What to watch
- Any increase in promoter share pledging, invocation of pledged shares, or decline in promoter ownership.
- Additional quarterly losses, falling revenue, lower gross booking value, or negative operating cash flow.
- Share-price declines large enough to raise questions about collateral top-ups or lender selling.
- Disclosure of personal-use borrowing that appears large relative to promoter liquidity or lacks clear repayment visibility.
- Auditor comments, related-party transaction developments, board changes, or delayed statutory disclosures.
