What to watch

  • DRHP filing, including fresh-issue versus offer-for-sale mix, stated use of proceeds, promoter dilution, and anchor-investor demand.
  • FY26 revenue growth relative to FY25 operating revenue of ₹958.4 crore, with particular attention to whether growth remains above the broader fan and appliances market.
  • EBITDA margin, operating cash flow, inventory days, receivable days, and dealer-credit exposure as indicators of whether growth is efficiently funded.
  • Evidence of category expansion beyond fans and the contribution of non-fan products to revenue and gross margin.
  • Offline distribution additions, retailer/dealer economics, repeat purchase indicators, and geographic penetration outside major urban markets.
  • Competitive responses from Havells, Crompton, Orient Electric, Bajaj Electricals, Usha, and private-label/e-commerce brands in BLDC and smart-fan segments.
  • SEBI review observations, changes in public-market sentiment toward consumer-durables IPOs, and valuation benchmarks from comparable listed appliance companies.
  • Appoint remaining board and committee members required for a listed-company governance framework, including audit, nomination-remuneration, and stakeholder-relationship oversight.
  • Select merchant bankers, legal advisers, auditors, and registrar; begin IPO diligence and restatement of financials.
  • Prepare and file a DRHP, likely emphasizing revenue growth, BLDC-fan category leadership, energy-saving differentiation, and expansion into adjacent appliances.
  • Increase sales through multi-brand retail, modern trade, e-commerce, and regional dealer networks to demonstrate broader distribution depth before listing.
  • Prioritize margin visibility through supply-chain scale, component sourcing, manufacturing efficiency, and a higher mix of premium products.
  • Use the IPO process to formalize disclosure around promoter holdings, related-party transactions, ESOPs, litigation, product warranties, and working-capital requirements.
