” I am pleased to share that we started the new financial year on an encouraging note with healthy topline growth of 45% YoY and EBITDA improvement of 18% YoY in Q1 of FY23. This strong performance has come on the back of challenging operating environment premised on continued inflationary pressure in key raw materials and other utilities combined with logistical disruptions and global uncertainties. The global inflationary trend and recession fears have resulted in modest slowdown in demand from some end user segments. Given this backdrop, our performance has been resilient, and I would like to congratulate our workforce for demonstrating agility and traversing through these pressures to deliver stellar performance in a tough environment. We remain committed to drive over businesses through challenging situations and deliver robust performances.”
