Sir, in continuation to Garima’s question, I just wanted to understand this increase in net debt better. So, in H1 the debt has increased by Rs. 800 crores to Rs. 900 crores. From the cash flow statement, we have invested about Rs. 500 crores, half of which is going to CAPEX, and rest in subsidiaries, additional stakes actually. Working capital is actually reduced by about Rs. 75-odd crores. So, there is an OPEX funding of about Rs. 400-odd crores in H1. So, I just want to check which are the business segments as of now where we have to support operationally the business for them?
And sir, specific to TCNS, I guess it has seen healthy growth of about 13% odd, right, in Q2. I guess Q3 is seasonally heavy quarter for this particular segment , so any thoughts on initial traction for the festive season? And if you could just update on the margin profile of the business as of now.
