That said, the company remains loss-making, and investors should track whether the pace of loss reduction continues in subsequent quarters or whether this improvement proves to be a one-off, before drawing conclusions about a clear path to profitability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#000000;margin:14px 0;\">Also read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/vedanta-power-nifty-500-inclusion-what-it-means\">Vedanta Power Set to Enter Nifty 500: Should Investors Take Note?<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style:italic;color:#000000;margin:14px 0;\">Also read &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/blogs\/venu-srinivasan-tata-sons-ipo-vote-tvs-investors\">Why TVS Group&#8217;s Venu Srinivasan Is at the Centre of the Tata Sons IPO Fight<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ESDS_Software_Solution_Profit_and_Revenue_Both_Move_Higher\"><\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/esds\/esds-software-solution-share-price-today\">ESDS Software Solution<\/a>: Profit and Revenue Both Move Higher<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/esds\/esds-software-solution-share-price-today\">ESDS Software Solution<\/a> delivered a cleaner quarter, with consolidated profit rising 14 percent year-on-year to Rs 29.3 crore from Rs 25.7 crore.
