Revenue guidance

Category 3

→The company expects to return to its growth trajectory post the current consolidation phase, particularly after FY24, with potential revenue growth around 20% (Page 7).
→Growth depends on consumer demand recovery in the US, especially in the discretionary spending segment which has been subdued recently (Page 10).
→The festive season (September to December) is anticipated to boost orders and sales significantly (Page 6).
→Online (e-commerce) business is a strong growth area with rapid past growth and plans to maintain or slightly increase its share of overall revenue (Page 13).
→Increasing wallet share with existing US retailers and expanding product portfolios like lab-grown diamonds are key strategies for growth (Pages 10-11).
→In India, the company is exploring market entry strategies for lab-grown diamonds, but revenue contribution may be seen post FY25 (Page 6-7).

Category 3
