AGM Speech - Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited (Financial Year 2025-26)
Dear Shareholders,
A very warm welcome to the 19th AGM of your Company.
FY26 has been an important year in ABFRL’s journey as we continue to build stronger, more
focused businesses for the future.
Over the past few years, we have deliberately shaped a distinctive portfolio spanning some of
the most attractive segments of the Indian fashion market — India’s largest ethnic wear platform,
a leading luxury retail business, a strong masstige and value fashion franchise and one of the
