Competitive position of the Company
(a) Industry structure and developments
It is said Revolution happens with every blink of an eye. The Technology Industry stands testimony to this statement. Change has become the order of the day in the case of Technology Industry. The latest edition being, the Fourth Industrial Revolution which is nothing but an automation of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices, using smart technology. Large-scale machine-to-machine communication (M2M) and the internet of things (IoT) are integrated for increased automation, improved communication and self-monitoring, and production of smart machines that can analyze and diagnose issues without the need for human intervention.
Robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, quantum computing, biotechnology, internet of things, industrial internet of things, are going to play a deciding role in the decision making process in any walk of life for that matter.
There are four design principles identified as integral to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is commonly known as "industry 4.0":
Interconnectionthe ability of machines, devices, sensors, and people to connect and communicate with each other via the Internet of things, or the internet of people (loP) Information transparency the transparency offered by Industry 4.0 technology provides operators with comprehensive information to inform decisions. Inter-connectivity allows operators to collect immense amountsof data and information from all points in the manufacturing process, identify key areas that can benefit from improvement to increase functionality. Technical assistance the technological facility of systems to assist humans in decision-making and problem-solving, and the ability to help humans with difficult or unsafe tasks Decentralized decisions the ability of cyber physical systems to make decisions on their own and to perform their tasks as autonomously as possible. Only in the case of exceptions, interference, or conflicting goals, are tasks delegated to a higher level.
The industry 4.0 has sweeping presence in the day to day functioning of our society. A close look into this aspect reveals the following examples:
3D printing Mobile devices Location detection technologies Advanced human-machine interfaces Authentication and fraud detection Smart sensors Internet of things (IoT) platforms Big analytics and advanced processes Customer interactions and customer profiling
Mainly these technologies can be summarized into four major components, defining the term Industry 4.0 or "smartfactory"
1 Cyber-physical systems 1 IoT 1 On-demand availability of computer system resources 1 Cognitive computing
Biggest trends
In essence, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies and processes which include cyber-physical systems (CPS), IoT, industrial internet of things, cloud computing, cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence.
Smart factory
The Fourth Industrial Revolution fosters what has been called a "smart factory". Within modular structured smart factories, cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world and make decentralized decisions.
Predictive maintenance
Predictive maintenance -can identify maintenance issues in live - allows machine owners to perform cost-effective maintenance and determine it ahead of time before the machinery fails or gets damaged. This helps in addressing the issuein advance and better preparedness on the part of the users. For example, a manufacturer or a maintenance firm in India can track and map if a particular machinery, under his radar, is operating beyond the specified parameters which may hamper its normal functioning and thus need to be addressed accordingly.
Smart sensors
Sensors and instrumentation drive the central forces of innovation, not only for Industry 4.0, but also for other "smart" megatrends, such as smart production, smart mobility, smart homes, smart cities and smart factories.
Smart sensors are devices, which generate the data and allow further functionality from self-monitoring and self-configurationto condition monitoring of complex processes. With the capability of wireless communication, they reduce installation effortto a great extent and help realize a dense array of sensors.
The importance of sensors, measurement science, and smart evaluation for Industry 4.0 has been recognized and acknowledged by various experts and has already led to the statement "Industry 4.0: nothing goes without sensor systems"
However, there are few issues, such as time synchronization error, data loss, and dealing with large amounts of harvested data, which limit the implementation of full-fledged systems. Moreover, additional limits on these functionalities represents the battery power. One example of the integration of smart sensors in the electronic devices, is the case of smart watches, where sensors receive the data from the movement of the user, process the data and as a result, provide the user with the information about how many steps they have walked in a day and also converts the data into calories burned.

Adopting changing requirements with flexibility is a guidepost for Industry 4.0. The next wave, Industry 5.0,has also emerged recently. Industry 5.0 has a more collaborative approach than Industry 4.0, including even more collaboration between humans and robots.
While the theme of Industry 4.0 revolves around connectivity through cyber-physical systems, Industry 5.0-while also aligned with platforms made possible by Industry 4.0- also addresses the relationship between "man and machine," otherwise known as robots or cobots. Industry 4.0 laid the groundwork for human/machine collaboration, as well as machine-to-machine collaboration and connectivity between the plant, logistics, supply chain management, and the end user. Digital integration now promises to connect all stakeholders under a common platform.
In addition to these pieces, Industry 5.0 integrates human creativity and robotic precision, working toward a unique solution that will be the demand of the next decade. Together, Industry 4.0 and 5.0 have created a roadmap that industries must follow in order to endure.
Industry 4.0 and 5.0 both address basic considerations:
?
Cyber-physical systems that connect the world?
New technology-driven approach?
Digital twins?
Asset performance management?
Product life cycle management?
IIoT-driven total automation?
Man/machine collaboration?
Digital transformation?
Cybersecurity(b) Opportunities and Threats.
Opportunities and Threats are two sides of the same coin. The said two facets co-exists in every walk of our life. This assumes further significance in this hyper dynamic world of innovations and growing complexities that we keep pace with our business competitors.
Whether the entity is large, whether it is medium or if it is small, every entity is a competitor to the other, irrespective of its size, its standing and its strengths. Large entities face structural problems whereas small entities face existential challenges. In the specific case of an IT services company, procuring new customers is significant for its very survival. Considering the fact that IT consulting firms primarily work on a contract basis, it is always important for them to focus on gaining new clients.
A contract isnt permanent. Because of this, while working with one or more clients, efforts are always being put into findingnew ones, which can become quite a nerve-wracking effort.
Threat of new entrants looms large on the IT industry. However, small-to-medium consulting services firms are challenging the bigger, more established firms with their ability to innovate and their agile pricing and service models.
The enablers and drivers of growth of the IT consulting industry have been several. First, innovation in frameworks and methodologies along with trained professionals have provided value-added services uniquely available from the consulting firm. Novelty and complexity have been a second driver.
Further, any outbreak of mass epidemic, like the Covid-19 or outbreak of war, like the Russia-Ukraine war may force the business entities to suspend and restragegise their business policies.

(h) Material developments in Human Resources / Industrial Relations front, including number of people employed.
It is a universally accepted fact that, retaining good talent pool is the biggest challenge in the technology sector. Attrition among employees, especially at entry level is usually higher than other sectors. Employees have the generally tendency to shift their jobs and job profiles in pursuit of higher ambitions. Commensurate compensation packages is a related challenge in this Industry, driven by higher demands for good talent.
Our pro-human resources policy helps us in mitigating the employee attrition rate and maintain cordial relations across the organization. Further, our human resource strategy has enabled us to attract, integrate, develop and retain the best talent required for driving business growth.
