  • Ours is not a commodity based business, we supply to brands and brand owners. So change in coffee prices does not impact our business materially
  • Revenue growth is not a correct indicator for us, as revenue figures are based on tea / coffee prices which have fallen 15-20% from last year which automatically means proportionate decrease in topline
  • 70% of production cost is raw material itself, so significant impact will be seen in topline
  • Bottomline will give you better indicator because as volumes increase bottom line is also increasing
  • US consumes 80k tonne of instant coffee, japan consumes 25k tonne, We in India consume only 10-15k tonne. India is growing at 15-20% YoY
