Dear Colleagues,

I would like to thank each of you for your support during these difficult and uncertain times which are a
result of the Pandemic and the country wide lockdown.

The COVID-19 situation, and related uncertainty has severely affected the operations of companies across
many industries. We currently have limited visibility on when the situation can be expected to normalise
and the economy recovering from this once in a life time event. Given the fact that we expect revenues to
be impacted, the priority of our Company is to reduce operating costs. This will need active support from
all our employees especially from the managers in the Company.

We have decided to implement a graded reduction in Total Fixed Compensation (TFC) for managerial level
and above in the Company as per the table below. This will be effective April 2020 and is expected to be
temporary. Your Company shall take a considered view towards restoration of TFC to existing levels
immediately after the situation improves.

These steps are being taken in order to protect the salary of the junior employees. The HR team will reach
out to you to formalise this process and we need your active support in these trying times.

MD & CEO MD 50%

Sr Cluster Manager (Sales Supervisory)
Frontline Sales Managers L6, L7, L8 Nil
Trainee/ Exec/ Sr Exec/ Lead/ Asst Manager/ Dy Manager E0, E1, E2, E3, M0, M1 Nil
* Employees with an annual TFC of INR 7 Lakh and below will be exempt from this reduction regardless of
grade.
I am painfully aware that this change will come as a disappointment to some of us. I trust you will
appreciate that this sacrifice made by the top 15% leaders of the Company will help protect the larger
majority of the employees of the Company.

We have together faced crisis in the past, and have always come out of the situation stronger. I thank
each of you for your understanding and support in these unprecedented times.

Stay safe and stay alert.

Kshitij Jan
MD & CEO
