SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS AFTER MARCH 31, 2026

In the opinion of the Board of Directors of our Company, since the date of the stub period in this Red Herring Prospectus, there have not arisen any circumstance that materially or adversely affect or are likely to affect the profitability of our Company or the value of its assets or its ability to pay its material liabilities within the next twelve months.

FACTORS AFFECTING OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our business is subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” on page 21 beginning of this Red Herring Prospectus

Our Company’s future results of operations could be affected potentially by the following factors:

Regulatory Environment for the Labor Market in India

Labour and employment laws in India are enacted both by the Centre and the State. India thus has a very comprehensive set of legislations with reference to labour and employment. These laws and regulations include the CLRA Act, the ESI Act, the Payment of Wages Act, the Minimum Wages Act, the Payment of Bonus Act, the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, the Payment of Gratuity Act, the Equal Remuneration Act, the Employees Compensation Act, the Sexual Harassment at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, the Maternity Benefit Act, the Inter State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment & Conditions of Service) Act, the Industrial Disputes Act, Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, the Child and Adolescent Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, the Apprentices Act, the relevant labour welfare fund legislations and the shops and commercial establishments legislations, which vary from state to state in India and are subject to change. These laws and regulations sometimes limit the size and growth of the HR solutions markets. Additionally, the Gol has introduced the (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Wages Code”); (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 which consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. While the rules for implementation under these codes have not been notified, we are yet to determine the impact of all or some such laws on our business and operations which may restrict our ability to grow our business in the future

General economic factors and the regulatory environment

Demand for our services is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and economic conditions in the various geographies of India and the sectors in which we operate. Deterioration in economic conditions in any of the key geographies or sectors that we operate in may lead to lower demand for our services. Any deterioration in global markets may also have a corresponding effect on our operations as some of our top clients are multinational corporations with operations in India. Any decision by our multi-national clients to reduce or exit their emerging markets operations may significantly impact our financial condition. In addition, the services we provide in India are subject to complex laws and regulations, which vary from state to state in India and are subject to change. Changes in laws or government regulations may result in the prohibition or restriction of certain types of employment services we are permitted to offer or the imposition of new or additional benefits, licensing or tax requirements that could reduce our revenues and earnings. Alternatively, labour law reforms can expand the market for our services and have a favourable effect on our results of operations.

Demand for staffing solutions especially is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and economic conditions in the various regions and sectors which we serve. An economic downturn in a region or sector which we serve may adversely affect our operations, as the use of temporary employees may decrease or fewer permanent employees may be hired. Many of our clients are multi-national corporations, and we may be affected by a downturn in the global markets as well. When economic activity increases, temporary employees or contract workers are often engaged before full-time employees are hired. During periods of economic downturn, however, many companies reduce their use of temporary employees before laying off full-time employees. However, it is also possible that during periods of temporary economic downturn, companies choose to engage temporary workforce as opposed to permanent employees. We could experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of economic downturn.

Retention of Talent

Our HR Services primarily depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified Deputees who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of our clients. For the financial years March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, our Deputee count was 11,812, 10,103 and 8,605 respectively. We rely on Deputees to provide services to our clients. Our professional staffing and value staffing HR Services are dependent upon the performance of our Deputees. Accordingly, our results of operations depend on our ability to recruit deputees on time and in the right volumes to meet the demand of our clients. Further, as we serve a diverse client base in a wide range of industries, it is also critical for us to identify, attract and retain deputees with requisite skills, including sector-specific expertise, to satisfy the requirements of our clients. If any of our Deputees do not perform in accordance with the instructions or standards established by the customers or agreed by us, and our customers become dissatisfied with the performance of our Deputees, our reputation and ability to maintain or expand our client base may be adversely affected.

Maintaining our customer relationship

For Fiscals 2026, 2025 and 2024, we served more than 600 customers. Across our entire solutions offerings, we have a diverse customer base from a variety of industries including IT/ ITES and infrastructure and agriculture. Additionally, the average years of relation with our top 5 is 7 years. Furthermore, the growing wallet sizes of certain of our customers and/ or customer groups between Fiscals 2026 and 2024. Our comprehensive suite of technology-driven human resources solutions has helped us develop long standing relationships with clients and has brought us repeat business over the years. We believe that our shift towards technology-driven solutions has helped strengthen client relationships, improved client retention and created a strong pipeline of future business.

We believe our ability to offer diverse solutions that cater to the needs of our customers across business verticals has allowed us to deepen our relationships with our customers and enabled us to target a greater share of their requirements thereby leading to recurring business. The loss of all or a significant portion of sales to any of our top 10 customers, for any reason (including the loss of contracts or inability to negotiate favourable terms, failure to meet their quality specification, technological changes, a decline in market share of these customers in their respective industries or high growth segments, disputes with these customers, adverse changes in their financial condition, insolvency or bankruptcy of these customers, decrease in their sales, facility closures, any action undertaken by the government affecting business of these customers, or labour strikes affecting their production), could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows

HR Technology Platforms

Our in-house technology team has developed proprietary HR Tech Platforms, which include CoreX and Core Pay under HR Tech, and Ctrl-F and Core-PFT under Reg Tech. These platforms form the backbone of our service delivery, enabling us to improve efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance, provide integrated HR solutions, and scale our operations across diverse client requirements. Since these platforms are developed and controlled internally, we are able to directly manage their design, upgrades, and enhancements without dependency on third- party vendors. This independence allows us to respond quickly to changing client requirements and evolving industry practices. However, our reliance on technology also exposes us to certain risks. For financial years 2026, 2025 and 2024, our server hosting expenses were ? 71.85 Lakhs , ?76.50 Lakhs and ? 75.67 Lakhs, respectively. While continued investment in technology is critical, it also brings risks such as limited adoption or ineffective use of these platforms by clients or internal teams could reduce the intended benefits in terms of efficiency, scalability, and profitability.

Any malfunction, downtime, or delay in platform performance could disrupt payroll processing, compliance reporting, or staffing operations, resulting in delayed disbursements, client dissatisfaction, or financial penalties. As these platforms handle sensitive client and employee data, cybersecurity threats, data breaches, or hacking attempts could lead to reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, and financial liabilities. The HR and payroll technology landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with increasing adoption of AI, automation, and analytics; failure to update or innovate in line with industry developments may make our platforms less competitive and impacting client retention. Further, regular amendments to labor, payroll, and tax regulations require timely incorporation into our platforms; delays or errors in updates could expose us to compliance risks, penalties, or loss of client confidence.

Competition

The staffing solutions industry in India is highly fragmented. We faces competition from both organized and unorganized players, depending on the nature and location of the services provided. Many industries the Company operates in have low entry barriers, resulting in competition from both the unorganized segment and established players with substantial marketing and financial resources. Additionally, the Company faces competition from regional firms that may have a better understanding of local markets and advantages in regional and language- specific contexts. We competes based on factors such as its network of offices, client relationships, technological and operational excellence, and both organic and inorganic growth and integration. The Indian workplace is undergoing a significant transformation, with traditional office spaces giving way to a more distributed workforce model. This trend has fueled the rapid adoption of HR tech solutions, providing ground for several players to emerge offering various types of HR solutions. Our continued success depends on our ability to compete effectively by providing high-quality service levels and developing strong relationships and value-added services to our existing and future clients.

QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to our longterm debt obligations with floating interest rates. We manage our interest rate risk by having a balanced

portfolio of fixed and variable rate loans and borrowings. For further information, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 253.

Effect of Inflation

We are affected by inflation as it has an impact on the salary, wages, etc. In line with changing inflation rates, we rework our margins so as to absorb the inflationary impact.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk arises principally from our receivables from deposits with landlords and other statutory deposits with regulatory agencies and also arises from cash held with banks and financial institutions. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of managing counterparty credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. We assess the credit quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. We limit exposure to credit risk of cash held with banks by dealing with highly rated banks and institutions and retaining sufficient balances in bank accounts required to meet a month’s operational costs. We review the bank accounts on regular basis and fund drawdowns are planned to ensure that there is minimal surplus cash in bank accounts.

Our Company conducts an extensive financial and credibility check on the landlords before taking any property on lease and our Company has no instance of non-refund of security deposit on vacating the leased property. The Company also in some cases ensure that the notice period of rentals are adjusted against the security deposits and only differential, if any, is paid out thereby further mitigating the nonrealization risk. Our Company foresees no credit risks on deposits with regulatory authorities

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that we will not be able to meet our financial obligations as they become due. We manage liquidity risk by ensuring, that we will always have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when due.
