We are gaining market share in both Automotive and Media & Communications, especially in Europe. The numbers are muted in the region due to unfavorable currency movement. We won multi-year deals in EV and autonomous driving systems in the automotive space, and large deals in the off-road and rail segments. We have won strategic platform-led deals in media and communications, with new SaaS and managed services models. For us, this has been a quarter of investing strongly in growth for the future. With a net add of 1532, we have added the highest number of Elxsians in our history in a single quarter, while the attrition rate declined for the second consecutive quarter. We are entering the second half of the financial year with a strong order book and a healthy deal pipeline across key markets and industries, and the confidence of customers across markets.
