All businesses have performed well and we expect strong growth to continue. I am also pleased to report that the Company surpassed pre-covid profits much before our expectations. With our ability to adjust to the environment coupled with the cost control measures in past 18 months, this quarter witnessed a steep growth in profits over comparable pre-covid quarter. In Radio, with the improved operating leverage due to combination of cost control and efficiency improvement measures taken at the beginning of the pandemic, incremental operating profit was over 80% of increased revenue in comparison with Q2FY21 as well as Q1FY22. The Media and Entertainment Industry expects to benefit from the resurgence in the economic activity driven by the festive season, accelerated pace of vaccination drive and reduction in COVID-19 cases. This considerably improves outlook for the businesses of the Group. Our focus continues to be to maintain market position. Chasing unprofitable growth has never been our philosophy and this is where the team has done an incredible job by delivering a healthy growth in profits.” Result PDF
