Risks & concerns — 10 flagged
We flagged it at our September 2025 analyst day; between our July call and that meeting, the H1 consumption slowdown had become unmistakable.

Behind it is one of India’s most complex business services platforms, built over seventeen years, refined through every market cycle. On any given day we manage cash replenishment and reconciliation across 70,000+ ATMs. We service over 65,000 retail touchpoints. Our currency-in-transit network runs approximately 1,400 routes ac
