Major Wins
Durham University
Durham University, a prominent UK educational institution, has partnered
with Mastek to embark on its Oracle Cloud transformation initiative.
The implemented solution has provided the client with a unified back-
end operation characterised by efficient process workflows, enhanced
compliance and regulatory adherence, and an improved user experience
for their employees. Additionally, Mastek's Value-Based Analytics (VBA)
dashboard plays a crucial role, offering the executive and leadership team
a comprehensive overview of data and insights.
Dulsco
Mastek entered a new business partnership with Dulsco, a company specialising
in people and environmental solutions. The objective of this collaboration is
to digitally transform Dulsco's Finance, Enterprise Performance Management
(EPM), Supply Chain, Customer Experience, Transportation, and Human Capital
Management (HCM) functions through the implementation of an integrated
cloud platform. Mastek will integrate Dulsco's disparate systems with a
top-tier staffing and ERP solution, bringing exceptional resilience to its
extensive customer base. By digitally simplifying Dulsco's back-office
operations, Mastek aims to provide sharper business insights, improved
productivity, and enhanced operational efficiency. Furthermore, through its
'Glide' framework, we will empower Dulsco with complete autonomy to drive
self-growth by leveraging up-to-date versions of Oracle Cloud resources.
FLEXcon
FLEXcon aims to achieve three-fold business growth with Mastek. Its legacy
environment poses some inefficiencies that increase the related costs.
Trusting our industry expertise and knowledge of its business objectives,
FLEXcon partnered with us for the implementation of Oracle ERP, SCM,
EPM, CX, Procurement and 29 other modules. FLEXcon will include the
element of mobility in its supply chain management operations with the
Mastek Warehouse 360 solution.

the Business Responsibility Report, three pillars of the Sustainability Framework. Board independence and governance,
highlighting ESG related challenges, ethical business conduct, shareholder transparency, etc., which form key attributes

this disclosure) Giving, Responsible Receiving” more than two decades ago. We have been consistently
working towards reducing waste, efficient water and energy usage as part of E for
many years.
With this solid background, onboarding ESG and incorporating benchmark metrics
was the natural next step. Mastek’s Sustainability Framework adopts and aligns with
United Nation’s five SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) i.e., Quality Education in
the communities it engages (SDG 4), promoting Gender Equality amongst its workforce
(SDG 5), provide Clean Water and Sanitation Facilities (SDG 6), provide Decent Work
and Economic Growth (SDG 8) and Climate Action (SDG 13). We are progressing well on
CSR, covering various initiatives, including granting financial aid to at least 10 charity
organisations across 5 states in India, benefitting 47000 individuals and 150 birds/
animals. We organise a quarterly Gratitude is Attitude event, bringing together all
employees and charities to present themselves with donations from the employees.
Gratitude is Attitude saw 40% participation from Mastekeers in India. Under Social
Value in the UK, Mastek supported a number of bootcamps, and hosted multiple events
for disadvantaged individuals to help them in various ways, including a CV workshop,
recruitment, or a discovery day at our offices. Carbon Net-Zero Emissions assessment
and benchmarking were undertaken for the UK office. We have committed to being
Net Zero by 2030 in the UK. We are already offsetting 100% of carbon emissions in
the UK as of 2022. Our offices in India are accredited with ISO 14001 – Environment
Management System and ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety Management
System. There has been a drastic reduction in electricity consumption, total GHG
emissions, and water consumption. We have partnered with One Tree Planted, a not-
for-profit NGO and the official partner of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem
Restoration, to boost the environmental agenda and occasionally ensure employee
engagement through their services.

Sensitivity analysis
Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in one assumption while not changing all other assumptions. This analysis may not
be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions
would occur in isolation of another since some of the assumptions may be co-related.

Market risk: Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of change in market prices. The primary market risk to the Company is foreign exchange risk.
These derivative financial instruments are forward contracts and are qualified for cash flow hedge accounting when the
instrument is designated for hedge. Company has designated major portion of derivative instruments as cash flow hedges
to mitigate the foreign exchange exposure of forecasted highly probable cash flows.
The objective of hedge accounting is to represent, in the Company’s standalone financial statements, the effect of the
Company’s use of financial instruments to manage exposures arising from particular risks that could affect profit or loss.
As part of its risk management strategy, the Company makes use of derivative financial instruments for hedging the risk
arising on account of highly probable foreign currency forecasted sales.

contracts have been taken to hedge foreign currency fluctuations risk arising on account of highly probable foreign
currency forecasted sales.

denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecasted sales. Further, the entity has included the foreign
currency basis spread and takes the forward rates in hedging relationship.

does not expect any liability against the same.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to
meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers and investment
securities. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The objective of
managing counter party credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Company assesses the credit quality of the
counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The
demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates,
also has an influence on credit risk assessment and accordingly the Company’s accounts for the expected credit loss.
There are two customers which contribute for more than 10% of outstanding total accounts receivables aggregating
72.52% as at March 31, 2023 (74.50%, March 31, 2022).There is one customer which contributes for more than 10% of
revenue aggregating 84% as at March 31, 2023 (88%, March 31, 2022).

The following table gives details in respect of revenues generated from top customer and top 5 customers:
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The
Company manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet
its liabilities when due. Also, the Company has unutilized credit limits with banks. The Company’s corporate treasury
department is responsible for liquidity, funding as well as settlement management. In addition, processes and policies
related to such risks are overseen by senior management. The management monitors the Company’s net liquidation
through rolling forecast on the basis of expected cash flows. Also, the probability that guarantee given by Mastek
Limited on behalf of Mastek (UK) Limited, wholly owned subsidiary (“Mastek UK”) for its borrowings, will be invoked is
very remote considering the financial strength of Mastek UK and its past history of timely repayment. Accordingly, such
guarantee is not impacting the liquidity risk profile of the company.

Volatility : Volatility is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate during the
period. The measure of volatility is used in Black Scholes option pricing model is the annualised standard deviation of
the continuously compounded rates of return on the stock over a period of time. Company considered the daily historical
volatility of the Company’s stock price on NSE over the expected life of each vest.
Risk free rate : The risk free rate being considered for the calculation is the interest rate applicable for a maturity equal
to the expected life of the options based on zero coupon yield curve for government securities.
Expected life of the options: Expected life of the options is the period for which the Company expects the options
to be live. The minimum life of stock options is the minimum period before which the options can’t be exercised and
the maximum life of the option is the maximum period after which the options can’t be exercised. The Company has
calculated expected life as the average of the minimum and the maximum life of the options.
Dividend yield: Expected dividend yield has been calculated as a total of interim and final dividend declared in last year
preceding date of grant.

it is reasonable certain to exercise extension option and not to exercise termination option, the Company has opted to
include such extended term and ignore termination option in determination of lease term.

Impairment
i) Goodwill having a carrying value of `149,758 lakhs (March 31, 2022: `69,801 Lakhs) includes Goodwill of `11,478 lakhs
(March 31, 2022: `10,632 Lakhs) on TAISTech US Group which has been allocated to the Mastek US business (CGU),
` 62,741 lakhs (March 31, 2022: ` 59,169 Lakhs) which has been allocated to the Evosys business (CGU) and ` 75,539 lakhs
(March 31, 2022: Nil) which has been allocated to the MST business (CGU). In the previous year, the goodwill relating
to the Evosys CGU has been adjusted with `2,064 lakhs being the adjustments on account of contractual obligations
relating to Evosys acquisition (refer note 34(a)), reconciled and identified during the previous year. The recoverable
amount has been determined using value in use. The estimated value-in-use of all the CGU, is based on the present value
of the future cash flows using a growth rate of 2.5% p.a. 5% p.a. and 2.5% p.a. (March 31, 2022: 2.5% p.a. and 5% p.a.)
respectively, annual growth rate for periods subsequent to the forecast period of 5 years (March 31, 2022: 4 years) and
discount rate of 16.5% p.a. 16.5% p.a. and 16.5% p.a. (March 31, 2022: 15% p.a. and 16% p.a.) respectively. The growth
rate used is in line with the long term average growth rate for the industry in which Group operates. An analysis of the
sensitivity of the computation to a change in key parameters (Growth rate and discount rate), based on reasonable
assumptions, did not identify any probable scenario in which the recoverable amount of the CGU would decrease below
its carrying amount.
Management has determined the value assigned to each of the key assumptions as follows:
Sales volume Annual average growth rate over the five-year forecast period; based on past performance and
management's expectation of market development.
Sales price Average annual growth rate over the five-year forecasted period; based on current industry trends
and including long-term inflation forecasts for each territory.
Budgeted gross margin Based on past performance and management's expectation for the future.
Other operating cost Management forecasts these costs based on the current structure of the business, adjusting for
inflationary increases but not reflecting any future restructurings or cost saving measures.
Annual capital expenditure This is based on the planned refurbishment expenditure.

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions
constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below:
The sensitivity analysis is based on a change in one assumption while not changing all other assumptions. This analysis may not
be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in the assumptions
would occur in isolation of another since some of the assumptions may be co-related.

27 Segment reporting
The Global CEO of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) as defined by Ind AS
108, Operating Segments. The CODM evaluates the Group’s performance and allocates resources based on an analysis of
various performance indicators by geographical information. Accordingly, segment information has been presented for
geographies where group operates.
The organisational and reporting structure of the Group is based on geographical concept. Geographies are the operating
segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results are evaluated regularly
by CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s primary reportable segments
consist of four different geographies which are based on the risks and returns in different geographies and the location of
the customers: North America Operations, UK Operations, Middle-East and Others.
Income and direct expenses in relation to segments are categorised based on items that are individually identifiable to
that segment, while the remainder of costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis. Certain income and expenses are
not specifically allocable to individual segments as the underlying services are used interchangeably. The management
therefore believes that it is not practical to provide segment disclosures relating to such expenses and accordingly such
expenses are separately disclosed as “unallocated” and directly charged against total income.
Property, Plant and Equipment used in the Group’s business or liabilities contracted have not been identified to any
of the reportable segments, as the Property, Plant and Equipment and the support services are used interchangeably
between segments. Accordingly disclosures relating to total segments assets and liabilities are not practicable.
Geographical information on revenue and industry revenue information is collated based on individual customer invoices
or in relation to which the revenue is otherwise recognised.

Market risk: Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of change in market prices. The primary market risk to the Group is foreign exchange risk.
exposures. The counter parties of these derivative instruments are primarily a bank. All derivative activities for risk
management purposes are carried out by specialist teams that have the appropriate skills, experience and supervision. It
is the Group’s policy that no trading in derivative for speculative purposes may be undertaken.
These derivative financial instruments are forward contracts and are qualified for cash flow hedge accounting when the
instrument is designated for hedge. Group has designated major portion of derivative instruments as cash flow hedges to
mitigate the foreign exchange exposure of forecasted highly probable cash flows.
The following table present the aggregate contracted principal amount of the Group’s derivatives contracts outstanding:

The Group has a Board approved policy on assessment, measurement and monitoring of hedge effectiveness which
provides a guideline for the evaluation of hedge effectiveness, treatment and monitoring of the hedge effective position
from an accounting and risk monitoring perspective. Hedge effectiveness is ascertained at the time of inception of the
hedge and periodically thereafter. The Group assesses hedge effectiveness on prospective basis. The derivative contracts
have been taken to hedge foreign currency fluctuations risk arising on account of highly probable foreign currency
forecasted sales.
The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item
based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The foreign exchange forward contracts are
denominated in the same currency as the highly probable forecasted sales. Further, the entity has included the foreign
currency basis spread and takes the forward rates in hedging relationship.
The Group applies cash flow hedge to hedge the variability arising out of foreign currency exchange fluctuations
on account of highly probable foreign currency forecasted sales. Such contracts are generally designated as cash
flow hedges.

Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet
its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables from customers including unbilled and
investment securities. The maximum exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial assets. The
objective of managing counter party credit risk is to prevent losses in financial assets. The Group assesses the credit
quality of the counterparties, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. The
demographics of the customer, including the default risk of the industry and country in which the customer operates,
also has an influence on credit risk assessment and accordingly the Group accounts for expected credit loss. No single
customer contributes for more than 10% of outstanding total accounts receivables as at March 31, 2023 and March 31,
2022. There is one customer which contributes for more than 10% of revenue aggregating 15% as at March 31, 2023 (no
single customer in March 31, 2022).

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. The Group
manages its liquidity risk by ensuring, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities
when due. Also, the Group has unutilized credit limits with banks. The Group’s corporate treasury department is
responsible for managing and monitoring liquidity, funding as well as its settlement. In addition, processes and policies
related to such risks are overseen by senior management. The management monitors the Group’s net liquidation through
rolling forecast on the basis of expected cash flows. Also, the probability that guarantee given by Mastek Limited on
behalf of Mastek (UK) Limited, wholly owned subsidiary (“Mastek (UK)”) for its borrowings, will be invoked is very remote
considering the financial strength of Mastek UK and its past history of timely repayment. Accordingly, such guarantee is
not impacting the liquidity risk profile of the company.

Price risk

outflow for short term and low value leases.
There are several lease agreements with extension and termination options, for which management exercises
significant judgement in determining whether these extension and termination options are reasonably certain to be
exercised. Since it is reasonable certain to exercise extension option and not to exercise termination option, the
Company has opted to include such extended term and ignore termination option in determination of lease term.
