I'm happy to state that all the new hubs in Pune, Bengaluru, and West Bengal are up and running, with steady footfall. We remain optimistic about achieving break-even across all centres within the 12 months with 1 hub centre in Bengaluru on track to reach break-even earlier than the estimated timeline. Im also pleased to share that our Nizamabad hub centre has achieved break-even within 2 quarters of its full-fledged operations.

Looking ahead, we would be commissioning 3 hubs in Q2 FY26 across our Core Geography and West Bengal. The other 2 hubs in West Bengal are also on track to be operationalized in 2nd half of FY26.
