 in doing business on an international level, including geopolitical volatilities, which could harm our operating results.
The majority of our software development facilities are in India. Currently, we also have facilities in several countries around the world. As we continue to increase our presence outside India, we are subject to additional risks, including risks related to complying with a wide variety of national and local laws, localization requirements, restrictions on the import and export of certain technologies, data privacy and protection regulations, Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) regulations, currency fluctuations, economic and political volatility, pending elections, changes in trade and foreign exchange policies, restrictions on repatriation of funds to India and multiple and possibly overlapping tax structures.
Our current international operations and future initiatives will involve a variety of risks including (i) government trade restrictions, including those which may impose restrictions, including prohibitions, on the exportation, re-exportation, sale, shipment or other transfer of programming, technology, components and/or services to foreign persons and (ii) changes in diplomatic and trade relationships, including new or increased tariffs, trade protections measures, import or export licensing requirements, trade embargoes and other trade barriers.

We may also face difficulties integrating new facilities in different countries into our existing operations, as well as integrating employees that we hire in different countries into our culture.
Pandemics and public health crises, such as COVID-19, affecting the geographies where our or our customers’ operations are located can have an adverse impact on our business.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war have the potential to directly impact our clients. To the extent that such attacks affect or involve the U.S. or Europe, our business may be significantly impacted, as a majority of our revenue is derived from clients located in those regions.
Further, South Asia has from time to time experienced instances of civil unrest and hostilities among neighboring countries. Such activities could disrupt communications, make travel more difficult,
