Along with stepping up our online presence, we’ll keep growing our offline retail presence. Given that furniture is a touch and feel category, we observed that many customers purchased the item from our stores after researching it online, so we enhanced our use of digital technology to assist them in making a purchase they would be delighted with.

This year Godrej Interio revenue grew 20% compared to FY 21-22. In the next 2-3 years, we will focus on increasing market penetration and serving to tier 2-3 cities. We intend to boost our own D2C ecommerce channel by expanding deliveries to 1500 pin codes and improving the delivery backend, with the goal of doubling the platform’s sales run rate by the end of this fiscal year. We have been growing at a CAGR of close to 20% for B2C products, 20% for B2B products and overall growth rate accruing up to 20 percent. Through our greater reach via expansion in e-commerce and retail stores, we plan to focus on Hybrid Work and multifunctional furniture offerings in addition to regular home furniture.”
