Category 2

- The company plans to grow employee headcount by approximately 30% annually, targeting around 40,000 employees over the next 3 to 3.5 years (Page 12). - Management expresses confidence in achieving good growth rates due to increasing formalization in the Indian HR services market and government policies supporting formalization (Page 16). - Focus is on Industrial Staffing and IT Staffing, both credit-based, aiming to leverage growth from manufacturing and the CapEx cycle uptick in India (Pages 14, 23). - Overall revenue growth driven by expansion in industrial (blue and gray collar) and IT staffing segments, with continued investment in technology and AI to stay competitive (Page 23). - Staffing revenues for FY23 were ₹503 crores, with mobile exports at ₹264 crores, totaling ₹768 crores; growth expected mostly in staffing business (Page 23). - Despite competition from large players, there is significant market potential owing to low formal contract staffing penetration in India (about 1%) (Page 16). In summary, a 30% year-on-year growth in volumes and revenues is targeted over the next three years primarily driven by staffing business expansion.
