Objects of the Issue

  • AI Innovation Lab: ₹5.66 crore towards purchasing IT hardware including laptops, servers, storage, and switches for setting up an Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Experience Laboratory within existing premises.
  • Working Capital: ₹24.00 crore towards incremental working capital requirements for the projected fiscal year.
  • General Corporate Purposes: Balance proceeds towards operating expenses, business development, and strategic initiatives, subject to a cap of 15% of the amount raised or ₹10 crore, whichever is lower.

Risk Factors

  • Customer and Supplier Concentration: Top 10 customers contributed 88.77% of revenue in Fiscal 2026, while top 10 suppliers accounted for 99.62%–100% of total purchases. Loss of any key customer or supplier could materially affect business and revenue.
  • Working Capital Intensity: Working capital requirements grew to ₹3,522.28 lakhs in Fiscal 2026, up from ₹2,364.04 lakhs in Fiscal 2025. Inability to maintain sufficient cash flow or credit facilities could adversely affect financial condition.
  • Negative Cash Flows from Investing Activities: The company recorded negative cash flows from investing activities of ₹875.72 lakhs, ₹275.29 lakhs, and ₹655.68 lakhs in Fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024 respectively.
  • Key Personnel Dependence: Employee benefits expenses represent 33.44% of total income in Fiscal 2026, reflecting reliance on skilled talent. High attrition or inability to retain qualified professionals could disrupt operations.
  • Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Risk: IT-dependent operations are vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches. Non-compliance with evolving data privacy laws could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage.

What's Next

The IPO closes on October 5, 2026. Allotment is scheduled for October 6, 2026, with listing expected on October 8, 2026 on the stock exchanges.

Will the continued absence of QIB interest through the remaining subscription days signal broader institutional skepticism regarding EverestIMS' valuation or customer concentration risks?

How might the sharp intraday surge in retail demand influence the final pricing band selection if the issue remains undersubscribed at close?

Can EverestIMS effectively mitigate its high top-10 customer dependency to reassure institutional investors before the October 8 listing?
