Anil Khanna, Managing Director said, "The macroeconomic situation in the last 2-3 years has not been encouraging to support growth.

We are a insanely customer centric and highly people focused company. The brand is our most critical asset. The "I love my Blue Dart" campaign will continue throughout the year to enable us to deliver superior brand experience. At the end of the day, we always bet on our people as part of our people first philosophy to make the brand stronger."
