Rajendra Gandhi MD said that the company has experienced a change in its CFO and CEO positions in the last 1.5 years. STOVEKRAFT is now looking to bring in a new leadership team and have five executive positions that will take over the current leadership team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:09:54] Devansh Nigotia from SIMPL asked about the employee count and its cost increasing.

Rajendra Gandhi MD answered that the company continues to maintain the same cost percentage, but because of revenue growth, the absolute number has gone up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:15:45] Devansh Nigotia from SIMPL asked about the absolute amount of inventory and trade receivables.

Rajendra Gandhi MD said that during the first two quarters of the last fiscal year, due to the effects of COVID-19, there was a lot of restraint in terms of costs such as travel and marketing expenses. This was further bolstered by increased demand from COVID-19, leading to higher sales. This year, the numbers are more normalized and reflective of what to expect without the added effects of COVID-19.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>[00:35:26] Pankit Shah from Dinero Wealth asked if it\u2019s not logical to invest in advertising and marketing based on expected revenue rather than spending a set amount and then not seeing the expected return.
