I now hand over the conference to Mr. Saurabh Dwivedi. Thank you and
over to you, Sir.
Sandeep Kalra: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening to everyone. This is
Sandeep Kalra joining from Munich along with my colleagues, Saurabh
and Vinit, and we are here to share with you an exciting news about a
potential acquisition that we have announced and which is a combination
of Persistent and Nagarro to form an AI-led digital engineering
powerhouse.
Before I start, I'll hand over to Anand for his initial comments.
Anand Deshpande: Yes. Thank you, Sandeep. Welcome to all of you for being here on a
Sunday morning. We are very excited to announce a major step in the life
of Persistent, a company we started about 36 years back, and we are very
delighted to announce this great partnership with Nagarro. As you will
observe and look at the rest of the slides today and know about Nagarro,
it seems like this partnership was made in heaven. We are so aligned in
terms of our thinking, in terms of how we look at customers, our
employees, our culture and our engineering DNA that we couldn't have
chosen a better partner in this journey as we move ahead.
This partnership would be very valuable to all our customers who will see
a scaled partner who is able to deliver globally across in various areas of
interest, especially AI and the new technologies that are coming up. All
the employees should see a very good advantage of having a similar
company with scale across the world and the ability to work together as
an engineering team at scale. The partners should see also a similar
benefit. I'm very delighted to say that the shareholders also should see
Page 2 of 28

benefit in this arrangement and the agreement that we have for the
group. All the Nagarro shareholders will see an immediate return on their
share price. And also, I believe that as we build a scalable and a scaled
company over the next few years, Persistent shareholders will also see
long-term benefits of being invested in a partner who is at scale, up with
new technologies and has global presence and customers across the
world.
I must complete the fact that we have also found similar alignment in
terms of our commitment to environment, society and some of the
community work that we do at Persistent and we have seen similar
trends with Nagarro. So, we're looking forward to being a very, sort of,
globally leading group which would be useful and beneficial to all
stakeholders.
I'll stop here and I think let's get to the point and if there are questions
we'll take more.
Sandeep Kalra: Thank you, Anand. And as you would have also noticed, we had another
announcement that we did over the weekend. This is regarding a
strategic, long-term agreement that we have signed with an existing
global technology leader headquartered in the US, an existing big
customer for us. So, let me first start with that announcement and the
implication for us and then I'll dig deeper into the Nagarro transaction
that we have announced.
So, from this deal perspective, this is a net new deal which will add
roughly about $125 million plus on an annual basis and overall for the
period of the contract it will be roughly about $650 million plus over 6.5
years. This is a true testimony to the relationship and to what we have
delivered for this customer over the years. It talks about our engineering
prowess, the deep domain expertise and the belief that using AI we
would be able to deliver even better in the years to come. This, in our
investors mind, should cement the growth that we have seen in
Persistent for the last several years and should continue our 24 quarter
streak of growth for times to come.
With this, I will move on to the other announcement that we have which
is in line with our stated M&A strategy. You would have heard us whether
it is me, Vinit, Anand, Saurabh or others talk about our M&A strategy
clearly stating if we were to do a scaled acquisition that would be aimed
at expanding our footprint in Europe. That has been an ambition for us
for times, in the last several years, and today is an exciting part of the

journey where we have sincerely found a partner which is very, very
complimentary to us. This is not a consolidation play. This is an expansion
play for us bringing together, as Anand rightly pointed out, people,
capabilities, markets which are all complimentary to us and very much
aligned to the direction in which we want to take our company and make
a company to last for many, many decades to come.
Now, in terms of the combination, what does this combination mean for
us? We are calling it the Persistent-Nagarro group. The two companies
have very strong brand name in respective markets. Bringing the group
together, we will be 46,000+ team members globally spread across 40+
countries. It will be a 2.9 billion dollar+ powerhouse focused on forward-
looking technologies and will also have an addition of complimentary
verticals, capabilities, provide career path to our joint employees and the
transaction, as you will hear later in this presentation, is very accretive to
both the shareholders, the existing shareholders of the Nagarro group
and the existing shareholders of Persistent. We will talk about how we
intend to create disproportionate value for our shareholders in line with
what we have done in the past.
Now, just to go over the strategic priorities
