IPO Review

[Dilip Davda]
After a dismal performance for FY20, the company posted super earnings and based on these earnings, it has priced its IPO very aggressively. While the sustainability of such margins going forward raises concern, pricing of the IPO too appears greedy. Cash surplus investors may consider an investment with a long-term perspective, others may ignore.
