Hello, everyone, a warm welcome to Tata Technologies Q1 FY 2027 Earnings Conference Call. I'm Prateek Rampuria, Manager, Investor Relations at Tata Technologies. Joining us today from the management team are Mr. Warren Harris, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Ms. Sukanya Sadasivan, Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Uttam Gujrati, Chief Financial Officer. We will begin today's call with opening remarks from the management team, covering the company's performance for the quarter and key business highlights, followed by a Q&A session. Before we proceed, I would like to remind everyone that certain statements made during today's call may be forward-looking in nature. These statements should be viewed in conjunction with the risks and uncertainties outlined in slide two of our quarterly fact sheet, which is available on our website. Our press release, financial results, and investor presentation have been submitted to the stock exchanges and are also available on the investor relations section of our website, www.tatatechnologies.com. We trust you've had an opportunity to review them. With that, I now invite Warren to share his opening remarks. Over to you, Warren. Thank you. Good evening, everyone, thank you for joining us today. As we begin FY 2027, I want to be very clear about the way we see the year ahead. FY 2026 was a year of transition and investment for Tata Technologies. FY 2027 is poised to be a breakout year. That confidence is not based on aspiration alone. It is based on the quality of the demand we are seeing, the strength of our order book, the momentum in large deal conversion, the visibility we now have across our pipeline, and the operating discipline we are bringing to margin expansion and productivity improvement. The first quarter reinforces that view. For Q1 FY 2027, total revenue was $175.4 million, representing growth of 4.3% quarter-on-quarter and 25.2% year-on-year in constant currency. Services revenue was $136.6 million, up 4.3% quarter-on-quarter and 24.4% year-on-year in constant currency. While technology solutions revenue was $38.8 million, growing 4.2% quarter-on-quarter and 27.9% year-on-year in constant currency. Services remains the core engine of our business, representing approximately 78% of total revenue. Our operating EBITDA was approximately $28 million, translating into an EBITDA margin of 16.1%, an increase of 10 basis points sequentially. Margin performance during the quarter reflected a combination of business mix and the deliberate upfront investments required to support the ramp-up of several large strategic wins. The external environment remains dynamic. Customers continue to be selective in how they allocate engineering budgets, particularly across the global automotive value chain. That selectivity is increasingly working in our favor. Customers are prioritizing programs that accelerate product launches, improve efficiency, reduce cost, strengthen software capability, and support the transition to intelligent, connected, software-defined products. That is precisely where Tata Technologies has been investing and where our capabilities are becoming more relevant. Over the last two years, we have deliberately built a more resilient, diversified, and future-ready Tata Technologies. We have strengthened our customer portfolio, expanded our global footprint, deepened our capabilities in high-growth technology areas, and positioned the company closer to where long-term engineering and manufacturing transformation spend is moving. The quality of that growth is equally important. Automotive remains our largest vertical, the business is becoming healthier and more diversified. Automotive non-anchor revenue reached $43.9 million, growing 6.7% quarter-on-quarter and 56.3% year-on-year, reflecting continued progress in reducing customer concentration and expanding our presence across global OEM. Beyond automotive, we continue to see encouraging momentum in our diversification vertical. Aerospace revenue grew to approximately $10.2 million, up 6.4% quarter-on-quarter and 38.1% year-on-year. While IHM revenue reached approximately $15 million. Together, aerospace and IHM are becoming increasingly meaningful contributors to growth and provide additional evidence that our diversification strategy is delivering results. We are also seeing encouraging geographic momentum. Europe has become an increasingly important growth engine for the business, supported by the successful integration of Es-Tec and our growing presence across the region. Q1 revenue from Europe reached approximately $67.9 million, representing growth of 10.1% quarter-on-quarter, and reinforcing our belief that the region will remain a significant contributor to future expansion. Germany continues to strengthen from a strategic white space to one of our most important growth markets. Specifically, BMW TechWorks continues to scale successfully and has now crossed the milestone of 2,000 engineers. While BMW TechWorks is not consolidated into Tata Technologies revenue, it remains an important strategic relationship that strengthens our software-led engineering credentials, enhances our access to next-generation mobility programs, and reinforces our position as a trusted partner to one of the world's leading automotive manufacturers. Let me now turn to deal momentum. During the quarter, we continued to see strong traction in large strategic deal pursuits, reflecting customers' increasing willingness to entrust Tata Technologies with business-critical transformation initiatives. The most significant win was our $100 million strategic engagement with Tenneco, which expands our relationship beyond traditional engineering services into a multi-year transformation program spanning engineering, digital technologies, AI-enabled processes, and operational modernization. We also secured a strategic engagement with a leading North American industrial equipment manufacturer, expanding our role across systems engineering, software engineering, and embedded software development. The program will leverage AI-enabled engineering methodologies to improve development productivity, accelerate product realization, and reduce time to market. In automotive, we deepened our relationship with a leading global OEM through a range extender vehicle program that draws upon our capabilities across vehicle engineering, powertrain integration, validation, and systems development. In addition, we were selected as a preferred engineering partner by a leading off-highway manufacturer to support both their new product development and total cost of ownership optimization initiatives. In addition to these new wins, we continue to make strong progress on the strategically significant full vehicle development program with a leading Japanese automotive OEM that we discussed during our previous earnings call. What makes this engagement particularly noteworthy is not simply its scale, but what it represents. As many of you will appreciate, Japanese OEMs have historically been highly selective in their choice of engineering partners, particularly for programs of this strategic importance. To be entrusted with the complete development of a vehicle program by a customer with whom we had no prior relationship in this space is a remarkable achievement and, in our view, a powerful validation of the capabilities, credibility, and value proposition that Tata Technologies has built over many years. This engagement reflects the growing confidence customers place in our ability to deliver end-to-end product engineering solutions across the entire vehicle life cycle. It also demonstrates that our investments in vehicle engineering, software-defined vehicles, systems engineering, validation, manufacturing engineering, and global delivery capability are enabling us to compete for and win some of the most strategic programs in the industry. Collectively, these wins reinforce a clear trend. Customers are increasingly engaging Tata Technologies on larger, multi-year programs that combine engineering, software, AI, and digital transformation capabilities to accelerate innovation while improving efficiency and competitiveness. This is why our guidance for FY 2027 should be viewed with confidence. Based on current visibility, we continue to expect strong double-digit organic revenue growth for FY 2027, with services as the primary growth engine and margin expansion supported by scale, utilization, delivery productivity, AI-led efficiency, and disciplined cost management. AI remains a central pillar of this confidence. Our AI strategy is built around four priorities: transforming service delivery, building differentiated offerings, strengthening AI partnerships, and delivering AI-ready talent. We are anchoring this strategy on enterprise-wide adoption with trust and responsible AI built in from the start. Through Chromosome, we are codifying decades of engineering knowledge into repeatable frameworks, accelerators, and solutions that improve productivity, quality, scalability, and delivery speed. We see AI as both a margin lever and as a strategic differentiator, helping our clients engineer better products faster and more efficiently. Talent is the other half of this equation. Through TechVarsity, our internal university, we have delivered over 9,000 learning hours across GenAI, software-defined vehicles, and cybersecurity this quarter, strengthening capabilities of over 2,000 employees. Customer recognition during the quarter has also reinforced the progress we are making. Tata Technologies was honored with JLR's Visionary Supplier Award in June 2026, recognizing our role in supporting JLR's enterprise and manufacturing transformation journey across multiple initiatives and programs. In summary, Q1 FY 2027 confirms that Tata Technologies is entering the year with real momentum. We have stronger visibility on growth. We've delivered 25.2% year-on-year revenue growth in Q1, while continuing to improve the quality of our portfolio through diversification, large deal conversion, strategic customer wins, and expanded software and AI-led capabilities. We are scaling in priority areas through initiatives such as Es-Tec. We are improving diversification through continued growth in automotive non-anchor accounts, aerospace, and IHM, while reducing our dependence on any single customer geography or end market. We are investing in AI as both a delivery productivity lever and a differentiated customer proposition. We are translating this growth into margin expansion through productivity, utilization, operating discipline, and scale. With that, let me hand it over to Uttam to take you through the financial performance in more detail. Thank you. Thank you, Warren. Good day. Thank you for joining us all. Building on the business update shared by Warren, I will now walk you through our financial performance for the first quarter of FY 2027 and discuss the key drivers underpinning our results. I am pleased to note that the growth momentum we had established in the second half of FY 2026 has continued in Q1, with services segment growing 6.3% QOQ in INR, and 4.3% in constant currency to INR 1,297 crores. The technology solutions segment saw sequential revenue growth of 4.3%, led by our education business, which saw 9.3% growth, while the product business saw a degrowth of 2.6%, primarily due to seasonality, as it typically experiences strong demand in the final quarter of the calendar year. As a result, aggregate revenues increased 5.9% QOQ in INR, and 4.3% in constant currency to INR 1,665 crores. I am particularly pleased with the quality of our revenue growth this quarter, which once again underscores the diversified and resilient nature of our business mix. While Warren touched upon some of these trends, let me add a few data points that further highlight the strength and balance of our portfolio. Within automotive, our non-anchor business continued to grow at a healthy pace, reflecting our success in broadening customer relationships and diversifying revenue streams. Resultantly, the contribution from anchor accounts to our services revenue reduced to 48.9% in Q1, an improvement of 150 basis points sequentially. This continued diversification enhances the resilience of our revenue profile by creating a broader base for future growth. We also saw encouraging momentum in our embedded and software bus iness, which grew 8.5% QOQ in dollar terms. The strong growth in embedded and software not only reflects the increasing software content in vehicles, but also positions us well to capitalize on the long-term industry shift towards connected, autonomous, and software-defined mobility solutions. We maintained strong operating discipline during the quarter, with operating expenses increasing 5.8%, slightly below revenue growth of 5.9%. Resultantly, EBITDA grew 6.1% sequentially to INR 267 crores, while EBITDA margin improved 10 basis points QOQ to 16.1%. Margin performance during the quarter reflected a combination of business mix and strategic investments to support future growth. Our services business delivered a healthy 120 basis points improvement in gross margins, which was partly offset by 250 basis points decline in technology solutions margins, resulting in an unfavorable mix impact. In addition, several large strategic engagements and full vehicle programs entered the mobilization phase during Q1, requiring upfront investments in talent, ramp-up, capability development, transition activities, and delivery readiness ahead of revenues reaching steady-state levels. While these investments created some near-term margin dilution, they are critical to s uccessfully scaling these multiyear programs and capturing the growth opportunity ahead. We are also navigating some temporary headwinds within parts of our Germany business as certain customers walk through restructuring and cost optimization initiatives. As we implement annual wage increase in Q2, we expect to absorb the associated cost impact while still delivering sequential margin improvement through operational discipline and execution. While these factors may moderate the pace of margin expansion in near-term, they do not alter our confidence in long-term opportunity. Overall, our confidence in the growth outlook has strengthened materially. As we move to FY 2027, we will continue to balance investments required to capture this opportunity with our commitment to margin improvement. We remain confident that prioritizing high-value turnkey and end-to-end engineering engagements today will create greater long-term value while supporting our medium-term margin ambitions. Our operating profit or EBIT increased by 8.3% sequentially, reaching to INR 239 crores. Our partnership with BMW continues to scale well. BMW TechWorks has now crossed a key milestone of 2,000 engineers and continues to strengthen our credentials in software-led automotive engineering while expanding our participation in next-generation mobility programs. In Q1, our share of profit from the joint venture increased 43.5% QOQ to INR 9.5 crores, and the total contributions stood at INR 17.8 crores, including the deferred income of INR 8.3 crores. Other income increased 19.3% QOQ to INR 36.9 crores, driven largely by profit on sale of investments. Profit before tax for the quarter was INR 252 crores compared to INR 283 crores in the previous quarter. It is important to note that Q4 included a one-time reversal of the provision related to the New Labour Codes. Excluding this non-recurring benefit, our underlying profitability improved meaningfully with PBT increasing 10.8% QOQ and PAT growing 11.3% sequentially to INR 181 crores. Maintaining a strong balance sheet with robust liquidity is a key focus for us. At the end of Q1, the net cash position stood at INR 880 crores, while the DSO remained stable at 97 days, reflecting healthy collection efficiency. Our bill DSO came in at 65 days compared with 59 days in Q4, while the unbilled DSO were at 32 days compared with 36 days in Q4. Moving on to the operational matrix as highlighted. Our total headcount stood at 12,579 associates at the end of Q1, representing a net reduction of 67 employees or 0.5% sequentially. This primarily reflects a continued optimization of our delivery capacity with a balanced approach towards managing the mix between full-time employees and outsourced resources. As demand conditions continue to improve and deal momentum strengthens, we remain disciplined and selective in our hiring, focusing investments on strategic skill areas and growth priorities. This approach enables us to align talent deployment with client demand while maintaining operational efficiency and supporting future growth. Our talent metrics continue to remain healthy with trailing 12 months voluntary attrition declining to 16%, an improvement of 20 basis points year-over-year. This reflects the strength of our employee value proposition, investments in learning, career development, and our efforts to provide employees with opportunities to work on leading-edge engineering and digital transformation programs. We remain focused on attracting, developing, and retaining high-quality talent as we prepare for our next phase of growth. Building a future-ready workforce remains central to our strategy as we scale in high-growth areas such as embedded software-defined vehicles, cybersecurity, digital engineering, and AI-led engineering services. Our learning ecosystem continued to gain traction with over 20,000 training hours delivered to 3,000-plus employees this quarter. TechVarsity continues to be an important enabler of this capacity-building journey, having conducted 90-plus programs, including focused technical learning across 40-plus niche skilled areas. In summary, as we look ahead, we remain encouraged by the healthier customer engagement levels we are seeing across our key markets and by a constructive demand environment that continues to support strategic investments in engineering, digital transformation, and next-generation mobility. While we remain mindful of the evolving macroeconomic backdrop, our focus remains firmly on disciplined execution, operational excellence, and prudent capital allocation. These priorities, together with our diversified business mix and resilient margins, position us well to capture emerging opportunities and continuing to invest in capabilities that strengthen our long-term competitiveness. Above all, our commitment remains unchanged: to create a sustainable value for all our stakeholders, including customers, employees, shareholders, and partners, through consistent execution and profitable growth. Thank you. We can now open the floor for questions. Thank you very much. We will now begin with the question and answer session. Anyone who wishes to ask a question may press star and one once we are touched on today. If you wish to remove yourself from the question queue, you may press star and two. Participants are requested to use hashtags while asking a question. Participants are also requested to restrict their questions to two at a time. Should you have any follow-up questions, you may rejoin the queue by pressing star and one. Ladies and gentlemen, we will wait for a moment while the question queue assembles. Our first question comes from the line of Jyoti Singh with Haitong. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thank you for the opportunity and congratulations on the good execution and also on the Tenneco deal. Sir, largely, I wanted to understand that you retreated double-digit organic growth for 2027 after delivering a very strong number in Q1. Does this imply some moderation in H2, or has the visibility actually improved further since the beginning of the quarter? Thanks for that question, Jyoti. I think when we began the fiscal year, we referenced our expectations for double-digit growth. I think in the narrative that we've surrounded the Q1 results, we've referred to strong confidence in double-digit growth. I think that as we've gone through the quarter, given deal signings, given momentum, given the engagement that we've got with customers, our confidence has only grown. We do not see a tapering of growth in the second half of the year. We actually see growth accelerating as we move through the quarters this fiscal. Understood. Second question, are we seeing any OEM shifting engineering budgets away from EV platform toward hybrid or ICE refresh program over the last three months? How is the demand we are getting from Europe and U.S.? I think a great question, certainly we have, over the last couple of years, start to see the investments in EVs tapering and a much more balanced proposition as far as propulsion options that our customers are building and investing in. That's great news for Tata Technologies because as propulsion is concerned, we're agnostic. We are, at the moment, delivering work packages and full vehicles in the ICE, in the hybrid, plug-in hybrid and full BEV arenas. Again, the key driver to the improvement that we've seen is that over the last kind of 18 months, demand has been somewhat compromised by the tariff announcements and again, that tapering of EV demand in geographies like the United States. We're seeing those periods now start to come to an end, clarity being provided for the customers that we're working with, and based upon that clarity, investments are being made, and we are very pleased that we've been on the right side of that. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Ravi Menon with Axis Capital. Please go ahead. Hi, thank you for the opportunity. Congrats on a really good quarter. Overall your enthusiasm and optimism is infectious. Just wanted to understand, what's really underpinning this, because most of your peers who are auto specialists seem to be singing quite a different tune. This is about your client portfolio being different, service portfolio being different, or are you being a lot more diversified with clients? Or is this about involvement in new hybrid platforms? What's actually the reason why your outlook seems very different compared to the peers? Yeah, great questions, Ravi. I think what's really playing out is essentially the thesis around which we are investing and growing the company. For some time, we have believed that as the clock speed of technology change accelerates, we think that our customers and the market will increasingly shrink their focus onto the things that are core to the DNA of their brand, and they will increasingly look to outsource. I think the propensity to outsource will be positioned predominantly for those organizations like ourselves that have demonstrated over many, many years our ability to be able to take on turnkey responsibility for complete work packages and complete products. That's really where we're seeing the tailwinds that we are currently intersecting with. one of the associated points that I'd make is that when a customer of ours makes a decision to outsource a complete product, that decision is typically made at the top end of that customer hierarchy. It's typically made within the C-suite. It's the chief exec, it's the head of engineering, or it's the CTO. Those relationships that we've cultivated over many, many years give us the opportunity to not only influence product engineering decisions, but also all outsourcing decisions. We are seeing a broad-based improvement in demand. It's certainly very much predicated upon the outsourcing of full vehicles. The halo effect of that and the influence that that affords us has given us the opportunity to grow in a relatively broad-based way. As Uttam pointed out, we've seen growth not just in terms of engineering, but also in embedded software and also in digital. I think those represent proof points of the principles that I've just shared. Great. Thanks so much for the answer. You spoke about how it's turnkey engagement. Can I think about the AI impact as not being really deflationary for you? Is that something that you're seeing? Because what kind of impact are you seeing at all on pricing? Great question, Ravi. I think one of the things that is underpinning our value proposition on the full product space is our ability to be able to deliver China speed and China cost at the quality standards that the global automotive market expects. We're doing that because we've had a footprint in China for more than a decade now, we understand the players, we understand how they do things. We've been able to capitalize that experience through the investments that we're making in AI. The contribution that AI is making to us is really a force multiplier in terms of productivity and a force multiplier in terms of being able to do things that are increasingly difficult, not just for the competition, but also in part for the industry at large. If you look at many of the Western OEMs, they're still developing vehicles at between 36 and 48 months. We are routinely, and have demonstrated this consistently, able to develop full vehicles and top hats anywhere between 18 months and 24 months. Again, we've demonstrated that, and we've got vehicles on the road today that are, again, proof points against those claims. Great, thanks. We can just say that we shouldn't think of the volume of work as constant. Can we just think of that as the product cycles are accelerating, but that's the real net impact of AI? That we shouldn't just think of that as shrinking the pie, right? I think that's a great way to summarize it. Thanks so much, Warren. Uttam, one clarification on the technology product side, the margins are a little lower. What's the reason for that this quarter? Basically, that's a mixed impact that we are seeing in the technology solutions business. The education business grew faster than the product piece in it, and this disproportionate growth mix change within the two led to the declines in the margins. Thanks so much. Best of luck. Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Mayank Batra with [audio distortion]. Please go ahead. Hi, thank you for taking my question. Am I audible? Yes, sir, you're audible. Please proceed. First of all, congratulations, Warren, Uttam, and Vijay for a great set of numbers and great execution. You have outdone yourselves, so congratulations at first. My questions are first to Warren is, you announced the Tenneco deal and one full vehicle program in Q1. Last quarter, you had mentioned that you were positive on closing two full vehicle programs in the next eight to 12 weeks, out of which one you have already closed. I'm sure given the confident tone that you're speaking with, you will be closing the second one soon. Could you give us a sense of how many such full vehicle programs do you have in pipeline now at this point in time that you're confident of closing in? Well, thank you for the generous comments first and foremost. I think, as you picked up, our confident tone is really informed by the momentum that we continue to build in and around deal signings, large deal signings, and specifically for vehicles. We've pointed in the narrative and the press release that we've accompanied the Q1 numbers or at least the deck that we published. We've pointed to a number of large deals, but that's not an exclusive list. We have closed additional business, and we've taken that momentum into the second quarter. I'm not at liberty to give you too many details in terms of customer names or the size of these deals. Hopefully, we'll be able to share more at the end of Q2. Rest assured, the deal momentum continues to build, and it's that that really gives us renewed confidence in the guidance that we previously shared. Sure. My second question is in two parts. The first part to Uttam, if you could give us the aerospace revenue and the QOQ and YOY performance in this quarter. The second part I'll address to Warren, is that if you could give us some outlook. I know you don't give guidance, but qualitatively, if you could give us a direction of how big can this vertical be so that we can get a grip on the size and scale of opportunity. Especially given that Airbus has announced a new clean sheet program last year. These were the two-part questions. Let me go with the aerospace piece first. Our aerospace revenues grew to approximately $10.2 million. This was up 6.4% QOQ and 38.1% YOY. The second question, what you had, Warren? It relates to what the potential can be for the aerospace vertical. I think we have consistently messaged in the last couple of years our confidence in scaling this vertical at a faster rate than the automotive sector. That's driven by a number of different things. It's been driven by the fact that we've been able to secure an involvement in Airbus' strategic supplier outsourcing list. It's been informed by the investments that the Tata Group is making in aerospace. It's informed by the fact that the demand for air travel is increasingly being centered upon Southeast Asia and specifically here in India. By association, the fact that there is going to be a significant amount of infrastructure investment in things like MRO capabilities and assembly and build capabilities here. The growth that we've seen in the last four or five years, which I think has represented a CAGR of about 40%, I think that that is a CAGR that we can continue. I certainly think in the next couple or three years, I think that we can trend very successfully towards the $100 million target for aerospace. Now, how quickly we get there will depend upon a number of factors. I think that we've cemented not only the relationship with Airbus, but with key components of Airbus' supply chain. We've also been able to build a very strong relationship with some of the propulsion players in North America. The growth now is not just predicated upon a single customer. It's much more broad-based and by association, it's much healthier. Thank you. I'll get back in queue for any more questions. Thank you so much and best of luck. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Ankur Pant with IIFL. Please go ahead. Hi, Warren. Hi, Uttam. Congratulations on a good set of results. My first question is picking on Warren's statement that he expects growth to accelerate towards the second half of the year. When you say accelerate, does it m ean that from that 4.3. Really sorry to interrupt. Ankur sir, your voice is slightly muffled. If you're using any other mode, may I request you to use. Is it better now? This is much better. Yes, sir, please go ahead. I'll repeat my question. My question is that Warren highlighted that he expects acceleration in growth towards the second half of the year. Just wanted to understand that we've achieved 4.3% growth this quarter. Is that the benchmark that we are using to say that the growth would be accelerated in 2H? That is my first question. I think we will maintain guidance in terms of double-digit growth. I think in terms of the quantum of growth that we will drive in Q2, Q3, and Q4, in part will be driven by the ramp-up of the deals that we have closed. Our ability to ramp up is dependent not just upon the teams that we can mobilize, but also the readiness of our customers and the investments that need to be made in infrastructure. I expect growth to be much greater in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year. How that spreads across the quarters will be predicated upon the factors that I've just described. Thank you on that. The other question is, given the investments that we are making, given the wage hikes that are coming up in 2Q, are we sticking to the same guidance that we said in the past, of 18% EBITDA margins by 4Q of the year? Does that also change in light of the investment? As I said, rather than focusing on any specific margin milestone, we would emphasize that we are materially more confident on our growth trajectory that we are seeing. Given the strong demand and the healthy deal momentum, we would seek this opportunity to accelerate growth without compromising on our ambition of quarter-over-quarter margin expansion. As also mentioned in my initial remarks, the quarter two profitability outlook will continue to see a quarter-over-quarter growth, which should take care of the point that you just outlined about the salary increases. Our quarter-over-quarter expansion would continue. Sure. Thank you, and all the best. Thank you. Thank you. Your next question comes from Dev Gulwani with Care PMS. Please go ahead. Thank you for the opportunity. Now that the Es-Tec acquisition and BMW JV. Sorry to interrupt, S ir. Your audio is sounding muffled. May I suggest you use handset please? Sure. Am I audible right now? Yes, sir. Please go ahead. Hello. Now that the Es-Tec acquisition and BMW JV has been more than few quarters, has company started cross-selling additional services to customers like Volkswagen and BMW? How do you expect this to contribute to revenue going forward? The short answer is yes. We've been very pleased with the momentum both at BMW and at VW. Obviously, the Es-Tec acquisition was only completed in November of last year, so the c ross-selling is at a less mature stage than we're seeing at BMW. One of the things that we've been really pleased about is that as part of the building of the partnership with BMW, as part of the due diligence we did at Es-Tec, we took the opportunity to sanity check our strategy with the leadership teams of both of those companies. Again, that's provided us with access, it's provided us with influence. Because of the increasingly good standing of BMW TechWorks, our JV with BMW, that's affording us doors to be opened and influence to be had directly, which we are fully harvesting. Notwithstanding the challenges and the restructuring that VW is going through, we always believed that the platform that we’ve established with Es-Tec will support not just direct business through Es-Tec, but increasingly the strategy of VW to balance their R&D concentration across different geographies. Again, part of the pipeline that we are building is very much consistent with that. Okay. This is for Mr. Uttam. Can you provide the revenue contribution of Es-Tec in Q1 FY 2027? I think I missed this. We do not provide specific details around the acquisitions. The larger business compositions and details have already been shared. We would want to stick to that. Okay. As you mentioned that software-enabled solutions grew by 8.5% QOQ, can you provide the absolute numbers for this quarter, for the software solutions? Well, I would do the same thing as you would do. We can calculate it. We have the total numbers with us. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Your next question comes from Vaibhav Chechani with TCG Asset Management. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thank you for the opportunity. Congratulations on great set of numbers. My question is around Tenneco deal win. This is a big multi-deal win for us. Is it like a new deal win with the existing clients that we have done, and what sort of work we would be doing here? Because it contains business process transformation. Will that be right to assume that mo re sort of offshore nature deal it would be? The ramp-up, so when will they ramp up, and will that be needing any more subcontracting in this? The selection criteria. Thank you. Thanks, Vaibhav, a great question. I was hoping that somebody would ask about Tenneco because it's something I wanted to really celebrate. It is a milestone transaction for us. We've been working with Tenneco in the engineering space for the best part of six years. We established a relationship with them during the pandemic, and we have really cemented a very strong and strategic relationship with the senior leadership team at Tenneco. Tenneco, as you probably might know, was a listed company in the U.S., Apollo bought them out a couple of, I think almost three years ago now, and are accelerating a significant restructuring and transformation that has already delivered significant improvements in the financial results of that company. We are engaging with them not just in engineering, but in areas such as program management and supply chain development, process optimization, and the work that they're doing in and around their digital transformation. The deal was celebrated in one last quarter. We are beginning execution in the second quarter. We will ramp through this fiscal year. I think that it's an important deal for us, not just because of the revenue that it represents, because I think it represents a blueprint of what is likely to go on within the manufacturing space going forward. I think the joint venture with BMW is a best practice demonstration of how to stand up a GCC. I think that that will influence other OEMs, and I think what we've done with Tenneco will really position a great example and a blueprint for what will happen within the extended supply chain. For us, these deals are not just, again, important in terms of the contribution that they represent to growth. They're incredibly important in terms of the demonstration of the strategic nature of the relationships that we are building, also the direction that we believe that deals like this will provide as a signal to the rest of the industry. Okay. Thank you. When can we expect when the deal will be ramping up? Are we expecting any increased cost for the deal ramp-up? We will start ramping up in the second quarter. We will look to scale towards the end of the calendar year and as we finish this fiscal year and move into the next. It's a five-year deal. There is a certain small element of renewal in terms of existing business because we're wrapping that into the deal. The majority of this deal is new business. Certainly there is capacity that we will be discharging from within the company. As we go through the ramp-up, we will certainly be bringing in additional headcount, which by association will represent additional cost. Okay. The last part to it is, what is the count of people we are having with BMW, and are we sharing any profit from the JV in this quarter? Thank you. Yes. As we mentioned, the headcount in our BMW TechWorks has crossed the key milestone of 2,000 engineers. That will continue as the entity grows. In terms of our share of profit, as I'd already outlined, it stands at INR 9.5 crore for Q1. If I include the deferred income piece of INR 8.3, the total contribution from the JV for quarter one stands at INR 17.8 crores. Thank you. Sorry, I missed that part. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Puneet Lineswala with WinVestments. Please go ahead. Hi, Warren. Hi to the entire team. Once again, congratulations for the great numbers, and delivered as committed. I had a question regarding to the non-Tata Motors segment of business which we have in the Tata Group itself, but excluding Tata Motors. If you could throw some light on the business from Tata Advanced Systems, that would be great. We're not going to talk about any specific customers. What I will say is that the growth outside of our anchor accounts is scaling and expanding faster than the growth with our anchor customers. That is very much a part of our diversification strategy, and we expect that to continue, certainly medium to long term. There may be some spikes during different quarters as we secure different program opportunities on both sides of that particular challenge. I mentioned in my opening comments the pride that I have in what we're seeing in automotive outside of the group. We grew that 6.7% quarter-on-quarter and 56% year-on-year, which I think, again, is a great testament to our teams, to the relatio nships that we've got. The fact that we stuck with it during a pause in investments that some of our customers were making as they were grappling to come to terms with tariffs and the slowing of the EV transition. We're very pleased with the bounce back that we've seen there and the growing momentum that we're building. Thank you. My next question was to get an understanding about the trajectory ahead and overall business. I just wanted to understand what are your learnings from the previous couple of years that you would like to optimize moving ahead? That's a great question. It's part of what we're grappling with. I think if I look at learnings for the past, particularly in terms of full vehicles. We did a lot of business with new energy vehicle companies like VinFast and NIO when it was first launched in China. The great news for us in terms of the experience that we had with those companies is that it exposed us to a great deal of innovation, product innovation, process innovation, and speed to market innovation. I think one of the challenges that it represented for us is that that space is relatively volatile in terms of demand. They typically invest in product. They then look to test the market, and depending upon the success of the product in the market, they then invest in follow-on products. Whilst, again, those relationships have been important to us and have taught us a great deal, they've been challenging in terms of the consistency and the predictability of revenue. One of the things that we've really focused upon in the last two years is delivering that same value proposition to the traditional OEMs. There we see demand be ing much more consistent, much more stable, and we see our ability to move from one program to another with the same and increased headcount in a way that's always very difficult to do in the new energy vehicle space. I think the quality of revenue is something that we've worked very hard to improve, and much of the work that we've done has been informed by the experience that we've had in those different areas. I trust that answers the question. Yeah. Thank you so much. I'm really happy you answered those questions really well, and you have my confidence as an investor moving forward. Thank you so much. Thank you. Your next question comes from the line of Karan Uppal with PhillipCapital India. Please go ahead. Yeah. Thanks for the opportunity. Just wanted to check within automotive, how much is the contribution of anchor and non-anchor at this point of time? I am not sure if you have shared this number in the call. Of our overall non-anchor from our services business stands at about roughly 49%. If I look at a distribution of my non-anchor business within the total automotive, it is about 36%. Okay. One, in terms of the outlook for this year, double-digit growth, how are you factoring in the growth within anchor and non-anchor? How is the growth outlook within these two sub-segments? That is one. Second is, in terms of non-anchor, how much is the contribution between U.S. and European? I think the good news for us is that the growth is relatively broad-based, both in terms of anchor and non-anchor, and also geography. The Tenneco deal, for instance, is a U.S. deal, and that will certainly make a major contribution to our growth in that geography. I think the growth is relatively consistent. We are seeing an uptick despite some of the headwinds associated with the performance challenges that some of the German OEMs have got. We're seeing an uptick in Germany. We expect that to continue. We're very ple ased with the momentum in Scandinavia. I think we've shared with investors in the past the fact that we were successful in securing a position within the consolidated strategic supply chain of Volvo, and that is seeing our revenues with that customer scale. The Japanese OEM win that we celebrated last quarter and we're now scaling up is starting to provide opportunity for us to address that white space geography for Tata Technologies. We've not done a great deal in Japan in the past. Not only is that win a sizable win, it's also a very strategically important win for us. A relatively long-winded answer to the question, but I think net, it's broad based and relatively consistent across the different ways in which we measure our revenues. Got it. If I would like to ask, the non-anchor part of the contract, what is the contribution of U.S. versus European OEM expansion? Without breaking it out at a sector level. Okay. The revenue mix of our company today is relatively, again, balanced between the three major regions, Asia, Europe, and North America. Got it. Thanks a lot, and all the best. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, we will take that as our last question for today. I now hand the conference over to Mr. Prateek Rampuria for closing comments. Thank you, everyone, for joining Tata Technologies Q1 FY 2027 earnings conference call. We appreciate your continued interest and engagement. We hope the management discussion and Q&A have addressed your key queries. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to the investor relations team, and we will be happy to assist. Thank you once again for your participation. Operator, you may now close. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Tata Technologies Limited, that concludes this conference. Thank you, everyone, for joining us, and you may now disconnect your lines. Thank you.
