While revenue has declined – partly due to the loss of low margin business and customer shifts to alternate channels – gross margin performance has improved, leading to stronger Ebitda margin over last quarter. This reflects our commitment to driving sustainable, quality-led growth with a strong focus on profitability. Encouragingly, we are seeing healthy traction across our non-SMS product lines, validating our diversification strategy. Our strategic initiatives include expansion of RCS based solution revenues, deepening partnerships with global system integrators, expanding the footprint of our MNO firewall solutions, and shaping our approach to the telecom API opportunity.' 'As we continue to execute with discipline and clarity in a rapidly evolving communication landscape, we remain confident in our ability to build a more resilient and value-accretive business,' Gupta added.
