Bodhtree Consulting to rename as Datakosa, raise capital via preferential issue

Bodhtree Consulting Limited has approved a strategic rebranding to Datakosa Limited alongside a preferential equity issuance, signaling a pivot toward data engineering, analytics, and real estate ventures. The Board of Directors approved these resolutions on August 11, 2026, marking a structural shift in the company’s business identity and capital base. Shareholders will vote on these proposals at the 44th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for September 09, 2026.

The name change reflects the company’s new line of business activities under a renewed vision. While the legal status and obligations remain unchanged, the rebranding aims to align the corporate identity with its emerging focus areas. Concurrently, the Board approved the issuance of Equity Shares on a preferential basis to non-promoter investors, subject to member approval. These actions were disclosed pursuant to Regulation 30 and 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and SEBI Master Circular no. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026.

Preferential Allotment Details

The company proposes to issue 23,52,940 fully paid-up Equity Shares with a face value of Rs.10 each. The issue price is set at Rs.17 per share, including a premium of Rs.7 per share. The allotment is divided equally between two new investors: M/s. Nerdix Technologies LLP and M/s. Virello Estates LLP. Neither investor currently holds any shares in the company.

Investor Name	Shares Allotted	Post-Issue Holding (%)
M/s. Nerdix Technologies LLP	11,76,740	4.86
M/s. Virello Estates LLP	11,76,740	4.86
Total	23,52,940	9.72

The post-allotment equity holding for each investor will stand at 4.86%, resulting in a combined dilution of 9.72% for existing shareholders. The transaction does not trigger an open offer under the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

AGM and Voting Timeline

The 44th AGM will be held on Wednesday, September 09, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (IST) via Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means. The Register of Members and Share Transfer Books will remain closed on Thursday, September 03, 2026, which serves as the record date for determining eligibility to attend and vote. Remote e-voting will commence at 9:00 a.m. (IST) on Sunday, September 06, 2026, and conclude at 5:00 p.m. (IST) on Tuesday, September 08, 2026. Mr. Y. Ravi Prasada Reddy, Practicing Company Secretary and Proprietor of M/s. RPR & Associates, has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for the e-voting process.

What the Numbers Show

The introduction of two new institutional investors—Nerdix Technologies LLP and Virello Estates LLP—suggests a strategic alignment with the company’s stated focus on technology and real estate. By allocating equal stakes to both entities, the company is diversifying its shareholder base while securing capital for its expanded operations. The absence of pre-issue holdings indicates these are fresh entries, potentially bringing specialized expertise or resources relevant to the new data engineering and real estate verticals.

Bodhtree Consulting Limited reported a standalone net loss of ₹146.30 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 (Q1FY26), a sharp deterioration from the net profit of ₹30.81 lakh recorded in Q1FY25. While income from operations saw a marginal increase to ₹194.12 lakh from ₹191.03 lakh year-ago, the company’s profitability was eroded by a substantial rise in operating costs, particularly employee benefits, which more than doubled during the period.

The Board of Directors, chaired by Whole-time Director & CEO Prashanth Mitta, approved the unaudited financial results on August 11, 2026. The results were subjected to a limited review by the statutory auditors, M/s. RSM & Associates., pursuant to Regulation 33 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Financial Performance Highlights

Income from operations increased by 1.6% year-on-year to ₹194.12 lakh. However, this growth was insufficient to offset the expansion in expenditure. Total expenditure rose to ₹350.70 lakh in Q1FY26, compared to ₹161.04 lakh in Q1FY25. The most significant contributor to this cost inflation was employee benefits expense, which jumped to ₹129.34 lakh from ₹51.63 lakh in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Work execution expenses also increased to ₹188.12 lakh from ₹81.84 lakh.

Particulars	Q1FY26 (₹ Lakh)	Q1FY25 (₹ Lakh)	Change
Income from Operations	194.12	191.03	+1.6%
Total Expenditure	350.70	161.04	+117.8%
Profit / (Loss) Before Tax	(145.97)	31.91	Turn to Loss
Net Profit / (Loss)	(146.30)	30.81	Turn to Loss

Other income stood at ₹10.61 lakh, down from ₹1.92 lakh in Q1FY25, though this figure remains volatile compared to the ₹121.74 lakh recorded in FY25 as a whole. Finance costs were minimal at ₹0.23 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between modest revenue growth and aggressive cost escalation signals a period of structural adjustment or strategic hiring for Bodhtree Consulting. The doubling of employee benefits expense suggests an increase in headcount or compensation revisions that have not yet translated into proportional revenue generation. With total comprehensive income at ₹7.55 lakh, driven largely by other comprehensive income items rather than operational profitability, investors should monitor whether these elevated fixed costs lead to scalable revenue growth in subsequent quarters.

The company operates in a single segment: IT-enabled services. Paid-up equity share capital remained unchanged at ₹2,186.56 lakh. Basic and diluted earnings per share were ₹0.03, compared to ₹0.15 in Q1FY25.
