The company previously said that they are going to double the revenue in FY25 and the revenue in FY24 was 265cr & if we break that into a quarter then it is approx 67 cr per qtr of FY24 and if we double it for FY25 Q1. It comes at 134cr per qtr …but the revenue is 90cr only.so it seems like a dip according to the promise made by the company… they are short of approx 32%-33% in revenue of Q1… i hope they will try to boost in upcoming qtrs but the company should disclose the reason to the exchange for the dip … i dont know why they dont disclose anything on regular basis
