Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question-and-answer session. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. Your first question comes from the line of Sai Jitendra, an Individual Investor. Please go ahead.

Good evening. Yes, hi, sir. Good evening. Yes, basically, I had a few questions here. It is regarding one of the acquisitions that we had made, that is Kumori. May I know what the revenue impact is with that acquisition? And the second one is, we had an, I think, in AGM, we had an 50 million FCC proceedings plan, right? But what was the further process you have been taking to get that proceeds?

Okay. Thank you, Jitendra. So, let me answer the Kumori one first. Kumori, this quarter, we had, see, the acquisition for Kumori was more for capability and not revenue. So, we wanted to get into the space of ServiceNow. So, when Kellton started on its own in the ServiceNow space, you know, we had some certifications, we had some capability, but when the customers were going and looking about us on the ServiceNow portal, they were not seeing much activity, no case studies, nothing. So, what we felt was, in order to jumpstart our offerings to our customers or reach to the customers or marketing capability, felt need to go buy a company that gives us the capability. So, with the acquisition of ServiceNow, with Kumori, now have the certifications that are required, the case studies that, you know, they have, have now become Kellton's case studies. So, with that, right, we can market ourselves to the customer saying that, hey, we have this many certified people and we have so many case studies that we have done successfully. Now the customers are having confidence with us, people are having confidence with us, and we are getting client wins because of that. Just to ask a question on the revenue for Kumori, the last quarter, this quarter's revenue or the last quarter's revenue was about 4 crores. It's not much. That's the reason why I said we acquired that company more for capability and not for revenue. Now, answering your question of the FCCB round, yes, we did the first round. The second round is delayed because of the global headwinds that we are facing, you know, you understand all the global headwinds that are going on, and also today, you know, IT industry is not, or IT companies are not seeing a good limelight. So, we are just waiting and watching. It is going to happen. It's just a matter of time, but, you know, it got delayed because of the global headwinds more than anything else. Thank you, Jitender. Sagar, next question.

Sure. Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Krishnansh, an Individual Investor. Please go ahead.

Hi, sir. Good evening. Could you please throw some light on the account receivable balances as, you know, it has been increasing year after year, and it is quite unusual for an IT company to, as I, in my limited knowledge, the account receivables don't pile up in the IT space.

So, just to give you a perspective there, Krishnansh, just to give you a perspective, we have many large customers, right? I don't want to name names. These are Fortune 100 companies in the US where our clock begins after 90 days. That means after we raise the invoice, we collect it after 90 days. We have companies like that in the Fortune 100. We are a small company. We are not like the large companies that have the muscle power to negotiate. For us, it's like, take it or leave it. That has been the case traditionally, and it has been there. So, to answer your question on the receivables, on the absolute numbers and the percentagewise, we are almost the same. We have not grown. But on the absolute numbers, because our revenue is growing, the numbers are also increasing because of that. So, if you look at our DSO days, we are at 100 plus days where we are. In addition to that, we also have customers in India, that is the government customers, the LICs, the HRMs of the world, where the lead cycle of getting invoices cleared is long. So, those are the reasons why our receivables are high. So, that has been the case traditionally, and it's continuing on. And that's not a reflection of our inability. It's just that we don't have the muscle power to negotiate better.

So, contextually asking, the account receivables are getting converted. They are not being provisioned, but it's taking a long time.

That is correct. If you can see, we have not written off too much. We have written off probably a few crores, but we are talking about a handful of crores over a period of one year or so. But beyond that, we have not. So, these are uncollectible, sometimes disputes we write off. I don't have the exact number of 2026, but I will get the number and answer while we are going on, on what we wrote off last year, just to give you an idea of how low the number is.

Sure. Thank you.

Thank you. The next question comes from the line of G Vishwanarayana, an Individual Investor. Please go ahead.

Sir, what is the next two quarters, what is your guidance you are giving, sir?

So, at this point, you know what's going on in the headwinds that we are facing, right?

. Yes, sir.

Unfortunately, right now, we thought that the war is going to end and it has restarted. So, a lot of customers for us, we have what we call delayed starts. So, people are signing contracts and are delaying the start because the companies themselves are worried about their cashflow. This is what we are talking about in the US. We also have certain companies where we get to a state of negotiations done, the contract needs to be executed, they're pushing it. Okay, we will do it next month kind of stuff because they're worried about the cash flow of their own company. So, I don't want to give guidance because at this point, right, whatever guidance I might give may not be, may have an impact on what is happening to the global environment that we are facing at this point. So, we will be doing, if you look at from a total year point of view, we will be at par or better than what we did last year from the growth perspective.

Okay, sir.

Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Harsh, an Individual Investor. Please go ahead.

My question is regarding the revenue growth that has been relatively moderate over the quarter. So, what gives you confidence in altering growth during the financial year 2027?

Okay. So, it's twofold like I was talking to Vishnath, right? We have, pipeline there. It's just a matter of getting them executed and started, right, where I said the delay starts that they're happening. So, there is demand out there. It's just people are not, people who have any customers are not getting us to let us start or not signing on the contract so we can start. So, that's one thing that is good news for us. The second thing is AI-led, right? A lot of AI-led inquiries are coming in. Yes, some of them are smaller, AI-related projects, pure AI-related projects are small, but whatever we are doing from a translation perspective, yes, there is a component of AI in every project that we are doing now, unlike before. Now, every project has some AI twist to it. There are certain things that we have to do there. So, gives me confidence that, you know, once all the chaos that is happening around the world settles down a bit, we would be in a much better shape. We would be doing, that's the reason why I confidently said to Vishnath that we would like to meet and not beat what we did last year. So, that is my answer to this.

Okay.

Next question, please.

Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Shruti. Please go ahead.

Yes, good evening, sir. Yes, I just want you to understand that currently many IT companies have announced AI platforms. What differentiates Kellton's AI strategy and how will it generate sustainable revenue?

Okay. Yes, I think Karanjit has talked a little bit about Phoenix.ai and Structi.ai. We also have our own internal KAI platform. KAI platform, what it does is, you know, it improves the efficiencies of delivery. Examples, you know, we have seen 30%, you know, efficiencies coming in in certain areas. Not all of them, but, you know, certain examples are like, you know, testing-related ones, you know, the business development side, also the BA side of it, analysis side of it. All of that is getting 30% of the efficiencies we are getting using our platform, internal platform. Now, coming to the external customers, right, we see that the Phoenix.ai for the world, even the KAI of the world, as well as the Structi.ai, you know, we will see more and more wins. Karanjit explained to one customer where it's 4 million, the lines of code. We have now launched a campaign that would help acquire more customers that, you know, would potentially need the similar kind of services because there are many companies out there that have legacy code and they have legacy platforms that they're shying away from doing it for two reasons. One is the cost factor. The second is they're worried about what happens to their operations, right? We have successfully deployed our Phoenix.ai, and like Karanjit said, right, it's going to be a 50% savings on what some of the customers or competitors are charging. So that will give us, you know, more revenue from that side. Thank you, Shubham. Next question, please.

Thank you. Your next question comes from Shubham, an individual investor. Please go ahead.

Sir, my question is, like, continuous to the question that has already been asked and you have answered with respect to the guidance. So, if you cannot provide the guidance with respect to the next one year, can you give some guidance for the next two to three years or for a longer run?

See, this, the reason why we are shying from that is, like I said, we will meet and or beat what we achieved last year, what we did up to the, I am talking about financial year 26, right? What is going to be the next two years projections, you know, at this point, right? There's no, nobody can give that guidance at this point because of the changes that are happening around world. I am not talking about just, you know, geographically, geopolitically, I am talking about even the AI impact that is out there. At this point, right, if somebody gives you a guidance saying that, you know, three years, this is the number, you know, that's going to be tough to ask at this point. People are, all the big companies are also giving one-year guidelines. That's why I said we will meet or beat what we did achieve, the revenue growth that we achieved last year.

Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Neha, an Individual Investor, please go ahead.

Good evening, everyone. This is Neha, an individual investor.

Yes. First of all, I want to congratulate you on the strategic joint venture with Action Energy. This appears to be an important step in strengthening content presence in the GCC region. And in this regard, my question is, beyond the immediate revenue opportunity, and how does this JV fit into Kellton's long-term strategy and regarding this differentiated IP-led businesses, and where do you see this partnership and its contribution to Kellton over the next three to five years range?

I guess there was a press release we gave on the JV side of it, the CEO of Action Energy has already stated that our target is to achieve 5% of the billion market, right, that is out there in this space, especially that transformation of the oil field and the digital oil field platform. So, that is the number that is what we believe we can achieve in the next three years. Now, to answer your question on the strategic reason why we did it with Action Energy and why GCC, we have been practical when it comes to entering the GCC market. Specifically, right, we have more on the UAE side than really anything else. So, what we did is, I think Karanjit also mentioned a few customer wins that we achieved. There are a few long-term customers that we had, but from a strategy point of view, that GCC market is unknown to us. So, we felt that a partnership with a company like Action Energy who has the local knowledge, the local relationships, and local delivery capabilities would help grow that market. So, beyond the digital oil field 5% of billion dollars that we talked about, we are also working with Action Energy in providing transformation solutions and the AI-led transformation solutions to other companies there and not just targeting only the oil field side of it. So, we believe that, right, the next three years is going to be important for us in exploiting this and penetrating the GCC, not beyond UAE that we currently have. And with Action Energy, Kuwait is where we are starting the journey, and later on, we will expand to other GCC countries. So, from a long-term perspective, we see a lot of prospects in the GCC space, and the answer to your question is, immediately, we see that the 5% of the billion dollar is what we see, but beyond that, there's a big scope. At this point, I don't have a pipeline built. So, once the pipeline is built, I will be able to answer the question better. Thank you, Neha. Next question, please.

Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Krishnansh., an Individual Investor. Please go ahead.

Hi sir. Krishnansh again. As you previously mentioned, the uncertainty with regards to the guidance and the future performance, there's a lot of revenue.

Yes, sorry to interrupt, Krishnansh. We had lost your audio in between. May I request you to repeat your question once again?

Hi, sir. As you previously mentioned, the uncertainty with regards to the guidance and revenue performance, the future performance, can we expect a volatility in revenue as well, or we would be maintaining the current levels of revenue that is above 300, 350 crores of revenue a quarter?

We have order books for nine months. So, there is a predictable revenue for the next nine months. It is the growth where I am able to give guidance. Would it be like 10% to 15%, 20%? Those are the guidance that I cannot give at this point other than to tell you that, yes, we will meet and beat what we grew last year, given the pipeline that we are seeing and the backlog that we have. Hope I answered your question there, Krishna.

We have a question from the line of Abhishek, an Individual Investor. Please go ahead.

Hi, sir. Good evening. Sir, my question is what are the new innovations in the pipeline for the next three to five-year revenue targets of the company?

See, AI is going to be now embedded into pretty much anything and everything that we are seeing out there. So, AI-led growth is going to be there. One of the things that we are good at, at this point, is taking AI to the core. Now, most of the companies that we are seeing are just slapping on AI as an add-on. For us, AI is not that. We take it to the core. That is one. We are also looking at enterprise modernization that is happening. Earlier, it used to be a digital transformation of the enterprises. What we are seeing now is beyond that. Right now, we are seeing AI-led modernization happening. We also see a lot of partnership-led growth, which is why we invested heavily into ServiceNow, Microsoft, Snowflakes. We are seeing that growth that is going to be there. Those are the ones. Existing customers, we are reaching out. The previous customers that we have serviced, we are reaching out with new capabilities that we have done, new solution offerings that we have, the product offerings, the platform offerings that we have that we did not have. That is going to ease a lot. At the same time, AI is changing how we do business. It is like every quarter, there is a change. We have to transform ourselves and be current. Those are the challenges that are there, but also, that gives an opportunity when you have those kinds of challenges. We have always been ahead of the curve. We have what we call the tip of the spear kind of a strategy, where we are the cutting-edge solution offerings. believe we are in a very good place when it comes to the next wave of whatever would be the disruptions are coming in or the technical capabilities and or technical challenges that are coming out there. We would be ahead of that, and we believe that we will be succeeding much more given the posture that we have, given the capability that we have. I am going to stop there.

Thank you. As there are no further questions from the participants, I now hand the conference call over to Mr. Niranjan Chintam, sir, for closing comments.
