KEY HIGHLIGHTS FOR Q4 FY2020-21:

  • The Company has witnessed robust growth in Revenues as well as profitability on QoQ basis as the COVID and Lockdown situation has started to normalize and key services have started being operational.
  • The company has also leveraged technology and process automation initiatives which has resulted into enhanced profitability. The Company's return to normalcy on the business front has been progressing well with month-on-month improvement in the sales. However normalization to pre-COVID levels shall take another quarter.
  • Outlet revenues have been impacted as only our key essential services like Banking, ATM, Mobile recharges and Tele-medicine services have been fully operational however other key services like Assisted Online shopping, Online Pharmacy have recently become operational. Travel services and Logistics have been significantly impacted because of the on-ground field level delivery challenges and travel services being closed due to the lockdown situation.

DEMERGER SCHEME:

  • Vakrangee has recently launched an online digital platform to enable seamless services for the consumer at the comfort of their homes. Through this, company has evolved into the unique O2O (Online to Offline) platform, whereby there is Assistance available through the Physical Kendra network along with Digital Online Services
  • The company has initiated this Unique Hybrid proposition with launch of first Digital service of Total Healthcare services The Company plans to make many more existing Vakrangee services live through this platform.
  • The Company is now launching an All in one : "BharatEasy" Mobile Super App based business platform.
  • By downloading a single Vakrangee's BharatEasy Super App mobile application, our customers would get access to a wide array of Products and Services which would significantly reduce their requirement to switch between multiple apps. This would lead to superior customer experience and convenience for the customer.
  • The Mobile super app platform would be offering various consumer products and services under one umbrella. Consumers would use it every day because our app would offer a seamless, multi-service, integrated, contextualized and efficient experience.

RATIONALE FOR DEMERGER SCHEME

  • The focus is on enhancing strategic flexibility to build a viable platform solely focusing on each of these businesses (Physical as well as Digital).
  • We believe that both the businesses require greater attention and possess high growth potential, due to which the Company has decided for the segregation of the business.
  • To Enable dedicated management focus, resources and skill set allocation to each business, which will in turn accelerate growth and unlock value for the shareholders.
  • The segregation of the business of Physical Vakrangee Kendra Outlets and Digital Vakrangee Kendra (Online based business) would enable focused management to explore the potential business opportunities more effectively and efficiently. This would also set the platform for "value discovery" of the digital business at a later stage with the ultimate objective of maximising shareholder returns.
  • The demerger will unlock value of both business and result in shareholder value maximization.
