However, the most exciting opportunity for line and the patients of programs of the ESP business. Health care globally is shifting from product focused engagement to patient focusing engagement. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly recognizing that long-term treatment outcomes depend not only on prescribing the right medicine, but also ensuring that the patient remains on this therapy, receive proper guidance and achieve better healthcare outcomes. This is where patient service programs play a critical for. A pioneer program begins after a prospect in. Through these programs, QMS patients navigate their health care journey by providing counseling education, follow-ups, reminders, lifestyle poaching, diagnostic support, tele interventions and outcome monitoring.

Operator
Operator[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Chintan [indiscernible].
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulation on the set of numbers. First question is why -- what is the reason behind the reduction in profit this year, even while our revenue grew?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesAs we claimed in the statement right now and that we have put in a lot of year-on-year right now. We have increased the number of people that put a lot of money on the software negotiated revenue.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsThat -- all right. But can you elaborate a little bit about the software division part.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesSee software development is like when we are conducting a lot of cans actually across, there's a lot of data, which is we cold, data protection is required actually to the. -- now an ISI satified company or ones on some plans. This is as a become [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, your voice is breaking for me. I don't know whether it's just me or at all.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesI can -- I mean, I hear you. It was taken
Operator
OperatorI'm sorry to interrupt, sir, your voice breaking up in between. Come closer to mic?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesYes.
Operator
OperatorCan you please repeat the answer?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesNo, the reason that we said that we have in invested a lot of money in the data compliance structures right now. I assume and we saw 2 compliances are also going around right now. as per the PDP act, the data protection is required right now. There is -- within 18 months of period of time, maybe a company who is this data pub has to be compliant with those items right now. So we are already following those techniques right now. those systems -- it also the other companies also that -- and this definitely will increase our revenue, help us in this service segment during this financial year.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsGood. Sir, why would -- let's say, or as the pharma distribution landscape is evolving very, very rapidly right now in India, with a lot of online-only players coming in with a deep pocket or with a very heavy start-up funding, and they have ducted the market, right? So what -- how do you manage -- or how do you maintain your -- your business, how do you protect it? And how do you achieve growth in this particular such a competitive business?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesPharma distribution, okay? So our objective is for, again, this is becoming a very paramount importance retaining a patient for the pharma company for the doctor is a big import other importers right now. If you have a distant type of a distribution pharma channel, what you're rightly saying going around. But again, the epicenter of all these things is the patient actors. Okay. So the managing the patient is becoming the most important thing, right, we said that. So that is what we help the operating -- and then -- and all the infrastructure that we have developed right now and all the software and all these things, will definitely help right now the industry is doing all these activities in a much more compliant way, actually.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsIt will help because I'm not able to understand. I can understand the sentiment but not the complete that you do that will help you.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesSee -- as for the whatever is ever in India, unfortunately, the page in 1 starts on a media drops up in first helpful. okay? Not what does it do -- the pharma company loses his customer, the patient actually end up after joining back after 1 month in, he stops his medicien, he feels resolve right, then after 9 months, 10 months. And these lifestyle medicines, you can honestly speaking, it is not advisable to stopping with me. certain things such medicines are like on medicines actually. What it does is it later on, puts a lot of load on the infrastructure and care infrastructure also. So what you do is basically with these type of programs, you had manager pharma companies, manage the patient. The patient sticks to the program, he adheres to all these medicines properly, which will give us a less load on the head care actually.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. But sir, there are players like [indiscernible], which is actually dominate the market on the patient management side of it, right? How do QMS fit into this?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesThe [indiscernible] is not -- it is [indiscernible] thing. I would not take that got premier those programs and services, I think so QMS is doing much better than that. I'll tell you I'll give you we are managing one of the leading health care programs of the industry [indiscernible] right now with an also right now for loan we're doing a program right after the launch of GLP-1. So this [indiscernible] is more on the -- I mean, honestly speaking, on the patient health care at home sort of a thing side of thing working out. Yes, it is there in the system right now, it has been there, but a lot of work. In fact, I don't think so their revenue much comes from the basis of our program. So dominate [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. So sir, according to you, Humraahi, your next growth engine, which will power the
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesHumraahi is definitely there. There is Jay also again from the respiratory point there are total let me tell you right now, there are 104 different types of patient service programs and camps telcos which we are doing for the industry. This is where the entire growth engine price is becoming -- so our target, obviously, is to double the revenue what we have done this year in the ore and patient service programs. And all these are obviously by the farmer.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, how much revenue do we generate out of Humraahi platform currently?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesI would not be able to tell you that right. But you can send me a detail about that. I don't think I can -- I'm allowed to share the details right now on that.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSure. There's no problem.
Mahesh Makhija
Executives[indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsKind of number that you -- something on, let's say, how many unique visitors do you get on Humraahi platform or something like that?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesJust to understand the clear how come getting to more than 3.2 lakh patients at this moment right now.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd how is the engagement of those patients? How many times do they open the website or the app on the phone, if you can help us understand.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesThat, I am not here having a steady dire can send me a mail on that, and I'll send you that. So subject to approvals from [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Are Sir, for the next year, where do you think the magnum growth you will be achieved, which segment and how you'll be able to achieve that?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesActual growth come from the came patient service rota. We have here on the -- after the GLP launch and all and the number of programs that we have already signed up, we are looking at doubling our revenue in the cam cell services model this year. This cost has been done in the last year closing that you see.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsRequest to IR partner is, there are other people in the , let me know, I can go silent and come back. Otherwise, I can continue.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesYou can continue.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. So if you can help us understand the can for business. How do you get the money? Because I'm assuming in the camp, the patients who come usually don't
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesEither in pace for this neither a doctor pace. So these are all programs sponsored by pharma company.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. And so we charge the pharma company for entire setting up of the camp? Do we also identify the location of the villages or
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesNeither the location is identified by us, neither the doctors has identified by us. We have an all-India network. We have a CRM, we have a portal on which these guys go and log in and book the camps depending on the locations where we are. We have almost 120 people catering to a 5,000 ports across different locations of this country.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Any competitor who is there who is competing against us in this particular state.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesWe are the only one who probably have segment all catering to a segment like cardio, diabetes, [indiscernible] BMD a lot of other lab tests. You have a lot of [indiscernible] catered type of people doing BMD camps. But nobody has an all-India network across right now. But now we not only do BMDabetics that we do in diabetic Europe that we do loans we do [indiscernible]. We have a plethora of camps depending upon the segments. We do hit like for the [indiscernible]. So it's a consolidated thing, and I don't think so anybody else has such type of a consolidated program being served
Unknown Analyst
Analystsable to see the -- sorry, February '26 presentation. in which it said that we did a 30,000-plus camps in FY '25. And in 9 months, we did 24,000-plus cams in FY '26 yes, the revenue comes out around 10% of our total revenue -- slightly 10% to 15% of our revenue. So you feel that this particular segment is going to be one of the highest revenue puller for you next year?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesYes. Okay. I would [indiscernible]
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesOkay. I believe I can explain you the value chain as to where QMS fits in, in this whole story. So traditionally, the spend that the pharma company does were concentrated on incentivizing the doctors and medical professionals and that is at a flag and is on the downside now. The pharma companies now start to target the patients. So stickiness of the patient is more important from a compliance as well as a business sense for the pharma companies as compared to along with the stickiness of the doctor. So when the pharma company wants a patient for a chronic disease, a chronic disease is something like if you are a diabetic, you are on that medicine for life. So for a chronic disease, first point is identification of the illness. That's where the pharma companies pay attention to diagnosis and screening camp, that's where the camps come in, where the pharma companies identify the patients. This data does not go directly to the pharma companies, but this is general awareness, which helps a particular patient be identified and come on the prescription. Now once a patient is on the prescription, the experience of the patient matters, if that experience and adherence with the whole treatment is holistic, they will stick on that program. Otherwise, they will fall off. So this adherence and pushing and lodging and managing a holistic treatment, for example, having medicine is one part, but diet consultation for certain diseases like for oncology, even medical health awareness, diet consultation tend awareness remark for medicines as well as routine diagnostic test, all of these went to picture key patient on the program. This whole idea of having the patient on the program is conceptualized by QMS and be on these programs [indiscernible] so you can take a [indiscernible], if you can drive being. Arun, -- there is a website called myAram, which is run by -- all of these programs will give an idea as to how the pharma company wants to actually engage with the patients. And QMS is an engagement partner because pharma companies do not have the expertise or wouldn't be directly dealing with these patients because this requires a lot of logistics and on ground works. So these logistics and on-ground work in the physical side, on the digital side and in the hybrid side, everything is managed by QMS as the infrastructure provider. So QMS is an infrastructure provider who helps pharma companies reach to the patients. I hope this clarifies the whole position that QMS has in the patient service and patient assistance programs.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsQuestion is that the people who usually go to the camps, I'm assuming a lot of people over there will be from a financially weaker segment of society, not paying all of them, but a lot of them, I'm assuming. And usually, they will rely on either as program or other various government programs to get the treatment for other chronic issues or for surgeries, which require a heavy financial burden, they'll rely on the government hospitals or the government program. So do we have any way how much a camp is successful -- how do you measure that? And also, if I just identify percent revenue, it is coming around like INR 6,000, INR 7,000 roughly last year and this year around there.
Mahesh Makhija
Executives[indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo -- and I'm not able to visualize how that will be the biggest revenue 1 for you next year, looking at the per camp revenue number.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesExactly the number of segments in we're talking about the programs and all, that is a different segment altogether, Okay. If that is not yet catered by as we are talking about the hospitals, the private sectors and all those things, okay? And even the majority of your pharma business does not come from the government business model right now. We are talking about the main private segment business, the private hospitals, the private clinics and all the segments. That's where the major pharma business comes in from. There's a INR 2 lakh crore business of the farmer to. [indiscernible] The camps revenues definitely increases basically from the number of camps that we do, the more the patients comes and come programs visions are continuing to scale of people that we are deploying that. Success is obviously based on all these factors. And there's different form of patient service program these are extra [indiscernible]
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd sir, what is about profit margin from various segments in the business? How does the equate with each other?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesFull service segment in that or segment is around 25%.
Operator
OperatorThe next question comes from the line of Nishita Sanklesha with CI Capital.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsRight. So I had a few follow-up questions on the previous participants \ question. So if you could give a revenue breakup of the INR 173 crores that we did in '26 between the camps revenue like patient service revenue and the product revenue
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesThat as I said it by speech right now. 69% of our revenue comes from the products revenue is coming from the camp patient service and that's approximately INR 50-odd crores plus actually coming from there. And from the products and distribution side around balance of sale, that's on INR 117 crores, INR 120-odd crores.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsRight. So like from the 31% that the camp revenue that's coming from cancelation, how much of it is coming from camp because as you mentioned, we have to separate programs, right?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesCamp is approximately INR 13-odd crores right now.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd we expect it to be around INR 26 crores in 2027?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesNo, no, no, it's not that. It's not going to be that -- so it's around INR 18 crores to INR 20 crores, that's where we are looking at mix this financial year. Camps numbers are going to be around INR 18 crores to INR 20 crores. From INR 13 crores, we
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Understood. And just a clarification, the 25% margin that you mentioned that we get from [indiscernible] segment. Is that on PAT level or EBITDA level?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesEBITDA, EBITDA level.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd I would like to understand. So previously, you've given the guidance that we would reach to 17% of EBITDA in FY '26. And we've done around 15%. And you also mentioned that we have 2% EBITDA growth in FY '27. So I just wanted to understand what that looks like -- what the EBITDA looks like in FY '27. And like why the margin compressed in the '26?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesSo the margin compression in FY '26 happened because of the signing of new patient service programs, which we've done for FY '26, '27 required investments in certain people and technology via these -- most of these programs have signed up earlier in the year. So before the year starts typically around December, Jan to signing start and the billing start in April. So in this quarter, because of the capabilities we had to build to meet those billing requirements, we had to incur certain expenditure. That is the reason why the margin took a hit in the quarter 4. The benefit of it will appear in quarter 1 onwards because we will be using these capabilities, softwares, people and infrastructure to conduct patient service programs and conduct certain particular camps.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsRight. So like do we still see our EBITDA margins in the range of 18%, 19% in FY '27?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesYes, because we -- while we have put visibility on the services side, the product side is something that grows at 10% to 15%, and we are seeing certain supply chain issues right now because of the shipping disruptions. So I would want to maintain a conservative stand on the product side right now. But services side, we are confident because our -- most of our costs and the contracts are locked in.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsRight. So services side, you can see the margins of 25%. What margin do we see in product side?
Unknown Executive
Executivesproducts, I typically see 12% -- 10% to 12% EBITDA level margins.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. And the revenue contribution is going to stay the same, like from product, is it going to be around 69%
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesThere will be an expansion in the product segment grow at a rate of 10% to 15%, whereas our target is to double the revenue earned from camps. So you could look at it, you put then from this infer, what would be the revenue composition. We are increasing the revenue mix to higher profitability and higher stickiness service sector.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Okay. Understood. And we also are given are of around [indiscernible] crores of revenue in FY '27. So do we still see us achieving that kind of [indiscernible]
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesWe are in line with that. There is no change in our guidance.
Operator
Operator[Operator Instructions] the next question comes from the line of Pushkar [indiscernible] from Arihant Family Office.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsCongratulations on approvals for Mainboard.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesThank you.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo basically, I'll move to questions. So if we look at our numbers, if you compare H1 FY '26 revenue, -- and I guess that, that was grew by around 35%, 36% or -- and if we see the growth trajectory for the second half, that has moderated. So can you please close like what happened in H2 that our revenue came down to around INR 70 crores, INR 74 crores compared to INR 91 crores, INR 92 crores, so what were the major reasons and how we look at this?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesSo the reason of reduction in revenue is on the product segment. What happened is in quarter 3 and quarter 4, we started seeing some disruptions in delay in orders, also in delaying supply of materials. So that was the reason of the reduction and typically because of delays that we faced. And some part of that has been made up March orders, which have been pushed to April, May have come in.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsUnderstood. So are we looking in a more smoother FY '26 growth?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesAs of now FY '26 is -- the challenges that we faced last year, we're seeing them on the product side, then being alleviated. So we are definitely more positive on the quarter 1, quarter 2 as compared to what happened earlier.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsUnderstood. Understood. And sir, if we look at considerably operating profit margin and PAT margins, I don't know if someone else asked the same question. But what was the reason because do we grew on the top line, we have not grown EBITDA roughly around 1% or 2%, and PAT has declined -- so what are the major reasons? And how we see this going forward?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesThe major reason which addressed earlier and will address it again. the reason is the investments that we are making in our service segment, like we've guided, we target to double our service revenue in FY '26, '27. Doubling that FY '20 -- doubling this revenue requires a lot of investments in people, infrastructure, technology -- and that is something that we need to front-load as an investment before we could invoice for these services to our clients. So because of this investment being done and these are sort of intangible assets we are building, so it's people, software, customer developments, which don't get capitalized. So we have to charge them to offer revenue, and that is the reason of why see further reduction in margins.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsUnderstood. So sir, if you can quantify how much have you invested? Because if we see line by line, our employee cost has increased significantly because this year it was around 9 points on 6 years. FY '26, it significantly grown to INR 15.2. So there is a sharp increase in that. So was this increase basically driven by the Saarathi integration? Or as you mentioned, new teams were hired or any new contracts or contractual manpower addition.
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesSaarathi is any was consolidated into our revenue, which was consolidated even last year. So these investments are for the new and the expansion of patient service programs that is it we are expected -- that we have on our hand for '26, '27. So these are new hires or there are no new hires, significant hires in our product segment. All the new hirings is on our service segment. For example, for one of the programs that we've signed up, our target is to hire 1,000 employees -- 1,200 employees. So we can't have 1,200 employees coming in just in a month. So we've started recruiting and that is the reason for that increase in cost. And though it appears as a cause or a reduction in margin in a particular quarter, but this will be made up because these hirings and all of these are made based on back-to-back contracts. So we will be compensated for this and that compensation and margin will appear in -- over the whole year, over the whole '26, '27 years.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsUnderstood. So how many employees have we hired already out of those 12 -- 1,200, if you can number that?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesAs of -- as we speak today in the month of May, we have already hired about 800 to 850 of those employees.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Okay. And also another INR 400 crore, INR 350 crore to INR 400 crore more will be higher in maybe 1 or 2 quarters going forward. So this INR 15.2 crores will grow. It's not one-off the thing. So employee cost will be INR 16 crores, INR 17 crores going forward on an annual basis per minimum, if I'm not wrong, correct?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesYes, our employee cost will go. And so will our service revenue because we charge off these employee costs, along with the management fee to our clients. Because the the program-specific hires. I hope I'm able to clarify this point.
Operator
OperatorMr. Puskar, does that answer your question?
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesHe seems to have stopped.
Operator
OperatorI will move on to the next question. It's from the line of Nishita Sanklesha with [indiscernible] Capital.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSo I just wanted clarification, you mentioned that from TAM, we can do a revenue of around INR 18 crores to INR 20 crores. So just wanted to understand that -- like that is the lower revenue for the service segment? Or like from patients, which will do separate revenue.
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesOkay. So our service revenue comprises of 3 segments, 3 major 3 segments. One is the camp where we invoice on a per cap basis. The revenue model there is that we've invested in our network of employees all over the country, covering 5,000 PIN codes. Each of that employee has certain level of equipment with them. Typically, about INR 20 lakh to INR 25 lakh worth of equipment he has and which is a fixed cost to us. Once we pay the employee for the month, once we cover the basic breakeven, every additional camp that gets booked and conducted adds like -- 80%, 90% of it adds to our bottom line. That is a can promote, which is a copay per use model. The patient service program model is works differently, which is more on a fixed cost and fixed cost plus a margin model, where the company, for example, let's -- just an example of [indiscernible] where we have commitments to hire x number of employees have and maintained the infrastructure for their whole back end of the Humraahi program, the app, the website, the call centers. And we run that on a monthly basis and charge them on a monthly basis. So that's a cost-plus model, which is in the patient service program. The advantage of patient service programs is that our margins are fixed. We have whatever sometimes we try and increase efficiencies, which might help us get better margins. but the revenue is consistent because we are providing a level of service under the SLAs to these plants. So while camp has benefit of increase in margin just by adding a few camps, patient service programs are more long term in nature, camp is just a transactional sort of a service. The third segment, though very small for us, is an education program where we provide CME services and content to pharma companies. That has very high margins because incremental cost of new content to QMS is minimal. However, this is not a very scalable model here and there in a year, we get chance we get few contracts for that and we execute it based on the requirement. So I hope this explains to you the 3 models which are there in the services side of how we invoice our clients. It is based on a per camp basis where our costs are fixed and any incremental camp adds to the margins. The patient service programs or patient assistance programs, where based on SLAs, we have fixed cost and margins, which we locked into the companies and the education model where content cost is minimal, but we are able to build at good margins.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsYes. That was very helpful. So just my next question would be, so you mentioned that from the services segment, we are going to double our revenue. So is it safe to assume that since you've done around INR 50 crores of revenue from services in FY '26, we can double that revenue INR 200 crores.
Unknown Executive
ExecutivesAnd a significant portion of that, you will do the math, what we projected for the camps and the parents will come from the patients signed up. QMS has a huge boost from the implementation of GLP-1 drugs of our customers. So with all the new GLP-1 therapies being launched, therapy requires a lot of engagement with the patients to ensure that apart from the medicine, the other factors are taken care of so that the the patient gets the right outcome. So patient service programs are now more and more important and traditional Indian pharma companies who earlier would have never thought -- or were they had a lot of version to the support programs are now opening up and coming to QMS because we are the largest players, and we have experience and track record to show that we can efficiently handle all of these patients. So the reason we're able to confidently project this growth is because of the contracts we signed and a lot of these contracts pertain to the GLP-1 [indiscernible]
Operator
Operator[Operator Instructions] the next question comes from the line of [indiscernible].
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, just wanted to confirm, you said that INR 12 crores to INR 13 crores revenue from camp is for H2, correct?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesNo, last full year of services, the camps revenue was around INR 30-odd crores.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsFor FY '26?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesYes.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsSir, but in the presentation, you have mentioned that in 9 months, [indiscernible] around INR 16 crores revenue from camps. So the difference.
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesWe will tell you the details on that. We'll just [indiscernible] revised details on that.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsAnd number of total number of camps conducted in total financial year?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesThat is 32,300 camps which I said in my speech.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. So if I consider, let's say, INR 13 crores is for H2, if I consider going by the numbers in the parents and if I understand it correctly, sir, in H1, we did around 16,000 camps and in H2 also we did 16,000 camps roughly. But in H1, we did around INR 8.5 crores of revenue. And in H2, if I consider 13,000 camps in H1 comes to around INR 5,100 and in H2, it comes to around INR 8,000, so it's an increase of 55%. So can you please explain this difference?
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesSee, there are different -- each camp -- there's a different type of care case. Now whether it is a [indiscernible] camp or sometimes when it is a combination of timing as 1 camp or it's only just a plain, simple glucose camp, there all your revenues depend upon different type of things. And some camps, you have a fixed only 10 patients can it expected whether you have on whether 1 patient comes on how many. So you have a fixed 10-person -- some are working on per patient model also. So there are times in like DMD camps, sometimes they work on per patient model also. So there are different, different, different cost saves variations available actually. So it all depends upon the side of the industry. So we just talked about -- even INR 1,000 can be defined as a #1 camp only and a INR 10,000 camp also will be defined as one camp -- so there are different different combinations -- so all those numbers in depend upon all these variations.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Understood. And next year, you said that your target is to double the number of camps, so what revenue
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesYou expect? Sorry, target is not to double the number of camps, we are talking about using the revenue from INR 13 crores to INR 18 crores to INR 20 crores of profitability. That's a target that.
Unknown Analyst
AnalystsOkay. Sir, one just lastly, please confirm not on the call or we can connect later, but the number of the revenue from the camps because in the presentation for 9 months, it is mentioned INR 16 crores if we have predicting INR 13 crores for full year...
Mahesh Makhija
ExecutivesYou can speak to [indiscernible] we can we then discuss the in person so that's not a problem on that.
