Riddhesh Kadam: Hello, and good morning to everyone. On behalf of Arihant Capital Markets, I thank you all for
joining into the Q1 FY27 earnings conference call of Digitide Solutions Limited. Today from
the management, we have Mr. Sameer Ahluwalia, CEO and Executive Director; Mr. Suraj
Prasad, CFO; Mr. Rajesh Lachhani, Head, Investor Relations and M&A.
So, without any further delay, I'll hand over the call to management for their opening remarks.
Over to you, sir.
Sameer Ahluwalia: Thank you. Good morning, everyone, and a warm welcome to all of you joining us on Digitide’s
earnings call today. Since this is my first earnings call as a Group CEO and ED, let me briefly
introduce myself and share the perspective I bring to Digitide before discussing our Q1
performance and the outlook.
A bit about me. I've spent over two decades building, scaling, and reorganizing businesses across
technology, operations, and consulting. My career spans roles across global firms, including
running a large banking and capital market business for a leading Indian technology services
company, leading post-acquisition integration and global expansion at a multinational consulting
firm, and managing a business unit contributing over half of a listed company's revenue.
And most recently, serving as a Managing Director and Senior Partner at a US-headquartered
consulting firm focused on private equity and restructuring mandates. I also had the privilege of
starting my career in the GE ecosystem, which shaped many of my core leadership principles.
So, what can you expect from me are some of the things I'm going to spend my time as we kind
of move forward.
First, deep domain expertise in outsourcing and overall professional services as a topic. This is
the industry where I have built my career. Second, a private equity mindset focused on
disciplined execution, clear accountability, and measurable performance outcomes across the
entire organization. Third, a strong on-the-ground presence in India because I am based in India,
close to our delivery engine, our talent base, and our operating realities.
Fourth, I have a huge appreciation on the impact of AI and emerging technologies and how they
are changing the client expectations and the service delivery models that we have to offer. And
the last point, which is the belief that we are driving through the entire organization, that
sustainable value creation comes not from growth alone, but from pursuing the right kind of
growth.

Now, over the past several weeks, I have spent my time doing one thing above all, which is
listening. I met our clients, I met our teams across locations, my management group, our Board,
our investors, and our partners. And after understanding the business, I leave that process with
a very clear conviction.
We at Digitide are not short on capability. The talent that we have is real. The clients that we
service are real. And more importantly, the opportunity that we have ahead of us is very, very
real. The question is not whether we have the assets to succeed. The question is, are we solving
and bringing together greater clarity, more discipline, and clear accountability to various
stakeholders that are part of our overall ecosystem?
Before I talk about the future, let me briefly address the quarter as well. Q1 was clearly below
our expectations. While revenue at INR775 crores grew 5.3% year-on-year, the sequential
performance was impacted. Reported EBITDA for the quarter was INR76.9 crores, translating
to an EBITDA margin of 9.9%. And finally, we turned profitable after two quarters. Suraj will
talk through the financial performance in detail later.
One of the most important takeaway from the quarter is not the result itself; it is the decisions
behind it. As I reviewed the business with my management team, it became clear that certain
accounts and opportunities were consuming disproportionate management attention and
generating inadequate returns.
We, therefore, chose to rationalize parts of our portfolio, and we didn't shy away from walking
away from opportunities that did not meet our standards for profitability and long-term value
creation. These actions have already started to happen, and they will continue through the year.
More to come as we meet you again.
At the same time, the industry that we are in is experiencing additional pressure from labor code-
related changes and minimum wage revisions across several Indian states, impacting both
margins and bookings in the quarter, and we'll speak more on that as well. But I want to be clear:
the decisions that we have taken were not to protect the current quarter or the next one.
They were taken to improve the next several years, and they point to a deliberate choice about
how this company will be run going forward. We are not going to chase top line for its own sake.
We are going to chase the quality of our revenue and the quality of our earnings and use that as
the input to unlock value for all Digitide stakeholders.
I also want to frame the change that we are bringing because I do not want it to be misunderstood.
This is a forward-looking execution roadmap, and the actions behind it have already started.
These are basically four moves that we are making. First, Get Unified. We are moving into a
new operating model where interlock, a shared agenda, and performance markers become the
most important units of currency. We are going back to first principles. We have simplified our
operating model into four parts.
One, our business units. They own the P&L of the account, they own the service delivery
