I now hand the conference over to Mr. Yash Mutha from Krsnaa Diagnostics Limited.
Thank you, and over to you, sir.
Yash Mutha: Thank you, Sumit. Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us. As we
begin the FY27, I want to start with the larger vision behind what we are building at
Krsnaa Diagnostics. We've always believed that diagnostics is an essential part of
India's health care infrastructure.
Our ambition is simple: to make quality diagnostics accessible to every Indian,
irrespective of where they live or their ability to pay. The purpose has taken us to parts
of India where building and operating health care infrastructure is not always easy.
Think about what happens in Rajasthan today. A patient gives a sample in a remote
location. The sample may travel significant distances across the state before reaching
our laboratories, where it is processed, validated and reported back to the patient.
Behind that one report is the infrastructure network, logistics, technology, clinical
expertise and execution working together. If serving these markets were easy, health
care access in many parts of India would have already been solved. Someone has to go
there. Someone has to build the laboratory network or the imaging network.
Someone has to establish the collection centers. Someone has to create the logistics
network and connect the technology and the clinical expertise. Krsnaa has chosen to
be that someone. And what excites me today is that purpose is increasingly translating
into business performance.
Our revenue grew approximately 22% year-on-year in Q1. More importantly, our like-
to-like projects grew approximately 12%. That number matters to me. It demonstrates
that Krsnaa's growth is not dependent only upon winning the next project.
Infrastructure that we have already established continues to serve more patients and
generate more businesses.
On the same lines, I'm also pleased to share that Krsnaa has recently been awarded the
Himachal Pradesh CT project for 34 CT scans across the entire state. This is

particularly significant for us because Himachal Pradesh is where Krsnaa began its
PPP journey almost 12 years ago with just 12 centers.
Our performance and service quality over the years have earned us this opportunity to
expand our footprint from 12 to 34 centers. And predominantly, most of this project is
going to be a cash paying project. This is a strong validation of something we have
consistently communicated.
Execution excellence and quality of service create the foundation for repeat business
and long-term partnerships. With this award, we are further strengthening our revenue
visibility in the state for the next 10 years and giving Krsnaa the opportunity to serve
the people of Himachal Pradesh for almost 25 years in total. There is also a third
dimension emerging. Our retail business grew approximately 64% year-on-year.
Our retail network has expanded to more than 4,000-plus touch points, and we are
seeing increasing contributions from home collection, wellness camps, digital channels
and our partner networks. For many years, Krsnaa's strength has been its institutional
business.
We are now building a second engine alongside it, the consumer-facing cash paying
business. One gives us scale and reach. The other gives us diversification and a direct
relationship with the consumers. And increasingly, innovation will connect both. We
are also looking beyond the conventional diagnostics packages and asking a different
question, how can diagnostics become a part of the consumers' broader health. I am
particularly excited about what comes next.
Very shortly, we will be launching what we believe is the first-of-a-kind proposition
in India, bringing together preventive diagnostics and financial protection in a single
offering. We believe this can create an entirely new dimension of how consumers
engage with Krsnaa and with preventive health care.
We are also expanding the use of artificial intelligence and technology across
consumer engagement, X-ray reporting and business analytics. So when I look at
Krsnaa today, I see something very different from the company we were a few years
ago. I see an existing health care infrastructure that is growing organically.
I see new projects adding another layer of growth, and I also see consumer business
emerging as a second engine, and I see technology and innovation creating new
possibilities on top of this network. As regards our margins, as mentioned in the
previous quarters, due to the project implementations, they also carry their full fixed
cost base from the very first day in laboratory equipment, the manpower and the
logistics, while still operating below mature utilization levels, and therefore, you see

compression in the margins. However, if we set these projects aside, our like-to-like
business delivered stable and consistent margins broadly in line with the previous
quarters.
So the moderation you see is largely a function of the infrastructure that we have
recently built and now are in the process of fulfilling it rather than any pricing or
structural pressure in the core business. A related point on capital, ours is an
infrastructure-led model and by nature, the capital expenditure is front-ended.
We build the laboratory or the diagnostics network, install the equipment and put the
team in place before the volumes arrive. That front ending creates a drag on the margins
in the initial quarters, which is essentially what you are seeing in the quarter's numbers.
As these projects ramp up and utilization improves, that drag evens out and the
incremental revenues begin to flow into an asset base that is already in place. That is
the rhythm
