Technology Obsolescence Risk

The failure to implement mandatory audit trail software indicates a lag in digital transformation and regulatory technology adoption.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Significant credit risk is associated with the INR 18.96 Cr guarantee provided to a related party, which exceeds typical exposure limits for a company of this size.
