LOOKING AHEAD
"THE FUTURE IS IN INDIA"
While the global economy is still uncertain, India has emerged as the world's fastest
growing major economy. Electronics manufacturing has played a major role and will continue
to do so. Global trends of supply chain diversification and de-risking, coupled with
geopolitical tensions and fluctuating tariffs, are creating new business opportunities.
The manufacturing industry is experiencing robust growth due to growing capacity
utilization, the Production Linked Incentive ("PLI") Scheme and the "Make
in India" initiatives. The growth is further supported by favorable policies,
incentives and global firms diversifying supply chains to leverage India's strengths, a
large domestic market, skilled labour and quality design capabilities. The schemes
launched by the Government of India have been the driving force behind India's
transformation into a global manufacturing hub.
India is on track to become the third-largest economy globally, driven primarily by
favorable policies, technology and significant investments in infrastructure.
With a solid business model and well-charted strategy, we are poised to seize these
opportunities, driving growth and contributing to the nation's economic development. We
are ready to enter the future tech-driven world, equipped with one of the most modern
infrastructure and technology. As we are aspiring for a bigger tomorrow, we will continue
push and expand our boundaries and create new opportunities in the future.
We continue to focus on optimizing our operations and expanding our market reach,
ensuring a solid foundation for future growth. Backed by the trust and support of our
clients and stakeholders, we remain determined to build for tomorrow and solidify our
foothold as a key player in overall ecosystem of the electronic industry.

At the end, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Board Members,
employees, shareholders, customers and other stakeholders for the support and continued
faith in the Company. I will look forward to your support, as always, to take the Company
to even greater heights.
