IPO Snapshot: Opportunity at a Glance

AJC is now entering the capital markets with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of Rs.15.39 crore. While the issue size is modest, only 5,42,400 shares are reserved for retail investors and 3,03,600 shares for non-institutional investors (NIIs), making it a focused opportunity for discerning participants.

Financially, AJC has shown consistent growth. In FY 2023-24, the company reported a net profit of Rs.6.51 crore on a total revenue of Rs.131.14 crore — a strong performance that reflects robust operations and growing demand. The IPO is priced at a P/E multiple of 12.73, offering investors a fundamentally attractive valuation.

Market Mood & Final Take

Despite strong fundamentals, the broader market is currently witnessing lukewarm investor sentiment, driven by an influx of IPOs and global geopolitical uncertainties. As a result, there is no grey market premium (GMP) at present.

For investors looking beyond short-term noise and focused on value, AJC’s IPO offers a compelling long-term opportunity backed by solid financials and a legacy of craftsmanship.

Aakaar Medical Technologies IPO Review by Paresh Gordhandas, CA & Research Analyst.

Aakaar Medical Technologies Limited is one of India’s fastest-growing players in the aesthetic and cosmetic medical space. Positioned at the intersection of innovation and wellness, Aakaar delivers a premium portfolio of advanced medical devices and aesthetic solutions to dermatologists, plastic surgeons, aesthetic physicians, and cosmetologists nationwide.

With a sharp focus on quality, safety, and results, Aakaar offers a well-curated mix of in-house innovations and globally recognized brands, sourced from industry leaders across South Korea, Spain, Italy, and Austria—as well as high-quality products manufactured right here in India.


Financial Highlights & IPO Insights

The company’s financial performance has shown impressive momentum. In FY 2024–25, net profit surged to Rs.6.04 crore, more than doubling from Rs.2.87 crore in FY 2023–24. While this significant increase demonstrates strong growth potential, the sharp jump in the bottom line warrants closer scrutiny for sustainability.

  • IPO Size: Rs.25.64 crore — modest in scale, offering manageable risk for new investors.

  • Retail Quota: Rs.8.99 crore — could be fully subscribed with just 780 retail applications.

  • HNI Allocation: Rs.3.86 crore — suggesting limited competition in this category and scope for huge oversubscription.

  • Valuation: Shares are being offered at a P/E multiple of 12.43, based on the FY25 profits—reasonable, but tied to the company’s ability to maintain its earnings growth.

Currently, no notable premium has been observed in the grey market, indicating muted pre-listing sentiment.

Conclusion

Aakaar Medical Technologies stands at the cusp of opportunity in a fast-evolving industry. While the company’s product mix, international partnerships, and rapid profit growth are attractive, the sharp rise in earnings and lack of grey market enthusiasm suggest that potential investors should proceed with balanced optimism and due diligence.

Growth potential of the business across the world and in India

The global flavours and fragrances market, valued at USD 32.2 billion in 2023, is expected to grow at an annual rate of 3.3%, reaching USD 43.6 billion by 2032, as shared by Imarc. This growth is fueled by the expanding food and beverage industry, rising interest in personal grooming and hygiene, changing consumer preferences, urbanization, and a growing demand for natural and organic ingredients. The rise in disposable income, particularly in emerging economies such as India and China, coupled with population growth, is expected to augment demand for personal care and cosmetic products. Simultaneously, the fast-paced lifestyle prevalent in both developing and developed economies is increasing the demand for processed foods and beverages, thereby boosting the need for diverse and appealing flavours. In 2023, the Asia-Pacific region dominated the global market, accounting for over 32% of the total revenue. The region’s large market share is attributed to changing consumer preferences for nutritional and health-focused food products in densely populated countries such as India and China. Asian flavours and fragrances are gaining traction globally, with markets like Europe, the Middle East, and North America embracing these sensory experiences. Countries such as Indonesia, India, China, and Vietnam have emerged as key markets for food flavor innovations in the Asia-Pacific region.

India’s fragrances market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 14.50% from 2024 to 2032, driven by factors such as rising disposable incomes, increasing consumer focus on personal grooming, and the proliferation of global beauty trends via social media. India has a rich history of olfactory culture, with the use of aromatherapy, incense, and ittar dating back to ancient times.

The Indian flavours market is experiencing robust growth, driven primarily by the expanding food processing industry and increased demand for packaged, ready-to-eat foods and beverages. According to a report by IMARC Group, the market size reached INR 4,287 Crore in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2023 to 2032, reaching INR 8,100 Crore by 2032.

The company has steady growth in its topline and strong bottomline. The shares are offered at reasonable PE multiple

Ganga Bath Fittings IPO Review by Paresh Gordhandas, CA & Research Analyst.

Incorporated in 2018, Ganga Bath Fittings Limited is a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-quality bathroom accessories across India. The company’s extensive product range includes CP taps, showers, sanitary ware, ABS fittings, door handles, vanities, sinks, and more.

The company’s state-of-the-art manufacturing unit is located in Shapar-Veraval, Gujarat, equipped with advanced machinery and a skilled workforce committed to product excellence.
Ganga Bath Fittings serves a strong and loyal customer base through a vast distribution network of over 2,500 long-standing distributors across India.

Financial Overview and Observations

From a financial perspective, the company has demonstrated a notable increase in profitability over the past three years. In FY 2021–22, it reported a net profit of Rs.21 lakh on a total revenue of Rs.22.34 crore. This figure rose significantly to a net profit of Rs.2.48 crore on Rs.32.01 crore in total income for FY 2023–24. Furthermore, for the nine months ending 31 December 2024, the company posted a substantial net profit of Rs.4.53 crore on total revenue of Rs.32.31 crore.

This sharp rise in profitability, particularly in the period leading up to the IPO, merits closer examination to ensure it is supported by sustainable business fundamentals and accounting consistency.

As of 31 December 2024, the company reported inventory of Rs. 21.73 crore and receivables of Rs.13.51 crore, totaling Rs.35.24 crore. When compared to the nine-month turnover of Rs.32.31 crore, this level of working capital appears elevated. Such a high combined value of inventory and receivables, relative to revenue, is somewhat unusual for a company operating in the manufacturing and marketing of bath fittings and may warrant further analysis to understand its implications on cash flow and operational efficiency.

As of March 31, 2024, the company’s inventory stood at Rs.49.83 crores, equivalent to 181 days of sales. This level of inventory is notably high and may indicate potential inefficiencies in inventory management or reflect challenges related to demand forecasting, sales velocity, or working capital discipline.
