Revenue from operations stood at ₹4,858.68 crore as against ₹4,565.34 crore in the previous year. The company's performance was primarily driven by strong growth in Ex-US markets, which outpaced overall company growth.

As reported by the company, he noted that the calibrated strategy in Ex-US markets is delivering results, with these markets outpacing overall company growth.
