The full read
Orient Technologies ended FY26 with a 91% collapse in profitability. Consolidated profit after tax fell to ₹4.57 crore from ₹50.43 crore the previous year. The trigger was the loss of a major hyperscaler customer, which forced the company to absorb asset write-offs and accept severe margin compression. To compound the operational distress, CFO Gourav Modi announced his resignation. He will leave the company on June 25, 2026. The loss of a hyperscaler client is rarely a temporary setback, and the timing of the CFO's exit suggests a difficult transition period ahead. Investors are left with a smaller business, a damaged bottom line, and a leadership vacuum in the finance department.
