- Listing premium or discount versus the ₹546–₹575 price band and post-listing trading liquidity.
- Disclosed use-of-proceeds split between lease liabilities, new experience centres, technology, inventory and working capital.
- Same-store sales growth, new-centre ramp times, gross margin and EBITDA/operating cash-flow trends after listing.
- Luxury discretionary-demand indicators, wedding-season spending and premium-mall rental escalation.
- Competitive responses from luxury marketplaces, department stores, designer-owned boutiques and premium mall landlords.
- Prioritize IPO proceeds toward lease-liability reduction to improve balance-sheet flexibility and support new-store negotiations.

- Tighten store-level profitability reporting and inventory discipline as public investors scrutinize payback periods, markdowns and working-capital intensity.
