Rossari Biotech Ltd

How has the macro environment evolved this year, and what role is India playing in the shifting global landscape?

The global business environment this year has been marked by a series of formidable challenges, ranging from geopolitical crises to forex volatility and regional conflicts such as the war in Europe. However, these hurdles have only highlighted India's resilience and strategic position on the global stage. India stands at a pivotal moment in its economic journey, with global shifts creating unprecedented tailwinds. The trade realignments pushing global demand towards more stable and scalable supply partners. With rising tariffs on Chinese exports, India is well-positioned to capture a larger share of global manufacturing and trade. This macro momentum is signalling a structural pivot where India's growing capabilities, policy support, and trusted position in the global value chain are converging.

As global markets recalibrate, India's resilience, adaptability and scalability offer promising prospects for continued growth in the coming years.

What does 'Strength to Scale:

The Next Leap' mean to you as a Company?

This year, we have focused on connecting the dots across divisions, technologies, and markets to unlock synergy. Our theme embodies our belief that the foundations we have built over the last decade now equip us to scale with confidence and clarity. It reflects our evolution from a product company to a platform of innovation- led, performance-driven divisions. Whether it's using enzymes across poultry and homecare or aligning ethoxylates with pet care and HPPC, we are building an interconnected growth engine. Our goal is not just to grow each division independently, but to drive them in a way that amplifies their strengths collectively. The next leap is about building a business that is integrated, intelligent, and impactful and we are ready.

What strengths across business divisions position the company for sustained future growth?

Our business divisions continued to contribute meaningfully to overall growth, underpinned by disciplined execution and strategic focus. The HPPC division delivered a strong performance across key product categories, reinforcing its relevance and market positioning amidst evolving consumer preferences. Our TSC division saw growth, especially in export markets, supported by enhanced competitiveness of our offerings. This was further supported by our agility in delivering tailored solutions that meet both functional and sustainability requirements. Meanwhile, the AHN business showed encouraging signs of recovery, supported by increased product adoption across key end- user segments and deeper market penetration. This growth was further driven by targeted portfolio realignment, rising demand for health and efficiency-enhancing solutions, and a robust pipeline of high- performance, value-added products tailored to evolving industry needs.

How Are Exports Contributing to Rossari Biotech's Strategic Expansion?

Rossari Biotech is witnessing strong traction in export markets, propelled by strategic focus in key "Bravo" markets-Brazil, Russia, America, Vietnam, & Ottoman Turkey. This growth stems from our proactive approach to tapping new and untapped customers, deepening partnerships with key accounts, and a differentiated portfolio of flagship products like phenoxyethanol and surfactants for personal care, home care, and cosmetics. Our competitiveness in challenging global

markets like China and Taiwan has been reinforced by our commitment to high-quality, sustainable solutions especially in silicone chemistry, where we are one of the leading supplier of finishing chemicals in the towel industry across India. We continue to increase our penetration in North America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and parts of Europe, where demand for high-quality specialty chemical solutions remains strong.

The synergy from Tristar and Unitop has unlocked new cross-selling opportunities, while upcoming global hubs in Thailand and Dubai will serve as strategic bases to optimise cost structures and streamline international operations. With our strong foundation, product innovation, and scalable growth, Rossari is poised to make this a landmark year towards becoming a leading global player in specialty chemicals.

How is Innovation enabling Our Next Leap in Growth and Scale? Innovation continues to be our most potent lever for scale. Over the past year, our R&D teams have been at the centre of our operations - designing spin finishes for synthetic and technical textiles, building green surfactants and emulsifiers for home and personal care, developing enzyme- based formulations for poultry and aqua. We are now evolving from a formulation-centric approach to developing platform technologies with multi-vertical applicability. Our strategic entry into the Oil & Gas chemicals sector has been marked by significant product development and early market engagement, positioning us for sustained growth in a high-potential industry. Backed by a dedicated team, and strong customer interest , we are confident in our ability to build long-term value in this space. This approach goes

beyond refining existing products; it's about anticipating market trends and proactively positioning ourselves to meet future demands at scale. As we move forward, R&D is becoming deeply integrated into our core business strategy. We are fostering, a culture of innovation that shapes every aspect of our operations and ensures we remain at the forefront of industry advancements.

How is sustainability shaping Rossari toward responsible growth?

As we prepare for accelerated growth, we remain deeply committed to growing responsibly. Sustainability is embedded in every aspect of our operations, from R&D to manufacturing to strategic business planning. We are actively transitioning to biodegradable, eco-friendly formulations across textiles and personal care, building enzyme- based solutions to reduce chemical load, and driving zero-discharge and energy efficiency initiatives at our plants. Beyond the product, we are also strengthening our processes and our people through data-led monitoring systems, and clear lines of accountability. To us, sustainability is not a passing phase, it is the bedrock of our operations, enabling us to take the next leap in our future growth. In the years ahead, our success will be measured not only by what we make but how we make it; and on that front, our resolve has never been stronger.
