From the Q&A
| Topic | What management said |
|---|---|

| Nature's Basket Turnaround KPIs | Key metrics are sales per square foot, rupee gross margin (not percentage), and cost control; no new store openings planned, focus is on refurbishment and improving online. |
| Store Expansion Plans | No major store additions planned for Spencer's or Nature's Basket in FY27; focus is on driving higher productivity from the existing footprint. |
| Growth Drivers | Spencer's growth was 70% driven by higher number of bills (NOBs) and 30% by higher average bill value (ABV); category mix remained stable, led by staples and FMCG food. |
| Nature's Basket Online Strategy | Tech for online platform is ready, but consumer acquisition will follow after fixing inventory and availability issues; partnership with quick-commerce players is not commercially viable. |
