Investment Rationale
Opportunity size is large as customer service, call centers etc are rising. More and more companies are now offering these types of services and / or outsourcing these functions. Company has executed well generating strong ROE of 53%. Valuation at which shares are offered is also fair. Yes Bank is an anchor investor. Traditional IT services companies are much more expensive than BPM companies for these type of services.

Key Risks

  1. Top ten customers contributed 70.54% of total revenue.
  2. Wage pressure. Manpower intensive. These services are in demand only if these are cheap. Higher wages will reduce opportunity size.
  3. Peers do not have a good track record in the market.
  4. Company’s track record is limited.
  5. Shares are issued at Rs 9 to corporate promoter (Tech Worldwide Support Private Limited) just 8 months ago.
  6. Tech worldwide is also a lender. IPO proceeds will be used for repayment of loans from promoter.
  7. Large dilution through IPO. Shares offered are 65% of pre-issue capital of the company.
