Fundraise plans

No
  • Currently, the company is not sure about raising further funds for acquisition. They believe that the extra cash flow generated in the next 6 to 12 months should be sufficient to acquire the target company without external funds.
  • The funds raised from the IPO are currently parked in fixed deposits and liquid funds, intended to be used within 9 to 12 months for inorganic expansion, including acquisitions.
  • No explicit plans for new fundraising through debt or equity have been announced at this time.
  • The focus is on utilizing existing cash reserves and internal cash flow for expansion and acquisition activities.

Order book

  • Systango Technologies Limited currently does not have a formal order book due to the nature of its customer base, which largely consists of growth-stage companies.
  • The company is starting to build an order book with 3 to 4 customers currently in the pipeline using their solutions.
  • Their sales cycle is relatively short, with customer conversion typically happening within four weeks.
  • Being focused on growth-stage companies results in shorter and more agile sales processes rather than long-term contracts or orders.

Capex plans

Yes
  • The company has raised funds through its IPO, currently parked as cash and liquid investments totaling around ₹50-55 crore.
  • These funds are primarily intended for inorganic expansion, specifically for acquiring a consultancy company based out of London with expertise in AI/ML and Web3/blockchain.
  • The acquisition process is ongoing, with expectations to use the funds within the next 6 to 12 months without the need for external fundraising.
  • Apart from acquisitions, funds are also being used to build solutions and increase presence organically in markets like London, US, and Dubai (planned new office).
  • The company plans to increase headcount over the next two years to meet growth goals.
  • There is a focus on building product ownership, project management, sales, and marketing teams as part of strategic investments related to acquisitions.
