Management noted that EBOs outside Maharashtra typically achieve breakeven within 15 to 18 months, while Maharashtra-based stores reach breakeven within 6 to 9 months. As of the call date, the company holds a liquid balance of approximately ₹78 Cr with zero debt, and management confirmed the capacity to open at least 25 additional FOCOs without requiring debt or equity dilution. The company's marketing cost is maintained at approximately 4% to 5% of top line. The 14KT diamond-studded jewellery segment contributes approximately 35% of revenue, with the balance from 92.5% certified Sterling Silver products. Inventory turnover stands at approximately 3x.
