Operational Highlights

Q4-FY21 Standalone:

  • Standalone Revenues witnessed healthy double digit growth on both QoQ and YoY basis due to increase the wallet share from existing growth clients.

  • Standalone EBITDA Margins have declined due to increase in employee costs for strengthening delivery and sales team.

Q4-FY21 Consolidated:

  • Q4-FY21 revenue increased by 15% QoQ due to an increase in demand from existing growth clients, while the low growth YoY is primarily due to exiting of low margin work in the international markets.

  • During the quarter the company added 5 new customers.

  • During the quarter and year, the company has received INR 40 Mn and INR 143 Mn respectively, as refunds from Income Tax Department.

FY21 Consolidated:
