In context
“s clearly trending above the macro, we think is pretty good.

Based on just the momentum that we happen to be building here. So we feel pretty good this year. We think we will be about $450 million above macro in the full year. Little bit better than we thought last quarter $340, $350. And that is largely on the back of good commercial excellence but the machine churning faster on innovation. So all good signs and, you know, we are we are very pleased with the performance in the quarter and we expect our momentum continue. Great. And then maybe just unrelated, follow-up for Anurag.
