We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Results
This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2022. The Holding Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Statement that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, 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 Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Group 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 accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement 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 Statement by the Directors of the Holding Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Statement, the respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for assessing the ability of the respective entities 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 intends to liquidate their respective entities or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement 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 this Statement.
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 Statement, 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 the company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.

To the Board of Directors of Sasken Technologies Limited
Report on the Audit of Standalone Financial Results
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying standalone financial results of Sasken Technologies Limited (‘the Company’) for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2022 (‘the Statement’), attached herewith, being submitted by the Company pursuant to the requirement of Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended (‘Listing Regulations’).
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid Statement:
-
(i) is presented in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 33 of the Listing Regulations in this regard; and
-
(ii) gives a true and fair view in conformity with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” (Ind AS 34) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the net profit and other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Company for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2022.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the standalone financial results under the provisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the Code of Ethics.
We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Board of Directors’ Responsibilities for the Standalone Financial Results
This Statement has been prepared on the basis of the interim standalone financial statements for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Statement that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other comprehensive income in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in Ind AS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’, 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 Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company 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 accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Statement 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 Statement by the Directors of the Company, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Statement, the Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors of the Company are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement as a whole is 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 the Statement.
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 Statement, 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 the Company’s Internal Control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.
-
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 Company 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 Statement 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Statement, including the disclosures and whether the Statement represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Company 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.

At the same time, we continue to strengthen our IoT enablement, application testing and smart factory offerings.
The satellite segment continues to be our forte. A testimony to this is a recent win from one of the largest defence and satellite communication company.
In the automotive domain, we have expanded our business with a tier 1 supplier and are their strategic partner in the areas of integrated cockpit and telematics. Our engagements in the EV segment while yet in the nascent stage have the potential to scale. We have built test frameworks that will help Continuous Integration / Continuous Development (CI/CD) to help tier 1s deliver auto grade software.
The semiconductor segment is likely to witness headwinds. We remain watchful of events that could potentially have an adverse impact. However, we continue to expand market opportunities with leading North America based semiconductor vendors.
Business highlights – Digital
In the digital domain, our focus remains on digitalization and digitization of the manufacturing process for leading companies in the industry 4.0 and automotive domain. We have initiated a new cloud infrastructure engagement with a marquee automotive customer. Work is underway to develop new solutions in cloud based high performance computation including hardware virtualization and validation.
Operational Management
We have commenced an office-first hybrid work model which has been implemented across all locations. Returning to work from the office will enhance the Social Capital, spark better employee engagement, and innovation. Our ASEs are undergoing an immersive learning experience in ‘Arise’, our center dedicated for the campus to corporate transformation. KenMap®, our proven methodology for enhancing the technical and domain competence of our engineers, has resulted in our talent pool being valued as the best in the industry.
