Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

Management mentioned ongoing expansion from a go-to-market perspective, including investments in leadership, supply chain, program management, and facilities. Specific investments include expanding capabilities such as cable and wire harness manufacturing, with an advanced stage expansion at the Mysore facility planned to grow that business 10x.
