Digital Products:
The company continued expanding its digital products portfolio comprising:

Note:
- Management stated that FY27 marks the beginning of its largest capacity expansion cycle, supported by strong enterprise demand, premium office leasing trends, GCC expansion, and increasing adoption of flexible workspaces across India.
Risk Analysis
Summary:
- Although operational performance remained strong, the company continues to invest aggressively in new capacity, which could temporarily affect occupancy and margins during stabilization periods.
Key Risks:
- Occupancy may fluctuate as new centres become operational.
- Continued capex requirements may impact short-term free cash generation.
- Commercial real estate demand remains influenced by macroeconomic conditions.
- Growth assumptions depend on sustained enterprise leasing demand.
- Flexible workspace industry competition continues to intensify.
Worst Case:
- A slowdown in office leasing demand or delayed occupancy ramp-up at newly added centres could moderate revenue growth and temporarily compress operating margins.
Risk Level: Medium
