What to watch
- Anchor-book participation and institutional versus retail subscription levels.
- Grey-market premium and final-day demand relative to the ₹384–404 price band.
- Post-issue debt levels, interest-cost reduction and working-capital requirements.
- Management guidance on warehouse additions, experience-store rollout and city expansion pace.
- Quarterly trends in active subscribers, average order value, utilization, churn, delivery costs and refurbishment expense.
- Listing-day performance and whether the implied roughly ₹4,206 crore market capitalization is sustained.
- Competitive pricing moves by furniture rental, appliance rental and buy-now-pay-later/home-furnishing platforms.
- Market the IPO around recurring rental demand, urban household mobility and the debt-reduction use of fresh proceeds.
- Use debt repayment to lower interest expense and improve post-listing cash-flow optics.
- Prioritize warehouse investments in high-density cities where delivery utilization and reverse-logistics economics are strongest.
- Deploy experience-store leases selectively, measuring store-led conversion, customer acquisition cost and cross-category attachment before wider rollout.
- Prepare detailed disclosures on asset utilization, refurbishment cycles, defaults, churn, contribution margin and cohort profitability to address public-market concerns.
