Thank you so much. Good evening, everyone, and a very happy New Year to all of you. Thank you for joining us today for our Q3 earnings call. Before we begin, a quick housekeeping note. In the last interaction, we had mentioned that we would try and avoid scheduling earnings calls on Saturdays, and we are glad we could keep this promise this quarter.
As always, the entire senior team is here on the call with us today. We'll begin with the opening remarks from our MD, and then Venkat sir, ED, would take you through the quarter, the main numbers actually and after which we'll open the floor for further questions. (Operator Instructions)
