• Revenue seasonality: First-half revenue typically accounts for 40% of annual business and the second half for 60% due to annual AI factory consultancy billing cycles. Management expects overall company growth to accelerate significantly past historical 30% to 40% YoY levels once the Sydney AI factory goes live in Q3.
• Sharon AI project: The facility is scheduled to complete testing and go live by late November with no expected commissioning delays. The engagement entails an estimated payout of around ₹2,500 crore ($260 million) to Sharon AI while generating a PAT margin between 15% and 20%.
• GPU capex rollout: ESDS plans to deploy approximately 1,500 GPUs at a capex of ₹1 crore per GPU before the end of the financial year. Commercial billing for these deployed GPUs is slated to commence in Q1 of the following fiscal year.
• GPU procurement strategy: With customer demand exceeding a 50,000 GPU funnel and GPU prices expected to increase by 20% on February 4, the company is locking in vendor allocations early to maximize margin expansion.
