The quarter was marked by several strategic milestones that further strengthened our long- term growth platform. Proposed acquisition of Infinova (India) Private Limited to build a Make in India surveillance technology platform, strengthening the Company’s capabilities in video surveillance and security solutions. Strengthened our new tech portfolio with new partnership with Drona Aviation to broaden access to drone-based STEM learning, expanding opportunities in drone education and technology and Jupiter Electric Mobility to strengthen the Company’s drone technology portfolio and expand its presence in the emerging drone ecosystem.

We believe our diversified portfolio, deep technology partnerships, and value-added distribution model position us well to capitalize on these long-term growth trends. Looking ahead, our focus remains on sustaining profitable growth while improving working capital efficiency and cash conversion, expanding our technology portfolio, strengthening strategic partnerships, and integrating our recent acquisitions.
