2. Your Companys journey has been nothing short of remarkable - Significant Developments

Incorporated on February 10, 2024, your Company laid the foundations of a bold new vision — one that took decisive shape on April 1, 2025, when it commenced independent operations following the successful vesting and transfer of the demerged business undertaking pursuant to the Composite Scheme of Arrangement amongst Quess Corp Limited (the Demerged Company), your Company, and Bluspring Enterprises Limited. A crowning milestone soon followed, on June 11, 2025, when, your Company achieved a landmark moment with its listing on BSE Limited (Scrip Code: 544413) and the National Stock

Exchange of India Limited (Symbol: DIGITIDE), a moment that not only marked the Companys arrival in the public markets, but also created wealth for all members who received shares as part of the Composite Scheme of Arrangement.

Yet perhaps the most telling measure of your Companys character lies not in its market presence, but in the culture it has quietly and thoughtfully built. Being ranked among Indias Top 10 Workplaces in Health & Wellness 2026 by Great Place to Work India — within a mere year of independent operations, is a distinction that reflects an organisation that does not merely pursue growth but nurtures the people who drive it. Carrying forward this momentum and legacy with pride, your Company remains steadfast in its commitment to creating operational excellence and delivering meaningful value to every stakeholder it serves.

With effect from November 05, 2025, your Company has shifted the registered office within the local limits of the Bengaluru city to its new address identity “New Municipal No. 1, Sri Subramanya Plaza, 29th Main Road, BTM Layout 1st stage, Ring Road, Bengaluru, Bengaluru urban, Karnataka, 560068” for better administrative convenience and effective coordination, as an independent entity.
