Hi, good afternoon, everyone. I am Gaurav Rateria, the TMT analyst at Morgan Stanley. We are pleased to have with us Mr. Rajesh Gopinathan, the CEO and MD of TCS. Rajesh joined as the CEO role in February 2017 after serving as the Chief Financial Officer since 2013 and most recently Rajesh was reappointed as CEO till February 2027. Under his leadership, he TCS has scaled up from $17 billion of revenue to over $25 billion in fiscal 22. The incremental revenue in fiscal 22 itself at $3.5 billion which was one of the highest in last several years. And market cap has grown from $70 billion plus to one $60 billion plus during the same period. A warm welcome to you Rajesh, at the Morgan Stanley Flagship Virtual India Summit 2022 and many congratulations on your reappointment. Thank you, Gordo. Pleasure to be here. Before I begin the customer customary remark, Please note that this event is for Morgan Stanley institutional clients and financial advisors only. Event is not for member of the press. If you are a member of the press, please disconnect and reach out separately for any disclosures, please see Morgan Stanley disclosure website at morganstanley.com back slash research disclosures. The format of the discussion will be Q&A and participants can type in their questions in the Q&A box at the bottom of the screen. The topic for discussion is innovating for greater future. In a way this reflects the accelerated technology spanned by enterprises. So let me ask you Rajesh, this question. You have been talking about a multi year technology cycle for a while. Enterprises seem to be accelerating this brand and focus on technology. What really is driving this big change? Got to thank you and good morning, good afternoon to all your clients and whoever is joining this call the. I think this aspect of multi year technology cycle needs to be seen in terms of there are continuous technology changes but occasionally technology changes come in that are architectural in nature. So the last time we saw one in the turn of the century around the 2000, early 2004, 2005 time frame was when web technologies got adopted at scale by enterprises and that resulted in a. Significant change in the enterprise technology stack, mobile technologies versus similar shift that happened, but the cloud technology shift is as significant and has impactful as the web technology shift and it is a complete rearchitecture and the bottom up kind of a reimagination of how technology in enterprises will be consumed and in fact developed as we go forward. And these kind of shifts are by their nature multi year because unlike consumer tech, enterprise tech. Has a longer adoption cycle. Consumer tech does not have a context so you can an incremental app comes in and gets adopted. It doesn't need to coexist with whatever is already there. It is a standalone 1. Whereas enterprises need to coexist with their existing asset set as well as they need to be contextually aware of each enterprise situation and therefore enterprise technology adoptions are typically long cycle ones and architecturally shifts then result. And a significantly different way which comes in waves. So initially the foundational elements of the technology need to be brought in place. Typically it'll start with the experimentation on the front to prove the business case as it were. And then once that hump is crossed, we go into this bottom up one where the foundational elements comes into place. Then the transactional elements come in and then the real structural changes start getting. More and more emphasized and that's what we are calling this horizon 1, horizon 2, horizon three. And cloud is a big trigger for those kind of changes. And that's the context in which a couple of years back we had called out about the fact that the cloud shift is no longer being debated. It is inevitable shift that is well on its way and we should think of it as a multi year, multi year cycle because of the foundational nature of the change. What is going on? Great to have this context from you Rajesh. So clearly technology is becoming the mainstay here from you know good to have to must have and enterprises are not only using technology to see the change in the architecture, but also actually thinking about technology as an enabler for growth and transformation. So what are the various themes of growth and transformation that you are witnessing at the enterprises end? Go to multiple teams, some of them are traditional but getting played out in their own unique or new ways and then they always comes as part and parcel of any form of economic and disruption. And that continues to be a big theme both the integration aspect of IT as well as the spin-off aspect of IT. So corporate restructuring in its various forms. Bundling and then mergers and then reintegration of it. So that's one big theme. Corporate restructuring has been going across industries in a very, very big way. Front end reimagination of how the end customer interface is being addressed has been a big shift in almost every industry you of course in the financial services industry for many years now. Last years that has been at the front and center of it as to how do you engage with your end customer in a much more rich, meaningful, persistent manner. But you will find the same theme playing out in other industry. So if you take utilities which is typically been the most, you know, customer agnostic kind of an industry traditionally now is lot more front facing and wants to desperately build that customer relationship and the customer engagement. Aspect of it. So that's one end of it. But if you take something like auto, traditionally they have thought of the customer from a lifecycle perspective, but they would engage with them at points of time, sell them a car, go back after 3-4 years, five years, try to upgrade them and then non at every life cycle stage they will try to be relevant to them. But auto is more and more switching into a persistent relationship with the customer. So you will find this kind of customer change, customer interface or customer engagement. That's another big theme that is driving the growth and transformation journey. And the third one we have spoken about extensively is the shift in industry structure that ecosystem plays are driving. So traditionally we have looked at industries in vertical structures but more and more horizontal interplay of value providers and how that ecosystem getting stitched together to. Provide a holistic solution to the customer that is reimagining what possibly future industry structures could look like. So there are many themes that are driving, but these three are I would say you know, illustrative of the extent and the nature of the shift that is going on. So the corporate restructuring, customer experience and the shift in the industry structure to more like an ecosystem play. So growth and transformation agenda is so core to the business strategy of these enterprises. Shouldn't they be doing it on their own rather than using third party partners? And how does TCS really add value and participate in the growth transformation agenda? Great question, Gaurav. Multiple areas that this will play out. So one that we provide is of course speed on the transformation journey because you know the end state is well known to most customers. The question is that how fast can you get there and being able to you know that has multiple things. One is of course immediate capacity, flex capacity being available to be able to accelerate. That journey second is having a partner who knows your context, so that who can come on board fast and actually be part of that journey. If you look at the kind of the themes that are laid out, the end state, actually there's not much higher, very large dispersion of the end state in terms of any of the strategies that individual customers might be looking for, individual industry participants might be looking for, but everybody has a unique. Starting point and therefore the journey will be unique and a very strong awareness of what that starting point is, which we call contextual knowledge is a key part of the value that we bring in, so that the capacity, the talent availability married with the context is a big part. Then comes the whole aspect of innovation because you know people need to be able to have the ability to experiment with multiple things. To be able to get to the right answer and in growth and transmission. Whenever you are on the forefront of doing something new, you will need to buy force except the fact that fair amount of your initiatives will be failures and therefore you increase the chance of success by having multiple parallel threads running. And that's another value that we offer them that if you can actually reduce the per unit cost of innovation, you can in fact increase the total volume of innovative activity that you're doing for the level of investment that you are. Putting out. So again there are different different kinds of value that can help them accelerate and increase the chance of success in their growth and transformation. So it is not a question of should we do it ourselves, should we do it with somebody else. It is about as a service provider. Can I position myself to offer the right propositions for them to be able to accelerate what they are doing rather than for them to outsource what they're doing to us, It is about. The partnership of how we do it together and we do believe based on our in our relationships with our customers and the engagement that we see that it is resonating very strongly with them. Sure. So the key message here is actually it's not just an outsourcing contract, it's more like a partnership where clients and service provider like us actually innovate together. So you know looking at the core capabilities and maybe R&D spend is not the right way to look at companies and understand the strength of capabilities that we have. It just maybe 2% of the revenues, but when we look at the strength on the platforms and IPS. TCS has been filing patents for a long period of time, have been granted large number of patents, large number of platforms which are very industry specific to each of the industry vertical. How some of these things have really helped you to, you know, get some transformational deal wins from the enterprises? Go to our approach to this whole innovation space and has been that we are an equal partner in actually investing in creating intellectual assets that can be leveraged on the transformation journey. And those intellectual assets come in all shapes and sizes. You spoke about, you know our R&D capabilities and our innovation labs. The labs themselves provide an environment of Co creation and Co collaboration with. Customers which they value and they're similar to what I said about the ecosystem, our Co innovation network which is a ecosystem of more than 2000 odd participants both academic and startup and others. That is a very big value proposition for customers because they are able to actually come into a kind of a curated environment where they can experiment along with us. So the whole research environment that we have itself is a value proposition. Then the kind of investments that we do exploratory a lot of what we are filing as patents might not end up in any form being part of any product or any platform that we do in the future because we have very wide wide innovation agenda and very wide research interest. But that also provides a very good experimental ground for our partners and customers who are also interested in. Other areas and then they try to see whether there is something of common use. Then comes there of course granted patents and later on solution frameworks or parts of the solutions which incorporate some of these that could be we consume the OR used in a prepackaged way by customers and moving on to products and finally into platforms. So the kind of use case shifts all along, but underlying it is a. Very strong fabric of investment into intellectual assets, investment into innovation, investment into you know exploration and Co creation and that is what is the holistic proposition that I think customers value with a relationship like ours. And in many cases they expect that also that you know, yes, there is a base case value proposition that we provide them as a provider, but over and above. What is it that will do you guys bring to the table And here we have very differentiated and it is also like in other industries they talk about network effects. Our longevity of the relationship actually increases the value of the relationship. So many of our relationships are multi decadal, but recently we are celebrating with one of the airlines more than 25 years. We are still getting rated as the most valuable supplier. So not just the largest supplier or their older supplier, but their most valuable and most relevant supplier. And that for us is the most important aspect that are we still relevant, are we still you know part of their transformation. Are we still current with where their interests and investments are and this innovation fabric provides us that engagement model and which is valued by them and very valuable to us also? Very well experienced, Sir, this underlying fabric of the whole transformation journey that you talked about. In fact that was a question which I was anyway planning to ask that. The way clients are now thinking about awarding contracts or the way clients are now thinking about going about their transformational journey is no longer like 1 lift and shift kind of work they used to do in the past. It's like a multiple Sprint, right. So typically these sizes typically come down and the general notion in the market was that when these sizes come down, the ability of even smaller companies or vendors to participate. And that increases. So have you seen that really this trend playing out favorably more for the smaller players versus the larger players or the larger players really get that still get the scale benefit which others will take a lot of time to build? I think God of our own track record and both long term as well as in the recent times is a testimony to the fact that deal sizes are transactional. But what matters is the relationship and what is the overall size of the relationship, what are the nature of the relationship. So as you shift more and more towards agile, the transaction size automatically reduces and because the IT is not just that the transaction. Price reduces the ability to predict. The scope of the transaction also goes down. That is structural in nature because it is agile is designed to do that. So then what you're left with is actually a partnership model where you're taking a long term commitment on a partner. You are kind of getting onboarded into a partners operational model and you're integrating the partner into your operational model and then you're. Creating a space where your line managers and your know organization can do multiple small, small, small transactions on an ongoing basis, which is what agile demands. And therefore the proposition from the partner becomes, are you likely to be relevant to me across a wide gamut of my requirements so that I can do all the underlying contracting I can do the commercial models I can put in place, the governance models, the security, etcetera and all? And then the individual transactions can keep flowing on their own. So if anything it is similar. That's why we kind of talk about it in the context of the talent cloud. Think about these relationships similar in concept to a cloud kind of relationship. There are underlying you know propositions which are important but which are quite you know, volume driven propositions like in cloud compute network storage. These are the a lot of value from there, but still fairly undifferentiated. But what gets built on top of it is where the differentiation comes, where the long term commitment and the long term lock in and the strategic alignment comes in and we are similar in nature. So you think of our old basic outsourcing or talent provision as the equivalent of compute and storage in cloud and then you bring in the layers on top. Which actually adds on that incremental strategic value. Great. So picking up from here, you also mentioned about the multiple horizons of this whole cycle. So should one think that these horizons run on stage wise or they can actually run in parallel also and general concern that investors have also raised is that as you migrate or as you transition from horizon one to two, a lot of the migration work will be behind us and could that? Create a concern around plateauing of growth rate for vendors like us. While longer term outlook may still be good, but there may be a phase where you see a little bit of plateauing. So is this even a valid concern? How do you think about it? At a given enterprise level, it is not very linearly stage wise, but it is sequentially. You need to get the foundational elements in before you start, you know, experimenting at scale with some of the other aspects. But I would think of them as overlapping faces rather than very linear faces. And it depends on, you know, even in certain enterprise on the adoption by business unit, adoption by function. Change is different. So they will not all go lockstep, they will go in a certain each of them will follow their own pathway. So in our more sophisticated clients, we have all three phases being simultaneously experimented with very different parts of our being adopted by different parts of the organization. There are even in a case of. Pharmacy retailer that we have spoken about, there is experimentation going on the COVID vaccination Passport which is a ecosystem kind of proposition. There is experimentation going on actually building a new age pharmacy system that is completely cloud based and therefore it goes across there all their physical assets rather than being store based system with store based records and allowing. Their entire the US population to be seen as one single customer set rather than local prescriptions being held at local portions. And of course the base proposition which is the compute load shifting and the storage load shifting to 1. So all three horizons use cases being simultaneously experimented with different levels of volumes on all three as usual so if they are not. Entirely watertight compartments, but they are logically laid out and there comes the idea about what you said that is it likely that there will be a big volume in the beginning on the migration side and then there is a big lull. It's unlikely to be that as the migration kicks in by the early movers, they will start moving into Horizon 2, whereas the middle or the late adopters will continue to drive the. Horizon one volume and the Horizon 2 value is even bigger because once you have actually enabled this, once you've created that, you know, boundaryless fabric, the cost of experimentation or the friction for experimentation reduces significantly and the fixed cost for experimentation reduces. So it becomes less friction, less fixed cost, which yields to more experimentation and more, you know spend and also it frees up a lot of the. Investment budget shift of the foundational layer frees up investment budgets which get invested into Horizon 2. Horizon three so. The way to think about it is, you know, we have spoken about it in the past that. The real question to ask is that if the given enterprise is pending X dollars on technology as a percentage of its total cost, whatever its total cost of operations be if X percent of it was on technology. Two years from now, three years from now, five years from now, 10 years from now, will this X be a higher percentage of its total cost or a lower percentage of its total cost? And the answer, 100%, is that this X will be a higher percentage of its total cost. It's unlikely to be lower. And that is the theme on which we are playing. What will that X be used for? It might be used for Horizon one, it might be used for Horizon 2, or it might be used for something else that we don't know yet. But that's not the point. The point is if you're relevant to what where the spend is. The actual budget bucket will keep on growing and you're seeing that in technology spend, that technology spend has stayed ahead of overall economic growth, whether it is an up cycle or a down cycle. And our business is essentially built on that, betting on that dynamic that this is an increasing one. We just need to keep on investing to stay relevant to where the wave is and keep moving with it. Sure. So AYUSH, on the differentiation side also you talked about the value actually is much more on horizon two and three. So is it important to be present in Horizon 1:00 to be able to capture the horizon two and three and you get any competitive advantage by being in present, by being present in horizon one, somebody who's not been in horizon one, can they come and compete with you in Horizon two and three or it becomes even more difficult? That was no easy answer. It's more of a strategic choice and philosophy. So I'll take the analogy of AMS and AD. The question is that if you want to were to do maintenance work, why would you want to do that? Why not do just the development work? But if you look at us, one of the big reasons for our success is that we took on workloads on the AM side and use the knowledge gained there, which we call the contextual knowledge because it gives you a Ms. gives you a cross enterprise view into what is going on, what their state looks like, where the issues are, what are the aging systems, where are the processes. Broken and as long as you're investing to be able to move forward, it is a very, very powerful foundational position because it gives you knowledge that an outsider does not have. Most of the, you know, product companies fail not because the product is not good, it is because the product doesn't make the product work. In the context of that enterprise requires a special level of knowledge. So it is similar to Horizon 1, Horizon 2 if you were to do the heavy lift. For the horizon one you gain so much of. Insight into where the enterprise is, where the core systems are, what are key that you're much better positioned to deal with Horizon 2, but it's not a pre requirement. But we believe that in the model that we have, it gives us a very strong competitive position which is not easily replicable if you were to come at it purely from a Horizon 3, Horizon 2 kind of proposition. Got it. You actually made a very valid point a few minutes back that we are actually play on technology cycle, not necessarily a macro play because fundamentally the percentage of spend going on technology as percentage of revenue should keep on going up and that's the play we are here. But having said that, there is still a lot of things going on the macro side. There have been geopolitical concerns. Do you see that during these times clients? Have the tendency to reprioritize some of the spends and I think you have been very vocal about that. We tend to underestimate the resilience in the enterprise technology spend. How do you compare this cycle to be different than previous cycles? Actually, I. Frankly, we don't see this cycle to be very different. If anything we are going into the cycle with one of the strongest endorsements of the value of technology. Because you know what happened in the last 2-3 years was that enterprises that had a strong resilient technology fabric were much, they were up and running faster than someone who had not and B, they were much more agile and much more able to twist and turn with the where the emerging challenges and opportunities. So if you were to take any three-year period, I don't think you would have ever had such a strong endorsement of the actual business value of technology and that should give us some cushion as we talk about everything else. But beyond that, if you look at the past scenarios whether it is Brexit, whether it is the European issues or any of the other ones that have gone before and after. Then comes out typically as a winner in the medium to long term cycle on the immediate, you know, aftermath of a big shock like the financial crisis or so. At that time when a huge squeeze gets applied, everything will be cut. But the question is that which is the one that is most resilient and which is the one that's likely to bounce back most? I think technology has proven multiple times and this time around not. Is it similar? I would suspect that it's even more resilient given our recent history of what tech has done in business. Beyond that, whether it is inflation or it is geopolitics, you guys have a much better view. We meet with customers. They're also worried about all your experts being commenting about it. So yes, there is a heightened sense of, you know, that nothing is wrong with us, but is there? I mean, what are you hearing outside that kind of a dialogue is of course a, you know, a dampener to things, but on the ground? You don't see it play out. Everybody is executing what they're doing. But we will wait and see. It is not completely immune to what happens, but in the what's directly available I think. Somewhere I read the micro is executing well. The macro is unknown. Probably that's the best way of putting it. So we have a question here that while we understand it's a multi year cycle, but how should one think about how long the cycle can last and which should help to support higher than historical average growth rate for the industry and TCS? That's a difficult one to call. So if you think about the web cycle, it kind of you can say it lasted 6 years to 12 years depending on whether you count mobile, inside, outside and where you put the list in. And that's likely to be the case here also because the cloud in and of itself is not the entire play. The cloud brings in this concept of a boundaryless enterprise and. It redefines that space so. On the horizon, one itself, we are less than 1/3 of the way in even large adopters at an individual enterprise level itself, large enterprises are nowhere beyond 50% or so of leverage. And their own, you know, models of what a hybrid cloud looks like is also getting redefined as they go along and everybody understands the space better and cloud providers will also remodel their commercials to make it even more attractive for the. The last half or the last third of the adopters to come on board, so that is yet to play out. And on horizon 2 and horizon three, we are in early stages yet from our perspective, you know for us three to five years is a long enough duration and it is well that much of visibility is there. Beyond that what happens it's on a rolling basis, we'll have to deal with it, but we are not forecasting anything. Beyond that. Alright. So shifting gears to more longer term, you actually have already talked about doubling your revenue base sooner than later and you also announced a new organization structure based on the client's majority. So why was this required when we have already been doing so well with the current structure? And why now? This was a milestone year for us, $25 billion big, big milestone for us and it's always a good opportunity both to you know congratulate and to feel good about what we have done also to look forward into what the next milestone would be. So that is definitely you know one part of what is going on. Also you know we coming out of the pandemic, it gave a good time for us to. Take Fresh Guard and look at what say, but it's been something that has been brewing with us for quite some time. We have been working on it. Thinking about it is more the timing of it was driven by the short term events that happened rather than. And if you think about that, as I said, we have been thinking about it. It is not the clients were charity, it is the maturity of the TCS's relationship with the client right. That is the differentiating factor of the organization model and what we are essentially betting on is that our most important asset is this client franchise and the IT is quite well understood that our business model we have thousand 1200 odd customers and. It's all about incremental and repeat sales into that customer universe and being able to make sure that we are onboarding customers and giving them an experience that keeps them with us for multiple decades so that we keep selling see. I referenced this in the past and it has been, you know, taken in a different form, but this idea that. I'm very, very focused on the business model being developed with the underlying belief that technology is an industrial staple. And when I say technology industrial staple, the specific technology or the service key can keep on changing. But the underlying technology consumption which we discussed right now also the idea that is an industrial staple is the most important, you know belief for us in this whole you know structure and our entire strategy. So building that relationship, making sure that the customer experience stays very, very strong, making sure that. The relationship is multifaceted with them and they feel that we are very responsive. We are continuously investing to stay relevant to them and we are able to be meaningful to them across all aspects of their strategy and their organization is the core to our model. So this new structure is designed to maximize and double down on this. So relationships where the level of trust. Is very high. The we have earned the right to be a transformation partner. The way we treat them, the kind of engagement that we do with them needs to be different. Whereas relationships that are relatively new irrespective of the size of the customer's, relatively new relationships where they themselves are going through certain evaluations, they're going through certain changes in their own organization there. Our approach to the engagement management has to be very different. That has to be much more focused on the limited area where you have been entrusted with and you have to earn that trust with them. So the IT is more as I said differentiated by the nature of the relationship that we have built our of course our strategic intent is that everybody in the relationship incubation group should one day become part of our business transformation group and how can we curate that journey and how can we accelerate that journey is the. Anything for us. So the auto structure double s down on this lifetime value of the customer. It double s. It recognizes and you know structurally supports the idea that the relationship will progress in a logical sequence. And we are fine tuning our engagement models to be cognizant and to curate it to where the relationship is on this journey with us. So that's the. That's the big picture view of thinking about what we're trying to do or what we have done in this new structure. Great explanation, Rajesh. So thinking out like couple of years out when we further grow in size, how do you think our business mix? Will evolve, right. I think the G&T initiative has been over the last couple of years and may not necessarily be a dominant portion of revenues, but maybe growing faster than the other lights on the outsourcing business for us. So going forward, how do you think the business mix will evolve and how will that have an impact from client in front of client positioning point of view and our ability to command? A premium or a better pricing in front of the clients? Or one way to think about it, see given the heterogeneity of what we have across our customer universe, there is no one answer that I have for it, but. One model that can help kind of anchor this is. Our value proposition to customers traditionally has been that we will try to shift your run the business to change the business budget mix that traditionally enterprises were spending. And the rule of thumb that the expectation was that they were spending 30% in change the business and 70% and run the business. And a big part of our value proposition was that how we can actually increase the efficiency of run the business so that we can you know free up investment resources. For change the business and in a manner of speaking, can you invert the pyramid, Can you change your run the business to 30% and change the business to 70% And that was where the proposition was built on. What we're trying to do is to make sure that I also have a proposition to participate in the investment budget that is being freed up on the change the business part, which is the what you're calling the GNP part, the change the business might be about. Growth initiatives, it might be about the transformations on the cost side, but it is about change the business investments and that is the proposition that we're trying to build in. And if you were to go with the model that I told you then in our most mature relationships, we should have equal participation on the RTD as well as on the CTB side, but at the portfolio level if you get to. 30% GT, GT or 40% G&T or whatever. We would still be in a very good place, so I don't have a fixed number, but what is most important is that. For our valued clients, our proposition should be equally strong on the run the business side as well as on the change the business side. And that's what we are trying to build out to that into the change of the business side where we do currently have participation, but we're trying to increase our holistic proposition in that space. So the second part of the question was Rajesh, does it help us to command? Better realization because the mix of the offering has improved towards more change the business, which is probably valued much more by the client than just keeping the lights on. Absolutely, Gaurav. In fact, this change has been ongoing for some time. So if you look at our actual realization, you would find a steady improvement in the mix of realization and revenue productivity. That we have been able to achieve even though offshoring has continuously increased. So that is the underlying proof point, but definitely change the business propositions have a higher price point associated with them and that is something that we definitely also hope to participate in. So when we double our revenue, does it mean our employee base also double s to more than a million employees and? Or there should be some nonlinearity in that equation. So there are, if you take the last 10-15 years also there has been nonlinearity and as long as we can achieve similar nonlinearity, it is going to be in the 10% plus minus kind of a range, right. So it is not going to be significantly different. So what that means is that as an organization we have to be mentally and structurally prepared to run a large organization and. That's the most important thing because whether it is 1,000,000 people or 900,000 people, it is not likely to change the nature of what it required to run that and it is not likely to be that. We're not going to get to 50 billion with 600,000 people. Whether we get there at 900 or million at an organizational level, that doesn't really change the challenge. So we need to be able to attract talent at scale. We need to be able to. No train talent at scale, we need to make sure that our retention rate continues to be industry leading. We have to continuously architect our organization to be decomposable into independent self organizing, autonomous self organizing units that can you know be independent on their own but they can collectively work together towards a larger purpose and which is what the organization structure that we have been continuously and driving it. Giving more and more empowerment and creating these self-contained units that can seamlessly collaborate but can exist on their own. So the organizational structure processes philosophy and that is the key part of it and that you know for lack of a better word we are building it for $1,000,000 a million people organization and I keep saying I mean I grew up in a railway colony. So as corporates we are afraid of size, but there are we are not the first organization of that size. So we need to structurally set ourselves up to be able to run a large operation. Got it. So we have a question from one of the investors with respect to, again the current macro environment concerns around inflation and profitability, which might lead some customers to squeeze out on the legacy budgets and focus a lot more on digital transformation. That's the only way they can do that if there is a squeeze on the profitability. So does that pose a risk in the near term from a growth rate perspective? There's so many assumptions in there in that question that I don't know where to start with. Let's assume that there is a squeeze on legacy. Is that a bad thing for us, right? There are two ways in it. One is who is going to feel the squeeze more? Will the squeeze be felt by us or will the squeeze be felt by somebody else And will it result in greater market share gain for us even in that book of business? Because it's not that I have, you know, even 50% of that market share. Second is that? With the squeeze and happens and the shift happens to digital business, who gets to participate in it and what does it do to for a player like us to be participating in that and is it better for us or not. So I think that question is I would say. I know Too Loaded on the back end of this conversation. We have been, we have gone forward many years in it, but it's a. I don't know how to answer it. So coming to the question around priorities, so in the near term we have one large demand to be fulfilled and at the same time we have a supply side challenges and therefore to fulfill the demand we have to. Stay in the investment mode until the supply side challenges kind of ease out. So from a priority perspective, do you think demand fulfillment is a much bigger priority rather than protecting margins in a particular band in the near term? Absolutely. We have always said that you know our margin aspiration and margin philosophy is not ever at the cost of losing market share or at the cost of being able to serve our customers or at the cost of investing continuously to stay ahead of the curve in terms of the emerging trends in the industry. So in our business priority, being relevant in the market, being competitive in the market, being able to serve our customers and being able to invest. And continuously open up new vistas that takes much higher priority. Our philosophy on margin is that we can do all of that and still maintain industry-leading margins and that also does not change. So because I have always maintained margin is a play of relative competitiveness, relative competitiveness, visibly competitors, relative competitiveness with customers. So I don't think the short term impact is of course you know. Interim aspects, but long term structural margins are a question of relative competitiveness and our relative competitiveness has only improved as in no way deteriorated through the years. So how should one look at the aspirational margin of 26 to 28%, especially in light of last three to four years where our full year average margins have been below the lower end in most of these years. While on a relative basis we still the industry-leading margin, we have done better than the most of the peers in the industry. But how should look one look at that band, Is that band kind of achievable from a medium to point of view? So let me put it this way, that our strong belief in it and our systematic investment in being able to you know stay focused on that target is what has resulted in us still being where we are at 25% despite multiple years of completely unprecedented change that happened. So it is a guiding light for us. It is a deep rooted philosophy for us when we were faced with the severe. Uncertainty in March 20, so back in 30 years we are going to get hit but we are you know we are very sure about being able to bring back margin parity in by the end of the year and we were able to do that on a you know three months ahead of schedule. So it is about what is the underlying belief with which you are building the business. Beyond that we have been able to you know that ban we have been able to touch. A few times in between and net, net, given the scenario that unfolded and our approach to it, we stayed completely invested. We didn't take any short term steps. We were not laying off people. We were not cutting back on investments. We were hugely focused on driving it and yet we were able to maintain our industry-leading profitability. So I think it's more a what has happened is more a validation of our belief and. That stays, continues to stay as an underlying theme of our strategy and I still believe that target that we have put structurally is achievable and we are focused on it short term where we are. That is for all of you to judge. Survey at the top of the hour, but let me end this by asking the last question. Look at the capital allocation wise. Last five years more than 90% of operating cash flow has gone back to the shareholders 7 to 8% maybe in the form of CapEx. So why so cautious approach to inorganic route? Is this caution or account of valuation, is it on account of? You think that a large portion of that capability you have been able to build in house and therefore no necessarily no need to go organic. That I want a lighter note it. The reason we've been able to give that money back and not give it over to your other colleagues and the other side part of your organization is this philosophy right And our industry is testament to the fact that it's very easy to spend a lot of money and not have much to show for it. Yep. I think the caution comes from that. We have always said that we are always active in the market, but we want to find the right asset at the right price and it is not just the price, the right asset is the most important thing that we are very focused on what we want to do and who we are and finding an asset that can be integrated and can accelerate our journey is the most important thing for us. We have been able to do that in you know from a geographical expansion point. We have been able to occasionally do that on the product side and we have been able to do it at scale on the services side when we did the ESOP transaction. But again, to find the right asset at the right point of time is also a challenge in our mind. The benefit of a transaction like that is to accelerate what you're trying to do and that is what we always balance that will the friction of integrating it and the drag of executing it, will that supersede the value of that incremental acceleration that it is likely to bring And that's the that's the one big. Measure by which we look at it and that's where we are actually most cautious. It is not the price that actually drives the caution, it is the cultural integration and being able to actually make sure that this will add rather than act as a drag is what actually holds us. Is the one thing that we are very, very careful about studying and I don't think that's going to change in the near future. So meanwhile having that cash in our pocket shouldn't burn a hole in it. So we are happy enough distributing it back because we have sufficient in reserve to execute whatever that we can see. If you need more, we have a clean balance sheet so you know access to resources has never been a challenge. It is more this approach and. That's unlikely to change in the near future. All right. Thank you, Rajesh. We are at the top of the hour, so we have to end the discussion now. But thanks a lot for your time. This was a very, very insightful discussion. I'm sure the investors would have learned a lot about the company and the longer term approach. We really look forward to interact with you again at a future event. Thank you all for participating. Thank you, Gordo.
