- EBITDA margin and whether the Rs 110 crore EBITDA gain converts into sustained net-profit expansion.
- Inventory days, operating cash flow, borrowings, and working-capital requirements amid gold-price movements.
- Store productivity, city-level clustering, and the pace of openings relative to the 352-store base.
- Festive and wedding-season demand, including ticket size, studded-jewellery mix, and online-to-store conversion.
- Competitive discounting and expansion by organised jewellery peers.
- Accelerate store additions in high-density urban and tier-2 markets while prioritising local cluster economics over standalone footprint growth.
- Increase inventory financing, gold-metal loan usage, and supply-chain discipline to support expansion without excessive working-capital strain.
- Use the third profitable quarter to strengthen marketing around trust, certification, design-led collections, exchange offers, and omnichannel conversion.
- Focus on improving new-store payback, same-store sales growth, EBITDA margin, and net-profit conversion ahead of the festive and wedding seasons.
