To reinforce our leadership position and enhance market penetration, the Company implemented a comprehensive advertising strategy during FY 2024-25 with a strong focus on expanding its presence across Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4 markets through traditional media channels.

As part of this initiative, we launched a high-impact television commercial (TVC) featuring celebrity Ranbir Kapoor centered around the punchline "Premium ka Pappa." This campaign is currently live and deployed with a 360 degree marketing approach covering television, digital platforms, social media and outdoor advertising. The campaign has significantly increased brand visibility, elevated top-of-mind recall, and attracted a broader audience, thereby driving greater consideration and market penetration.

On the digital front, we have prioritized social media engagement, performance marketing, display and search advertising along with a complete revamp of our official website. The redesigned website offers a user- friendly interface and enhanced user experience making it more informative, engaging and easier to navigate for our customers.

We have also continued to expand our Display Centers and Franchised Showrooms to provide customers with a differentiated and immersive brand experience. These centers go beyond traditional advertising methods, allowing customers to interact with the brand in meaningful ways. This strategy has not only strengthened customer engagement and brand loyalty but also contributed to revenue generation and brand premiumization. As of now, we operate 237 franchised outlets and 13 company- owned display centers across India.

Furthermore, in a strategic move to boost our brand visibility, the Company signed renowned Bollywood actress Vaani Kapoor as the Brand Ambassador for our Bonzer7 brand, with the same being disclosed to the Stock Exchanges on 28 September, 2024.

In conclusion, our multi-channel advertising and promotional strategy is successfully driving expansion into new markets and strengthening our foothold in existing ones. Through celebrity endorsements, innovative campaigns and a strong digital presence, we have differentiated ourselves from competitors and sparked interest among new-age consumers. With a continued emphasis on quality, innovation and customer engagement, we are well-positioned to maintain our leadership in the industry and are confident in our ability to further grow market share.
