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.
