Our operational and offshore delivery excellence, fiscal discipline, and differentiated offerings, have contributed to our EBITDA margins expanding by 70 basis points to 27.9% for the quarter. Our PAT grew by 24.6% QoQ to 229.4 crore, with the superior bottom-line performance further aided by R&D; incentives and tax credits from previous years. Our strategic focus on expanding our business in Japan, emerging markets and capitalising on the India opportunity, is now starting to significantly contribute to our growth. During the quarter, our revenue from India has grown by 31.2% YoY, while Japan and emerging markets grew smartly at 81.9% YoY. Our transportation business continues to power growth for the company, registering a strong revenue growth of 8.8% QoQ. Our deep and scaled ADAS, Connected, Electric and Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) capabilities are helping us win large deals with global OEMs across the world, positioning us well for the continued transformation of the automotive industry. We won a landmark US$ 50 million multi-year deal from a global OEM headquartered in Europe, which encompasses SDV and multiple domains of automotive engineering. This strategic engagement will enable SDV platform development and the next generation of mobility for this world-leading brand. During the quarter, we also announced a strategic engagement with Nidec Corporation, Japan to support their group technology initiatives, especially for the automotive market. We also launched a global Next-gen Mobility Innovation Center in Bengaluru, in partnership with Emerson. Our Media & Communication business declined marginally by 1% QoQ, even as we see green shoots for growth, led by our network transformation offerings and digital / Gen AI led innovation for the future of media. I am especially delighted with our world’s first RDK Broadband implementation for Qualcomm, which allows global telecom operators to adopt this first-of-its kind solution to deliver high-speed home and enterprise broadband services through 5G networks. We also won a strategic AI CoE deal with a leading MEA operator, which will support their company-wide transformation initiatives including re-imagining products, customer experience, operations, customer support and software development. Our Healthcare & Lifesciences business reported a decline in topline by 10.4% QoQ. This is due to delay in renewal and start of some new programs with our leading US based customer. We have added some key new customers, including a global renal care leader and a US headquartered healthtech AI leader, which should scale over the next few quarters. Skanray, a leading global MedTech R&D; and Manufacturing company specialising in diagnostic imaging, critical care and surgery/OT solutions, has chosen Tata Elxsi as a strategic partner for advanced surgical imaging core technology and software platform development.
