In Q2FY25, we gained significant momentum, acquiring over 100+ new enterprise clients, including a few marquee names such as VIP Bags, Landmark Group etc. We continue to demonstrate 100%+ NRR in our Enterprise business, driven by strong client retention. India’s eCommerce industry continues to grow, driven by increasing digital adoption and shifting consumer preferences. While the long-term outlook continues to be positive, in the short term, the e[1]commerce growth continues to be soft overall. While the festive season sales demonstrated a strong start, but beyond the sale period, the softness continues, similar to last year. Given the overall macros, our focus is to drive growth from existing clients through cross sell/upsell initiatives, continuing a strong momentum of acquiring new clients and continue our investment in building new products (UniShip and UniReco). Both of our new products are gaining strong traction with early adopters. These products are currently in the build phase, and we are optimistic they will gain momentum as they mature. With the promising long-term outlook for India’s eCommerce market and our competitive advantages, we are confident that Unicommerce will continue its trajectory of consistent growth with expanding profitability, as we have consistently demonstrated over the years.”
