| Metric: | Q1FY27 | Q1FY26 | Change |

What the Numbers Show
The divergence between the modest revenue growth and the sharp contraction in net losses suggests operational efficiency gains or cost containment measures are taking effect. While the company continues to operate at a loss, the reduction in the deficit by more than half year-on-year indicates a positive trajectory in managing expenses relative to income generation.
