Thank you and over to you, sir.
Ashutosh Joytiraditya: Yes, thank you, Rutuja. On behalf of ICICI Securities, I warmly welcome everyone to Orkla
India Limited's Q2 FY27 earnings call. I will now turn the session over to Mr. Siddharth Borkar
to lead the discussion. Thank you and over to you, Siddharth.
Siddharth Borkar: Thank you, Jyotiraditya, for hosting us. Hello and welcome everyone to the Q2 FY27 results for
Orkla India. I am Siddharth Borkar, Head of M&A and Investor Relations. At Orkla India. I am
joined by Mr. Sanjay Sharma, Managing Director and CEO at Orkla India, and Ms. Suniana
Calapa, CFO at Orkla India.
I hope you have gone through the investor presentation and other materials that we have
uploaded. In today's call, we will walk you through some of the key highlights of the quarter,
and then we'll open the floor for Q&A. I would want to draw your attention to the disclaimer
slide as stated in our earnings presentation. With that, I hand it over to Sanjay.
Sanjay Sharma: Thank you, Siddharth, and a very good evening, everyone, and thank you for joining us. I am
Sanjay Sharma, Managing Director and CEO for Orkla India, and I'm also joined by our CFO
Suniana Calapa to take you through our results. For those people who have joined us for the first
time, we are going to be tracking the presentation that we've uploaded and if you are following
the same, I will keep talking about the slide numbers that we are on.
But for those people who are joining us for the first time, I would encourage you to refer to slide
5 of the earnings presentation on our website for a brief overview of Orkla India. I will not be
spending time on that today. Let me start with the 3 key messages, that I would like you to take
away from today.
First the growth has accelerated and is broad-based. The revenues have grown by about 18.4%
in Q2, and volume growth is improving. The second, the profitability remains healthy despite
elevated input costs. Brands and strategic growth initiatives. Third, two of our strategic projects
that we've been talking about in the past calls also, which is Project Bolt and Kerala distribution
restructuring, are translating into tangible results on ground.
Now let me take you through our performance for Q2 FY27. So if you now move to Slide 7,
which gives you an executive summary of the results. Overall, we are encouraged by how our
business has progressed in Q2. Building on the start in Q1, the revenue growth has actually
accelerated further to 18.4%, with volumes growing 2.9% and EBITDA growing at 12.6%.

As mentioned in the last quarter, the growth continues to be broad-based across categories as
well as geographies. Spices grew at 25.1% across all geographies, with Kerala driving the overall
growth. A large part of this was price-led, and volumes were positive as well. Convenience foods
grew at 7.7% against a higher base as last year's Q2 included the festive period.
Our domestic business was particularly strong, growing at 20%, with Eastern leading the growth,
driven by a resilient Indian economy, healthy consumer demand, and a strong execution focus
that we have had across our portfolio. Our international business continued its upward growth
trajectory, growing at 11.7%, with GCC growing 22.7% in a continuing volatile geopolitical
environment.
Innovations remain an important pillar of our growth strategy, and we have maintained a strong
pace of launches, 23 in the last quarter and another 15 in this quarter, bringing it to 38 in the first
half. These address emerging consumer needs, particularly amongst younger consumers in the
top metro cities.
And finally, on profitability, the input cost environment remains elevated and we continue to
invest behind our brands and strategic growth initiatives. So EBITDA grew more slowly than
revenues. Even so, the margins remain healthy at 15.9%. We move to Slide 8. Before I hand
over to Sunaina for the financials, let me give you a quick update on the 2 key projects, starting
with Project Bolt.
Project Bolt is an endeavor to strengthen our play in the emerging quick commerce segment and
now enters the final quarter of its implementation and realization. Strategically, our goal is to
build our business across the top 28 cities in India by strengthening our capabilities. We are
doing this at 2 levels. First, we're building our current portfolio. We've increased our ANSP
investments in consumer reach and demand generation as part of the investments behind our
brands and growth initiatives that I mentioned earlier. We are already seeing a meaningful
expansion in our digital reach. Consumer reach has tripled through scaled social media content.
Second, build a Gen Z-focused portfolio through innovations. We are using digital commerce to
take differentiated propositions to our target consumer cohorts and to test and scale products
beyond their traditional markets. This is an attractive platform to take relevant innovations and
our South Indian food propositions to consumers across India. These interventions are
translating into business outcomes.
Digital commerce increased its contribution to our domestic business from 8.9% in Q1 FY27 to
10% in Q2 FY27. At the same time, digital commerce revenues from rest of India has grown at
33.6% year-on-year in Q2, encouraging evidence that the channel can help our brands travel
beyond the
