Industry and Market Data
Unless stated otherwise, the industry and market data and forecasts used throughout this Prospectus has been obtained from
industry sources as well as Government Publications. Industry sources as well as Government Publications generally state
that the information contained in those publications has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable. The extent to
which the market and industry data used in this Prospectus is meaningful depends on the reader’s familiarity with and

the industry in which the business of our Company is conducted, and methodologies and assumptions may vary widely
among different industry sources. Accordingly, investment decisions should not be based solely on such information.
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, “Basis for Offer Price” on page 112 of this Prospectus includes
information relating to our peer group entities. Such information has been derived from publicly available sources, and

19FORWARD - LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements generally can be
identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “objective”, “plan”,
“propose”, “project”, “will”, “will continue”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import. Similarly,
statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-looking statements. All forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, expectations and assumptions about us that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. These forward-looking statements, whether
made by us or a third party, are based on our current plans, estimates and expectations and actual results may differ
materially from those suggested by such forward-looking statements.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by forward-looking statements due to risks or uncertainties
associated with expectations relating to and including, regulatory changes pertaining to the industries in India in which we
operate and our ability to respond to them, our ability to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion,
technological changes, our exposure to market risks, general economic and political conditions in India which have an
impact on its business activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated
turbulence in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial
markets in India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in the industries
in which we operate.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s expectations include, but
are not limited to, the following:
• We depend on one of our key customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and any decrease in revenues or sales
from such customer may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
• We derive a significant portion of our revenue from certain of our products. If sales volume or price of such products
declines in the future, or if we are unable to sell such products for any reason, our business, financial condition, cash
flows and results of operations could be adversely affected. Our commercial success is largely dependent upon our
ability to strategically diversify our product portfolio. Presently, we deal in a limited number of products and therefore,
our ability to diversify and successfully market our products might be limited, which may have an adverse impact on
our revenue and profitability.
• We derive a significant portion of our revenues from repeat orders which we identify as orders placed by key customers
that have placed orders with our Company previously. Any loss of, or a significant reduction in the repeat orders
received by us could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
• Our business is subject to seasonal variations that could result in fluctuations in our results of operations. Further, fresh
vegetables being the principal raw material used for manufacturing of our products, our business depends on the
availability of such vegetables and any shortage of vegetables may adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
• The improper handling, processing or storage of raw materials or products, or spoilage of and damage to such raw
materials and products, or any real or perceived contamination in our products, could subject us to regulatory and legal
action, damage our reputation and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from our estimates and expectations, see “Risk
Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations”
beginning on page 29, 139 and 227, respectively, of this Prospectus. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are
only estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual gains or losses
could materially differ from those that have been estimated.
We cannot assure investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to be correct.
Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and not
to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect current views as on the date of this Prospectus and are not a guarantee of future
performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on
currently available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are
based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on
these assumptions could be incorrect. Neither our Company, our Directors, the Promoters, the Syndicate nor any of their
respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after
the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.

permission by the Stock Exchange for the Offer.

29INTERNAL RISK FACTORS
BUSINESS RELATED RISKS
1. We depend on one of our key customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and any decrease in revenues or
sales from such customer may adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, we do not have
firm commitment agreements with some of our customers. If our customers choose not to source their requirements
from us, there may be a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of
operations
We are a manufacturer and processer of dehydrated vegetables, serving leading institutional manufacturers engaged
in branded packaged food industries, traders and international importers of dehydrated products. We derive majority
of our revenue from a leading FMCG manufacturer, headquartered in West Bengal, India. We have entered into formal
agreements with such customer, which has a validity ranging from ten (10) months to twelve (12) months, which are
extendable mutually based on the demand of products and status of execution of the order. While, we have executed
formal agreements with the leading FMCG manufacturer, we cannot assure you that either of the parties will not
terminate such agreement or breach any covenant of such agreements. Further, in the event such agreements are not
renewed or if such agreements are renewed, the terms added therein are not favourable to our Company, our business
and financial condition will be adversely affected.
The aforementioned customer accounts for a substantial portion of our sales, and consequently our revenue, and we
expect that such customer will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue from sale of products in the
foreseeable future. The revenue earned from the sale of our products, through our top ten customers during the Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023 have been provided below:

Given that we derive a significant portion of our revenue from one customer, we are exposed to additional risks
including, but not limited to (i) stricter compliance requirements which may increase our compliance costs; (ii) terms
and conditions of contracts, tend to be more onerous and are often more difficult to negotiate; and (iii) inability to
diversify our risks relating to customer concentration or default or delay in payments by customers. While, we have
sustained above-average profitability due to prudent inventory management, however our operations remains
susceptible to cyclicality in the FMCG industry, which may result in an adverse impact on our business, results of
operation and financial conditions.
We do not enter into formal agreements or arrangements with some of our customers and typically rely on blanket
purchase orders issued by our customers from time to time that set out the price per unit of the products that are to be
supplied to/ purchased by them from us. Pursuant to the purchase order, our customers provide us the product
specification, quantities of units to be supplied along with the delivery schedules specifying the details of delivery. In
the event our customers terminate their arrangements with us or commit defaults in payment of amounts owed to us,
our business, results of operations and financial condition may be impacted. Due to the absence of long term
agreements with some of our customers, the actual sales by our Company may differ from the estimates of our
management. The loss of one or more of these significant or key customers or a reduction in the amount of business
we obtain from them could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows. While, the aforementioned events have not occurred in the past, however occurrence of any such events in the
future may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In the event, there takes place a shift of practice, wherein our customers start manufacturing raw materials such as
dehydrated products in-house, to reduce their dependence on third party manufacturers, it may have an adverse impact
on our business and results of operations. It may also happen that our competitors are able to improve the efficiency
of their manufacturing process and thereby offer similar or high-quality products at competitive prices. While the
aforementioned events have not materially occurred in the past, however upon occurrence of any such events, our
Company may be unable to adequately react to such developments which may affect our revenues and profitability.
Our future success depends in part on our ability to reduce our dependence on our key customers by further
diversifying our product portfolio and customer base. We propose to invest in capital expenditure from the Net
Proceeds of the Offer, for adding additional machinery in our manufacturing unit, which would enable us to
manufacture products such as dehydrated onion flakes, etc. We also wish to increase our manufacturing capacity by
increasing our manufacturing capacity by adding additional machinery in both of our production lines to cater to large
quantities of orders from a number of customers. Any failure to successfully manufacture and market our products
could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Our business, growth
prospects and financial performance largely depends on our ability to attract new clients, retain our existing clients
and effectively implement our diversification and expansion strategies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
achieve the same in a timely and effective manner, on the occurrence of such an event, our business, results of
operations and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.
2. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from certain of our products. If sales volume or price of such
products declines in the future, or if we are unable to sell such products for any reason, our business, financial
31condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected. Our commercial success is largely
dependent upon our ability to strategically diversify our product portfolio. Presently, we deal in a limited number
of products and therefore, our ability to diversify and successfully market our products might be limited, which
may have an adverse impact on our revenue and profitability.
We are a manufacturer and processer of dehydrated vegetables, serving leading institutional manufacturers engaged
in branded packaged food industries, traders and international importers of dehydrated products. Presently, our
product portfolio includes, dehydrated carrot, dehydrated cabbage and dehydrated ring beans/beans. For details in
respect of our products, please refer to “Our Business- Flexible and diversified product portfolio” on page 144 of this
Prospectus. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from dehydrated carrots and dehydrated ring beans. A
break up of the product-wise revenues earned by our Company during the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 have been
provided below:

As on date of this Prospectus, we derive a significant portion of our revenue from a limited number of products and
our ability to expand our operations and increase our revenue and profits is dependent upon strategic diversification
of our product portfolio. If the sales volume or pricing of the aforementioned products declines in the future due to
any reason, such as shortage in the supply of raw materials, disruption in the manufacturing process, decrease in
consumer demand; or if this product may no longer be sold due to withdrawal or cancellation of applicable regulatory
approvals, etc., our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be adversely affected.
There have not been any instances wherein we had to withdraw certain of our products, however occurrence of any
such events in respect of our best selling products could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
32Our Company had commenced its business operations by manufacturing dehydrated carrots and has subsequently
added dehydrated ring beans and cabbage as part of its offered products. We have in the past successfully added and
commercialised our products, by cross selling them to our existing customers, however we cannot assure you that we
shall be able to achieve the same in the future as well. We are in the process of diversifying our product portfolio by
adding products such as dehydrated beetroot, dehydrated papaya and dehydrated onions, however such products are
in the development stage. We cannot assure you that such products will be developed in time or that such products
shall be commercially successful with our customers. In the event, our customer highlight any quality or health related
concerns in such products we may have to redevelop our products thereby leading to increased expenditure on product
development and delayed returns on investment. We have incurred an amount aggregating to ₹NIL, ₹ NIL, ₹ 8.80
lakhs and ₹ 1.51 lakhs as expenditure towards product development during the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, which
constituted 0%, 0%, 0.61% and 0.12%, respectively of our total expenses, respectively. Our failure to effectively react
to these situations or to successfully introduce new products could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of
operations and financial condition.
3. We derive a significant portion of our revenues from repeat orders which we identify as orders placed by key
customers that have placed orders with our Company previously. Any loss of, or a significant reduction in the
repeat orders received by us could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from operations from repeat orders from our key customers which we
identify as orders placed by key customers, who have placed orders with our Company previously. Set forth below is
our revenue from such customers in the Financial Years ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023:
Particulars March 31, 2025 March 31, 2024 March 31, 2023
(₹ in lakhs) % of our (₹ in lakhs) % of our (₹ in lakhs) % of our

Revenue 1,781.63 52.12 1,239.42 52.97 1,400.53 92.82
from repeat
orders from
key
customers
We have historically been dependent, and expect to depend, on such repeat orders, for a substantial portion of our
revenue and the loss of any them for any reason (including due to loss of, or termination of existing arrangements;
limitation to meet any urgent demand, failure to address issues with quality of products, or disputes with a customer;
adverse changes in the financial condition of our customers, such as possible bankruptcy or liquidation or other financial
hardship, change in business practices of our dealers) could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
4. Our business is subject to seasonal variations that could result in fluctuations in our results of operations. Further,
fresh vegetables being the principal raw material used for manufacturing of our products, our business depends
on the availability of such vegetables and any shortage of vegetables may adversely affect our business and results
of operations.
Our business is influenced by the availability of vegetables, such as carrots, cabbage, ring beans, etc. Our production
schedules are therefore dependent upon the availability of such products at cost competitive prices. While, there have
been instances in the past, wherein our operations were affected by seasonal fluctuations on account of non-availability
of vegetables, we cannot assure you that such instance shall not occur in the future. For instance, during the Financial
Year 2024, our Company experienced a reduction in production of dehydrated carrot and cabbage, on account of less
availability of fresh vegetables in the market, owing to seasonal fluctuation. Our business depends on the availability
of fresh vegetables and any shortage of such vegetables may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We do not own any land for cultivation of vegetables and we purchase our entire raw material requirement directly
from various independent farmers from within and outside our reserved area. The farmers from whom we procure our
raw materials are not obligated to sell their produce to our Company and can offer their products to our competitors at
better pricing, therefore we need to maintain cordial relations with these farmers to ensure that they sell their produce
to us. Also, we strive to maintain relations with farmers in other areas not in our immediate vicinity so that we have
adequate supply of vegetables during all seasons. Further, the farmers associated with us have no legal or contractual
obligation to cultivate the vegetables procured by us and may instead grow other crops. If the farmers from whom we
33procure our raw materials, cultivate other crops, or otherwise limit their cultivation of the desired vegetables, we may
have a shortage of the raw material. We do not have any long term agreement with our farmers and also the farmers are
not obligated to sell their produce to us. The absence of long-term contracts at fixed prices exposes us to volatility in
the prices of raw materials that we require and we may be unable to pass these costs onto our customers, which may
reduce our profit margins. We also face a risk that one or more of our existing suppliers may discontinue their supplies
to us, and any inability on our part to procure raw materials from alternate suppliers in a timely fashion, or of a desired
quality, or on commercially acceptable terms, may adversely affect our operations.
A break up of the expenses incurred from top five and top ten suppliers are as under:
(₹ in Lakhs)
Particulars Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Amount Percentage
(%) (%) (%)
Top 5 suppliers 1,366.11 62.41 408.23 23.68 582.89 41.67
Top 10 suppliers 1,599.42 73.07 549.31 31.87 727.30 51.99
To ensure that the farmers stay interested in selling their produce to our Company, we may need to provide financial
and other incentives to the farmers, which may increase our expenditure, which we may not able to pass on to our
customers. On the other hand, diversion of vegetables to our competitors may reduce the share of vegetables available
for us and may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation. In addition, adverse weather conditions,
crop disease, pest attacks may adversely affect crop yields and recovery rates for any given harvest and may adversely
affect our manufacturing operations. Flood or drought can adversely affect the supply and pricing of the vegetables
procured by us from the farmers. There can be no assurance that weather patterns, crop disease or the cultivation of
certain vegetable varieties will not reduce the amount of raw materials that we can recover in any given harvest. Any
reduction in the vegetables sourced could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
5. The improper handling, processing or storage of raw materials or products, or spoilage of and damage to such raw
materials and products, or any real or perceived contamination in our products, could subject us to regulatory and
legal action, damage our reputation and have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
The products that we manufacture or process are subject to risks such as contamination, adulteration and product
tampering during their manufacture, transport or storage. We face inherent business risks of exposure to product liability
or recall claims in the event that our products fail to meet the required quality standards or are alleged to result in harm
to customers. These contaminations may be human induced or natural, and, as a result, there is a risk that they could
affect our final products. Vegetables, if not stored properly may be exposed to deterioration, fleas, putrefaction or
diseases, such as, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli, etc. The food borne illness
initiated in domestic refrigerator may be attributed to inappropriate food storage including ineffective chill storage and
refrigerator management. Failure to follow correct practices in the maintenance, use or cleaning of domestic refrigerator
poses a number of risks to consumers. Microbial contamination caused by unwashed raw foods, hands, leaking
packages, utensil surface, etc are introduced to domestic refrigerator and can directly contaminate other stored foods.
(Source: https://www.ijcmas.com/6-12-2017/Shweta%20Madhwal%20and%20Sonika%20Sharma.pdf) There is a
potential for deterioration of our products as a result of improper handling at the processing, packing, storing or
transportation levels, which may adversely affect our customer image. Such risks may be controlled, but not eliminated,
by adherence to good manufacturing practices and finished product testing. We have little, if any, control over proper
handling once our products are shipped to our customers. We face the risk of legal proceedings and product liability
claims being brought by various entities, including consumers, distributors and government agencies for various reasons
including for defective or contaminated products sold or services rendered. If we experience a product recall or are a
party to a product liability case, we may incur considerable expense in litigation. We cannot assure that we will not
experience product recalls or product liability losses in the future. Further, we do not have any product liability
insurance cover and getting such an insurance afresh will require additional cost. Any product recall, product liability
claim or adverse regulatory action may adversely affect our reputation and brand image, as well as entail significant
costs in excess of available insurance coverage, which could adversely affect our reputation, business, results of
operations and financial condition. While, the aforementioned events have not occurred in the past, however occurrence
of such events in the future, may have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
6. Our Company is reliant on the demand from the FMCG industry for a significant portion of our revenue. Any
downturn in the FMCG industry or an inability to increase or effectively manage our sales could have an adverse
impact on our Company’s business and results of operations.
34We manufacture dehydrated carrot, dehydrated cabbage and dehydrated ring beans / beans, as raw materials in the
fast moving consumer goods (“FMCG”) industry, for products such as cup noodles, ready to eat noodles, pasta, soup,
etc. Accordingly, our revenue of operations for our products is significantly dependent upon the success of the FMCG
industry. Our revenues are highly dependent on our customers from the FMCG industry and the loss of any of our
customers from any industry which we cater to may adversely affect our sales and consequently on our business and
results of operations.
In the event, our customers substitute our products with that of our competitors due to difference in price or quality
of the products, it may have an adverse impact on the demand for our products. Similarly, in the event our competitors
who are larger than us or develop alliances to compete against us may be able to improve the efficiency of their
manufacturing process or their distribution or raw materials sourcing process and thereby offer high quality products
at lower price and our Company may be unable to adequately react to such developments which may affect our
revenues and profitability. Furthermore, our competitors may be able to with-stand industry downturns better than us
or provide customers with products at more competitive prices; thereby impacting our revenues and profitability
adversely.
7. The commercial success of our products depends to a large extent on the success of the products of our end use
customers. If the demand for the end use products in which our products are used as a raw materials declines, it
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The products manufactured and supplied by us are primarily utilized as raw materials in the FMCG industry, for
manufacturing instant products such as, cup noodles, ready to eat noodles, pasta, soup, etc. Our customers are mainly
leading institutional manufacturers engaged in branded packaged food industries, traders and international importers
of dehydrated products. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Our Business” at page 139 of this
Prospectus.
The demand of our products is directly proportional to the demand of the products of our customers who use our
products to market their products and services. Therefore, the commercial success of our business is highly dependent
on the commercial viability, demand and success of the end use products of our customers. Any downturn in the
demand of such products could have a direct impact on the demand of our products and our business operations. Any
disturbance in the industry in which our customers supply their end use products could adversely impact our business
due to our high dependence on our customers. A reduction in the demand, development and production activities in
the industries in which the end use products of our customers are supplied to, may correspondingly cause a decline in
the demand for our products due to a slump in the business activities of our customers. Alternatively, in the event our
customers devise another cost effective method to market and sell their products or if our customers are able to find
a cheaper alternative for our products, it could conversely result in a reduction in the demand of our products and
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot assure you that we will be develop diverse applications of our products in various industries to diversify
and bifurcate our business risk in a systematic manner and counter effect the failure of one industry to avoid an impact
on our business operations. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to provide cost effective and quality
products to our customers, which would deter them from approaching our competitors to substitute our products at
lower prices. Our failure to effectively react to these situations or to successfully introduce new products or new
applications for our existing products could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and
financial condition.
8. Our manufacturing unit and our operations are geographically concentrated in Madhya Pradesh. Consequently,
we are exposed to risks from economic, regulatory and other developments in such region which could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Further, our continued operations
are critical to our business and any shutdown of our manufacturing unit may adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing unit and our business operations are located in District Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. Our products find
extensive application in the FMCG sector. Our products find wide application as raw materials in the FMCG industry,
for products such as cup noodles, ready to eat noodles, pasta, soup, etc. Since all our manufacturing and storage
operations are restricted in Madhya Pradesh, the economic and regulatory condition in Madhya Pradesh may be
impact our business operations, on account of various factors outside our control, including prevailing local, social
and economic conditions, changes in the applicable governmental regulations, demographic trends, changes in
regulations governing employment of labourers, fluctuation in the income levels and interest rates, among other
35factors. Further, since our manufacturing unit is concentrated in Madhya Pradesh any political disruption, natural
calamities or civil disruptions, opposition and protests, particularly in locations where we operate in Madhya Pradesh,
could adversely affect our business operations or strategy. There is no assurance that such disruption in business
operations would not bring any hindrance in the functioning of our manufacturing unit. Consequently, our business,
results of operations, cash flows and financial condition have been and will continue to be heavily dependent on the
performance of, and the prevailing conditions affecting the FMCG industry in Madhya Pradesh and all over India.
While, the aforementioned events have not occurred in the past, however occurrence of such events in the future, may
have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Further, as a result, any local social unrest, natural disaster or breakdown of services and utilities in Madhya Pradesh,
could have material adverse effect on the business, financial position and results of our operations. Our current
manufacturing unit is subject to operating risks, such as breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or
processes, reduction or stoppage of water supply, performance below expected levels of efficiency, obsolescence,
natural disasters, industrial accidents and the need to comply with the directives of relevant government authorities.
In the event, we are forced to shut down our manufacturing unit for a prolonged period; it would adversely affect our
earnings, our other results of operations and financial condition as a whole. Spiralling cost of living around our unit
may push our manpower costs in the upward direction, which may reduce our margin and cost competitiveness.
While, the aforementioned events have not occurred in the past, however occurrence of such events in the future, may
have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In addition to the above if our manufacturing unit suffers losses as a result of any industrial accident, we may be
forced to shut down our manufacturing unit which could result in us being unable to meet with our commitments,
which will have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition. Further, any
contravention of or non-compliance with the terms of various regulatory approvals applicable to our manufacturing
unit may also require us to cease or limit production until such non-compliance is remedied to the satisfaction of
relevant regulatory authorities. While, the aforementioned events have not occurred in the past, however we cannot
assure you that we will not experience work disruptions in the future resulting from any dispute with our employees
or other problems associated with our employees and the labor involved in our manufacturing unit, which may hinder
our regular operating activities and lead to disruptions in our operations, which could adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
9. We generate our major portion of sales from our operations in certain geographical regions. Any adverse
developments affecting our operations in these regions could have an adverse impact on our revenue and results
of operations.
We generate major sales from our customers situated at select geographical regions, namely, Karnataka, Maharashtra
and Madhya Pradesh. Such geographical concentration of our business in these regions heightens our exposure to
adverse developments related to competition, as well as economic and demographic changes in these regions which
may adversely affect our business prospects, financial conditions and results of operations. The table sets forth below
revenue earned by our Company by offering services in various states as a percentage of our revenue from operations
during the period indicated:

Existing and potential competitors to our businesses in these states may increase their focus on these states. The
36concentration of our operations heightens our exposure to adverse developments related to competition, as well as
economic, political, demographic and other changes, which may adversely affect our business prospects, financial
conditions and results of operations. While we strive to geographically diversify our product portfolio and reduce our
concentration risk, we cannot assure you that adverse developments associated with the region will not impact on our
business. If we are unable to mitigate the concentration risk, we may not be able to develop our business as planned
and our business, financial condition and results of operation could be adversely affected.
This concentration of business subjects us to various risks, including but not limited to:
(i) vulnerability to change in laws, policies and regulations of the political and economic environment;
(ii) perception by our potential customers that we are a regional company which hampers us from competing for large
and complex projects at the national level; and
(iii) limitation on our ability to implement the strategy to cluster projects in the states where we intend to conduct
business.
Further, any significant interruption to our operations directly or indirectly as a result of any severe weather or other
natural disasters could materially and severely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Similar adverse consequences could follow if war, or war-like situation were to prevail or terrorist attacks, etc. In
such instance, we may have to completely halt our operations which may severely impact our business operations.
Any such disruption for any reason could result in significant increase of costs and delays in execution of orders.
Factors such as competition, culture, regulatory regimes, business practices and customs, industry needs,
transportation, in other markets where we may expand our operations may differ from those in such regions, and our
experience in these regions may not be applicable to other markets. In addition, as we enter new markets and
geographical areas, we are likely to compete not only with national players, but also local players who might have an
established local presence, are more familiar with local regulations, business practices and industry needs, have
stronger relationships with local distributors, dealers, relevant government authorities, suppliers or are in a stronger
financial position than us, all of which may give them a competitive advantage over us. Our inability to expand into
areas outside our present geographical regions may adversely affect our business prospects, financial conditions and
results of operations. While our management believes that our Company has requisite expertise and vision to grow
and mark its presence in other markets going forward, investors should consider our business and prospects in light
of the risks, losses and challenges that we may face and should not rely on our results of operations for any prior
periods as an indication of our future performance. While such instances have not materially occurred in the past,
however future occurrence of any such instances could impact our earnings, financial condition and results of
operation.
10. We may face several risks associated with the proposed expansion of our manufacturing unit, which could
hamper our growth, prospects, cash flows and business and financial condition.
We intend to utilize a portion of the Net Proceeds of this Offer towards upgradation of our existing manufacturing
unit, to enhance the quality of our products and increase the production capacity of our manufacturing unit. We also
intend to reduce our electricity costs and make our operations sustainable by installing roof top solar panels. These
will contribute immensely towards our business operations and market position. For further details, please refer to the
chapter titled “Object of the Offer” at page 96 of this Prospectus.
During the process of expansion of our manufacturing unit, we may face several difficulties such as cost overruns or
delays for various reasons, including, but not limited to, our financial condition, changes in business strategy and
external factors such as market conditions, competitive environment and interest or exchange rate fluctuations,
changes in design and configuration, increase in input costs of construction materials and labour costs, incremental
preoperative expenses, taxes and duties, start-up costs, interest and finance charges, working capital margin,
environment and ecology costs and other external factors which may not be within the control of our management.
Any delay in expansion of our manufacturing unit could lead to revenue loss for our Company. Further, our expansion
plan may be subject to delays and other risks, which may be caused due to certain other unforeseen events, such as
unforeseen engineering or technical problems, disputes with workers, unanticipated cost increases or changes in scope
and delays in obtaining certain property rights and government approvals and consents. While we may seek to
minimize the risks from any unanticipated events, it cannot be assured that all potential delays could be mitigated and
that we will be able to prevent any cost and time over-runs and any loss of profits resulting from such delays, shortfalls
and disruptions.
37Further, the budgeted cost may prove insufficient to meet the requirements of the proposed capital expenditure due
to, among other things, cost escalation, which could drain our internal cash flows or compel us to raise additional
capital, which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. We cannot assure that we will be able to complete
the aforementioned expansion of our manufacturing unit in accordance with the proposed schedule of implementation
and any delay in setting up such plants in a timely manner, or at all, could have an adverse impact on our growth,
prospects, cash flows and business and financial condition.
11. There have been instances of delays in payment of statutory dues, i.e. TDS by the Company. In case of any
delay in payment of statutory due in future by our Company, the Regulatory Authorities may impose monetary
penalties on us or take certain punitive actions against our Company in relation to the same which may have
adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In the past, there have been certain instances of delays in payment of statutory dues, i.e. TDS, by the Company. The
details of the delay caused in payment of statutory dues have been provided below:

The delays in TDS payment has occurred due to delay in reconciliation of accounts with customers, delay in bill
settlement. Also, sometimes these delays were also due to administrative and technical issues on the portal during
these periods.
Our Company has already made provisions in the financials of the Company for such delay payments. Our Company
has implemented structural modifications by appointing a Chief Financial Officer, Pankaj Neema, to improve its
financial and operational management. Further, our Company has also appointed Sunil Mishra, as its Operations Head
to specifically address and prevent any delays in the statutory payments, thereby ensuring compliance with financial
obligations. Additionally, we have enhanced accounting processes by implementing daily updates of financial
transactions to ensure availability of an accurate and up-to-date financial data, facilitating timely processing of
statutory payments and reducing risk of delay in payments. It cannot be assured, that there will not be such instances
in the future or our Company will not commit any further delays or defaults in relation to payment of statutory dues.
The happening of such event may cause imposition of fine / penalty which may have adverse effect on the results of
our operations and financial position.
3812. Our Company proposes to utilize part of the Net Proceeds for repayment or pre-payment, in full or in part, of
all or certain secured borrowings availed by our Company and accordingly, the utilization of that portion of
the Net Proceeds will not result in creation of any tangible assets.
Our Company intends to utilise a part of the Net Proceeds for repayment or pre-payment, in full or in part, of all or
certain secured borrowings availed by our Company. The details of the loans identified to be repaid or prepaid using
the Net Proceeds have been disclosed in the section titled “Objects of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus. While
we believe that utilization of Net Proceeds for repayment of secured loans would help us to reduce our cost of debt
and enable the utilization of our funds for further investment in business growth and expansion, the pre-payment of
loans will not result in the creation of any tangible assets for our Company.
13. There have been instances of delays in filings of certain forms which were required to be filed as per the
reporting requirements under the Companies Act, 2013 to ROC.

15. Our Company requires significant amount of working capital for a continuing growth. Our inability to meet our
working capital requirements may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business requires a significant amount of working capital. As per our settled business terms, we require our
customers to pay the full amount of the consideration only after they receive the delivery of the order, as a result,
significant amounts of our working capital are often required to finance the purchase of raw material and execution
of manufacturing processes before payment is received from our customers. Further, we are also required to meet the
increasing demand and for achieving the same, adequate stocks have to be maintained which requires sufficient
working capital. The FMCG industry all over the world is expecting an increase in demand on account of various
factors such as, population growth, urbanization, rising disposable incomes, technological advancements, and
changing consumer preferences. Variation in demand in the FMCG industry, which would directly increase the
demand of our products due to their usage as a raw material. In the event, we are unable to source the required amount
of working capital for addressing such increased demand of our products, we might not be able to efficiently satisfy
the demand of our customers. Even if we are able to source the required amount of funds, we cannot assure you that
such funds would be sufficient to meet our cost estimates and that any increase in the expenses will not affect the
price of our products.

requirements that adversely affected our results of operations. Any delay in processing our payments by our customers
may increase our working capital requirement. Further, if a customer defaults in making payments for a product on
which we have devoted significant resources, it could affect our profitability and liquidity and decrease the capital
reserves that are otherwise available for other uses. We may file a claim for compensation of the loss that we incurred
pursuant to such defaults but settlement of disputes generally takes time and financial and other resources, and the
outcome is often uncertain. In general, we take provisions for bad debts, including those arising from such defaults
based primarily on ageing and other factors such as special circumstances relating to special customers. There can be
no assurance that such payments will be remitted by our clients to us on a timely basis or that we will be able to
effectively manage the level of bad debt arising from defaults. We may also have large cash outflows, including
among others, losses resulting from environmental liabilities, litigation costs, adverse political conditions, foreign
exchange risks and liability claims.
All of these factors may result, in increase in the amounts of receivables and short-term borrowings. If we decide to
raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest and debt repayment obligations will increase, and
could have a significant effect on our profitability and cash flows and we may be subject to additional covenants,
which could limit our ability to access cash flows from operations. Any issuance of equity, on the other hand, could
result in a dilution of your shareholding. Accordingly, continued increases in our working capital requirements may
have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. While, such instances have not occurred
in the past, however occurrence of such instances in the future may have an adverse effect on our financial condition
and results of operations.
16. If our product development efforts do not succeed, we may not be able to improve our existing products and/or
introduce new products, which could adversely affect our results of operations, growth and prospects. Further,
if we are unable to anticipate and respond to changes in the market trends and changing customer preferences
in a timely and effective manner, or if we fail to maintain our reputation, brand value or increase the market
for our products, the demand for our products may decline.
In order to remain competitive, we are required to review the performance of our existing products and the
manufacturing process and take necessary actions to improve taste, applications and variety of our existing products
and new potential products, in compliance with applicable regulatory standards. We intend to utilise a portion of the
Net Proceeds towards upgradation of our existing Unit, to manufacture additional products such as onion flakes,
dehydrated beetroot and dehydrated papaya. This will enable our Company to cater to large number of customers in
different geographies. Our investments towards product development could result in higher costs without a
corresponding increase in revenues. However, we cannot assure you that the product development initiatives taken
by our Company would succeed or result in an improvement in either our existing products or manufacturing process
which may affect our ability to compete with our competitors and have an adverse effect on our operations. Further,
our product development initiatives with respect to developing new uses for existing products or new products may
not result in the development of cost-effective or economically viable solutions, thereby affecting our operations,
growth and prospects.
If we are unable to gauge the changing tastes and preference of end use customers or changing trends in the industry
and are unable to upgrade our product portfolio in line with the same it may have an adverse effect on our business
operations. Our products have varied applications and are majorly used in fast food, such as cup noodles, ready to eat
noodles, pasta, soup, etc. Since our products form a key raw material for manufacturing the end us products of our
customers, we are expected to be aware of the changing tastes, preferences and regulatory requirements. Therefore,
results of our operations are dependent on our ability to anticipate, gauge and respond to such changes and devise
new products or modify our existing products in lines with the changes in market trends as well as customer demands
and preferences. If we are unable to respond to the changes or upgrade our products periodically as per the prevalent
market trends, or if we are unable to adapt to such changes by launching new products as per the demand, we may
significantly lose our market position and existing customer base which may adversely affect our results of operations
and financial condition.
4217. Our Company is yet to place orders for the plant and machinery and roof top solar equipment for the proposed
expansion of our manufacturing unit. Any delay in placing orders or procurement of such plant and machinery
may delay the schedule of implementation and possibly increase the cost of commissioning the manufacturing
unit.
Our Company has received third party quotations for the plant and machinery and roof top solar equipment required
to be installed in the proposed facility in our manufacturing unit, for details please refer to the chapter titled “Objects
of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus. Although, we have identified the type of plant and machinery and roof
top solar equipment to be purchased for the existing facility, we are yet to place order for 100% of the plant and
machinery and roof top solar equipment. The cost of the machineries and roof top solar equipment is based on the
quotations received from suppliers and such quotations are subject to change due to various factors such as, change
in supplier of equipment, change in the government regulation and policies, change in management’s view of
desirability of the current plans, possible cost overruns, etc. Since, we have not yet placed orders for 100% of our
plant and machinery and roof top solar equipment we cannot assure that we will be able to procure the same in a
timely manner and at the same price at which the quotations have been received. Delay in procurement of the same
can cause time and cost overrun in the implementation of our proposed expansion of the manufacturing unit and can
also compel us to buy such machineries at a higher price, thus causing the budgeted cost to vary. Further, some of the
machinery is being procured from China, therefore we are dependent upon smooth trade relations between India and
China. In view of the ongoing clashes between both the countries, if any of the countries decide to restrict or all
together halt the trade, our expansion plans may be adversely impacted. We may have to arrange for alternative
machineries or suppliers, which may be time taking or cause delay in completion of expansion of our manufacturing
unit. As a result our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely
affected.
18. The cost estimates for the proposed expansion of our manufacturing unit have been derived from internal
estimates of our management and may not be accurate.
The anticipated cost of the proposed expansion of our manufacturing unit will be ₹ 748.66 Lakhs. For ascertaining
this cost, reliance has been placed on the estimates, budgets and numerous assumptions made by our management
and any bank or financial institution has not appraised the same. The actual costs of expansion of our manufacturing
unit may exceed such budgeted amounts due to a variety of factors such as construction delays, escalation cost of raw
material, interest rates, labour costs, regulatory and environmental factors, weather conditions and our financing
needs. Our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity would be materially and adversely affected if our
expansion costs materially exceed such budgeted amounts. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of
operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. For further details of the scheduled operational
dates of our proposed unit, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus.
19. Our products contribute to the fast moving consumer goods industry, which has experience disruption in the
past, on account of health concerns and improper handling of food materials. Any such disruption may directly
impact our business, results of operations and financial conditions.
We are susceptible to risks relating to decline in revenue from operations, due to disruption in sales of final products
of our customers. For instance, in June 2015, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) had banned
Maggi noodles, forcing Nestle India to stop production and withdraw the product from the market. The ban was due
to concerns about lead levels in the product, which were found to exceed legal standards. Occurrence of such events
with any of our customers, leading to halting of their operations or temporary disruption in sales, could adversely
impact our business and financial condition.
Further, the FMCG industry as a whole faces several health-related concerns, on account of addition of common
ingredients like sugar, fat, and salt, which are linked to obesity and other health issues. According to the WHO, a
specialized agency of the UN, FMCG companies are worsening the worldwide incidence of heart disease, cancer, and
diabetes. In the event, the Government of India or of countries where our customers operate, restrict manufacturing,
export or import of FMCG products, or levy heavy import or export duties, our expenditure and customer base may
be impacted. While, our products do not cause any health concerns and therefore their applications can be diversified
in various other applications such as Oats, Upma, Poha, etc. We may require team to diversify our customer base and
increase applications of our products, however we believe that we shall be able to address the aforementioned events,
to reduce the impact on our business, results of operations and financial conditions. While, the aforementioned events
have not occurred in the past, occurrence of any such events may impact our results of operations, cash flows and
profits.
4320. Technological advancement may lead to more cost-effective technologies that can be performed at lower costs
or at better quality, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
Advances in technology may lead to the development of more cost-effective technologies. Currently we use hot air
technology for dehydration vegetables. Our competitors may adopt new technology which may lead to better quality
products at cost effective basis which may result in increase in their market share. Our revenues may be adversely
affected including our future business prospects, financial condition, results of operation and our future cash flows.
Our ability to anticipate changes in technology and to develop and introduce new and enhanced products successfully
on a timely basis will be a significant factor in our ability to grow and to remain competitive. We cannot assure you
that we will be able to achieve the technological advances that may be necessary for us to remain competitive or that
certain of our products will not become obsolete. We are also subject to the risks generally associated with new
product introductions and applications, including lack of market acceptance and delays in product development. Any
failure on our part to forecast and / or meet the changing demands will have an adverse effect on our business,
profitability and growth prospects.
21. Any manufacturing or quality control problems may damage our reputation for quality products and expose
us to litigation or other liabilities, which could adversely affect our financial results.
Food Processing and dehydration are subject to significant regulatory scrutiny. We own and operate one
manufacturing facility in Madhya Pradesh and must register, and manufacture products in these facilities in
accordance with applicable regulatory regime in India and the countries in which we export our products.
Furthermore, we are liable for the quality of our products for the entire duration of the shelf life of the product. After
our products reach the market after certain developments and additions by our primary customers which could
adversely affect demand for our products, including any contamination of our products by intermediaries, re-review
of products that are already marketed, new scientific information, greater scrutiny in advertising and promotion, the
discovery of previously unknown side effects or the recall or loss of approval of products that we manufacture, market
or sell. There has been an instance in the past, wherein one of our clients from United States of America had rejected
an entire export shipment of dehydrated carrot, on account of contamination of the packaging with feces of birds,
during transit. On reporting of such an event, our Company advised its client to dispose off the entire shipment, as a
result of which it incurred a loss of ₹ 26.46 lakhs. Despite the above, the client chose not to initiate any legal action
against our Company. There can be no assurance that there will not be any regulatory actions, recalls of any of our
products or investigations of our manufacturing facilities or our processes in the future. We also face the risk of loss
resulting from, and the adverse publicity associated with, manufacturing or quality problems. Such adverse publicity
harms the brand image of our Company and products. We may be subject to claims resulting from manufacturing
defects or negligence in storage and handling of our products. The existence, or even threat, of a major product liability
claim could also damage our reputation and affect consumers’ views of our other products, thereby adversely affecting
our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any loss of our reputation or brand image, for whatsoever
reason may lead to a loss of existing business contracts and adversely affect our ability to enter into additional business
contracts in the future.
22. We operate in a competitive business environment and our inability to compete effectively may adversely affect
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The dehydrated product industry in India is competitive with both organized and unorganized markets. However, we
are required to compete both in the domestic and international markets. We may be unable to compete with the
prices and products offered by our competitors (local as well as international). We may have to compete with
new players in India and abroad who enter the market and are able to offer competing products. Our competitors may
have access to greater financial, manufacturing, research and development, design, marketing, distribution and
other resources and more experience in obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals. Increasing competition may
result in pricing pressures and decreasing profit margins or loss of market share or failure to improve our market
position, any of which could substantially harm our business and results of operations. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to compete with our existing as well as future competitors as well as the products prices and
payment terms offered by them. In addition, our customers may enter into contract manufacturing arrangements
with third parties, for products that they are presently purchasing from us. Our failure to successfully face existing
and future competition may have an adverse impact on our business, growth and development.
Further, some of our competitors may be larger than we are and may have greater resources, market presence,
geographic reach and the ability to products with better brand recognition than ours. Some of our competitors may be
44able to procure raw materials at lower costs than us, and consequently be able to sell their products at lower prices.
As a result, our competitors may be able to withstand industry downturns better than us or provide customers with
products at more competitive prices. Some of our international competitors may be able to capitalize on their overseas
experience to compete in the Indian market. Consequently, we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete
successfully in the future against our existing or potential competitors or that our business and results of operations
will not be adversely affected by increased competition. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our
existing market share. Our competitors may significantly increase their marketing expenses to promote their brands
and products, which may require us to similarly increase our advertising and marketing expenses and engage in
effective pricing strategies, which we may not be able to pass on to our customers which in turn may have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For further details, please see “Industry
Overview” on page 121 of this Prospectus.
23. Any delays and/or defaults in customer payments could result in increase of working capital investment and/or
reduction of our Company’s profits, thereby affecting our operation and financial condition.
We are exposed to payment delays and/or defaults by our customers. Our financial position and financial performance
are dependent on the creditworthiness of our customers. Any delays in payments may require our Company to make
a working capital investment. We cannot assure you that payments from all or any of our customers will be received
in a timely manner or to that extent will be received at all. If a customer defaults in making its payments on an order
on which our Company has devoted significant resources, or if an order in which our Company has invested significant
resources is delayed, cancelled or does not proceed to completion, it could have a material adverse effect on our
Company’s results of operations and financial condition. While there have been no instances of delays and/or defaults
in receipt of payments from our customers that resulted in an increase in working capital required, however we cannot
assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. There is no guarantee on the timeliness of all or any part
of our customers’ payments and whether they will be able to fulfill their obligations, which may arise from their
financial difficulties, deterioration in their business performance, or a downturn in the global economy. If such events
or circumstances occur, our financial performance and our operating cash flows may be adversely affected.
24. Our inability to effectively manage our growth or to successfully implement our business plan and growth
strategy could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We have experienced considerable growth over the past three years and we have expanded our operations and product
portfolio. We cannot assure you that our growth strategies will continue to be successful or that we will be able to
continue to expand further, or at the same rate.
Our inability to execute our growth strategies in a timely manner or within budget estimates or our inability to meet
the expectations of our customers and other stakeholders, could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition. Our future prospects will depend on our ability to grow our business and
operations. The development of such future business could be affected by many factors, including general, political
and economic conditions in India, government policies or strategies in respect of specific industries, prevailing interest
rates and price of equipment and raw materials. Further, in order to manage our growth effectively, we must
implement, upgrade and improve our operational systems, procedures and internal controls on a timely basis. If we
fail to implement these systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis, or if there are weaknesses in our internal
controls that would result in inconsistent internal standard operating procedures, we may not be able to meet our
customers’ needs, hire and retain new employees or operate our business effectively. Failure to manage growth
effectively could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
25. Our Company requires significant amount of working capital for a continuing growth. Our inability to meet
our working capital requirements may adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business requires a significant amount of working capital. As per our settled business terms, we require our
customers to pay the full amount of the consideration only after they receive the delivery of the order, as a result,
significant amounts of our working capital are often required to finance the purchase of raw material and execution
of manufacturing processes before payment is received from our customers. Further, we are also required to meet the
increasing demand and for achieving the same, adequate stocks have to be maintained which requires sufficient
working capital. The FMCG industry all over the world is expecting an increase in demand on account of various
factors such as, population growth, urbanization, rising disposable incomes, technological advancements, and
changing consumer preferences. Variation in demand in the FMCG industry, which would directly increase the
demand of our products due to their usage as a raw material. In the event, we are unable to source the required amount
of working capital for addressing such increased demand of our products, we might not be able to efficiently satisfy
45the demand of our customers. Even if we are able to source the required amount of funds, we cannot assure you that
such funds would be sufficient to meet our cost estimates and that any increase in the expenses will not affect the
price of our products.
The Company’s working capital requirements for the year ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 and funding of the
same are as set out in the table below:
(₹ In lakhs)

Further, one of the objects of this Offer include funding of working capital requirements of our Company, which is
based on management estimates and certain assumptions. For more information in relation to such management
estimates and assumptions, please see “Objects of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus. Our working capital
requirements may be subject to change due to factors beyond our control including force majeure conditions, an
increase in defaults by our customers, non-availability of funding from banks or financial institutions. Accordingly,
such working capital requirements may not be indicative of the actual requirements of our Company in the future and
investors are advised to not place undue reliance on such estimates of future working capital requirements.
Any delay in processing our payments by our customers may increase our working capital requirement. Further, if a
customer defaults in making payments for a product on which we have devoted significant resources, it could affect
our profitability and liquidity and decrease the capital reserves that are otherwise available for other uses. We may
file a claim for compensation of the loss that we incurred pursuant to such defaults but settlement of disputes generally
takes time and financial and other resources, and the outcome is often uncertain. In general, we take provisions for
bad debts, including those arising from such defaults based primarily on ageing and other factors such as special
circumstances relating to special customers. There can be no assurance that such payments will be remitted by our
clients to us on a timely basis or that we will be able to effectively manage the level of bad debt arising from defaults.
We may also have large cash outflows, including among others, losses resulting from environmental liabilities,
litigation costs, adverse political conditions, foreign exchange risks and liability claims.
All of these factors may result, in increase in the amounts of receivables and short-term borrowings. If we decide to
raise additional funds through the incurrence of debt, our interest and debt repayment obligations will increase, and
could have a significant effect on our profitability and cash flows and we may be subject to additional covenants,
which could limit our ability to access cash flows from operations. Any issuance of equity, on the other hand, could
result in a dilution of your shareholding. Accordingly, continued increases in our working capital requirements may
have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
26. We are dependent on information technology systems in carrying out our business activities and it forms a part
of our business. Further, if we are unable to adapt to technological changes and successfully implement new
technologies or if we face failure of our information technology systems, we may not be able to compete
effectively which may result in higher costs and would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are dependent on information technology system in connection with carrying out our business activities and such
systems form a part of our business. Any failure of our information technology systems could result in business
46interruptions, including the loss of our customers, loss of reputation and weakening of our competitive position, and
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, our
information technology systems, specifically our software, TallyPrime may be vulnerable to computer viruses, piracy,
hacking or similar disruptive problems. Computer viruses or problems caused by third parties could lead to disruptions
in our business activities. Fixing such problems caused by computer viruses or security breaches may require
interruptions, delays or temporary suspension of our business activities, which could adversely affect our operations.
Breaches of our information technology systems may result in unauthorized access to confidential information of our
Company. Such breaches of our information technology systems may require us to incur further expenditure to put in
place advanced security systems to prevent any unauthorised access to our networks. While, the aforementioned
events have not occurred in the past, however, any breach of our systems or software leads to the leaking of our trade
secrets or any inventive techniques devised by our Company, it might lead to loss of our originality in the market and
increase the chance of our products being substituted by the products of our competitors.
Our future success depends in part of our ability to respond to technological advancements and emerging standards
and practices on a cost-effective and a timely basis. Our failure to successfully adopt such technologies in a cost-
effective manner could increase our costs thereby compelling us to bid at lower margins which might lead to loss of
bidding opportunities vis-à-vis such competitors. Additionally, the government authorities may require adherence
with certain technologies and we cannot assure you that we would be able to implement such technologies in a timely
manner or at all. The cost of upgrading or implementing new technologies or upgrading our existing equipment or
expanding our capacity could be significant, less cost effective and therefore could negatively impact our profitability,
results of operations, financial condition as well as our future prospects. While, the aforementioned events have not
occurred in the past, however, occurrence of any such events may have an adverse impact on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
27. Under-utilization of our manufacturing capacities may have an adverse effect on our business, future prospects
and future financial performance.
The success of any capacity investment and expected return on investment on capital expenditure is subject to, among
other factors, the ability to procure requisite regulatory approvals in a timely manner; recruit and ensure satisfactory
performance of personnel to further grow our business; and the ability to absorb additional infrastructure costs and
develop new expertise. 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 and 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. Set
forth below is the detail of the installed and utilized capacity of our manufacturing unit for the last three years.

For further information, see “Our Business - Capacity Installed and Capacity Utilization” on page 154 of this
Prospectus. These capacity utilization details are not indicative of future capacity utilization rates, which are
dependent on various factors, including demand for our products, availability of raw materials, our ability to manage
our inventory and improve operational efficiency.
47Our Company has experienced a decline in capacity utilisation of carrot, it’s by products and cabbage as well as its
by-products, on account of reduction in availability of fresh vegetables in the market. Under-utilization of our
manufacturing 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. Our capacity utilization levels
are dependent on our ability to carry out uninterrupted operations at our manufacturing unit, the availability of raw
materials, industry/ market conditions, as well as by the product requirements of, and procurement practice followed
by us. In the event we face prolonged disruptions at our manufacturing unit including due to interruptions in the
supply of water, electricity or as a result of labour unrest, or are unable to procure sufficient raw materials, we would
not be able to achieve full capacity utilization of our current manufacturing unit, resulting in operational inefficiencies
which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
28. We may be unable to grow our business in additional geographic regions or international markets, which may
adversely affect our business prospects and results of operations.
Our Company seeks to grow its market reach domestically to explore untapped markets and segments; however, we
cannot assure you that we will be able to grow our business as planned. Infrastructure and logistical challenges in
addition to the advancement of research and development in the FMCG industry, changing customers’ taste and
preferences may prevent us from expanding our presence or increasing the penetration of our products. Further,
customers may be price conscious and we may be unable to compete effectively with the products of our competitors.
If we are unable to grow our business in these new markets effectively, our business prospects, results of operations
and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Further, expansion into new international markets is important to our long-term prospects. Competing successfully in
international markets requires additional management attention and resources to tailor our services to the unique
aspects of each new country. We may face various risks, including legal and regulatory restrictions, increased
advertising and brand building expenditure, challenges caused by distance, language and cultural differences, in
addition to our limited experience with such markets and currency exchange rate fluctuations. International markets
require a very high standard of quality of products and our Company may not be able to match the international
standards thereby failing to make a brand presence in the international markets. If we are unable to make long-lasting
relations with the major customers in the overseas market or if we are unable to justify the quality of our products to
them, it may make it difficult for us to enter into such markets. These and other risks, which we do not foresee at
present, could adversely affect any international expansion or growth, which could have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
29. If we are not able to obtain, renew or maintain our statutory and regulatory licenses, registrations and
approvals required to operate our business, it may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
We require certain statutory and regulatory licenses, registrations and approvals to operate our business some of which
are granted for a fixed period of time and need to be renewed from time to time. Further, in future, we may also be
required to obtain new licenses, registrations and approvals for any proposed operations, including any expansion of
existing operations. There can be no assurance that the relevant authorities will renew such licenses, registrations and
approvals in a timely manner or at all. There have been instances in the past, wherein licenses and approvals obtained
by our Company, we obtained with a delay and therefore our Company operated its manufacturing unit without such
licenses and approvals. Further, these licenses, registrations and approvals are subject to several conditions, and our
Company cannot assure that it shall be able to continuously meet such conditions or be able to prove compliance with
such conditions to statutory authorities, and this may lead to cancellation, revocation or suspension of relevant licenses,
approvals and registrations. We may be subject to penalties or suffer a disruption in our business activities, any of
which could adversely affect our results of operations. Further, our Company will be responsible for bearing any and
all liabilities arising out of this non-compliance. If we are unable to renew, maintain or obtain the required registrations
or approvals, it may result in the interruption of our operations and may have a material adverse effect on our revenues
and operations. Failure by our Company to renew, maintain or obtain the required licenses or approvals, or
cancellation, suspension, or revocation of any of the licenses, approvals and registrations may result in the interruption
of our Company’s operations and may have a material adverse effect on our business. For further details on the licenses
obtained by our Company and licenses for which renewal applications have been made, kindly refer the chapter titled
“Government and Other Approvals” beginning on page 249 of this Prospectus.
30. We do not own any trade names or trademarks. We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property.
Furthermore, we may be subject to claims alleging breach of third party intellectual property rights. Any litigation
related to our intellectual property could be time consuming and costly.
48We do not own any copyright, trademark, trade name or other intellectual property right in or to the names or logos,
including the “ ” logo and the “Sawaliya Food” or “Sawaliya” trade names or trademarks with the Trade Mark
Registry. We do not enjoy the statutory projections accorded to a registered trademark include sentence on application
to register new logo. There can be no assurance that we will be able to register the trademark and the logo or that third
parties will not infringe on our intellectual property, causing damage to our business prospects, reputation and
goodwill. We may need to litigate in order to determine the validity of such claims and the scope of the proprietary
rights of others. While the aforementioned instances have not occurred in the past, occurrence of any such litigation
could be time consuming and costly and the outcome cannot be guaranteed. We may not be able to detect any
unauthorized use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce or protect its intellectual property.
31. We are dependent on third party transportation providers for delivery of raw materials to us from our suppliers
and delivery of our finished products to our customers. We have not entered into any formal contracts with our
transport providers and any failure on part of such service providers to meet their obligations could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operation.
To ensure smooth functioning of our manufacturing operations, we need to maintain continuous supply and
transportation of the raw materials required from the supplier to our manufacturing unit and transportation of our
finished products from our unit to our customers, which may be subject to various uncertainties and risks. We are
significantly dependent on third party transportation providers for the delivery of raw materials to us and delivery of
our finished products to our customers. Uncertainties and risks such as transportation strikes or delay in supply of raw
materials and products could have an adverse effect on our supplies and deliveries to and from our customers and
suppliers. Additionally, raw materials and products may be lost or damaged in transit for various reasons including
occurrence of accidents or natural disasters. While, the aforementioned events have not occurred in the past, however
occurrence of instances of failure to maintain a continuous supply of raw materials or to deliver our products to our
distribution intermediaries in a timely, efficient and reliable manner could adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Further, we have not entered into any long term agreements with our transporters for any of our manufacturing unit
and the costs of transportation are generally based on mutual terms and the prevailing market price. In the absence of
such agreements, we cannot assure that the transport agencies would fulfill their obligations or would not commit a
breach of the understanding with us. In the event that the finished goods or raw materials suffer damage or are lost
during transit, we may not able to prosecute the agencies due to lack of formal agreements. Further, the transport
agencies are not contractually bound to deal with us exclusively, we may face the risk of our competitors offering
better terms or prices, which may cause them to cater to our competitors alongside us or on a priority basis, which
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. While, the aforementioned events
have not occurred in the past, however, occurrence of any such events may have an adverse impact on our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
32. If we are unable to identify customer demand accurately and maintain an optimal level of inventory
proportionately, our business, results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
The success of our business depends upon our ability to anticipate and forecast customer demand and trends. Any
error in such identification could result in either surplus stock, which we may not be able to sell in a timely manner,
or no stock at all, or under stocking, which will affect our ability to meet customer demand. We plan our inventory
and estimate our sales based on the forecast, demand and requirements for our products based on past data. An optimal
level of inventory is important to our business as it allows us to respond to customer demand effectively by readily
making our products available to our customers. Ensuring continuous availability of our products requires prompt
turnaround time and a high level of coordination across raw material procurement, manufacturers, suppliers,
warehouse management and departmental coordination. While we aim to avoid under-stocking and over-stocking,
our estimates and forecasts may not always be accurate and there have been no instances in the past that would suggest
an inability of our Company to identify customer demand accurately and maintain an optimal level of inventory
proportionately, however occurrence of any such events may impact our business, results of operations and financial
condition. If we fail to accurately forecast customer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage
of products available for sale. If we over-stock inventory, our capital requirements may increase and we may incur
additional financing costs. Any unsold inventory would have to be sold at a discount, leading to losses. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to sell surplus stock in a timely manner, or at all, which in turn may adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we under-stock inventory, our ability to meet customer
demand may be adversely affected.
4933. We have significant power requirements for continuous running of our manufacturing unit. Any disruption to our
operations on account of interruption in power supply or any irregular or significant hike in power tariffs may
have an effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our manufacturing unit has significant electricity requirements and any interruption in the supply of power may
temporarily disrupt our operations. All our manufacturing unit receive power supply from local power authorities.
Since, we have a significant power consumption, any unexpected or unforeseen increase in the tariff rates can increase
the operating cost of our manufacturing unit and thereby cause an increase in the production cost which we may not
be able to pass on to our customers. The details of electricity expenses and total expenses of our Company are as
follows:
Particulars Fiscal
2025 2024 2023
Expense (₹ in % of Expense (₹ in % of Expense (₹ % of
lakhs) expense lakhs) expense in lakhs) expense
Electricity 81.56 3.26 71.70 3.73 53.00 3.64
Expenses
Total Expense 2,501.10 1,923.65 1,457.86
There are limited number of electricity providers in the areas from where we operate due to which in case of a price
hike, we may not be able to find a cost-effective substitute, which may negatively affect our business, financial
condition, cash flows and results of operations. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Our Business”
on page 139 of this Prospectus.
34. Our Promoters, Directors, Senior Management and Key Managerial Personnel have interests in our Company
other than reimbursement of expenses incurred or normal remuneration or benefits.
Our Promoters, Directors, Senior Management and Key Managerial Personnel, may be deemed to be interested in our
Company, in addition to the regular remuneration or benefits, reimbursements of expenses, Equity Shares held by
them or their relatives, their dividend or bonus entitlement, benefits arising from their directorship in our Company.
Our Promoters, Director, Senior Management and Key Managerial Personnel may also be interested to the extent of
any transaction entered into by our Company with any other company or firm in which they are directors or partners.
For further details please refer to the paragraphs titled ― “Interest of our Directors” in the chapter titled ― “Our
Management”, the paragraphs titled ― “Interest of our Promoters and Other Interests and Disclosures” in the chapter
titled ― “Our Promoters and Promoter Group”, “Financial Indebtedness” and “Restated Financial Information” on
pages 179, 188, 237 and 193, respectively of this Prospectus.
There can be no assurance that our Promoters, Directors, Senior Management and Key Managerial Personnel will
exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. Our Promoters and members of
our Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant control over our Company, including being able to control
the composition of our Board of Directors and determine decisions requiring simple or special majority voting of
shareholders, and our other shareholders may be unable to affect the outcome of such voting. Our Directors and our
Key Management Personnel may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with the best
interests of our Company or that of minority shareholders.
35. One of our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group have extended personal guarantees with respect to
loan facilities availed by our Company. Further, some of the members of our Promoter Group have extended
personal properties as collateral for securing the facilities availed by our Company. Revocation of any or all of
these personal guarantees or withdrawal of such properties may adversely affect our business operations and
financial condition.
Our Promoter, Raghav Somani and member of our Promoter Group namely, Madhav Somani, Krishnakant Somani
and Hansa Somani have extended personal guarantees in favour of State Bank of India with respect to the loan
facilities availed by our Company. Further, members of our Promoter Group, Shantilal Balmukund Somani HUF,
Hansa Somani and Krishnakant Somani have extended their personal properties as collateral for securing the loans
availed by our Company. In the event any of these guarantees are revoked, our lenders may require us to furnish
alternate guarantees or an additional security or may demand a repayment of the outstanding amounts under the said
facilities sanctioned or may even terminate the facilities sanctioned to us. There can be no assurance that our Company
will be able to arrange such alternative guarantees in a timely manner or at all. In the event if the personal property
50of our Promoter Group is withdrawn, our lenders may require us to furnish alternate properties or may demand a
repayment of the outstanding amounts under the said facilities sanctioned or may even terminate the facilities
sanctioned to us. There can be no assurance that our Company will be able to arrange such alternative properties in a
timely manner or at all. If the properties are withdrawn, the ability of our Company to continue its business operations
could be adversely affected. If our lenders enforce these restrictive covenants or exercise their options under the
relevant debt financing agreements, our operations and use of assets may be significantly hampered and lenders may
demand the payment of the entire outstanding amount and this in turn may also affect our further borrowing abilities
thereby adversely affecting our business and operations.
36. Our Promoters and members of the Promoter Group have significant control over the Company and have the
ability to direct our business and affairs; their interests may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.
Upon completion of this Offer, our Promoters and members of our Promoter Group will collectively hold 67.78% of
the Equity share capital of our Company. As a result, our Promoters will have the ability to exercise significant
influence over all matters requiring shareholders’ approval. Accordingly, our Promoters will continue to retain
significant control, including being able to control the composition of our Board of Directors, determine decisions
requiring simple or special majority voting of shareholders, undertaking sale of all or substantially all of our assets,
timing and distribution of dividends and termination of appointment of our officers, and our other shareholders may
be unable to affect the outcome of such voting. There can be no assurance that our Promoters will exercise their rights
as shareholders to the benefit and best interests of our Company. Further, such control could delay, defer or prevent
a change in control of our Company, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination
involving our Company, or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of our Company even if it is in our Company’s best interest. The interests of our Promoters could
conflict with the interests of our other equity shareholders, and our Promoters could make decisions that materially
and adversely affect your investment in the Equity Shares.
37. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares held by our Promoters could be lower than the Offer Price.
Our Promoters’ average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares in our Company may be lower than the Offer Price which
is proposed to be determined through a Book Building Process. The average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares for
the Promoters (also the Promoter Selling Shareholders) is as follows:
Name of the Promoters/ Average Cost of Acquisition (in ₹)
No. of shares held
Selling Shareholders
Raghav Somani 30,72,476 0.85
Priya Somani 30,72,462 0.27
*As certified by the Statutory Auditors, by way of their certificate dated July 25, 2025.
For further details regarding average cost of acquisition of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company and build-
up of Equity Shares by our Promoters in our Company, please refer to the chapter titled “Capital Structure” on page
84 of this Prospectus.
38. Our future fund requirements, in the form of further issue of capital or securities and/or loans taken by us, may
be prejudicial to the interest of the Shareholders depending upon the terms on which they are eventually raised.
We may require additional capital from time to time depending on our business needs. Any further issue of Equity
Shares or convertible securities would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders and such issuance may be
done on terms and conditions, which may not be favorable to the then existing Shareholders. If such funds are raised
in the form of loans or debt or preference shares, then it may substantially increase our fixed interest/dividend burden
and decrease our cash flows, thus adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.
39. We have in past entered into related party transactions and we may continue to do so in the future.
As of March 31, 2025, we have entered into several related party transactions with our Promoters, individuals and
entities forming a part of our promoter group relating to our operations. In addition, we have in the past also entered
into transactions with other related parties. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled ― “Restated Financial
Information” at page 193 of this Prospectus.
While we confirm that all our related party transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis and is in
compliance with the Companies Act, 2013 and other applicable laws, we cannot assure you that we may not have
51achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. There can be no
assurance that such transactions, individually or taken together, will not have an adverse effect on our business,
prospects, results of operations and financial condition, including because of potential conflicts of interest or
otherwise. In addition, our business and growth prospects may decline if we cannot benefit from our relationships
with them in the future.
40. Our agreements with lenders for financial arrangements contain restrictive covenants for certain activities and if
we are unable to get their approval, it might restrict our scope of activities and impede our growth plans.
We have entered into agreements for our borrowings with certain lenders. These borrowings include secured fund
based and non-fund based facilities. These agreements include restrictive covenants which mandate certain
restrictions in terms of our business operations such as change in capital structure, formulation of any scheme of
amalgamation or reconstruction, declaring dividends, further expansion of business, granting loans to directors,
repaying unsecured loans from third parties, undertake guarantee obligations on behalf of any other borrower, which
require our Company to obtain prior approval of the lenders for any of the above activities. We hereby confirm that
we have received no-objection certificates from our lenders from whom secured loans were availed, for the purpose
of undertaking this Offer. We cannot assure you that our lenders will provide us with these approvals in the future.
For details of these restrictive covenants, please refer to chapter titled ― “Financial Indebtedness” on page 237 of
this Prospectus.
Further, some of our financing arrangements include covenants to maintain our total outside liabilities and total net
worth up to a certain limit and certain other liquidity ratios. We cannot assure prospective investors that such
covenants will not hinder our business development and growth in the future. A default under one of these financing
agreements may also result in cross-defaults under other financing agreements and result in the outstanding amounts
under such financing agreements becoming due and payable immediately. Defaults under one or more of our
Company’s financing agreements may limit our flexibility in operating our business, which could have an adverse
effect on our cash flows, business, results of operations and financial condition.
It may be possible for a lender to assert that we have not complied with all applicable terms under our existing
financing documents. Further we cannot assure that we will have adequate funds at all times to repay these credit
facilities and may also be subject to demands for the payment of penal interest.
41. Our Company’s management will have flexibility in utilizing the Net Proceeds from the Offer and the deployment
of the net proceeds from the Offer is not subject to any monitoring by any independent agency.
Our Company intends to primarily use the Net Proceeds towards the objects as mentioned in “Objects of the Offer”
on page 96 of this 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 ₹ 5,000 lakhs. The Audit Committee of our Company shall be
monitoring utilisation of Net Proceeds, and the investors will be relying on the judgment of the Audit Committee
regarding the application of the Net Proceeds from the Offer. Our company may have to revise its management
estimates from time to time and consequently its requirements may change.
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. Our Company shall inform about material deviations in the utilization of
Offer proceeds to the stock exchange and shall also simultaneously make the material deviations / adverse comments
of the audit committee to public. Accordingly, prospective investors in the offer will need to rely upon our Audit
Committee’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.
42. Our Company has availed certain unsecured loans which are recallable in nature.
As on August 31, 2024, our Company has outstanding current unsecured loans which have been extended by our third
parties which may be recalled at any time. We cannot assure you that our lenders would not demand repayment of
unsecured loans extended to us. In the event, our lenders seek repayment of any these loans, our Company would
need to find alternative sources of financing, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
If we are unable to arrange for any such financing arrangements, we may not have adequate working capital to carry
out the operations or complete our ongoing operations. Therefore, any such demand may adversely affect our
52business, financial condition and results of operations. For further details, see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 237
of this Prospectus.
43. In addition to our existing indebtedness for our existing operations, we may incur further indebtedness during the
course of business. We cannot assure that we would be able to service our existing and/ or additional indebtedness.
As on August 31, 2024 our Company’s total fund based indebtedness is ₹ 1,405.35 lakhs. In addition to the
indebtedness for our existing operations, we may incur further indebtedness during the course of our business. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain further loans at favorable terms. Increased borrowings, if any, may
adversely affect our debt-equity ratio and our ability to borrow at competitive rates. In addition, we cannot assure you
that the budgeting of our working capital requirements for a particular year will be accurate. There may be situations
where we may under-budget our working capital requirements, which may lead to delays in arranging additional
working capital requirements, loss of reputation, levy of liquidated damages and can cause an adverse effect on our
cash flows.
Any failure to service our indebtedness or otherwise perform our obligations under our financing agreements entered
with our lenders or which may be entered into by our Company, could trigger cross default provisions, penalties,
acceleration of repayment of amounts due under such facilities which may cause an adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations. For details of our indebtedness, please refer to the chapter titled ―
“Financial Indebtedness” on page 237 of this Prospectus.
44. We have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the Objects of the Offer.
Further, we have not identified any alternate source of financing the ‘Objects of the Offer’. Any shortfall in raising
/ meeting the same could adversely affect our growth plans, operations and financial performance.
As on date, we have not made any alternate arrangements for meeting our capital requirements for the Objects of the
Offer. We meet our capital requirements through our bank finance, unsecured loans, owned funds and internal
accruals. Any shortfall in our net owned funds, internal accruals and our inability to raise debt in future would result
in us being unable to meet our capital requirements, which in turn will negatively affect our financial condition and
results of operations. Further, we have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay
on our part to raise money from this offer or any shortfall in the offer proceeds may delay the implementation schedule
and could adversely affect our growth plans. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Objects of the Offer”
beginning on page 96 of this Prospectus.
45. Our success largely depends upon the knowledge and experience of our Promoters, Directors and our Key
Managerial Personnel. Loss of any of our Directors and key managerial personnel or our ability to attract and
retain them could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.
The growth and success of our Company’s future significantly depends upon the experience of our Promoters and
continued services and the management skills of our Key Managerial Personnel and the guidance of our Promoters
and Directors for development of business strategies, monitoring its successful implementation and meeting future
challenges. We believe the expertise, experience and continued efforts of our Key Managerial Personnel and their
inputs are valuable to for the operations of our Company. Our future success and growth depend largely on our ability
to attract, motivate and retain the continued service of our highly skilled management personnel. Our Company has
never been faced with a challenge of high rate of attrition of our Key Management Personnel in the past, however,
any attrition of our experienced Key Managerial Personnel, would adversely impact our growth strategy. We cannot
assure you that we will be successful in recruiting and retaining a sufficient number of personnel with the requisite skills to
replace those Key Managerial Personnel who leave. In the event we are unable to motivate and retain our key managerial
personnel and thereby lose the services of our highly skilled Key Managerial Personnel may adversely affect the
operations, financial condition and profitability of our Company and thereby hampering and adversely affecting our
ability to expand our business. For further details on our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel, please refer to the
chapter titled ― “Our Management” on page 174 of this Prospectus.
46. Our inability to procure and/or maintain adequate insurance cover in connection with our business may adversely
affect our operations and profitability.
Our operations are subject to inherent risks and hazards which may adversely impact our profitability, such as
breakdown, malfunctions, sub-standard performance or failures of manufacturing equipment, fire, riots, third party
liability claims, loss-in-transit for our products, accidents and natural disasters. Details of our total insurance coverage

There are many events that could cause significant damages to our operations, or expose us to third-party liabilities,
whether or not known to us, for which we may not be insured or adequately insured, which in turn may expose us to
certain risks and liabilities. There can be no assurance that our insurance policies will be adequate to cover the losses
in respect of which the insurance had been availed. Further, there can be no assurance that any claim under the
insurance policies maintained by us will be honored fully, in part, or on time. If we were to incur a significant liability
for which we were not fully insured, it could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. While,
we have not incurred any significant liability in the past, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in
the future. Occurrence of any such instances may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
47. We have certain contingent liabilities and our financial condition and profitability may be adversely affected if any
of these contingent liabilities materialize.
As of March 31, 2025, our contingent liabilities and commitments (to the extent not provided for) as disclosed in the
notes to our Restated Financial Information aggregated to ₹ 1.35 lakhs. The details of our contingent liabilities are as
follows:
(₹ in lakhs)
Particulars As at As at As at
31 March 2025 31 March 2024 31 March 2023
TDS Demand 1.35 1.35 1.20
The TDS demand primarily arises from PAN discrepancies, late payments, and short deductions. Our Company is in
the process of filing an appeal against the raised TDS demand, and as such, it has been disclosed as a contingent
liability.
For further details of contingent liability, see the section titled ― “Financial Information” on page 193 of this
Prospectus. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent
liabilities in the future.
48. Our Company had negative cash flows in the past years, details of which are given below. Sustained negative cash
flow could impact our growth and business.
We have experienced negative cash flows in the past which have been set out below:
Fiscal
Particulars
2025 2024 2023
Net Cash from Operating Activities (431.26) -* -*
Net Cash from Investing Activities (343.20) -* (560.02)
Net Cash used in Financing Activities -* (183.82) -*
*Indicated positive cash flow.
The negative operating cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to an increased working capital
requirement driven by trade receivables and inventories. The spike observed from April to June 2024 in Fiscal 2025
can be attributed to the addition of non-institutional customers, who typically require longer credit periods.
Cash flow of a company is a key indicator to show the extent of cash generated from operations to meet its capital
expenditure, pay dividends, repay loans, and make new investments without raising finance from external resources.
Such negative cash flows lead to a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents. Any negative cash flow in future could
adversely affect our operations and financial conditions and the trading price of our Equity Shares. For further details,
56please refer “Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations” on pages 193 and 227, respectively.
49. We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations which could have a material and adverse effect on
our results of operations and financial conditions.
Our Company caters to both domestic & export markets. A portion of our revenue from operations is made up from
export sales; the realization for such export operations is in foreign currency. Changes in value of currencies with
respect to the Rupee may cause fluctuations in our operating results expressed in Rupees. The exchange rate between
the Rupee and other currencies is variable and may continue to fluctuate in future. Any adverse or unforeseen
fluctuations with respect to the unhedged exchange rate of any foreign currency for Indian Rupees may affect our
Company‘s results of operations.
50. There are outstanding litigations involving our Company which, if determined adversely, may affect our business
and financial condition.
As on the date of this Prospectus, our Company is involved in certain legal proceedings. These legal proceedings are
pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. The amounts claimed in these
proceedings have been disclosed to the extent ascertainable and include amounts claimed jointly and/or severally
from us and/or other parties, as the case may be. We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided
in favour of our Company or that no further liability will arise out of these proceedings. Our Company may incur
significant expenses in such legal proceedings and we may have to make provisions in our financial statements, which
could increase our expenses and liabilities. Any adverse decision may adversely affect our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
A summary of the pending litigations involving our Company is provided below:

manufacturing companies. Our products are used in making masala, gravies, sauces, etc. We thus cater to the
requirements of these industries and any slowdown in the growth rate or downward trend in any of these industries
directly or indirectly impact our own growth prospects and may result in decline in profits and turnover of sales.
52. Non-Compliance with, and changes in, safety, health and environmental laws and regulations may adversely affect
our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations
57Due to the nature of our business, we expect to be or continue to be subject to extensive and increasingly stringent
environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and various labour, workplace and related laws and regulations.
We are also subject to environmental laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
a. Environment (Protection) Act, 1986
b. Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981
c. Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
d. Hazardous Waste Management & Handling Rules, 2008
e. Other regulations promulgated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests and the Pollution Control Boards of
the state of Madhya Pradesh.
which govern the discharge, emission, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of substances that may be used in
or result from the operations of our business.
The scope and extent of new environmental regulations, including their effect on our operations, cannot be predicted
and hence the costs and management time required to comply with these requirements could be significant.
Amendments to such statutes may impose additional provisions to be followed by our Company and accordingly the
Company needs to incur clean-up and remediation costs, as well as damages, payment of fines or other penalties,
closure of production facilities for non - compliance, other liabilities and related litigation, could adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.
53. Our ability to pay dividends in the future may be affected by any material adverse effect on our future earnings,
financial condition or cash flows.
Our ability to pay dividends in future will depend on our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements. Our
business is working capital intensive and we are required to obtain consents from certain of our lenders prior to the
declaration of dividend as per the terms of the agreements executed with them. We may be unable to pay dividends
in the near or medium term, and our future dividend policy will depend on our capital requirements and financing
arrangements in respect of our operations, financial condition and results of operations. Although our Company has
declared dividends in the past, however there can be no assurance that our Company will declare dividends in the
future also. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “Dividend Policy” and the chapter titled “Financial
Indebtedness” on pages 192 and 237 respectively, of this Prospectus.
54. The deployment of funds is entirely at our discretion and as per the details mentioned in the chapter titled “Objects
of the Offer”.
As the offer size is less than ₹ 5,000 lakhs, under Regulation 41 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations it is not required that
a monitoring agency be appointed by our Company, for overseeing the deployment and utilization of funds raised
through this Offer. Therefore, the deployment of the funds towards the Objects of this Offer is entirely at the discretion
of our Board of Directors and is not subject to monitoring by external independent agency. Our Board of Directors
along with the Audit Committee will monitor the utilization of Offer proceeds and shall have the flexibility in applying
the proceeds of this Offer. However, the management of our Company shall not have the power to alter the objects of
this Offer except with the approval of the Shareholders of the Company given by way of a special resolution in a
general meeting, in the manner specified in Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013. Additionally, the dissenting
shareholders being those shareholders who have not agreed to the proposal to vary the objects of this Offer, our
Promoters shall provide them with an opportunity to exit at such price, and in such manner and conditions as may be
specified by the SEBI, in respect to the same. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled ― “Objects of the
Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus.
55. The data and statistics added in this Prospectus may be incomplete or inaccurate or may not be comparable to
statistics produced elsewhere.
We have not independently verified data from the Industry and related data contained in this Prospectus. Such data
may also be produced on a different basis from comparable information compiled with regards to other countries.
Therefore, discussions of matters relating to India, its economy or the industries in which we operate that is included
herein are subject to the caveat that the statistical and other data upon which such discussions may be incomplete,
inaccurate or unreliable. Due to incorrect or ineffective data 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 elsewhere and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, we cannot assure you that they are
stated or compiled on the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy, as the case may be, elsewhere.
5856. We have not independently verified certain data in this Prospectus.
We have not independently verified data from the Industry and related data contained in this Prospectus. We have
primarily relied upon the reports published by Indian Brand Equity Foundation for making disclosures in the chapter
titled “Industry Overview” in this Prospectus. Such data may also be produced on a different basis from comparable
information compiled with regards to other countries. Therefore, discussions of matters relating to India, its economy
or the industries in which we operate that is included herein are subject to the caveat that the statistical and other data
upon which such discussions are based have not been verified by us and may be incomplete, inaccurate or unreliable.
Due to incorrect or ineffective data 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
elsewhere and should not be unduly relied upon. Further, we cannot assure you that they are stated or compiled on
the same basis or with the same degree of accuracy, as the case may be, elsewhere.
57. Our Company proposes to utilize part of the Net Proceeds for repayment or pre-payment, in full or in part, of all
or certain secured borrowings availed by our Company and accordingly, the utilization of that portion of the Net
Proceeds will not result in creation of any tangible assets.
Our Company intends to utilise a part of the Net Proceeds for repayment or pre-payment, in full or in part, of all or
certain secured borrowings availed by our Company. The details of the loans identified to be repaid or prepaid using
the Net Proceeds have been disclosed in the section titled “Objects of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus. While
we believe that utilization of Net Proceeds for repayment of secured loans would help us to reduce our cost of debt
and enable the utilization of our funds for further investment in business growth and expansion, the pre-payment of
loans will not result in the creation of any tangible assets for our Company.
58. We could be harmed by employee misconduct or errors that are difficult to detect and any such incidences could
adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and reputation.
Employee misconduct or errors could expose us to business risks or losses, including regulatory sanctions and cause
serious harm to our reputation. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter such misconduct.
Moreover, the precautions we take to prevent and detect such activity may not be effective in all cases. Our employees
and agents may also commit errors that could subject us to claims and proceedings for alleged negligence, as well as
regulatory actions. While, there have been no instances in the past that would suggest any employee misconduct or
errors that are difficult to detect or any such incidences on account of which our business, financial condition, results
of operations and goodwill could be adversely affected, however occurrence of such events may impact our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
59. We are dependent on a newly formed team of Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Managerial Personnel, which
may present potential challenges in areas such as cultural alignment, operational efficiency, stakeholder
confidence, and the execution of strategic initiatives. If we are unable to attract or retain such qualified personnel,
this could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Company has recently undergone a transition, with all Key Managerial Personnel (KMP) and Senior Managerial
Personnel (SMP) being recruited post FY24. We are dependent on our new team of Key Managerial Personnel and
Senior Managerial Personnel, to manage our current operations and meet future business challenges. While we have
a new management team in place, we cannot guarantee that the team will not face difficulties in aligning with our
Company’s culture, operational processes, and strategic goals, which could affect decision-making and operational
efficiency. Furthermore, the team’s ability to effectively navigate the industry, understand market dynamics, and
successfully implement key initiatives is still unproven, potentially leading to delays or suboptimal performance. For
details in relation to the experience of our Key Managerial Personnel and our Senior Management Personnel, please
see the Chapter titled “Our Management” beginning on page 174 of the Prospectus.
60. The requirements of being a listed company may strain our resources.
We are not a listed Company and have not, historically, 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 listing agreements with the Stock Exchanges and compliances of SEBI
(LODR) Regulations which will require us to file audited annual and unaudited half yearly results and limited review
reports with respect to our business and financial condition. If we experience any delays, we may fail to satisfy our
59reporting 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 which may adversely affect the financial position of the Company.
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.
61. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Offer may not result in an active or liquid market for
the Equity Shares.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock
Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market
for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares. Although we
currently intend that the Equity Shares will remain listed on the Stock Exchanges, there is no guarantee of the
continued listing of the Equity Shares. Failure to maintain our listing on the Stock Exchanges or other securities
markets could adversely affect the market value of the Equity Shares.
The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined through a fixed price process in accordance with
the SEBI ICDR Regulations 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. The market price of the Equity Shares may
be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our operating results of our
Company, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, volatility in
securities markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators, variations in
revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other regulatory factors.
You may not be able to resell your Equity Shares at a price that is attractive to you.
62. There is no guarantee that the Equity Shares offered pursuant to the Offer will be listed on the Emerge Platform
of National Stock Exchange of India Limited in a timely manner or at all.
In accordance with Indian law and practice, permission for listing and trading of the Equity Shares offered pursuant
to the Offer will not be granted until after the Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval for listing and
trading will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuance of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be
a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on the Emerge Platform of National Stock Exchange of India Limited
due to delay in submission of required documents/ completion of formalities/compliance with required laws by the
issuer. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares.
63. There is no existing market for our Equity Shares, and we do not know if one will develop to provide you with
adequate liquidity. Further, an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop and the price of the
Equity Shares may be volatile.
An active public trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop or, if it develops, may not be maintained after
the Offer. Our Company, in consultation with the Book Running Lead Manager, will determine the Offer Price. The
Offer Price may be higher than the trading price of our Equity Shares following this Offer. As a result, investors may
not be able to sell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price or at the time that they would like to sell. The trading
price of the Equity Shares after the Offer may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to factors such as,
variations in our results of operations, market conditions specific to the sectors in which we operate economic
conditions of India and volatility of the securities markets elsewhere in the world.
64. The price of the Equity Shares may be highly volatile after the Offer, which could result in substantial losses for
investors acquiring the Equity Shares in the Offer.
The price of the Equity Shares on the Indian stock exchanges may fluctuate after this Offer as a result of several
factors, including, volatility in the Indian and global securities market; our operations and performance; performance
of our competitors and the perception in the market about investments in the our industry; adverse media reports on
60us or the industry; changes in the estimates of our performance or recommendations by financial analysts; significant
developments in India’s economic liberalization and deregulation policies; and significant developments in India’s
fiscal and environmental regulations. There can be no assurance that the prices at which the Equity Shares are initially
traded will correspond to the prices at which the Equity Shares will trade in the market subsequently. The market
price of the Equity Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate significantly and rapidly in response to, among others,
the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
• volatility in the Indian and global securities market or in the value of the Rupee relative to the U.S. Dollar, the
Euro and other foreign currencies;
• our profitability and performance;
• changes in financial analysts’ estimates of our performance or recommendations;
• perceptions about our future performance or the performance of Indian companies in general;
• performance of our competitors and the perception in the market about investments in the industries in which we
operate;
• adverse media reports about us or the industries in which we operate;
• significant developments in India’s economic liberalisation and deregulation policies;
• significant developments in India’s fiscal and environmental regulations;
• economic developments in India and in other countries; and
• any other political or economic factors.
These fluctuations may be exaggerated if the trading volume of the Equity Shares is low. Volatility in the price of the
Equity Shares may be unrelated or disproportionate to our results of operations. It may be difficult to assess our
performance against either domestic or international benchmarks.
Indian stock exchanges, including the Stock Exchanges, have experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices of
listed securities and problems such as temporary exchange closures, broker defaults, settlement delays and strikes by
brokers. The governing bodies of Indian stock exchanges have also, from time to time, imposed restrictions on trading
in certain securities, limitations on price movements and margin requirements. Further, disputes have occurred
between listed companies, stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies, which in some cases may have had a negative
effect on market sentiment. If such or similar problems were to continue or recur, they could affect the market price
and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares.
65. You will not be able to sell immediately on the Stock Exchange any of the Equity Shares you purchase in the Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Emerge Platform of National Stock Exchange of India Limited. Pursuant to
Indian regulations, certain actions must be completed before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading may
commence. Upon receipt of final approval from the Stock Exchanges, trading in the Equity Shares is to commence
within three (03) working days of the date of closure of the Offer or such other time as may be prescribed by SEBI.
SEBI pursuant to its circular bearing reference number SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023
has reduced the time taken for listing of specified securities after the closure of public issue to 3 working days (T+3
days) as against the previous requirement of 6 working days (T+6 days); ‘T’ being issue closing date. Our Company
shall follow the timeline provided under the aforementioned circular.
We cannot assure that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat accounts, or that trading in the Equity
Shares will commence, within the time period prescribed by law. Further, there can be no assurance that the Equity
Shares to be Allotted pursuant to this Offer will be listed on the Stock Exchanges in a timely manner or at all.
66. There are restrictions on daily movements in the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely affect a
shareholder’s ability to sell Equity Shares or the price at which Equity Shares can be sold at a particular point in
time.
Our listed Equity Shares will be subject to a daily “circuit breaker” imposed on listed companies by the Stock
Exchanges, which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the trading price of the Equity Shares. This
circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by SEBI
on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on the Equity Shares’ circuit breaker will be set by the Stock
Exchanges based on historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The Stock Exchanges
are not required to inform our Company of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker, and they may change the limit
without our knowledge. This circuit breaker would effectively limit the upward and downward movements in the
trading price of the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability
of shareholders to sell Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares.
6167. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity-linked securities by our Company
may dilute your shareholding and any sale of Equity Shares by our Promoters or members of our Promoters Group
may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by our
Company may dilute your shareholding in our Company; adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares and
our ability to raise capital through further issue of our securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such
issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that we
will not issue additional Equity Shares. The disposal of Equity Shares by any of our Promoters and Promoter Group,
or the perception that such sales may occur may significantly affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot
assure you that our Promoters and Promoter Group will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the
future.
68. Sale of Equity Shares by our Promoters or other significant shareholder(s) may adversely affect the trading price
of the Equity Shares.
Any instance of disinvestments of Equity Shares by our Promoters or by other significant shareholder(s) may
significantly affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Further, our market price may also be adversely affected
even if there is a perception or belief that such sale of Equity Shares might occur.
EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS
69. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws, may
adversely affect our business and financial performance.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and is subject to change. The Government of
India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our products or the building material
industry in general, which could lead to new compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and
licenses from the Government of India and other regulatory bodies, or impose onerous requirements.
New compliance requirements could increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition,
cash flows and results of operations. Furthermore, the manner in which new requirements will be enforced or
interpreted can lead to uncertainty in our operations and could adversely affect our operations. Any changes to such
laws, including the instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations, cash flows and prospects.
Additionally, the Government of India has introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019 (“Wages Code”); (b) the Code
on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”); (c) the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions
Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (collectively, the “Labour Codes”) which consolidate,
subsume and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. The Government of India has deferred the
effective date of implementation of the respective Labour Codes, and they shall come into force from such dates as
may be notified. Different dates may also be appointed for the coming into force of different provisions of the Labour
Codes. While the rules for implementation under these codes have not been notified in its entirety, as an immediate
consequence, the coming into force of these codes could increase the financial burden on our Company, which may
adversely impact our profitability. We are yet to determine the impact of all or some such laws on our business and
operations which may restrict our ability to grow our business in the future. For example, the Social Security Code
aims to provide uniformity in providing social security benefits to the employees which was earlier segregated under
different acts and had different applicability and coverage. Furthermore, the Wages Code limits the amounts that may
be excluded from being accounted toward employment benefits (such as gratuity and maternity benefits) to a
maximum of 50.00% of the wages payable to employees. The implementation of such laws has the ability to increase
our employee and labour costs, thereby adversely impacting our results of operations, cash flows, business and
financial performance. Further, the Government of India introduced the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2024 with effect
from July 01, 2024 to repeal the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations
including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being
deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. We may incur
increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with new requirements, which may also require significant
management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects. Uncertainty in the application, interpretation or
implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason of an
absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly for us to
resolve and may affect the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our businesses in the future.
6270. Our business is substantially affected by prevailing economic conditions in India.
We perform all of our activities in India, and the predominant portions of our customers are Indian nationals. As a
result, we are highly dependent on prevailing economic conditions in India and our results of operation are
significantly affected by factors influencing the Indian economy. Factors that may adversely affect the Indian
economy, and hence our results of operations, include:
• any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation;
• prevailing income conditions among Indian consumers and Indian corporations;
• changes in India’s present tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies;
• natural disasters, political instability, communal disturbances, riots, civil unrest, terrorism or military conflict in
India or in countries in the region or globally, including in India’s various neighboring countries; and
• prevailing national, regional or global economic conditions, including in India’s principal export markets.
In addition to the factors set forth above, our business may be affected by adverse changes specific to the industries in
which we operate.
71. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law.
Under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between non-residents and
residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting
requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or
reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required.
Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency
and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection or a tax clearance certificate from the
income tax authority. We cannot assure you that any required approval from the RBI or any other Government agency
can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.
72. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise financing.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect
our ability to raise additional overseas financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such
additional financing is available. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable
terms or at all, and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of our Equity
Shares.
73. Political instability or a change in economic liberalization and deregulation policies could seriously harm business
and economic conditions in India generally and our business in particular.
The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise influence over many aspects of the
economy. Our business and the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares may be affected by interest rates,
changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other developments
in or affecting India. The rate of economic liberalization could change, and specific laws and policies affecting the
information technology sector, foreign investment and other matters affecting investment in our securities could
change as well. Any significant change in such liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect business
and economic conditions in India, generally, and our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations,
in particular.
74. Global economic, political and social conditions may harm our ability to do business, increase our costs and
negatively affect our stock price.
Global economic and political factors that are beyond our control, influence forecasts and directly affect performance
of our business. These factors include interest rates, rates of economic growth, fiscal and monetary policies of
governments, inflation, deflation, foreign exchange fluctuations, consumer credit availability, fluctuations in markets,
consumer debt levels, unemployment trends and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending.
Increasing volatility in financial markets may cause these factors to change with a greater degree of frequency and
magnitude, which may negatively affect our stock prices.
75. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our business to suffer.
India has experienced natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunami, floods etc. In recent years, the extent and
severity of these natural disasters determine their impact on the Indian economy. Prolonged spells of abnormal rainfall
or other natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy, which could adversely affect our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations as well as the price of the Equity Shares.
76. Terrorist attacks, civil unrests and other acts of violence or war involving India or other countries could adversely
63affect the financial markets, our business, financial condition and the price of our Equity Shares.
Any major hostilities involving India or other acts of violence, including civil unrest or similar events that are beyond
our control, could have a material adverse effect on India’s economy and our business. Incidents such as the terrorist
attacks, other incidents such as those in US, Indonesia, Madrid and London, and other acts of violence may adversely
affect the Indian stock markets where our Equity Shares will trade as well as the global equity markets generally.
Such acts could negatively impact business sentiment as well as trade between countries, which could adversely affect
our Company’s business and profitability. Additionally, such events could have a material adverse effect on the
market for securities of Indian companies, including the Equity Shares.

Given the dynamic nature of our business, we may have to revise our funding requirements and deployment on account
of a variety of factors such as our financial condition, business strategy and external factors such as market conditions
competitive environment and interest or exchange rate fluctuations, changes in design and configuration of the project,
increase in input costs of construction materials and labour costs, logistics and transport costs incremental preoperative
expenses, taxes and duties, interest and finance charges, engineering procurement and construction costs, working capital
margin, regulatory costs, environmental factors and other external factors 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 particular purpose, at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance with applicable law.
Moreover, if the actual utilisation towards any of the Objects is lower than the proposed deployment such balance will
be used for general corporate purposes to the extent that the total amount to be utilized towards general corporate purposes
will not exceed 25% of the gross proceeds from the Offer in accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. In case of a
shortfall in raising requisite capital from the Net Proceeds or an increase in the total estimated cost of the Objects, business
considerations may require us to explore a range of options including utilising our internal accruals and seeking additional
debt from existing and future lenders. We believe that such alternate arrangements would be available to fund any such
shortfalls. Further, in case of variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the purposes set forth above,
increased fund requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds, if any, available in respect of the
other purposes for which funds are being raised in the Offer. To the extent our Company is unable to utilize any portion
of the Net Proceeds towards the aforementioned objects, or is able to utilise additional Net Proceeds in a preceding
Financial Year, as compared to the estimated scheduled of deployment specified above, our Company shall deploy the
Net Proceeds in the subsequent or preceding financial year, as applicable, towards the aforementioned Objects. For further

from the Offer and the deployment of the net proceeds from the Offer is not subject to any monitoring by any independent
agency” on page 52.
The fund requirements mentioned above for purchase of machineries, equipment and solar facility are based on the
internal management estimates of our Company and quotation received from third parties. The fund requirements
mentioned above except for purchase of machineries, equipment and solar facility are based on the internal management
estimates of our Company, and have not been verified by the Book Running Lead Manager or appraised by any bank,
financial institution. The fund requirements are based on current circumstances of our business and our Company may
have to revise its estimates from time to time on account of various factors beyond its control, such as market conditions,
competitive environment, costs of commodities and interest or exchange rate fluctuations. Consequently, the fund
requirements of our Company are subject to revisions in the future at the discretion of the management. In the event of
97any shortfall of funds for the activities proposed to be financed out of the Net Proceeds as stated above, our Company
may re-allocate the Net Proceeds to the activities where such shortfall has arisen, subject to compliance with applicable
laws. Further, in case of a shortfall in the Net Proceeds or cost overruns, our management may explore a range of options
including utilising our internal accruals or seeking debt financing. For further details see “Risk Factors – Risk Factor 18

Details of the Object
The details of the Objects of the Offer are set out below:
1. Funding capital expenditure requirements towards (i) purchase of new machinery and upgradation of existing
machinery installed; and (ii) setting up of on-grid rooftop solar PV system of a capacity of 149.04KWp at our
existing manufacturing unit
Our Company is a manufacturer and processer of dehydrated vegetables, serving leading institutional manufacturers
engaged in branded packaged food industries, traders and international importers of dehydrated products. Our primary
products include, dehydrated carrots, dehydrated cabbage and dehydrated ring beans/beans. All our products are produced
at our manufacturing facility, located in District Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, with a production capacity of approximately
1500 MT for all our dehydrated products, divided into two facilities. This enables us to have an effective control over the
manufacturing process and to ensure consistent quality of our products. We have in the past undertaking capital
expenditure at our manufacturing facility, and therefore have a track record of increasing our manufacturing capacity and
scaling our operations accordingly. For instance, we established our manufacturing unit with a semi-automatic line and a
small dryer, for processing and manufacturing dehydrated vegetables, in 2017. In 2019, we automated the existing
manufacturing unit by replacing the semi-automatic line with an automatic process line and installed an in-house meyer
color sorter machine for improving quality of our products. In the year 2022, with the aim of expanding our manufacturing
capacity, we had installed an additional vegetable processing line to increase production and set up an additional food
dehydration and processing line in our manufacturing unit. We further expanded our manufacturing capacity and
increased our ability to store and process raw materials and finished products, by establishing an in-house cold storage in
our manufacturing unit. The storage has a captive storage capacity of 2,000 M.T and has complemented our
manufacturing operations by increasing the life span of our raw materials and finished products, thus increasing our
inventory days and order completion turnaround time.
We now wish to add additional plant and machinery at our second production line in order to undertaking independent
manufacturing operations in each of our facilities, and add a packaging line for packaging our products at a faster pace.
Presently, if we wish to carry out manufacturing operations after a production cycle, we are required to stop our operations
to first clean the entire machinery to reduce the risk of contamination. With an independent second line, we shall be able
to simultaneously carry out manufacturing operations while undertaking cleaning operations in one production line.
Additionally, we also wish to install additional machinery to enhance the quality of our products and further automate
our quality and inspection processes. The machines proposed to be installed shall enable us in de-clustering beans and
snipping of green beans to ensure un-sipped beans are not processed for dehydration. Further, the proposed addition to
our machinery, shall also enable us in identifying defects that arise during snipping or cutting of vegetables and for sorting
B grade vegetables from a grade vegetables, during the manufacturing process. We shall also be adding new products to
our portfolio through the new machines proposed to be purchase from the Net Proceeds. We intend to utilise an amount
of ₹ 646.27 lakhs towards funding of capital expenditure by installing additional machinery in both the facilities at our
existing manufacturing unit. We believe that the said capital expenditure will enable us in manufacturing better quality
products which will increase our sales and reduce our debtors.
Our Company has identified the machinery to be purchased and obtained quotations from respective vendors /suppliers
and is yet to place any orders or enter into definitive agreements for purchase of such machinery. The amount to be spent
100and machinery to be procured by our Company will depend upon business requirements and technological advancement.

Setting up of on-grid rooftop solar PV system of a capacity of 149.04KWp
We require a substantial amount of electrical power for running our business operations. At present the electricity for our
manufacturing unit is sourced from MP Paschim Kshetra Vidyut Vitaran Co. Ltd. and an amount of ₹ 81.56 lakhs, ₹ 71.70
lakhs, and ₹ 53.00 lakhs, was incurred by us for the period ended March 31, 2025, March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023,
as expense towards sourcing electric power for our manufacturing unit, which constituted 3.26%, 3.73%, and 3.64% of
our total expenses, respectively.
Adequate and cost-effective supply of electrical power is critical to our operations, which entails significant consumption
of electrical power. The shortage or non-availability of electrical power may adversely affect our manufacturing process
and have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We propose to reduce our dependency
on third parties for sourcing power for our operations and also reduce the cost incurred towards sourcing of electricity for
our operations. We intend to utilise an amount of ₹ 60.72 lakhs towards setting up of rooftop on grid solar power plant in
our existing manufacturing unit to reduce cost of electricity, which consequently will result in increase in cash flow and
better financial conditions.
Additionally, our Company has over the years developed a sustainable business model which not only benefits the
business operations of our Company but also contributes to the farmer community and the environment at large. A few
of the sustainable practices followed by our Company have been provided below:
103a) we procure organic vegetables directly from farmers in Madhya Pradesh and Amritsar and from Agricultural Produce
Marketing Committee (“APMC”) to maintain cost-competitiveness and freshness of our raw materials. We have
maintained good and cordial relations with local carrot growing farmer base so as to ensure un-interrupted supply of
carrot within the required time period and reduced carbon footprint for our procurement operations; and
b) the machinery installed at our manufacturing unit, utilises automatic heat generation to dehydrate vegetables, to reduce
generation and release of steam outside the manufacturing unit. This capacity enhancement has made our operations
sustainable and environmental friendly.
We believe our move towards installing rooftop on grid solar power plant would make our Company eligible for
entering into geographies, where institutional manufacturers mandate inculcating sustainability as part of
manufacturing process.
Our Company has obtained a quotation from Waree Energies Limited towards setting up of rooftop on grid solar power
plant from the Net Proceeds and is yet to place any orders or enter into definitive agreements towards set up of such solar
facility. The break-down of such quotation received from Vendor – “Waree Energies Limited” are set forth below:

Justifications
Particulars Justification
Inventory Over the past three fiscal years, inventory days have gradually increased. In Fiscal 2023,
inventory days were recorded at 136 days, rising to 169 days in Fiscal 2024, and decreased to
164 days in Fiscal 2025. Moving forward, we expect to maintain a consistent level of 164 days
for Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2027.
Large quantities of fresh produce are purchased during peak harvest seasons and then dehydrated
for sale during off-peak periods. This approach, along with the long shelf life of dehydrated
products, enables us to meet year-round demand and maintain a buffer against market
fluctuations. However, the projected decrease in inventory days reflects efforts to implement
improved inventory management practices. These practices aim to optimize holding costs while
ensuring that product availability aligns with growing demand.
Trade Receivables Over the past three fiscal years, our company has seen fluctuations in trade receivables days.
These days decreased from 32 in Fiscal 2023 to 27 in Fiscal 2024, and then increased to 104 days
in Fiscal 2025. Looking ahead, we anticipate Trade receivables days at 138 days for Fiscal 2026
and 127 days for Fiscal 2027.
The initial downward trend reflects the Company’s improved collection efficiency and effective
working capital management. However, the noticeable spike during fiscal year 2025 can be
attributed not only to seasonal factors inherent to the dehydration business, but more significantly
to strategic expansion efforts. Specifically, the Company broadened its customer base by
increasing sales to traders, in addition to its ongoing transactions with corporate clients. This shift
led to a higher volume of sales, accompanied by extended credit periods typically associated with
trader transactions. Consequently, delays in payments stemming from customers’ internal cash
flow management also contributed to the upward trend.
As a result of the Company’s strategic decision to expand its customer base by engaging more
actively with traders, the average trade receivable working days increased to 104. This shift
reflects both the nature of trader transactions which often involve longer credit cycles and the
Company’s intentional move to offer extended credit periods to customers. These initiatives were
aimed at strengthening relationships, capturing greater market share, and accelerating growth in
newly targeted operational regions. While this led to longer payment cycles, it was a calculated
approach to establish a broader presence and build long-term customer loyalty across diversified
channels.
Trade Payables Over the past three fiscal years, the company has seen an increase in its trade payable days. These
days increased from 97 in Fiscal 2023 to 119 in Fiscal 2024, followed by a further rise to 125
days in Fiscal 2025. Looking ahead, the company anticipates a stabilization at 125 days in Fiscal
2026, with a reduction to 122 days in Fiscal 2027. This trend in trade payable days reflects our
strategic approach to supplier management within the dehydration industry. The initial increase
in trade payable days was a direct result of our efforts to leverage negotiating power to secure
extended payment terms. This strategy aligned with longer receivable cycles and was aimed at
optimizing cash flow, particularly during a period of working capital constraints. During Fiscal
2023 to Fiscal 2024, we faced a shortage of working capital, which led to delays in payments to
our trade payables. This, in turn, resulted in higher costs for raw materials from creditors.
However, with the increase in our working capital facility in the current year, we intend to reduce
our trade payable days moving forward. By doing so, we aim to take advantage of lower raw
material prices, thereby improving our gross margins. The projected decrease in payable days
also indicates a shift towards more timely payments, driven by our commitment to maintaining
strong supplier relationships and ensuring a reliable supply of raw materials.
106Particulars Justification
To reduce raw material costs and improve profitability, the company plans to shorten its payable
days. By analyzing raw material needs, the company buys directly from farmers, to avail a
discount on the raw material procured, the Company is required to make upfront payment to such
farmers. We believe that reducing payable days will enable the company to take advantage of
these discounts, lowering costs and improve profitability.
3. Repayment and/or pre-payment, in part or full, of certain borrowings availed by our Company
Our Company has entered into various financing arrangements from time to time, with various lenders. The financing
arrangements availed by our Company include, inter alia, unsecured loans, credit facility and term loans. For disclosure
of our Company’s secured and unsecured borrowings as on June 30, 2025, please refer to chapter titled “Financial
Indebtedness” beginning on page 237.
As at June 30, 2025, our term loans aggregated to ₹ 461.15 lakhs. Our Company proposes to utilise an estimated amount
of ₹ 461.15 lakhs from the Net Proceeds of the Offer towards full or partial repayment or pre-payment of such
outstanding borrowings availed by our Company. In the event the Net Proceeds are insufficient for payment of pre-
payment penalty or accrued interest, as applicable, such payment shall be made from the internal accruals of our
Company. We may choose to repay and/or pre-pay certain borrowings availed by us, other than those identified in the
table below, which may include additional borrowings we may avail after the filing of this Prospectus. Given the nature
of these borrowings and the terms of repayment/pre-payment, the aggregate outstanding borrowing amounts may vary
from time to time. In light of the above, at the time of filing the Red Herring Prospectus or Prospectus with the RoC,
the details in this chapter shall be suitably updated to reflect the revised amounts or loans as the case may be which
have been availed by us. In the event our Board deems appropriate, the amount allocated for estimated schedule of
deployment of Net Proceeds in a particular Fiscal may be repaid/ pre-paid in part or full by our Company in the
subsequent Fiscal.
However, the aggregate amount to be utilised from the Net Proceeds towards repayment and/or prepayment, in part or
full, of certain borrowings, would not exceed ₹ 461.15 Lakhs.
We believe that such repayment/ pre-payment will help reduce our outstanding indebtedness, debt servicing costs and
enable utilisation of our internal accruals for further investment in the growth and expansion of our business. Such
reduction of our outstanding indebtedness will also help us to improve our ability to raise further resources in the future
to fund our potential business development opportunities and plans to grow and expand our business.
The following table provides details of loans and facilities as at June 30, 2025, which are proposed to be pre-paid or partly
or fully repaid by our Company from the Net Proceeds:

120SECTION V – ABOUT THE COMPANY
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
MACRO ECONOMIC: OVERVIEW
Global growth is expected to remain stable yet underwhelming. However, notable revisions have taken place
beneath the surface since April 2024, with upgrades to the forecast for the United States offsetting downgrades
to those for other advanced economies, in particular, the largest European countries. Likewise, in emerging
market and developing economies, disruptions to production and shipping of commodities—especially oil—
conflicts, civil unrest, and extreme weather events have led to downward revisions to the outlook for the
Middle East and Central Asia and that for sub-Saharan Africa. These have been compensated for by upgrades
to the forecast for emerging Asia, where surging demand for semiconductors and electronics, driven by
significant investments in artificial intelligence, has bolstered growth, a trend supported by substantial public
investment in China and India. Five years from now, global growth should reach 3.1 percent—a mediocre
performance compared with the pre-pandemic average.
As global disinflation continues, services price inflation remains elevated in many regions, pointing to the
importance of understanding sectoral dynamics and of calibrating monetary policy accordingly, as discussed
in Chapter 2. With cyclical imbalances in the global economy waning, near-term policy priorities should be
carefully calibrated to ensure a smooth landing. At the same time, structural reforms are necessary to lift
medium-term growth prospects, while support for the most vulnerable should be maintained. Chapter 3
discusses strategies to enhance the social acceptability of these reforms—a crucial prerequisite for successful
implementation.
Global growth is expected to remain stable yet underwhelming. At 3.2 percent in 2024 and 2025, the growth
projection is virtually unchanged from those in both the July 2024 World Economic Outlook Update and the
April 2024 World Economic Outlook. However, notable revisions have taken place beneath the surface, with
upgrades to the forecast for the United States offsetting downgrades to those for other advanced economies—
in particular, the largest European countries. Likewise, in emerging market and developing economies,
disruptions to production and shipping of commodities—especially oil—conflicts, civil unrest, and extreme
weather events have led to downward revisions to the outlook for the Middle East and Central Asia and that
for sub-Saharan Africa. These have been compensated for by upgrades to the forecast for emerging Asia,
where surging demand for semiconductors and electronics, driven by significant investments in artificial
intelligence, has bolstered growth. The latest forecast for global growth five years from now––at 3.1 percent—
remains mediocre compared with the pre-pandemic average. Persistent structural headwinds—such as
population aging and weak productivity—are holding back potential growth in many economies.
Cyclical imbalances have eased since the beginning of the year, leading to a better alignment of economic
activity with potential output in major economies. This adjustment is bringing inflation rates across countries
closer together and on balance has contributed to lower global inflation. Global headline inflation is expected
to fall from an annual average of 6.7 percent in 2023 to 5.8 percent in 2024 and 4.3 percent in 2025, with
advanced economies returning to their inflation targets sooner than emerging market and developing
economies. As global disinflation continues to progress, broadly in line with the baseline, bumps on the road
to price stability are still possible. Goods prices have stabilized, but services price inflation remains elevated
in many regions, pointing to the importance of understanding sectoral dynamics and of calibrating monetary
policy accordingly.
Risks to the global outlook are tilted to the downside amid elevated policy uncertainty. Sudden eruptions in
financial market volatility—as experienced in early August—could tighten financial conditions and weigh on
investment and growth, especially in developing economies in which large near-term external financing needs
may trigger capital outflows and debt distress. Further disruptions to the disinflation process, potentially
triggered by new spikes in commodity prices amid persistent geopolitical tensions, could prevent central banks
from easing monetary policy, which would pose significant challenges to fiscal policy and financial stability.
Deeper- or longer-than-expected contraction in China’s property sector, especially if it leads to financial
instability, could weaken consumer sentiment and generate negative global spill overs given China’s large
121footprint in global trade. An intensification of protectionist policies would exacerbate trade tensions, reduce
market efficiency, and further disrupt supply chains. Rising social tensions could prompt social unrest, hurting
consumer and investor confidence and potentially delaying the passage and implementation of necessary
structural reforms.
As cyclical imbalances in the global economy wane, near-term policy priorities should be carefully calibrated
to ensure a smooth landing. In many countries, shifting gears on fiscal policy is urgently needed to ensure that
public debt is on a sustainable path and to rebuild fiscal buffers; the pace of adjustment should be tailored to
country-specific circumstances. Structural reforms are necessary to lift medium-term growth prospects, but
support for the most vulnerable should be maintained. Chapter 3 discusses strategies to enhance the social
acceptability of these reforms—a crucial prerequisite for successful implementation. Multilateral cooperation
is needed more than ever to accelerate the green transition and to support debt-restructuring efforts. Mitigating
the risks of geo economic fragmentation and strengthening rules-based multilateral frameworks are essential
to ensure that all economies can reap the benefits of future growth.
BASELINE OUTLOOK: STABLE GROWTH AMID CONTINUING DISINFLATION:
Global growth is expected to remain broadly flat— decelerating from 3.3 percent in 2023 to 3.1 percent by
2029—and is largely unchanged from World Economic Outlook forecasts in April 2024 and October 2023
(Tables 1.1 and 1.2; Figure 1.12).1 Under the surface, however, offsetting revisions have brought major
economies closer together as cyclical forces wane and GDP moves closer to potential. As inflation recedes,
policy rates are expected to follow suit, preventing undue increases in real interest rates. Interest rates are
expected to gradually descend toward their natural levels: the levels of risk-free real Winterest rates compatible
with output at potential and inflation at target. Although global revisions to the forecast since April have been
minimal, offsetting shifts at the country group level reflect recent shocks and policies, most notably in
emerging market and developing economies. Cuts in production and shipping of commodities (oil in
particular), conflicts, and civil unrest have led to downward revisions to the regional outlooks for the Middle
East and Central Asia and for sub-Saharan Africa. At the same time, surging demand for semiconductors and
electronics, driven by significant investment in artificial intelligence, has fueled stronger growth in emerging
Asia.
122GROWTH OUTLOOK: MAJOR ECONOMIES DRAW CLOSER TOGETHER:
Following a reopening rebound in 2022, growth in advanced economies markedly slowed in 2023 and is
projected to remain steady, oscillating between 1.7 and 1.8 percent until 2029. This apparent stability conceals
123differing country dynamics as various cyclical forces unwind and economic activity gets back in line with
potential. In the United States, growth is expected to decelerate, with output reaching potential from above by
2029. In the United Kingdom and the euro area, on the other hand, activity is projected to accelerate, closing
the output gap from below. In Japan, where the output gap is already closed, GDP is expected to grow in line
with potential.
In the United States, projected growth for 2024 has been revised upward to 2.8 percent, which is 0.2 percentage
point higher than the July forecast, on account of stronger outturns in consumption and non-residential
investment. The resilience of consumption is largely the result of robust increases in real wages (especially
among lower-income households) and wealth effects. Growth is anticipated to slow to 2.2 percent in 2025 as
fiscal policy is gradually tightened and a cooling labour market slows consumption. With GDP growth lower
than potential, the output gap is expected to start closing in 2025.
In the euro area, growth seems to have reached its lowest point in 2023. A touch weaker than projected in
April and July 2024, GDP growth is expected to pick up to a modest 0.8 percent in 2024 as a result of better
export performance, in particular of goods. In 2025, growth is projected to rise further to 1.2 percent, helped
by stronger domestic demand. Rising real wages are expected to boost consumption, and a gradual loosening
of monetary policy is expected to support investment. Persistent weakness in manufacturing weighs on growth
for countries such as Germany and Italy. However, whereas Italy’s domestic demand is expected to benefit
from the European Union–financed National Recovery and Resilience Plan, Germany is experiencing strain
from fiscal consolidation and a sharp decline in real estate prices.
Offsetting dynamics are also at play among other advanced economies. Growth is expected to decelerate in
Japan in 2024, with the slowdown reflecting temporary supply disruptions and fading of one-off factors that
boosted activity in 2023, such as the surge in tourism. With respect to April, growth is revised downward, by
0.6 percentage point, to 0.3 percent for 2024, reflecting a temporary supply disruption in the car industry and
the base effect of historical data revisions. An acceleration to 1.1 is predicted in 2025, with growth boosted by
private consumption as real wage growth strengthens. In the United Kingdom, in contrast, growth is projected
to have accelerated to 1.1 percent in 2024 and is expected to continue doing so to 1.5 percent in 2025 as falling
inflation and interest rates stimulate domestic demand.
GROWTH OUTLOOK: EMERGING MARKETS GET SUPPORT FROM ASIA:
In a manner similar to that for advanced economies, the growth outlook for emerging market and developing
economies is remarkably stable for the next two years, hovering at about 4.2 percent and steadying at 3.9
percent by 2029. And just as in advanced economies, offsetting dynamics are occurring between country
groups. Compared with that in April, growth in emerging market and developing economies is revised upward
by 0.1 percentage point for 2024, reflecting upgrades for Asia (China and India) that more than offset
downgrades for sub Saharan Africa and for the Middle East and Central Asia.
Emerging Asia’s strong growth is expected to subside, from 5.7 percent in 2023 to 5.0 percent in 2025. This
reflects a sustained slowdown in the region’s two largest countries. In India, the outlook is for GDP growth to
moderate from 8.2 percent in 2023 to 7 percent in 2024 and 6.5 percent in 2025, because pent-up demand
accumulated during the pandemic has been exhausted, as the economy reconnects with its potential. In China,
the slowdown is projected to be more gradual. Despite persisting weakness in the real estate sector and low
consumer confidence, growth is projected to have slowed only marginally to 4.8 percent in 2024, largely
thanks to better-than-expected net exports. Compared with that in April, the forecast has been revised upward
by 0.2 percentage point in 2024 and 0.4 percentage point in 2025. Recent policy measures may provide upside
risk to near-term growth.
In contrast, growth in the Middle East and Central Asia is projected to pick up from an estimated 2.1 percent
in 2023 to 3.9 percent in 2025, as the effect on the region of temporary disruptions to oil production and
shipping are assumed to fade away. Compared with that in April, the projection has been revised downward
by 0.4 percentage point for 2024, mainly the result of the extension of oil production cuts in Saudi Arabia and
124ongoing conflict in Sudan taking a large toll
In sub-Saharan Africa, GDP growth is similarly projected to increase, from an estimated 3.6 percent in 2023
to 4.2 percent in 2025, as the adverse impacts of prior weather shocks abate and supply constraints gradually
ease. Compared with that in April, the regional forecast is revised downward by 0.2 percentage point for 2024
and upward by 0.1 percentage point for 2025. Besides the ongoing conflict that has led to a 26 percent
contraction of the South Sudanese economy, the revision reflects slower growth in Nigeria, amid weaker-than-
expected activity in the first half of the year.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, growth is projected to decline from 2.2 percent in 2023 to 2.1 percent in
2024 before rebounding to 2.5 percent in 2025. In Brazil, growth is projected at 3.0 percent in 2024 and 2.2
percent in 2025. This is an upward revision of 0.9 percentage point for 2024, compared with July 2024 World
Economic Outlook Update projections, owing to stronger private consumption and investment in the first half
of the year from a tight labour market, government transfers, and smaller-than-anticipated disruptions from
floods. However, with the still-restrictive monetary policy and the expected cooling of the labour market,
growth is expected to moderate in 2025. In Mexico, growth is projected at 1.5 percent in 2024, reflecting
weakening domestic demand on the back of monetary policy tightening, before slowing further to 1.3 percent
in 2025 on a tighter fiscal stance. Overall, offsetting revisions leave the regional growth forecast broadly
unchanged since April.
Growth in emerging and developing Europe is projected to remain steady at 3.2 percent in 2024 but to ease
significantly to 2.2 percent in 2025. The moderation reflects a sharp slowdown in Russia from 3.6 percent in
2023 to 1.3 percent in 2025 as private consumption and investment slow amid reduced tightness in the labour
market and slower wage growth. In Turkey, growth is expected to slow from 5.1 percent in 2023 to 2.7 percent
125in 2025, with the slowdown driven by the shift to monetary and fiscal policy tightening since mid-2023.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW:
Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY23 helped India overcome the UK to become the fifth-largest
economy after it recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic shock. Nominal GDP or GDP at Current Prices for
Q1 2024-25 is estimated at Rs. 77.31 lakh crores (US$ 928.9 billion) with growth rate of 9.7%, compared to
the growth of 8.5% for Q1 2023-24. The growth in nominal GDP during 2023-24 is estimated at 9.6% as
compared to 14.2% in 2022-23. Strong domestic demand for consumption and investment, along with
Government’s continued emphasis on capital expenditure are seen as among the key driver of the GDP in the
second half of FY24. During the period April-September 2025, India’s exports stood at US$ 211.46 billion,
with Engineering Goods (26.57%), Petroleum Products (16.51%) and electronic goods (7.39%) being the top
three exported commodity. Rising employment and increasing private consumption, supported by rising
consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming months.
Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to be supported by factors such as tax
buoyancy, the streamlined tax system with low rates, a thorough assessment and rationalisation of the tariff
structure, and the digitization of tax filing. In the medium run, increased capital spending on infrastructure and
asset-building projects is set to increase growth multipliers. The contact-based services sector has
demonstrated promise to boost growth by unleashing the pent-up demand. The sector's success is being
captured by a number of HFIs (High-Frequency Indicators) that are performing well, indicating the beginnings
of a comeback.
India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top
three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong
partnerships.
India's appeal as a destination for investments has grown stronger and more sustainable because of the current
period of global unpredictability and volatility, and the record amounts of money raised by India-focused funds
in 2022 are evidence of investor faith in the "Invest in India" narrative.
Real GDP or GDP at Constant (2011-12) Prices for the period Q1 2024-25 is estimated at Rs. 43.64 lakh crore
(US$ 524 billion), against the First Revised Estimates (FRE) of GDP for the year Q1 2023-24 of Rs. 40.91
lakh crore (US$ 491 million). The growth in real GDP during 2023-24 is estimated at 8.2% as compared to
7.0% in 2022-23. There are 113 unicorn startups in India, with a combined valuation of over US$ 350 billion.
As many as 14 tech startups are expected to list in 2024 Fintech sector poised to generate the largest number
of future unicorns in India. With India presently has the third-largest unicorn base in the world. The
government is also focusing on renewable sources by achieving 40% of its energy from non-fossil sources by
2030. India is committed to achieving the country's ambition of Net Zero Emissions by 2070 through a five-
pronged strategy, ‘Panchamrit’. Moreover, India ranked 3rd in the renewable energy country attractive index.
According to the McKinsey Global Institute, India needs to boost its rate of employment growth and create 90
million non-farm jobs between 2023 to 2030 in order to increase productivity and economic growth. The net
employment rate needs to grow by 1.5% per annum from 2023 to 2030 to achieve 8-8.5% GDP growth between
same time periods. India’s current account deficit (CAD) narrowed to 0.7% of GDP in FY24. The CAD stood
at US$ 9.7 billion for the Q1 2024-25 from US$ 8.9 billion in Q1 2023-24 or 1.1% of GDP. This was largely
due to decrease in merchandise trade deficit.
Exports fared remarkably well during the pandemic and aided recovery when all other growth engines were
losing steam in terms of their contribution to GDP. Going forward, the contribution of merchandise exports
may waver as several of India’s trade partners witness an economic slowdown. According to Minister of
Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Textiles Mr. Piyush Goyal,
126Indian exports are expected to reach US$ 1 trillion by 2030.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
India is primarily a domestic demand-driven economy, with consumption and investments contributing to 70%
of the economic activity. With an improvement in the economic
scenario and the Indian economy recovering from the Covid-19
pandemic shock, several investments and developments have
been made across various sectors of the economy. According to
World Bank, India must continue to prioritise lowering
inequality while also putting growth-oriented policies into place
to boost the economy. In view of this, there have been some
developments that have taken place in the recent past. Some of
them are mentioned below.

266 Lakhs metric tonnes (LMT) and the rice procured in Kharif Marketing Season (KMS) 2024-25
was 400 LMT.
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES:
Over the years, the Indian government has introduced many initiatives to strengthen the nation's economy.
The Indian government has been effective in developing policies and programmes that are not only beneficial
for citizens to improve their financial stability but also for the overall growth of the economy. Over recent
decades, India's rapid economic growth has led to a substantial increase in its demand for exports. Besides
this, a number of the government's flagship programmes, including Make in India, Start-up India, Digital India,
the Smart City Mission, and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation, is aimed at creating
immense opportunities in India. In this regard, some of the initiatives taken by the government to improve the

ROAD AHEAD:
In the second quarter of FY24, the growth momentum of the first quarter was sustained, and high-frequency
indicators (HFIs) performed well in July and August of 2023. India's comparatively strong position in the
external sector reflects the country's positive outlook for economic growth and rising employment rates. India
ranked 5th in foreign direct investment inflows among the developed and developing nations listed for the first
quarter of 2022. India's economic story during the first half of the current financial year highlighted the
unwavering support the government gave to its capital expenditure, which, in 2023-24, stood 37.4% higher
than the same period last year.
In the budget of 2024-25, capital expenditure took lead by steeply increasing the capital expenditure outlay by
17.1 % to Rs.11 lakh crore (US$ 133.51 billion) over Rs. 9.48 lakh crore (US$ 113.91 billion) in 2023-
24. Stronger revenue generation because of improved tax compliance, increased profitability of the company,
and increasing economic activity also contributed to rising capital spending levels
Since India’s resilient growth despite the global pandemic, India's exports climbed at the second-highest rate
with a year-over-year (YoY) growth of 8.39% in merchandise exports and a 29.82% growth in service exports
till April 2023. With a reduction in port congestion, supply networks are being restored. The CPI-C inflation
reduction from June 2022 already reflects the impact. In September 2023 (Provisional), CPI-C inflation was
5.02%, down from 7.01% in June 2022.
With a proactive set of administrative actions by the government, flexible monetary policy, and a softening of
global commodity prices and supply-chain bottlenecks, inflationary pressures in India look to be on the decline
overall.

OVERVIEW
Founded in 2014, our Company is a manufacturer and processer of dehydrated vegetables, serving leading institutional
manufacturers engaged in branded packaged food industries, traders and international importers of dehydrated products.
As such, we are deeply connected with the branded packaged food industry and this accounted for 66.15 % of our revenue
in Financial Year 2025. Our products find wide application as raw materials in the fast moving consumer goods
(“FMCG”) industry, for products such as cup noodles, ready to eat noodles, pasta, soup, etc. Our main products include
dehydrated carrot, dehydrated cabbage and dehydrated ring beans / beans. Over the years, we have crafted a sustainable
as well as an integrated business model wherein we source our raw materials directly from farmers to ensure that we use
absolutely natural ingredients in our products. Since the farmers are located in close proximity to our manufacturing unit,
we have an advantage of procuring desired quantity of raw materials mainly being carrots, at cost competitive prices and
low logistical costs. Since, we source our raw materials directly from the farmers, we are able to offer our products at a
lower range than our competitors, thereby having a unique pricing model. Additionally, our tie-ups with farmers enable
us to procure vegetables, especially carrot in our warehouse, and sell the under-utilised raw materials, at higher prices in
the market and gain from the fluctuation in prices of the raw materials.
Our Company has a diversified customer portfolio for its products. Our customer base is divided into three categories
namely, institutional manufactures, Indian as well as foreign traders and international customers. Our customer base has
been described below:
• Institutional manufacturers: The sale of our products to institutional manufacturers constitutes our business to
business (B2B) model, wherein our Company processes and/or supplies dehydrated products as per the
specifications of renowned FMCG companies and food processing companies as per their specifications. We
generally supply dehydrated products to one of the leading FMCG companies headquartered in West Bengal, India
and to a domestic institutional packaged food manufacturer.
• Traders: We also sell our products to local as well as foreign traders, who further sell our products to domestic
institutional manufacturers or export our products to different geographies. Our local traders are concentrated in and
around Madhya Pradesh and typically sell our products to local manufacturer of FMCG companies. Further, our
foreign traders are located in United States of America and further sell our products to international manufacturers
of FMCG products, operating mainly in the Asian regions.
• International customers: Our Company exports its finished products to various intermediaries in United States of
America and has therefore established an indirect international presence for its products. Additionally, products
which do not qualify our quality requirements, are exported to different countries for manufacturing of pet food.
The sales and marking team of our Company has enabled us to create a separate distribution vertical wherein we
directly sell our products to international intermediaries and therefore reducing our dependence upon our trader
network.

Manufacturing of
Dehydrated Vegetables.
We adopt stringent quality control measures for our products. Given the high level of automation at our plant, we can
produce the desired quality consistently. The vegetables are tested at various stages from their procurement to dehydration
stage. In the dehydration stage, our team of experts supervises and check the colour and composition of the products to
ensure that the products are fit to be dispatched to our customers. Our teams also carry out checks to ensure that the
chemicals composition of the product matches the requirement of our customers, and the products are free from any
external biological elements such as, E-coli, bacteria, etc. Our industrial customers themselves have stringent quality
control requirements and perform regular audits of our facility. We have a strong focus on innovation in processes to
improve yields and reduce costs. The level of automation in our manufacturing unit has been provided below:
Description 2024-25 2023-2024 2022-2023
Level of Automation 85% 85% 85%
We hereby submit that the Company has conducted trial runs to test the manufacturing process and suitability of the
current equipment in the manufacturing. The samples which were manufactured were sent to the customers and the
Company observed certain shortcomings in the current equipment base. The Company is presently planning to modify
the equipment which suit the process required for new products. Upon completion of this, the Company will market
products and approach new customers for the same.
Strategically located manufacturing facility with modern infrastructure and integrated manufacturing facilities with
a core focus on quality.
Our strategically located multi-product manufacturing unit manufactures products close to our suppliers and reduces our
costs of transportation by manufacturing almost all our product under one roof, thereby giving us an advantage over our
competitors. Our manufacturing unit is situated in District Dhar in Madhya Pradesh.
147In the year 2022, we had constructed an in-house cold storage in our manufacturing unit to increase our manufacturing
capacity by adding longevity to our storage process, and enabling storage of our finished products for a prolonged period
of time. Our captive cold storage has the ability to control temperature and humidity inside the storage chamber to store
fresh vegetables (raw material) as well as finished goods. Having storage on site reduces our logistics cost and also
provide ability to buy raw material in excess of requirement when prices of raw material are at lower end enabling us to
bring our average cost of procurement to lower side. Our investment in modern infrastructure and our ability to enhance
capacity utilization in excess of installed capacities in manufacturing results into economies of scale. We manufacture
multiple products under one roof in one of our manufacturing unit, which results in cost savings in terms of shared
overheads and resources across different product categories. It also reduces transportation costs and improves logistics
management as our dealers can place orders for multiple products from one manufacturing facility resulting in single
truck load delivery enabling them to replenish stocks at regular intervals.
Our Company produces dried vegetables by extracting moisture using a dryer. In October 2024 our Company had installed
an dewatering vibrating screen to remove moisture. This has helped in reducing the drying time for vegetables. Please
find below of moisture content and drying time of vegetables before and after installing dewatering vibrating screen:
Particulars* Before Installing Dewatering After Installing Dewatering
Vibrating Screen Vibrating Screen
Initial Moisture of Vegetables 98.0% 92.0%
before feeding to Dryer
Drying Time for Vegetables in 300-330 Minutes 250-280 Minutes
Dryer
*As certified by M/s J K Consultants, Independent Chartered Engineer, pursuant to its certificate dated July 15, 2025.
We believe that after installation of dewatering screen initial moisture of vegetables is reduced by 6% before feeding it
to dryer. This reduction of moisture reduces overall drying time of vegetables, leading to preservation of essential
nutrients of vegetables, leading to higher quality of products and increased efficiency of manufacturing process. Above
process has increased companies efficiency in producing dried vegetables. Apart from above machinery installation we
have also increased our infrastructure by building raw material shade for faster unloading of raw material and reducing
the waiting time of trucks in factory premises benefitting us in our operations.
Cost efficient sourcing and locational advantage
We believe that our cost-efficient manufacturing and supply chain management results in a significant reduction in our
operational costs. With our experience, we are able to time our procurement of raw materials source these materials at a
competitive price. The location of our current manufacturing unit gives us a significant competitive cost advantage in
terms of raw material sourcing, manufacturing and labour costs.
Well experienced management team with proven project management and implementation skills.
We are led by a group of individuals, having a background and experience in the FMCG industry. Our Promoters have
been associated with us since the inception and are actively involved in the strategic decision making for our Company,
pertaining to corporate and administrative affairs, financial operations, expansion activities, business development and
management of overall business. The team comprises of personnel having technical, operational and business
148development experience. We have employed suitable technical and support staff to manage key areas of activities allied
to operations. Our team is well qualified and experienced and has been responsible for the growth of our operations. We
believe the stability of our management team and the industry experience brought in coupled with their strong repute,
will enable us to continue to take advantage of future market opportunities and expand into new markets. For further
details of the educational qualifications and experience of our management team, our Key Managerial Personnel and
Senior Managerial Personnel please refer the chapter titled “Our Management” beginning on page 174 of this Prospectus.
OUR BUSINESS STRATEGIES
Increasing our manufacturing capacity to focus on the growing demand of our core products
We have over the years increased our production capacities through consistent growth and innovation. During the year
2014, our Promoters incorporated our Company and in the year 2015, we established a manufacturing unit with a semi-
automatic line and a small dryer, for processing and manufacturing dehydrated vegetables. In 2019, we automated the
existing manufacturing unit by replacing the semi-automatic line with an automatic process line. We also installed an in-
house meyer color sorter machine for improving quality of our products. In the year 2022, with the aim of expanding our
manufacturing capacity, we had installed an additional vegetable processing line to increase production and set up an
additional food dehydration and processing line in our manufacturing unit. We further expanded our manufacturing
capacity and increased our ability to store and process raw materials and finished products, by establishing an in-house
cold storage in our manufacturing unit. We believe that our strong presence in the Indian market positions us well to
capitalise on the anticipated growth in demand of our core products. We intend to expand the manufacturing capacity by
adding new machinery to our existing manufacturing unit, which will increase the present capacity and enhance the
quality of our products. As part of such investment, we intend to incur expenditure towards purchase of new machinery
and equipment for our two production lines and also install solar rooftops from Net Proceeds of the Offer. The strategic
decision to add additional machinery, will increase our ability to cater to the expected increase in demand of our products.
We believe that our strategic decision to expand the capacity of our manufacturing unit will significantly increase our
product offering and we also expect to benefit from economies of scale. For further details, please refer to the chapter
titled “Objects of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus.
Addition of ‘dried papaya, dried beetroot and dried pumpkin’ as additional products
We intend to enter new product categories viz. dried papaya, dried beetroot and dried pumpkin for our institutional
customers. In accordance with this, while we seek to continue to strengthen our existing product portfolio, we intend to
further diversify into products with prospects for increased growth and profitability. We plan to continue to increase
offerings in our current business segments as well as diversify into new products by tapping into segments which in the
view of our management have attractive growth prospects. We believe that our emphasis on quality of manufacture and

Washed Carrot:
We usually store carrot in our cold storage to ensure timely availability of raw material during seasonal variations or
period during which the supply of carrot experiences a shortage. We further clarify that the process involved in processing
of washed carrot involves a number of steps and has been enumerated below for reference:
a) Carrots stored in cold storage are sent to the processing plant, for further processing;
b) Carrots are washed using water to remove dirt and debris;
c) These washed carrots pass through a sorting belt where are sorted according to size i.e., small broken pieces are
removed and sent to drying line for producing dried carrot, and other impurities are removed;
d) Washed carrot obtained from above process after removing broken pieces are polished using brush peelers to remove
fibre;
e) Good quality washed carrot are packed and sent to traders and further processors.
Our Company has adopted a zero-wastage policy to ensure efficient resource utilization, wherein, unutilized raw
materials, such as carrots, are sold to capitalise market fluctuations. Sale of such products are categorised as ‘carrots’
in the revenue bifurcation.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Raw material procurement
Our Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing dehydrated vegetables. We typically purchase our raw
materials, mainly being fresh vegetables from local farmers or mandis or agricultural produce marketing committee
(“APMC”) located in various states. The details of the raw materials required and the source of their procurement has
been provided below:
Raw Material Source of procurement
Carrot Local farmers and traders
Cabbage Brokers of various APMC mainly Nasik and Chhindwara
French beans Brokers of various APMC mainly Amritsar and Chhindwara
Dextrose Monohydrate Traders based in Indore
Bio coal Traders based in Indore
Packaging Material Various manufacturers from Indore
RAW MATERIAL PROCUREMENT PROCESS
We procure carrots directly from farmers located in close proximity to our manufacturing unit. We therefore easily
approach such farmers for procurement of raw materials at cost competitive prices and low logistical costs. We procure
our other main raw materials, being cabbage and French beans through APMCs in Nasik, Amritsar and Chhindwara. We
purchase raw materials through brokers operating in these APMCs, who purchase the materials on our behalf and then
transport the same to us through surface transportation. Other ancillary raw materials such as dextrose monohydrate, bio
coal and packaging material are procured locally through traders.

Incoming of raw materials (fresh vegetables) purchased from mandi/farmers at factory: The manufacturing process
starts with purchase of fresh vegetables, mainly, carrots, beans and cabbage. The raw materials are brought to our
manufacturing unit and inspected by our Quality Team to check the colour, texture, aroma, visual appearance, defects or
worms in the vegetables.
Washing of vegetables to remove impurities: Vegetables are washed in our in-house washers to remove impurities and
prepare the vegetables for dehydration process.
Feeding of vegetables in the snipping machines/ brush peeler and drum washer: Owing to the texture of carrots, we
further wash them in a barrel washer to further clean the carrots. Post cleaning of vegetables, we feed carrots into the
brush peeler machine and beans into a snipper to dice carrots and remove the outer coating of beans.
Dicing and cutting of vegetables using advance machines from urschel and fam: Post dicing of vegetables, our Quality
Team inspects the vegetables to check for quality of dicing, colour of vegetables, texture, etc. This step ensures that the
semi-finished product is of good quality and can be processes further in the manufacturing process.
Blanching and cooking of vegetables in continuous blancher: We have installed specialised machinery in our
manufacturing unit where vegetables are cooked and blanched, as per the requirements of our customers, The cooking
conditions depend on the end use of the product by our customers, and therefore are customised accordingly.
Inspection and cooling belt: Since, our Quality Team conducts testing at each step of the manufacturing process, cooked
and blanched vegetables are inspected to check the visual appearance, color, aroma, taste and texture. This test helps our
teams to differentiate A grade product from B grade products. A grade products are further processed until packaging for
our key institutions customers and B grade products are separated to be sent for manufacturing of animal feed. While, the
inspection is carried out the cooked vegetables are cooled down to prepare for further processing.
Automatic sugar addition mixer: Based on the requirement of our customers, and depending on the amount they wish to
spend on our products, we add dextrose monohydrate process in our products to remove water from the product and
further process the vegetables for dehydration.
Continuous drying of vegetables: Upon addition of additives, we subject the semi-finished vegetables to hot air, in our
specialised dryers for five to six hours to remove moisture and dehydrate the vegetables fully.
153Further drying in bin dryers for achieving desired moisture: In order to ensure complete removal of moisture and avoid
contamination risks, we further dry the vegetables in bi dryers using the centrifugal process, to remove any leftover
moisture.
Packaging: Based on the delivery requirements, the products are either sent for packaging or are stored in the cold storage
as stock. Packaging involves multiple steps including, grading of material according to size and removing of undersize
or oversize material, color sorting to remove discolor, foreign material and stems and tests for metal detection. Once the
aforementioned steps are completed, our teams starts packaging of products. The packaging of our products is standard
in nature and is undertaken in small bags which are then packed in cartons and shipped to the customer. In certain cases,
we also commission third party testing reports prior to dispatch, based on the requirements of our customers.

that the label must be provided to the consumer through appropriate means before sale.
• Where an ingredient is itself the product of two or more ingredients, such a compound ingredient must be declared,
by their specific names; in the list of ingredients, or by declaring all of the ingredients of compound ingredient as if
they were individual ingredients of the final food. Where a compound ingredient constitutes less than 5 per cent. of
the food, the ingredients, other than food additives that serve the technological function in the food products, the same
is not required to be declared.
• Every package of food material which is not meant for human consumption shall bear a declaration to this effect by
162a specified symbol of a black colour cross inside a square with black outline.
• In case of alcoholic beverages, a declaration is required to be provided on the label providing the details of the

“Imported and Bottled by”, or “Distilled and Bottled by”.
• The FSSAI logo and license number of the brand owner must be displayed on the label. In addition, the license number
of the manufacturer or marketer or packer or bottler, as the case may be, if different from the brand owner, must also
be displayed on the label. For imported food products, the importer must display FSSAI logo and license number
along with name and address of importer.
• FBOs must display on all their premises, where food is stored, processed, distributed or sold, the Registration/License
No. or Food Safety Display Board if specified, along with other information as may be specified by the FSSAI at a

Legal Metrology Act, 2009 (“Legal Metrology Act”)
The Legal Metrology Act came into effect on January 13, 2010 and has repealed and replaced the Standards of Weights
and Measures Act, 1976 and the Standards of Weights and Measures (Enforcement) Act, 1985. The Legal Metrology
Act seeks to establish and enforce standards of weights and measures, regulate trade and commerce in weights,
measures and other goods which are sold or distributed by weight, measure or number and for matters connected
therewith or incidental thereto. The Legal Metrology Act provides that for prescribed specifications for 162 all weights
and measures used by an entity to be based on metric system based on the international system of units only.
Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Amendment Rules, 2017 (“Packaged Commodity Rules”)
The Packaged Commodity Rules have amended the Legal metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, and lays
down specific provisions applicable to packages intended for retail sale, whole-sale and for export and import.
Pursuant to the packaged Commodity Rules, any pre-packaged commodity sold for use and consumption by the
citizens must properly mention several details such as, the description and quantity of ingredients, date of
manufacturing, date of expiry (for items prone to expiration), weight, statutory warnings, manufacturer address,
contact and some other info like consumer care details, country of origin, etc.
Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976
The Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976 (the “Act”) was enacted to regulate trade or commerce in weights,
measures and other goods which are sold or distributed by weight, measure or number and to provide for such matters
as may be connected thereto. The Act enumerates the specific base units to measure goods and products. Any offence
under this Act is punishable with imprisonment or fine or with both based on the type of violation.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (“HACCP”)
The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points system is a systematic and preventive approach crucial for ensuring
food safety. HACCP is a management system in which food safety is addressed through the analysis and control of
biological, chemical, and physical hazards from raw material production, procurement and handling, to
manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. By systematically analyzing and addressing
critical control points, such as specific stages in the production process where hazards could arise, HACCP enables
dairy processing companies to proactively mitigate risks and uphold the safety and quality of their products.
Compliance with HACCP principles is not only a regulatory requirement in many jurisdictions but also a
fundamental practice for safeguarding consumer health and maintaining the reputation of dairy products in the
market. Dairy processing companies must adhere to the principles of HACCP to establish a robust food safety
management system. The HACCP plan involves a step-by-step analysis, encompassing hazard identification,
determination of critical control points, establishment of critical limits, implementation of monitoring procedures,
and the development of corrective actions in case deviations occur. This systematic and preventive approach not
only ensures the safety of dairy products but also enhances overall quality control. By adopting HACCP, dairy
processing companies can systematically evaluate and control potential biological, chemical, and physical hazards
163that may arise during various stages of production. This includes examining factors such as raw material handling,
processing, packaging, and distribution. The proactive nature of HACCP allows companies to identify potential risks
before they become hazards, enabling timely interventions to maintain product safety and integrity. HACCP
implementation is often seen as a best practice in the food industry, demonstrating a commitment to quality assurance
and consumer safety. Many regulatory authorities and international food safety standards require or recommend
HACCP as a mandatory element of food safety management systems.
The Agricultural and Processed Foods Products Export Development Authority Act, 1985 (the “APEDA Act”)
The APEDA Act provides for establishment of Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development

concern basis using the accrual system of accounting in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted
in India (Indian GAAP) and the requirements of the Companies Act, including the Accounting Standards as prescribed
by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2014 as per section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.
All amount disclosed in Financials Statement and notes have been rounded off to the nearest lakhs (except earnings
per share) as per the requirement of Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statement of the company has been prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting

Companies Act, 2013, read with Rule 7 of the Companies Accounting Rules, 2014 and the relevant provisions of the
Companies Act ("the 2013Act"), 2013. The financial statements have been prepared on accrual basis under the
historical cost convention. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent
with those followed in the previous year.
2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statement in conformity with the GAAP requires estimates and assumption to be made
that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying
financial statement are based upon management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as on the date of
financial statements. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the accompanying financial
statements. Difference between the actual result and estimates are recognized in the year in which the results are
known or materialized.
3. PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are stated at their cost of acquisition or construction less accumulated
depreciation. The Company capitalizes all costs relating to the acquisition and installation of Fixed Assets.
200Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the company.
4. DEPRECIATION
The Company computes depreciation for all tangible fixed assets using the straight line based on estimated useful
lives after retaining a residual value of 5% for all the assets. Depreciation is charged on a pro-rata basis from the date
of installation till the date the assets are sold or disposed. In view of management, the useful life of the tangible fixed

such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. If such recoverable amount of the
asset or the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is less than its carrying amount,
the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount and the reduction is treated as an impairment loss and is
recognized in the profit & loss account. If at the balance sheet date there is an indication that a previously assessed
impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable amount is reassessed and the asset is reflected at the recoverable
amount subject to a maximum of depreciated historical cost and is accordingly reversed in the profit & loss account

assurance that the same will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with if any.

the Statement of Profit & Loss for the year.
Defined Benefits Plans
The cost of the defined benefit plan and other post-employment benefits and the present value of such obligation are
determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ
from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases,
mortality rates and future pension increases. Due to the complexities involved in the valuation and its long-term nature,
202a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each
reporting date.

of these benefits is calculated using the Projected Unit Credit Method and spread over the period during which the
benefit is expected to be derived from employees' services

disallowances and exemptions in accordance with the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Deferred taxation
The deferred tax charge or credit and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized using the tax
rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax assets are recognized only
to the extent there is reasonable certainty that the asset can be realized in future; however, where there is unabsorbed
depreciation or carried forward loss under taxation laws, deferred tax assets are recognized only if there is a virtual
certainty of realization of the assets. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down or
written-up to reflect the amount that is reasonably / virtually certain (as the case may be) to be realized.
Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) credit
MAT credit asset is recognized where there is convincing evidence that the asset can be realized in future. MAT
credit assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date and written down or written up to reflect the amount that is
reasonably certain to be realized.

outflow of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. A disclosure for a contingent
liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that may, but probably will not, require an
outflow of resources. When there is a possible obligation or a present obligation in respect of which the likelihood of
outflow of resources is remote, no provision or disclosure is made.
Provisions are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. If it is no longer
probable that the outflow of resources would be required to settle the obligation, the provision is reversed.
Contingent assets are not recognized in the financial statements. However, contingent assets are assessed continually
and if it is virtually certain that an economic benefit will arise, the asset and related income are recognized in the
period in which the change occurs.
Loss contingencies arising from claims, litigation, assessment, fines, penalties, etc. are recorded when it is probable
that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Founded in 2014, our Company is a manufacturer and processer of dehydrated vegetables, serving leading institutional
manufacturers engaged in branded packaged food industries, traders and international importers of dehydrated products.
As such, we are deeply connected with the branded packaged food industry and this accounted for 66.15 % of our revenue
in Financial Year 2025. Our products find wide application as raw materials in the fast moving consumer goods
(“FMCG”) industry, for products such as cup noodles, ready to eat noodles, pasta, soup, etc. Our main products include
dehydrated carrot, dehydrated cabbage and dehydrated ring beans / beans. Over the years, we have crafted a sustainable
as well as an integrated business model wherein we source our raw materials directly from farmers to ensure that we use
absolutely natural ingredients in our products. Since the farmers are located in close proximity to our manufacturing unit,
we have an advantage of procuring desired quantity of raw materials mainly being carrots, at cost competitive prices and
low logistical costs. Since, we source our raw materials directly from the farmers, we are able to offer our products at a
lower range than our competitors, thereby having a unique pricing model. Additionally, our tie-ups with farmers enable
us to procure vegetables, especially carrot in our warehouse, and sell the under-utilised raw materials, at higher prices in
the market and gain from the fluctuation in prices of the raw materials.
Our Company has a diversified customer portfolio for its products. Our customer base is divided into three categories
namely, institutional manufactures, Indian as well as foreign traders and international customers. Our customer base has
been described below:
• Institutional manufacturers: The sale of our products to institutional manufacturers constitutes our business to
business (B2B) model, wherein our Company processes and/or supplies dehydrated products as per the
specifications of renowned FMCG companies and food processing companies as per their specifications. We
generally supply dehydrated products to one of the leading FMCG companies headquartered in West Bengal, India
and to a domestic institutional packaged food manufacturer.
• Traders: We also sell our products to local as well as foreign traders, who further sell our products to domestic
institutional manufacturers or export our products to different geographies. Our local traders are concentrated in and
around Madhya Pradesh and typically sell our products to local manufacturer of FMCG companies. Further, our
foreign traders are located in United States of America and further sell our products to international manufacturers
of FMCG products, operating mainly in the Asian regions.
• International customers: Our Company exports its finished products to various intermediaries in United States of
America and has therefore established an indirect international presence for its products. Additionally, products
which do not qualify our quality requirements, are exported to different countries for manufacturing of pet food. The
sales and marking team of our Company has enabled us to create a separate distribution vertical wherein we directly
sell our products to international intermediaries and therefore reducing our dependence upon our trader network.
The revenue earned from the sale of our products, through institutional customers, traders and international customers
during the Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 have been provided below:

All our products are produced at our manufacturing facility, located in District Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, with a production
capacity of approximately 1500 MT for all our dehydrated products, divided into two facilities. This enables us to have
an effective control over the manufacturing process and to ensure consistent quality of our products. Our Company
operates under the guidance of our Promoters, Raghav Somani and Priya Somani, who have a long standing experience
in the food dehydration and food processing industry. During the year 2014, our Promoters incorporated our Company
and in the year 2015, we established a manufacturing unit with a semi-automatic line and a small dryer, for processing
and manufacturing dehydrated vegetables. In 2019, we automated the existing manufacturing unit by replacing the semi-
automatic line with an automatic process line. We also installed an in-house meyer color sorter machine for improving
quality of our products. In the year 2022, with the aim of expanding our manufacturing capacity, we had installed an
additional vegetable processing line to increase production and set up an additional food dehydration and processing line
in our manufacturing unit. We further expanded our manufacturing capacity and increased our ability to store and process
raw materials and finished products, by establishing an in-house cold storage in our manufacturing unit. We wish to
enhance our existing manufacturing process and increase our manufacturing capacity by utilising ₹ 646.27 lakhs from the
Net Proceeds towards installing additional machinery in both of our production lines. For further details, please see
“Objects of the Offer” on page 96 of this Prospectus.

the company changed its policy and began supplying to a wider range of traders and manufacturers, leading to
a significant increase in the number of clients from 10 to 82.

Phased implementation of Unified Payments Interface
SEBI issued UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of equity shares and convertibles.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, UPI has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment mechanism (in addition to
mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under ASBA) for applications by IIs through
intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six Working Days
to upto three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure
complete and smooth transition to the UPI Mechanism, the UPI Circulars proposes to introduce and implement the UPI
Mechanism in three phases in the following manner:
a) Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 01, 2019 and lasted till June 30, 2019. Under this phase, a
Individual Investor, besides the modes of Bidding available prior to the UPI Circulars, also had the option to submit
278the Bid cum Application Form with any of the intermediary and use his / her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking
of funds. The time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be six Working Days.
b) Phase II: This phase commenced with effect from July 01, 2019 and will continue for a period of three months or
floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. Under this phase, submission of the Bid cum
Application Form by a Individual Investor through intermediaries to SCSBs for blocking of funds has been
discontinued and has been replaced by the UPI Mechanism. However, the time duration from public issue closure
to listing continues to be six Working Days during this phase. SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 extended the timeline for implementation of UPI Phase
II till further notice.
c) Phase III/T+3: This phase has become applicable on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after September
1, 2023 and on a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023 vide T+3 Press Release. In
this phase, the time duration from public issue closure to listing has been reduced to three Working Days. The Offer
shall be undertaken pursuant to the processes and procedures as notified in the T+3 Press Release as applicable,
subject to any circulars, clarification or notification issued by SEBI from time to time, including any circular,
clarification or notification which may be issued by SEBI.
Pursuant to the UPI Circular, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for applications
that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circular include, appointment of a nodal
officer by the SCSB and submission of their details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs to send SMS alerts for the
blocking and unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit details of cancelled, withdrawn or
deleted applications, and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful Bidders to be unblocked not later than
one day from the date on which the Basis of Allotment is finalized. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline
would result in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant securities law. Additionally, if there is any delay in the
redressal of investors complaints in this regard, the relevant SCSB as well as the post – Offer BRLM will be required to
compensate the concerned investor.
All SCSBs offering the facility of making applications in public issues shall also provide the facility to make application
using UPI. The Company wasrequired to appoint one of the SCSBs as a Sponsor Bank to act as a conduit between the
Stock Exchanges and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and/ or payment instructions of the Individual
Investors using the UPI.
The processing fees for applications made by Individual Investors using the UPI Mechanism may be released to the
remitter banks (SCSBs) only after such banks provide a written confirmation on compliance with SEBI Circular No:
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/P/CIR/2021/570 dated June 02, 2021 read with SEBI Circular No:

309RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES

caps, entry routes and other sectoral regulations. At present 100 % foreign direct investment through automatic route
is permitted in the sector in which our Company operates. Therefore applicable foreign investment up to 100% is
permitted in our company under automatic route.
In case of investment in sectors through Government Route approval from competent authority as mentioned in Chapter
4 of the FDI Policy 2017 has to be obtained by the Company. The transfer of shares between an Indian resident to a
non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, subject to fulfilment of certain conditions as specified by

the Government as per the extant FDI policy provided that: a) the requisite approval of the Government has been
obtained; and b) the transfer of shares adheres with the pricing guidelines and documentation requirements as specified
by the Reserve Bank of India from time to time.; (ii) where the transfer of shares attract SEBI (SAST) Regulations

India from time to time.; (iii)where the transfer of shares does not meet the pricing guidelines under the FEMA, 1999
provided that: a) The resultant FDI is in compliance with the extant FDI policy and FEMA regulations in terms of
sectoral caps, conditionalities (such as minimum capitalization, etc.), reporting requirements, documentation etc.; b)
