In recent years, Cera has widened its offerings and enhanced its distribution network. In addition, through equal focus on product portfolio expansion and geographical increase of large format customer touchpoints, recently added in Bangalore (Karnataka) and Morbi (Gujarat). The Company continues to generate healthy cash position and established a strong balance sheet. The strategic steps taken in recent years are today providing us the necessary strength and resilience to successfully overcome business cycles and challenges.

We strongly believe that Cera, today, is well poised with high quality products, higher brand recall, and comprehensive product segmentation. Recently established verticals have attained critical mass and are at inflection points. We expect Cera’s business momentum to be supported by improving macro-economic situation and due to various initiatives regularly undertaken by the Company.”
