Commenting on the results, Mr Aditya Kumar Halwasiya, Managing Director said,
“We are delighted to announce a good set of numbers for the quarter. We have continued to bring in efficiencies in overall production and domestic distribution.
The Company’s foray into B2C in India in the last seven months has resulted in net revenues of ₹ 12.50 crore and we are going to expand this pie substantially moving forward. The improved margins are very well maintainable in the long run. Once the additional capacities are up and running with matching orders from across the World, we will further get the benefit of the scale of operations.
As a part of our Indian B2C expansion, we have built our presence across over 50,000 retail touch points in a short time and are on the horizon to reach 1,00,000 touch points by the end of the current calendar year.
We are prioritizing our brand expansion by initially focusing on general trade and then modern trade in the domestic market. Internationally we would continue to seek opportunities to expand our brand presence through partnerships with distributors that have a strong presence in their respective markets.”
