Consumer Behavior
Growing demand for experiential storytelling and destination-based cultural experiences among the public and government bodies.

Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade payables decreased to INR 25.77 Cr in H1 FY26 from INR 51.05 Cr in FY25, indicating healthy working capital management.
