1. Opening Hook
When even India’s heatwave took a quarter off, Amber Enterprises found itself cooling profits instead of rooms. With monsoons washing away RAC demand and customers waiting for GST cuts, the company’s “Make in India” mood met a “Made in China” slowdown. Yet, amid all this chaos, Amber somehow managed a flat top line — resilience or just well-timed diversification?
Stick around — because this call had everything: copper price shocks, Israeli acquisitions, and CFO optimism that deserves an award for bravery.
