Will the absence of Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) on Day 1 signal a lack of institutional confidence, potentially leading to the IPO being undersubscribed or withdrawn?
Given the company's negative equity of ₹-52.28 crores and widening losses in FY 2026, how sustainable is the current valuation band of ₹546–₹575 per share in the near term?
How will Purple Style Labs mitigate the risk of heavy dependence on womenswear (77.7% of GMV) if consumer spending patterns shift or luxury fashion trends change post-listing?
