"On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present
eMudhra's Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for the Financial Year
2022-23"
Mr. V Srinivasan
Executive Chairman, eMudhra
The past year has been a very important year in eMudhra's journey
towards growth, & innovation in the Identity and Digital Trust industry. We have
evolved from being a small player in the Digital signature Industry to a public listed
organization renowned for providing end-to-end solutions and services across Trust
Services, Signing Solutions, and Digital Identity. The successful IPO highlights the
growing importance of our offerings to a rapidly evolving technology environment that
continues to power the future.
As organizations are becoming more aware and building preventive
measures around management of vulnerabilities, computing capacities are constantly being
enhanced, and the consumer demand for digitization that is 'easy to use' is on the rise,
eMudhra's portfolios are more relevant than ever in helping organizations survive and
scale in this new business environment. In fact, 'Zero-trust' principles are becoming
commonplace where organizations work on a 'no trust by default' basis. At the core of
zero-trust principles lie the necessity to establish trusted digital identities,
authenticate and manage identities and access, and the need for establishing
accountability for legally binding actions taken by employees; all of which are areas
where we are formidably well positioned.
On our solution portfolio front, over the course of the year, we have
been proactively working towards readying our PKI portfolio to enable resistance in the
Post Quantum Cryptographic world. We have simplified our Indian Digital Signature
platform. Through eMudhra One, we have allowed for a user-friendly co-existence of
personal and professional identities, digital signatures, and eSign services all in a
single app and web interface. We recently launched our Certificate Lifecycle Management
platform which already boasts some noteworthy clients.
On the eSignature Workflow side of things, emSigner continues to grow
in more markets, with more marquee clients, and more functionalities as we evolve. From
powering pharmaceutical use cases, to facilitating retail PoS, 'Buy Now Pay Later'
schemes, emSigner has grown in maturity and relevance across industries. 'emSigner for
Banks' is also further evolving as we continue to acquire leading Banks in the
International markets. eMudhra is also now the only entity to support all forms of eSign
in India. This, paired with our eStamping portfolio and easy integration and technical
adoption methodologies give us tremendous competitive edge to compete locally and
internationally.
From a Business Development perspective, our business in India has
reasonably grown. In BFSI, we see traction across our signing solution portfolio. Our
government reach has further deepened with some sizeable engagements both, directly, and
through key partners with long term relationships built on trust.
Our positioning as a dominant player in the Digital Signature market
continues to remain in-tact, with strong support and operations capabilities and easy and
convenient channels and platforms on mobile and web. Our end-to-end eSign, eStamping, and
Workflow platform, paired with our aggressive sales approach positions us well in
capturing the digital wave in the BFSI sector in India.
International markets have seen a robust growth of 141% this year. We
received our eCSP License to operate as a CA in Kenya. We implemented a large-scale retail
lending use case with a popular retail chain in North America. We have acquired some
marquee clients and key partners in Indonesia and continue to service more PKI use cases
in Europe. Our Middle East & Africa Business prospects continue to grow. More Banks
are interested to leverage emSigner for the enterprise-wide digitization programs, while
the prevailing banking clients are continuously working with us to entrench emSigner more
deeply in their processes across various departments.
International business now accounts for 35.8% of eMudhra's revenues
against 19.1% last year. The popularity of the brand is growing year on year across the
globe as we start to emerge as a serious industry player. Our thought leadership
activities, community & ecosystem engagement, omni-channel marketing approach, and
most importantly, the efforts put in over the past decade are bearing fruit.
The Company has achieved an overall revenue growth of 38.3%.
In summary, FY 2022-23 has been a great year for eMudhra with
tremendous learning and development at all levels of the organization. We were recognized
as a 'Great Place to Work' by the Great Place to Work Institute. The team has brought out
the best of themselves to help us grow our business and our brand. I am thankful to their
hard work, competency, and humility which has helped us get to where we are today.
I want to thank our shareholders, employees, board members and other
stakeholders for their trust in eMudhra and their continued support.
Yours Sincerely, |
V. Srinivasan |
