Quarterly drop is concerning but the YoY growth shows resilience. Emami's international performance is impressive - 6% growth in global markets when many FMCG companies are struggling abroad. Their SAARC strategy seems to be working well.

As a shareholder, I'm happy with the dividend payout - 54% of PAT is generous! 💰 But the rising expenses (+4.6%) need to be watched carefully. Hope management keeps costs under control while expanding internationally.

The 13% growth in modern trade & e-commerce shows how consumer behavior is changing. Emami needs to invest more in digital channels - that's where the future is. Their traditional distribution might not be enough in coming years.

Mixed feelings about this report. On one hand, 25 new products show innovation, but on other hand, too many launches can dilute brand focus. Emami should consolidate its core brands like Navratna and Boroplus which made them famous.

11% volume growth is the real positive here! In current market conditions where many FMCG companies are struggling with volumes, this shows Emami's products still have strong demand. Their rural penetration must be paying off.

As a consumer, I wish they'd focus more on product quality than financial numbers. Some of their recent products feel rushed to market. Better to have fewer launches with proper R&D than 25 half-baked ones. Just my two paise!
