which we will have the forum open for an interactive Q&A session.
I would now like to invite Mr. Mahesh Iyer to make initial remarks. Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Mahesh Iyer: Thank you, Purva. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us as we
discuss the Q2 FY27 financial and operating performance. Before we begin, I would like to introduce
the management team joining me on the call today. Vikram Lalvani, Managing Director and CEO of
Sterling Holiday Resorts; K.S. Ramakrishnan, Managing Director of DEI; Vishal Suri, Managing
Director of SOTC; Debasis Nandy, who is the Group CFO for Thomas Cook (India) Group; Mr. Brijesh

Quarter 2 was a quarter in which we began to see recovery with momentum improving across parts
of our business, although at varying levels. The external environment continues to be uncertain, and
some of our international operations are still working through the effects of the geopolitical
disruptions. But the quarter also showed us where the demand is holding up, where activity is
picking up and importantly, how the cost agility we have built into our operations is helping us
respond to changing business conditions. This flexibility allows us to better align costs with business
volumes, manage the impact on profitability and protect our underlying performance even as we
navigate an uneven recovery.
The quarter's performance reflects 2 things. First, the strong recovery and growth in parts of our
India portfolio; second, the impact of conflict in West Asia, which is largely limited to a few
businesses with direct exposure to the region, that is Desert Adventures and DEI and parts of our
long-haul outbound portfolio. These businesses are still not where we would like them to be, but
they are clearly better than they were 3 months ago.
Some of the key performance highlights for the quarter.
Our consolidated total income stood at INR 20,030 million, shows a 5% decline over the same
quarter last year. Our India Travel segment saw clear signs of recovery, and I will detail this in a little
more when I talk about the segments. We ended the quarter just 6% below last year with EBIT
margins holding a healthy 3.8%. Our international business continued to face a challenging
environment, particularly given the geopolitical situation, which had a direct impact on the
operations of Desert Adventures and DEI.
Overall, EBIT margins for the Travel segment have shown an improvement on a sequential basis
from 2.4% to 2.9% in Q2 of FY 2027. Our consolidated PBT before exceptional item stood at INR 848
million, which was broadly at the same level as last year despite the reduction in overall income.
This is particularly noteworthy given the shortfall of almost over INR 1,036 million in income from
operations coming largely out of Desert Adventures and DEI.
What is also encouraging is that we have actually managed to improve our PBT margin to 4.2%
compared to 4% last year despite the pressure on top line. On the distribution front, we continue
to expand our reach with the branch network growing by 7% year-on-year via the franchisee route
to 310 branches at the end of September 2026 compared to 289 branches. This takes our network
to its highest ever level, further strengthening our presence and accessibility across markets.
In terms of technology, we have further enhanced our AI-powered chatbot with the integration of
DynaPack, our dynamic inventory customization feature. While still it is in the initial phase, this
enables the bot to generate personalized travel itineraries with real-time pricing, allowing
customers to explore holiday options based on their individual preferences.
We have also continued to receive recognition for our efforts across our businesses. During the
quarter, Thomas Cook (India) Limited's Corporate Travel team was recognized as the Best Corporate
Travel Management Company for the year at the India Travel & Technology Summit Awards 2026.
Our Bhakti business won the Best Spiritual & Pilgrimage Tour Operator Award at the India Travel
Awards, while we also received the ET MarTech Award for the use of Generative AI in MarTech and
were recognized as the most popular tour operator at the Mélange Awards.
SOTC also had a strong showing, winning Best Travel Agency of the Year and Best Omni Travel
Agency of the Year at the Indian Travel and Technology Summit Awards. Its MICE and Travel team
was also recognized as the MICE and Travel Team of the Year at the MILT Excellence Awards 2026.
With that context, let me take you through how the individual businesses have performed during
the quarter, starting with Financial Services.
The segment has continued its upward trajectory and reported a strong revenue increase of 21%
during the quarter, which is backed by a 7% increase in gross turnover to INR 39 billion, driven by
the retail segment.
Our EBIT for the segment in Q2 improve
