Business Overview

India has been impacted substantially by the second wave of the Covid 19 pandemic. There remains an uncertainty around the duration of the pandemic and the resultant impact on consumer sentiment and demand.4

Input Inflation may continue during the current year as well. The Company is taking necessary steps to mitigate the impact of inflation through appropriate pricing and cost control measures.

The uncertain demand scenario coupled with significant inflation in input costs will call for active management of the rapidly evolving situation while maintaining employee and business eco system safety and security. While the rollout of the vaccination programme is encouraging, it is evident that this will take considerable time before business sentiment is positively impacted. The Company has put in place a number of measures that impact both the delivery as well as the development agenda so as to remain resilient during these times. The company's strategy is continuously evolving to address these challenges as well as adapt to market conditions.

While major subsidiaries in India are taking initiatives to improve margins and achieve consistent sales growth in their respective businesses, the impact of the pandemic on economic growth does pose a short term risk to these plans.
