Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

Currently, Kore Digital Limited does not have an immediate need for fundraising as they are "flooded with cash." A recent payment of INR 20 crores was received from Vodafone, contributing to the cash reserves. Ravindra Doshi mentioned that if the defense project comes through, there will be government-backed funding of INR 100 crores. If additional funds are needed in the future, the company has investors and market access to raise capital. There is no immediate plan for capital raising like QIP or preferential allotment.
