Risks & concerns — 5 flagged
We are very cautious as we have updated in past also.
Mukesh Sharma
See Jewellery sector commitment on the revenue growth is a little difficult and little tricky situation.
Mukesh Sharma
Any kind of risk that you personally see that can dampen our speed, can act as a speed bump to one?
Darshil Jhaveri
I don't see -- personally don't see any challenge from the TBZ prospective.
Mukesh Sharma
It would be difficult to pinpoint one margin, that would be wrong on my side because it differs with the different franchisees.

Q
I just like to know that is there's a degrowth in the revenue, while the other company has shown a growth in the jewellery states? Any reason why our companies see the degrowth in the revenue?
Mukesh Sharma
See, as I've highlighted in the past also, the other companies, there's a lot of new stores addition. So those growth does not reflect the same-store growth. Yes. In our case, as I have updated, we are cutting down on our corporate sales, which are not with much profit. This is one of the reasons. Some reasons are there with respect to the gold prices. So whenever there is surge in the gold prices, the quantum goes down. We have experienced that immediately after Diwali, there were high gold prices that has created some impact in the revenue, top line. Also, the marriage season was shifted 15
Q
Sir, my first question would be, how is the wedding market? So I guess some of some days of the wedding season have also come in Q4. So if you could overall give me a picture of how the wedding market has been paying?
Mukesh Sharma
See wedding season compared to the last year, as I said, this has shifted a little bit in Q3 as compared to Q4. Wedding season is not that great because the gold price has played a little spoil spot there. However, it's not as bad also. So we are seeing a flattish kind of demand in this wedding season. Got it. Okay. Sir, second, on the studded jewelry. So what will be the share for Q3 of the studded form? Can you repeat your question? In the studded jewellery, the diamonds what will be the share for diamonds in this quarter Q3? See diamond ratio has improved a little bit in this Q3. So last ye
Q
Sir, just wanted to ask like currently like how IPRs trajectory going? Is that we are focused more on our margin and cost initiatives? And from FY '25, we will be able to see more focus on strategy. So any kind of guidance for revenue for FY '25, we may have, any ballpark target like you might close this year around INR2,300 crores. So can we what kind of target new stores coming up should we have for FY '25?
Mukesh Sharma
See Jewellery sector commitment on the revenue growth is a little difficult and little tricky situation. However, we always try to get somewhere with same-store sales growth of around 15% to 20%. As we add new stores, obviously, the sales growth will be in a different percentage. So difficult to quantify what numbers. I mean, roughly, we can resume around 15% to 20% sale growth, we should easily see in FY '25. So 15% to 20% easily we can see and our margins, we can say around 6.5% and maybe dashboard also jump up a bit in operating leverage? Yes, we are hopeful that we should be able to take t
Q
I just wanted to know of opening new showrooms in Vapi GIDC Gujarat? What kind of growth you are seeing from that area or location, by when will the stores break even, can you throw some light on it?
Mukesh Sharma
See the new store in Gujarat Vapi is catering to a different geography, than what our current store is doing. And we are seeing a good traction and good sales in that store as well, and that is already in a profitable state. It's also our experiment in terms of opening a smaller-sized stores, which we are actually experimenting whether this kind of smaller format franchise stores may also work in these kind of city. So there are various strategic reasons with which we have opened and having said that, there is a good sales there. It's not that sale is getting impacted, having stores- 2 stores
Q
Yes. So we are projecting 5 to 8 FOFO stores, till next Diwali. Can you throw some light on the inventory of turnover and the revenue, which we would be expected by new focus stores?
Mukesh Sharma
Yes. So as the name suggests, franchisee-owned franchisee-operated, the investment in the CapEx is done by the franchisee, the inventory investment is done by the franchisees, TBZ, of course, from the brand side, there is a complete brand support from the TBZ side for the design, the designing part, or the marketing side, staff training, retail related experience everything is taken care by the TBZ. So we are creating everything, the investment and the store being run by the franchisees. So capital, so there's no substantial investment from the TBZ side, aside from sharing the profitability. H
