The company registered highest-ever quarterly revenue at Rs 171.68 crore during December quarter (Q3FY23), with a growth of 37.9 per cent YoY and 4.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis. It maintained a double-digit EBITDA margin at 16.0 per cent in Q3FY23, despite of challenging global macro-economic environment.

The company in its FY22 annual report said that it will continue to build enterprise applications for port operators and ship management companies. The company will aid public sector agencies to transform digitally and upload their data on commercial cloud (as per the government mandate).

Robotics, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, Internet of Things (IoT), among others is expected to be the key technology focus areas in the medium term. While the IT spending forecasts remain positive, a slowdown in the US and UK economy would impact the IT spending of the clients in these geographies. The company’s ability to add and diversify its customer base while maintaining stable margins remains key to the prospects of the company, according to CARE Ratings.
