What to watch

  • Subscription mix across QIB, HNI and retail investors, plus grey-market premium and final issue pricing.
  • Post-IPO debt-to-equity, interest expense trend and lease-liability disclosures.
  • Revenue growth relative to FY26 profitability, especially whether net income remains positive after network expansion.
  • Warehouse/store rollout pace, occupancy or utilization metrics, delivery lead times and reverse-logistics costs.
  • Average rental tenure, churn, customer acquisition cost, repeat-rental rates and refurbishment/write-off levels.
  • Competitive pricing moves by rental, marketplace, co-living and consumer-finance platforms.
  • Performance after the planned September 17 listing, particularly whether institutional investors support the stock beyond initial trading.
  • Accelerate debt repayment after allotment and disclose the resulting interest-cost and leverage reduction.
  • Expand warehouses and experience stores selectively in high-density metro catchments where reverse-logistics costs are lowest.
  • Use the public listing to strengthen partnerships with housing platforms, employers, co-living operators and appliance suppliers.
  • Increase focus on inventory utilization, refurbishment recovery, customer retention and contribution margin disclosures to reassure investors about asset-heavy economics.
  • Competitors in furniture rental and used-furniture commerce may respond with promotional pricing, bundled appliance plans or faster-delivery promises in major cities.
