- Strategic Themes: The company highlighted its transition from a single-category (water purifiers) to a multi-category health and hygiene company. Strong growth was reported in emerging categories like robotics (now over 65% of the vacuum cleaner category), air purifiers (2.7x growth in FY26), and water softeners.
- Service Business: AMC bookings saw double-digit growth for the fourth consecutive quarter. A major initiative to unlock the filter replacement opportunity is underway, involving new product assortments, distribution, and consumer awareness campaigns.
- Price Increase: In response to input cost inflation, the company implemented a calibrated price increase of 6-7% on average across categories in April 2026.
- FY27 Outlook: Management's key priorities are to step up revenue growth and drive efficiency. The aim is to at least hold margins for the full year FY27, acknowledging headwinds from input cost inflation. Growth is expected to be driven by volume and not just the recent price increase.
