Q&A highlights
Management's answers to analyst questions, in Parakho's words rather than a transcript. Each row names who answered and carries the verbatim quote it was drawn from.

p. 8
“Our EBITDA margins in FY'23 was 22.5%. FY '24, 22.6%, FY'25 was 18.4%, FY'26 was about 13.5%.”

Answered by Gopalakrishnan

p. 9
“Since they are all Q3, Q4 launches, they will not translate exactly into the same amount of collections.”
