Profitability Margins
Standalone Net Profit Margin improved to 16.42% (INR 14.81 Cr) from 2.91% (INR 2.34 Cr) in FY2023-24, primarily driven by a one-time profit of INR 15.63 Cr from land sales. Consolidated Net Profit Margin stood at 10.73% (INR 9.90 Cr) compared to a net loss of 2.31% (INR 2.18 Cr) in the previous year.
EBITDA Margin
Operating Profit Margin (Standalone) turned negative, decreasing from 2.24% to -0.47% in FY2024-25. Consolidated Operating Profit Margin worsened to -5.63% from -2.47% due to heavy discounting on large software license orders and operating losses in subsidiaries.

Key Suppliers
Key technology partners include Tableau (Salesforce), Snowflake, Fivetran, Alteryx UK, DVW UK, and Simply Learn.
Capacity Expansion
Not a manufacturing entity; however, the company is expanding its technological footprint into EV and Hydrogen mobility through its subsidiary ROQIT, which was incorporated in December 2024.
Raw Material Costs

External Factors
Industry Trends
The IT industry is shifting toward data protection (DPDP Act) and cybersecurity (CERT-In). The company is positioning itself for the future by pivoting toward AI and Green Tech (EV/Hydrogen mobility).
Competitive Landscape
Intense competition from both large-scale IT firms and niche software resellers, constraining the company's ability to scale revenue beyond INR 93 Cr.
Competitive Moat
Moat is based on long-standing promoter experience (10+ years) and established strategic partnerships with global software leaders. However, the moat is challenged by intense competition and low switching costs in license resale.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Sensitive to global IT spending and GDP growth (projected at 3.0% for 2025). Sluggish demand in Europe and high interest rates in the US impact corporate earnings growth for IT clients.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward zero-emission mobility and data-driven business intelligence is driving the company's recent investment pivots.
Geopolitical Risks
Trade and tariff risks impacting IT service exports; vulnerability to changes in international trade policies as noted in August 2025 reports.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Must comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act (Jan 2025) and CERT-In Cybersecurity Guidelines (2025) regarding data localization, consent, and incident reporting.
Environmental Compliance
Focusing on zero-emission technology through ROQIT to align with global ESG trends; specific compliance costs are not disclosed.
Taxation Policy Impact
Subject to standard Indian corporate tax rates; fiscal 2025 performance was impacted by tax treatments of land sale capital gains.
Legal Contingencies
The company received a 'true and fair' audit opinion for FY2024-25; no specific pending High Court or Supreme Court litigation values were disclosed in the provided documents.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The acquisition of ETO and the startup phase of ROQIT may continue to drag down consolidated profitability in the short term due to initial expansion costs.
Geographic Concentration Risk
Significant revenue concentration in India, though export earnings contribute roughly one-fourth of the standalone business.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on a few key software vendors (Tableau, Snowflake) for the 'Software License Sale' segment, which is the largest revenue contributor.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of rapid shifts in software preferences; mitigated by maintaining partnerships with multiple leading-edge platforms like Snowflake and Fivetran.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables management has improved (Debtors Turnover 4.25), but the company remains vulnerable to the business policies of its top 5 clients who control 40% of revenue.
