Chanakya View

Rays of Belief Limited operates a distinctive and socially relevant business providing intervention and developmental-care programmes for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. Its “Mom’s Belief” network expanded rapidly from 71 centres in FY23 to 136 centres as of March 2026, covering 57 cities across 20 states and union territories.

The company’s FY26 total income increased sharply by 125% to Rs. 82.06 crore. EBITDA rose substantially to Rs. 11.91 crore, and the EBITDA margin improved to 14.59%. However, PAT declined by 16% to Rs. 4.96 crore, while the PAT margin fell from 16.15% to 6.07%. This indicates that rapid business expansion has not yet translated into proportionate bottom-line growth.

The balance sheet is comfortable, with borrowings of only Rs. 3.61 crore and a debt-equity ratio of 0.12. Nevertheless, valuation is the biggest concern. At Rs. 239, the IPO is valued at a post-issue P/E of approximately 100.84 times and a market capitalisation of Rs. 499.55 crore. Such a valuation assumes exceptionally strong growth for several years.

The specialised business model and expansion potential are attractive, but investors are being asked to pay a very high price for that opportunity. Listing-gain applicants should consider the IPO only if GMP and institutional subscription remain strong.

Chanakya Recommendation: 🔴 Avoid at Present

About the Company

Incorporated in 2017, Rays of Belief Limited is a for-profit social enterprise providing personalised intervention plans for children with neurodevelopmental disorders. These include Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities and global developmental delays.

Operating under the “Mom’s Belief” brand, the company primarily serves children between 18 months and 12 years. Specialised vocational and life-skills programmes are also available for children up to 15 years.

Its services include early intervention, occupational therapy, language therapy, parental guidance and family-support programmes. The company has more than 340 full-time clinical professionals and uses over 150 teaching tools at its centres, supplemented by home-learning kits containing more than 2,000 tools.

The network includes 42 centres in Tier-I cities, 77 in Tier-II cities and 17 in Tier-III cities. In June 2025, the company entered the US market by acquiring Mom’s Belief US Inc., which presently operates three centres in Virginia.

Why This IPO Stands Out

✅ Distinctive business addressing an underserved healthcare and developmental-care segment.

✅ Network of 136 centres across 57 cities.

✅ Strong presence in Tier-II and Tier-III markets.

✅ FY26 revenue increased by 125%.

✅ EBITDA margin improved from 8.28% to 14.59%.

✅ Low debt-equity ratio of 0.12.

✅ Initial international presence through three US centres.

Key Risks

⚠ Post-issue P/E of approximately 100.84 times is extremely demanding.

⚠ PAT declined by 16% in FY26 despite sharp revenue growth.

⚠ PAT margin fell substantially from 16.15% to 6.07%.

⚠ Expansion requires qualified clinical professionals and consistent service quality.

⚠ Overseas operations introduce regulatory, execution and currency-related risks.

⚠ A large IPO compared with the company’s present profit base may dilute return ratios.

Financial Snapshot (Rs. Crore)

Chanakya Interpretation

Revenue and EBITDA growth have been impressive, while debt remains low. However, the decline in FY26 profit and contraction in PAT margin require attention. Investors must distinguish between rapid network expansion and sustainable earnings growth.
