In his commentary on global market conditions, Mr. Gurnani said supply chain issues and other challenges may slow down the global economy, however, they won’t have any impact on the pipeline.

“We aim to expand our profitability through operational excellence and improved operating metrics over the course of FY’23,’‘ said Mr. Anand.
