What's Next

Will the complete lack of Qualified Institutional Buyer (QIB) interest signal a potential valuation mismatch or broader skepticism regarding the company's growth trajectory?
How might the high customer concentration risk, with top clients accounting for over 58% of revenue, impact the company's post-IPO stability and stock volatility?
Could the significant contingent liabilities related to taxation matters pose a hidden financial burden that might affect future earnings per share?
