Answers

Simple answers to the questions investors ask most, from the company's own numbers.

How fast it has been growing

Our sales figures for this company step up at Mar 2026 and we hold nothing that says why, so we cannot honestly quote a growth rate across it.

Whether it grew faster than its sector

Our sales figures for this company step up at Mar 2026 and we hold nothing that says why, so there is no honest growth rate of its own to set against its sector.

Room to re-rate, or risk of de-rating

Too little price history yet to compare it with its own past.

Whether growth justifies the valuation

Priced at 0.1 times its growth rate, on earnings growth of 264%.

Compared with companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

How it compares with its peers

Against companies the exchange files under the same label (Computers - Software & Consulting), it ranks 5 of 53 on returns, 1 of 52 on margin. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

What makes it hard to beat — and is that still true?

A wide advantage: it earns 42% on capital, ahead of 91% of companies filed under the same label. That grouping comes from the exchange's filing category, so some of them may not be real rivals.

Whether its growth pays for itself

No — Over the last five years the business itself consumed ₹11 crore of cash before any plant spend, funded from shareholders — borrowings did not rise. And the profit is not backed by cash: it reported a profit over 12 years and consumed cash from the business. Its cash comes back more slowly than it used to: it went from being waiting 231 days for its cash to waiting 615 days for its cash.
