1. Opening Hook
Just when everyone thought GST 2.0 would sharpen pencils for free, DOMS decided to rewrite the exam paper. September saw distributors panic, shelves clear out, and accountants cry over lost ITC. Yet somehow, DOMS still walked in with 24% growth and a straight face.
Between GST rates dropping to zero, MRPs being rejigged, Diwali shutting shops, and monsoons delaying factories, this quarter had more plot twists than a daily soap. And yet, management calmly talked about resilience, volume growth, and future capacity like nothing happened.
