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 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.

Media Release For Immediate Release

We continue to invest in people and emerging technologies to maintain our position as the best-in-class engineering company. We have also augmented our leadership in this quarter and strengthened our front-end capabilities. These efforts, as mentioned previously and evident from the results of this quarter, have marginally dented our profitability. We expect the margins to be suppressed for some time as we continue to make investments in growing the business globally. Notwithstanding the current macroeconomic recessionary headwinds, we are confident of turning around this situation through our deep technical expertise and longstanding client relationships, said Rajiv C Mody, Chairperson and Managing Director of Sasken.

Business highlights - Product Engineering Services

In the Communication & Devices segment, our network engineering services continue to generate market traction. In the Radio Access Networks space, we have expanded our current scope of engagement to include a derivative for a satellite variant of 4G eNodeB. Our involvement in O-RAN based products positions us well to capitalize on the increased interest from traditional network equipment manufacturers. We have recently won new business in the Android segment for both upgrades as well as SMR. Solution accelerators and new offerings in immersive HMI, system integration and AR/VR help differentiate us from competition.

The satellite segment continues to grow with our recent expansion to system testing for an existing customer. Recent developments in the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) systems and 3GPP enabled Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) will provide a boost to the market potential. With our track record in traditional satellite systems engineering, Sasken is poised to serve the LEO-based systems and the emerging NTN-based systems.

In the automotive domain, we see traction in connected vehicle offerings including telematics, in-vehicle infotainment, distributed cloud to vehicle cockpit applications, 5G based connectivity and V2X. Not only are we augmenting our services in software defined vehicle domains, fully digital integrated cockpit, ADAS and AUTOSAR but also building new solutions in low code/no code test automation frameworks and CCC digital key solutions.

In the semiconductor segment, we continue to explore newer opportunities while consolidating and building on our existing engagements. For example, we are augmenting our presence with a tier-1 semiconductor vendor in the cellular modems segment.

Business highlights - Digital

In the digital domain, we are seeing uptick in cloud engineering solutions encompassing cloud migration, digital platform development, data engineering and containerization services. We plan to augment our cloud engineering capabilities through vertical focused solutions, elevation of partnerships with hyper-scalers (AWS and Azure) and creating reusable tools / accelerators.

My team and I are grateful for the trust you have placed in us and wish to assure you of our commitment to do

our best for all stakeholders.
