The company’s financial performance shows promising growth. Revenue increased by 10% and profit after tax (PAT) rose by 12% between FY23 and FY24.

The IPO allocation was 50% for Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs), at least 15% for Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs), and at least 25% for retail investors.
IIFL Securities and Motilal Oswal Investment Advisors acted as book-runners, while Kfin Technologies served as the registrar. Pre-IPO, a strong anchor investor round raised ₹123.01 crore. Analysts at Anand Rathi recommended a long-term subscription, citing a P/E of 43.01x and EV/EBITDA of 30.08x at the upper price band.
