Siddhesh Deshmukh: Good morning, everyone. I have the pleasure to host the management of Sundrop
Brands for their 2Q FY '27 earnings call. From the management, we have with us Mr.
Nitish Bajaj, Group Managing Director; Mr. Asheesh Kumar Sharma, CEO and
Executive Director; Mr. K.P.N. Srinivas, CFO; Mr. Abhinav Kapoor, Whole-Time
Director and CEO, Del Monte Foods; and Mr. Amitosh Kumar Banka, CFO, Del

I'll hand over the call to Mr. Nitish Bajaj for his opening remarks, post which we'll
open the floor for Q&A. Over to you, sir.
Nitish Bajaj: Thank you, Siddhesh. Good morning, all, and welcome to the investor call for Q2 FY
'27 for Sundrop Brands. Before we take you through the presentation and discuss our
performance in greater detail, I would just like to spend some time sharing our
perspective on the current operating environment and some of the key developments
that are shaping our industry and our business.
The overall consumption environment, as we see it, remains strong. FMCG demand
across various categories remains stable in the improving trajectory despite the
inflationary headwinds. So overall environment, I would say, remains strong for our
industry. Consumer environment, if I see with the evolution we are seeing in the
channel front, consumers are becoming more discerning. There are positivities in
consumption cycle, both on the value-conscious customer side as well as on the
premiumization side.
There is a willingness to spend on trusted brands, products which bring convenience,
products which offer differentiation; also affordable, valuable price points in the mass
market category. As we see, this environment is very supportive of our diversified
portfolio across cooking, convenient meals and snacking occasions. We continue to
see very strong opportunities across our ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat products,
culinary solutions, spreads, even oils and premium convenience categories.

Our presence across general trade, modern trade, e-commerce, key accounts, quick
commerce and the entire HORECA channel also enables us to participate in this
expanding and stable environment and ride stronger on the emerging and new demand
pools, which are also getting created.
From a cost perspective, we are seeing that in the recent past, there has been
inflationary environment, there has also been volatility. But as we have gone through
the quarter, what we have also seen is over the last 2 or 3 months, the environment
while volatile has remained range bound. We have been able to take price corrections,
price increases in relevant categories where we have seen inflationary trends on certain
commodities like packaging, etcetera, we have seen broad-based inflation. And these
inflations, we have been able to calibrate in our pricing. And our brands have shown
resilience and power so that our volume trajectory has not got impacted, while, of
course, we have seen the benefit of that coming in the value side.
This, of course, is also getting balanced by our very, very strong focus on driving
procurement efficiency, driving our manufacturing productivity initiatives and also
taking our portfolio mix towards more premium, greater value for our consumers and
also for our business.
Going forward also, in the light of this environment, our priority will remain on
ensuring strong volume growth while we continue to drive margin improvements with
a mix of initiatives, which I talked about.
I will now take you through the presentation. And as I go through various slides, I will
keep calling the slide numbers so that you have the context.
I'm moving on to Slide number 3, where I'll briefly recap our vision and the journey
we are building at Sundrop Brands. Our ambition, as we have talked always, is to build
a scaled multi-category food platform, which addresses evolving consumer needs
through innovative, delicious and convenient food solutions.
I'm now moving to Slide number 6. With the addition of Del Monte, now we have 3
strong brands in our portfolio: Sundrop, ACT II and Del Monte, and each of these 3
brands combined give us exposure to very attractive categories across everyday
cooking, convenient meals and snacking occasions.
Over the last couple of years, we have strengthened and sharpened our focus on the
core portfolio, faster-growing channels and on profitable growth. We are also
strengthening our presence across modern trade and e-commerce while leveraging the
combined platform to drive scale, efficiency and margin improvement.
