IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
The company enjoys parenting mothers first choice as it has products for kids from the -9M (conception) till the age of 12 years and also lot more products for mother’s care. It has posted losses for the reported periods despite its rising top line and number of stores internationally. Based on its negative earnings, the issue is priced at a negative P/E. Well-informed investors may park funds for the long term.
