In our opinion and to the best of our information andaccording to the explanations given to us, the aforesaidfinancial statements give the information required by theCompanies Act, 2013 (“Act”) in the manner so required andgive a true and fair view in conformity with the accountingprinciples generally accepted in India, of the state of affairsof the Company as at 31 March 2025, and its profit andother comprehensive loss, changes in equity and its cashflows for the year ended on that date.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standardson Auditing (SAs) specified under Section 143(10) ofthe Act. Our responsibilities under those SAs are furtherdescribed in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Auditof the Financial Statements section of our report. We areindependent of the Company in accordance with the Codeof Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountantsof India together with the ethical requirements that arerelevant to our audit of the financial statements under theprovisions of the Act and the Rules thereunder, and wehave fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordancewith these requirements and the Code of Ethics. Webelieve that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficientand appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on thefinancial statements.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professionaljudgment, were of most significance in our audit of thefinancial statements of the current period. These matterswere addressed in the context of our audit of the financialstatements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon,and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the other information. The other informationcomprises the information included in the annual report,but does not include the financial statements and auditor'sreport thereon. The annual report is expected to be madeavailable to us after the date of this auditor's report.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not coverthe other information and we will not express any form ofassurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information identifiedabove when it becomes available and, in doing so, considerwhether the other information is materially inconsistentwith the financial statements or our knowledge obtained inthe audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
When we read the annual report, if we conclude that thereis a material misstatement therein, we are required tocommunicate the matter to those charged with governanceand take necessary actions, as applicable under the relevantlaws and regulations.
The Company's Management and Board of Directors areresponsible for the matters stated in Section 134(5) ofthe Act with respect to the preparation of these financialstatements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs,profit/ loss and other comprehensive income, changes inequity and cash flows of the Company in accordance with theaccounting principles generally accepted in India, includingthe Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) specified underSection 133 of the Act. The respective Management andBoard of Directors of the Company / Board of Trustees ofthe ESOP trust are responsible for maintenance of adequateaccounting records in accordance with the provisions ofthe Act for safeguarding of the assets of the Company /ESOP trust and for preventing and detecting frauds andother irregularities; selection and application of appropriateaccounting policies; making judgments and estimates thatare reasonable and prudent; and design, implementationand maintenance of adequate internal financial controls,that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracyand completeness of the accounting records, relevant to thepreparation and presentation of the financial statementsthat give a true and fair view and are free from materialmisstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the respectiveManagement and Board of Directors / Board of Trusteesare responsible for assessing the ability of the Company /ESOP trust to continue as a going concern, disclosing, asapplicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unless the respectiveBoard of Directors/Board of Trustees either intends toliquidate the Company / ESOP trust or to cease operations,or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors / Board of Trustees areresponsible for overseeing the financial reporting processof the Company / ESOP trust.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free frommaterial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but isnot a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordancewith SAs will always detect a material misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in theaggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influencethe economic decisions of users taken on the basis of thesefinancial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professional skepticismthroughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement ofthe financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,design and perform audit procedures responsive to thoserisks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient andappropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The riskof not detecting a material misstatement resulting fromfraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraudmay involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant tothe audit in order to design audit procedures that areappropriate in the circumstances. Under Section 143(3)
(i) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing ouropinion on whether the company has adequate internalfinancial controls with reference to financial statementsin place and the operating effectiveness of such controls.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policiesused and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by the Management andBoard of Directors.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Managementand Board of Directors use of the going concern basis ofaccounting in preparation of financial statements and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materialuncertainty exists related to events or conditions thatmay cast significant doubt on the Company's abilityto continue as a going concern. If we conclude that amaterial uncertainty exists, we are required to drawattention in our auditor's report to the related disclosuresin the financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor's report. However, future events orconditions may cause the Company to cease to continueas a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contentof the financial statements, including the disclosures,and whether the financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a manner thatachieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governanceregarding, among other matters, the planned scope andtiming of the audit and significant audit findings, includingany significant deficiencies in internal control that weidentify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with astatement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that mayreasonably be thought to bear on our independence, andwhere applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged withgovernance, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of thecurrent period and are therefore the key audit matters. Wedescribe these matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matter orwhen, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine thata matter should not be communicated in our report becausethe adverse consequences of doing so would reasonablybe expected to outweigh the public interest benefits ofsuch communication.
