- In CY 2025, organic capex was INR 44 crores, which nearly doubled compared to INR 20-22 crores in the previous two years. - The increased capex in 2025 was driven by growth-related activities such as adding people, setting up an experience center, and acquiring new facilities in Pune and Chennai. - Future capex will depend on the company's growth trajectory; if growth continues, expansionary capex may persist. - The company sees this as a "good problem" to have and plans to grow further, implying continued strategic investment. - No explicit detailed guidance on future capex amounts was provided, but expectation is to potentially return to maintenance capex levels if growth moderates.
