We’re strategically positioned to capitalize on these trends and enhance our market presence. Our goal is to achieve a 20% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next three years, targeting revenue of approximately INR 400 crores from Western India by FY27. Moreover, Pune’s thriving real estate sector, driven by robust demand for homeownership and a supportive business environment, presents additional opportunities. The increasing preference for large-sized, mid-sized, and affordable homes underscores the dynamic nature of Pune’s real estate market, further benefiting organized furniture players like us.
