Kavindra Mishra, MD and CEO, Shoppers Stop, said, 'Shoppers Stop delivered consistent performance despite continued softness in demand and a challenging macro environment. We achieved 4% revenue growth with 3% like-for-like growth (non-GAAP), marking the second consecutive quarter of LFL growth. Our two campaigns, 'India Weds with Shoppers Stop,' a comprehensive wedding shopping experience offering a wide array of wedding-related products and services, and 'Gifts of Love,' an initiative featuring a range of products designed to be given as gifts, celebrating love in various forms, are successful.

Our strategy of premiumization continues to yield strong results, with premium brands contributing 65% of total sales, +7% YoY. This emphasizes our position as a destination of choice for modern Indian consumers seeking aspirational and world-class experiences. Our First Citizen loyalty program continues to be a cornerstone of our success, driving 82% of sales with growing repeat engagement.

Despite the gradual demand recovery, we are optimistic due to structural changes like premiumization, customer engagement campaigns, and India's rising affluence and evolving consumer aspirations. We will continue to build strong momentum in premiumization, beauty, and value fashion INTUNE and focus on experiential retail, digital personalization, and expansion to drive sustainable growth in FY26 and beyond.
