Liqvd Digital's IPO has witnessed a cumulative subscription of 1.19x by the end of Day 2. Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB) have fully subscribed to their portion at 1.00x, while the Non-Institutional Investors (sHNI) category leads with an 8.15x subscription.

Subscription Status

The issue has crossed the full subscription mark, driven primarily by institutional and high-net-worth individual interest. While the QIB category remains steady, the retail investor participation continues to be minimal compared to other categories. The sHNI segment saw a notable jump, rising from 7.60x on Day 1 to 8.15x on Day 2.

Day 2 24-09-2026 1.00x 0.23x 8.15x 0.12x 1.19x

About the Company

Liqvd Digital India Limited, founded in 2013, is a creative-first, full-service digital marketing agency.

Total Revenue ₹60.89 crore ₹25.03 crore ₹18.28 crore
Profit Before Tax ₹10.51 crore ₹3.21 crore ₹3.21 crore
Total Profit ₹6.79 crore ₹2.25 crore ₹1.90 crore

Objects of the Issue

The proceeds from the IPO will be utilized for the following purposes:

  • Acquisition Stake: Funding purchase consideration for acquiring the remaining 23.21% equity stake in AdLift Marketing Private Limited (₹9.00 crore).
  • Video Production Hub: Establishing a Full Scale Video Content Production Hub across Mumbai and Gurgaon (₹10.59 crore).
  • Working Capital: Meeting incremental working capital requirements arising from business expansion (₹6.57 crore).
  • General Corporate Purposes: Strategic unidentified acquisitions and general corporate purposes.

Risk Factors

Key risks associated with the company include:

  • Revenue Concentration: A material portion of revenues is derived from its Corporate Promoter, Concept Communication Limited (12.62% consolidated in FY2026).
  • Client Dependence: High dependence on top 10 clients, which accounted for 52.12% of revenue in FY2026.
  • Negative Cash Flows: Recorded negative cash flows from operating activities in FY2025 and investing activities in FY2026 due to acquisition payments.
  • Statutory Dues Delays: History of delays in payment of statutory dues including GST, TDS, PF, ESIC, and Professional Tax.
  • High Attrition: Employee attrition rate stood at 44.24% in FY2026, significantly above the industry average.

How might the extreme disparity between sHNI and retail subscription levels influence Liqvd Digital's stock price volatility on its listing day?

Will the company's plan to utilize IPO proceeds for the AdLift Marketing acquisition significantly mitigate the identified risks of revenue concentration and client dependence in future quarters?

Given the 44.24% employee attrition rate, what specific retention strategies will management implement post-IPO to ensure the stability of its AI-driven content and SEO operations?
