation from
ideation to adoption to drive decisions in the enterprise. Our ability to address clients’ problems across industries
is driven by our deep technical, domain and functional expertise. We integrate AI, engineering and design
(“AED”) to power decisions in our clients’ enterprises and our strategic intent is to create outsized value for every
client we work with. In this process, we aspire to become the most respected enterprise AI company globally.
For more details on our business, see “Our Business” on page 267.
Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion of factors that have had and we expect will continue to have a significant effect on
our financial condition and results of operations.
Our ability to acquire, retain and expand client relationships
Acquire
Our success depends on our ability to attract clients, specifically our focus client base of MWCs. The following
table shows the number of MWCs for the years indicated:
Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
MWCs (number) 113 110 107
From an industry perspective, we focus on acquiring new clients in our target industries of consumer packaged
goods (“CPG”) & retail (together with CPG, “CPGR”), technology, media and telecom (“TMT”), healthcare and
life sciences (“HLS”) and banking, financial services and insurance (“BFSI”) in our target geographies across
Americas, Europe and APAC.
At the start of our relationship with a client, our new logo acquisition teams and partnership & alliances teams,
adopting the Fractal Approach, engage closely with the client to identify the right problem to start and scale the
engagement. For more information, see “Our Business – Fractal Approach” on page 281. Once the relationship
has matured, it transitions to one of our industry practice teams, where we continue to focus on strengthening the
client relationship by gaining a deeper understanding of their business functions and their specific areas of focus.
464Our marketing team builds our market position and branding amongst existing and prospective clients and the
community of AI & analytics professionals, by focusing on four key pillars (i) showcasing thought leadership
focused on AI, engineering and design, (ii) engaging with industry analysts, (iii) hosting and participating in
exclusive and relevant events and (iv) sharing inspiring stories of Fractalites and culture-in-action at Fractal. For
further details, see “Our Business – Sales and Marketing” on page 251.
The following table shows a breakdown of our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment by industries
serviced for the years indicated:

our Fractal.ai segment
Note:
(1) Others comprise primarily energy, travel and industrials.
Our ability to grow our client base depends on the strength of our brand, marketing, sales efforts to acquire new
clients and our ability to continuously invent and invest to benefit our clients. Through acquiring new clients, our
revenue from operations has also correspondingly demonstrated consistent growth. The requirements of our
clients vary across industries, geographies and service or technical requirements. To service and grow our
relationships with our existing clients and to win new clients, we must provide them with AI solutions that address
their requirements, anticipate and understand trends in their markets and continually address their requirements
as they change and evolve. If we are able to anticipate and respond to our client’s requirements on a timely and
cost-efficient basis, we could receive repeat business from existing clients.
We intend to acquire new clients, with a specific focus on MWCs in our strategic markets, and we have added
industrial expertise across new industries, such as pharmaceutical, energy, travel and automotive. We have also
accelerated our ecosystem of partnerships and alliances, which further enables us to acquire new clients. We have
dedicated client acquisition teams for our respective industry segments who work together with our partnerships
and alliances.
Retain and expand
One of our key values is to be “client first”. We strive to be a strategic partner to our clients by delivering a wide
range of end-to-end AI solutions across business functions and teams. We seek to expand our relationships by
solving additional business problems within departments, scaling successful solutions to new locations and
establishing partnerships with new departments within the same organization, which allows us the opportunity to
evolve from a vendor into a comprehensive AI partner seeking to drive lasting value across our clients’ entire
organizations. We help our clients’ power decisions in the enterprise by helping them navigate the entire life cycle
of building multiple AI solutions, from ideation to adoption. Our ability to address industry-specific challenges
through client-specific solutions across business functions is driven by our deep technical, domain and functional
expertise. This expertise allows us to integrate technology within our clients’ business context to address their
business problems.
Our ability to increase sales to existing clients, which we measure through Net Revenue Retention, depends on a
number of factors, including client satisfaction with our services, which we measure through Net Promoter Scores
(“NPS”); their willingness to avail additional services from us; and the size of the client and their engagement
term with us.
Net Revenue Retention. Net Revenue Retention in our Fractal.ai segment measures how effectively we retain and
expand revenue from our existing clients over a defined period and is calculated by comparing the current period’s
revenue from the same set of clients who existed at the start of the period, with their revenue in the previous period
— including the effects of upsells, cross-sells and contractions. The table below sets out our Net Revenue
Retention for the years indicated.
465Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Net Revenue Retention 121.3% 110.2% 151.0%
Net Promoter Score. NPS is used in Fractal.ai segment to gauge client satisfaction and advocacy. Clients rate us
on a 10-point scale on their willingness to recommend Fractal and NPS is calculated as the percentage of promoters
(scores of 9-10) minus the percentage of detractors (scores of 6 and below) (source: 1Lattice Report).

Size of client and client terms. As of March 31, 2025, we worked with 10 of the 20 largest CPG companies, eight
of the 20 largest TMT companies, three of the 20 largest BFSI companies, 10 of the 20 largest HLS companies
and five of the 20 largest retail companies based on Fiscal 2025 revenue (source: Everest Report). We have served
our top ten clients by revenue in our Fractal.ai segment in Fiscal 2025 (who contributed 53.8% to our revenue
from operations in our Fractal.ai segment) for an average of more than eight years. The table below sets out our
number of clients by annual revenue above US$20 million, US$10 million, US$5 million and US$1 million in the
years indicated.

Pricing Model
The fees we charge our clients depend on the type of contract, the type of engagement, the AI solutions provided
and the locations of personnel involved. Our contracts have four principal types of pricing models: (i) fixed price,
(ii) subscription and licensing revenue (iii) output based and (iv) time and material, depending largely on a client’s
preference and internal specifications. The fees we charge our clients depend on the type of contracts, the type of
engagement, the AI solution provided to a client and the mix and locations of personnel involved:
• Fixed price contracts: Under such contracts, the scope and price are agreed at the time of signing the
contract. Our assessment of the execution risk is made on a case-to-case basis, considering type and
complexity of engagement, skill mix required, length of engagement and geographic coverage. Revenue
for fixed price retainership contracts is recognized based on time elapsed and is recognized on a straight-
line basis over the period of performance. In respect of other fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized
using the percentage-of-completion method (“POC method”) with contract costs incurred determining
the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
• Subscription based contracts: Certain contracts for our AI products are license and /or subscription
based, under which we charge our clients a license / subscription fee based on the terms of the
engagement.
• Output-based contracts: Such contracts are based on an agreed upon output with the client. We recognize
revenue under such contracts using milestones of agreed outputs completed or final output at completion.
• Time-and-material contracts: We charge our clients based on the number of employees assigned or the
actual time expended towards the engagement. We are compensated for actual time incurred by our
employees or contractors at agreed hourly/daily/monthly rates. Revenue under such contracts is
recognized as services are rendered over time.
Our ability to leverage the latest trends in the fast-changing AI industry
AI is one of the biggest technological waves to date and is being leveraged by enterprises to guide their business
strategies and optimize routine business operations (source: Everest Report). As we offer services across the data,
analytics and AI (“DAAI”) value chain, the overall DAAI market size can be interpreted as our total addressable
market (“TAM”), valued at an estimated US$143 billion (₹12 trillion) in Fiscal 2025 and expected to grow at a
466CAGR of 16.7% to US$310 billion (₹23 trillion) by Fiscal 2030 (source: Everest Report). Our serviceable
addressable market (“SAM”) in DAAI services was estimated to be US$76 billion (₹6 trillion) in Fiscal 2024,
US$85 billion (₹7 trillion) in Fiscal 2025, and is likely to grow to US$171 billion (₹14 trillion) by FY2030 at an
estimated CAGR of 15.1% (source: Everest Report). To reduce their reliance on multiple partners across the
DAAI value chain, enterprises, especially large buyers, prefer to engage with a single partner for AI solutions
(source: Everest Report). Service providers with end-to-end DAAI capabilities are thus well positioned to capture
this market. We focus on AI and advanced analytics and provide DAAI consulting and technology services,
software solutions, and AI products, with advanced capabilities in computer vision, natural language processing
and Gen AI to enterprises, in essence, making us an end-to-end player in the DAAI market. (source: Everest
Report).
We intend to continue capturing market opportunities in our industry, with a strategic focus on serving “MWCs”
and we aim to leverage favorable industry trends to strengthen our position with such clients. To address our
clients’ needs, we are committed to technological innovation. We have made investments in AI research and
development, exploring the latest AI methodologies and technologies. This includes areas like advancements in
quantum computing, computational neuroscience and generative AI (“Gen AI”) (such as knowledge systems,
reasoning models and agentic platforms and products i.e., Cogentiq platform and Cogentiq products). We have
also made investments in capabilities and skilling through Fractal Analytics Academy and Analytics Vidhya as
well as acquisitions that helps us keep up with the latest AI trends, for example, the acquisition of Senseforth.ai
and their expertise in conversational AI and natural language processing which leads to additional Gen AI
engagements. We also focus on pioneering new algorithms and frameworks that can be applied to real world
problems, thereby enabling us to expedite results for our clients while demonstrating our AI expertise.

respectively.
For more details on our research and development initiatives, see “Our Business – Our Strengths – Track record
of inventing and investing to benefit clients” on page 276 and “Our Business – Research and Development” on
page 299.
Our ability to recruit, train and retain employees
Recruitment, training and retention of our employees are fundamental to our success. We take several initiatives
to drive engagement and retention such as active conversations with all Fractalites, one-on-one connects, mobility
opportunities within the organization, stock options granted under employee stock options plans (“ESOPs”),
annual merit increases, retention increments and new hire integration programs. We intend to continue building a
great place to work by focusing on fostering a culture of trust, transparency and freedom; hiring game-changing
talent through robust and scalable channels; investing in developing experts and leaders of tomorrow; and
empowering Fractalites (our employees) to own their careers. We will also continue our hiring efforts to recruit
specialists across our career tracks and train them through the Fractal Analytics Academy and Analytics Vidhya.
The level of competition among employers across the globe for skilled personnel in our industry is high and we
believe that our leading industry position, brand recognition and positive reputation are key advantages in
attracting qualified and talented candidates. For more details, see “Our Business – Our Human Capital” on page
304 and “– Principal Components of Restated Consolidated Financial Information – Expenses – Employee
Benefits Expense and Employee Stock Option Expense” on page 470.
Although our employee benefits expense has been increasing year-on-year, to ₹20,048 million in Fiscal 2025 from
₹17,370 million in Fiscal 2024 and ₹16,085 million in Fiscal 2023, our employee benefits expense as a percentage
of our revenue from operations has decreased to 72.5% in Fiscal 2025, from 79.1% in Fiscal 2024 and 81.0% in
Fiscal 2023. Our employee stock option expense has decreased year-on-year, to ₹798 million in Fiscal 2025 from
₹963 million in Fiscal 2024 and ₹1,587 million in Fiscal 2023, comprising 2.9%, 4.4% and 8.0% as a percentage
of revenue from operations in the respective Fiscals. As a percentage of revenue from operations, our employee
benefits expense and employee stock option expense combined has decreased to 75.4% in Fiscal 2025, from 83.5%
in Fiscal 2024 and 89.0% in Fiscal 2023. We have historically managed to mitigate the impact of wage inflation
467on our margins through our efficient delivery systems and processes by (i) managing the mix of expertise and
location of talent working on a client engagement (for example, through organizing our employees under
specialized divisions with deepened domain and industry expertise which increased our efficiency in building AI
solutions), (ii) cost of living adjusted price increases in our contracts with clients, (iii) driving better utilization,
(iv) focused interventions on lowering cost of talent through diversified sourcing strategies and upskilling
programs and (v) better use of technology in our internal processes. As we continue to grow, we are likely to incur
costs in relation to increasing our market penetration, sales and marketing initiatives and recruiting and retaining
sales and other employees in India and overseas. Our ability to continue to manage our employee benefits expense
and employee stock option expense in the future will be important to our financial results.
Foreign exchange rate fluctuations
Our reporting and functional currency is the Indian rupee. However, we conduct business across multiple countries
in currencies, such as the US dollar, euro, pound sterling (“GBP”) and Australian dollar, and exchange rate
fluctuations, especially between the Indian Rupee and the US dollar, impact our results of operations. See also “–
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk – Market Risk –
Currency Risk” on page 483.
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates because a majority of our revenue from operations is
derived from currencies other than Indian rupees, whereas relatively more of our expenses are denominated in
Indian rupees. Currency fluctuations, especially the depreciation of the Indian rupee relative to the US dollar, the
euro and GBP, could positively impact our results of operations, while an appreciation of the Indian rupee relative
to the US dollar, euro and/or GBP could negatively impact our results of operations. We have adopted a risk
management policy to enable us to mitigate, among others, cash flow risk and revaluation risk. In addition, we
hedge exposures to changes in foreign currency through currency forwards and options with a bank counterparty.
We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations on assets denominated in other foreign currencies. We
utilize forward foreign exchange derivative contracts to hedge the risk of foreign exchange volatility on part of
our future revenues. For further information regarding the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our
results of operations and our use of foreign exchange derivative contracts, see “Risk Factors — Exchange rate
fluctuations may adversely affect our results of operations as a significant portion of our revenues are
denominated in foreign currencies and may adversely affect the value of our Equity Shares” on page 46.
Macroeconomic conditions
Macroeconomic conditions and recessionary pressures may affect clients’ demand for our services. For example,
BFSI enterprises globally are facing cost pressures and diminishing profitability, driving the importance of
analytics, AI and Gen AI capabilities to streamline operations, enhance decision-making processes and drive
business growth (source: Everest Report). Persistent inflationary pressures, tightening monetary policies and
geopolitical tensions can impact the spending appetites of enterprises in digital services. In response to challenging
macroeconomic conditions, enterprises may increasingly focus on cutting costs and shortening time-to-
deployment. In general, economic factors, such as interest rates, employment trends, inflation and industry trends
affecting our clients’ industries can affect our business. For example, tighter monetary policies, including interest
rate hikes adopted by the U.S. Federal Reserve or inflation may increase our clients’ costs of borrowing and
business expenses, thereby reducing their disposable capital and propensity to pay for large-scale technology
solutions, thereby affecting the demand for our services.
Principal Components of Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss
Total income
Our total income comprises (i) revenue from operations and (ii) other income.
Revenue from operations
We earn revenue from operations primarily from the sale of our AI solutions. Our full suite of AI solutions is
categorized under Fractal.ai (AI services and AI products) and Fractal Alpha (AI businesses) segments. See “Our
Business – Our AI Solutions” for further details.
We have global operations and operate across multiple industries. We typically enter into master service
agreements (“MSAs”) that govern the overall relationship and terms of arrangement with the client. For each
engagement under an MSA, we enter into a separate statement of work (“SOW”) with the client. These SOWs
468define the scope, timing, pricing terms and performance criteria for each individual engagement under the
respective MSA. Depending on client preference and internal specifications, our MSAs may include one or more
of our pricing models as described above. The fees we charge our clients depend on the type of contracts, the
nature and duration of engagement, the AI solution provided (and the underlying intellectual property involved)
and locations and skillset of personnel involved.
We have two reportable segments: (i) Fractal.ai and (ii) Fractal Alpha. The table below shows revenue from
operations from our segments for the years indicated:

Total Income
Our total income increased by 25.6% to ₹28,162 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹22,419 million in Fiscal 2024,
primarily due to an increase in our revenue from operations by 25.9% to ₹27,654 million in Fiscal 2025 from
₹21,963 million in Fiscal 2024.
Revenue from operations
• Revenue from operations from our Fractal.ai segment increased by 25.1% to ₹27,037 million in Fiscal
2025 from ₹21,615 million in Fiscal 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to growth in revenue
from existing clients (demonstrated by our Net Revenue Retention of 121.3% in Fiscal 2025), increase
in the number of clients and our ability to charge a higher price for AI services and AI products.
• Revenue from operations for our Fractal Alpha business segment increased by 76.4% to ₹644 million for
Fiscal 2025 from ₹365 million for Fiscal 2024. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the sale
of AI businesses in Fiscal 2025 compared to Fiscal 2024, attributable primarily to an increase in the
number of clients and an increase in revenue from operations from existing clients and our ability to
charge a higher price.
• All industries and geographies experienced growth. Within our Fractal.ai segment, we experienced
particularly strong growth in TMT and BFSI, with an increase in revenue from operations of 37.8% (to
₹8,087 million from ₹5,867 million) and 28.2% (to ₹2,980 million from ₹2,325 million) respectively to
Fiscal 2025 from Fiscal 2024. Our revenue from operations in our Fractal.ai segment from Americas
increased by 30.4% to ₹17,988 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹13,791 million for Fiscal 2024.
Other income
Our other income increased by 11.4% to ₹508 million for Fiscal 2025 from ₹456 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily
due to an increase in gain on redemption/sale of financial instruments of ₹291 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to
₹163 million in Fiscal 2024 and a foreign exchange gain (net) of ₹126 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to ₹65
million in Fiscal 2024.
472Expenses
Employee benefits expense
Our employee benefits expense increased by 15.4% to ₹20,048 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹17,370 million in
Fiscal 2024, primarily due to salary increments offered to our employees and increase in our employee headcount
to 5,254 as of March 31, 2025 from 4,639 as of March 31, 2024.
Employee stock option expense
Our employee stock option expense decreased by 17.1% to ₹798 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹963 million in
Fiscal 2024, primarily due to graded vesting of a majority of the employee stock options, which were granted
towards the end of Fiscal 2022.
Finance costs
Our finance costs increased by 29.7% to ₹577 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹445 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily
due to an increase in interest on lease liabilities to ₹121 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹41 million in Fiscal 2024
due to additional office premises taken on lease and renewal of lease terms for existing office premises. We also
incurred other borrowing cost of ₹146 million in Fiscal 2025 which primarily related to an arrangement fee for a
loan refinancing. This was partially offset by a decrease in interest on borrowings to ₹255 million in Fiscal 2025
from ₹313 million in Fiscal 2024, as a result of such loan refinancing.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Our depreciation and amortization expense increased by 23.0% to ₹1,023 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹832 million
in Fiscal 2024, primarily due to an increase in depreciation on right-of use assets to ₹340 million in Fiscal 2025
from ₹249 million in Fiscal 2024 due to additional office premises taken on lease and an increase in amortization
of intangible assets to ₹511 million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹321 million in Fiscal 2024 relating to software acquired
in 2024, which was accounted for the full year in Fiscal 2025, as compared to a shorter period in Fiscal 2024.
Other expenses
Our other expenses increased by 14.3% to ₹3,309 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to ₹2,896 million in Fiscal
2024, primarily due to:
• Travelling and conveyance expense: increased by 35.5% to ₹469 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to
₹346 million in Fiscal 2024, largely in line with our increase in revenue from operations.
• Software license and maintenance expenses: increased by 25.1% to ₹544 million in Fiscal 2025 from
₹435 million in Fiscal 2024, due to increase in software licensing fees in line with our increased employee
count.
• Cloud and Communication expense: increased by 31.0% to ₹423 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to
₹323 million in Fiscal 2024, as we incurred additional cloud and communication expense in line with
our increase in revenue from operations, primarily attributable to increased Gen AI adoption, delivery-
based needs for clients, research and development usage.
• Legal and professional fees: increased by 13.0% to ₹523 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to ₹463 million
in Fiscal 2024, primarily due to increase in fees paid to consultants and/or professionals for various
compliance requirements, higher costs for increased business and technical support as well as various
corporate activities.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in our marketing expenses, which decreased by 30.6% to ₹134
million in Fiscal 2025 from ₹193 million in Fiscal 2024, primarily due to a change in marketing strategy and
change in marketing partners during Fiscal 2025.
Tax expense
Our total tax expense in Fiscal 2025 was ₹174 million compared to ₹242 million in Fiscal 2024. The primary
reason for this was deferred tax credit of ₹383 million in Fiscal 2025 as the Finance Act 2024 passed in Fiscal
2025 included amendments in the manner of calculation of long-term capital gain and reduced the tax rate on long
473term capital gain from 20% to 12.5% (excluding applicable surcharge and education cess thereon). Consequent to
these amendments, our Company reversed a deferred tax liability of ₹370 million in Fiscal 2025, partially offset
by additional deferred tax liability of ₹42 million created on remeasurement gain on retained interest in associate
company recorded under exceptional items.
Profit/ (Loss) for the year
As a result of the foregoing factors, Profit for the year was ₹2,206 million in Fiscal 2025 compared to a loss of
₹547 million in Fiscal 2024.
Fiscal 2024 compared to Fiscal 2023
Total Income
Our total income increased by 9.7% to ₹22,419 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹20,437 million in Fiscal 2023,
primarily due to an increase in our revenue from operations by 10.6% to ₹21,963 million in Fiscal 2024 from
₹19,854 million in Fiscal 2023. The increase in our total income was partially offset by a decrease in other income
by 21.8% to ₹456 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹583 million in Fiscal 2023 primarily due to a decrease in foreign
exchange gain (net) to ₹65 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹306 million in Fiscal 2023.
Revenue from operations
• Revenue from operations from our Fractal.ai segment increased by 9.8% to ₹21,615 million in Fiscal
2024 from ₹19,691 million in Fiscal 2023. The increase is primarily attributable to growth in revenue
from existing clients (demonstrated by our Net Revenue Retention of 110.2% in Fiscal 2024), increase
in the number of clients and our ability to charge a higher price for AI solutions.
• Revenue from operations for our Fractal Alpha business segment increased by 92.1% to ₹365 million in
Fiscal 2024 from ₹190 million in Fiscal 2023. This increase is primarily due to an increase in the sale of
AI businesses in Fiscal 2024 compared to Fiscal 2023, attributable primarily to an increase in the number
of clients and an increase in revenue from operations from existing clients and our ability to charge a
higher price.
• Most industries and all geographies experienced growth. Within our Fractal.ai segment, we experienced
particularly strong growth in HLS and CPGR, with an increase in revenue from operations of 37.7% (to
₹3,013 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹2,188 million in Fiscal 2023) and 12.3% (to ₹9,038 million in Fiscal
2024 from ₹8,047 million in Fiscal 2023) respectively, partially offset by a decrease in revenue from
BFSI by 18.2% to ₹2,325 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹2,842 million in Fiscal 2023. Our revenue from
operations within Fractal.ai from Europe increased by 28.7% to ₹4,291 million in Fiscal 2024 from
₹3,333 million in Fiscal 2023.
Other income
Other income decreased by 21.8% to ₹456 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹583 million in Fiscal 2023 primarily due
to decrease in foreign exchange gain (net) of ₹65 million in Fiscal 2024 compared to ₹306 million in Fiscal 2023,
which was partially offset by (i) an increase in fair valuation gain of financial instrument of ₹122 million in Fiscal
2024 compared to ₹69 million in Fiscal 2023 and (ii) an increase in gain on redemption/sale of financial
instruments of ₹163 million in Fiscal 2024 compared to ₹96 million in Fiscal 2023.
Expenses
Employee benefits expense
Our employee benefits expense increased by 8.0% to ₹17,370 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹16,085 million in
Fiscal 2023, primarily due to salary increments offered to our employees and increase in our employee headcount
to 4,639 as of March 31, 2024 from 4,221 as of March 31, 2023.
Employee stock option expense
Our employee stock option expense decreased by 39.3% to ₹963 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹1,587 million in
Fiscal 2023, primarily due to the effect of graded vesting of employee stock options, which were granted towards
the end of Fiscal 2022.
474Finance costs
Our finance costs marginally decreased by 1.8% to ₹445 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹453 million in Fiscal 2023.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Our depreciation and amortization expense increased by 6.5% to ₹832 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹781 million
in Fiscal 2023, primarily due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets such as software licenses purchased
during the year.
Other expenses
Our other expenses decreased by 13.4% to ₹2,896 million in Fiscal 2024 compared to ₹3,346 million in Fiscal
2023, primarily due to:
• Legal and professional fees: our legal and professional fees decreased by 17.3% to ₹463 million in Fiscal
2024 compared to ₹560 million in Fiscal 2023, as we incurred higher legal and professional services in
Fiscal 2023 in connection with certain acquisitions related costs.
• Recruitment expenses: our recruitment expenses decreased by 80.5% to ₹33 million in Fiscal 2024 from
₹169 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily due to a significant decline in the use of external recruitment
agencies, driven by the insourcing of recruitment efforts during Fiscal 2024.
• Rent, rates and taxes: our rent, rates and taxes decreased by 44.4% to ₹94 million in Fiscal 2024
compared to ₹169 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily due to a provision booked for compounding of tax
offence, without acceptance or admission of guilt under the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 in
Fiscal 2023 relating to a delay in deposit of tax deducted at source during an earlier Fiscal.
• Fair value loss on derivative and forward contracts: We incurred fair value loss (net) on derivative
contracts carried at fair value through profit or loss of ₹152 million in Fiscal 2023. In Fiscal 2024, the
same was recorded under other income on account of fair value gain on derivatives and forward contracts.
This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our cloud and communication expenses by 20.1% to ₹323
million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹269 million in Fiscal 2023.
Exceptional items
We incurred an exceptional loss of ₹(55) million in Fiscal 2024 as a result of remeasurement of retained interest
in associate; and exceptional gain of ₹5,239 million in Fiscal 2023, as a result of (i) gain on loss of control of
subsidiary of ₹5,410 million, as we ceased to consolidate Qure.ai as part of our consolidated financial statements
after deemed loss of control, and as a result recognized the investment in Qure.ai at fair value with effect from
April 1, 2022 in our restated consolidated statement of profit and loss in Fiscal 2023; and (ii) impairment in value
of intangible assets and intangible assets under development of ₹(171) million.
Tax expense
Our tax expense decreased by 79.7% to ₹242 million in Fiscal 2024 from ₹1,190 million in Fiscal 2023, primarily
due to recognition of deferred tax liability of ₹1,016 million on fair value of associate company in Fiscal 2023.
Profit/ (Loss) for the year
As a result of the foregoing factors, loss for the year was ₹547 million in Fiscal 2024 compared to profit for the
year of ₹1,944 million in Fiscal 2023.
Selected Financial and Operational Measures
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain non-GAAP financial measures and operational measures
as supplemental measures to review and assess our operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been to finance our working capital needs for our operations
and acquisitions. We have met these requirements primarily through cash flows from operations, equity infusions
from shareholders and borrowings. As of March 31, 2025, we had ₹2,649 million in cash and cash equivalents,
₹243 million in bank balances and deposits other than cash and cash equivalents and ₹5,614 million in investment
in liquid mutual funds units (unquoted).
We believe that our current cash and bank balances, investment in liquid mutual fund units (unquoted) and cash
flows provided by operating activities and the estimated net proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to meet
our present working capital needs and in the next 12 months following the date of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. We may, however, need additional cash resources in the future if we experience changes in business
condition or other developments, or if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investments, acquisitions,
capital expenditures or similar actions. If we determine that our cash requirements exceed the amount of cash and
bank balances we have on hand at the time or that at any given time, we may seek to issue equity or debt securities,
or obtain credit facilities.

over 100% of the equity shares held by the Company in Fractal Analytics Inc. This borrowing is guaranteed by
the Company. The loan was taken to refinance existing borrowings which were taken for acquisitions and other
investments. For further information, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 490.

Contingent Liabilities
As of March 31, 2025, we had contingent liabilities amounting to ₹139 million which related to claims against us
that have not been acknowledged as debt for income tax matters and goods and service tax matters under appeal.
We believe that these claims under contingent liabilities are not tenable and hence no provision has been made in
this regard.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures include expenditures on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Property,
plant and equipment include computers and accessories, leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and office
equipment. Intangible assets primarily include computer software and internally generated intangible assets. For
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our cash outflows towards purchase of property, plant and equipment and intangible
assets amounted to ₹828 million, ₹245 million and ₹339 million respectively.
We expect to meet our capital expenditures requirements for the next 12 months primarily from cash flows from
operating activities as well as the proceeds from this Offer.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, derivative instruments or other relationships with other
entities that would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
Auditor Observations
Our Statutory Auditor has noted certain audit observations under “Report on Other Legal Regulatory
Requirements” in their auditor report. For details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information - Annexure
VII – Part B – II” on page 456.
Further, our auditor has included certain observations in their reporting under the Companies (Auditor’s Report)
Order, 2020 (CARO 2020). For details, see “Restated Consolidated Financial Information - Annexure VII – Part
B – III” on page 456.

Related Party Transactions
482We enter into various transactions with related parties. For further information see “Restated Consolidated
Financial Information – Note 27- Related party disclosures” on page 424.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, Credit Risk and Liquidity Risk
Our risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by us, to set appropriate risk
limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are
reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and our activities. We aim to maintain a disciplined
and constructive control environment in which all our employees understand their respective roles and obligations.
Our Board oversees the management’s implementation of our policies and reviews the adequacy of the risk
management framework.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk arising from changes in market price, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates that
may affect our income or the value of our holdings of financial instruments. Market risk is attributable to all
market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency receivables and payables and long-term
debt. We are exposed to market risk that primarily relates to foreign exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and the
market value of the investments. Thus, the exposure to market risk is a function of investing and borrowing
activities and revenue generating and operating activities in foreign currency.
Currency risk
We are exposed to currency risk resulting from foreign currency transactions including recognized assets and
liabilities denominated in currencies that is not our functional currency.
Sensitivity analysis
Any change with respect to strengthening (weakening) of the Indian Rupee against various currencies as of March
31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, would have affected the measurement of financial instruments denominated in
respective currencies and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes
that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignore any impact of forecast sales and
purchases.

Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily
to our long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate risks on outstanding
borrowings resulting from changing SOFR/LIBOR rates. The interest reset period, or the amortization schedule
is not fixed under this credit facility and hence the same has not been hedged.
Sensitivity analysis
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion
of loans and borrowings affected, after the impact of hedge accounting. With all other variables held constant, our
profit before tax is affected through the impact of floating rate borrowings, as follows:

Change in SOFR/LIBOR
- Increase by 1% (20) (20) (26)
- Decrease by 1% 20 20 26
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a client or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations and arises principally from our receivables from clients. Financial instruments that are
subject to concentration of credit risk principally consist of trade receivables, investments, cash and cash
equivalents and other balances with banks. None of our financial instruments result in material concentration of
credit risk.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we encounter when we face difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with our
financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Our approach to managing
liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when they are
due. We have access to uncommitted, undrawn revolving credit facility as at March 31, 2025 amounting to ₹2,649
million (US$31 million), ₹2,333 million (US$28 million) as at March 31, 2024 and ₹1,479 million (US$18
million) as at March 31, 2023 which could be used for the working capital needs as and when required.
Critical Accounting Policies, Use of Judgments and Estimates
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized when the Group satisfies performance obligations under the terms of its contracts and
control of the services is transferred to its clients, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Group expects
to receive from its clients in exchange for those services. This process involves identifying the client contract,
determining the performance obligations in the contract, determining the transaction price, allocating the
transaction price to the distinct performance obligations in the contract and recognizing revenue when the
performance obligations have been satisfied. A performance obligation is considered distinct from other
obligations in a contract when it:
(a) provides a benefit to the client either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available
to the client and;
(b) is separately identified in the contract. The Group considers a performance obligation satisfied once it
has transferred control of services to the client, meaning the client has the ability to use and obtain the
benefit from the services rendered.
Revenue from time and material contracts is recognized on output basis measured by efforts expended.
Revenue related to fixed price retainership contracts is recognized based on time elapsed and is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the period of performance.
In respect of other fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized using percentage-of-completion method (“POC
method”) with contract costs incurred determining the degree of completion of the performance obligation.
Subscription income consist of fees from clients accessing our software solutions. Revenues are generally
recognized over the period when control of these services is transferred to clients, in an amount that reflects the
consideration expected to be entitled to in exchange for those services. Our subscription arrangements are
considered service contracts and the client does not have the right to take possession of the software.
Revenue is measured based on the transaction price, which is the consideration, adjusted for volume discounts,
price concessions and incentives, if any, as specified in the contract with the client. Revenue also excludes taxes
collected from clients.
484Contract assets are recognized when there is excess of revenue earned over billings on contracts. Contract assets
are classified as unbilled receivables (only act of invoicing is pending) when there is unconditional right to receive
cash and only passage of time is required, as per contractual terms.
Unearned and deferred revenue (“contract liability”) is recognized when there are billings in excess of revenues.
The billing schedules agreed with clients include periodic performance-based payments and / or milestone-based
progress payments. Invoices are payable within contractually agreed credit period.
Contracts are subject to modification to account for changes in contract specification and requirements. The Group
reviews modification to contract in conjunction with the original contract, basis which the transaction price could
be allocated to a new performance obligation, or transaction price of an existing obligation could undergo a
change.
In the event transaction price is revised for existing obligation, a cumulative adjustment is accounted for.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recognized when it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable to the
assets will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
The intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Cost
comprises of the acquisition price and any cost directly attributable and allocable on a reasonable basis for making
the asset ready for its intended use.
Intangible assets under development includes intellectual property under development as at the balance sheet date.
Product development costs are incurred on developing/upgrading the software products to launch new service
modules and functionality to provide an enhanced suite of services. These development costs are capitalized and
recognized as an intangible asset when the following can be demonstrated:
a) The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;
b) Its ability and intention to use or sell the asset;
c) The availability of adequate resources to complete the development and to use or sell the asset; and
d) The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible assets and probability of
how the same will generate future economic benefits.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific
assets to which it relates and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. All other expenditure is recognized in
the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss as incurred.
Amortization
Amortization is recognized in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Description of assets Useful life of assets (years)
Computer Software 3
Client Relationships 3 - 10
Patent 3
Brand 5
Developed Content 10
Internally generated intellectual property 3-5
The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed at the end of each
financial year. Changes in the expected useful life are considered to modify the amortization period and are treated
as changes in accounting estimates.
485Intangible assets are amortized over their expected useful life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an
indication that the intangible asset may be impaired.
An intangible asset is de-recognized on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing net disposal proceeds with carrying amount.
These are included in the Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Consideration is given at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment of
the carrying amount of the Groups’ each class of non-financial. If any indication exists, an asset’s recoverable
amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the greater of the net selling price and value in use. In assessing
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value based on an appropriate discount
factor. Intangible assets under development are tested for impairment annually.
Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred, together with the amount of noncontrolling interest
in the acquiree, over the fair value of the Group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is measured
at cost less accumulated impairment losses. A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested
for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired.
The goodwill acquired in a business combination is, for the purpose of impairment testing, allocated to cash-
generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Any impairment loss for
goodwill is recognized directly in Restated Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss. They are first used to
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to CGU and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the
other assets in the CGU on a pro rate basis. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in
subsequent periods. In respect of other assets for which impairment loss has been recognized in prior periods, the
Group reviews at each reporting date whether there is any indication that the loss has decreased or no longer exists.
An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable
amount. Such a reversal is made only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been
recognized. On disposal of a cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated, the goodwill associated with the
disposed cash-generating unit is included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit when determining
the gain or loss on disposal.
Significant accounting estimates, judgements and assumptions
In the process of applying our accounting policies, we have made the following judgments which have significant
effect on the amounts recognized in the restated consolidated financial information:
a. Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets: we review the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment and intangibles at the end of each reporting period. This reassessment may
result in change in depreciation and amortization expense in future periods.
b. Defined benefit plan: the cost of the defined benefit gratuity obligation is determined using actuarial
valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual
developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate; future salary increases
and attrition rates. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature, a defined
benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at
each reporting date.
c. Allowances for uncollected accounts receivable and advances: Trade receivables do not carry interest
and are stated at their normal value as reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable
amounts. Individual trade receivables are written off when management deems them not collectable.
Impairment is made on the expected credit loss model, which is the present value of the cash shortfall
over the expected life of the financial assets. The impairment provisions for financial assets are based on
assumption about the risk of default and expected loss rates. Judgment in making these assumptions and
selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation are based on past history, existing market condition as
well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period.
d. Provisions and contingencies: We estimate the provisions that have present obligations as a result of past
events and it is probable that outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations. These
486provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the current best
estimates. We use significant judgments to assess contingent liabilities. Contingent liabilities are
disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly
within the control of the Group or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the
amount cannot be made. Contingent assets are neither recognized nor disclosed in the restated
consolidated financial information.
e. Share-based payments: we measure the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees using Black-
Scholes and binomial model to determine the fair value of the liability incurred on the grant date.
Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determination of the most
appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate
also requires determination of the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected
life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield and making assumptions about them. The
assumptions and models used for estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions are disclosed
in Note 31 of our Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
f. Provision for income tax and deferred assets: we use judgements based on the relevant rulings in the
areas of allocation of revenue, costs, allowances and disallowances which is exercised while determining
the provision for income tax. A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax losses can be
utilized. Accordingly, we exercise our judgement to reassess the carrying amount of deferred tax assets
at the end of each reporting period.
g. Revenue recognition: We exercise judgment in determining whether the performance obligation is
satisfied at a point in time or over a period of time. We consider indicators such as how client consumes
benefits as services are rendered or who controls the asset as it is being created or existence of enforceable
right to payment for performance to date and alternate use of such product or service, transfer of
significant risks and rewards to the client, acceptance of delivery by the client, etc.
Revenue for fixed-price contracts is recognized using percentage-of-completion method. We estimate
the future cost-to-completion of the contracts which is used to determine the degree of the completion of
the performance obligation.
h. Leases: We evaluate if an arrangement qualifies to be a lease as per the requirements of Ind AS 116.
Identification of a lease requires significant judgment. The Group uses significant judgement in assessing
the lease term (including anticipated renewals) and the applicable discount rate. We determine the lease
term as the non-cancellable period of a lease, together with both periods covered by an option to extend
the lease if we are reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to
terminate the lease if we are reasonably certain not to exercise that option. In assessing whether we are
reasonably certain to exercise an option to extend a lease, or not to exercise an option to terminate a lease,
we consider all relevant facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive for us to exercise the
option to extend the lease, or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease. We revise the lease term
if there is a change in the non-cancellable period of a lease. The discount rate is generally based on the
incremental borrowing rate specific to the lease being evaluated.
Change in Accounting Policies
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) notifies new standards or amendments to the existing standards under
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules as issued from time to time. For Fiscal 2025, MCA has notified
Ind AS 117 – Insurance Contracts and amendments to Ind AS 116 – Leases, relating to sale and leaseback
transactions, applicable to us with effect from April 1, 2024. We have reviewed the new pronouncements and
based on our evaluation have determined that it does not have any significant impact in our restated financial
statements. Except as described in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there have been no changes in our accounting
policies in the last three Fiscals.

SEBI through its circular (SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2018/138) dated November 1, 2018, as amended from time
to time, including pursuant to circular (SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2019/50) dated April 3, 2019 (“SEBI UPI
Circular”) introduced an alternate payment mechanism using Unified Payments Interface (“UPI”) and
consequent reduction in timelines for listing in a phased manner. UPI has been introduced in a phased manner
as a payment mechanism with the ASBA for applications by Retail Individual Investors through intermediaries
from January 1, 2019. The UPI Mechanism for Retail Individual Investors applying through Designated
Intermediaries, in phase I, was effective along with the prior process and timeline of T+6 days (“UPI Phase I”),
until June 30, 2019. Subsequently, for applications by Retail Individual Investors through Designated
Intermediaries, the process of physical movement of forms from Designated Intermediaries to Self-Certified
Syndicate Banks (“SCSBs”) for blocking of funds has been discontinued and Retail Individual Investors (“RIIs”)
submitting their ASBA Forms through Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) can only use UPI
Mechanism with timeline of T+6 days until further notice pursuant to SEBI circular
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 (“UPI Phase II”). The final reduced timeline of T+3
days for the UPI Mechanism for applications by UPI Bidders (“UPI Phase III”) and modalities of the
implementation of UPI Phase III was notified by SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140
dated August 9, 2023 and made effective on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after September 1, 2023
and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023 (“T+3 Notification”). Accordingly,
the Offer will be undertaken pursuant to the processes and procedures under UPI Phase III on mandatory basis,
subject to any circulars, clarification or notification issued by the SEBI pursuant to the T+3 Notification.
The SEBI ICDR Master Circular has consolidated and rescinded the aforementioned circulars to the extent they
relate to the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Further, the SEBI ICDR Master Circular has introduced certain additional
measures for streamlining the process of initial public offers and redressing investor grievances. The provisions
of these circulars are deemed to form part of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for
applications that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circulars include,
appointment of a nodal officer by the SCSB and submission of their details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs to
send SMS alerts for the blocking and unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit
details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted applications, and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful
Bidders to be unblocked no later than one day from the date on which the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure
to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being penalized under the relevant securities
law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of investors’ complaints, the relevant SCSB as well as the
post–Offer BRLM will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
Our Company has appointed one of the SCSBs as a sponsor bank to act as a conduit between the Stock Exchanges
and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and / or payment instructions of the UPI Bidders. All SCSBs
offering facility of making application in public issues shall also provide facility to make application using UPI.

551RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of
India, FEMA, the Consolidated FDI Policy and the circulars and notifications issued thereunder. While the
Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made
in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be
made. Under the Industrial Policy, 1991 unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all
sectors of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required
to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The responsibility of granting approval for
foreign investment under the FDI Policy and FEMA has been entrusted to the RBI and concerned ministries /
departments.
The Government of India has from time to time made policy pronouncements on FDI through press notes and
press releases. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Ministry of Commerce and Industry
(formerly known as Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion), Government of India (“DPIIT”) issued the
Consolidated FDI Policy, which consolidates and supersedes all previous press notes, press releases and
clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT that were in force and effect prior to October 15, 2020 (“Consolidated
FDI Policy”). The Consolidated FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular. FDI in
companies engaged in sectors/ activities which are not listed in the Consolidated FDI Policy is permitted up to
100% of the paid-up share capital of such company under the automatic route. The Consolidated FDI Policy will
be valid and remain in force until superseded in totality or in part thereof. Under the current Consolidated FDI
Policy, 100% foreign direct investment is permitted in sector, in which our Company operates.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of RBI,
provided that: (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the Consolidated FDI
Policy and such transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations, (ii) the non-resident
shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the Consolidated FDI Policy, and (iii) the pricing is in accordance
with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
Further, in accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the
Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from
April 22, 2020, any investment, subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which
shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen
of any such country (“Restricted Investors”), will require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the
Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEMA Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or
future foreign direct investment in an entity in India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership
falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also
require approval of the Government. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-debt Instruments)
(Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020, issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank or fund, of which India is a
member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the beneficial
owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about
its ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and
such approval has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing
about such approval along with a copy thereof within the Offer Period.
As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in this Offer.
For further details, see “Offer Procedure– Bids by Eligible NRIs” and “Offer Procedure – Bids by FPIs” on page
537.
The Equity Shares offered in the Offer have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities
Act or any other applicable law of the United States and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold
within the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the
Equity Shares are being offered and sold (i) within the United States only to U.S. QIBs in transactions
exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act, and (ii) outside the
United States in “offshore transactions” as defined in and in compliance with Regulation S under the U.S.
Securities Act and the applicable laws of the jurisdiction where those offers and sales occur. For the
avoidance of doubt, the term “U.S. QIBs” does not refer to a category of institutional investors defined
under applicable Indian regulations and referred to in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus as “QIBs”.
552The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other
jurisdiction outside India and may not be offered or sold, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such
jurisdiction, except in compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
The above information is given for the benefit of the Bidders. Our Company, the Selling Shareholders and
the Book Running Lead Managers are not liable for any amendments or modification or changes in
applicable laws or regulations, which may occur after the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Bidders are advised to make their independent investigations and ensure that the number of Equity Shares
Bid for do not exceed the applicable limits under laws or regulations.

recognize such executor or administrator unless such executor or administrator shall have first obtained

constituted court in India. Provided that in any case, where the Board in their absolute discretion think
fit, the Board may dispense with the production of probate or letters of administration or succession
certificates upon such terms as to indemnity, affidavit or otherwise as the Board may deem fit and register
the name of any person who claims to be absolutely entitled to the shares standing in the name of a
deceased member as a member. Nothing in this Article shall release the estate of a deceased joint holder
from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by him with other persons.

(b) to make such transfer of the share as the deceased, undischarged or insolvent member could
have made.

suspend registration as it would have had, if the deceased or insolvent member had transferred the share
before his death or insolvency.

may refuse to register any such transmission until the same be so verified or until or unless an indemnity
be given to the Company with regard to such registration which the Board at their discretion shall
consider sufficient provided nevertheless that there shall not be any obligation on the Company or the
Board to accept any indemnity.
82. The Board shall have the same right to refuse to register a person entitled by transmission to any shares
or his nominee as it would have had as if such person or nominee were a transferee named in an ordinary
transfer for registration. The Company shall not be bound to register a transmission unless the intimation
of such transmission has been delivered to the Company under a proper transmission form duly executed
by the person entitled by transmission and specifying the name, address and occupation, if any, of such
person along with the relative share certificates or the letters of allotment, as the case may be. All the
limitations, restrictions and provisions of these Articles relating to the right to transfer and registration
of transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such intimation of transmission or any notice of transfer

presented for registration. The Company shall not charge any fee for registration of transfer or
transmission, probate, succession certificate and letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage,
power of attorney or similar other document in respect of share or debentures of the Company.

member or by any lawful means other than by a transfer in accordance with these Articles, shall be
entitled to the same dividends, or interest and other benefits to which he would be entitled if he were the
registered holder of the share except that he shall not, before being registered as a member in respect of
the share be entitled in respect of such share to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation
to meetings of the Company. Provided that the Board may at any time give notice requiring any such
person to elect either to be registered himself or transfer the share and if the notice is not complied with
within ninety days, the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other moneys
payable in respect of the share, until the compliance of the requirements of the notice to the satisfaction
of the Board.
84. Before registering any transfer tendered for registration, the Board may, in cases where it thinks fit, give
564notice by letter posted in the ordinary course to the registered holder that such transfer deed has been
lodged and that unless objection is taken the transfer will be registered and if such registered holder fails
to lodge an objection in writing at the Office of the Company within ten days from the posting of such
notice to him, he shall be deemed to have accepted the validity of the said transfer.
85. Neither the Company nor any of its Directors shall incur any liability or responsibility whatever in
consequence of their registering, giving effect to, or acting upon any transfer of shares made or purported
to be made by any apparent legal owner thereof (as shown or appearing in register of members), to the
prejudice of the person having or claiming any equitable or other right, title or interest to or in the same
shares although the same may by reason of any fraud or other cause not known to the Company or any
of its Directors, be legally inoperative or insufficient to pass the property in the shares proposed or
professed to be transferred and although the transfer may as between the transferor and the transferee, be
liable to be set aside and notwithstanding that the Company may have had notice:- (i) that the instrument
of the transfer was signed or executed and delivered by the transferor in blank as to the name of the
transferee or the particulars of the shares transferred or otherwise in a defective manner; or (ii) of any
equitable or other right, title or interest or notice prohibiting registration of such transfer and may have
entered such notice or referred thereto in any book of the Company; and the Company and/or any of its
Directors shall not be bound or required to regard or attend or give effect to any notice which may be
given to them of any equitable or other right, title or interest, or be under any liability whatsoever for
refusing or neglecting to do so, though it may have been entered or referred to in some books of the
Company; if the Board shall so think fit. In every such transfer, the person registered as transferee, his
executors, administrators and assigns alone shall be entitled to be recognised as the holder thereof and
so far as the Company is concerned, the entire and complete title shall be deemed to have been validly
transferred to such transferee.
86. Where two or more persons are registered as the holders of any share they shall be deemed (so far as the
Company is concerned) to hold the same as joint holders with benefits of survivorship subject to the
followings and other provisions contained in these Articles:
(a) The Company shall not be bound to register more than three persons as the holders of any share.
(b) The joint holders of any share shall be liable severally as well as jointly for and in respect of all
installments, calls, other payments which ought to be made in respect of such share.
(c) On the death of any of such joint holders, the survivor or survivors shall be the only person or
persons recognised by the Company as having any title to the share but the Directors may require
such evidence of death as they may deem fit and nothing herein contained shall be taken to
release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any liability on shares held by him jointly with
any other person.
(d) Any one of such joint holders may give effectual receipts of any dividends or interest or other
moneys payable in respect of such share.
(e) Only the person whose name stands first in the register of members or in the records of the
Depository as one of the joint holders of any share unless otherwise directed by all of them in
writing shall be entitled to delivery of certificate relating to such share from the Company and/or
any document served on or sent to such person shall be deemed service on all the joint holders.
(f) Any one of two or more joint holders may vote at any meeting either personally or by attorney
or by proxy in respect of such share as if he were solely entitled thereto and if more than one of
such joint holders be present at any meeting personally or by attorney or by proxy then that one
of such persons so present whose name stands first or higher (as the case may be) on the register
in respect of such share shall alone be entitled to vote in respect thereof but the other or others
of the joint holders shall be entitled to be present at the meeting; provided always that a joint
holder present at any meeting personally shall be entitled to vote in preference to a joint holder
present by an attorney or by proxy although the name of such joint holder present by an attorney
or proxy stands first or higher (as the case may be) in the register in respect of such shares.

name any share stands shall for the purpose of this sub-clause be deemed joint holders.
