04 · Why it moved
Why the quarter looked the way it did
What drove revenue
Revenue expansion was supported by strong performances across Exclusive Retail, Large Format Outlets (LFOs), and Online channels.
The online channel experienced exponential scaling, rising from ₹0.89 crore to ₹10.76 crore and expanding its share of total revenue from 1% to 13%.

Multi-Brand Outlet (MBO) revenue moderated 20.1% year-on-year to ₹12.74 crore due to the deferment of certain planned dispatches into the subsequent quarter.
What drove margins
Gross margin expanded by 193 basis points year-on-year to 41.0%, supported by disciplined merchandise planning, tighter inventory control, and a favorable channel mix.
