•    The company primarily started finance-related services.
•    Off late it has entered into the entertainment industry with OTT Channel.
•    It has posted an erratic top line with the rising bottom line. 
•    Based on its financial data, the issue is fully priced.

The issue is solely lead managed by Capitalsquare Advisors Pvt. Ltd. and Purva Sharegistry (India) Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar to the issue.

(FY20) and Rs. 7.97 cr. / Rs. 1.34 cr. (FY21). Thus it marked declining trends for its top line but marked growth in bottom lines.

The company has no dividend track record for the reported period in the offer documents. It will adopt a prudent dividend policy post this issue based on its financial performance and future prospects. 

SCRIP PERFORMANCE: BASED ON BSE WEBSITE DATA: SCRIP CODE: 501314
The scrip last closed on cum-right basis at Rs. 8.29 on February 28, 2022, and opened on an ex-rights basis at Rs. 6.32 on March 02, 2022. Since then, it has posted a high/low of Rs. 7.70 / Rs. 6.32. It last closed at Rs. 7.05 (on March 11, 2022) and based on this closing, its market cap on post-RI stands at Rs. 286.21 cr. It has posted the last 52 weeks high/low of Rs. 12.90 / Rs. 3.74. 

This counter is well operated in the market despite a very small promoter holding.

Conclusion / Investment Strategy

The counter is well operated by vested interests to lure investors for this RI offer. Based on its financial data, the issue is fully priced. Cash surplus/risk seeker investors may consider parking of funds for the long term.
