The board has also proposed shifting the registered office from Maharashtra to Uttar Pradesh to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Why this matters
The company is undergoing a major transition under new ownership. The partnership with Walking Tree is designed to merge Octaware’s Microsoft-based enterprise solutions with AI and data platform expertise. Investors must monitor how this new management structure impacts the company's bottom line, which saw a significant dip into losses this fiscal year.
