Global Economic Volatility Risk
Our business performance and growth are closely tied to the health of
the Indian economy, which is susceptible to various factors such as global economic
uncertainties, domestic policy and political environment, volatility in interest rates and
currency exchange rates, and rising inflation rates. These factors can impact the
availability of funds, interest rates, and liquidity, ultimately affecting our business
confidence and results of operations. External factors, such as slowdowns or recessions in
major economies, trade deficits, and sovereign debt rating downgrades, can also influence
the Indian economy and our business. Any downturn in the macroeconomic environment in
India could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operation,
making it challenging to predict and navigate the impact of fundamental economic changes
on our business.

operations.
Our international operations are subject to diverse and evolving
medical device regulations in each country where our products are marketed and sold. Most
countries require product approvals to be renewed or recertified regularly, and failure to
comply may result in product recalls or seizures. The complexity and dynamism of these
regulations may lead to uncertainty, increased costs, and delays in obtaining approvals,
ultimately impacting our sales, market share, and operating profits from international
operations.

As an export-oriented company, we're exposed to foreign currency
fluctuations that may impact our sales to international distributors and operations. We
can only revise prices periodically and may not be able to pass on all losses to our
distributors. To manage this risk, we utilize natural hedging through imports, forward
exchange contracts, and internal policies like our Foreign Exchange Risk Management
Policy. However, these measures may not fully mitigate potential losses from currency
fluctuations.
