Commenting on financial results, Mr. Nikhil Chopra, CEO and Wholetime Director, JBCPL said, “The organisation continues its strong performance well in the first quarter of the financial year. On the domestic front, we are one of the fastest growing companies in the industry. Our new GoTo-Market(GTM) model has been implemented and early signs are encouraging, which is reflected in the strong performance of flagship brands and new launches. While demand trends in international business continue to be volatile (given the COVID situation); our key markets like US, S Africa have outperformed and even Russia/ CIS are seeing gradual signs of revival. We expect the performance to improve in select pockets of our international business. Going forward, our priority continues to build on cost efficiency measures while maintaining the same growth momentum”
