I now hand the conference over to Mr. Tushar Agnihotri, Chief Executive Officer, Route Mobile
Limited. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Tushar Agnihotri: Thank you. Good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Route Mobile's earnings
call for the second quarter and first half of fiscal year 2027. I'm Tushar, and it's my pleasure to
welcome you all.
Joining me today are Vinay Binyala, who will take you through the operational and strategic
highlights of the quarter; and Raj Gill, who will walk you through our financial performance in
detail. Following our opening remarks, we will open the floor for questions. Before we begin, a
quick note, our quarterly earnings presentation was uploaded yesterday, and I hope you had an
opportunity to review it. Some of these statements made during the call may be forward-looking
in nature and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Please refer to disclaimers in our presentation
for further details.
Now let me begin by setting the context for the quarter. At our strategy update in May, we
outlined our ambition to move Route Mobile up the value chain from a messaging provider to a
full stack AI-enabled customer engagement platform, while continuing to strengthen our
operator business. Six months into this journey, we are beginning to see this strategy taking
shape in what our customers are buying in the capabilities we've added and in how we are
working with the wider Proximus Group.
When we spoke in July, we explained that the dip in gross margin was driven by the loss of
traffic from a few large high-margin customers. We also indicated that we expected to recover
from this. Now this quarter, we made progress on that front. Gross margin recovered to 22.4%
in quarter 2 from 20.9% in quarter 1. Also revenue on a Y-o-Y basis grew by 5.4%. Our focus
this quarter was not simply in adding volume, but also on improving the quality and mix of our
revenue and that distinction is very important.
Our portfolio of new products, including RCS, WhatsApp and other IP messaging solutions grew
more than 30% on a year-on-year basis and now contribute to over a tenth of our revenue. This
is the shift in revenue mix we committed to at our strategy update in May. And we are now
seeing it reflected clearly in our numbers. Q2 was also our first quarter with Heltar as part of
Route Mobile.

As you're aware, Heltar as our AI native no-code engagement layer to our existing channels. We
are already taking these capabilities to our enterprise customer base through the Route Mobile
and Proximus sales teams. This strengthens our move up the value chain from messaging
towards full stack customer engagement platform.
Now alongside our enterprise team -- the enterprise business, we are also building the operator
business. Our AI-driven Firewall Solutions are now deployed at 12 operators, and we see a
healthy pipeline of new opportunities. These solutions offer the potential for high-margin,
recurring revenues.
Together with network API, which we are developing with the Proximus Global ecosystem, they
provide an additional growth opportunity alongside enterprise messaging. Our association with
Global Telecom Group gives us an important advantage as we develop these capabilities and
take them to the market.
We've also strengthened our leadership and presence in key markets. In Latin America, Marko
has joined us as CEO of Masiv, our Colombian subsidiary to lead the next phase of growth
across the region. And in India, our participation at Global Fintech Fest helped deepen our
engagement with financial service leaders and ecosystem partners. BFSI continues to be our
largest vertical, making this as an important market for us.
Looking ahead to the second quarter -- second half of the year, sorry, our priorities are clear.
First, we will focus on converting our pipeline, particularly in high-margin opportunities across
firewall solution and new products. Second, we will scale Heltar across markets, leveraging the
broader Route Mobile and Proximus Global sales ecosystem.
And third, we will maintain a large focus on cost discipline. Our priority remains execution,
improving the quality of revenue, building high-value capabilities and delivering sustainable
long-term value for our stakeholders.
With that, let me hand over to Vinay, who will take you through the operational and strategic
highlights of the quarter in greater detail. Over to you, Vinay.
Vinay Binyala: Thank you, Tushar. Good evening, everyone. I hope you're all doing well. As Tushar mentioned,
we uploaded our quarterly earnings presentation earlier, and I hope you had a chance to review
it. Let me structure my comments in four parts. First, the shape of our revenue growth this
quarter; second, gross margin and how the specific items we discussed in Q1 have played out.
Third, a few key business metrics; and finally, the key business developments of the quarter.
Starting with revenue. In Q2 FY27, revenue from operations was INR.1,180 crores, up 5.4%
year-on-year and 2.4% quarter-on-quarter. For the first half of FY27, revenue grew 7.4% year-
on-year to INR.2,331 crores. We processed 47.6 billion billable transactions during the quarter
and 93.4 billion in the first half, approximately 11% more than in the first half of last year. I
would again highlight the quality of this growth.

Our new products portfolio comprising RCS, WhatsApp and other IP-based messaging solutions
grew 36.7% year-on-year and 35.8% quarter-on-quarter to INR.128 crores in Q2. It now
contributes more than 10% of our revenue compared with approximately 8% a year ago and
continues to grow meaningfully faster than the company as a whole.
We are seeing this growth across use cases such as conversational commerce, customer care and
banking journeys, as well as in RCS, supported by the expansion of our direct operator coverage.
ILD business continues to face growth challenges, and we remain focused on managing it for
absolute gross profit rather than volume.
Second, on gross profit. Last quarter, we explained that our gross profit margin of 20.9% wa
