Fundraise plans

- The company was in talks with Sirca Italy pre-COVID for Sirca to increase their shareholding to 10%, which was near finalization but has been delayed due to COVID and global market issues. - Management indicated that this equity infusion is still on the cards and likely to be finalized once COVID-related disruptions subside. - No mention of any new fundraising through debt was made; the focus is on managing current expenses and reducing costs. - They are currently cutting costs via travel reductions and online trainings without increasing human resource expenses. - CAPEX was around ₹32-34 crore in FY20, with no planned CAPEX in FY21, suggesting cautious financial management without immediate need for additional funding. In summary, an equity infusion from Sirca Italy is expected post-COVID, but no new debt or immediate fundraising plans were disclosed.
