Mahesh Iyer: Thank you, Chetan. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us as we
discuss the Q1FY27 financial and operating performance.
Before we begin, I would like to introduce the management team joining me on the call today. I
have with me on the call, 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; Brijesh Modi, who is the CFO at Thomas Cook (India) Limited; and
Urvashi Butani, who heads Investor Relationship.
Now coming to our performance.
The first quarter of FY27 was, in many ways, a good test of the resilience of our business. It
reinforced that our performance is increasingly being shaped by decisions within our control, i.e
where we choose to allocate our capital, the customer segments and markets we prioritize and our
ability to execute with discipline while continuing to invest for future growth.
I am pleased to share that this was reflected across almost every part of our portfolio. Our India
businesses led by foreign exchange, MICE and corporate travel continue to deliver healthy
momentum and stable operating performance. Sterling Holidays delivered strong growth during the
quarter, reflecting sustained demand, disciplined execution and the strength of its leisure hospitality
business.
Importantly, the impact of the conflict in West Asia was limited to a few businesses with direct
exposure to the region, primarily Desert Adventures, our destination management business in the
Middle East, DEI and parts of our long-haul outbound travel portfolio. While these businesses
weighed on our reported performance, the diversified nature of our portfolio helped absorb much
of the disruption with the broader business continuing to perform steadily and demonstrating the
resilience of our operating model.
Consolidated total income for the quarter stood at INR 21,530 million, a decline of 12% year-on-
year. Excluding the business impacted by the geopolitical disruptions, our India operations remained
stable on a year-on-year basis.
Excluding the GCC-based subsidiaries, (DEI and Desert Adventures), the consolidated results of the
group registered a growth of 8% at an EBIT level for the quarter, highlighting the resilience of our
underlying businesses.
Profit before tax for the quarter stood at INR 885 million, down 21% Y-o-Y, primarily due to the
underperformance of Desert Adventures and DEI, our Middle East operations.
With that context, let me now take you through the performance of each of the businesses and the
key drivers that shaped the quarter.
Starting with foreign exchange business, which delivered a positive performance during this year
with segment revenue growing by 6%, EBIT by 8% and EBIT margins at a healthy 45.3%.
If you look at the LRS data, as published by RBI, for the period April and May '2026, across the three
relevant categories: Education, Travel-related foreign exchange and Remittances - the education
industry saw a decline of 27%, Travel-related Forex saw a decline of 8% and remittance declined by
14%.
Correspondingly, to give you a like-to-like comparison, our travel segment for the same period
largely aligned with the industry trend, which is a decline of about 8%. However, on the education
portfolio, we actually grew by 17%.
Our overall retail portfolio delivered an 8% Y-o-Y growth in turnover for the quarter, outperforming
the underlying market. Following a relatively softer April and broadly stable May, June delivered a
stronger performance than the previous year, reflecting improved business sentiments.
Our education portfolio remained a key growth driver, with turnover increasing by 36% year-on-
year.
• This performance was supported by continued investments in our distribution and stronger
partnership across leading NBFCs.
• We also witnessed encouraging traction from our Study Buddy Card program launched in
partnership with Visa during the quarter.
Our corporate business portfolio recorded 9% growth in turnover, driven by higher wallet share
from our existing relationships, new client acquisitions and continued expansion of our corporate
relationships.
Our digital channels continued to gain traction during the quarter, reflecting our continued
investment in strengthening our omnichannel proposition.
• Digital penetration improved to 23.5% compared to 20.4% last year, supported by higher
customer engagement across our website. Transactions increased by 38%, TCPay app where
our bookings increased threefold and WhatsApp channel, which saw a strong traction of 80-
plus percent growth over the comparable period.
• We also continue to expand our digital distribution through quick commerce platform,
Blinkit, enhancing convenience and accessibility for customers. We saw a 34% increase in the
number of cards sold via this platform and are now present in 12 cities.
