Gunender Kapur, managing director and chief executive officer said: In Q1 FY26, we continued to deliver a strong performance in both revenue and profitability and demonstrated the strength of our purpose-led strategy of making aspirations affordable for consumers across geographies in India.

Revenue from operations grew by 21% to Rs 3,140.3 crore driven by healthy double-digit SSSG of 10.5% (Adjusted SSSG of 11.4%). Revenue growth YoY is impacted on account of Eid and Ugadi festivals preponement to Q4 FY25 (March25) from Q1 FY26 (April25). Last year, these festivals were in Q1 FY25 (April24).

Growth was mainly driven by continued strength of our own brands portfolio, strong footfall and store additions. During the quarter, we added 23 gross new stores, in-line with our store opening momentum. We expanded our presence in South India (Karnataka, Kerala, among others) and opened a new store in Gujarat and Maharashtra each and are encouraged by the early response.

We maintained a strong profit margin this quarter, propelled by improved cost efficiencies across the board and the benefits of operating leverage that come with our expanding footprint.
