• The company is operating in a highly competitive and fragmented segment.
• Its financial data is not impressive and in line with the asking price.
• Surprised surge in the bottom line for 3Qs of FY23 appears window dressing.
• Higher equity base post-RI may pose servicing issues.
• There is no harm in skipping this greedy RI offer.
