Dear Shareholders,
As one of the founders, I take immense pride in leading this
35-year-young Company; and I use the word young deliberately.
Because even though we have decades of engineering excellence behind
us, our spirit remains driven by curiosity, courage, and an unquenchable desire to
improve. We have persevered through the years, constantly adapting to stay relevant to our
marquee customers, many of whom are Fortune 500 companies and have been with us for
decades. In an industry shaped by rapid transformation, Sasken has remained grounded in
purpose and disciplined in execution.
At the heart of Sasken's resilience lies our
Chip-to-Cognition DNA - the ability to connect silicon to software,
edge to cloud, AI and machine learning. It is this deep, horizontal strength across the
product lifecycle that continues to power our relevance in an increasingly connected
world. We have built this journey by combining engineering rigour with an enterprise
mindset to create impact, not just code.
As we reflected on this legacy and looked ahead, it became evident that
our next phase of growth required sharper focus and scaled ambition. This thinking gave
rise to our 60x4x3 strategy, a bold, enterprise-wide mission to:
Focus and grow at least 60 of our
Marquee customers
Grow and sustain them to at least $4 Mn each and if the
potential is larger, then work on growing them into even larger accounts
In 3-year timeframe - by FY '27

As an Organization, the mission 60x4x3 is the north star that has
aligned every function and every level of the Organization. It has helped us sharpen our
focus, challenge our limits, and energize our teams with clarity of purpose.
Over the past five quarters, we have delivered consistent revenue
growth, closing FY 2025 with 3550.91 crores in consolidated revenues, a 35.6% YoY
increase. Quarter after quarter, this growth trajectory has reaffirmed the choices
we've made and the direction we've taken. More importantly, we now see 17+ of
our customers contribute $1 million+ in revenue. During the last year, we have seen a
steady increase in the number of active customers, reflecting the growing trust in
Sasken's capabilities. Our portfolio shows a healthy balance of long-standing anchor
accounts and newer, fast-scaling relationships.
The customer breakup by revenue is progressively shifting
towards higher-value clients, reinforcing the effectiveness of our 60x4x3 mission and our
focus on driving sustainable, high-impact partnerships. Credit for this entire growth goes
to every Sasian, who have worked relentlessly with the single-minded focus to march
towards this mission of ours.
This year, we deepened our capabilities across high-impact
technologies:
Generative AI, where we launched accelerators to expedite software
delivery and intelligent log analysis.
Automotive SDVs, ADAS, and Digital Cockpits, through scalable
software frameworks and Virtual Cockpit platforms.
NTN Satellite Communications, where we are contributing to D2D
innovation, gateway development, and next-gen MSS/LEO solutions.
Cybersecurity and Product Security, with a shift-left focus to
embed compliance and resilience from the design stage.
To achieve these, we took a conscious call to proactively invest into
the development of these technologies, which we can take to our customers. We will see
this resulting in deeper engagement with our customers in the coming years.
We also took some bold actions on how to grow business in an inorganic
manner. We realized that some of the areas which are expected to be high growth areas and
market requires us to think outside the box. Silicon Design, ODM and setting up of Sasken
Japan Co. Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary are such decision we took to build new vectors of
growth particularly from domain and market perspectives.
Our focused push in Sasken Japan subsidiary is gaining
strong momentum. We are setting up regional teams, engaging directly with OEMs and
Tier-1s, and building a reputation for quality and trust.
Strategic investment in Sasken Silicon
Technologies Pvt. Ltd. & Sasken Silicon Inc. has strengthened
our capabilities in semiconductor design and foundry services; an area of strategic
importance as silicon becomes central to innovation across sectors.
Acquisition of Borqs International Holding Corp along
with its wholly owned subsidiaries, reflect our strategic commitment to become a comprehensive,
end-to-end ODM player. This move strengthens our ability to deliver integrated
value across the smart device ecosystem, from concept and design to development and
manufacturing. It allows us to collaborate more closely with customers and ecosystem
partners, enabling us to drive innovation in scale, enhance relevance, and deepen our
impact across markets.
These strategic investments are creating a differentiated Sasken, one
that is deep in domain expertise, rich in partnerships, and ambitious in its goals.
While our business is growing, what truly excites me is the cultural
transformation underway. Teams across Sasken are taking more ownership, making faster
decisions, and pushing for outcomes. We have focused deeply on goal alignment across all
levels, and this is evident in the sharpness of execution we are now seeing. Every team,
every individual now sees how their work contributes to the success of our 60x4x3 mission.
Our focus on people is equally relentless. FY 2025 saw one of the
lowest attrition rates in the past 17 years, a direct outcome of our investment in
engagement, recognition, learning, and growth. From new leadership development programs
and DEI initiatives to a reinvigorated employer brand, we are nurturing a high-trust,
high-performance culture. Our Great Place to Work? recertification and recognition by
Avtar Seramount are proud validations of our people-first approach.
At the same time, our brand visibility across customers, partners, and
talent is at its highest. We are now being seen and heard in conversations that matter:
At Mobile World Congress, CES, Satellite Show, Autotech Show
and other industry forums, where our teams have showcased cutting-edge solutions.
In domains like automotive SDVs, 5G/6G, satellite
communications, and on-device AI, where Sasken is partnering in programs that
shape the future.
Our partnerships with AWS, ARM, BlackBerry, Databricks,
and more continue to grow, enabling us to co-innovate and co-deliver differentiated value
to our customers across automotive, semiconductors, smart devices, telecoms, and
industrials.
As I look at FY26, I am filled with optimism and confidence. Our
priorities are clear:
Razor sharp focus on how to grow the customer accounts and be
relevant to them all the time, show continued success in our 60x4x3 mission,
Successfully integrating Borqs to create a unified, agile, and
build an ODM business.
Scaling our Japan Operations and Sasken Silicon,
Deepening our investments in AI, product security, digital
twins, cloud-native development, and cyber-resilient design.
Continuing to build a company that is transparent, inclusive,
and driven by accountability at all levels.
To our shareholders, partners, customers, and employees thank
you for believing in Sasken. We are not just building a company that grows; we are
building one that endures, inspires, and leads.
The best is yet to come.
Warm regards, |
