- Revenue has remained largely flat in recent quarters, with current challenges in deal closures due to market caution and inflationary pressures. - The company expects growth from both organic avenues (existing high-growth tech areas like Salesforce, ServiceNow, user experience, low-code/RPA) and inorganic strategies (active M&A pipeline). - Cost structures, especially salary costs, are high and cannot be easily reduced; margin improvements depend on revenue and utilization growth. - Management is hopeful about a revenue growth revival but cannot provide firm guidance on timing. - EBITDA margins have room to improve if the current team can generate an additional ₹7-8 crores in revenue without expansion; margins could return to comfortable historical levels upon revenue growth. - Investments in new technologies (AI, blockchain) are ongoing but currently drain costs without immediate revenue contribution. - Overall, management is cautiously optimistic but notes that growth depends on broader market recovery and deal traction.
