Key facts
- Planned IPO proceeds: ₹1,500-2,000 crore ($165-220 million)
- IPO fresh issue: 25-35% plus offer for sale

What to watch
- Appointment of lead managers or IPO legal counsel.
- Conversion filings, board additions, independent directors and committee formation.
- DRHP filing with SEBI and disclosed split between fresh issue and offer for sale.
- Evidence that FY26 revenue growth remains above 20% while margins hold despite higher advertising spend.
- Net debt reduction, interest-cost trend and working-capital days.
- New factory/capex announcements, capacity utilization and supplier localization.
- Growth in offline distribution and non-fan category contribution.
- Consumer-appliance IPO valuations, broader Indian equity-market conditions and SEBI review timing.
- Appoint IPO bankers, legal advisers and auditors, then begin public-company governance and board-strengthening measures.
- Accelerate debt repayment and formalize capital-allocation plans to support an IPO use-of-proceeds narrative.
- Increase advertising and retail/distributor onboarding ahead of the fan-selling season to demonstrate sustained growth.
- Expand the product mix beyond ceiling fans into adjacent energy-efficient appliance categories, raising cross-sell and warranty-service requirements.
- Invest in manufacturing capacity, component sourcing and quality systems; greater scale may improve unit costs but increase inventory and execution risk.
- Prepare financial disclosures around profitability, channel mix, customer concentration, warranty provisions and related-party transactions.
