Forward looking statement In this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and take investment decisions. This report and other statements - written and oral - that we periodically make contain forward looking statements that set out anticipated results based on the managementí’s plans and assumptions. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as anticipates, estimates, expects, projects, intends, plans, believes, and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion of future performance. We cannot guarantee that these forward looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions. The achievements of results are subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Readers should keep this in mind. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Sometime ago we launched the RPG group’s new brand tagline – Hello Happiness. This tagline will henceforth form a part of our group’s ethos. Our Vision tenets clearly outline the path we will all collectively traverse – one that seeks to propel every RPGian to overcome their own limitations; one that will drive each of us to contribute and shape the lives of others around us positively; an organisation where dreams will not be constrained by fences. The smiley signifies ‘THAT’ Happiness which is within our grasp, which is the culmination of our Vision tenets and is now captured in our tagline. Hello Happiness is a bold statement of confidence and purpose – a statement that helps us open our doors to a world of opportunities and possibilities; a statement that signifies our intent to touch and enrich the lives of others. hello happiness IGNITING DIGITAL INNOVATION Create real business impact Digital is now an integral part of our lives. They influence opinions across a range of subjects – from the political to the economical to the social. They influence consumer behaviour, impact economic direction and growth. This digitalness of our existence is manifested when we book a cab on our smartphone, buy something off the internet, book a room on the other side of the world or read a political commentary on a subject of our choice. The result is that every business is now virtually a digital business. At Zensar, we are addressing this unprecedented sectoral opportunity by igniting digital innovation. This digital innovation has helped widen our service bouquet, evolved transactions to partnerships, graduated moderate customer impact to business- strengthening solutions and evolved our engagement from a time-specific impact towards business sustainability. 02 Zensar Technologies Limited Contents 04 Corporate Snapshot 06 Board of Directors 07 Leadership Team 08 Chairman message 10 CEO’s note 12 Return on Digital® 14 Living Digital 14 Innovation hub: Zenlabs 16 Customer engagement at Zensar 17 At the heart of digital: People at Zensar 19 Community Engagement 21 Board’s Report and Annexures 101 Standalone Financial Statements 173 Consolidated Financial Statements Annual Report 2017-18 03 Corporate Snapshot Zensar Technologies is an organisation focusing on providing cutting-edge digital solutions and services by leveraging technological innovation and living digital.
