Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PREPARATION Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of "us," "we," or "our," refers to Startek, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). Financial information in this report is presented in U.S. dollars. Business Startek is a leading global provider of technology-enabled business process management solutions. The Company provides omni-channel customer experience, digital transformation, and technology services to some of the finest brands globally. Startek is committed to impacting clients’ business outcomes by focusing on enhancing customer experience and digital enablement across all touchpoints and channels. Startek has more than 32,000 in 11 countries . The Company services over 140 clients The Company offers a repository of digital and omnichannel solutions based on decades of experience in driving growth by putting the customer at the center of our business. Because no one solution fits all, we have crafted solution delivery to suit a variety of industries. Startek has delivery campuses across India, United States, Malaysia, Philippines, Australia, South Africa, Canada During the previous year, the Company had classified Middle East and Argentina operations as 'Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations' and accordingly discussion in the business section pertains to continuing operations of the Company. Basis of preparation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries, except as noted) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. The consolidated financial statements reflects the financial results of all subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and over which the Company exerts control. When the Company does not have majority ownership in an entity but exerts significant influence over that entity, the Company accounts for the entity under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances are eliminated on consolidation. Where our ownership of a subsidiary was less than 100%, the non-controlling interest is reported in our consolidated balance sheet. The non-controlling interest in our consolidated net income is reported as "Net income attributable to non-controlling interests" in our consolidated statement of income (loss). As of December 31, 2022, the consolidated balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP. As such, the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The figures for the corresponding previous year have been regrouped/reclassified wherever necessary, to make them comparable.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	3 Months Ended

Notes to Financial Statements
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, impairment of goodwill, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, leases, provision for doubtful debts and restructuring costs. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and management has made assumption about the possible effect of the global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened inflation, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, currency fluctuations, labor shortages & challenges in supply chain, have the potential to negatively impact the Company. There current macroeconomic conditions may continue or aggravate and could cause the United States economy or other global economies to experience an economic slowdown or recession. We anticipate our business and operations could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States or other major global economy. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue The Company utilizes a five-step process given in ASC 606, for revenue recognition that focuses on the transfer of control, rather than the transfer of risks and rewards. It also provided additional guidance on accounting for contract acquisition and fulfillment costs. Refer Note 5 on "Revenue" for further information. Allowance for Expected Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for current expected credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses which are adjusted to current market and economic conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Refer Note 5 on "Revenue" for further information. Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current maturity of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property plant and equipment, long-term debt, accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the balance lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of initial application on determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASC 842 requires an entity to apply the guidance on impairment of long-lived assets in ASC 360 to right-of-use assets. Therefore, right-of-use assets must be monitored for impairment, like other long-lived non-financial assets, regardless of whether the lease is an operating lease or a finance lease. When impairment indicators exist, an asset (asset group) should be tested to determine whether there is an impairment. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment, are stated at depreciated cost. Additions and improvement activities are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Assets held under finance leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives, as follows: Estimated Useful Life Buildings and building improvements 3-20 years Telephone and computer equipment 3-10 years Furniture, fixtures, and miscellaneous equipment 3-15 years Software 1-7 years We depreciate leasehold improvements associated with operating leases over the shorter of 15 years or remaining life of the lease. Amortization expense related to assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates potential impairments of long-lived assets when it determines that the carrying value of a long-lived asset may not one not, may may not Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of identifiable tangible and intangible net assets purchased. Goodwill is not not not not 4, 7, Intangible Assets We amortize all acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life based on economic benefit as follows: Estimated Useful Life Customer Relationship 8 - 13.5 years Brand 13.5 years Trademarks 15 years Developed Technology 5 years We perform a review of intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not 4, Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and restructuring liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Our debt has a variable interest rate, so the carrying amount approximates fair value because interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to us. Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be supported by market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, such as the use of certain pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions. These unobservable inputs reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information on how we determine fair value for our assets and liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash We consider cash equivalents to be short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity at purchase that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Restricted cash consists of margin money deposit that is contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest as well as ancillary costs such as amortization of financing fees or charges and premium or discount on the borrowings. Borrowing costs (loan processing fee) are capitalized and amortized in the consolidated statement of income using effective interest method. Refer to Note 10, Interest and dividend income Interest revenue is recognized on an accrual basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive such income is established by the reporting date. Government grants and subsidies Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants received on capital expenditure are generally deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset purchased. Grants for revenue expenditure are netted against the cost incurred by the Company. Where retention of a government grant is dependent on the Company satisfying certain criteria, it is initially recognized as deferred income. When the criteria for retention have been satisfied, the deferred income balance is netted against the asset purchased. Government grant in the nature of export incentive is recognized as revenue. Restructuring Charges On an ongoing basis, management assesses the profitability and utilization of our facilities and in some cases, management has chosen to close facilities. Severance payments that occur from reductions in the workforce are in accordance with our post-employment policy and/or statutory requirements that are communicated to all employees; therefore, severance liabilities are recognized when termination of employment is communicated to the employee(s). Other liabilities for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred, instead of upon commitment to an exit plan. A significant assumption used in determining the amount of the estimated liability for closing a facility is the estimated liability for future lease payments on vacant facilities. We determine our estimate of sublease payments based on our ability to successfully negotiate early termination agreements with landlords, a third-party broker, or management’s assessment of our ability to sublease the facility based upon the market conditions in which the facility is located. If the assumptions regarding early termination and the timing and amounts of sublease payments prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to record additional losses, or conversely, a future gain. Refer to Note 7 Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations associated with borrowings (cash flow hedges). When the Company opts to undertake hedge accounting, the Company documents, at the inception of the hedging transaction, the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. The Company documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions at the inception of each hedge relationship. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated. Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, is recognised through OCI and as cash flow hedging reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Income (loss). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the Statement of Income (loss). Derivatives that are not designated as hedges When derivative contracts to hedge risks are not Presentation The entire fair value of a derivative contract is classified as a noncurrent asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the contract exceeds 12 not 12 8 Foreign Currency Matters The Company has operations in Argentina (classified as discontinued operations) and its functional currency has historically been the Argentine Peso. The Company monitors inflation rates in countries where it operates as required by U.S. GAAP. Under ASC 830-10-45-12, an economy must be classified as highly inflationary when the cumulative three-year rate exceeds 100%. Considering the inflation data of Argentina, the Company has considered Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning on July 1, 2018. In accordance with ASC 830, the functional currency of the Argentina business has been changed to USD, which requires re-measurement of the local books to USD. Exchange gains and losses are recorded through net income instead of through other comprehensive income as had been done historically. Translation adjustments from periods prior to the change in functional currency were not removed from equity. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect net effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. We are subject to foreign income taxes on our foreign operations. We are required to estimate our income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) in the period during which such rates are enacted. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not not We consider all available evidence to determine whether it is "more likely than not" We do not not not Employee benefits Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of operations in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences dependent on whether the obligation is attributable to employee services already rendered, relates to rights that vest or accumulate and payment is probable and estimable. The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on quarterly basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions. Stock-Based Compensation We recognize expenses related to all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, based on the grant-date fair values amortized straight-line over the period during which the employees are required to provide services in exchange for the equity instruments. We include an estimate of forfeitures when calculating compensation expenses. We use the Black-Scholes method for valuing stock-based awards. See Note 11, Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used for stock-based awards except where the results would be anti-dilutive. When a net loss is reported, potentially issuable common shares are generally excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Refer to Note 6, Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the business is sold and classified as held for sale, in accordance with the criteria of Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-20 "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations" and ASC Topic 360-10 "Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets". The results of discontinued operations are reported in Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the current and prior period and include any gain or loss recognized on closing, or adjustment of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to a business classified as held for sale are segregated in the current and prior-period balance sheet. All assets and liabilities of the operations classified as held for sale are disclosed as current assets and liabilities in the current year and previous year classification has been retained. The Company allocate interest cost on Debt that is required to be repaid as a result of disposal to discontinued operations. Interest cost on Corporate Debt not directly attributable to discontinued operations is allocated between continuing and discontinued operations in the ratio mentioned in ASC 205-20-45-7 which as follows: Net assets to be sold or discontinued less debt that is required to be paid as a result of the disposal / The sum of total net assets of the entity plus debt other than: 1) debt of the discontinued operations that will be assumed by the buyer; 2) debt that is required to be paid as a result of the disposal transaction; and 3) debt that can be directly attributable to other operations of the entity. If a business is classified as held for sale after the balance sheet but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, the business continues to be classified as held and used in those financial statements when issued or when available to be issued. Refer “Note 3A & 3B – "Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale" in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information and disclosures. Changes in Accounting Policies Except as described below, the Company has applied accounting policies consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“Topic326”), effective January 1, 2023. As a result of the Company’s adoption of this new standard, current expected credit losses(“CECL”) are measured using lifetime “expected credit loss” methodology, replacing the incurred loss model that recognized losses only when they became probable and estimable. The Company changed its accounting policy for recognition and measurement of CECL as detailed below. Topic 326 is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. It requires historical loss data to be adjusted to reflect changes in asset-specific considerations, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. To analyse credit losses on financial assets, the Company applied aging Schedule method to determine expected credit losses. The Company applied Topic 326 using the modified retrospective transition approach, which involves recognizing the cumulative effect of initial adoption of Topic 326 as an adjustment to its opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2023.Therefore, comparative information prior to the adoption date has not been adjusted.

Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block]	On November 10, 2022, the Company has accepted a final offer by Arabian Internet and Communications Services Company (Solutions) to acquire Startek’s indirect 51% ownership interest in its subsidiary Contact Center Company (CCC), which is the Company’s joint venture that operates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. After consideration of the relevant facts, the Company concluded the assets and liabilities of its CCC component met the criteria for classification as held for sale. The Company concluded that the actual and proposed disposal activities represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 205-20. Accordingly, the financial results of the CCC are presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of the business not sold as of the balance sheet date are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as current assets and liabilities held for sale for both periods presented. Interest expense on term loans allocated to discontinued operations represents interest expenses on term loans which were required to be settled upon the sale of the CCC. CCC was forming part of the 'Middle East' segment in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2022. Subsequently, on January 11, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive Sale and Purchase Agreement with Solutions.

Notes to Financial Statements
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]	The Company follows a five-step process in accordance with ASC 606, for revenue recognition that focuses on the transfer of control, rather than the transfer of risks and rewards. Contracts with Customers All of the Company's revenues are derived generally from written contracts with our customers. Our contracts document our customers' agreement to utilize our services and the relevant terms and conditions under which our services will be provided. Our contracts generally do not contain minimum purchase requirements nor do they include termination penalties. Our customers may generally cancel our contract, without cause, upon written notice (generally ninety days). While our contracts do have stated terms, because of the facts stated above, they are accounted for on a month-to-month basis. Our contracts give us the right to bill for services rendered during the period, which for most of our customers is a calendar month, with a few customers specifying a fiscal month. Our payment terms vary by client and generally range from due upon receipt to 60-90 days. Performance Obligations We have identified one main performance obligation for which we invoice our customers, which is to stand ready to provide care services for our customers’ clients. A stand-ready obligation is a promise that a customer will have access to services as and when the customer decides to use them. Ours is considered a stand-ready obligation because the delivery of the underlying service (that is, receiving customer contact and performing the associated care services) is outside of our control or the control of our customer. Our stand-ready obligation involves outsourcing of the entire customer care life cycle, including: • The identification, operation, management, and maintenance of facilities, IT equipment, and IT and telecommunications infrastructure • Management of the entire human resources function, including recruiting, hiring, training, supervising, evaluating, coaching, retaining, compensating, providing employee benefits programs, and disciplinary activities These activities are all considered an integral part of the production activities required in the service of standing ready to accept calls as and when they are directed to us by our clients. Revenue Recognition Methods Because our customers receive and consume the benefit of our services as they are performed and we have the contractual right to invoice for services performed to date, we have concluded that our performance obligation is satisfied over time. Accordingly, we recognize revenue for our services in the month they are performed. We are entitled to invoice for our services on a monthly basis. We invoice according to the hourly and/or per-transaction rates stated in each contract for the various activities we perform. Some contracts include opportunities to earn bonuses or include parameters under which we will incur penalties related to performance in any given month. Bonus or penalty amounts are based on the current month’s performance. Formulas are included in the contracts for the calculation of any bonus or penalty. There is no other performance in future periods that will impact the bonus or penalty calculation in the current period. We estimate the amount of the bonus or penalty using the “most likely amount” method and we apply this method consistently. The bonus or penalty calculated is generally approved by the client prior to billing (and revenue being recognized). The unbilled revenue, where the right to invoice has not accrued is recognized based on service delivery estimate. Practical expedients and exemptions Because the Company’s contracts are essentially month-to-month, we have elected the following practical expedients: • ASC 606-10-50-14 exempts companies from the disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less • ASC 340-40-25-4 allows companies to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. • ASC 606-10-32-2A allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the entity from a customer (for example, sales, use, value-added, and some excise taxes) • ASC 606-10-55-18 allows an entity that has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date (for example, a service contract in which an entity bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided), the entity may recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice. Disaggregated Revenue Revenues by our clients' industry verticals for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively: Three Months Ended March 31, Vertical 2023 2022 Telecom 23,985 24,343 E-commerce & Consumer 15,996 20,143 Financial & Business Services 13,379 13,135 Media & Cable 13,966 15,351 Travel & Hospitality 11,699 12,272 Healthcare & Education 6,646 8,633 Technology, IT & Related Services 3,271 3,619 Other verticals 3,147 3,596 Revenue 92,089 101,092 Allowance for expected credit losses On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC Topic 326, ‘Financial Instruments-Credit Losses’. Accounts receivables, unbilled revenue and other financial assets are in the scope for which assessment is made. In calculating expected credit loss, the Company also considered past payment and recovery trends, and other related information for its customers to estimate the probability of default in the future. As a result of adoption of ASC 326, the Company recognized an incremental allowance for credit losses on its accounts receivable and unbilled revenue, resulting in decrease in these assets by $135, increase in deferred tax assets by $34 and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings by $101 as on January 1, 2023.

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be supported by market activity and are significant to the fair value of the asset, liability, or equity such as the use of certain pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques use significant assumptions. These unobservable inputs reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability: Derivative Instruments The values of our derivative instruments are derived from pricing models using inputs based upon market information, including contractual terms, market prices, and yield curves. The inputs to the valuation pricing models are observable in the market, and as such the derivatives are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following tables set forth our assets and/or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy.

These facilities provide for a combined borrowing capacity of approximately $28 million for a number of working capital products. These facilities bear interest at benchmark rate plus margins between 2.0% and 4.5% and are due on demand. These facilities are collateralized by various company assets and have a total outstanding balance of $14.8 million as of March 31, 2023. Under the Senior debt arrangement, the Company has secured term loan of $165 million. Under the arrangement, the term loan will bear a tiered interest rate and will range between LIBOR plus 375 to 450 basis points, subject to certain financial ratios. The Company is required to meet these financial ratios on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants. The Adjusted Leverage (total net debt / adjusted EBITDA) in respect of the most recently completed relevant period was less than 2.25, hence the applicable margin was set at 375 basis points. On January 10, 2023, the Company has made a prepayment of $41.3 million against senior debt by utilising the proceeds received from redemption of interest in CSS Corp LP, according to clause 8.3 of the facilities agreement, in addition to the scheduled installment of $4.1 million, thus totaling to $45.4 million during the quarter. On April 3, 2023, an indirect subsidiary of the Company completed its previously announced sale of the Company’s indirect 51 percent ownership interest in CCC to Solutions. In accordance with the requirements of the facilities agreement, the Company was required to apply the proceeds received from the CCC disposal towards prepayment of the Company’s senior term loan facility. Gross proceeds received were $68.9 million. Which is subject to true up working capital adjustments and tax payable on the transaction. The Company had filed a consent request with the lenders under its facilities agreement relating to the application of $55 million of the proceeds arising out of the Company's disposal of its ownership interest in CCC, which was accepted by the lenders on April 19, 2023. As per the accepted consent request, the proceeds received pursuant to the disposal of CCC will be utilised in the following order of priority: (i) firstly, prepayment of the outstanding Revolving Facility Loans of an amount of $7 million (together with accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding on the Revolving Facility Loans), (ii) secondly, (in relation to the Term Loans) prepayment in full of the four (4) Repayment Instalments which would otherwise fall due on May 22, 2023, August 22, 2023, November 22, 2023 and February 22, 2024 (together with accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding on the Term Loans), and (iii) lastly, (in relation to the Term Loans) the balance proceeds from the CCC disposal to be applied against the remaining eight (8) repayment instalments on a pro rata basis. In April 2023, the Company has applied $55 million of the proceeds in making a prepayment of $48 million against the senior debt and $7 million against the revolving credit facilities. Accordingly, senior term loan principal repayment schedule has been revised as below: Years Amount Remainder of 2023* 48,000 2024 18,403 2025 42,940 2026 6,067 Total 115,410 * Paid on April 21, 2023 Debt issuance cost represents the amount paid to the Company’s counsel and other third parties and was being amortized over the period of the new term loan.

The program will remain in effect until the same is terminated by the Board of Director’s and will allow the Company to repurchase common stock from time to time on the open market either via block trades or privately negotiated transactions or by other means in accordance with federal securities laws, including Rule 10b5-1 programs or other means at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate and will be funded from our working capital or other financing alternatives. Repurchases will be implemented by the Chief Financial Officer consistent with the guidelines adopted by the board of directors and will depend on market conditions and other factors. Pursuant to the Board of Directors (BOD) meeting held on August 26, 2021, the Board of Director’s approved the Company to carry out a stock repurchase in line with 2004 “Repurchase plan’ up-to $ 2 million. Further in board meeting held on December 14, 2021 the Board of Director’s approved additional $2 million towards a stock repurchase plan. Our stock repurchase programs are intended to programmatically offset the impact of dilution from our equity compensation programs and, subject to market conditions and other factors, to make opportunistic and programmatic repurchases of our common stock to reduce our outstanding share count. Any repurchased shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general corporate purposes. Our stock repurchase plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, impairment of goodwill, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, leases, provision for doubtful debts and restructuring costs. Management believes that the estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are reasonable and management has made assumption about the possible effect of the global macroeconomic conditions, including heightened inflation, changes to fiscal and monetary policy, higher interest rates, currency fluctuations, labor shortages & challenges in supply chain, have the potential to negatively impact the Company. There current macroeconomic conditions may continue or aggravate and could cause the United States economy or other global economies to experience an economic slowdown or recession. We anticipate our business and operations could be materially adversely affected by a prolonged recession in the United States or other major global economy. Although these estimates and assumptions are based upon management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results could differ from these estimates. Any changes in estimates are adjusted prospectively in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]	Revenue The Company utilizes a five-step process given in ASC 606, for revenue recognition that focuses on the transfer of control, rather than the transfer of risks and rewards. It also provided additional guidance on accounting for contract acquisition and fulfillment costs. Refer Note 5 on "Revenue" for further information.
Receivables, Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Allowance for Expected Credit Losses The Company maintains an allowance for current expected credit losses inherent in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses which are adjusted to current market and economic conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Refer Note 5 on "Revenue" for further information.
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]	Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current maturity of operating lease liabilities, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are included in property plant and equipment, long-term debt, accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the balance lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the date of initial application on determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASC 842 requires an entity to apply the guidance on impairment of long-lived assets in ASC 360 to right-of-use assets. Therefore, right-of-use assets must be monitored for impairment, like other long-lived non-financial assets, regardless of whether the lease is an operating lease or a finance lease. When impairment indicators exist, an asset (asset group) should be tested to determine whether there is an impairment. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment, are stated at depreciated cost. Additions and improvement activities are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Assets held under finance leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives, as follows: Estimated Useful Life Buildings and building improvements 3-20 years Telephone and computer equipment 3-10 years Furniture, fixtures, and miscellaneous equipment 3-15 years Software 1-7 years We depreciate leasehold improvements associated with operating leases over the shorter of 15 years or remaining life of the lease. Amortization expense related to assets recorded under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense.

Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangible Assets We amortize all acquisition-related intangible assets that are subject to amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life based on economic benefit as follows: Estimated Useful Life Customer Relationship 8 - 13.5 years Brand 13.5 years Trademarks 15 years Developed Technology 5 years We perform a review of intangible assets to determine if facts and circumstances indicate that the useful life is shorter than we had originally estimated or that the carrying amount of assets may not 4,
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and restructuring liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term nature. Our debt has a variable interest rate, so the carrying amount approximates fair value because interest rates on these instruments approximate the interest rate on debt with similar terms available to us. Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and credit risk. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires that the Company maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that cannot be supported by market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, such as the use of certain pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions. These unobservable inputs reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Refer to Note 9, “Fair Value Measurements,” for additional information on how we determine fair value for our assets and liabilities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash We consider cash equivalents to be short-term, highly liquid investments readily convertible to known amounts of cash and so near their maturity at purchase that they present insignificant risk of changes in value because of changes in interest rates. Restricted cash consists of margin money deposit that is contractually restricted as to usage or withdrawal.
Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Borrowing costs Borrowing costs include interest as well as ancillary costs such as amortization of financing fees or charges and premium or discount on the borrowings. Borrowing costs (loan processing fee) are capitalized and amortized in the consolidated statement of income using effective interest method. Refer to Note 10,
Interest and Dividend Income, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Interest and dividend income Interest revenue is recognized on an accrual basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets. Dividend income is recognized when the Company’s right to receive such income is established by the reporting date.
Government Grants and Subsidies, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Government grants and subsidies Grants from the government are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Company will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants received on capital expenditure are generally deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset purchased. Grants for revenue expenditure are netted against the cost incurred by the Company. Where retention of a government grant is dependent on the Company satisfying certain criteria, it is initially recognized as deferred income. When the criteria for retention have been satisfied, the deferred income balance is netted against the asset purchased. Government grant in the nature of export incentive is recognized as revenue.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities or Restructurings, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Restructuring Charges On an ongoing basis, management assesses the profitability and utilization of our facilities and in some cases, management has chosen to close facilities. Severance payments that occur from reductions in the workforce are in accordance with our post-employment policy and/or statutory requirements that are communicated to all employees; therefore, severance liabilities are recognized when termination of employment is communicated to the employee(s). Other liabilities for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity are recognized when the liability is incurred, instead of upon commitment to an exit plan. A significant assumption used in determining the amount of the estimated liability for closing a facility is the estimated liability for future lease payments on vacant facilities. We determine our estimate of sublease payments based on our ability to successfully negotiate early termination agreements with landlords, a third-party broker, or management’s assessment of our ability to sublease the facility based upon the market conditions in which the facility is located. If the assumptions regarding early termination and the timing and amounts of sublease payments prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to record additional losses, or conversely, a future gain. Refer to Note 7
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In the ordinary course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to reduce business risks which arise from its exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations associated with borrowings (cash flow hedges). When the Company opts to undertake hedge accounting, the Company documents, at the inception of the hedging transaction, the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether the hedging instrument is expected to offset changes in cash flows or fair values of hedged items. The Company documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions at the inception of each hedge relationship. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated. Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, is recognised through OCI and as cash flow hedging reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the Statement of Income (loss). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the Statement of Income (loss). Derivatives that are not designated as hedges When derivative contracts to hedge risks are not Presentation The entire fair value of a derivative contract is classified as a noncurrent asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the contract exceeds 12 not 12 8
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	Foreign Currency Matters The Company has operations in Argentina (classified as discontinued operations) and its functional currency has historically been the Argentine Peso. The Company monitors inflation rates in countries where it operates as required by U.S. GAAP. Under ASC 830-10-45-12, an economy must be classified as highly inflationary when the cumulative three-year rate exceeds 100%. Considering the inflation data of Argentina, the Company has considered Argentina to be highly inflationary beginning on July 1, 2018. In accordance with ASC 830, the functional currency of the Argentina business has been changed to USD, which requires re-measurement of the local books to USD. Exchange gains and losses are recorded through net income instead of through other comprehensive income as had been done historically. Translation adjustments from periods prior to the change in functional currency were not removed from equity.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes reflect net effects of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and amounts used for income tax purposes. We are subject to foreign income taxes on our foreign operations. We are required to estimate our income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate. This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure, together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. The tax effects of these temporary differences are recorded as deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income (loss) in the period during which such rates are enacted. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not not We consider all available evidence to determine whether it is "more likely than not" We do not not not
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Employee benefits Contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to consolidated statements of operations in the period in which services are rendered by the covered employees. Current service costs for defined benefit plans are accrued in the period to which they relate. The liability in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated annually by the Company using the projected unit credit method. Prior service cost, if any, resulting from an amendment to a plan is recognized and amortized over the remaining period of service of the covered employees. The Company recognizes its liabilities for compensated absences dependent on whether the obligation is attributable to employee services already rendered, relates to rights that vest or accumulate and payment is probable and estimable. The Company records annual amounts relating to its defined benefit plans based on calculations that incorporate various actuarial and other assumptions, including discount rates, mortality, assumed rates of return, compensation increases and turnover rates. The Company reviews its assumptions on quarterly basis and makes modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is appropriate to do so. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on its experience and market conditions.
Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]	Stock-Based Compensation We recognize expenses related to all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, based on the grant-date fair values amortized straight-line over the period during which the employees are required to provide services in exchange for the equity instruments. We include an estimate of forfeitures when calculating compensation expenses. We use the Black-Scholes method for valuing stock-based awards. See Note 11,
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Net Income (Loss) Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. For the purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method is used for stock-based awards except where the results would be anti-dilutive. When a net loss is reported, potentially issuable common shares are generally excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive. Refer to Note 6,
Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations The Company reports the results of operations of a business as discontinued operations if a disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results when the business is sold and classified as held for sale, in accordance with the criteria of Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 205-20 "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations" and ASC Topic 360-10 "Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets". The results of discontinued operations are reported in Income from Discontinued Operations, net of tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Income for the current and prior period and include any gain or loss recognized on closing, or adjustment of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell. If the carrying amount of the business exceeds its estimated fair value less cost to sell, a loss is recognized. Assets and liabilities related to a business classified as held for sale are segregated in the current and prior-period balance sheet. All assets and liabilities of the operations classified as held for sale are disclosed as current assets and liabilities in the current year and previous year classification has been retained. The Company allocate interest cost on Debt that is required to be repaid as a result of disposal to discontinued operations. Interest cost on Corporate Debt not directly attributable to discontinued operations is allocated between continuing and discontinued operations in the ratio mentioned in ASC 205-20-45-7 which as follows: Net assets to be sold or discontinued less debt that is required to be paid as a result of the disposal / The sum of total net assets of the entity plus debt other than: 1) debt of the discontinued operations that will be assumed by the buyer; 2) debt that is required to be paid as a result of the disposal transaction; and 3) debt that can be directly attributable to other operations of the entity. If a business is classified as held for sale after the balance sheet but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued, the business continues to be classified as held and used in those financial statements when issued or when available to be issued. Refer “Note 3A & 3B – "Discontinued Operations and Held for Sale" in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for additional information and disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Changes in Accounting Policies Except as described below, the Company has applied accounting policies consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“Topic326”), effective January 1, 2023. As a result of the Company’s adoption of this new standard, current expected credit losses(“CECL”) are measured using lifetime “expected credit loss” methodology, replacing the incurred loss model that recognized losses only when they became probable and estimable. The Company changed its accounting policy for recognition and measurement of CECL as detailed below. Topic 326 is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. It requires historical loss data to be adjusted to reflect changes in asset-specific considerations, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. To analyse credit losses on financial assets, the Company applied aging Schedule method to determine expected credit losses. The Company applied Topic 326 using the modified retrospective transition approach, which involves recognizing the cumulative effect of initial adoption of Topic 326 as an adjustment to its opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2023.Therefore, comparative information prior to the adoption date has not been adjusted. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, No. 2020 04, 848 December 31, 2022. December 2022, No. 2022 06, 848 848, 848 December 31, 2024. 2020 04.
