> OPPURTUNUTY AND THREAT

India continues to remain one of the fastest-growing major economies globally, demonstrating resilience amid a dynamic and evolving global economic environment. As per the latest estimates, Indias real GDP is estimated to have grown by 7.6% during FY 2025-26, as compared to 7.1% during FY 2024-25, reflecting sustained economic momentum.

The growth during the year was supported by robust domestic demand, continued government focus on capital expenditure and infrastructure development, and steady performance across key sectors of the economy. The manufacturing sector continued to contribute to economic activity, supported by improving production capabilities, investments and government initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic manufacturing.

The services sector remained an important driver of economic growth, supported by sustained activity across financial services, information technology, professional services, trade, transport and other business-related services. The continued expansion of digital infrastructure and increasing adoption of technology also contributed to the overall resilience of the services economy.

Private consumption remained an important component of domestic economic activity, supported by improving employment conditions, rising incomes and increasing formalisation of economic activity. Government expenditure on infrastructure and other development initiatives continued to provide support to investment and economic activity.

Indias favourable demographic profile, expanding digital ecosystem, increasing formalisation of the economy and strengthening tax collections are expected to provide a strong foundation for medium- to long-term economic growth. The continued development of infrastructure, technological advancement and policy measures aimed at improving the ease of doing business are also expected to support investment and productivity.

While the global economy continues to face challenges arising from geopolitical uncertainties, changes in global trade policies, commodity price movements and fluctuations in international financial markets, Indias strong domestic economic fundamentals provide resilience against external headwinds.

Going forward, Indias growth prospects are expected to remain positive, supported by domestic demand, infrastructure investment, manufacturing expansion, growth in services and continued policy support. The Company remains optimistic about the overall economic environment and will continue to focus on operational efficiency, sustainable growth and creating long-term value for its stakeholders.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: GAMING INDUSTRY

The gaming industry in India is experiencing a period of rapid expansion and transformation. Fuelled by factors such as increasing smartphone penetration, affordable data plans, and a burgeoning youth population, the gaming sector has emerged as a significant contributor to the countrys digital economy. From casual mobile games to immersive virtual reality experiences, the gaming landscape offers diverse opportunities for content creators, developers, and investors alike. Moreover, the growing acceptance of gaming as a mainstream form of entertainment presents untapped potential for market expansion and monetization.

> ONLINE GAMING:

Within the broader gaming ecosystem, online gaming stands out as a particularly dynamic and fast-growing segment. The widespread availability of high-speed internet connectivity and the proliferation of smartphones have democratized access to online gaming content, driving increased user engagement and monetization opportunities. From multiplayer battle royale games to social casino platforms, online gaming encompasses a wide range of genres and formats that cater to diverse preferences and demographics. However, the sector faces regulatory scrutiny and operational challenges related to content moderation, data privacy, and cybersecurity, which necessitate proactive risk management and compliance measures.

The entertainment industry in India continues to evolve in response to shifting consumer preferences and technological advancements. Traditional forms of entertainment such as film, television, and music are being complemented and disrupted by digital media platforms and streaming services. This transformation presents both opportunities and challenges for content creators, distributors, and rights holders. To thrive in this dynamic landscape, companies must adapt their content strategies, embrace digital distribution channels, and navigate regulatory complexities and intellectual property rights.

To manage these risks, we employ hedging strategies, maintain diversified funding sources, and monitor macroeconomic indicators to inform decision-making and risk mitigation efforts.

Intensifying competition within the gaming and entertainment industries poses a significant risk to our market share and profitability.

Additionally, we prioritize proactive risk identification and mitigation through internal controls, compliance training, and incident response protocols to minimize exposure to legal and financial liabilities.

Execution risks associated with project management, resource allocation, and operational performance can impact the timeliness, quality, and cost-effectiveness of our initiatives, thereby influencing financial results and competitive positioning. To mitigate execution risks, we adopt a disciplined approach to planning and implementation, leveraging project management methodologies, performance metrics, and governance structures to monitor progress, address issues, and adapt to changing circumstances.
