That said, the gap between rural and urban growth has narrowed significantly compared to December 2025, reflecting a more balanced consumption recovery.

We expect this convergence to continue. Within Urban India, e-commerce and Modern Trade have been driving demand, growing by 49% and 19% respectively. Quick Commerce is driving the online business, posting a growth of 54%. This channel was a major contributor to our foods business, which grew by 30% in Q4. We will continue to double down on emerging channels, which serve as the incubators for Dabur's innovation and premium products. As part of this initiative, we have launched SIENS, Dabur's first online only Direct-to-Consumer nutraceutical brand, which is showing great consumer traction. We continue to invest heavily behind this brand,'
