56.2 million users globally, with more than 300 million tones played every day. The
business expanded its footprint within the America Movil group through a brownfield
deployment with Claro Peru, the group's second operating company to adopt OnMobile's Tones
service. The launch added an existing subscriber base of approximately 90,000 users. In
Ethiopia, a greenfield deployment with Safaricom grew to over 750,000 subscribers within
eight months of commercial launch, supported by strong operator collaboration and
execution.
Videos & Infotainment

MATERIAL CHANGES FOR THE PERIOD BETWEEN END OF THE
FINANCIAL YEAR AND THE DATE OF THE REPORT
There have been no material changes for the period between end of the
financial year 2025-26 and the date of this report affecting the financial position of the
Company.
OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Building on the momentum established last year, FY 25-26 marked another
year of significant progress in driving operational and executional efficiency across the
organization. We continued to deepen our investments in automation, AI-driven monitoring,
and intelligent engineering tools, while expanding their footprint into newer areas such
as voice campaign automation, MLOps, and AI-augmented quality assurance.
OARM (OnMobile Automation and Release Management) continued to be the
bedrock of our Automation and RPA strategy. This year, OARM extended its reach beyond
traditional deployment, migration, and maintenance workflows to automate voice campaign
provisioning and orchestration for our Tones product, materially reducing manual effort
and accelerating campaign go-live. In parallel, OARM expanded into automating the MLOps
pipelines required to support our growing portfolio of ML initiatives, covering model
training runs, environment provisioning, deployment, and lifecycle management. These
extensions reaffirm OARM's position as a strategic enabler of operational excellence and
reinforce our leadership in automation-driven engineering practices.
The impact of AI on development and testing efficiency has been one of
the most significant shifts in our engineering operations this year. AI tools are now
extensively used for internal tool development, prototyping, wireframing, and proofs of
concept, where they have dramatically compressed iteration cycles. We have also developed
and deployed AI agents for security testing of code, automated code review, and test case
generation. Within QA specifically, agents now author nearly 50% of our test cases, while
the execution of test cases is almost fully automated, freeing our engineers to focus on
exploratory testing and higher-order quality assurance. For production code development,
however, we have taken a deliberately cautious stance. While integrated and standalone AI
coding tools are used by our developers, we consciously cap the efficiency gain at around
35% by layering in additional human review, security checks, and design conformance gates.
This ensures that AI-generated code remains secure, maintainable, and faithful to project
intent, balancing velocity with the engineering discipline our customers expect.
On the AIOps front, our anomaly detection routines, which were
initiated last year, have now matured into production-grade capabilities that proactively
flag issues across our operational landscape. The underlying models have been trained on
the vast volumes of logs and metrics generated by our platforms, using ML routines tuned
to the operational characteristics of each product. As a result, these routines have
helped reduce instances of reactive incident management by approximately 15%, shifting a
meaningful portion of our operational posture from firefighting to anticipation. We expect
this number to improve further as we continue to retrain and fine-tune the models with
richer datasets and incorporate feedback from incident closures into the learning loop.
Taken together, these initiatives have meaningfully strengthened our
foundation for scalable, intelligent, and high-velocity engineering operations. As we look
ahead, we will continue to invest in automation, AI-driven innovation, and engineering
excellence expanding the reach of OARM, deepening our use of AI agents responsibly,
and advancing our AIOps capabilities to sustain and extend the gains realized this year.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
ONMO+: Native Apps
A major effort this year was building native apps for ONMO+, our cloud
gaming platform, across a diverse ecosystem of devices including web desktop, web mobile,
Android mobile, Android TV, Samsung Smart TVs (Tizen), and LG Smart TVs (webOS), all from
a single shared codebase.
We adopted a React-based architecture as the core cross-platform
foundation, enabling approximately 90% of the codebase to be shared across all six
platforms. Each platform is served from this shared layer, with only targeted
platform-specific components handling devicelevel requirements.
Delivering a consistent, high-quality experience across such a varied
device landscape required significant research into the constraints and capabilities of
each platform. We developed techniques to optimise UI performance across different TV
operating systems and device hardware profiles, and devised a hybrid architecture to
address platform-specific streaming challenges, ensuring seamless interaction between
shared and native components.
The apps are now in the final stages of submission to their respective
stores.
Project DialSense: Text Channels Acquisition
Optimiser
Acquisition campaigns on non-digital channels such as outbound
dialling, SMS and USSD have traditionally relied on broad, untargeted subscriber lists,
resulting in low answer rates, weak conversion and elevated acquisition cost. Project
DialSense was undertaken to address this long-standing inefficiency in our Tones business
through a data-led approach to subscriber selection.
At the core of DialSense is a machine learning model that scores and
ranks the target subscriber base by likelihood of conversion, enabling campaigns to focus
on the segments most likely to respond. A distinctive feature of the system is a natural
language interface that allows the Tones business team to query the model, examine
outcomes and adjust targeting criteria in plain language, without requiring data science
expertise. This design choice was central to ensuring that the capability could be
operated directly by the business and embedded into day-to-day campaign workflows.
DialSense is live with few operators, where initial deployments have
validated a meaningful uplift in acquisition performance alongside a reduction in customer
acquisition cost across outbound dialling, SMS and USSD channels. The solution is designed
to be portable across all Tones operators and extensible to other engagement channels,
positioning it as a reusable building block for acquisition optimisation across the wider
portfolio.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
OnMobile currently supports Sankara Eye Foundation, India, which works
in the space of eliminating curable blindness, and VAANI, which works in the space of
communication and enablement of hearing-impaired kids in remote parts of Karnataka. In the
fifth year of our partnership with Sankara, we supported in Vision Restoration cataract
Surgeries for Adults in Sankara Eye Hospital, Anand, Gujarat for approximately 35 people.
We are happy to support Sankara Eye Foundation in the Gift of Vision
program operates by integrating with a community, capitalizing on pre-existing community
networks and a highly efficient patient care system. It is aimed at reaching out to rural
poor at their doorstep and provide free of cost eye care. It is one of the most far
reaching technologically enabled program, covering rural areas over 500 km radius of
Sankara Eye Hospital. Rural outreach camps are organized impairment to identify
beneficiaries with vision.
Similarly, VAANI - the organization encourages families to actively
participate in understanding and communicating with their hearing-impaired children,
