Strategic Outlook and Retail Expansion
Commenting on the performance, Ms. Amisha Jain, MD & CEO, stated that FY26 marked another strong year, highlighting the quality and consistency of the company's earnings trajectory. She noted that the focus remains on accelerating growth across marquee brands by expanding into adjacent categories, deepening consumer engagement, and increasing the share of direct channels. These efforts will be supported by continued investments in technology and AI, along with a nimble supply chain.
Management has expressed confidence that overall demand remains steady, providing a supportive backdrop for continued double-digit revenue growth. For FY27, the company has set objectives to grow revenues at 12-15% with acceleration in adjacent categories, while operating leverage is expected to aid EBITDA and PAT margin expansion. Central to its retail expansion strategy is a plan for a gross opening of approximately 150 stores, largely through the cost-effective FOFO (Franchise Owned Franchise Operated) route, which limits capital outlay while enabling scale. The company also aims for higher net square footage addition compared to FY25, and targets the share of direct channels (retail + online B2C) to grow by 100-200 basis points.
