Description of state of companies affair The financial results of the your Company have been affected by trends and changes in the economy and travel industry at large. Toward the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, a severe second wave of COVID-19 infections emerged in India that has been more severe than the first wave that occurred in 2020. This second wave led to the re-imposition, since April 2021, of states-wide travel restrictions, lock downs and curfews across India, with some such measures going on till late, resulting in a significant negative impact on revenue. The extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, results of operations, cash flows and growth prospects remain uncertain and would be dependent on future developments. These include, but are not limited to, the severity, extent and duration of the pandemic, its impact on the travel industries and consumer spending, rates of vaccination and the effectiveness of vaccinations against various mutations or variants of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continued to implement certain measures and modified certain policies in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, the Company largely automated its re-scheduling and cancellation of bookings and provided customers greater flexibility to defer or cancel their travel plans. In addition, the Company also undertook certain cost reduction initiatives, including implementing salary reductions and freezes and work from home policies, renegotiating fixed costs such as rent, deferring non-critical capital expenditures, reducing marketing expenses and renegotiating supplier payments and contracts. The Company believe these cost control measures have helped mitigate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business.
