As the company approaches FY26, the management said their priority is to capitalize on the opportunities in emerging sectors like manufacturing, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), chip-to-product and advanced defense technologies, including unmanned warfare, to bring about non-linear, product led, scalable growth. The company plans to invest significantly in developing new proof of concept and products, with a focus on creating commercially viable assets for future revenue.

The company is deploying resources and costs for this transformation, which is expected to be stabilized by Q2 of FY‘26. These costs and investments are critical to ensure enterprise readiness to progressively achieve the company’s aspirational target of achieving $1 billion revenue by 2030, the management said.  ALSO READ | Jhunjhunwala family-backed firm's stock slides 4% after large trades
