21. Conservation of Energy, Technology Absorption and Foreign Exchange Earnings and Outgo

(A) Conservation of Energy

LatentView is committed to sustainable growth, and we recognize energy conservation as a critical component of our environmental stewardship. Our efforts are aligned with national and global goals to reduce carbon emissions, improve energy efficiency, and promote sustainable operational practices.

In FY 25-26, we have implemented a series of initiatives aimed at minimizing energy consumption across our facilities. These include optimizing natural daylight usage, installing energy-efficient lighting, enabling power management features on office equipment, and enhancing HVAC system performance. Moreover, our approach extends beyond infrastructure to include employee awareness and behavioural change, reinforcing a culture of energy responsibility across the organization.

These measures have contributed to a measurable reduction in our energy footprint, and we remain committed to continuously improving our performance through innovation, monitoring, and stakeholder engagement.

Modes of energy conservation @LatentView Employee Engagement and Awareness

The organization adopts a "lead by example" approach by actively educating employees on the importance of energy management. Awareness campaigns, best practice guidelines, and regular communications are used to foster a culture of energy responsibility among staff.

Device Power Management

Power management features are enabled on computers, monitors, printers, and other electronic devices. These settings automatically place devices in low-power or sleep modes when not in use, further reducing unnecessary energy consumption throughout the workday.

Transition to LED Lighting

The entire office is outfitted with energy-efficient LED lighting. No CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp) fixtures are used. LEDs consume less electricity and offer longer service life, contributing to both energy savings and reduced maintenance.

Enhanced AHU Efficiency

We have intensified the monitoring, cleaning, and maintenance of Air Handling Unit (AHU) filters. Cleaner filters improve airflow and reduce the strain on HVAC systems, which in turn leads to lower energy consumption and enhanced system performance.

Optimized Use of Natural Daylight

The office layout has been strategically designed with workstations positioned along the building facade. This maximizes the use of natural sunlight during daytime hours, significantly reducing reliance on artificial lighting and lowering overall electricity consumption.

Individual AC Control in Meeting Rooms

All meeting rooms are equipped with individual air conditioning control units. These units allow for room-specific temperature control and are switched off when not in use. This reduces the load on the central chiller system and helps conserve energy.

Post-Working Hours Lighting Management

The security and technology teams actively monitor office lighting after working hours. Lights in unused areas are promptly turned off, ensuring that no energy is wasted when spaces are unoccupied.

(B) Technology Absorption

Over the past few years, and particularly in FY 25-26, LatentView has significantly accelerated our organizationwide efforts in absorbing and deploying deep technologies. This includes embracing advanced and emerging areas such as Agentic AI, Generative AI, Al-driven supply chain systems, AI governance, AlOps, MLOps, Data Observability, and Data Engineering.

Our approach towards technology absorption has been structured across three core pillars:

1. Building People Capability:

LatentView has established multiple Centers of Excellence (CoEs) - in AI & ML, Marketing Analytics, and Data Science, to nurture and scale our internal talent. These are further augmented through strategic partnerships with top-tier universities to create a sustainable talent pipeline equipped for the future of AI.

2. Creating Scalable Technology Assets:

LatentView has built a suite of AI and data analytics solutions designed to strengthen our market position. These include:

• MARKEE: An Agentic AI-driven performance marketing platform.

• OBSERVE AI: An enterprise-grade data observability solution.

• MLOps X: A flexible MLOps framework compatible with both Databricks and open-source ecosystems.

• AI-driven supply chain demand forecasting and multi-tier supplier visibility tools featured on the Databricks Marketplace.

These assets not only enable faster go-to-market for our customers but also position us as innovation leaders in the space.

3. Deepening Practice Development and Go-to-Market Readiness:

LatentView has invested significantly in practice development, branding, and sales pipeline generation. Were proud to see many of our associates contributing to the development of Large Language Models and bespoke AI algorithms directly within customer environments.

This has started allowing us to go beyond execution, enabling us to advise clients on their AI roadmaps, cocreate POCs, and convert strategic AI opportunities into long-term engagements.

Additionally, weve strengthened our partner ecosystem including collaborations with Databricks, GCP, Snowflake, and a GenAI-based code conversion and migration specialist, which enhances our capabilities in the data modernization space.

Our internal performance measurement frameworks have been recalibrated to support the adoption and development of deep technologies across all business units. These collective efforts are already delivering impact: we were recently recognized as Leaders in the PeMa Quadrant Survey by Analytics India Magazine for our capabilities in Data Science, Data Engineering, and MLOps.

We are now actively engaged in customer conversations and pilot programs in the areas of Generative AI and Agentic AI - a strong validation of the depth and direction of our tech absorption journey.
