Global Economic Volatility Risk

We take pride in our extensive geographical presence, which contributes to a diverse revenue mix for our company. Approximately one-third of our revenue is generated within India, reflecting our strong domestic market presence. The remaining two-thirds of our revenue comes from exports, indicating our success in serving international markets and reaching customers across the globe.

However, this exposes us to the uncertainties in the global economic, political, and financial landscape which has the potential to cause significant disruptions in supply chains.

Our procurement of raw materials relies on purchase orders, with suppliers sourced from both domestic and international markets. We maintain adequate stocks of raw materials to ensure continuity in manufacturing processes.

Regulatory Risk

The medical devices industry is one of the highly regulated industries worldwide. Governments and regulatory agencies around the globe impose strict standards and requirements on medical device manufacturers to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of medical devices being used by healthcare providers and patients. The regulations for medical devices vary from country to country. Compliance with these regulations is critical to gain and maintain market access and uphold the trust of healthcare professionals and consumers.

The company maintains a robust quality assurance and regulatory control mechanism, which ensures strict compliance at every level of its operations. To stay up-to-date with the latest developments in the regulatory landscape, regular regulatory trainings are organized for employees. These training sessions equip the staff with the necessary knowledge and understanding to adhere to the ever-changing regulations and guidelines in the industry. By prioritizing quality and regulatory compliance, the company demonstrates its commitment to delivering safe and reliable products and services to its customers while meeting all necessary regulatory requirements.

Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company engages in various operational transactions, including anticipated sales, purchases, and borrowings, that are denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. Although we don''t have a significant currency risk as we''re an export driven company, however, these fluctuations can have an impact on our financial results and overall performance, and therefore, managing these exposures is crucial to mitigate any potential risks and uncertainties associated with currency fluctuations.

To manage the risks arising from currency, our Company has implemented robust risk management policies, namely the Foreign Exchange Risk Management Policy and the Commodity Risk Management Policy. By adhering to these policies, we actively engage in hedging activities to mitigate the potential impacts of adverse movements in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices.

Through a systematic and well-structured approach, we aim to safeguard our financial position and ensure stability and predictability in our operations.
