Key Players in the Market

Strengths of the Company

• It is one of the few players in India that provides a full stack of product and solution suites with comprehensive capabilities in designing, developing, implementing and integrating high-performance computing solutions. 
• The company is able to engage with its customers in a holistic manner as it designs, develops, and implements the entire solutions package. This has enabled them to embed themselves within the customer’s institutional framework and has also helped in customer retention and repeat business.
• The company has continuously worked on its R&D capabilities by developing its R&D team which has enabled it to improve its systems design and architecture and to expand its products and solutions suite. 
• Modification of designs and changes in the execution of the offerings requires technical skill set and expertise which is a significant entry barrier for new participants in the industry.
• The company comprise an experienced board and senior management who have a significant experience in the IT industry.

Weaknesses of the Company

• The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from its top 10 customers with whom they have not entered into a long-term contract. This exposes them to the risk of losing their established customers.
• The company earns the majority of its revenues from a select few of our HCS offerings. Loss or decline of these offerings can adversely affect the revenues of the business.
• The company’s capacity utilisation was low in fiscal years 2023, 2022, and 2021. Reduced output or inability to consistently achieve higher production could have a negative impact on installed capacity utilisation.
• In terms of our foreign currency exposure, the company does not engage in hedging transactions. Any losses resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may have a negative impact on its business, results of operations, and financial position. 
• A major portion of the company’s revenue is derived from government-related entities which award the contract through a process of tender. Failure to successfully bid for these contracts or requirement to lower the bid value could have an adverse effect on the company’s revenue
