Sampath Ravinarayanan, Founder, Chairman & Managing Director said, “Q1 FY27 marks the first quarter of AXISCADES’ transition into a focused manufacturing, products and solutions company built for non-linear growth. Revenue per employee is set to rise from Rs 42 lakh in FY26 to Rs 1.2 crore in FY27 — more than a threefold gain, and the clearest measure of the shift from a people-led services model to a products and manufacturing one.
The strength of the businesses we have chosen to scale is increasingly visible. Defence revenue more than doubled. XiDA added two of the world’s largest technology companies as customers. Aerospace Manufacturing is being rebuilt through organic scale-up and acquisition, and Space is now established as our fourth growth platform.
With the non-core divestment substantially complete, we are directing capital and management bandwidth towards Aerospace Manufacturing, Defence Systems, XiDA and Space, in line with our Power 930 roadmap.”
