We conducted our audit of the standalone financial statements

under section 143(10) of the Act. Our responsibilities under those
Standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities

("ICAI") together with the ethical requirements that are relevant
to our audit of the standalone financial statements under the
provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our audit opinion on the standalone financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalone
financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2025. These
matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone

we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and
Auditor’s Report Thereon

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Management Discussion and Analysis,
Board's Report including annexures to Board's Report, Business
Responsibility and Sustainability Report, Corporate Governance
Report and Shareholder's Information, but does not include the
standalone financial statements, and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the standalone financial statements does not cover
the other information and we do not express any form of assurance
conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the standalone financial statements,
our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the standalone financial statements or our knowledge obtained
during the course of our 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 other information;
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.

Responsibility of Management and those charged with
Governance for the Standalone Financial Statements

The Company's Management and Board of Directors are responsible
for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to
the preparation of these standalone financial statements that give
a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance,
including other comprehensive income, cash flow and change in

equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS, specified
under Section 133 of the Act and other accounting principles
generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes
maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company
and for preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities;
selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
and design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal
financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the
accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, relevant
to the preparation and presentation of the standalone financial
statements that give a true and fair view and are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the standalone financial statements, Management and
Board of Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless Board of Directors either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so. The Management and Board of Directors
are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial
reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the
Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the standalone financial statements as a whole are free from
material 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 is not a guarantee that
an audit 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 these standalone
financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the
audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting 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 override of
internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant
to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(i) of
the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our opinion on
whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls
with reference to standalone financials statement in place and
the operating effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used
and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures made by the management.

• 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 or conditions 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's report to the related disclosures
in the standalone 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 of our auditor's
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the
Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the
standalone financial statements, including the disclosures,
and whether the standalone financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves
fair presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the standalone
financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes
it probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably
knowledgeable user of the standalone financial statements may
be influenced. We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative
factors in

(i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the
results of our work; and

(ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the
financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement
that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships

and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our
independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with
governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the year
ended March 31,2025 and are therefore the key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or
regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter
should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Other matters:

We did not audit the financial information of the liaison office of the
Company, situated at Bangkok, Thailand, operating there since
April 9, 2024 considered in these standalone financial statements
which reflect total assets of Rs. 3.85 lakhs as at March 31, 2025,
total revenue of Rs. Nil for the financial year ended on that date in
respect of the liaison office. The financial information of the said
liaison office in Thailand has been prepared by the management
and incorporated in these standalone financial statements.

Our opinion on the Statement in respect of above matter is
not modified.
