• Gained an understanding of the entity’s
when control over the products is transferredto the customer. There is an inherent risk thatrevenue may be recognised at a time that doesnot align with the actual transfer of control—particularly for sales transactions executedaround the end of the reporting period.
We have identified revenue recognition as akey audit matter in light of the importanceplaced on revenue by both the Company andits stakeholders as a performance metric.

The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the other information. The otherinformation comprises the information included in the annual report, but does not include the financialstatements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express anyform of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other informationand, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financialstatements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If,based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this otherinformation, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
The Company’s management and Board of Directors are responsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5)of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) with respect to the preparation of these financial statementsthat give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance including other comprehensiveincome, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the accounting principlesgenerally accepted in India, including the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder. This responsibility also includes maintenanceof adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets ofthe Company and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application ofappropriate accounting policies; making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; anddesign, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial controls, that were operatingeffectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view and are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability tocontinue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the goingconcern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to ceaseoperations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those Board of Directors are also responsible foroverseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arefree from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that anaudit conducted in accordance with SAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based onour audit.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due tofraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain auditevidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of notdetecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error,as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the overrideof internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design auditprocedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)(i) of the Act, we arealso responsible for expressing our opinion on whether the company has adequate internal financialcontrols with reference to financial statements in place and the operating effectiveness of suchcontrols.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’sreport to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date ofour auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions andevents in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
