Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
International employee cost inflation
International cost growth (20%) outpacing store additions (7-8%) due to investments in newer markets, though management sees this as temporary.
Currency exposure on imported frames
Imported frames subject to rupee depreciation; natural hedge from international earnings partially offsets this but remains a medium-term concern.
Customer experience risk at scale
CEO's top concern is stretching too thin as store count grows; NPS of 80.9 is a leading indicator being monitored closely.
