fundraise

Any current/future new fundraising through debt or equity?

- There is no explicit mention of any current or planned new fundraising through debt or equity in the transcript. - Vinay Choudhary highlights that the target of crossing ₹100 crore revenue is planned without major additional capital expenditure by leveraging existing capacities. - The company has made significant past capital investments (CapEx) before the IPO, leading to higher depreciation costs. - Focus appears to be on increasing sales, marketing, and operational efficiencies rather than raising fresh capital at this point. - Future expansions, such as backward integration into tungsten powder manufacturing, are being assessed but no fundraising plans are disclosed. - Any developments regarding big opportunities under discussion are not shared yet due to confidentiality and are still in the discussion phase.

capex

Any current/future capex/capital investment/strategic investment?

- No major additional capital expenditure is planned to achieve the ₹100 crore revenue target; growth will leverage existing capabilities and capacities. (Page 6) - The company is actively commissioning a gas atomizer (back purged with inert gas) for metal powders, expected to start commercial production in the next few months. (Page 14) - Forward integration into tungsten powder production is being assessed but will depend on captive market size and volume growth; currently at 1.5 to 2 tons/month, viability expected around 3 to 4 tons/month. (Page 12, 14) - Significant past CapEx increased depreciation significantly, with investments in marketing and brand building underway to fuel future growth. (Page 9) - No forward integration into customer products is planned to avoid competing with customers. (Page 12)
