expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:

term arrangements with our customers and any failure to continue our existing arrangements could adversely

SECTION III – RISK FACTORS
An investment in equity shares involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider all
the information in this Red Herring Prospectus, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before
making an investment in the Equity Shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones
relevant to us or our Equity Shares, the industry in which we operate or to India. Additional risks and uncertainties,
not currently known to us or that we currently do not deem material may also adversely affect our business, results
of operations, cash flows and financial condition. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently
known or are not currently deemed material, actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition could be adversely affected, the price of our Equity Shares could decline, and investors may
lose all or part of their investment. In order to obtain a complete understanding of our Company and our business,
prospective investors should read this section in conjunction with “Our Business”, “Industry Overview”,
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Restated
Financial Statements” beginning on pages 114, 103, 166 and 163, respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus,
as well as the other financial and statistical and other information contained in this Red Herring Prospectus. In
making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of our Company and our
business and the terms of the Offer including the merits and risks involved.
Prospective investors should consult their tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular consequences of
investing in the Offer. Unless specified or quantified in the relevant risk factors below, we are unable to quantify
the financial or other impact of any of the risks described in this section. Prospective investors should pay
particular attention to the fact that our Company is incorporated under the laws of India and is subject to a legal
and regulatory environment, which may differ in certain respects from that of other countries.
This Red Herring Prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain
factors, including the considerations described below and elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus. The financial
and other related implications of risks concerned, wherever quantifiable, have been disclosed in the risk factors
below. However, there are risk factors the potential effects of which are not quantifiable and therefore no
quantification has been provided with respect to such risk factors. In making an investment decision, prospective
investors must rely on their own examination of our Company and the terms of the Offer, including the merits and
the risks involved. You should not invest in this Offer unless you are prepared to accept the risk of losing all or
part of your investment, and you should consult your tax, financial and legal advisors about the particular
consequences to you of an investment in our Equity Shares.
Materiality
The Risk factors have been determined and disclosed on the basis of their materiality. The following
factors have been considered for determining the materiality:
1. We are dependent on a few customers for a major part of our revenues. Further we do not enter into long-
term arrangements with our customers and any failure to continue our existing arrangements could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our sales are concentrated to a few customers with our top 10 customers contributing 77.86%, 71.24% and
70.97% respectively, of our revenues during the Fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. However, there is no
direct/ indirect relationship between such entities and our Company, our Promoters, Directors, and Promoter
Group members. We presently do not have any long-term or exclusive arrangements with any of our customers
and we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell the quantities we have historically supplied to such
customers. In the event our competitors’ products offer better margins to such customers, there can be no
assurance that our customers will continue to place orders with us. Most of our transactions with our customers
are typically on a purchase order basis without any commitment for a fixed volume of business. There can also
be no assurance that our customers will place their orders with us on current or similar terms, or at all. Further,
our customers could change their business practices or seek to modify the terms that we have customarily
followed with them, including in relation to their payment terms. While we negotiate product prices and payment
29
terms with our customers, in the event our customers alter their requirements, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business growth and prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition,
our customers may also cancel purchase orders at short notice or without notice, which could have an impact on
our inventory management. In the event of frequent cancellations of purchase orders, the same could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Although our Company maintains long-term relationship with our major customers, there can be no assurance
that we will continue to maintain such relationship with our customers. Further, in the event our customers
experience any delays in placing orders with us, or if they prefer to buy the products of our competitors, it could
have a material adverse effect on our business growth and prospects, financial condition, results of operations
and cash flows. Our inability to maintain our existing customer network could have a negative impact on our
sales, business growth prospects, result in slowdown of operation, financial conditions and cash flows.
2. We do not have long term agreements with suppliers for our raw materials and an increase in the cost of
or a shortfall in the availability of such raw materials could have an adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Our purchases are concentrated to a few suppliers with our top 10 supplier contributing 86.18%, 84.30% and
83.50% respectively, of our purchases during the Fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Production quantity
and cost of our products are dependent on our ability to source raw materials and packaging materials at acceptable
prices and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of our major raw materials. Our key raw materials include
Acrylic Resin and Aluminium Hydroxide etc. We procure majority of raw material from import and local suppliers
with whom we have no formal arrangements. There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure all of our
future raw material requirements at commercially viable prices. Furthermore, in the event that such suppliers
discontinue their supply to us or if we are unable to source quality raw material from other suppliers at competitive
prices, we may not be able to meet our production and sales targets. Interruption of, or a shortage in the supply of,
raw material may result in our inability to operate our production facilities at optimal capacities or at all, leading
to a decline in production and sales. An inability to procure sufficient quality raw material at reasonable cost, or
an inability to pass on any increases in the price of raw material to our customers could adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
3. Under-utilization of our production capacities could have an adverse effect on our business, future
prospects and future financial performance.
As of March 2024, we are operating (double shift) out of one Unit in Moti Tambadi Dist. Valsad, near Vapi,
Gujarat with an aggregate working shed/Machinery Hall and flooring plinth area of 2247 sq. mtr out of total area
of approx. 4950 sq. mtrs. Our total production capacity is 2,40,000 sheets per year for top surfaces. Our ability to
maintain our profitability depends on our ability to optimize the product mix to support high-margin products and
products with consistent long-term demand and the demand-supply balance of our products in the principal and
target markets. In particular, the level of our capacity utilization can impact our operating results. Capacity
utilization is also affected by our product mix and the demand and supply balance.
In Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022, our overall capacity utilization was 71.97%, 89.17% and 78.19% respectively.
For further information, see “Our Business – Capacity and Capacity Utilization” on page 114 of this Red Herring
Prospectus. These rates are not indicative of future capacity utilization rates, which are dependent on various
factors, including demand for our products, availability of raw materials, shipping cost, our ability to manage our
inventory and improving operational efficiency. Under-utilization of our production capacities over extended
periods or significant under-utilization in the short-term could materially and adversely impact our business,
growth prospects and future financial performance.
4. The majority of our operative income is derived from the domestic market and any adverse developments
in this market could adversely affect our business.
Set forth below is the bifurcation of our revenue from operations for the periods indicated:
We have historically derived majority of our revenues from sales in the domestic market. In Financial Year 2023-
24, the revenue generated from sales in domestic market represented 95.51 % of our revenue from sales.
30
Accordingly, any materially adverse social, political or economic development, natural calamities, civil
disruptions, regulatory developments or changes in the policies of the central, state or local government in India
could adversely affect our manufacturing and distribution activities, result in modification of our business strategy
or require us to incur significant capital expenditure, which will in turn have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, our sales from this region may decline
as a result of increased competition, regulatory action, pricing pressures, fluctuations in the demand for or supply
of our products or services, or the outbreak of an infectious disease such as COVID-19. Our failure to effectively
react to these situations or to successfully introduce new products or services in these markets could adversely
affect our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
5. We do not enter into long-term arrangements with our distributors and any failure to continue our
existing arrangements could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
Set forth below is the bifurcation of our revenue from operations for the periods indicated:
We majority sell all our products through our distributor network. We presently do not have any long-term or
exclusive arrangements with any of our distributors and we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell the
quantities we have historically supplied to such distributors. In the event our competitors’ products offer better
margins to such distributors or otherwise incentivizes them, there can be no assurance that our distributors will
continue to promote our products or place orders with us. Most of our transactions with our distributors are
typically on a purchase order basis without any commitment for a fixed volume of business. There can also be no
assurance that our distributors will renew their arrangements with us on current or similar terms, or at all. Further,
our distributors could change their business practices or seek to modify the terms that we have customarily
followed with them, including in relation to their payment terms. While we negotiate product prices and payment
terms with our distributors, in the event our distributors alter their requirements, it could have a material adverse
effect on our business growth and prospects, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition,
our distributors may also cancel purchase orders at short notice or without notice, which could have an impact on
our inventory management. Termination of any of the above-mentioned arrangements or frequent cancellation of
purchase orders could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations,
and cash flows.
6. Our Company, its Promoters and our Directors are party to certain legal proceedings. Any adverse
outcome in such proceedings may have an adverse impact on our reputation, business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.
As on the date of filing this Red Herring Prospectus, there are outstanding legal proceedings initiated by or against
our Company, Promoters and Directors that are incidental to our business and operation. A summary of outstanding
litigation proceedings involving our Company, Promoters and Directors as on the date of this Red Herring

labour laws, personal injury and property damage, etc.
32
Furthermore, if we get involved in disputes with third parties in the course of our operations such as suppliers,
customers and sub- contractors, the same may lead to legal or other proceedings and may result in substantial costs,
delays in our development and operation schedule, and the diversion of resources and management’s attention,
regardless of the outcome. We may also have disagreements with regulatory authorities in the course of our
operations, which may subject us to legal proceedings and unfavourable decisions that may result in penalties or
delay or disrupt our development and operations.
7. Our contingent liabilities as stated in our Restated Financial Statements could affect our financial
condition
Our contingent liability as on March 31, 2024, is as mentioned below. If this contingent liability materializes,
fully or partly, the financial condition of our Company could be affected.

goods within Six year from date of licenses, the details of licenses are as follows:
(₹ in lakhs)
Sr No Date of Issue of License No Amount of Goods to Amount of duty to
License be Exported be paid

TOTAL 3322.44 573.72

lakhs.
We have taken Bank Guarantee from Punjab National Bank in favor of DGFT to the tune of ₹ 73.69 lakhs to obtain
this Bank Guarantee we have offered fixed deposit with PNB to the tune of ₹ 18.43 lakhs.
We have requested to Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) for extension through letters dated August
23, 2023 to comply with the EPCG scheme requirement. Further, we have considered it as a contingent liability
and the same has been suitably disclosed in the Restated Financial Statements.
As this contingent liability is not materialized, impact for the same has not been provided in the Restated Financials
Statements.
We have made a request to the Additional Director General of Foreign Trade for an extension as mentioned above
to meet the requisite requirement of availed benefits. However, till the date of this letter we have not received any
communication in this regard from the DGFT. In view of the above, there is no non-compliance with the scheme
/ applicable laws.
b) We have imported Raw Material under Advance Licenses Scheme and are under a legal obligation to export
goods within Eighteen Months from the date of license, however we were unable to fulfil these export obligations,
hence we have made an application to the concerned authority to extent time period to enable it to fulfil the export
obligations. This application is not yet decided upon by the concern authority. The details of aforesaid advanced
licenses are as follows:
(₹ in lakhs)
Sr No Date of issue of License No. Amount of Goods Amount of duty to
License to be exported be paid

arise in future.
33
For more information, regarding our contingent liabilities, please refer “Annexure IV” in chapter titled “Financial
Information of the Company” beginning on page 166 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
8. We may not be able to identify or effectively respond to evolving preferences, expectations or trends in a
timely manner and a failure to derive the desired benefits from our product development efforts may impact
our competitiveness and profitability.
The success of our business depends in part on our ability to anticipate, identify and respond promptly to evolving
trends in demographics and preferences, customer expectations, needs and demands, and develop new products to
meet these requirements. Our success is dependent on our ability to identify and respond to the economic, social,
and other trends that affect demographic and end- customer preferences in a variety of our solid surface stones
categories.
We cannot assure you that our future product development initiatives will be successful or be completed within
the anticipated period or budget, or that our newly developed or improvised products will achieve wide market
acceptance from our customers. Even if these products have been successfully developed, there is no guarantee
that they will be accepted by our customers and achieve anticipated sales targets in a profitable manner, which
may affect our ability to grow our network of customers and gain market share. In addition, there can be no
guarantee that the time and effort that we spend in developing these products would be beneficial to our Company.
This could also adversely affect our ability to pursue our growth strategy of continuing to develop niche and
products to grow our market share. Further, we cannot assure you that our existing or potential competitors will
not develop products that are similar or superior to our products. It is often difficult to estimate the time to market
new products and there is a substantial risk that we may have to abandon a potential product that is no longer
commercially viable, even after we have invested significant resources in the development of such product. If we
fail in our product launching efforts, our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows may be materially and adversely affected.
We must, on a regular basis, keep pace with the preferences and quality requirements of our customers, invest
continuously in new technology and processes to provide products having the desired qualities and characteristics,
and continually monitor and adapt to the changing market demand. An unanticipated change in customer demand
and any sudden change in Government regulations may adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition.
9. Our Manufacturing Facility is located in Vapi, Gujarat and therefore, any localized social unrest, natural
disaster or breakdown of services or any other natural disaster in Gujarat or any disruption in production
at, or shutdown of, our manufacturing unit could have material adverse effect on our business and
financial condition.
We currently operate from one Manufacturing Facility situated on leasehold basis at Moti tambadi, Dist. Valsad,
Vapi, Gujarat. Any significant social, political or economic disruption or natural calamities or civil disruptions in
this region or changes in the policies of these states or local governments could require us to incur significant
capital expenditure and change our business strategy. Our business is dependent upon our ability to manage our
manufacturing, which are subject to various operating risks, including political instability, productivity of our
workforce, compliance with regulatory requirements, difficulties with production costs and yields, product quality
and those beyond our control, such as the breakdown and failure of equipment or industrial accidents, disruption
in electrical power or water resources, severe weather conditions, natural disasters and an outbreak of pandemic
such as COVID-19. Any significant malfunction or breakdown of our machinery may entail significant repair and
maintenance costs and cause delays in our operations. Moreover, some of our products are permitted to be
manufactured at only such facility which has received specific approvals, and any shutdown of such facility will
result in us being unable to manufacture a product for the duration of such shutdown. Our inability to effectively
respond to any shutdown or slowdown and rectify any disruption, in a timely manner and at an acceptable cost,
could lead to delays in the entire production cycle and an inability to comply with our customers’ requirements
and lead to loss of revenue to us and our customers.
Although we have not experienced any strikes or labor unrest in the past, we cannot assure you that we will not
experience disruptions in work in the future due to disputes or other problems with our work force. Any labor
unrest directed against us, could directly or indirectly prevent or hinder our normal operating activities, and, if not
resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our operations, which in turn could adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
34
10. We have not received consents and information pertaining to certain Promoter Group members which are
required to be disclose in relation to the promoter Group in the Red Herring Prospectus. Therefore, the
disclosure made in the RHP are limited to the information available in the public domain.
Our company has sought to comply with SEBI ICDR Regulations by requesting relevant information and
confirmations from the members of the Promoter Group, including Achalchandji Farsaji Suthar, Sukhi
Achalchandji Suthar, Bharat Achalchandji Suthar, Chandan Achalchandji Suthar, Vikram Achalchandji Suthar,
Fulvanti Achalchand Suthar, and Harish Achalchandji Suthar, as identified in our letter dated April 7, 2023. The
purpose of these requests was to gather the required details as Promoter Group members and also to identify any
other entities, body corporates, firms, or HUFs of interest that may qualify as part of our company's Promoter
Group.
To comply with SEBI ICDR Regulations, we have subsequently reminder letters dated, April 14, 2023, and April
21, 2023, but we have not received any response from the aforementioned immediate relatives. Consequently, the
necessary information and confirmations mandated by SEBI ICDR Regulations pertaining to these immediate
relatives and their associated entities as Promoter Group members remain unavailable to our company.
In compliance with Regulations, we submitted an application to SEBI on August 23, 2023, under Regulation
300(1)(c) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, seeking an exemption from the identification and disclosure of the
aforementioned immediate relatives of one of our Promoter and other related entities/body corporate/firms/HUFs
in which they have an interest. However, SEBI, through its letter dated September 12, 2023, directed our company
to include these immediate relatives as part of the Promoter Group members and their connected entities and make
the disclosures of information available in the public domain.
To adhere to SEBI ICDR Regulations in light of the lack of response from Promoter Group members, we have
incorporated details in the Red Herring Prospectus (RHP) based on publicly available information from select
government authorities and public databases. Nevertheless, it is possible that our company may not have identified
all entities comprising our company's Promoter Group or included disclosures in the RHP that relate to factual
confirmations required in relation to Promoter Group members. This limitation is primarily due to no response of
immediate relatives of the Promoter to furnish information regarding themselves or their associated entities.
As a result, the disclosures pertaining to the Promoter Group members mentioned in this RHP may be incomplete
concerning the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Investors refer to the section titled "Our Promoters and Promoter Group"
on page 156 of the RHP for further details. We emphasize that investors should conduct an independent
examination of our Promoter Group and not solely rely on the information provided in this RHP when making
investment decisions. Your investment decisions should be well-informed and not based solely on the limited
information presented in this document.
11. Our ability to grow our business depends on our relationships with our distributors and the community of
appliers and any adverse changes in these relationships, or our inability to enter into new relationships
and thereby expand our distribution network, could negatively affect our business and results of
operations.
Our business is dependent on the decisions and actions of our distributors which is determined by our ability to
maintain and strengthen our relationships and arrangements with existing distributors as well as our ability to
establish and maintain relationships with new distributors. In addition, as distributors and end-customers are also
influenced by appliers, our business is also dependent on the relationships we share with the community of appliers.
Our relationship with our distributors and appliers is dependent to a large extent on our ability to regularly meet
their requirements, including by introducing products with greater marketability, price competitiveness, efficient
and timely product deliveries, and consistent product quality. In the event we are unable to meet such requirements
in the future, it may result in decrease in orders or cessation of business from affected distributors and appliers. In
addition, failure to provide distributors with sufficient inventories of our products may result in lesser sales of our
products compared to the demand. There are also a number of factors relating to our distributors and appliers
beyond our control that might result in the termination of our arrangement or the loss of a distributor or applier
relationship, including change in preferences of our distributors or appliers as well as a demand for price
reductions. Further, the deterioration of the financial condition or business prospects of these distributors could
affect their ability to maintain inventory and thus reduce demand for our products and could result in a significant
decline in the revenues we derive from such distributors. Adverse changes in our relationships with our distributors
and appliers, or the inability to develop new products for existing distributors or appliers or to successfully
establish relationships with new distributors or appliers, could therefore limit our business prospects, which could
adversely affect our financial performance.
35
We may also face disruptions in the delivery of our products for various reasons beyond our control, including
poor freight forwarding of our products, transportation bottlenecks, natural disasters, infectious disease outbreaks
such as the COVID-19 pandemic and labour issues, which could lead to deliveries being delayed or lost, resulting
in insufficient inventories at distributor outlets. If we fail to deliver products to distributors in a timely manner, or
if our distributors fail to adhere to the terms of our arrangements, our business and results of operations may be
adversely affected.
12. Our business is working capital intensive. If we experience insufficient cash flows from our operations or
are unable to borrow to meet our working capital requirements, it may materially and adversely affect our
business and results of operations
Our business requires significant amount of working capital primarily as a considerable amount of time passes
between purchase of raw materials and collection of receivables post sales to customers. As a result, we are
required to maintain sufficient stock at all times in order to meet manufacturing requirements as well as extend
credit period to customers as per the industry practice, thus increasing our storage and working capital
requirements. Consequently, there could be situations where the total funds available may not be sufficient to
fulfil our commitments and hence we may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future or utilize internal
accruals to satisfy our working capital needs. Our future success depends on our ability to continue to secure and
successfully manage sufficient amounts of working capital. Further, our ability to arrange financing and the costs
of capital of such financing are dependent on numerous factors, including general economic and capital market
conditions and the effect of events such as the pandemics, outbreak of wars, credit availability from banks,
investor confidence, the continued success of our operations and other laws that are conducive to our raising
capital in this manner.
As we pursue our growth plan, we may be required to raise additional funds by incurring further indebtedness or
issuing additional equity to meet our capital expenditures in the future. If we experience insufficient cash flows or
are unable to borrow funds on a timely basis, or, at all, to meet our working capital and other requirements, or to
pay our debts, it could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Management of our
working capital requirements involves the timely payment of, or rolling over of, our short-term indebtedness and
securing new and additional loans on acceptable terms, or re-negotiation of our payment terms for our trade
payables, collection of trade receivables and preparing and following accurate and feasible budgets for our business
operations. If we are unable to manage our working capital requirements, our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to effectively manage our working capital. Should we fail to effectively implement sufficient internal
control procedures and management systems to manage our working capital and other sources of financing, we
may have insufficient capital to maintain and grow our business and we may breach the terms of our financing
agreements with banks, face claims under cross-default provisions and be unable to obtain new financing, any of
which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows. For further information on the working capital facilities currently availed of by us, please see “Financial
Indebtedness” on page 173 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
13. Information relating to the installed production capacity and capacity utilization of our production Units
included in this Red Herring Prospectus are based on various assumptions and estimates and future
production and capacity may vary.
Information relating to the installed production capacity and capacity utilization of our Units included in this Red
Herring Prospectus are based on various assumptions and estimates of our management that have been considered
by an independent chartered engineer M/s M-Tech Services LLP while calculating the installed production
capacity of, and actual production volumes at, our Units. The assumptions and estimates include the standard
capacity calculation practices of the solid surfaces industry after examining the period during which the Units were
operational during the year, the expected operations, availability of raw materials, downtime resulting from
scheduled maintenance activities, unscheduled breakdowns, as well as expected operational efficiencies, and
taking into account the number of working days in a year, number of days in a month, number of shifts in a day
and average number of batches per day. Actual production capacity, production levels and utilization rates may
therefore vary from the information of our Units included in this Red Herring Prospectus or from the historical
installed production capacity information of our Units depending on the product type. Accordingly, undue reliance
should not be placed on our historical installed capacity information for our existing facilities included in this Red
Herring Prospectus.
14. We have incurred borrowings from commercial banks and high Debt Equity Ratio 2.78:1 which could
have an adverse effect on our business an inability to comply with repayment and other covenants in our
financing agreements could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
36
We have entered into agreements with banks for short-term and long-term borrowings. These borrowings include
secured fund based and non-fund-based facilities. As of March 31, 2024, we had total borrowings (consisting of
borrowings under non-current liabilities, current maturities of long-term debts and borrowings under current
liabilities) of ₹ 6,070.71 lakhs, which comprises of secured loans from banks and vehicle loans. Further, as on
March 31, 2024, the Debt Equity ratio of our Company is 2.78, which indicate the high level of indebtedness in
comparison to shareholders' equity. Debt encompasses both working capital and term loans, leading to increased
financial leverage. This heightened leverage can amplify the impact of adverse economic conditions and
operational challenges. A substantial debt burden results in higher borrowing costs, consequently impacting
profitability and cash flows. Furthermore, this high Debt Equity ratio could potentially limit the Company's ability
to pursue strategic initiatives, make necessary investments, or respond effectively to market changes. The
Company's Debt Equity ratio for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022
are 2.78, 2.21, 3.04 respectively. The financing agreements that we have entered into for availing the secured loans
contain negative covenants, including for availing fresh credit facility, giving fresh loans and advances, issuing
corporate guarantee, etc. Any failure to service such indebtedness, or otherwise perform any obligations under
such financing agreements may lead to termination of one or more of our credit facilities or incur penalties and
acceleration of payments under such credit facilities, foreclosure on our assets, trigger cross-default provisions
under certain of our other financing agreements which may adversely affect our financial condition and our ability
to conduct and implement our business plans.
Further, we are required to, amongst other obligations, comply with certain financial covenants including
maintaining the prescribed inventory margins, insurance covers on the hypothecated properties and lien creation.
Our hypothecated assets comprise of our stock of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods, consumable
stores and spares and such other movable current assets including book debts, bills whether documentary or clean,
outstanding monies, receivables, both present and future. We have also mortgaged our immovable assets in favour
of the bank to secure the aforesaid facilities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with these
financial or other covenants or that we will be able to obtain consents necessary to take the actions that we believe
are required to operate and grow our business. Any fluctuations in the interest rates may directly impact the interest
costs of such loans and affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Our ability to
make repayments and refinance our indebtedness will depend on our continued ability to generate cash from our
future operations. We may not be able to generate enough cash flow from operations or obtain enough capital to
service our debt. For further information, please see “Financial Indebtedness” beginning on page 173 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.
15. We are dependent on third-party transportation providers for the supply of raw materials and delivery
of our finished products.
Our success depends on the supply and transport of the various raw materials required for our Unit and of our
finished products from our Unit to our customers, which are subject to various uncertainties and risks. We rely
on third-party freight and transportation providers for the delivery of our products to customers with whom we
have no formal arrangement, to provide rail, road and other transportation facilities. We also depend on sea borne
freight in respect of import and export operations. Such transportation providers are arranged on an as-needed
basis. We maintain marine cargo open insurance policy to cover any damage to our products during transit.
Transportation strikes, if any, could have an adverse effect on supplies and deliveries to and from our customers
and suppliers. In addition, we undertake our import/ export facility majorly from JNPT port situated in Gujarat
and are therefore heavily dependent on the smooth functioning of the JNPT port for our export activities. Also,
we are situated far away from the port which increases the transportation cost and time required to complete any
order. Further to the transportation cost, it also increases the insurance cost and the risk faced in conveyance to
and from the ports to our Unit.
Raw materials and finished products may be lost or damaged in transit for various reasons including occurrence
of accidents or natural disasters. There may also be a delay in delivery of raw materials and products which may
also affect our business and results of operations negatively. Our average stock of finished goods for the Fiscals
2024, 2023 and 2022 was ₹ 2,521.71 Lakhs, ₹ 2,156.99 Lakhs and ₹ 1,692.67 Lakhs respectively and raw
material and consumables for the Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022 was ₹ 1,573.13 Lakhs, ₹ 820.57 Lakhs and ₹
453.74 Lakhs respectively. In the event we fail to maintain a sufficient volume of raw materials and delivery of
such materials to us is delayed, we may be unable to meet customer orders in a timely manner or at all. Any such
inability may result in loss of sales opportunities that our competitors may capitalize on, thereby adversely
affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Any compensation received
from third-party transportation providers may be insufficient to cover the cost of any delays and will not repair
damage to our relationships with our affected customers and the goodwill of the Company in the market.
37
16. We require high working capital for our smooth day to day operations of business and any discontinuance
or our inability to acquire adequate working capital timely and on favourable terms may have an adverse
effect on our operations, profitability and growth prospects.
Our company’s net working capital consisted of ₹ 6,137.30, ₹ 3,395.61 lakhs, ₹ 2,998.97 lakhs for the financial
year ended 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively. The net working capital requirement for the financial year 2025 and
2026 are projected to be ₹ 7,138.0 lakhs and ₹ 7,958.45 lakhs respectively. A significant portion of our working
capital is utilized towards inventories, trade receivables and trade payables. Summary of our working capital
position is given below:

We operate in a working capital-intensive industry therefore our business demands substantial funds towards
working capital requirements. In case there are insufficient cash flows to meet our working capital requirement or
we are unable to arrange the same from other sources or there are delays in disbursement of arranged funds, or we
are unable to procure funds on favourable terms, at a future date, it may result into our inability to finance our
working capital needs on a timely basis which may have an adverse effect on our operations, profitability and
growth prospects. For further details regarding incremental working capital requirement, please refer to the chapter
titled “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 87 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
17. Our Company has reported certain negative cash flows from its operating activities on the basis of Restated
Financial Statements, details of which are given below. Sustained negative cash flow could impact our
growth and business in the future.
Our Company had reported certain negative cash flows from its operating activities in the previous financial period
as per the Restated Financial Statements and the same are summarized as under:
For further information on our negative net cash flows, see “Financial Statements” on page 171. We cannot assure
you that our net cash flows will be positive in the future. Negative cash flows in the future could adversely affect
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
18. We are subject to government regulations and if we fail to obtain, maintain or renew our statutory and
regulatory licenses, permits and approvals required to operate our business, results of operations and cash
flows may be adversely affected.
We are required to obtain and maintain a number of statutory and regulatory licenses, registrations, permits and
approvals, generally for carrying out our business. In addition, we will need to apply for renewal of certain
approvals, licenses, registrations and permits, which expire or seek new approvals, licenses, registrations and
permits from time to time, as and when required in the ordinary course of our business. Obtaining licenses,
registrations, permits and approvals or their renewals are time consuming processes and are subject to frequent
38
delays. We have obtained licenses, registrations, permits and approvals from the relevant authorities and are
renewing such statutory approvals periodically for our business.
Further, pursuant to our recent conversion after complying with the relevant and the applicable provisions and
procedures of Companies Act, 2013, the name of our company has changed. Many of the Licenses and approvals
are in the old name, the same are required to be updated / changed with various government / semi government
authorities and various organizations. We are in the process of taking necessary steps for transferring the approvals
in the new name of our Company. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will renew or issue any
of such permits or approvals in the timeframe anticipated by us or at all. Any failure to apply for and obtain the
required approvals, licenses, registrations or permits in a timely manner, or any suspension or revocation of any
of the approvals, licenses, registrations and permits would result in a delay in our business operations which could
otherwise adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and future prospects of the Company. We
cannot assure you that the approvals, licenses, registrations and permits issued to us would not be suspended or
revoked in the event of non-compliance or alleged non-compliance with any terms or conditions thereof, or
pursuant to any regulatory action. In addition to the same, our failure to comply with existing or increased
regulations, or the introduction of changes to existing regulations, could adversely affect our business and results
of operations.
Further, our Company is yet to make applications to obtain certain registrations, approvals, and licenses before the
relevant authorities. The registrations, approvals, and licenses is mandatorily required as stipulated by the law of
the respective state. The applications for the said licenses will be made accordingly in due course by our Company.
For further details regarding the material approvals, licenses, registrations and permits, please see “Government
and other Key approvals” on page 183 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
19. There have been some instances of delays in filing of statutory and regulatory dues in the past with the
various government authorities.
In the past, there have been certain instances of delays in filing statutory and regulatory dues with respect to
Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and Goods and Service Tax (GST). These delays were majorly due to public
holidays, approver travelling for business meetings or the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to lockdown and limited
availability of manpower. As a result, the Company has filed returns and payment with delay penalty. The delay
in filing the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a result of our consultant's negligence. Additionally, we have
experienced delays in filing GST returns and payments due to a combination of factors, including our client
payment policy and technical glitches on the GST portal. However, The Board of Directors of our Company has
taken note of these delays in fulfilling our statutory and regulatory obligations and has taken decisive action by
initiating verbal reprimand to the consultant, which has resulted in reduction of instances of delay. However, there
can be no assurance that delays or defaults with respect to payment of statutory and regulatory dues will not occur
in the future, which in turn may affect our reputation and financial results.
20. Our inability to collect receivables from our customers or default in payment by them could result in the
reduction of our profits and affect our cash flows.
Our operations involve extending credit for extended periods of time to our customers in respect of our products
and consequently, we face the risk of non-receipt of these outstanding amounts in a timely manner or at all,
particularly in the absence of long-term arrangements with our customers. While we have not adopted any credit
policy, we typically operate on pre-sanctioned credit limits with customers and cannot guarantee that our customers
will not default on their payments. While we generally monitor the ability of our customers to pay these open
credit arrangements and limit the credit, we extend to what we believe is reasonable based on an evaluation of
each customer’s financial condition and payment history, we may still experience losses because of a customer
being unable to pay. As a result, while we maintain what we believe to be a reasonable allowance for doubtful
receivables for potential credit losses based upon our historical trends and other available information, there is a
risk that our estimates may not be accurate. Our inability to collect receivables from our customers in a timely
manner or at all in future, could adversely affect our working capital cycle and cash flows. In the Financial years
ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, our trade receivables were 3,008.77 lakhs, ₹ 1,587.26
lakhs, and ₹ 1,616.25 lakhs respectively, which represented 33.15%, 23.78%, and 34.13% of our revenues from
operations for such periods, respectively. Macroeconomic conditions could also result in financial difficulties,
including insolvency or bankruptcy of our customers and as a result could cause customers to delay payments to
us, request modifications to their payment arrangements, that could increase our receivables or affect our working
capital requirements or default on their payment obligations to us. An increase in bad debts in future or in defaults
by our customers may compel us to utilize greater amounts of our operating working capital and result in increased
financing costs, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations and cash flows.
39
21. A significant portion of our domestic sales are derived from the western zone and any adverse
developments in this market could adversely affect our business.
Set forth below is certain information on our geography-wise domestic revenue from operations for the periods
indicated:
We have historically derived a significant portion of our revenue from sales in the west zone. In the Fiscal 2024,
2023 and 2022 the revenue generated from sales in western zone represented 73.01%, 79.02%, and 77.75%
respectively of our revenue from operations. Accordingly, any materially adverse social, political or economic
development, natural calamities, civil disruptions, regulatory developments or changes in the policies of the state
or local government in this region could adversely affect our manufacturing and distribution activities, result in
modification of our business strategy or require us to incur significant capital expenditure, which will in turn have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Further, our
sales from this region may decline as a result of increased competition, regulatory action, pricing pressures,
fluctuations in the demand for or supply of our products or services, or the outbreak of an infectious disease such
as COVID-19. Our failure to effectively react to these situations or to successfully introduce new products or
services in these markets could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations, financial condition,
and cash flows. The occurrence of, or our inability to effectively respond to, any such events or effectively manage
the competition in the region, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition, cash flows and future business prospects.
22. There have been instances in the past where we have not made certain regulatory filings with the RoC and
there were certain instances of discrepancies in relation to certain statutory filings and corporate records
of our Company.
In the past, there have been certain instances of delays in filing statutory form such as AOC-4, DIR-12 and PAS-
3, as per the reporting requirements under the Companies Act, which have been subsequently filed by payment of
an additional fee as specified by RoC. Also, there have been instances of factual as well as discrepancies in the
Increase of Authorized Capital and corresponding secretarial records filed by the company. In one of the SH-7
forms filed by the company on November 21, 2022, the direct increase of authorized share capital from
₹10,00,00,000 to ₹ 20,00,00,000 was recorded, omitting the filing of the authorized share capital-related form
dated March 02, 2020, and November 21, 2022. The resolution passed on March 02, 2020, pertained to the
subdivision of preference shares from a face value of ₹1000 to ₹10, while the resolution passed on November 21,
2022, was for the reclassification of preference share capital into equity share capital. To rectify this error, the
company filed a Compounding application in form GNL-1, which is currently pending before the regional director
at the Registrar of Companies (RoC), Mumbai.
Furthermore, in the e-forms MGT-7, there was a clerical error in specifying the authorized share capital for the
financial years 2019-20 and 2021-22. However, the company has refiled form MGT-7 for both the years with
correct data. Also, in form MGT-14, there was an error of mentioning date of meetings. However, the company
has refiled form MGT-14 with correct dates and clarification letter. The Board of Directors acknowledged these
discrepancies found in the statutory forms, accompanied by the appropriate additional fee. It is important to note
that these clerical errors were not substantial in nature, and no show-cause notice pertaining to the above has been
received by the company from the concerned Registrar of Companies (RoC) till date.
While no regulatory action or penalty has been imposed on the company for these delays or defaults, it is important
to highlight that we cannot guarantee that no such regulatory action or penalty will be levied in the future.
Consequently, if the concerned regulatory authorities impose monetary penalties or take punitive actions against
our company or its directors/officers in relation to these matters, it could adversely impact our business and
financial condition.
23. We have entered into and may continue to enter into related party transactions and there can be no
assurance that such transactions have been on favourable terms.
40
We have in the course of our business entered into, and will continue to enter into, several transactions with our
related parties. For further information, see “Financial Statements – Note 23 “Related Party Transactions” on page
163 of this Red Herring Prospectus. The related party transaction for the Fiscals 2024, 2023 and 2022 includes
borrowings received/repaid and there are no advances received/repaid from related parties. We cannot assure you
that we will receive similar terms in our related party transactions in the future. While we believe that all such
related party transactions that we have entered into in last three fiscals are legitimate business transactions
conducted on an arms’ length basis, in compliance with the requirements stipulated in Companies Act, 2013, and
relevant Accounting Standards and other statuary compliances, we cannot assure you that we could not have
achieved more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. There can be no
assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operation. For further details regarding the related party transactions, see the disclosure
on related party transactions contained in the financial statements included in this Red Herring Prospectus and,
also see the section Related Party Transactions in the Chapter titled “Financial Information” of the Company
beginning on page 163 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
24. Our funds requirements are based on internal management estimates, wherever possible, and have not been
appraised by any bank or financial institution. Any increase in the actual deployment of funds may cause
an additional burden on our finance plans. We have not entered into definitive agreements to utilize our
Offer proceeds.
The fund requirement mentioned as a part of the Objects of the Offer is based on internal management estimates,
wherever possible, and has not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or any external agency. These
are based on current conditions and are subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances or costs or
in other financial conditions, business strategy, etc. With increase in costs, our actual deployment of funds may
exceed our estimates and may cause us an additional burden on our finance plans. As on the date of the Red Herring
Prospectus, we have not entered into any definitive agreements for implementing the Objects of the Offer.
25. Our Company has presently applied for renewal of trademark registration for those trademarks whose
registration has expired due to efflux of time and under which we currently operate and if third parties
infringe the trademark, logo and intellectual property that we use, our business and reputation would be
adversely affected.
Our Company has applied for the renewal of various trademark registrations for those trademarks whose
registration has expired due to the efflux of time in relation to our Company and our products. The details of
application for renewal of trademark registration made by our Company have been specifically provided in this
Red Herring Prospectus. For further details, please see “Government and Other Key Approvals” beginning on page
183 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
With respect to our trademarks that have been applied for and/or are pending for renewal of registration, we cannot
assure you that we will be successful in obtaining the same within a reasonable period of time due to unforeseen
reasons. As a result, we may not be able to prevent infringement of our trademarks and a passing off action may
not provide sufficient protection until such time that this renewal of registration is granted. We cannot guarantee
that any of our registered or unregistered intellectual property rights or claims thereto, will now or in the future
successfully protect what we consider to be the intellectual property underlying our products and business, or that
our rights will not be opposed or otherwise challenged.
While we endeavor to ensure that we comply with our intellectual property rights, there can be no assurance that
we will not face any intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties. Any claims of infringement,
regardless of merit or resolution of such claims, could force us to incur significant costs in responding to, defending
and resolving such claims and may divert the efforts and attention of our management away from our business.
We could be required to change the name of our Company, pay third party infringement claims or obtain fresh
licenses resulting from a name change. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could result in unexpected expenses.
26. There may be potential conflict of interests related to business of our company between our Company and
other entities promoted by our directors or Promoter Group Members/ Entities.
Our Company is engaged in the business of solid surfaces including Kuber trading Co., SDC Enterprise, Ardent
Projects, Shravan Design Co., Shravan L Suthar HUF, Lalit Laxmichand Suthar HUF, Neev Furnitech which are
engaged in similar line of business. However, the Company does not have business related transaction with Lalit
Laxmichand Suthar HUF. Further, we have not executed any Non-Compete Agreement with our Directors or
Promoter Group Members/ Entities to not to engage in businesses similar to that of our Company.
41
As a result, conflicts of interests may arise in the future in allocating business opportunities amongst our Company,
Promoter Group Members/ Entities in such circumstances where our respective interests diverge. There can be no
assurance that our Directors/Promoter/Promoter Group will not compete with our existing business or any future
business that we may undertake or that their interests will not conflict with ours. Any future conflicts could have
a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
27. Our success is dependent on our management team, key managerial personnel and skilled manpower.
Our inability to attract and retain key personnel or the loss of services of our key personnel may have an
adverse effect on our business prospects.
Our management team, key managerial personnel and skilled manpower have significantly contributed to the
growth of our business, and our future success is dependent on their continued services. An inability to retain any
key personnel may have an adverse effect on our business operations. We might face challenges in recruiting
suitably skilled personnel, particularly as we continue to grow our operations. In the future, we may also not be
able to compete with other larger companies for suitably skilled personnel due to their ability to offer more
competitive compensation and benefits. The loss of any of the members of our senior management team, our
directors or other key personnel or an inability on our part to manage the attrition levels; may materially and
adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects. For further details,
please refer chapter titled “Our Promoter and Promoter Group” and “Our Management” beginning on page 155
& 143 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
28. Inability to meet the quality standard norms prescribed by the central and state governments could result
in the sales of our products being banned or suspended or becoming subject to significant compliance
costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business growth and prospects, results of
operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
The quality of the products being manufactured by us is open to independent verification by agencies of the central
and state governments, or various other regulatory authorities. Regulatory authorities including authorities under
the Legal Metrology Act, 2009, may carry out inspection of our premises, plant, equipment, machinery,
manufacturing or other processes and sample checks on any material or substance in relation to our product at
short notice or without notice. The government authorities could impose fines or issue us show cause notices if the
samples are not in conformity with the prescribed quality norms. Failure on our part to adhere to the quality norms
prescribed by the government agencies could lead to recall of those batches and/ or the products in the relevant
state, or we may be liable to pay a penalty. Any such order passed by the governmental authorities could generate
adverse publicity about our Company and our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business
growth and prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
29. Stringent environmental, health and safety laws and regulations or stringent enforcement of existing
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations may result in increased liabilities and increased
capital expenditures.
Our operations are subject to environmental, health and safety and other regulatory and/ or statutory requirements
in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are subject to various national, state, municipal and local laws and
regulations concerning environmental protection in India. Non-compliance with these laws and regulations could
expose us to civil penalties, criminal sanctions and revocation of key business licenses. Environmental laws and
regulations in India are becoming more stringent and the scope and extent of new environmental regulations,
including their effect on our operations, cannot be predicted with any certainty. In case of any change in
environmental or pollution regulations, we may be required to invest in, among other things, environmental
monitoring, pollution control equipment and emissions management.
As a consequence of unanticipated regulatory or other developments, future environmental and regulatory related
expenditures may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. We cannot assure you that our costs of
complying with current and future environmental laws and other regulations will not adversely affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. In addition, we could incur substantial costs, our products
could be restricted from entering certain markets and we could face other sanctions, if we were to violate or become
liable under environmental laws or if our products become non-compliant with applicable regulations. Our
potential exposure includes fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury
claims and clean-up costs. The amount and timing of costs under environmental laws are difficult to predict.

30. Our manufacturing activities are dependent on the delivery of adequate and uninterrupted supply of
electrical power at a reasonable cost. Any shortage or any prolonged interruption or increase in the cost of
power could adversely affect our business, result of operations, financial conditions and cash flows
Adequate and cost-effective supply of electrical power is critical to our operations. We have our manufacturing
facility in Vapi, Gujarat which depends on the delivery of an adequate supply of electrical power. We rely upon
diesel generator sets to ensure continuity of operations in case of power outage. For further details, see “Our
Business – Manufacturing Facility” on page 160 of this Red Herring Prospectus. There can be no assurance that
electricity supplied to our existing manufacturing facility will be sufficient to meet our requirements or that we
will be able to procure adequate and uninterrupted power supply in the future at a reasonable cost. If the per unit
cost of electricity is increased by the state electricity board our power cost will increase. An interruption in or
limited supply of electricity may result in suspension of our manufacturing operations. A prolonged suspension in
production could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
31. Our Company does not have any documentary evidence for the education qualifications of one of our
Directors i.e. Mr. Lalit Suthar.
Our Whole-Time Director, Lalit Suthar is unable to trace certificate of interior designing and decoration. Due to
lack of certificate and relevant information from the aforementioned Director, we have disclosed details of his
education qualification on the basis of affidavit letter from him, in his biographies in the chapter titled “Our
Management” as is required under the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2018. For further details, please refer to the
chapter titled “Our Management” on page 142 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
32. Industry information included in this Red Herring Prospectus has been derived from publicly available
industry reports and/or websites. There can be no assurance that such third-party statistical financial and
other industry information is either complete or accurate.
We have relied on the information from various publicly available industry reports and/or websites for purposes
of inclusion of such information in this Red Herring Prospectus. These reports are subject to various limitations
and based upon certain assumptions that are subjective in nature. We have not independently verified data from
such industry reports and other sources. Although we believe that the data may be considered to be reliable, their
accuracy, completeness and underlying assumptions are not guaranteed and their dependability cannot be assured.
While we have taken reasonable care in the reproduction of the information, the information has not been prepared
or independently verified by us or any of our respective affiliates or advisors and, therefore, we make no
representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of such facts and statistics. Due
to possibly flawed or ineffective collection methods or discrepancies between published information and market
practice and other problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics produced
for other economies and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, there is no assurance that they are stated or
compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy as may be the case elsewhere.
33. Our Promoters, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel may have interest in our Company, other than
remunerations and/or reimbursement of expenses incurred.
Our Promoters, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel may be deemed to be interested to the extent of the Equity
Shares held by them and benefits deriving from their shareholding in our Company. Our Promoters are interested
in the transactions entered into between our Company and themselves as well as between our Company and our
group entities. For further details, please refer to the chapters titled “Our Business” and “Our Promoter and
Promoter Group”, beginning on page 115 and 155 respectively and the chapter titled “Note 23 - Related Party
Transactions” under chapter titled “Restated Financial Statements” beginning on page 162 of this Red Herring
Prospectus.
34. Our Promoter and members of the Promoter Group will continue jointly to retain majority control over our
Company after the offer, which will allow them to determine the outcome of matters submitted to
shareholders for approval.
As of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters and Promoter Group collectively hold 81.97% of our
issued and outstanding equity share capital. Post the Offer, our Promoters and Promoter Group will continue to
hold 60.36% of our issued and outstanding Equity Share capital. By virtue of their shareholding, our Promoters
and Promoter Group will have the ability to exercise significant control and influence over our affairs and business,
including the appointment of Directors, the timing and payment of dividends, the adoption of and amendments to
our Memorandum and Articles of Association, the approval of a merger, amalgamation or sale of substantially all
of our assets and the approval of most other actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. The interests of
43
our Promoters and Promoter Group may be different from or conflict with the interests of our other shareholders
and their influence may result in change of our management or in our control, even if such a transaction may not
be beneficial to our other shareholders.
35. We may be subject to unionization, work stoppages or increased labour costs, which could adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
Our industry is labour intensive. The success of our operations depends on availability of labour and maintaining
a good relationship with our workforce. As of March 31, 2024, we employed about 69 employees across our
Unit and registered office. We do not have any trade union registered under the Trade Unions Act, 1962. In the
past three years, we have not experienced any labour dispute. We do not have any formal policy for redressal of
labour disputes. Although we have not experienced any major interruption to our operations as a result of labour
disputes in the recent past, there can be no assurance that we will not experience any such disruption in the future
as a result of disputes or disagreements with our work force, which may adversely affect our ability to continue
our business operations. We may also have to incur additional expense to train and retain skilled labour. We are
also subject to a number of stringent labour laws that protect the interests of workers, including legislation that
imposes financial obligations on employers upon retrenchment. There can be no assurance that we will not
experience labour unrest in the future, which may delay or disrupt our operations. Any labour unrest including
labour disputes, strikes and lockouts, industrial accidents, experienced by us could directly or indirectly prevent
or hinder our normal operating activities and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our
operations. In the event of any prolonged delay or disruption of our business, results of operations and financial
condition could be materially and adversely affected.
36. Our inability to accurately forecast demand or price for our products and manage our inventory may
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our business depends on our estimate of the demand for our products from customers. We estimate demand for
our products based on past sales and advance purchase order. If we overestimate demand, we may purchase more
raw materials and manufacture more products than required. If we underestimate demand, we may manufacture
fewer quantities of products than required, which could result in delayed or non-fulfilment of purchase orders
resulting in loss of customers, goodwill and business. In addition, if our products do not achieve widespread
acceptance or our customers, change their procurement preferences, we may be required to incur significant
inventory markdowns or may not be able to sell the products at all, which would affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition. As such, our inability to accurately forecast demand for our products and
manage our inventory may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial
condition.
37. We may be subject to significant risks and hazards when operating and maintaining our Units, for which
our insurance coverage might not be adequate.
We operate from one Unit in India. We generally perform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and operating
and other asset management services. Manufacturing top solid surfaces involves handling of certain very heavy
material which, if not handled properly, can be dangerous. In addition to natural risks such as earthquake, flood,
lightning, cyclones and wind, other hazards, such as fire, structural collapse and machinery failure are inherent
risks in our operations. They can cause significant personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction
of property, plant and equipment and may result in the suspension of operations. The occurrence of any one of
these events may result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting claims for substantial damages,
including for cleanup costs, personal injury and property damage and fines and/ or penalties.
We maintain an amount of insurance protection that we consider adequate including insurance policy covering
fire, damage to buildings, plant and machinery, stocks (raw materials and finished goods), vehicles and policy
covering damage to finished goods in transit. We may not have identified every risk and further may not be insured
against every risk because such risks are either uninsurable or not insurable on commercially acceptable terms,
including operational risk that may occur and the occurrence of an event that causes losses in excess of the limits
specified in our policies, or losses arising from events or risks not covered by insurance policies such as COVID-
19 and other pandemics, or due to the same being inadequate, could materially harm our cash flows, financial
condition and future results of operations. However, we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance will be
sufficient or effective under all circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which we may be subject. In
addition, our insurance coverage expires from time to time. We apply for the renewal of our insurance coverage
in the normal course of our business, but we cannot assure you that such renewals will be granted in a timely
manner, at acceptable cost or at all. Our total insurance cover for property, plant and equipment, and inventory, as
of March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, was 14,533.06 Lakhs, ₹ 6,678.14 Lakhs, and ₹ 6,678.14
Lakhs, respectively, which was 209.00%, 115.49%, and 128.93%, respectively of our net block of property, plant
44
and equipment, and inventory. The assets covered under insurance constitute 71.90%, 87.03%, and 93.16% as of
March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, respectively, of the total assets of our Company. There
have been no instances in the past where the insurance claims have exceeded insurance cover. However, there can
be no assurance that such instances will not occur in future. To the extent that we suffer loss or damage, or
successful assertion of one or more large claims against us for events for which we are not insured, or which
exceeds our insurance coverage, or where our insurance claims are rejected, the loss would have to be borne by us
and our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows could be adversely affected. For further
information on our insurance arrangements, see “Our Business-Insurance” beginning on page 114 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.
38. Restrictions on import of raw materials may adversely impact our business and results of operations
We currently import a minor portion of our raw materials. Raw material imports are regulated by certain specific
laws and regulations that permit concerned authorities to stop any import if it is deemed that the goods proposed
to be imported may be hazardous. While the raw materials we import may not be hazardous in nature, we cannot
assure you that such regulations will not be made applicable to us or that such regulations will not evolve into
more stringent regulations, which would place onerous requirements on us and consequently restrict our ability to
import raw materials. While we have not in the recent past experienced any challenges in importing such materials,
we cannot assure you that we will not experience any such challenges in the future. In light of the COVID-19
pandemic and the war scenario in Eastern Europe, the import of raw materials could be affected in the future. In
the event we are unable to import these materials, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying
alternate suppliers for raw materials or we will be able to source the raw materials at favourable terms in a timely
manner or at all. Any change in law or applicable governmental policies relating to imports, change in international
geo-political situations, restriction on import of raw materials could have an adverse effect on our ability to deliver
products to our distributors, business and results of operations.
39. The industry segment in which we operate being fragmented, we face competition from other players, which
may affect our business operations and financial conditions:
We compete in natural and engineered stone industry on the basis of the quality of our products, price, and
distribution. The industry in which we operate is highly competitive. Factors affecting our competitive success
include, amongst other things, price, demand for our products, availability of raw materials, brand recognition and
reliability. Our competitors vary in size, and may have greater financial, production, marketing, personnel and
other resources than us and certain of our competitors have a longer history of established businesses and
reputations in the global natural and engineered stone industry as compared with us. Competitive conditions may
cause us to incur lower net selling prices and reduce gross margins and net earnings. These conditions may continue
indefinitely. Changes in the identity, ownership structure, and strategic goals of our competitors and the emergence
of new competitors in our target markets may impact our financial performance. Our failure to compete effectively,
including any delay in responding to changes in the industry and market, together with increased spending on
advertising, may affect the competitiveness of our products, which may result in a decline in our revenues and
profitability. Also, see “Business – Competition” on page 202 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
40. Changes in technology may affect our business by making our Units or equipment less competitive.
Our profitability and competitiveness are to a certain extent dependent on our ability to respond to technological
advances and emerging industry standards and practices on a cost-effective and timely basis. Changes in
technology may make newer generation manufacturing equipment more competitive than ours or may require us
to make additional capital expenditures to upgrade our Units. Our inability to continue to invest in new and more
advanced technologies and equipment, may result in our inability to respond to emerging industry standards and
practices in a cost effective and timely manner that is competitive with other top surface manufacturing companies
and other methods of manufacturing. The development and implementation of such technology entails technical
and business risks. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully implement new technologies or adapt
our processing systems to emerging industry standards. If we are unable to adapt in a timely manner to changing
market conditions or technological changes, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected.
41. Our Promoters has provided personal guarantee for loans availed by us. In the event of default of the debt
obligations, the personal guarantees may be invoked thereby adversely affecting our Promoter’s ability to
manage the affairs of our Company and our Company’s profitability and consequently this may impact our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations
45
Our Company has availed certain loans in the normal course of business. Our Promoters has provided personal
guarantee in relation to such loans availed by our Company, for details please see “Financial Indebtedness” on
page 173. In the event of default in repayment of the loans by the Company, the personal guarantee extended by
our Promoter may be invoked by our lenders thereby adversely affecting our Promoter’s ability to manage the
affairs of our Company and this, in turn, could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.
42. Our Company’s management will have flexibility in utilizing the Net Proceeds from the Offer. The
deployment of the Net Proceeds from the Offer is being monitored by the Audit Committee and not an
independent monitoring agency.
Our Company intends to primarily use the Net Proceeds towards working capital requirement and for general
corporate purposes as described in “Objects of the Offer” on page 87 of this Red Herring Prospectus. In terms of
the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, we are not required to appoint a monitoring agency since the Offer size is not in
excess of ₹100 crores. . We undertake to monitor the utilisation of the issue proceed by the audit committee of the
Board
Further, pursuant to Section 27 of the Companies Act 2013, any variation in the objects would require a special
resolution of the Shareholders and our Promoters or controlling Shareholders will be required to provide an exit
opportunity to the Shareholders of our Company who do not agree to such proposal to vary the objects, in such
manner as may be prescribed in future by the SEBI.
Accordingly, prospective investors in the Offer will need to rely upon our management’s judgment with respect
to the use of Net Proceeds. If we are unable to enter into arrangements for utilization of Net proceeds as expected
and assumed by us in a timely manner or at all, we may not be able to derive the expected benefits from the
proceeds of the Offer and our business and financial results may suffer.
43. Any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds as disclosed in this Red Herring Prospectus shall be
subject to certain compliance requirements, including prior approval of the shareholders of our Company.
We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds for raising funds for working capital Requirement. For further details of
the proposed objects of the Offer, please refer the chapter titled “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 87 of
this Red Herring Prospectus. At this juncture, we cannot determine with any certainty if we would require the Net
Proceeds to meet any other expenditure or fund any exigencies arising out of the competitive environment, business
conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our control. In accordance with Section 27 of the
Companies Act, 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds as disclosed in this
Red Herring Prospectus without obtaining the approval of shareholders of our Company through a special
resolution. In the event of any such circumstances that require us to vary the disclosed utilization of the Net
Proceeds, we may not be able to obtain the approval of the shareholders of our Company in a timely manner, or at
all. Any delay or inability in obtaining such approval of the shareholders of our Company may adversely affect
our business or operations.
Further, our Promoters or controlling shareholders would be required to provide an exit opportunity to the
shareholders of our Company who do not agree with our proposal to modify the objects of the Offer, at a price and
manner as prescribed by SEBI. Additionally, the requirement on Promoters or controlling shareholders to provide
an exit opportunity to such dissenting shareholders of our Company may deter the Promoters or controlling
shareholders from agreeing to the variation of the proposed utilization of the Net Proceeds, even if such variation
is in the interest of our Company. Further, we cannot assure you that the Promoters or the controlling shareholders
of our Company will have adequate resources at their disposal at all times to enable them to provide an exit
opportunity.
In light of these factors, we may not be able to vary the objects of the Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the
Offer, if any, even if such variation is in the interest of our Company. This may restrict our Company’s ability to
respond to any change in our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilized portion of Net
Proceeds, if any, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
44. We have not paid any dividends in the past Financial Years. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will
depend upon future earnings, financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements and capital
expenditures.
46
Our ability to generate returns for Shareholders is dependent on a host of factors that impact our business and
financial condition. Our Company has not paid any dividend on its Equity Shares in the past Financial Years. The
amount of future dividend payments, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, such as our future earnings,
financial condition, cash flows, working capital requirements, contractual obligations, applicable Indian legal
restrictions, capital expenditures and cost of indebtedness.
In addition, our ability to pay dividends may be impacted by a number of factors, including restrictive covenants
under the loan or financing agreements our Company may enter into. Even in years in which we may have profits,
we may decide to retain all of our earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business and,
therefore, may not declare dividends on our Equity Shares. There can therefore be no assurance that we will be
able to pay dividends in the future. For further details, see section “Dividend Policy” on page 162 of this Red
Herring Prospectus.
45. Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and may experience price and volume fluctuations
following the completion of the Offer, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop, the
price of our Equity Shares may be volatile and you may be unable to resell your Equity Shares at or above
the Offer Price or at all.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market may not
develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation do not guarantee that a market for our Equity Shares
will develop or, if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. The Offer Price of the Equity
Shares is determined considering various financials factors of the Company and may not be indicative of the market
price of the Equity Shares at the time of commencement of trading of the Equity Shares or at any time thereafter.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the trading price of our
Equity Shares after this Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to various internal
or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Red Herring Prospectus. A decrease in the
market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
46. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities may differ from
those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their
rights as shareholders in an Indian company than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.
Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other
jurisdictions. Under the Companies Act, prior to issuance of any new equity shares, a public limited company
incorporated under Indian law must offer its equity shareholders pre-emptive rights to subscribe to a proportionate
number of equity shares to maintain existing ownership, unless such pre-emptive rights are waived by a special
resolution by a three-fourths majority of the equity shareholders voting on such resolution.
If you are a foreign investor and the law of the foreign jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of
such pre-emptive rights without our filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable
authority in such foreign jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights, unless we make such
a filing. If we elect not to file an offering document or a registration statement, the new securities may be issued
to a custodian, who may sell the securities for your benefit. The value such custodian receives on the sale of any
such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. To the extent that you are unable to exercise
pre-emptive rights granted in respect of our Equity Shares, your proportional interest in our Company would
decline.
47. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions
under Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of our
Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the
market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of
transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of us. Under the takeover regulations in India, an
acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or voting
rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others.
Although these provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of investors/shareholders are protected,
these provisions may also discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently,
even if a potential takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to
47
their market price or would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would
not be attempted or consummated because of the Indian takeover regulations.
48. There are restrictions on daily weekly monthly movement in the price of the equity shares, which may
adversely affect the shareholder’s ability to sell for the price at which it can sell, equity shares at a particular
point in time.
Once listed, we would be subject to circuit breakers imposed by the stock exchange, which does not allow
transactions beyond specified increases or decreases in the price of the Equity Shares. This circuit breaker operates
independently of the index- based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI. The percentage limit
on circuit breakers is said by the stock exchange based on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume
of the Equity Shares. The stock exchange does not inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker in effect
from time to time and may change it without our knowledge. This circuit breaker limits the upward and downward
movements in the price of the Equity Shares. As a result of the circuit breaker, no assurance may be given regarding
your ability to sell your Equity Shares or the price at which you may be able to sell your Equity Shares at any
particular time.
49. The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources and distract management.
We have no experience as a listed company and have not been subjected to the increased scrutiny of our affairs by
shareholders, regulators and the public that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed company, we
will incur additional legal, accounting, corporate governance and other expenses that we did not incur as an unlisted
company. We will be subject to the listing agreements with the Stock Exchanges and compliances of SEBI Listing
Regulation, 2015 which would require us to file audited annual and unaudited semi-annual and limited review
reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we delay making such filings, we may fail to satisfy
our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily determine and accordingly report any changes in
our results of operations as timely as other listed companies.
As a listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily transactions
to support the existence of effective disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting
and additional compliance requirements under the Companies Act, 2013. In order to maintain and improve the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, significant
resources and management oversight will be required. As a result, management’s attention may be diverted from
other business concerns, which could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of
operations. In addition, we may need to hire additional legal and accounting staff with appropriate listed company
experience and technical accounting knowledge, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so in a timely
manner.
50. Our Company will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale portion, and the Promoter Selling
Shareholder shall be entitled to the Offer Proceeds to the extent of the Equity Shares offered by them in
the Offer for Sale. Our Promoter are therefore interested in the Offer in connection with the Equity Shares
offered by them in the Offer for Sale.
The Offer includes an offer for sale of such number of Equity Shares aggregating 18,00,000 Equity shares by the
Promoter Selling Shareholder. The Promoter interested in the Offer Proceeds to the extent of the Equity Shares
offered by them in the Offer for Sale. The entire proceeds (net of offer expenses) from the Offer for Sale will be
paid to the Promoter Selling Shareholder in proportion to their respective portions of the Offered Shares transferred
pursuant to the Offer for Sale, and our Company will not receive any such proceeds. Further, except for listing
fees of the Offer, which will be borne by our Company, all cost, fees and expenses (including all applicable taxes)
in respect of the Offer will be shared amongst our Company and the Promoter Selling Shareholder on a pro-rata
basis, in proportion to the Equity Shares issued and allotted by our Company in the Fresh Issue and the Offered
Shares sold by the Selling Shareholders in the Offer for Sale, upon successful completion of the Offer. See Capital
Structure and Objects of the Offer on pages 71 and 87, respectively of this Red Herring Prospectus.
51. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could
adversely affect the financial markets and our business.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires,
explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could
48
adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Terrorist attacks and other acts of
violence or war in India or globally may adversely affect the Indian securities markets.
In addition, any deterioration in international relations, especially between India and its neighbouring countries,
may result in investor concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity
Shares. In addition, India has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years, and it is possible that future civil
unrest as well as other adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse effect on our
business. Such incidents could also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a
higher degree of risk and could have an adverse effect on our business and the market price of the Equity Shares.
52. Financial instability in other countries, particularly countries with emerging markets, could disrupt
Indian markets and our business and cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decrease.
The Indian financial markets and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other
countries, particularly emerging market countries in Asia. Although economic conditions are different in each
country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of
companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other
emerging markets may cause volatility in Indian financial markets and in the Indian economy. Any worldwide
financial instability could also have a negative effect on the Indian economy. Accordingly, any significant financial
disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
53. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of corporate
and tax laws, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and prospects.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Our business is
subject to a significant number of state tax regimes and changes in legislations governing them, implementing
them or the regulator enforcing them in any one of those jurisdictions could adversely affect our results of
operations. The applicable categories of taxes and tax rates also vary significantly from state to state, which may
be amended from time to time. The final determination of our tax liabilities involves the interpretation of local tax
laws and related regulations in each jurisdiction as well as the significant use of estimates and assumptions
regarding the scope of future operations and results achieved and the timing and nature of income earned, and
expenditures incurred. Changes in the operating environment, including changes in tax law, could impact the
determination of our tax liabilities for any given tax year. Taxes and other levies imposed by the Government or
State Governments that affect our industry include GST, income tax and other taxes, duties or surcharges
introduced from time to time and any adverse changes in any of the taxes levied by the Government or State
Governments could adversely affect our competitive position and profitability. Such changes, including the
instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and
prospects, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable
law and policy.
54. Civil unrest, acts of violence including terrorism or war involving India or other countries could materially
and adversely affect the financial markets and our business.
Any major hostilities involving India or other countries or other acts of violence, including civil unrest including
acts of terrorism or similar events that are beyond our control, could have a material adverse effect on the Indian
and/or global economies and our business. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence may adversely affect the
Indian stock markets, where our Equity Shares will trade, and the global equity markets generally. Such events
could also potentially lead to a severe economic recession, which could adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition, and cash flows, and more generally, any of these events could lower confidence in
India's economy.
India has witnessed civil disturbance in recent years, and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other
social, economic and political events in India could have a negative impact on our business. Such incidents could
also create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could
have an adverse impact on our business and the price of our Equity Shares.
55. Political instability and significant changes in Government policy could adversely affect economic
conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
Changes in exchange rates and controls, interest rates, Government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability
and other political and economic developments in and affecting India may have an adverse effect on our results of
operations.
49
India has a mixed economy with a large public sector and an extensively regulated private sector. The role of the
Government and that of the state governments in the Indian economy and their effect on producers, consumers,
service providers and regulators has remained significant over the years. Both state and central governments have,
in the past, among other things, imposed controls on the prices of a broad range of goods and services, restricted
the ability of businesses to expand existing capacity and reduce the number of their employees and determined the
allocation to businesses of raw materials and foreign exchange. Since 1991, successive Governments have pursued
policies of economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions in the private sector. Nevertheless,
the role of the Government and state governments in the Indian economy as producers, consumers and regulators
has remained significant. There can be no assurance that the Government’s past liberalization policies or political
stability will continue in the future. Elimination or substantial change of such policies or the introduction of
policies that negatively affect the security service industry could have an adverse effect on our business. Any
significant change in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies could disrupt business and
economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
56. The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources.
We are not a listed company. We have not been subjected to the increased scrutiny of our affairs by shareholders,
regulators and the public at large that is associated with being a listed company. As a listed company, we will incur
significant legal, accounting, corporate governance, and other expenses that we did not incur as an unlisted
company. We will be subject to the Equity Listing Agreements with the Stock Exchange which will require us to
file audited annual and half yearly reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we experience
any delays, we may fail to satisfy our reporting obligations and/or we may not be able to readily determine and
accordingly report any changes in our results of operations as promptly as other listed companies.
Further, as a listed company, we will need to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, including keeping adequate records of daily
transactions to support the existence of effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over
financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures
and internal control over financial reporting, significant resources and management attention will be required.
As a result, our management’s attention may be diverted from business concerns, which may adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Further, we may need to hire additional legal
and accounting staff with appropriate listed company experience and technical accounting knowledge but cannot
assure that we will be able to do so in a timely and efficient manner.
57. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could adversely affect our
business.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and international debt by domestic or international
rating agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other
commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have an adverse effect on our business
and financial performance, ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the price of the Equity Shares.
58. The trading volume and market price of the Equity Shares may be volatile following the Offer.
The market price of the Equity Shares may fluctuate as a result of, among other things, the following factors, some
of which are beyond our control:
50
• general economic and stock market conditions
Changes in relation to any of the factors listed above could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares.
59. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws and regulations, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian
company are generally taxable in India. Any gain realised on the sale of listed equity shares on a stock exchange
held for more than 12 months will not be subject to capital gains tax in India, upto an amount of ₹ 1 lakh, if
Securities Transaction Tax (“STT”) has been paid on the transaction. STT will be levied on and collected by a
domestic stock exchange on which the equity shares are sold. Any gain realised on the sale of equity shares held
for more than 12 months to an Indian resident, which are sold other than on a recognised stock exchange and on
which no STT has been paid, will be subject to long term capital gains tax in India. Further, any gain realised on
the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to short term capital gains tax
in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares will be exempt from taxation in India in cases
where the exemption from taxation in India is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the
seller is resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a
result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on a gain upon
the sale of the Equity Shares. In addition, changes in the terms of tax treaties or in their interpretation, as a result
of renegotiations or otherwise, may affect the tax treatment of capital gains arising from a sale of Equity Shares.
60. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract
foreign investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines and
reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in
compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions specified
by the RBI, then the prior approval of RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee
proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India require
a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax authorities. We cannot assure investors
that any required approval from the RBI or any other governmental agency can be obtained on any particular terms
or at all. For further details, please refer to section titled “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities”
beginning on page 247 of this Red Herring Prospectus.
61. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’
rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including
in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of
other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as shareholder in an
Indian company than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.
62. QIB and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity
of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or
lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Retail Individual Investors can revise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until Bid/
Offer Closing Date. While our Company is required to complete Allotment pursuant to the Offer within six
Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity
Shares, including material adverse changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or
economic conditions, our business, results of operations or financial condition may arise between the date of
submission of the Bid and Allotment. Our Company may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such
events occur, and such events may limit the Bidders ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer
or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.

We may have to revise our funding requirements and deployment on account of a variety of factors such as our
financial and market condition, business and strategy, competition, negotiation with vendors, variation in cost
estimates on account of factors, and other external factors such as changes in the business environment and interest
or exchange rate fluctuations, which may not be within the control of our management. This may entail
rescheduling or revising the planned expenditure and funding requirements, including the expenditure for a

Means of finance

requirements prescribed under Paragraph 9(C)(1) of Part A of Schedule VI and Regulation 230 (1)(e) of the SEBI
ICDR Regulations which require firm arrangements of finance to be made through verifiable means towards at
least 75% of the stated means of finance, excluding the amount to be raised through the Offer and existing

funds earmarked for the Objects, our Company may explore a range of options including utilizing our internal
accruals.
Our Company proposes to utilise ₹ 1,750.00 Lakhs towards funding its working capital requirements in the
ordinary course of business. We have significant working capital requirements, and in the ordinary course of
business we fund our working capital needs through internal accruals and availing financing facilities. Our
Company, in order to support its incremental business requirements, funding growth opportunities and for other
strategic, business, and corporate purposes requires additional working capital and such funding is expected to
lead to a consequent increase in our revenues and profitability.

Justifications
Particulars Justification
Inventories Currently, we feature two primary brands, Luxor and Aspiron, encompassing
multiple SKUs. The production is in batch process. Larger batch sizes are
preferred to mitigate excess production costs associated with smaller batches,
contributing to our relatively higher stock holding. Maintaining elevated
inventory levels is essential to meet customer expectations for swift delivery,
89
Particulars Justification
particularly in industries where rapid turnaround times significantly impact
customer satisfaction. Given the substantial lead time between placing an
order and receipt of raw material, it becomes imperative to uphold increased
inventory levels. This helps bridge the gap and ensures an uninterrupted
supply to meet customer demands. We strategically leverage opportunities
such as bulk purchasing discounts and capitalizing on price fluctuations in
raw materials by procuring larger quantities. This approach inevitably results
in higher inventory levels.
Due to effective management of working capital in the past, we previously
offered credit sales to selected customers. However, with an improved
working capital situation, we can now extend credit sales to a broader
customer base. Our increased experience and deeper market understanding
have allowed us to optimize production processes. Consequently, our
financial ratios have shown positive improvements, and there has been a
significant decrease in our holding period.
We are expecting that additional material produced will be sold on immediate
basis because we are going to give credit period to all the parties which was
not possible till date considering the constrain in the working capital from the
banks/ financial institutions, hence we are assuming that our inventory
holding period will come down from 198 days for FY 2024 to 116 days by
FY 2026. The finished good’s holding period will come down but holding
period for raw material will increase and it will not give any adverse effect
on overall basis.
Trade receivables In FY 2022, the trade receivable days stood at 125 days. The rationale for
having higher trade receivable days is to continue supporting the customers /
dealers and accommodating a flexible payment terms as everyone was
supporting the stakeholders considering the disruptions across supply chain,
cash flow constraints in light of the Covid19 pandemic.
Subsequently, once the pandemic (Covid19) and its impact is subsided, the
trade receivable days was reduced to 87 days in FY 2023 considering the
measures of enhance cash flow management and operational efficiency. The
Company has envisaged to maintain the trade receivable days, to focus on
financial sustainability and agility considering addition of new customers and
increasing the wallet share of existing customers.
The Trade Receivables days will come down from 121 days in FY 2024 to 79
Days by FY 2026, which is as per the general industry norms and company
is planning to give credit period to major parties to improve the volume and
margins, which was not possible till date considering the constrain in the
working capital from the banks/ financial institutions. It shall strive to
maintain the receivable holding period will be maintained at an existing level.
Trade payables In FY 2022, the trade payable days were a result of the repercussions
stemming from the pandemic COVID-19 and its impact across the industry.
Subsequently, once the pandemic (Covid19) and its impact is subsided, the
trade payable days was reduced to 144 days in FY 2023. The trade payables
days has further reduced to 110 days in FY 2024. The Company has envisaged
to focus on reduction in trade payable days in FY 2025 & FY 2026, as it aims
to secure more favourable pricing and negotiating improved payment terms
with our major suppliers based on the additional working capital support from
the proposed IPO.
The raw material is imported and same is against upfront or advance
payment. Due to upfront payment terms we will get cash discount in form of
reduction in price.
We are assuming trade payment days on lower side because company will get
the better pricing by maintaining healthy relationship and better payment
terms with large suppliers. Company is assuming that trade payable days will
reduce to 14 days in FY 2026 from current payable days of 110 days in FY
2024.

higher by about 0.2 percentage point, reflecting positive surprises and greater-than-expected resilience in
numerous economies. Negative growth in global GDP or global GDP per capita which often happens when there
is a global recession is not expected. Nevertheless, global growth projected for 2023 and 2024 is below the
historical (2000–19) annual average of 3.8 percent. The forecast of low growth in 2023 reflects the rise in central
bank rates to fight inflation- especially in advanced economies as well as the war in Ukraine. The decline in
growth in 2023 from 2022 is driven by advanced economies; in emerging markets and developing economies,
growth is estimated to have bottomed out in 2022. Following the path of global demand, world trade growth is
expected to decline in 2023 to 2.4 percent, despite an easing of supply bottlenecks, before rising to 3.4 percent in
2024.
For advanced economies, growth is projected to decline sharply from 2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.2 percent in 2023
before rising to 1.4 percent in 2024, with a downward revision of 0.2 percentage point for 2024. About 90 percent
of advanced economies are projected to see a decline in growth in 2023.
In the United States, growth is projected to fall from 2.0 percent in 2022 to 1.4 percent in 2023 and 1.0 percent in
2024. With growth rebounding in the second half of 2024, growth in 2024 will be faster than in 2023 on a fourth-
quarter-over-fourth-quarter basis, as in most advanced economies.
Growth in the United Kingdom is projected to be –0.6 percent in 2023, a 0.9 percentage point downward revision
from October, reflecting tighter fiscal and monetary policies and financial conditions and still-high energy retail
prices weighing on household budgets.
For emerging market and developing economies, growth is projected to rise modestly, from 3.9 percent in 2022
to 4.0 percent in 2023 and 4.2 percent in 2024, with an upward revision of 0.3 percentage point for 2023 and a
downward revision of 0.1 percentage point for 2024. About half of emerging markets and developing economies
have lower growth in 2023 than in 2022.
Growth in emerging and developing Asia is expected to rise in 2023 and 2024 to 5.3 percent and 5.2 percent,
respectively, after the deeper-than-expected slowdown in 2022 to 4.3 percent attributable to China’s economy.
China’s real GDP slowdown in the fourth quarter of 2022 implies a 0.2 percentage point downgrade for 2022
growth to 3.0 percent the first time in more than 40 years with China’s growth below the global average. Growth
in China is projected to rise to 5.2 percent in 2023, reflecting rapidly improving mobility, and to fall to 4.5 percent
in 2024 before settling at below 4 percent over the medium term amid declining business dynamism and slow
progress on structural reforms. Growth in India is set to decline from 6.8 percent in 2022 to 6.1 percent in 2023
before picking up to 6.8 percent in 2024, with resilient domestic demand despite external headwinds.
Inflation Peaking:
103
About 84 percent of countries are expected to have lower headline (consumer price index) inflation in 2023 than
in 2022. Global inflation is set to fall from 8.8 percent in 2022 (annual average) to 6.6 percent in 2023 and 4.3
percent in 2024––above pre-pandemic (2017–19) levels of about 3.5 percent.
In advanced economies, annual average inflation is projected to decline from 7.3 percent in 2022 to 4.6 percent
in 2023 and 2.6 percent in 2024––above target in several cases.
In emerging markets and developing economies, projected annual inflation declines from 9.9 percent in 2022 to
8.1 percent in 2023 and 5.5 percent in 2024, above the 4.9 percent pre-pandemic (2017–19) average.
In low-income developing countries, inflation is projected to moderate from 14.2 percent in 2022 to 8.6 percent
in 2024––still high, but close to the pre-pandemic average.
The global fight against inflation, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and a resurgence of COVID-19 in China weighed on
global economic activity in 2022, and the first two factors will continue to do so in 2023.
Despite these headwinds, real GDP was surprisingly strong in the third quarter of 2022 in numerous economies,
including the United States, the euro area, and major emerging market and developing economies. The sources of
these surprises were in many cases domestic: stronger-than-expected private consumption and investment amid
tight labour markets and greater-than-anticipated fiscal support. Households spent more to satisfy pent-up
demand, particularly on services, partly by drawing down their stock of savings as economies reopened. Business
investment rose to meet demand. On the supply side, easing bottlenecks and declining transportation costs reduced
104
pressures on input prices and allowed for a rebound in previously constrained sectors, such as motor vehicles.
Energy markets have adjusted faster than expected to the shock from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, however, this uptick is estimated to have faded in most-though not all-major
economies. US growth remains stronger than expected, with consumers continuing to spend from their stock of
savings (the personal saving rate is at its lowest in more than 60 years, except for July 2005), unemployment near
historic lows, and plentiful job opportunities. But elsewhere, high-frequency activity indicators (such as business
and consumer sentiment, purchasing manager surveys, and mobility indicators) generally point to a slowdown.

2023
INDIAN OUTLOOK:
India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world with real GDP growing 7.7 percent year-on-year
during Q1-Q3 fiscal year 2022-23 (April-March, FY22-23). Growth was underpinned by robust domestic demand-
strong investment activity bolstered by the government’s capex push and buoyant private consumption,
particularly among higher income earners. While the overall growth momentum remains robust and real GDP
growth for FY22-23 is estimated to be 6.9 percent, there were signs of moderation in Q3 as growth slowed to 4.4
percent year-on-year (y-o-y). There was also a change in the composition of domestic demand in Q3 FY22-23
with a lower share from government consumption as fiscal consolidation efforts continued. Estimates suggest that
the pandemic induced a spike in extreme poverty ($2.15), of up to 4 percentage points, moderated in FY21-22.
Headline inflation averaged around 6.6 percent in FY22-23. Average inflation in H2 FY22-23 was almost 1
percentage point lower than the first half as inflationary pressures began to taper and the combination of supply
side measures (such as export restrictions) and monetary policy tightening began to take effect. Notwithstanding
the moderation, headline inflation remains above the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) target range of 2–6 percent.
The gradual moderation in price pressures was led by a decline in food inflation (the single largest component of
headline inflation) and easing fuel prices on the back of softening in global oil prices. However, the core inflation
remained elevated in FY22-23, averaging around 6.1 percent over the fiscal year.
The current account deficit narrowed from 3.3 percent of GDP in H1 FY22-23 to 2.2 percent in Q3 FY22-23. The
current account balance remains adequately financed by robust net capital inflows and foreign direct investment
inflows. The rupee has depreciated by 9.1 percent since April 2022, but the pace of depreciation showed signs of
slowing in H2.
India’s economy has been relatively resilient to challenging external conditions, real GDP growth is likely to
moderate to 6.3 percent in FY23-24 from the estimated 6.9 percent in FY22-23.

India recently released GDP estimates for the October–December quarter of FY 2022–23 (Q3) along with
revisions of the past three years’ data. GDP data suggests that India emerged stronger from the pandemic than
initially assumed, with growth gathering steady momentum since FY 2022–23 (figure 1). GDP growth for FY
2020–21 was revised up by 0.77 percentage points, implying the recession was not as deep as previously thought.
For FY 2021–22, meanwhile, growth was revised up from 8.7% to 9.1%, suggesting stronger rebound. This
upward revision was primarily because of the stronger-than-anticipated growth in manufacturing and construction.
105
Data for the latest quarter (Q3) points to 4.4% year-over-year (YoY) growth in Q3, which is close to what we had
estimated (4.5% YoY) in January. Although it appears to be the weakest quarter of this fiscal, the significant
upward revision of last year’s data increased the base for this year’s growth estimates.
Two observations are worth noting: Despite the global slowdown, exports performed well, probably because of
the depreciated currency against the dollar. While goods exports remained modest, India’s services exports
skyrocketed by 30% between April and February. A strong digitization drive the world over, cost-cutting measures
by businesses to deal with the impending slowdown, and the growing trend of remote working increased demand
for exports of services in technology, where India has a comparative advantage. Interestingly, the share of business
and professional services in total services exports also increased as companies globally now prefer outsourcing a
wide range of professions, such as accounting, audit, R&D, quality assurance, and after-sales service.

The global countertops market size was valued at USD 131.50 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2023 to 2030. The increasing preference for multiple
bathrooms and spacious kitchens, the rising number of food-serving outlets, and an increasing number of hotel
rooms around the world are the major driving factors of the market. In addition, countertops are a fundamental
utility in labs, kitchens, retail, workrooms, and bathrooms. Various materials are used to build work platforms
according to their practicality, durability, aesthetics, and necessities, such as the necessity for built-in appliances
for a particular application.
109
Countertops are likely to generate significant revenue in the anticipated time frame since they are multipurpose
platforms with extensive utilities. The world economy was majorly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that
spread across the globe. Lockdowns had ordered in many nations around the world to stop the chain and spread
of the coronavirus. Moreover, during the pandemic home improvement project increased, especially in developed
economies. Moreover, demand for bathroom and kitchen remodeling in the U.S. is at a record high, as COVID-
19 vaccination rates rise and hybrid, permanent work-from-home lifestyles are encouraging consumers to
refurbish their home layouts.
As a result, the market witnessed significant growth during the pandemic. In addition, the industry is expanding
strongly due to an increase in private spending on home improvements and a consistent rise in the residential
building industry across the globe. In brand-new homes and during kitchen renovations, countertops are typically
added. For instance, in December 2022, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development,
and the U.S. Census Bureau, privately-owned housing completions in November 2022, were at an annual rate of
10% above October 2022, which were at an annual rate of 6%.
Moreover, there is a surge in bank lending and mortgage refinancing, which makes more credit available for
renovating existing homes and hence fuels demand for countertop items. For instance, in March 2022, according
to a survey by Discover, approximately 79% of property holders would rather renovate their current home than
move to a different one. This is expected to increase the home improvement market. In addition, nearly 58% of
millennial and Gen Z homeowners are presently working on home improvements or plan to do so within a couple
of months. This is expected to accelerate the industry growth over the forecast period.
With the growing preference for more expensive materials over laminates, the market value of the industry under
study is expected to increase during the forecast period. Moreover, cabinetry building materials including rust-
free concrete, recycled wood, tactile and leather surfaces, eco-friendly composite stone, and non-porous laminates
are among the current countertop industry trends. In addition, the continued rapid development in emerging
economies like China, India, and Brazil is further boosting product demand.
Furthermore, the leading players are adopting customer-driven marketing techniques, which may play a crucial
role in driving industry growth over the forecast period. For instance, Caesarstone released new types of concrete
materials in its Metropolitan Countertop Collection, such as Cloudburst Concrete 4011 and Airy Concrete 4044,
which have softer edges and airy visual patterns and are ideally suited for platforms in kitchens, bathrooms, and
offices.
Material Insights
110
In terms of revenue, the granite material segment dominated the industry in 2022 and accounted for the
maximum share of more than 28.65%. The increasing demand for granite for countertops is due to its inherent
strength, abrasion resistance, and excellent weathering durability, granite has long been used as an exterior
cladding and paving material. It is expected to remain one of the best material options available to modern
architects. This is expected to accelerate segment growth over the forecast period. The engineered quartz segment
is projected to register a steady CAGR from 2023 to 2030.
The increasing popularity of quartz among consumers for their kitchen and bathroom cabinets is expected to
propel the segment's growth. The increasing demand for eco-friendly materials for countertops is accelerating the
demand for engineered quartz. Furthermore, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
undertook a study to comprehend how crystalline silica stone (also known as quartz stone) is used and to develop
preventative strategies to limit its use as it can lead to respiratory conditions.
End-user Insights
The residential segment contributed to the largest share of more than 72.95% of the overall revenue in 2022 and
is expected to grow at a steady CAGR from 2023 to 2030. The increasing trend of preferring larger kitchens and
multiple bathrooms in single-family houses across developed nations is propelling the segment's growth.
Furthermore, rising investments by homeowners in home remodeling as home values increase are driving the
segment growth. The commercial segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR from 2023 to 2030.
The growing number of hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafés around the world is accelerating the product demand
in the commercial segment. Furthermore, the increasing demand for high-end design kitchens and bathrooms,
even in budget-level hotels, from travelers is putting pressure on luxury and mid-range hotel owners, who are
improving finishes, countertops, and furniture, adding features, and rethinking the guest experience. This will
propel the segment growth over the forecast period
Application Insights
In terms of revenue, the kitchen application segment dominated the industry in 2022 and accounted for the largest
share of more than 63.65%. The segment is estimated to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. The
rising demand for countertops in the kitchen is accelerating the growth of this application segment. Moreover, a
rise in the average share of housing space dedicated to kitchens in new residential constructions is expected to
accelerate the segment growth over the forecast period.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific dominated the industry in 2022 and accounted for the largest share of more than 36.40% of the overall
revenue. This high share can be attributed to improved living standards and ongoing projects to upgrade residential
and non-residential building units. In addition, the continued popularity of countertop replacement as a home
improvement activity will drive the market. Furthermore, the product demand will be boosted by the growing
consumer interest in porcelain slab, engineered stone, and butcher-block countertops as customers attempt to
upgrade from laminates and solid surfaces to more visually pleasing and natural-looking surfaces materials.

is expected to witness growth attributed to factors such as the rising living standards of consumers and continued
projects aimed at modernizing housing and non-residential building units. India is the region’s second-fastest-
growing market, and the country is likely to witness an increase in sales of countertop products owing to factors
like economic growth, an increase in the rising disposable income of people, expansion of distribution networks,
and growth in the construction sector.

investments for technology up-gradation and modernization of the textile industry. This, along with the rising
foreign direct investment (FDI) in the textile sector and the growing demand for bath and table linen, is driving
the market across the country. Moreover, there is an increase in the adoption of luxury home furnishings due to
the rising disposable incomes of individuals. Factors, such as the increasing number of households and rapid
expansion of interior design businesses across India, are also strengthening the market growth.

suppliers located in close proximity to our registered office/ Unit to minimize inward freight costs and reduce the
cost of raw materials. Some specific types of raw materials such as Alumina Tri Hydrate (ATH), Polyvinyl
Alcohol (PVA) film, is imported from suppliers based out of South Korea and China.
The power requirements for this facility are met through the local state power grid and power back-ups to operate
packaging lines and general lighting, while water is used from inhouse borewell.
Water is procured from the third-party water supplier. To minimize the wastage of water as well as to reduce the
water procurement cost, we process the water in effluent treatment plant for recycling and reuse it in the
manufacturing process.

The assumptions and estimates taken into account include the following: (1) batch per day is considered based on
8 hours of working plant per day; (2) No. of working days considered in all the financial years are 300 days.
Purchase requisition: When the department identifies the need for a particular raw material, a purchase requisition
is created, specifying the required quantity, description, and any other relevant details. The requisition is then
submitted to the purchase and procurement department for handling procurement requests.
Negotiation and order: Upon receiving the purchase requisition, the purchase and procurement team reviews the
requirements and initiates the negotiation process with potential suppliers. The negotiation involves discussing
pricing, terms and conditions, delivery schedules, and any other relevant factors. Once the negotiation is complete,
an order is placed with the chosen supplier, specifying the agreed-upon terms.
Quotation request: Before entering into negotiations, it is common to request quotations from multiple suppliers.
The purchase and procurement team sends out a quotation request to potential suppliers, providing them with the
necessary details and specifications of the desired product or service. Suppliers respond with their quotations,
which typically include pricing, delivery timelines, payment terms, and any other relevant information.
Issue Proforma Invoice: After the order is placed with the chosen supplier, they generate a proforma invoice. The
proforma invoice serves as a preliminary bill, providing a detailed breakdown of costs, including the agreed-upon
prices, taxes, shipping charges, and any other applicable fees. This document helps the purchasing organization
validate the order details before the final invoice is issued.
Invoice approval payment: Once the goods or services are delivered as per the order, the supplier issues a final
invoice to the purchasing organization. The invoice is reviewed internally for accuracy, compliance with the order,
and any contractual obligations. If everything is in order, the invoice goes through an approval process, usually
involving various stakeholders and following internal financial procedures. After approval, payment is made to
the supplier based on the agreed-upon payment terms, which could include a variety of methods such as wire
transfer, cheque, or electronic payment systems.

Manufacturing Process
Inspection of Raw Materials: The raw materials, including Alumina Trihydrate (ATH), acrylic, polyester resin,
marble chips, cross links agent, catalyst and colour pigments, are inspected for quality and consistency by our in-
house R&D Department. Any impurities or irregularities are identified and removed to ensure a high-quality end
product.
Mixing of Raw Material: The inspected materials are then accurately measured and mixed in predetermined
proportions. This process is typically carried out in a mixer machine. The goal is to achieve a thorough and uniform
distribution of the materials to ensure consistent properties throughout the solid surface.
Vacuum: After the mixing stage, the blended material is placed in a Stainless-Steel Belt Conveyor. Vacuuming
helps remove any trapped air bubbles, ensuring a smooth and void-free surface. This step is important for
enhancing the strength and integrity of the solid surface.
Dry and Solid: After the vacuuming process is finished, the mixture undergoes heating in the chambers,
transforming it from a liquid state to a solid state while simultaneously drying it, resulting in the formation of a
Solid Surface Sheet.
Sanding, Trimming & Backing: At this point, the surface may undergo sanding and trimming processes to achieve
the desired shape, size, and smoothness. The edges and corners are carefully shaped, and any imperfections or
excess material are removed. A backing material may also be added to reinforce the solid surface, depending on
its intended use.
Polishing, Filming & Packing: Once the solid surface has been sanded and trimmed, it undergoes a polishing
process to achieve a smooth and glossy finish. This may involve the use of abrasives and polishing compounds.
After polishing, a protective film may be applied to safeguard the surface from scratches and damage during
transportation and installation. Finally, the solid surfaces are carefully packed and prepared for shipping or
distribution.
Strengths
We have over the last few years introduced new categories/designs which have diverse end-use applications.
Initially when we started with 20 colours and 2 ranges (6mm and 12 mm). Subsequently, we have successfully
producing wide range of thickness (4 mm to 20 mm) with more than 100 different shades and colour option
and also established a good presence in Indian and international market in Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Greece,
USA, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Nepal, Thailand etc. which has helped us to diversify into more end-user industries
such as residential, commercial, hospitality, healthcare, exterior, and diverse industries, and much more. This
expansion has facilitated a diversified product portfolio and has helped us create demand for our solid surface
across various end-user industries.
121
Over last few years, we have expanded our product brand portfolio to multiple product categories/designs.
Having a wide portfolio of product categories/designs enables us to cross-sell to a large customer base
(which, in our case, are majorly distributors) who in-turn reach out to large number of retail counters for
serving the appliers and eventual end-customer. Having a wide product portfolio also enables our company
to efficiently compete with larger solid surface players in the market who also have a wide product offering.
Our constant efforts are focused towards continuously identifying market demands and introducing relevant
products with high quality.

LABOUR LAWS
The Factories Act, 1948, as amended (the “Factories Act”), defines a “factory” to cover any premises which
employs 10 or more workers on any day of the preceding 12 months and in which a manufacturing process is
carried on with the aid of power or any premises where at least 20 workers are employed, and where a
manufacturing process is carried on without the aid of power. Each state government has enacted rules in respect
of the prior submission of plans and their approval for the establishment of factories and registration/licensing
thereof. The Factories Act provides for imposition of fines and imprisonment of the manager and occupier of the
factory in case of any contravention of the provisions of the Factories Act.
The POW Act was enacted with a view to ensuring that wages payable to employed persons covered by the Act
were disbursed by the employers within the prescribed time limit and that no deductions other than those
authorised by law were made by them. It applies to the persons employed in a factory, industrial or other
establishment, where the monthly wages payable are less than Rs.21,000/- whether directly or indirectly, through
a sub-contractor and provides for the imposition of fines on persons responsible for payment of wages and
deductions and lays down wage periods. Employers have to compulsorily maintain register of wages, register of
fines, register of deduction for damages or loss, and register of advances in the prescribed forms.
The EC Act was enacted to provide for the payment by certain classes of employers to their employees of
compensation for injury by accident. The term "employer" under the EC Act includes any body of persons whether
incorporated or not and any managing agent of an employer and the legal representative of a deceased employer,
and, when the services of an employee are temporarily lent or let on hire to another person by the person with
whom the employee has entered into a contract of service or apprenticeship, means such other person while the
employee is working for him. Under the EC Act, the amount of compensation to be paid depends on the nature
and severity of the injury.
The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013
The POSH Act was enacted to provide protection against sexual harassment of women at workplace and for the
prevention and redressal of complaints of sexual harassment and for matters connected therewith or incidental
thereto. The POSH Act mandates every employer to provide a safe working environment at the workplace which
shall include safety from the persons coming into contact at the workplace. The POSH Act provides that employers
must formulate a policy against sexual harassment at workplace and that policy needs to be disseminated. The
POSH Act defines sexual harassment to include any unwelcome acts or a sexually determined behaviour (whether
directly or by implication). Workplace under the POSH Act has been defined very broadly to include government
132
bodies, private and public sector organisations, non-governmental organisations, organisations carrying on
commercial, vocational, educational, entertainment, industrial, financial activities, hospitals and nursing homes,
educational institutes, sports institutions and any place visited by the employee arising out of or during the course
of employment.
The ID Act was enacted to make provisions for, inter alia, the investigation and settlement of industrial disputes.
Industrial dispute under the ID Act means any dispute or difference between employers and employers, or between
employers and workmen, or between workmen and workmen, which is connected with the employment or non-
employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labour, of any person. The ID Act enumerates
the contingencies when a strike or lock-out can be lawfully resorted to, when they can be declared illegal or
unlawful, conditions for laying off, retrenching, discharging or dismissing a workman, circumstances under which
an industrial unit can be closed down and other matters related to industrial employees and employers.

Certain other Labour laws and regulations that may be applicable to our Company include the following:
133
• Public Liability Insurance Act, 1991
Certain laws relating to intellectual property rights such as patent protection under the Patents Act, 1970, copyright
protection under the Copyright Act, 1957 trademark protection under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, and design
protection under the Designs Act, 2000 are also applicable to us.
The Copyright Act, 1957 (the “Copyright Act”) governs copyright protection in India. Even while copyright
registration is not a prerequisite for acquiring or enforcing a copyright in an otherwise copyrightable work, regi
tration under the Copyright Act acts as a prima facie evidence of the particulars entered therein and helps expedite
infringement proceedings and reduce delay caused due to evidentiary considerations.
The Trademarks Act, 1999 (the “Trademarks Act”) provides for the process for making an application and
obtaining registration of trademarks in India. The purpose of the Trademarks Act is to grant exclusive rights to
marks such as a brand, label, heading and to obtain relief in case of infringement for commerc
al purposes as a trade description. The Trademarks Act prohibits registration of deceptively similar trademarks
and provides for penalties for infringement, falsifying and falsely applying trademarks.
Under statute, India provides for the patent protection under the Patents Act, 1970 (the “Patents Act”). The Patents
Act governs the patent regime in India and recognizes process patents as well as product patents. Patents obtained
in India are valid for a period of 20 years from the date of filing the application. The Patents Act also provides for
grant of compulsory license on patents after expiry of three years of its grant in certain circumstances such as
reasonable requirements of the public, non-availability of patented invention to public at affordable price or failure
to work the patented invention.
The Designs Act, 2000 (the “Designs Act”) protects any visual design of objects that are not purely utilitarian. An
industrial design consists of the creation of a shape, configuration or composition of pattern or colour, or
combination of pattern and colour in three-dimensional form containing aesthetic value. It provides an exclusive
right to apply a design to any article in any class in which the desig
is registered.
GENERAL LAWS
The Indian Contract Act codifies the way in which a contract may be entered into, executed, implementation of
the provisions of a contract and effects of breach of a contract. A person is free to contract on any terms he chooses.
The Contract Act consists of limiting factors subject to which contract may be entered into, executed and breach
enforced. It provides a framework of rules and regulations that govern formation and performance of contract.
The Sale of Goods Act governs contracts relating to sale of goods in India. The contracts for sale of goods are
subject to the general principles of the law relating to contracts. A contract of sale may be an absolute one or based
on certain conditions. The Sale of Goods Act contains provisions in relation to the essential aspects of such
contracts, including the transfer of ownership of the goods, delivery of goods, rights and duties of the buyer and
seller, remedies for breach of contract and the conditions and warranties implied under a contract for sale of goods.
134
The Act deals with laws relating to companies and certain other associations. The Companies Act primarily
regulates the formation, financing, functioning and winding up of companies. The Act prescribes regulatory
mechanism regarding all relevant aspects including organizational, financial and managerial aspects of companies.
Regulation of the financial and management aspects constitutes the main focus of the Act. In the functioning of
the corporate sector, although freedom of companies is important, protection of the investors and shareholders,
on whose funds they flourish, is equally important. The Companies Act plays the balancing role between the set
of competing factors, namely, management autonomy and investor protection.
The Specific Relief Act, 1963 is complimentary to the provisions of the Contract Act and the Transfer of Property
Act, as the Act applies both to movable property and immovable property. The Act applies in cases where the
Court can order specific performance of a contract. Specific relief can be granted only for purpose of enforcing
individual civil rights and not for the mere purpose of enforcing a civil law. “Specific performance” means Court
will order the party to perform his part of agreement, instead of imposing on him any monetary liability to pay
damages to other party.
The Information Technology Act, 2000 (the “IT Act”) and the rules made thereunder
The IT Act seeks to: (i) provide legal recognition to transactions carried out by various means of electronic data
interchange involving alternatives to paper-based methods of communication and storage of information; (ii)
facilitate electronic filing of documents; and (iii) create a mechanism for the authentication of electronic
documentation through digital signatures. The IT Act provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction over any offence or
contravention under the IT Act committed outside India by any person, irrespective of their nationality, if the act
or conduct constituting the offence or contravention involves a computer, computer system or computer network
located in India. Additionally, the IT Act empowers the Government of India to direct any of its agencies to
intercept, monitor or decrypt any information in the interest of sovereignty, integrity, defence and security of
India, among other things. The Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking for Access of
Information by Public) Rules, 2009 specifically permit the Government of India to block access of any information
generated, transmitted, received, stored or hosted in any computer resource by the public, the reasons for which
are required to be recorded by it in writing.
The IT Act facilitates electronic commerce by recognizing contracts concluded through electronic means, protects
intermediaries in respect of third-party information liability and creates liability for failure to protect sensitive
personal data. The IT Act also prescribes civil and criminal liability including fines and imprisonment for
computer related offences including those relating to unauthorized access to computer systems, tampering with
or unauthorised manipulation of any computer, computer system or computer network and damaging computer
systems, and creates liability for negligence in dealing with or handling any sensitive personal data or information
in a computer resource and in maintaining reasonable security practices and procedures in relation thereto, among
others.
The Customs Act, as amended, regulates import of goods into and export of goods from India by providing for
levy and collection of customs duties on goods in accordance with the Customs Tariff Act, 1975. Any company
intending to import or export goods is first required to get registered under the Customs Act and obtain an Importer
Exporter Code under FTDR. Customs duties are administrated by Central Board of Indirect Tax and Customs
under the Ministry of Finance, Governmen
of India.
Foreign investment in India is governed by the provisions of FEMA along with the rules, regulations and
notifications made by RBI thereunder, and the Consolidated FDI Policy issued by the Department of Industrial
Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India (“DIPP”) from time to time.
Under the current FDI Policy (effective October 15, 2020) 100% foreign direct investment is permitted in the
animal husbandry sector, under the automatic route.
135
As per the SEBI (Foreign Portfolio Investors) Regulations, 2019 (“SEBI FPI Regulations”), investments by
Foreign Portfolio Investors (“FPIs”) in the capital of an Indian company under the SEBI FPI Regulations are
subject to individual holding limits of 10% of the total paid up equity capital on a fully diluted basis of the
company per FPI. If the investment exceeds the threshold limit of 10% the investor must divest the excess holding
within five days of the breach, and if not accordingly divested, the entire investment in the company by the FPI
shall be considered as FDI and the FPI will be prohibited from making further investments in the company under
the regulations.
OTHER LAWS:
In addition to the above, our Company is also required to comply with the provisions of the SEBI regulations and
rules framed thereunder, and other applicable statutes enacted by the Government of India or relevant state

Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment will be added to the category comprising of applicants applying for
the minimum number of Shares.
