Despite navigating through the demand headwinds persisting during the quarter, we managed to gain volumes and in line with our strategy of driving volume led growth. We continue to drive affordability and reducing complexity across categories. Our initiatives on inventory, merchandising and decluttering worked well and all key inventory metrices improved. We added 19 Franchise Stores in the quarter driven by franchise model focused on town expansion/semi-urban markets Along with cautious control on costs and focus on efficiency and productivity, we continued to manage our inventory while having strong in deployment of fresh merchandise in anticipation of demand revival and consumption uptick.
