Profitability Margins
FY25 PAT margin was 4.0%, a drop of 139 bps from 5.4% in FY24. H1 FY26 PAT was INR 8 Cr, down 71% YoY from INR 28 Cr, primarily due to US tariff impacts of INR 39 Cr and higher finance costs.

High dependency on US-based retail giants for order volumes.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company is focused on 'execution excellence' and 'operating leverage' through the integration of newly acquired entities.
