Chairman's Speech

It is my privilege to welcome you all to the 32nd Annual General Meeting. We are in an era of profound transformation. The rapid rise of e-commerce has reshaped consumer behaviour, pushing businesses to rethink traditional models and optimise supply chains, logistics, and customer engagement.

India?s publishing industry, the world?s third-largest and among the fastest-growing globally, is being transformed by the digital and e-commerce revolution.

Pioneering the digital revolution is Repro?s deep-tech platform, offering readers millions of titles, cost efficiently, in time, at their fingertips.

For decades, readers have faced limited choice when it comes to accessing the best and latest books at the lowest prices. Long lead times, high shipping and logistics costs, warehousing expenses, inventory mismanagement, and frequent obsolescence have all added to delays and inflated costs. These are some challenges faced by the publishing industry. Anticipating the evolving needs of the market, Repro has innovated a disruptive technology-driven solution to transform publishing.

The Repro platform addresses these long-standing inefficiencies by leveraging cutting-edge systems. At its core, the model focuses on acquiring and making millions of titles available to readers, on the most popular global e-commerce platforms. Readers can now access any book they want, whenever they want, and have it delivered to their doorstep in quick time. Moving from a first produce then sell model, to a first sell and then produce model, Repro thus produces each book only after it has been ordered online.

Content ingestion and integration

Simply put, thanks to the trust and strong publisher relationships Repro has built over decades, it has acquired a catalogue of millions of titles.

After ingestion on to the Repro platform and integration on global e-commerce demand-generators, Repro makes millions of titles discoverable to readers across the globe. This allows the Indian reader to have a vast choice of international titles; while also giving Indian titles global readership. The Onyx driven meta-data also makes it possible for titles to be curated and made available to various platform based on their market segment.

Today, we have already acquired titles that contribute to over 55% GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) of Repro?s Targetted Addressable Market. With over one million direct titles in our own repository and another eight million available through our Ingram partnership —readers get an unparalleled choice. Our content repository of titles that we make available to readers include all the key segments like Academic, Self-

Help, Fiction, Influencer and Youtuber books and international authors

- across languages.

The model also makes expensive and inaccessible global titles, more affordable and available to Indian readers. - giving international publishers an effective import substitution solution.

Enhancing the quality of revenue

Over the last few years, Repro has strategically focused on its disruptive digital business and deep-tech platform that delivers higher margins and stronger cash flows . I?m pleased to share that this business in just the last three years has grown 2.5X times and now contributes over 70% of our turnover. It will continue to play an increasingly significant role in our overall turnover.

Moving forward, content monetisation will remain the key driver of growth, powered by technology, talent, and innovative ways of connecting books to readers.

The focussed strategy for monetising content includes the following three main pillars:

A)An AI and ML meta-driven predictive Deep-Tech Platform Programme

We have developed proprietary, in-house technologies that provide patentable tools across the entire value chain. From content ingestion to content integration on e-commerce platforms to dynamic meta-data for ease of cataloguing and discoverability, the Repro deep-tech platform offers predictability across geographies.

B) The right talent to power the future

Repro?s success has been made possible by assembling a team that combines deep technological expertise and experience with a strong understanding of the publishing industry. Our talent pool - hired from top institutions like the IIT?s - spans a wide range of expertise — from software development, AI, and data analytics to content management, supply chain and logistics optimisation, e-commerce integration, and customer experience. This unique blend of technical, creative, and operational skills enables Repro to deliver seamless, end-to-end solutions that serve the entire publishing ecosystem efficiently and effectively.

C) Innovations across the entire value chain

Innovation has always been central to our journey. To monetise our extensive digital content library, we constantly innovate to deliver titles to readers worldwide in the fastest possible time. Some of our pioneering innovations have brought about a paradigm change in the publishing industry. While strengthening existing online channels like Amazon — where we remain a Preferred Support Partner (PSP) — and Flipkart, we have also partnered with Amazon UAE, Noon Dubai, and other leaders in various western markets.

Our innovative Global Distribution Program (GDP), in partnership with Ingram, brings publishers? entire catalogues to the global stage. Leveraging the world?s largest content aggregator and distributor, over 6 million titles reach over 45,000 international channels, in key markets.

As a pioneering initiative, we launched India?s first B2B portal to digitise

100% of publisher catalogues through automated ingestion. This creates a monetisable, highly discoverable content catalogue across online channels. By using AI and ML enriched metadata, we deliver a wider, more curated, and customised selection of books to readers. This also enables titles to be curated and made available to various platform based on their market segment.

We are setting up asset light micro print-on-demand facilities (micro pods) that are data backed and enable stock replication of fast selling titles in strategic locations close to the customer.

Data driven technology powers our model end-to-end — from content ingestion, automated listing, pricing, and order processing, all coordinated through the Repro Control Tower. Seamless integration of

ERP, WMS, MSP, and timely reporting ensures efficiency. Our Warehouse Integrated Model (WIM) offers publishers a complete solution — from printing to warehousing to distribution — maximising catalogue monetisation, sales, and margins.

Another example of our innovations is the setting up of our own B2C channel - Bookscape. Bookscape is a cutting-edge digital platform that connects publishers, authors, and readers in a vibrant, piracy-free ecosystem. Hosting over 4 million titles it offers curated discovery, international reach, and immersive content to its growing base of 3.4 lakh readers. Powered by Print-on-Demand technology, a robust supply chain, and an agile, discovery-led user experience, Bookscape blends commerce, storytelling, and community through podcasts, videos, author interviews, and influencer collaborations redefining how books are discovered and delivered.

Looking to the future

Today, Repro stands as a testament to the power of talent and technology in driving sustainable growth. Our integrated solutions are transforming us into a high-margin, scalable, distribution-led, data-driven business.

With clear strategies, strong infrastructure, and continued investment in people and technology, Repro is well-positioned to meet the publishing industry?s evolving needs while creating long-term value for stakeholders.

As we look to the year ahead, I do so with optimism. Thank you — our shareholders, partners, and employees — for your trust and support. Together, we are building a future of opportunity, innovation, and excellence.

Thank you.
Vinod Vohra,
Chairman
