Raymond Group Chairman and Managing Director Gautam Hari Singhania outlined a new strategic vision -- Raymond 2.0 -- for the century-old conglomerate.
The Group will now focus on three independent and focused verticals Lifestyle, Real Estate, and Engineering.
Singhania said the Group’s disciplined approach to capital allocation, combined with strategic assets and deep understanding of the Indian consumer will deliver sustainable returns.
Raymond 2.0 strategy will continue focusing on shareholder value creation and growth.
“As Raymond Group steps into its next century, I am thrilled to unveil —Raymond 2.0—a bold vision to reinvent our 100-year-old brand into a modern, purpose-led enterprise aligned with India’s transformation. This milestone, marked by the listing of Raymond Realty with commitment to deliver exceptional shareholder value and sets the stage for ambitious journey toward building a global Indian powerhouse,” he said.
The Raymond Group Chairman said that the conglomerate has successfully created three independent, net debt-free, and focused entities, each with strong management and governance frameworks.
While Raymond Lifestyle is positioned to become the nation’s most comprehensive lifestyle destination, the Realty business is expected to be the second lever of growth with its ₹40,000 crore project pipeline.
Going forward, the Raymond Engineering arm, housed in Raymond is also expected to sustain double-digit growth given its capabilities in critical high-growth sectors—aerospace, defence, and automotive.
The Raymond Group has undergone a transformation over the past five years with having achieved net debt free status and divestment of its FMCG business along with acquisition and consolidation of its Engineering capabilities.
This transformation is reflected in the Group’s market performance. Raymond Group’s market capitalization has surged from less than ₹1,500 crore in March 2020 to ₹11,600 crore (excluding Realty) as of June 27—representing a compound annual growth rate exceeding 50 per cent.
With Raymond Realty expected to list at a market capitalization between ₹8,000-12,000 crore according to analysts, the combined Group market cap could approach ₹20,000 crore.
