5. Management Discussion and Analysis Report
Industry Structure and Developments:

The year was marked by sound fundamentals, with inflation trending towards RBI''s target level of 4.6%, forex reserves experienced a decline before
rebounding and interest rates held at the same level with an accommodative stance to spur growth. The Indian economy had a strong GDP growth which
was driven by capital formation and investment for the most part and to a lower extent by private and public consumption. GDP for the country is
projected to grow at 6.3% during FY 2025-26 supported by resilient domestic activity, robust investment and government consumption. Indian economy
remained resilient with robust 6.5% growth rate of GDP in FY 2024-25.

While there was no change in stance of the monetary policy, the market reading of the monetary policy statements indicated that the interest rate had
peaked. Overall, the country is attracting many global majors for strategic investments owing to the presence of a vast range of industries and investment
avenues.

Opportunity and Threats:

The annual rate of inflation based on all India Wholesale Price Index (WPI) number is 2.05% (provisional) for the month of March, 2025 (over March,
2024). Positive rate of inflation in March, 2025 is primarily due to increase in prices of manufacture of food products, other manufacturing, food articles,
electricity and manufacture of textiles etc. Meanwhile, The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in April 2026 after a
detailed assessment decided to bring down the repo rate to 6 % and the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) has been adjusted to 5.75%.¹

The rise of AI poses a substantial challenge globally, especially in service sectors where employment is a concern. A recent IMF paper highlights that
almost 40 percent of global employment is exposed to AI, showcasing both its complementary benefits and potential risks of displacement. Geoeconomic
fragmentation and the slowdown of hyper-globalization are leading to increased friend shoring and onshoring activities, impacting global trade and
economic growth.

Segment-wise or product-wise performance:

The Company is solely engaged in financial consultancy services, which is the only reporting segment. The total revenue from financial advisory services
stood at Rs. 5,00,000/- as compared with Rs. 6,00 ,000/- in the previous financial year.

Outlook:

² Rising employment and substantially increasing private consumption, supported by rising consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming
months. Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to be supported by factors such as tax buoyancy, the streamlined tax
system with low rates, a thorough assessment and rationalisation of the tariff structure, and the digitization of tax filing. In the medium run, increased
capital spending on infrastructure and asset-building projects is set to increase growth multipliers. The contact-based services sector has largely
demonstrated promise to boost growth by unleashing the pent-up demand. The sector’s success is being captured by a number of HFIs (High-Frequency
Indicators) that are performing well, indicating the beginnings of a comeback.

Risk and concerns:

The geopolitical crises, supply chain reorientations, global inflation, and tight monetary policy conditions seems to outweigh on the positives of the
economy. Inflation may peak along with the moderation of the global economy and stability in crude oil and industrial raw material prices. A tighter
monetary policy will also help bring down demand and, therefore, cap the price rise.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has shouldered a major responsibility of cushioning the economy from rising prices and maintaining liquidity. Yet, navigating
inflation and preserving financial stability, while boosting growth drivers, have been a tightrope walk for policymakers and for the economy as a whole.

Internal Control Systems and their adequacy:

The Company has an effective internal control and risk-mitigation system, which are constantly assessed and strengthened with new/revised standard
operating procedures. The present internal control systems are adequate and commensurate with the nature and size of the Company.

Material developments in Human Resources/Industrial Relations front, including number of peoples employed:

There is no major development in human resources/industrial relations front. At present the Company has only one employee.

payables.

5. Management Discussion and Analysis Report
Industry Structure and Developments:

The year was marked by sound fundamentals, with inflation trending towards RBI''s target level of 4%, forex reserves
at all time high levels and interest rates held at the same level with an accommodative stance to spur growth. The Indian
economy had a strong GDP growth which was driven by capital formation and investment for the most part and to a
lower extent by private and public consumption. GDP for the country is projected to grow at 7.2% during FY 2024-25
supported by resilient domestic activity, robust investment and government consumption. Indian economy remained
resilient with robust 7.6% growth rate of GDP in FY 2023-24.

While there was no change in stance of the monetary policy, the market reading of the monetary policy statements
indicated that the interest rate had peaked. Overall, the country is attracting many global majors for strategic
investments owing to the presence of a vast range of industries and investment avenues.

Opportunity and Threats:

The annual rate of inflation based on all India Wholesale Price Index (WPI) number is 0.53% (Provisional) for the month
of March, 2024 (over March, 2023). Positive rate of inflation in March, 2024 is primarily due to increase in prices of
food articles, electricity, crude petroleum & natural gas, machinery & equipment and other manufacturing etc.
Meanwhile, The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on February 8, 2024 after a
detailed assessment decided to keep the policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at
6.50 per cent.

The rise of AI poses a substantial challenge globally, especially in service sectors where employment is a concern. A
recent IMF paper highlights that 40 percent of global employment is exposed to AI, showcasing both its complementary
benefits and potential risks of displacement. Geoeconomic fragmentation and the slowdown of hyper-globalization are
leading to increased friend shoring and onshoring activities, impacting global trade and economic growth.

Segment-wise or product-wise performance:

The Company is solely engaged in financial consultancy services, which is the only reporting segment. The total revenue
from financial advisory services stood at Rs. 6,00,000/- as compared with Rs. 6,25,000/- in the previous financial year.

Outlook:

Rising employment and substantially increasing private consumption, supported by rising consumer sentiment, will
support GDP growth in the coming months. Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to
be supported by factors such as tax buoyancy, the streamlined tax system with low rates, a thorough assessment and
rationalisation of the tariff structure, and the digitization of tax filing. In the medium run, increased capital spending on
infrastructure and asset-building projects is set to increase growth multipliers. The contact-based services sector has
largely demonstrated promise to boost growth by unleashing the pent-up demand. The sector''s success is being
captured by a number of HFIs (High-Frequency Indicators) that are performing well, indicating the beginnings of a
comeback.

Risk and concerns:

The geopolitical crises, supply chain reorientations, global inflation, and tight monetary policy conditions seems to
outweigh on the positives of the economy. Inflation may peak along with the moderation of the global economy and
stability in crude oil and industrial raw material prices. A tighter monetary policy will also help bring down demand
and, therefore, cap the price rise.

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has shouldered a major responsibility of cushioning the economy from rising prices and
maintaining liquidity. Yet, navigating inflation and preserving financial stability, while boosting growth drivers, have
been a tightrope walk for policymakers and for the economy as a whole.

Internal Control Systems and their adequacy:

The Company has an effective internal control and risk-mitigation system, which are constantly assessed and
strengthened with new/ revised standard operating procedures. The present internal control systems are adequate and
commensurate with the nature and size of the Company.

Material developments in Human Resources/Industrial Relations front, including number of peoples
employed:

There is no major development in human resources/industrial relations front. At present the Company has only one
employee.
