INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

The number of internet subscribers in India is expected to increase from 446 million as on December 2017 to nearly 900 million by FY22 primarily driven by growth in wireless broadband services. Moreover, the fall in data prices coupled with increase in availability and affordability of smart phones, has resulted in users increasingly consuming content on their mobile devices. The digital classified market is expected to grow at a 14% CAGR over FY17-22 to reach a size of Rs. 77mn in FY22. The e-commerce market in India was estimated to be around INR 2,350 billion in 2017 and is projected to continue growing to reach INR 5,350 billion by 2020.

Additionally, the B2B digital classified market is estimated to more than double to Rs12bn by FY22, representing a growth of 18.5% CAGR over FY17-22. As of 2017, only 32 percent of SMEs in India were digitally connected69 and 17% used internet for business purposes.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

VALUATION

Going forward, India mart seeks to increase its revenue by attracting more paying suppliers and achieve better realization per customer through sale of gold and platinum packages. Moreover, with increase in leverage in mobile penetration in India and promoting the use of its mobile website and app will consequently increase the number of active buyers and suppliers on online marketplace. During FY19, 76% of traffic came through the same.

No doubt, in past company incurred losses, which is quite evident in the business model it operates in. As to increase & retain the buyers & sellers requires time. However for FY19, it has started delivering profits & we expect the traction to continue further. Having unique business model with limited peers attract the company. In addition, company has already set up platform in past years in terms of online marketplace and now, can reap the benefits of the same by additional buyers & suppliers at its place without having much expenditure.

Company has turnaround from losses to profit in the current year, which is expected to continue. Moreover, for having a unique business model, one may SUBSCRIBE  the IPO for listing gains.
