MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS:

The Shareholders have been aware that since Financial
Year 2019-2020 the Presentation of your Company's
Financial Statements have significantly changed with the
implementation of IND AS. Under IND AS, profit or loss on
actual sale of Equity Investments and net gain or loss on fair
value changer are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income
[OCI] instead of being routed through the Statement of
Profit and Loss. These gains [net of taxes] are subsequently
reclassified from OCI to retained earnings. Thus, the income
from Operations of our Company, being an Investment
Company, includes mainly Dividends and Interest Income. To

augment the Operating Income over the medium term your
Company plans to let out a part of the property in Strand
Road and increase its investments significantly for greater
dividend and interest income. This forms part of our endeavor
to increase operating income earning capacity.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 2025:

The "WORLD ECONOMIC OUTLOOK UPDATE" Report by the
IMF of January 2025, stated that global growth is projected
to remain stable at about 3.3% both in 2025 and 2026.
However, the potential ramification of policies proposed by
United States [US] has given rise to considerable uncertainty
leading to lower expectations of global growth.

The volatility in the global economic scenario has become
a defining feature of recent years, driven by factors such as
geopolitical tensions, fluctuating energy prices, inflationary
pressures, climate events and shifting monetary policies.
Such volatility disrupts global supply chains, impacts investor
confidence and leads to uncertainty in financial markets.
For businesses and Government alike, it complicates long¬
term planning and increases the cost of capital. Currency
fluctuations and trade imbalances can further strain emerging
economies. Overall, global economic volatility heightens
the risks associated with investment, slows down growth
trajectories and requires more resilient and adaptive economic
strategies to safeguard stability.

INDIAN ECONOMIC SCENERIO:

India continues to stand out as a beacon of economic
strength and resilience in the global landscape. As the world's
fifth-largest economy, it is well-positioned to maintain its
status as the fastest-growing major economy, with GDP
growth projected at a robust 6.5% for FY26. This momentum
is supported by strong domestic consumption, a stable
macroeconomic environment, and healthy foreign exchange
reserves. Inflation remains within manageable levels, and the
interest rate environment has stabilized, fostering a conducive
backdrop for both public and private sector investment.

India's growth story is underpinned by structural drivers that
offer long-term sustainability. The country is capitalizing on
its demographic dividend, with a young and aspirational
workforce driving productivity and innovation. Continued
enhancements in physical and digital infrastructure are
accelerating connectivity, improving supply chains, and
fostering greater economic integration. The government's
increased capital expenditure, along with targeted initiatives
such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, are
catalysing manufacturing growth, fostering self-reliance, and
attracting both domestic and foreign investment.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has acknowledged
India's economic resilience, highlighting its progress in
formalization, digital inclusion, and robust institutional
frameworks. As India continues to advance reforms, embrace
technology, and strengthen its global trade linkages, it
remains poised to be a key engine of global growth in the
coming decades.

COMPANY'S OUTLOOK:

Given this background, the Directors affirm that the Company's
investments are guided by a long-term vision, with a focus on

sustainable value creation. These investments are strategic in
nature, aligned with the Company's commitment to building
enduring value over time rather than pursuing short-term
gains.

As part of the Company's capital allocation strategy, there is a
clear emphasis on unlocking intrinsic value across its portfolio
to enable greater value creation in the years ahead. The
Company will continue to adopt a disciplined, patient capital
approach—deploying funds prudently across a diversified mix
of equities, real estate, fixed income instruments, alternative
assets and/or operating businesses. Notably, subsequent to
the financial year-end, the Company divested its stake in
the property in Whitefield, representing a significant step
towards unlocking value and strengthening the base for
future growth.

Equities: The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook
on equity markets, underpinned by improving macroeconomic
indicators, a stable political environment, and strong
corporate earnings momentum. India's structural growth
drivers—such as formalization of the economy, rising digital
adoption, infrastructure expansion, and robust domestic
consumption—are expected to continue supporting equity
valuations. Easing inflationary trends and potential monetary
policy easing by global and domestic central banks further
enhance the outlook. Over the long term, equities remain
a key driver of capital appreciation and are well-positioned
to benefit from both cyclical and structural tailwinds in the
Indian economy.

Fixed Income (Debt): The outlook for fixed income
investments remains favorable, particularly as interest rate
cuts are increasingly anticipated in response to a moderating
inflation trajectory and slower global growth. In India, the
Reserve Bank of India is expected to shift towards a more
accommodative stance in the coming quarters, which could
translate into lower yields and a corresponding rise in bond
prices. Long-duration Indian Government Bonds (IGBs) are
especially well-placed to benefit from this environment.
Additionally, the inclusion of Indian government securities
in global bond indices is likely to attract sustained foreign
inflows, enhancing market depth and liquidity. The Company
continues to view high-quality debt instruments as a stable
component of its long-term portfolio, offering both income
and capital preservation.

Real Estate: The real estate sector, after a prolonged period
of subdued performance, is exhibiting signs of a structural
recovery, supported by improving demand fundamentals and
increased institutional participation. Urbanization trends,
a revival in housing demand—particularly in mid-income
and premium segments—and regulatory reforms such as
RERA have enhanced transparency and investor confidence.
Additionally, favourable borrowing conditions and improved
affordability are driving real estate activity across both
residential and commercial segments. The Company is
actively evaluating select opportunities within this asset class,
with a view to participating in its long-term growth trajectory.
Real estate is expected to serve as both a store of value and
a potential source of capital appreciation over time, thereby
complementing the Company's broader investment strategy.

Looking ahead, the Company will also evaluate opportunities
across alternative asset classes and select operating
businesses, with a view to further diversifying its investment
portfolio and enhancing long-term value creation. This
includes potential allocations to private equity, infrastructure
platforms, and other high-conviction alternatives that
offer differentiated return profiles and lower correlation to
traditional asset classes. Investments in operating businesses
may also be considered where strategic alignment, scalability,
and sustainable cash flow generation can be achieved. These
opportunities will be pursued with a disciplined and selective
approach, consistent with the Company's philosophy of
deploying patient capital to unlock long-term growth.
