This performance was anchored in execution excellence, operating leverage and sharp cost discipline, while maintaining strong cash generation from the business.

This outcome reflects a revenue CAGR of 15.3% and an EBITDA CAGR of 35.4% over the last four years (FY22-FY26), with our overall headcount at 2,485.

During the year, we saw sustained momentum across ER&D and digital engineering services, supported by deeper engagement with strategic accounts. We continue to invest in strengthening our capabilities and expanding our presence across the US and Europe.

In line with our capital allocation priorities and commitment to consistent shareholder returns, the Board has recommended a record dividend of INR 8 per share, our 11th consecutive annual dividend and an increase over last year.

While the macro environment remains dynamic, demand for engineering services remains resilient. As we enter FY27, we will continue to focus on delivery-led growth, scaling our offshore model, deepening strategic accounts and strengthening vertical specialization, aimed at driving sustained double-digit growth in Revenue and EBITDA.”
