Thank you, Shiwei. Good morning everyone. Thank you for joining on the call. We have done well in this quarter despite the challenges faced by the most Indian businesses due to the transition to the new tax regime called GST. This reinforces our belief that Indian IT market is on the upswing and the digital transformation is happening. And we remain determined to exploit the resulting opportunities. Our products and services are being validated on multiple fronts. Our engagements with the Indian enterprises validate the resilience of our product and services, while those with the government validate our capability to implement on a large scale. Let me now bring Kamal, our CEO to expand some of the business validates for the past quarter. Kamal?

Yes. Thank you, Raju. At the beginning of the financial year, we had announced our vertical go-to-market strategy across all the business segments. I am happy to share that a mix of our vertical strategy and our unique positioning as an ICT services provider and integration partner for our clients, has resulted in sustained growth in order book, revenue and profitability. Our business outcome oriented usage models for key verticals, over and above our services capabilities, will be a significant differentiator in our growth journey going forward. As announced in the last quarter, we will be presenting our business results under the following categories. A, telecom-centric services, which will comprise off managed data services on our domestic and international network. Termination of voice calls over IP in our domestic and international partner networks. B, data center-centric IT services, which will comprise off managed colocation services at Sify’s six Tier 3 data centers, cloud services, application-led services and technology integration-led services. Allow me to elaborate on the highlights of the two services for the same quarter. I will start with telecom-centric services. Revenue for the data network and managed services business grew 10% over the same quarter last year. Investment in expanding the network infrastructure continues as Sify’s domestic network now reaches more than 1550 cities. The 7th Global PoP at Marseilles went live this quarter. Hyperscale network now connects 45 data centers and network nodes and six public and private cloud nodes. The global capacity on the Sify network doubled over the last quarter. Key wins during the quarter were from a power distribution company, a public sector insurance company, a public sector bank and a leading hyper local ecommerce player. Other wins during the quarter include those from a large MSO, a leading private trust and a smaller banking…
