Commenting on the results, Anoop Bector, Managing Director said, “It has been another strong quarter for us on the revenue and margin front. Our revenues for the second quarter increased by 19% and PAT by 70% on a YoY basis. We continue to focus on distribution, marketing, premiumization within existing product segments, and providing customers with differentiated products both in domestic and international markets. This has resulted in revenue and margin expansion.
We believe there is a lot of room for the company to increase distribution reach in the existing markets in North India. We remain committed to strengthening our footprint across other states in the coming years for both business segments. Our focus also continues to be on the export and QSR businesses, where we are supported by the growth of existing customers and the addition of new ones. Geographical diversification backed by our distribution expansion, premiumization, and marketing will be the key growth drivers for the company in the coming quarters”
