Sify Technologies (SIFY) reported a 3% year-over-year increase in total revenue to INR 10,533 million for Q2 FY25, driven by a significant 20% rise in EBITDA to INR 2,361 million. However, the company faced a net loss of INR 275 million, largely attributed to ongoing challenges in its digital services segment, which experienced a revenue decline of 30-35%. The firm is shifting its strategy in this area towards an “as-a-service” model, which may prolong losses in the near term as investments are made.
The financial results highlight a robust growth trajectory in network and data center services, with plans to expand capacity and infrastructure in response to rising AI demand. Sify’s upcoming IPO for Sify Infinite Spaces aims to bolster its capital for further data center expansion, although the ownership structure post-IPO may limit benefits for non-Indian ADR holders.
Market professionals should note the dual focus on immediate revenue growth and long-term strategic shifts, particularly in digital services, which could impact overall profitability in the short term while positioning Sify to capitalize on future opportunities in India’s evolving tech landscape.
