Management Comments
Mr. Gunjan Shah
As India’s most trusted shoes brand, we are pleased to report volume-led growth of 5% over Q4 FY25, supported by broad-based performance across channels. This is the second consecutive quarter of accelerating topline growth, further strengthened by sequential improvement during the quarter. Our continued focus on operational efficiency and disciplined cost management helped us generate strong operating cash flows. We also continued to invest in demand generation, consumer engagement and brand relevance, with advertising spends increasing by 1.5 times. Our focus on network penetration, premiumisation, disciplined resource allocation and strong execution remained central to driving performance. During the quarter, we continued to scale key strategic initiatives.
