EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

[Pursuant to the provisions of Section 102 of the Companies Act, 2013

Item No. 1

The Members may note that the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on November 06, 2020 had approved the proposal for change of name of the Company from '8K Miles Software Services Limited' to 'SecureKloud Technologies Limited', subject to the approval of Central Government, the Members of the Company and other relevant Statutory and Regulatory authorities.

The Members may note that, as a "Born in Cloud" company and focusing on Cloud Transformation providing robust Security and Compliance for highly regulated industries, we would like our name to reflect our competency and deep expertise in cloud transformation. To this effect, we propose to change of name of the Company from '8K Miles Software Services Limited' to 'SecureKloud Technologies Limited'

The Registrar of Companies has approved the availability of the desired name i.e. 'SecureKloud Technologies Limited' vide their approval dated November 12, 2020. The provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and rules made thereunder requires the Company to obtain approval of Members by a Special Resolution for effecting change in the Company name and consequential alteration in the Memorandum and the Articles of Association.

The proposed change of name of the Company would not result in change of the legal status or constitution or operations or activities of the Company, nor would it affect any rights or obligations of the Company or the Members / stakeholders and would be subject to approval of Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

The Board recommends the Special Resolution as set out at Item No. 1 of this Notice, for the approval of the Members.

None of the Directors/Key Managerial Personnel of the Company/their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the said resolution set out at in this Notice.

Item No. 2

The Members may note that the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on October 28, 2020 had approved Listing of Healthcare Triangle Inc. (Step-down Subsidiary) and consequential cessation of indirect control, subject to the approval of the Members of the Company.

The Members may note that, Healthcare Triangle Inc (HTI) was carved out as a separate entity from 8K Miles Software Services Inc, US to increase our focus on Life Sciences and Healthcare business exclusively. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated corporate investments in public cloud infrastructure; HTI with domain centric SaaS / PaaS platform-based business transformation with continuous security for regulated industry such as Pharma / Life Sciences and Healthcare, is uniquely

positioned to ride this wave. This is demonstrated by increase in business from our Life Sciences and Healthcare customers.

HTI is an 85% subsidiary of 8K Miles Software Services Inc; ultimately owned by 8K Miles Software Services, India (Holding Company). The Board of Director of HTI propose to raise an overall capital up to USD 50 Million in HTI through PE Investments / Initial Public Offering (IPO) listing in US Capital markets and / or Other Strategic Investors. In the first tranche, HTI propose to raise up to USD 25 Million. Whilst this may reduce the indirect holding of 8K Miles Software Services, India (Holding Company) to below 50% in HTI; we truly believe that this is a step in the right direction in the long term value creation journey for 8K Miles Software Services shareholders as the value accretion will flow back to them.

The Board recommends the Special Resolution in line with the SEBI Listing Regulations as set out at Item No. 2 of this Notice, for the approval of the Members.

None of the Directors/Key Managerial Personnel of the Company/their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the said resolution set out at in this Notice.
