Brainbees Solutions reported Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue of ₹2,172 crore, up 12% YoY, with India multi-channel growth of 8.9% (impacted by supply chain volatility and diapering competition). International losses reduced 25% YoY as management avoided promotional frenzy. Global Bees delivered 30% core category growth and adjusted EBITDA of ₹69.8 crore (4.9% margin). Management guided for sequential improvement in India growth in FY27, driven by Rocket Bees (own logistics, now in 22 cities, targeting 45-50% of shipments by mid-year) and FirstCry Quick (3-hour delivery pilot in 3 cities). Key risk: sustained irrational competition in diapering could pressure margins and growth.
