💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Application Development, the primary focus, grew at a CAGR of 38% over the three years ending FY24. Digital Transformation services grew at a CAGR of 35% over the same period. Total Operating Income (TOI) reached INR 883.16 Cr in FY25, representing a 16% YoY growth compared to INR 761.63 Cr in FY24.

Geographic Revenue Split

The USA and UK markets are the primary contributors, accounting for 76% of total revenue in FY24 and Q1 FY25. The APAC region is seeing increased contribution driven by global players establishing centers in India.

Profitability Margins

Operating margins have remained stable at approximately 16-17% over the past few years. PAT margins improved as PAT grew from INR 81.98 Cr in FY23 to INR 96.17 Cr in FY24 (17.3% growth) and reached INR 108.80 Cr in FY25 (13.1% growth).

EBITDA Margin

PBILDT margin was 16.58% in FY25, a slight moderation from 17.91% in FY24. This 133 bps decline was primarily due to one-time acquisition-related expenses and higher provisions, though margins recovered to 18.4% in Q1 FY26 (INR 45.83 Cr PBILDT on INR 249.07 Cr revenue).

Capital Expenditure

Inorganic CAPEX included INR 156 Cr (USD 18.8 million) for Solveda in August 2023 and INR 61.50 Cr for Ceptes Software in 2024. The company maintains a strong cash balance of INR 197 Cr as of March 2025 to fund future growth.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

Long-term bank facilities are rated CARE A; Stable and short-term facilities are rated CARE A1. Borrowing costs are low as the company is virtually debt-free with an overall gearing of 0.12x in FY25, up from 0.05x in FY24 due to a INR 29.4 Cr loan for the Ceptes acquisition.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

As an IT services firm, the primary 'raw material' is human capital. Employee costs and third-party service costs are the key determinants of margins, typically representing the largest portion of operating expenses.

Import Sources

Not applicable for IT services; however, talent is primarily sourced from India (offshore) and local markets in the US, UK, and Singapore (onsite).

Key Suppliers

Not applicable; the company relies on technology partners like Salesforce for platform-specific service delivery.

Capacity Expansion

Capacity is measured by headcount and delivery centers. The company is expanding its offshore delivery mix, which increased from 53% in FY22 to 56% in FY25, with a long-term target of a 60:40 offshore-to-onsite ratio.

Raw Material Costs

Employee costs are managed through a judicious mix of permanent staff and third-party consultants. Offshoring is the primary strategy to optimize these costs, as seen in the 3% increase in offshore mix over three years.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Efficiency is tracked via the offshore-onsite delivery ratio (currently 56% offshore) and employee utilization rates to ensure optimal cost structures.

Logistics & Distribution

Not applicable; services are delivered digitally or onsite at client locations.

📈 Strategic Growth

Expected Growth Rate

16%

Growth Strategy

Growth is driven by a 'string of pearls' acquisition strategy, such as Solveda (e-commerce) and Ceptes (Salesforce), which contributed INR 115 Cr in incremental revenue in FY25. The company focuses on cross-selling these new capabilities to its existing 16+ 'million-dollar' clients to increase wallet share.

Products & Services

Business intelligence solutions, information management, Salesforce consulting, application development, cloud migration, IoT solutions, and software testing services.

Brand Portfolio

Saksoft, Solveda, Ceptes, DreamOrbit, Three Sixty Logica, Faichi Solutions.

New Products/Services

Salesforce platform-related services (via Ceptes) and AI accelerators are expected to be major growth drivers, with inorganic expansions contributing roughly 13% of FY25 revenue.

Market Expansion

Expansion is focused on the APAC region and deepening presence in niche verticals like Logistics, Fintech, and Healthcare in the US and UK markets.

Market Share & Ranking

Saksoft is a mid-tier niche player in the fragmented global IT services market, specializing in digital transformation for mid-market enterprises.

Strategic Alliances

Strategic partnerships with platform providers like Salesforce to enhance service delivery in digital transformation.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The IT industry is shifting toward AI-driven automation and cloud-native engineering. Saksoft is positioning itself by acquiring specialized firms to avoid obsolescence and capture the 35%+ growth in digital transformation spending.

Competitive Landscape

Faces intense competition from large Tier-1 IT multinationals with deeper pockets and smaller regional players with lower overheads.

Competitive Moat

The moat is built on 'switching costs'—once Saksoft manages a client's core applications and data migration, the relationship becomes 'sticky,' leading to repeat business and consistent revenue.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

High sensitivity to US and UK GDP growth and interest rates; high interest rates in developed markets have previously led to moderated growth (13.6% in FY24 vs 39% in FY23).

Consumer Behavior

Enterprise clients are increasingly moving toward 'vendor consolidation,' preferring partners who can provide end-to-end digital transformation rather than isolated services.

Geopolitical Risks

Geopolitical tensions and wars in Europe have decreased client spending in those regions, impacting the pace of new contract signings.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Compliance with global labor laws and data privacy regulations (like GDPR in the UK/EU) is critical for maintaining international service contracts.

Environmental Compliance

Saksoft voluntarily adopted BRSR reporting in 2022 and achieved carbon-neutral status in FY24.

Taxation Policy Impact

The company operates across multiple tax jurisdictions including India, USA, UK, and Singapore, with a consolidated PAT of INR 108.80 Cr in FY25.

Legal Contingencies

No specific pending high-value court cases or litigation values were disclosed in the available documents.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Macroeconomic volatility in the US/UK could impact growth by 5-10% if clients defer projects. Attrition and wage inflation pose a risk to the 16% operating margin target.

Geographic Concentration Risk

High concentration with 76% of revenue derived from the USA and UK, making the company vulnerable to regional economic downturns.

Third Party Dependencies

Dependency on third-party consultants for project-specific scaling, which can impact cost optimization if not managed judiciously.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

Rapid advancements in AI could make traditional testing or application development services obsolete if the company fails to integrate AI accelerators.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Receivables quality is high, with a focus on mid-tier and enterprise clients; credit periods are 60-75 days for international and 90 days for Indian clients.
