- The Company targets mid to high-teen revenue growth over the next few quarters, outperforming overall industry growth. - Distribution expansion is key, with plans to increase direct reach outlets from 2.5 lakh to 3.4 lakh by March 2024 and doubling distribution numbers in key regions like Delhi NCR. - New geographical expansions include aggressively scaling in South and West India over the next 4-5 years, and entering untapped markets such as Punjab and upper north. - Bakery and biscuit segments recorded 25%-26% growth recently, driven largely by volume and distribution-led growth with 5%-6% price increases. - New capacity additions (e.g., Rajpura and Khopoli plants) will support scaling volumes, with capacity utilization projected to rise (e.g., biscuits at 95% currently expected to grow with new lines). - The Company is also focusing on premiumization, marketing initiatives, and product mix improvement to drive growth.
