Category 2

→The company anticipates continued growth, primarily driven by expansion initiatives in the US and new service offerings.
→Organic growth is expected from India, although growth rates may moderate from previous high levels due to slower consulting sector recruitment.
→The focus is on efficiency and maintaining or improving margins through operational improvements rather than price increases.
→Revenue growth in the next 3 to 5 years is expected to be steady, with expansion phases possibly causing temporary margin compression.
→Government sector clients are not currently a focus; the priority is on tapping existing high-potential markets first.
→Incremental growth will involve increased costs, especially from US and new initiative expansions but steady employee growth is expected in India.
