We are quite unhappy with this performance because entire HPC portfolio has grown by 17% with this being an outlier... oral care only where we've seen a muted performance of around 6-7% growth.

We are committed to increasing our margins going forward... we will prioritize our margin to our media going forward while we are committed to doing more media.

If the summer turns out to be acute this will do very well. If not because of the low basis still we'll be better off than last year in any case.

We outpaced the category growth and gained market shares of 193 pips with overall volume market share touching all-time high of 20%.

The herbal segment grew 530 basis points ahead of non-herbal segment highlighting a strong and sustained consumer shift towards the natural and herbal oral care products.

GST impact is in the range of around INR 100 crore, give or take for us, which is in the range of around 3%-4% for us.

We are looking at saving initiatives also in the first half, saving initiatives in the range of around INR 60 odd crores.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Dabur Ventures with capital allocation of INR 500 crore over the next few years.

The quarter witnessed sequential improvement in domestic and international markets despite challenges posed by unseasonal rainfall and geopolitical headwinds.

We are working towards significant improvement of operating margin as compared to last year.

Our ambition is to achieve a sustainable double-digit CAGR by financial year 2028 in both top line and also bottom line.

We shall weed and feed our portfolio, and portfolio rationalization will happen. A clear exit path for some of the categories which have been non-performers have been identified to release capital.
