In a communication sent to shareholders and filed with the stock exchanges, Singhania highlighted the company’s recent restructuring initiatives, including the listing of Raymond Realty Ltd and the earlier demerger of the lifestyle business. These moves mark a significant phase in the group’s transformation.
According to Singhania, this diversified portfolio, combined with the company’s proven execution capabilities, deep global partnerships, and relentless focus on technological advancement, uniquely positions Raymond to increase its order book and sustain high double-digit growth.
The restructuring has resulted in the creation of three independent, net debt-free, and focused entities. The listing of Raymond Realty, described as a pure-play real estate entity, is seen as an important milestone. Singhania noted that the business has scaled up in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region and has a substantial development pipeline.
On the lifestyle front, Raymond will adopt a three-pronged strategy: strengthening branded textiles, accelerating growth in apparel and garmenting, and expanding into newer categories such as ethnic wear, innerwear, and sleepwear. This approach is designed to enhance the company’s market presence and customer base.
The communication also emphasized the potential of Raymond’s engineering division in sectors like aerospace, defence, and automotive. With global supply chains shifting and the China+1 strategy gaining momentum, Singhania believes the group has significant opportunities to scale its engineering capabilities and grow its order book.
Despite the challenges, the shares of the company are currently trading 0.94% higher. However, the stock has experienced a 62.8% decline year-to-date. Singhania’s strategic plan aims to reverse this trend and position Raymond for sustainable growth in the future.
In summary, 'Raymond 2.0' is a comprehensive strategy that leverages the company’s strengths and market opportunities to drive growth and transformation. The focus on lifestyle, real estate, and engineering, along with a commitment to technological advancement and global partnerships, sets the stage for Raymond’s next phase of growth.
