Looking ahead, management noted several major forward-looking points:

1. The company aims to double its revenue over the next five years under the Lakshya strategy, which continues to evolve with a focus on business creativity and AI-centric operations.
2. IIn FY2027, management anticipates an acceleration in AI adoption and resultant spending, which could positively impact growth.
3. The launch of the "New Horizons" program will guide strategy execution across four tracks: growth, competencies and capabilities, operational efficiency, and AI scaling.
4. Management plans to consolidate reporting into four segments: BFSI, Technology/Media/Communication, Production, and Consumer.

They remain optimistic about growth trajectories across various sectors and noted significant progress in partnerships and AI capabilities. The indication is that challenging quarters could occur due to macroeconomic factors, but the overall sentiment remains distinctly favorable for the upcoming fiscal year.

1. Question: "If you were to break down your portfolio by the kind of enterprise that we are catering to, how are they comfortable signing longer term contracts today, given this pace of change? Is there any change in the way contracts are being structured today to give them more comfort?"

   Answer: We still sign long-term contracts for core IT services, typically three to five years. Modernization contracts remain project-based and discretionary. For AI adoption, we start with project spend that can evolve into longer-term contracts. As FY2027 progresses, I expect AI adoption to grow significantly, which will influence how contracts are structured.

2. Question: "Are the deals signed in the last two to three years coming up for renewals sooner than they were signed earlier? If not, do you see that as a risk?"

   Answer: I view our contracts as long-term relationships rather than mere transactions. There are no signs indicating an early renewal trend. Renewals are generally triggered by technological upgrades or client requests for increased innovation. Overall, we haven't faced a noticeable uptick in early renegotiations.

3. Question: "Are you still confident in doing better in FY2027 versus FY2026?"

   Answer: Yes, we are confident in maintaining our growth momentum. We achieved 8.1% year-on-year growth this quarter. Although we may experience some quarterly fluctuations due to external economic factors, our overall trajectory indicates that we will continue to drive growth into FY2027.

4. Question: "How are you seeing the BFSI vertical overall from the FY2027 perspective?"

   Answer: Outside of our top BFSI account, we recorded double-digit growth. While we have seen some decline, we expect recovery in Q1, though it may not match the speed of previous declines. Overall, I see potential for strong growth in the BFSI vertical moving forward.

5. Question: "Where do we see margins going over the next year or two? Are we looking to expand margins to levels between 17% to 18%?"

   Answer: While I won't specify a number as guidance, we're committed to pursuing cost optimizations and efficiencies. Our focus will be on balanced growth through our 'New Horizons' program, targeting both margin expansion and continual growth in AI strategy execution.

6. Question: "In your five-year thought process of growing revenues, how are you thinking about the inorganic piece of it?"

   Answer: We plan to incorporate inorganic growth as part of our five-year strategy. This includes acquiring companies that enhance our capabilities, allowing us to enter new sectors faster. While I can't guarantee timelines, we will explore opportunities that align with our growth objectives.
