Form S-1 submitted to the Commission on July 19, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”).
For
your convenience, the Staff’s comments have been restated below and the Company’s responses are set forth immediately under
the restated comments. Unless otherwise indicated, defined terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Registration Statement.
We have submitted Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Amendment”) with the Commission on the date

You

shares outstanding as of March 31, 2024. To the extent you issued shares after the balance sheet date, revise to disclose such issuances
in the subsequent events footnote. Refer to ASC 855-10-50-2.

In response to this comment, the Company advises the Staff that 577,176 shares were issued in July of 2024, after the auditors’

We
note that on July 16, 2024, you issued 250,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) each to both
the company’s CEO and President. Please tell us, and revise to clarify, the vesting
terms for the RSUs. In this regard, explain whether Messrs. Bhaskar and Datta will each receive
125,000 fully vested RSUs upon completion of the offering and another 125,000 fully vested
RSUs once the share price exceeds 10% of the initial public offering price, or explain the
vesting terms for each. To the extent the 250,000 RSUs that will be issued upon the offering
are fully vested RSUs, revise to address the following:
●
Discuss the impact of the RSU shares on the
number of shares outstanding after the offering.
●
Include a presentation of pro forma earnings
per share in the forepart of the filing reflecting the impact of the vesting of 250,000 RSUs and the cash bonus that will be paid upon
the offering, along with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator. Refer to Rule11-01(a)(8) of Regulation S-X.
●
Disclose the impact of these awards on Capitalization
and Dilution as well as Use of Proceeds to the extent that the cash bonus will be paid out of the proceeds from the offering.
●
Include a discussion of the RSU grants and
cash bonus, including the estimated future financial impact, in the subsequent events footnote to your consolidated financial statements.
In your response, provide us with the fair value of common stock used to value the RSU grants.

to forego the RSUs. At Messrs. Bhaskar’s and Datta’s request, the board of directors of the Company
rescinded the RSU grants. Please be advised, the Company removed the disclosures related to such RSU grants from page 49
of the S-1/A.

Recognition, page F-7

We
note your response to prior comments 6 and 7. Please explain further how you determined that configuration, implementation, and training
services are one performance obligation and specifically address how you considered the guidance in ASC 606-10-25-21. In your response,
tell us when each of these services are performed and how you determined that each of these services should be recognized over the
term of the contract.
Response: In
response to this comment, the Company advises the Staff that after considering the guidance in ASC 606-10-25-21, we note that these
performance obligations are highly interdependent and inseparable. Accordingly, the configuration, implementation and
training services are collectively technical support and considered to be a single performance obligation. Services
can be performed at any point on an as-needed basis during the term of the contract. Accordingly, the performance obligations are
recognized over the term of the contract.
Remaining
Performance Obligation (RPO), page F-8
5.
We
note your revised disclosures in response to prior comment 8 where you indicate that the short-term RPO will be recognized over the
next 12 months while the long-term RPO will be recognized over 36-60 months. Tell us why none of your remaining RPOs will be recognized
in the next 24 months. In addition, please provide us with a breakdown by year of when you expect to recognize the remaining long
term RPOs. Lastly, tell us how your current disclosures reflect the appropriate time bands for your arrangements, or revise as necessary.
Refer to ASC 606-10-50-13.
Response:
In response to this comment, the Company advises the Staff that the disclosure on page F-8 has been corrected to reflect
long-term RPO as beyond 12 months. Considering the operating cycle for current and non-current classifications is 12 months, and
as required under ASC 606-10-50-13, the time bands for our arrangements are reflected as less than 12 months and greater than
12 months. Additionally, the Company has updated the table on page F-18 to reflect the appropriate time bands, as requested
by the Staff.
