Kranthi Bathini, equity strategist with WealthMills Securities Pvt. Ltd, stated, "It is in the growth phase so costs will remain high but it will have to draw a line on how much cash they can burn." Bathini added, "It is a big brand and it is important they create synergies between businesses. It will have to ensure that productivity starts showing up in earnings going forward."
