Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SA”s) specified under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (the “Act”). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in Auditor’s Responsibilities for audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its associate in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“ICAI”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 under the provisions

Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP
of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Statement
This Statement, which includes the Consolidated Financial Results is the responsibility of the Company’s Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The Statement has been compiled from the related audited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at and for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. This responsibility includes the preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and consolidated other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group including its associate in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Ind AS 34, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
The respective Boards of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate, are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and its associate and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Results by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Results, the respective Boards of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective subsidiaries and of its associate to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the respective Boards of Directors either intend to liquidate their

respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Boards of Directors of the companies included in the Group and of its associate are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and of its associate.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Consolidated Financial Results.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Results, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of such controls.
==> picture [8 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.
Page 4 of 6
Deloitte
Haskins & Sells LLP
-
Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group and its associate to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated Financial Results or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and its associate to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Consolidated Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Standalone Financial Results, entities within the Group and its associate to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of entities within the Group included in the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors. We have evaluated the materiality of revenue, net profit and total assets of an associate whose unaudited interim financial information was included in the Consolidated Financial Results of the Group and have concluded that those were not material to the Group. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
==> picture [7 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Results that, individually or in aggregate, makes it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the Consolidated Financial Results may be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in
Page 5 of 6
Deloitte Haskins & Sells LLP
evaluating the results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the Consolidated Financial Results.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company and such other entities included in the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the independent auditors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

Note on segment information
Business segments
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (‘CODM’), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Operating segments are identified based on the internal organization at the Balance Sheet date. With the objective of internal financial reporting and decision making of the Group, the CODM has reviewed the manner in which the Group views the business risks and returns and monitors its operations. Accordingly, the group has identified business segment which comprises of Banking and Financial Services, Healthcare, Communication, Media and Technology and Diverse Industries.
Revenues and expenses directly attributable to the segments are reported under each reportable segment. The accounting principles used in the preparation of the segment information are consistently applied to record revenue and expenditure in individual business segments.
Assets and liabilities used in the Group’s business are not directly identified to any of the operating segments, as these are used interchangeably between segments. Allocation of such assets and liabilities is not practicable and any forced allocation would not result in any meaningful segregation. Hence assets and liabilities have not been identified to any of the reportable segments by the Group.
