  • We have witnessed growth across geographies amongst our product categories and price ranges in Q4.

  • Until now, 508 of our employees have received their first dose of vaccination i.e 27% (~80% of employees above 45 years of age) of our employee strength (including white and blue collared permanent employees).
  • Due to sporadic lockdown imposed in several regions in April, demand has been impacted.
  • With most of the states announcing lockdown from end of April, the activity is expected to be impacted and normalcy likely to be restored by Q2.
