(b) Conclusion on Unaudited Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023
With respect to the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31,
2023, based on our review conducted and procedures performed as stated in
paragraph (b) of Auditor’s Responsibilities section below and based on the
consideration of the review reports of the ESOP trust and other auditor referred to in
Other Matters section below, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to
believe that the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023,
prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in
the Indian Accounting Standards and other accounting principles generally accepted
in India, has not disclosed the information required to be disclosed in terms of
Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements)
Regulations, 2015, as amended, including the manner in which it is to be disclosed, or
that it contains any material misstatement.
Basis for Opinion on the Audited Consolidated Financial Results for the year
ended March 31, 2023
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (“SAs”) specified
under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). Our responsibilities under
those Standards are further described in paragraph (a) of Auditor’s Responsibilities section
below. We are independent of the Group and the ESOP trust, in accordance with the Code
of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (“the ICAI”) together
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the Consolidated Financial
Results for the year ended March 31, 2023 under the provisions of the Act and the Rules
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 and the audit evidence obtained by the ESOP trust auditor and other auditor in terms
of their reports referred to in Other Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our audit opinion.
This Statement, which includes the Consolidated Financial Results is the responsibility of
the Parent’s Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The
Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2023, has been compiled from
the related audited consolidated financial statements. This responsibility includes the
preparation and presentation of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter and year
ended March 31, 2023 that give a true and fair view of the consolidated net profit and
consolidated other comprehensive income and other financial information of the Group in
accordance with the recognition and measurement principles laid down in the Indian
Accounting Standards, prescribed under Section 133 of the Act, read with relevant rules
issued thereunder and other accounting principles generally accepted in India and in
compliance with Regulation 33 and Regulation 52 of the Listing Regulations.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and the ESOP
trust are responsible for maintenance of adequate accounting records in accordance with
the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the ESOP trust 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 the design, implementation and maintenance of adequate internal financial
Page 2 of 6
controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of
the accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the respective
financial results that give a true and fair view and are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, which have been used for the purpose of preparation of this
Consolidated Financial Results by the Directors of the Parent, as aforesaid.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Results, the respective Board of Directors of the
companies included in the Group and the ESOP Trust are responsible for assessing the
ability of the respective entities to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the respective Board of Directors either intends to liquidate their respective entities or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The respective Board of Directors of the companies included in the Group and the ESOP
trust are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group and the

Auditor’s Responsibilities
(a) Audit of the Consolidated Financial Results for the year ended March 31,
2023
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated
Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2023 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 this
Consolidated Financial Results.
Page 3 of 6
significant doubt on the ability of the Group and the ESOP trust 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
Consolidated Financial Results 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
Group and the ESOP trust to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Annual
Consolidated Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Annual
Consolidated Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events
in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under
Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Annual Standalone
Financial Results of the entities within the Group and the ESOP trust to express
an opinion on the Annual Consolidated Financial Results. We are responsible for
the direction, supervision and performance of the audit of financial information
of such entities included in the Annual Consolidated Financial Results of which
we are the independent auditors. For the other entities included in the Annual
Consolidated Financial Results, which have been audited by the trust auditor and
other auditor, such trust auditor and other auditor remain responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance of the Parent and such other
entities included in the Consolidated Financial Results of which we are the
independent auditors 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.
(b) Review of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended March
31, 2023
We conducted our review of the Consolidated Financial Results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023 in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SRE) 2410
‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of
the Entity’, issued by the ICAI. A review of interim financial information consists of
making inquiries, primarily of the Company’s personnel responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review
is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs specified
Page 4 of 6
under section 143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to obtain
assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be
identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
The Statement includes the results of the entities as listed under paragraph (a)(i) of
Opinion and Conclusion section above.

under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”). Our responsibilities under
those Standards are further described in paragraph (a) of Auditor’s Responsibilities section

the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit evidence obtained by us and the audit
evidence obtained by the ESOP trust auditors in terms of their reports referred to in Other
Matters section below, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
This Statement which includes the Standalone Financial Results is the responsibility of the
Company’s Board of Directors and has been approved by them for the issuance. The
Standalone Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2023 has been compiled from
the related audited standalone financial statements. This responsibility includes the
preparation and presentation of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and year
ended March 31, 2023 that give a true and fair view of the net profit and other
comprehensive income and other financial information in accordance with the recognition
and measurement principles laid down in the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed
under Section 133 of the Act read with relevant rules issued thereunder and other
accounting principles generally accepted in India and in compliance with Regulation 33 and
Regulation 52 of the Listing Regulations. This responsibility also includes maintenance of
adequate accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding

Auditor’s Responsibilities
(a) Audit of the Standalone Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2023
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Standalone
Financial Results for the year ended March 31, 2023 as a whole is 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 this
Standalone Financial Results.
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Annual Standalone
Financial Results, 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors.
• Evaluate the appropriateness and reasonableness of disclosures made by the
Board of Directors in terms of the requirements specified under Regulation 33 and
Regulation 52 of the Listing Regulations.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ 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 ability of the Company 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 Statement 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 Annual Standalone
Financial Results, including the disclosures, and whether the Annual Standalone
Financial Results represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.
• Perform procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI under
Regulation 33(8) of the Listing Regulations to the extent applicable.
Page 3 of 5
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the Annual Standalone
Financial Results of the Company and the ESOP trust to express an opinion on the
Annual Standalone Financial Results. We are responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the audit of financial information of such entities
or business activities included in the Annual Standalone Financial Results of which
we are the independent auditors. For the other entities or business activities
included in the Annual Standalone Financial Results, which have been audited by
the ESOP trust auditors, such trust auditors remain responsible for the direction,
supervision and performance of the audits carried out by them. We remain solely
responsible for our audit opinion.
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.
(b) Review of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended March 31,
2023
We conducted our review of the Standalone Financial Results for the quarter ended
March 31, 2023 in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (“SRE”)
2410 ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity’, issued by the ICAI. A review of interim financial information consists
of making inquiries, primarily of the Company’s personnel responsible for financial
and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A
review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with SAs
specified under section 143(10) of the Act and consequently does not enable us to
obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might
be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
We also performed procedures in accordance with the circular issued by the SEBI
under Regulation 33(8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015, as amended, to the extent applicable.

revenue guidance growth at 25%.”
