Subscription Status
The subscription for Dove Soft Limited's IPO saw no movement on Day 3, ending the trading session at 0.92 times the issue size. The overall demand profile remained static compared to the close of Day 2. While the Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) category has achieved full uptake, the Non-Institutional and Retail categories continue to show moderate participation. The lack of incremental demand on the third day suggests that the bulk of institutional interest was captured earlier in the offering period.

The company reported consolidated revenue of ₹27,398.01 lakhs in FY2026, reflecting a CAGR of ~66% since FY2022. The asset-light, usage-based model supports scalable recurring revenues with an EBITDA margin of ~11.96% in FY2026.

| Total Income (₹ Crores) | 274.74 | 188.26 | 119.79 |

Objects of the Issue
The company intends to utilize the IPO proceeds for the following purposes:
- Working Capital Requirements: To fund day-to-day operational expenses, enhance product offerings, and strengthen relationships with telecom operators and vendors by negotiating better pricing and credit terms.
- General Corporate Purposes: For business development initiatives, salaries, rent, administration costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance, and payment of taxes and duties.
- Offer Related Expenses: To cover listing fees, underwriting commission, BRLM fees, legal counsel fees, registrar fees, printing, advertising, and other incidental expenses for listing the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges.
Risk Factors
- Dependency on Strategic Relationships: The company's ability to provide services is highly dependent on relationships with channel partners and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs). Consolidation within the telecommunications industry or inability to maintain these relationships could significantly impact reputation, profitability, and overall business operations.
- High Client Concentration Risk: The company is dependent on a limited number of clients for a substantial portion of revenues, with the top 1 client contributing 37.60%, 30.61%, and 54.82% of revenue from operations for FY2026, FY2025, and FY2024, respectively.
- Geographic Revenue Concentration: Approximately 89.40% of revenue is derived from clients in Northern and Western India (FY2026). Any economic deterioration or regulatory changes in these regions could adversely affect business.
- Technology Systems Failures: Service delivery relies on technology systems vulnerable to power loss, telecom failures, natural disasters, cyber threats, and software defects. Disruptions could result in service suspension and revenue decline.
- High Dependency on Limited Service Providers: The top 1 service provider accounts for 71.00%, 59.69%, and 50.40% of revenue from operations for FY2026, FY2025, and FY2024, respectively, with procurement based on purchase orders without long-term agreements.
