Though the financial year 2021-22 started amidst strict lock down in India with severe restrictions on travel and economic activity to contain the health emergency posed by the second wave of Covid-19 (Delta wave), your Company registered a creditable performance given the subdued macroeconomic environment and relatively poor consumer sentiment towards discretionary spending.

The Delta wave at beginning of the year under review was more severe than the third wave of Covid-19 (Omicron wave) in January 2022.
