💰fundraise

- Founders prefer to avoid dilution early on to retain equity and minimize financial pressure on promoters.

🏗️capex
Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?
- Currently, there is no immediate plan for major capital expenditure (capex), especially in offline operations, as offline expansion is costly and lacks management bandwidth at present.
- Future offline expansion is considered but will be pursued only when the timing and management capacity are right.
- No current plans for major equity dilution or raising funds unless growth triggers a need for equity infusion to scale specific business lines.
- Earlier concerns about raising money before the US election did not materialize; hence, no immediate incentives to raise funds.
- Actively exploring strategic acquisition opportunities, particularly for growth in service sales and manpower export segments, possibly via joint ventures offering minority equity to partners.
- Focus remains on organic growth with selective equity infusion if needed in coming years to fuel specific business growth.
