- The company achieved a significant increase in PAT for Q4 FY25, which came in at INR156 crore, reflecting a growth of 81.4% compared to the previous year.

- Despite the revenue growth, the company anticipates a potential decrease in EBITDA margins to around 27% in FY26 due to investments in new geographies and digital initiatives.
