What was answered, and how?

Will Q2 growth continue into Q3 and Q4?

It's hard for me to say whether Q3 will really be a growth today because of the uncertainty that we are facing. But our job is going to be to focus on order book and deliver higher order book.

Progress on reducing discretionary exposure and margin impact?

Our renewals will be at our current margin at the minimum. However, new deals in the range of about 30 to 50 million will definitely come at a lower margin.

Timing and quantum of salary hikes?

We have not taken a decision on salary hikes just yet. Senior leadership salary hikes were done at the beginning of this year around January.

Impact of H1B visa process change on margins?

We'll have to wait and watch in terms of how it shapes up. Currently we don't have a comment on that because we'll have to see the new regulation.

Key learnings from past 12 months and corrective actions?

One of the biggest learnings is that our order book has not been very strong. The entire team is focused on driving order book. We also realize we need to be more domain oriented.

Will FY26 end with single-digit growth and FY27 double-digit?

I don't know whether the growth will be single digit or whatever. It's hard for me to now say. My entire focus is a quarter on quarter.

Consider acquisitions or better capital allocation?

An acquisition currently is going to be a distraction. We need at least three or four quarters of sustained quarterly growth performance and then look at something.

Deep Ma · MK Global

evasive

Aspiration for positive FY26 growth and 13% EBITDA margin?

It is hard for me to say whether we'll be positive quite frankly. We don't give a guidance. On margins, our endeavor is at least to keep the margins at that level.

Status of delayed large deals?

We have won two reasonably large deals. One deal is getting signed in the month of August. The two big deals are Q3 Q4 decisions. Hopefully we will be able to close one out of the two.

Reason for ETR increase to 36%?

This quarter we've had to take it to about 36% because of a provision that we have made. We are engaging with our tax experts and have started transitioning our terms of engagement with key customers.

Why are turnaround efforts not executing as planned?

Our top 24 customers or top 40 customers have not matched up to the kind of growth we had seen. Some of this work is becoming insourced. Our focus needs to go back into mining these accounts.

Is EBITDA margin target flattish for FY26 with uptick in FY27?

Our going in position right now is that the EBITDA margins will be in the current range give or take a few. As the revenue growth comes back the margins will automatically improve.
