“But in the past 18 months, thankfully, and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed, because of our own engagements with large systems integrators and large projects that we have been part with in India, with the internal accruals it tells we have kind of shored up, If not the money muscle, at least the mental confidence that in the immediate and the short term we will be able to kind of do it on our own.”

On some of the things
We have improved our cash flows, of course, in the balance sheet it will be looking a little alarming as most of our revenues tend to come from the last quarter, which going forward will be modulated, we are changing our engagement model and going about looking at it from an annuity-based revenue so that the predictability increases. You will see that trend in the future. More than me I would like to hear your opinions, your questions, please be open. And we would be willing to answer everything, whatever you would have to say. Thank you very much. Anisha, would you like to add anything?
Anisha Shastri
Sure. Good afternoon, everybody. Thank you so much for joining this call. My voice may be slightly muffled behind the mask but let me assure you spirits are extremely high. Over the last two years, there were some very strategic decisions that we wanted to take as an organization. Three fundamental pillars, the first thing was verticals. We were very, very heavily dependent on telco two years back, and the telco industry as such was seeing a lot of dynamism in it. And so, we decided that we wanted to, and given the fact that all our products are vertical agnostic, there was no reason why we were so dependent on just one industry. So, over the last few years, we have made a conscious effort to diversify that. And you are seeing that pay off right now in the way of we have acquired three large private banks in the country, a lot of insurance players. We have also forayed into utilities this time, and government for the first time. So, that's one on the vertical side. Second was the busin

In fact, both Anisha and Shastri have more or less echoed our views and we stay committed to the path that we always have stated we have been taking. And I think for us, while we believe that the company was always in the right direction. I think from a results and a metric perspective, I hope that you as our larger partners and stakeholders into our business, also kind of appreciate and acknowledge that, yes, probably this marks the turnaround from your individual perspectives. And what we look forward from you in future is a lot more support and a lot more empathy. And what we can promise is we will stay true to the course and see that your company does as well for you as it is destined to. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. The first question is from the line of Sudhir Bheda from Lifetime Consultancy. Please go ahead. Congratulation for your good results. I have two questions. See, when Anisha ji is saying and you have written
C. K. Shastri
one of our larger telcos, today we are onboarding about 1.3 million customers a day, which means that if you are onboarding, if it stops for even half an hour, your revenues get impacted. Similarly, if your bills don't go and the payments don't happen, then the business gets impacted. And if you have your digital engagement, that is your transactional, today's world of digital every step of a purchase or action with any customer takes you informed digitally through mobile, through SMS, through email, through the website, omni-channel thing, through WhatsApp. Because of our working capital side and high receivables, our cash flow from operations is very poor, so if you can throw some light and what steps we are taking to improve that. Yes. See, some of our clients themselves, large clients, we have agreements of 120 days and so on and so forth. And all of them are blue chip companies, more than AAA rated companies. Whereas, we are also looking at doing the business counting, factoring t

Sir, it can only improve, it can only get better. And we are working towards that. We are also as ambitious as you all are. I would not like to give any guidance, but definitely it will be much better than what this year you have seen as.
