The company, which reported a 9% and 4% year-on-year increase in Q4FY25 revenue and net profit, respectively, would continue to lean on cost savings, which had delivered nine times return on the base year of FY14. Quick commerce, among the fastest growing channels for the company, is also expected to double the share to 8% from 4% now in the next three years.
