In this Red Herring Prospectus, any discrepancies in any table between the total and the sums of the amounts listed are due to
rounding off. All figures in decimals have been rounded off to the second decimal place and all percentage figures have been
rounded off to two decimal places. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources
are rounded off to other than two decimal points in their respective sources, such figures appear in this Red Herring Prospectus
as rounded-off to such number of decimal points as provided in such respective sources.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, or ratios (excluding certain operational metrics), relation to
the financial information of our Company as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 33, 176 and 333 respectively, and elsewhere in this Red
Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis of amounts derived from our Restated Financial Information.
28Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain non-GAAP financial measures relating to our financial performance, namely EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin,
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Capital employed and Return on Capital Employed , PAT Margin , Net Worth
and Return on Net Worth (%), Net Asset Value per Equity Share, and Net working capital days (together, “Non-GAAP
Measures”), presented in this Red Herring Prospectus is a supplemental measure of our performance and liquidity that is not
required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. Further, EBITDA, and EBITDA
Margin is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and
should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/(loss) for the period/years or any other
measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated
by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. In addition,
Non-GAAP Measures are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison of Non-GAAP Measures between companies may
not be possible. Other companies may calculate the Non-GAAP Measure differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a
comparative measure. For further details, see “Risk Factors – We have included in this Red Herring Prospectus certain non-
GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-
GAAP measures and industry measures may vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry, and
therefore may not be comparable with financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed
and presented by other companies”, “Other Financial Information” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 58, 330 and 333 respectively.
Currency and Units of Presentation
All references to:
• “Rupees” or “₹” or “INR” or “Rs.” are to Indian Rupees, the official currency of the Republic of India; and
• “USD” or “US$” or “$” are to United States Dollar, the official currency of the United States of America.
Our Company has presented certain numerical information in this Red Herring Prospectus in “million” units or in whole
numbers where the numbers have been too small to represent in millions. One million represents 1,000,000, one billion
represents 1,000,000,000 and one trillion represents 1,000,000,000,000. One lakh represents 100,000 and one crore represents
10,000,000. However, where any figures that may have been sourced from third-party industry sources are expressed in
denominations other than millions, such figures appear in this Red Herring Prospectus in such denominations as provided in
the respective sources.

30FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. All statements contained in this Red Herring
Prospectus that are not statements of historical fact constitute “forward-looking statements”. All statements regarding our
expected financial condition and results of operations, business, plans and prospects are “forward-looking statements”.
These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”,
“expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “likely to”, “seek to”, “shall”, “objective”, “plan”, “project”, “propose”, “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 whether made by us or any third parties in this
Red Herring Prospectus are based on our current plans, estimates, presumptions and expectations and 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, including but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to the industry 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 and globally, which
have an impact on our 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 and international laws, regulations and taxes and changes in
competition in our industry.
Certain important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Our business and results of operations are significantly dependent on our “Wakefit” brand, under which we offer a wide
range of products, including mattresses, furniture, and furnishings, and any impairment, dilution or damage to our brand
in any manner may adversely affect our business reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
• We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our mattress product category. Our revenue from the sale of mattresses
accounted for 60.65%, 61.35%, 57.54% and 63.50%, of our revenue from operations in six months period ended September
30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any shifts in consumer preferences, any disruption in the supply
chain, or heightened competition could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
• A significant portion of our revenues is derived from the sale of products through our own channels. Our sales from our
own channels (i.e., website and COCO – Regular Stores) accounted for 64.91%, 56.97%, 58.30% and 57.50%, of our
revenue from operations in six months period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Any disruption to our website, whether due to technical issues, cyber-attacks, or changes in consumer behaviour or any
disruption to the operations of our stores or limitations on our ability to expand and grow these stores may adversely affect
our sales, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
• We have incurred losses in the past and we may continue to incur losses in the future.
• Our Company, Directors, Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management are and may be involved in
certain legal and regulatory proceedings. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
• We have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in Fiscal 2023. We may continue to have negative cash
flows in the future.
.
• We rely on third party logistics service providers to transport our products, and any disruption in our transportation
arrangements or increases in transportation costs may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
• Failure to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a timely manner, or at
all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
• If we fail to protect or incur significant costs in defending our intellectual property or if we infringe the intellectual property
rights of others, our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
• We do not have long term agreements with suppliers for our raw materials and an increase in the cost of or a shortfall in
the availability of such raw materials could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
31Certain information in “Industry Overview”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 145, 176, and 333 respectively, of this Red Herring Prospectus have been
obtained from the Redseer Report. The Redseer Report is available on the website of our Company at www.wakefit.co/investor-
relations.
For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from the expectations, see “Risk Factors”, “Our
Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 33, 176
and 333, respectively. 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 future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have been
estimated and are not a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect current views of our Company as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus and are not a
guarantee of future performance. There can be no assurance to 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 to be a guarantee of our future performance.
These statements are based on our management’s belief and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available
information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-looking statements are based on 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, nor our Promoters, Directors, KMPs, any of the Selling Shareholders, the Syndicate or 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.

Internal Risk Factors
1. Our business and results of operations are significantly dependent on our “Wakefit” brand, under which we offer a
wide range of products, including mattresses, furniture, and furnishings, and any impairment, dilution or damage to
our brand in any manner may adversely affect our business reputation, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.
We sell our products under the “Wakefit” brand. The brand image is a critical factor influencing customer purchasing decisions.
Consequently, our success is contingent upon, among other factors, market recognition and acceptance of the “Wakefit” brand
and the lifestyle associated with the brand, as well as our ability to maintain and enhance the value and reputation of the
“Wakefit” brand, some aspects of which may be beyond our control. To effectively promote the “Wakefit” brand, it is
imperative that we build and sustain the brand image through a variety of promotional and marketing activities aimed at
increasing brand awareness and enhancing brand presence. The table below sets forth our advertisement and business promotion
33expenses as a percentage of our revenue from operations in the period/ years indicated:
Particulars Six months period ended Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal
September 30, 2025 2025 2024 2023
Advertisement and business promotion (₹ million) 368.91 963.25 773.64 959.09
Advertisement and business promotion as a percentage of 5.10% 7.56% 7.84% 11.80%
Revenue from operations
Advertisement and business promotion as a percentage of Total 4.98% 7.38% 7.60% 11.70%
Income
Several factors, some of which are beyond our control, may adversely impact the “Wakefit” brand image if not properly
managed. These factors include any failure in our ability to, deliver quality products to our customers, effectively execute
marketing and promotional activities, manage relationships with and among our customers, address complaints and incidents
of negative publicity, and maintain a positive perception of our Company. A decline in product quality may erode customer
trust and lead to negative reviews, damaging our reputation. Any actual or perceived decline in the quality of our products could
result in the loss of customers. Negative publicity concerning our Company, products, operations, Directors, senior
management, or employees could adversely affect customer perception of the “Wakefit” brand, damage our corporate
reputation, and lead to decreased demand for our products. We are also exposed to potential risks arising from our collaborations
with social media influencers and celebrities. Any negative impacts on their personal reputation can rapidly escalate on social
media, which may impact our brand image, consumer trust, and market position. While we have not experienced any negative
publicity in the six months period ended September 30, 2025, and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that we will not face any negative
publicity in the future. Our brand and reputation could also be adversely impacted by duplicates or counterfeits, passing-off
their products under the same brand name as us or which copy the “Wakefit” brand without permission. While we have not
experienced any instances of duplicates or counterfeits of our products in the six months period ended September 30, 2025, and
in the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows,
we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future. Any impact on our ability to continue to promote the
“Wakefit” brand or any significant damage to the “Wakefit” brand image could adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial conditions and cash flows. See, “- If we fail to protect or incur significant costs in defending our intellectual
property or if we infringe the intellectual property rights of others, our business, results of operation, financial condition and
cash flows could be adversely affected.” on page 39.
2. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our mattress product category. Our revenue from the sale of
mattresses accounted for 60.65%, 61.35%, 57.54% and 63.50%, of our revenue from operations in six months period
ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any shifts in consumer preferences, any
disruption in the supply chain, or heightened competition could adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.
We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our mattress product category. Our sale of mattresses is dependent on a
number of factors, and may decline as a result of increased competition, pricing pressures arising out of increase in raw material
costs or fluctuations in the demand for or supply of our products and other factors outside our control. Our results of operations
are dependent on our ability to attract customers by anticipating and responding to changes in customer preferences, and
modifying our existing mattress products in line with changes in customer demands and preferences. The table below sets forth
details of our revenues from the sale of our product categories in the period/ years indicated:
Product Six months period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

Factors that may affect customer perception of our products include trends in the home and furnishing sector, preferences for
more sustainable and eco-friendly materials, and concerns regarding the health effects experienced by consumers due to the use
of our mattresses or furnishing products. In the past, we have received two consumer notices from individuals seeking damages
for health issues such as back pain and body pain, allegedly resulting from the use of our mattresses. In response to these notices,
we have promptly provided detailed replies addressing the concerns raised. Subsequent to the issuance of our replies, the
consumers have not provided any further communication, and the matters have been considered closed. Any decrease in demand
for our products or our failure to anticipate, identify, or react to changes in these trends, changing consumer preferences and
fluctuations in consumer spending patterns could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and
34cash flows. If we are unable to anticipate and gauge customer preferences, or if we are unable to adapt to such changes in a
timely basis or at all, we may lose or fail to attract customers, our mattress inventory may become obsolete and we may be
subject to pricing pressure to sell such inventory at a discount. While we have not faced any instances of our mattress inventory
becoming obsolete in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact
on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not
occur in the future.
Further, the Government of India may implement new laws or other regulations and policies in relation to the products which
we sell, which could lead to new compliance requirements which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. For example, the Furniture (Quality Control) Order, 2025 was notified on
February 13, 2025 and will be effective from February 13, 2026. As per the Furniture (Quality Control) Order, 2025, compliance
with BIS standards and obtaining the relevant certification have become mandatory for the sale of specified furniture products,
including work chairs, general purpose chairs and stools, tables and desks, storage units, beds and bunk beds. The bureau under
the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in India will have the authority to certify some of the specified furniture products which
are currently being manufactured and retailed by our Company. Any non-compliance with these regulations could result in
legal penalties and restrictions on sales, which could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. Further, any similar directive, if issued for mattresses, could result in increased compliance costs.
These costs could stem from having to modify our production processes, invest in new technologies, obtain necessary
certificates or undergo additional quality checks to meet the new standards which could have an adverse impact on our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
3. A significant portion of our revenues is derived from the sale of products through our own channels. Our sales from
our own channels (i.e., website and COCO – Regular Stores) accounted for 64.91%, 56.97%, 58.30% and 57.50%, of
our revenue from operations in six months period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Any disruption to our website, whether due to technical issues, cyber-attacks, or changes in consumer
behaviour or any disruption to the operations of our stores or limitations on our ability to expand and grow these stores
may adversely affect our sales, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
A significant portion of our revenues is derived from the sale of products through our own channels (i.e., website and COCO –
Regular Stores). The table below sets forth a breakdown of revenue generated from multiple sales channels for the period/years
indicated:

*Our own channels include our website and COCO – Regular Stores.
**Others include marketplaces and MBOs.
+ Marketplaces include e-commerce platforms and quick commerce platforms.
^ MBOs refers to outlets where multiple brands products are sold and the same are operated by third parties.
Technical issues in relation to our website such as server downtime, software bugs, or inadequate website performance can
hinder customer access and transactions, leading to potential loss of sales. For instance, server downtime can prevent customers
from accessing our website, resulting in missed sales opportunities and potential loss of customer trust. Software bugs can
disrupt the functionality of our website, causing frustration for customers and potentially driving them to competitors.
Inadequate website performance, such as slow loading times or poor user interface design, can negatively impact the customer
experience, reducing the likelihood of repeat purchases. Shifts in consumer behaviour, such as changes in online shopping
preferences or reduced trust in e-commerce, could negatively impact our online sales. Additionally, our website is managed by
a dedicated in-house team. Any loss of manpower within this team could adversely affect our website operations, which could
lead to a decline in customer satisfaction. Our website is also prone to cyber-attacks, including data breaches and hacking
attempts, which pose significant risks to the security and integrity of our online platform. Data breaches can result in the
unauthorized access to sensitive customer information, leading to financial losses, legal liabilities, and damage to our reputation.
In the past, we experienced a sudden surge in traffic on our website, which led to a suboptimal experience for our customers.
While this incident did not have any material impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows,
we cannot assure you that similar incidents will not arise in the future and will not have any impact on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, while we have not faced any disruptions to our website due to cyber-
attacks, data breaches, or software bugs in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which
35had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, any occurrence of the aforesaid
could affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We depend on our COCO – Regular Stores and may depend on our COCO – Jumbo Stores, once operational, to derive growth
in our sales, revenue from operations, profitability and brand awareness. Our existing COCO Stores may not achieve our
expected level of profitability which may adversely affect our business prospects, financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows. The table below sets forth the number of COCO – Regular Stores operated by us as of the dates indicated:
Particulars As of six months As of March 31, 2025 As of March 31, 2024 As of March 31, 2023
period ended
September 30, 2025
Number of COCO – Regular Stores 125 105 56 23
as at the end of the relevant period
We cannot assure you that current locations of COCO – Regular Stores operated by us will continue to be attractive or profitable
as demographic patterns change, or as leases/licenses are renewed/extended on terms less favourable to us. Neighbourhood or
economic conditions where our COCO – Regular Stores are located could deteriorate in the future, thus resulting in reduced
sales in those locations. Alternatively, neighbourhoods could continue to improve and escalate real estate prices, which may
not be proportionate to the sales we are able to carry out. In the event real estate prices increase or if we are unable to renew
lease/leave and license agreements for our existing COCO – Regular Stores on terms favourable to us, such store locations may
not be profitable for our business, and we may be compelled to reassess the feasibility of such stores. Further, our future revenue
growth depends upon the successful operation of our COCO Stores, the efficiency of our supply chain management systems
and the successful management of our sales, marketing, and support and service teams in various states across India where our
customers are located. The expansion of our business may require that we establish COCO Stores and manage businesses in
widely disparate states with different statutory, legal and regulatory framework. In addition, we may be affected by various
factors inherent in carrying out business operations in several states in India, such as coordinating and managing operations in
several locations, including different political, economic and business conditions and labour laws and associated uncertainties,
exposure to different legal standards and enforcement mechanisms and compliance with regulations; and difficulties in staffing
and managing operations, including coordinating and interacting with our local representatives and business partners to fully
understand the local business and regulatory requirements. Any of these factors, alone or in combination, could adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial condition and prospects. Further, as we expand our network of COCO Stores,
we anticipate an increase in rent expenses. If we are unable to generate adequate revenues from new stores, the increased rent
expenses could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our COCO Stores may experience varying levels of revenue and sales performance due to factors such as location-specific
demand, seasonal trends, competitive dynamics, and economic conditions in the respective regions. Due to these factors, some
of our COCO Stores may outperform while others may underperform. A consistent decline in revenue from any particular
COCO Stores may necessitate their closure. Frequent closures may adversely affect brand perception and customer trust in the
affected regions, potentially resulting in a loss of customer loyalty. In the last three Fiscals and six months period ended
September 30, 2025, we have closed 13 COCO – Regular Stores. These closures were primarily due to low revenue generation
and/or the strategic relocation of these stores to other locations within same or similar catchment area. While we monitor the
performance of our COCO – Regular Stores and implement strategies to enhance their profitability, we cannot assure you that
future closures will not be necessary or that such actions will not have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations,
financial condition, and cash flows.
In addition, we derive a portion of our revenues from MBOs where multiple brands’ products are sold and the same are operated
by third parties. We cannot assure you that these MBOs will consistently meet our standards for customer service. If they fail
to do so, it could lead to customer dissatisfaction and negative reviews, which may in turn reduce our brand reputation and
sales. We may also not be able to provide the products as per their demand, which could result in potential damage to our
relationships with these MBOs.
4. We have incurred losses in the past and we may continue to incur losses in the future.
Our growth depends on several factors, including increased demand for our products, an increase in the overall market, and our
ability to capitalize on growth opportunities, among others. We have, in the past, incurred losses in our operations and we may
continue to incur losses in the future. The table below sets forth profit/(loss) for the period/ years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025
Profit/(loss) for the period/ 355.74 (350.04) (150.53) (1,456.83)
year (₹ million)
The losses in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023 were primarily due to our total expenses exceeding our total income. In
36particular, we have also incurred an increase in depreciation and amortisation expenses, amounting to ₹ 962.42 million, ₹ 638.89
million, ₹ 472.74 million in Fiscal 2025, Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, respectively, which is attributable to the expansion of
our manufacturing facilities, warehouse infrastructure, and COCO – Regular Store network. For more details, see
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Fiscal
2025 compared to Fiscal 2024” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
– Results of Operations – Fiscal 2024 compared to Fiscal 2023” on page 356 and 357, respectively. We have expended and
expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on, among others, advertising and business promotion
costs to attract customers. These efforts may be more costly than we expect and may not result in increased revenue or growth
in our business. Any failure to increase our revenue sufficiently to keep pace with our investments and other expenses could
prevent us from maintaining or increasing profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis. If we are unable to
successfully address these risks and challenges as we encounter them, our business, cash flows, financial condition and results
of operations could be adversely affected. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage our expenses and
cash flows, we may continue to incur significant losses in the future.
5. Our Company, Directors, Promoters, Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management are and may be involved in
certain legal and regulatory proceedings. Any adverse decision in such proceedings may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
There are outstanding legal and regulatory proceedings involving our Company and Directors which are pending at different
levels of adjudication before various courts, tribunals and other authorities. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have
been disclosed to the extent that such amounts are ascertainable and quantifiable and include amounts claimed jointly and
severally, as applicable. Any unfavourable decision in connection with such proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, could
adversely affect our reputation, continuity of our management, business, cash flows, financial condition and results of
operations. The summary of such outstanding material legal and regulatory proceedings as on the date of this Red Herring

We cannot assure you that any of these matters will be settled in favour of our Company or that no additional liability will arise
out of these proceedings. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may have an adverse effect on our business, financial
position, prospects, cash flows, results of operations and our reputation. For further information, see “Outstanding Litigation
and Other Material Developments” on page 366.
6. We have experienced negative cash flows from operating activities in Fiscal 2023. We may continue to have negative
cash flows in the future.
We have had negative cash flows from operating activities in Fiscal 2023, details of which are set out below:
37Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025
Net cash generated from/(used in) 787.97 766.70 805.93 (204.63)
operating activities (₹ million)
In Fiscal 2023, we experienced negative cash flows primarily due to loss before tax. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to generate positive cash flow from operating activities in the future. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cash Flows” on page 359.
7. We rely on third party logistics service providers to transport our products, and any disruption in our transportation
arrangements or increases in transportation costs may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
We rely on third party logistics service providers to transport our products between our manufacturing facilities and intermediate
delivery points such as our warehouses, retail stores and inventory holding points, or to transport some of our products to our
customers. We transport our finished products by road and sea. Transportation strikes may have an adverse effect on supplies
and deliveries to our customers. In addition, our products may be lost or damaged in transit for various reasons including
occurrence of accidents, natural disasters or adverse weather conditions. There may also be a delay in delivery of our products
which may also affect our business and results of operation negatively. Any failure to maintain continuous delivery of our
products to our customers in an efficient and reliable manner could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows. Any recompense received from insurers or third-party transportation providers may be
insufficient to cover the cost of any delays and will not repair damage to our relationships with our affected customers. We may
also be affected by an increase in fuel costs, as it will have a corresponding impact on courier and delivery charges, which could
have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. While we have not had
instances of delays in deliveries due to any disruption in our transportation arrangement or increases in transportation costs
which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you
that the same will not occur in the future. The table below sets forth details of courier and delivery charges, which is also
expressed as a percentage of our revenue from operations for the period/ years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025
Courier and delivery charges (₹ million) 599.66 1,015.92 821.87 658.60
Courier and delivery charges as a 8.28% 7.98% 8.33% 8.10%
percentage of Revenue from operations
8. Failure to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a timely manner,
or at all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We are required to obtain certain approvals, registrations, permissions and licenses from regulatory authorities, to undertake
our operations including environmental approvals, shops and establishments license, factory licenses and labour and tax related
approvals. For further information on the nature of approvals and licenses required for our business and details of their validity,
see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 373. These approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions may be subject
to numerous conditions. If we fail to obtain some or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner
or at all, or if we fail to comply with applicable conditions or it is claimed that we have breached any such conditions, our
license or permission for carrying on a particular activity may be suspended or cancelled and consequently we may not be able
to carry on such activity, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In the past, we have had an instance where our GST registration in Andhra Pradesh was suspended as the principal place of
business recorded in the registration certificate was not updated. However, the matter was resolved and the suspension was
subsequently revoked. Further, in the past we have received show cause notices under the provisions of the Water (Prevention
and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1982 dated February 21, 2025,
alleging inter alia delay in obtaining consent to operate for Manufacturing Facility V from the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control
Board (“TNPCB”), production of certain products not in accordance with the consent to establish and disposal of sewage by
the Company in the common STP without the consent of TNPCB. We have responded to the notices vide our reply dated April
2, 2025, clarifying to TNPCB that we have applied for the consent to operate for Manufacturing Facility V and our application
was pending for approval from the TNPCB. As on date, we have obtained the valid consent to operate from the TNPCB for
Manufacturing Facility V. In the consent to operate, we have also obtained the required consent to manufacture for all the
relevant products as required by the TNPCB. We cannot assure you that similar incidents will not arise in the future or any
further actions will not be taken against us in relation to such notices.
We have and may need to in the future, apply for certain additional approvals, including the renewal of approvals, which may
38expire from time to time. We have, inter alia, made applications for certain approvals which are pending as on the date of this
Red Herring Prospectus. For instance, we have applied for authorizations under the Hazardous & Other Wastes (Management
& Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, in relation to our Manufacturing Facility V, registration of establishment under the
respective state shops and establishment acts, trade licenses, under the respective municipal corporation acts for certain of our
COCO – Regular Stores. Certain of the approvals have expired, not renewed/obtained, or not applied for due to the Company’s
dependency on third parties, viz. lessors of the manufacturing facilities or retail stores or warehouses for some documents like
receipts of the latest property tax paid, or we have faced unforeseen website accessibility issue due to heavy web traffic due to
which we have been able to submit our renewal applications with a delay. For details, see “Government and Other Approvals”
on page 373. We cannot assure you that such approvals and licenses will be granted or renewed in a timely manner or will not
be cancelled or withdrawn by the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities. Failure to obtain or renew such approvals
and licenses in a timely manner would make our operations non-compliant with applicable laws and may result in the imposition
of penalties by relevant authorities and may also prevent us from carrying out our business.
9. If we fail to protect or incur significant costs in defending our intellectual property or if we infringe the intellectual
property rights of others, our business, results of operation, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely
affected.
As of the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we had registered 82 trademarks under class 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 21,
22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 28, 37, 41, 42, 43 with the Registrar of Trademarks under the Trademarks Act, 1999. Further, as of the date
of this Red Herring Prospectus, we have applied for 32 trademarks under classes 9, 10, 20, 24, 35, and 42 and one patent in
India which is pending approval. Further, we have registered one trademark in the United Kingdom, one trademark in Australia,
one trademark in Singapore and have made five applications outside India through the World Intellectual Property Organization
procedure, including Oman, Japan, USA, Canada and UAE which are currently pending. We have filed trademark applications
for our brand ‘Wakefit’ in such select high-growth economies, with a focus on English-speaking jurisdictions that also host
sizeable Indian diaspora. In addition, we also used our research of such high-growth markets which showed that their preferred
mattresses and bed linen could be met from our portfolio of products. Our choice of jurisdictions such as Oman, Japan,
Singapore and Canada are not tied to any planned market entries, and any future expansion of our business into these
jurisdictions would be based on our analysis of the future demand for our products in these markets.
For further details, see “Our Business – Intellectual Property” on page 212. Our future success depends, in part, on our ability
to protect these intellectual property and other proprietary rights that we may develop. We rely primarily on patents, trademarks
and anti-trust laws, as well as other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights.
Despite our efforts, we may be unable to prevent third parties from infringing upon or misappropriating our intellectual property
or otherwise gaining access to our technology. In the past, we have had instances where products were listed on certain online
platforms with names that infringed on our trademarks. To address this, we submitted ‘take-down’ requests to the relevant
online platforms, to ensure the protection of our intellectual property. Further, in the past, we identified certain trademark
applications that were similar to our registered trademarks. To address this, we issued cease and desist notices to the relevant
parties and also initiated opposition proceedings before the relevant authorities. Certain of our notices of opposition submitted
under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 continue to be pending before the relevant authorities. Further, we have also received notices
of opposition from third parties against certain marks that we intend to register as our trademark. We cannot assure you that the
aforesaid instances will not arise in the future. If we fail to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights, then
our business, results of operation and financial condition could be adversely affected.
While we ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot determine with certainty whether we
are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights. We have in the past and are currently subject to certain
proceedings initiated by third-parties, alleging infringement of their intellectual property. Further, we have received an email
notice from Snoozer Bedding Limited, dated November 14, 2024, alleging infringement of its registered trademark –
“ORTHOPEDIC” by our Company due to its use of this trademarked term and demanded the removal of the term
“ORTHOPEDIC” from all material available with our Company, our distributors and retailers, including but not restricted to
our Company’s stationery, catalogues, bill books, hoardings, packaging and promotional material including our Company’s
website and social media profiles on Instagram, Facebook and others. Our Company, responded vide a letter dated March 7,
2025 with reference number WFL/RCD/2024-25/005 and clarified that the term “ORTHOPEDIC” is a common term used in
the mattress industry and the use of this term aligns with legitimate trade practises. Further, the Company also highlighted that
this term is only descriptive in nature and is commonly used in trade by various entities in the mattress industry, thereby not
infringing upon the proprietary rights of the trademark holder. We have received no further communication from Snoozer
Bedding Limited in relation to this matter. Additionally, our Company received a cease-and-desist notice dated April 2, 2025
with reference number CG/AR/ST/178/2025 and April 25, 2025 with reference number CG/AR/ST/213/2025, alleging
infringement of intellectual property owned by Tips Films Limited in relation to an advertisement published by our Company.
It was alleged that the contents of a video advertisement published by our Company is identical to a scene in a film titled
“Soldier” that Tips Films Limited owns by way of various copyrights and other proprietary rights, and demanded that the
advertisement published by our Company to be removed from all offline and online mediums. Our Company responded to this
notice on April 30, 2025 and clarified that the advertisement is not similar to the film Soldier, and that the claims by Tips Films
Limited are unfounded by highlighting the distinctions in the two works of art. However, in order to facilitate amicable closure
39of this dispute, our Company agreed to remove the impugned advertisement from the Company’s platforms. Our Company
received a rejoinder notice from Tips Films Limited dated May 16, 2025 calling upon us to remove the publishing of the
impugned advertisement from all third-party webpages on social media platforms managed by third parties. Our Company
replied to this rejoinder notice on July 15, 2025 and has clarified that the advertisement has been removed from the Company’s
social media handles and the Company has no control over the presence of these advertisements on third party social media
handles. We have not received any further communication from Tips Films Limited in relation to this matter. Any such claims
of intellectual property infringement from third parties, regardless of merit or resolution of such claims, could force us to incur
significant costs in responding to, defending and resolving such claims, and may divert the efforts and attention of our
management and technical personnel away from our business. As a result of such infringement claims, we could be required to
pay third party infringement claims, alter our technologies, obtain licenses or cease some portions of our operations.
10. We do not have long term agreements with suppliers for our raw materials and an increase in the cost of or a shortfall
in the availability of such raw materials could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
Our primary raw materials are chemicals, natural wood, processed wood, fabrics, glue and metal goods. The cost of our products
is dependent on our ability to source these raw materials at acceptable prices and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of such
raw materials. The price and availability of raw materials are subject to volatility and unavailability caused by various external
conditions, including supply and demand dynamics, logistics and processing costs, our bargaining power with suppliers,
inflation, governmental regulations and policies, overall economic conditions, production levels, market demand and
competition for such materials, production, duties and taxes, and trade restrictions. The table below sets forth details of cost of
materials consumed by us in the period/years indicated:
Particulars Six months period ended September Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal
30, 2025 2025 2024 2023
Cost of materials consumed (₹ million) 3,382.33 5,817.61 4,639.71 4,717.11
Revenue from operations (₹ million) 7,240.03 12,736.91 9,863.53 8,126.20
Cost of materials consumed as a percentage of Revenue 46.72% 45.68% 47.04% 58.05%
from operations
We typically do not enter into long term supply contracts with any of the raw material suppliers and typically place orders with
them in advance of our anticipated requirements. 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 consumers. 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 on terms acceptable to us, may adversely affect our operations. While
we have not experienced material disruption in the supply of our raw materials in the six months period ended September 30,
2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows, we cannot assure you that such disruption will not occur in the future and if any such disruption occurs, such disruption
may result in unexpected increases in prices of our raw materials and packaging material costs.
We import certain of our raw materials, including toluene diisocyanate, polymer polyol, base polyol, cell opener and wood
from various countries such as the United States of America, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand.
The table below provides our cost of imported materials as a percentage of our total purchases of raw materials in the period/
years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025
Cost of imported materials (₹ 1,567.95 1,596.01 1,046.29 988.38
million)
Cost of imported materials as a 38.14% 26.32% 21.90% 22.48%
percentage of total purchases of raw
materials
Any restrictions imposed by the Government of India on the import of such raw materials or any embargoes on the jurisdictions
where our suppliers are located, or any increases in import duties on these raw materials, may adversely affect our business,
results of operations and prospects. While we have not faced any such restrictions on the import of required raw materials in
the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and in the last three fiscal years which had an adverse impact on our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, we cannot assure that these issues will not arise in the future. We are
also subject to the risks associated with changing international trade policies, including the imposition of anti-dumping duties.
Anti-dumping duties can increase the cost of imported raw materials, making our products less competitive in the market, which
could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
4011. We are reliant on our relationships with online marketplaces. Any technological disruptions to such online
marketplaces, increase in the cost of their services or their heightened focus on promoting private label brands could
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are reliant on online marketplaces for the sale of our products. The table below sets forth our revenues from the sale of our
products through online marketplaces for the period/ years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025
Revenue from the sale of products 2,123.75 4,833.04 3,817.70 3,347.27
through online marketplaces* (₹ million)
Revenue from the sale of products 29.33% 37.95% 38.71% 41.19%
through online marketplaces as a
percentage of our Revenue from
operations
*Online marketplaces include e-commerce platforms (including Pepperfry Limited) and quick commerce platforms.
If our competitors offer online marketplaces more favourable terms or have more products available to meet their needs or
utilize the leverage of broader product lines to be sold through them, the online marketplaces may de-emphasize or decline to
sell our products. We may also face significant competition from these marketplaces that promote other brands for various
commercial reasons including promotion of their private label brands. These marketplaces have the advantage of controlling
the platform and can prioritize their own or third party products in search results, advertising, and promotions. This may lead
to reduced visibility and sales for our products. Additionally, these marketplaces may create similar or identical items at
competitive prices. This may have an adverse impact on our market share and pricing power which could have an adverse
impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Furthermore, an increase in commission or
advertising costs by online marketplaces could lead to a reduction in our profit margins, which in turn could have an adverse
impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
secure promotion of our products on online marketplaces, and our inability to do so may affect our brand visibility on these
online marketplaces.
The online marketplaces may be disrupted due to technological disruptions. Should such disruptions occur, it may adversely
impact our production schedules and inventories. Online marketplaces could increase the cost of their services, due to
inflationary pressures or other reasons, which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows. Further, we are also exposed to risks related to product deliveries by online marketplaces. Any incidents of delivery
delays or unprofessional behaviour by the platform workers employed by these marketplaces could damage our brand image
and adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial conditions, and cash flows. While we have not had incidents
of delivery delays or unprofessional behaviour by platform workers employed at these marketplaces which had an adverse
impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows in the six months period ended September 30,
2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such incidents will not occur in the future.
12. Our inability to effectively manage our growth or implement our growth strategies may have an adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We have experienced growth in our financial performance over the past three Fiscals and the six months period ended September
30, 2025. The table below sets forth details of our revenue from operations for the periods/ years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025
Revenue from operations (₹ million) 7,240.03 12,736.91 9,863.53 8,126.20
Revenue from operations growth (%) -* 29.13% 21.38% 28.46%
*Revenue from operations growth for six months period ended September 30, 2025 has not been included as the comparative period financial information has
not been included in this Red Herring Prospectus.
Our growth strategies include the strategic expansion of COCO – Regular Stores and setting up of COCO – Jumbo Stores, and
enhance sales on our website, synergistic, data-driven product category expansion with a focus on scaling our operations,
developing, investing and increasing brand salience and brand awareness, leveraging technology to enhance customer
experience and driving operational efficiencies, increasing customer lifetime value and offer interior designing services. For
further information, see “Our Business – Our Strategies” on page 189. The implementation of these growth strategies will place
significant demands on our management and other resources, necessitating continuous development and improvement of our
operational, financial, and other internal controls to ensure effective execution and sustainability of these strategies. We cannot
assure you that our future growth strategy will be successful or that we will be able to continue to expand further, or at the same
rate. Our ability to manage our future growth will also depend on our ability to expand, train, motivate and manage our personnel.
We cannot assure you that our personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our future growth.
41Failure to effectively manage our expansion may lead to increased costs and reduced profitability and may adversely affect our
growth prospects. Our inability to manage our business and implement our growth strategies could have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
13. Our Company did not have an internal audit system in place in Fiscal 2024 and we may therefore be subject to penalties
for such past non-compliance.
Our Company was required to have an internal audit system in place by way of appointment of an internal auditor as per Section
138 of the Companies Act from Fiscal 2022 onwards due to our Company’s turnover exceeding ₹2,000 million in Fiscal 2021.
In this regard, our Company appointed an internal auditor to ensure compliance with the requirements under Section 138 of the
Companies Act, 2013 for Fiscal 2023 and 2022. The concerned internal auditor has undertaken audit for Fiscal 2023 and 2022
in compliance with the requirements under the Companies Act, 2013. However, due to the expiry of their term, although our
management was aware of the requirement to appoint an internal auditor prior to Fiscal 2024, there was a lapse in appointment
of an internal auditor for Fiscal 2024 since our Company could not finalise and appoint another internal auditor in a timely
manner for Fiscal 2024. Due to this lapse in appointment of a new internal auditor for our Company for Fiscal 2024, we were
not compliant with the requirements under Section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013 for Fiscal 2024. We have appointed an
internal auditor for our Company as required under the Companies Act, 2013 for Fiscal 2025. We have also made a voluntary
reporting of our past non-compliance to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs by way of submission of a suo moto application for
adjudication of penalties under Section 454 of the Companies Act, 2013 to the RoC dated August 5, 2025. Further, we have
also submitted our adjudication application in form GNL-1 with the RoC on August 6, 2025. While we have not received any
notice or penalty from the ministry of corporate affairs for our non-compliance in this regard till date, there can be no assurance
that we will not be subject to any penalty for such past non-compliance.
14. Our Statutory Auditors have included remarks in the auditors’ report issued on the audited financial statements for
Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 which do not require any corrective adjustments in the Restated Financial Information.
We cannot assure you that any similar remarks will not form part of our financial statements for the future fiscal
periods, which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, the trading price of the Equity Shares, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Our Statutory Auditors included certain remarks under “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” to the auditors’
reports as at and for the years ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 which do not require any corrective adjustments in
the Restated Financial Information.

These observations did not require any corrective adjustments in the Restated Financial Information. For further information,
see, “Financial Information – Restated Financial Information – Annexure VII – Part B – Non adjusting events” on page 325.
We cannot assure you that our auditors’ reports for any future fiscal periods will not contain qualifications, matters of emphasis
or other observations or remarks which could subject us to additional liabilities, due to which our reputation and financial
condition may be adversely affected.
15. Our business is manpower intensive. Our business may be adversely affected by work stoppages, strikes, lockouts,
increased wage demands by our employees, or an increase in minimum wages, and if we are unable to engage new
employees at commercially attractive terms.
Our operations are manpower intensive and we are dependent on our workforce for a significant portion of our operations. The
success of our operations depends on the availability of and maintaining good relationships with our workforce. Shortage of
workforce or disruptions caused by disagreements with workforce could have an adverse effect on our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows. While we have not experienced any labour unrest in the six months period ended
September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that we will not experience disruptions in work or our operations due to disputes,
strikes, work stoppages, work slow-downs or lockouts at our manufacturing units or other problems with our work force, which
may adversely affect our ability to continue our business operations. Any labour unrest could directly or indirectly prevent or
hinder our normal operating activities, and, if not resolved in a timely manner, could lead to disruptions in our operations.
Our success also depends on our ability to attract, hire, train and retain skilled manufacturing personnel. Our inability to recruit,
train and retain suitably qualified and skilled personnel could adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows. As of September 30, 2025, we were supported by 2,212 employees out of which 1,606 were employees
(excluding skilled and unskilled labours) and 606 were skilled and unskilled labours. For further details, see “Our Business –
Employees” on page 212. The following table sets forth the details regarding rate of attrition of our employees, and skilled and
unskilled labours in the period/years indicated:
Particulars As at / for the six As at/ for the year As at/ for the year As at/ for the year ended
months period ended March 31, ended March 31, March 31, 2023
ended September 2025 2024
30, 2025
Number of employees (excluding 1,606 1,441 1,220 1,076
skilled and unskilled labours)
Attrition rate of our employees 23.91% 47.33% 41.36% 54.38%
(excluding skilled and unskilled
labours)
Note : Attrition rate represents number of resignations in the relevant category as a percentage of average of opening number plus closing number of employees
in the relevant category as at the end of respective year.
For our employees (excluding skilled and unskilled labour), the increased attrition is primarily due to the higher attrition in
customer service, executives in manufacturing and supply chain operations, and retail operations roles. These positions are
highly transactional, leading to a higher churn rate. Most of these roles are entry-level and require less strategic expertise, which
results in organic attrition as employee tenures progress. Some of the spikes in operations roles’ attrition can be attributed to
the relocation of our manufacturing operations from various locations to Bangalore and to Hosur over the period in review. In
relation to skilled and unskilled labour, the increased attrition is primarily due to relocation of our manufacturing operations
from various locations to Bangalore and to Hosur over the period in review. These blue-collar roles are often limited to
helper/executive employees in factory and supply chain last mile operations who support ground-level movements.
Additionally, we have started maintaining labour roles under contract to ensure adequate manpower numbers in the factory
resulting in lesser on-roll employee count. We cannot assure you that attrition rates for our employees will not increase. Further,
we are subject to stringent labour laws, and any violation of these laws may lead regulators or other authorities to order a
suspension of certain or all of our operations. We may need to increase compensation and other benefits either to attract and
retain key personnel or due to increased wage demands by our employees, or an increase in minimum wages and that may
adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. The following table sets forth the details
regarding our employee benefits expense in the period/years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

percentage of Total expenses
Additionally, as of six months period ended September 30, 2025, we engaged 2,327 contract labourers for carrying out certain
of our operations. While we hire such contract labour through independent contractors, we may be held responsible for paying
the wages of such workers, if the independent contractors default on their obligations, and such obligations could have an
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.
16. Our inability to accurately manage inventory and forecast demand for our products may have an adverse effect
on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Demand for our products is forecasted using past trends and anticipated demand. We use various data tools to capture sales
information, customer behaviour and other metrics from our various sales and marketing channels. This data is then analysed
and used to design new products, decide inventory levels, create manufacturing schedules, optimise raw material purchasing
and also used as an input in many other aspects of our business cycle. Any inaccuracy or our inability to accurately collect and
analyse this data may result in our forecasts and estimates as well as business plans to be inaccurate and incorrect. If we fail to
accurately forecast customer demand, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of products available for sale.
If we underestimate demand, we may manufacture fewer quantities of products than required, which could result in the loss of
business and dissatisfied customers, which could adversely affect our goodwill. If we overestimate demand, any unsold
inventory may have to be sold at a discount or discarded, potentially 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,
financial condition and cash flows. While we have experienced inventory write downs due to surplus stock in the six months
period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, such inventory write downs did not have a material impact on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and we cannot guarantee that such instances will not arise in
the future.
The table below sets forth details of certain parameters as of the dates indicated:
Particulars As of September 30, As of March 31,
2025 2025 2024 2023
Inventories (₹ million) 2,617.94 1,636.29 1,306.83 1,155.85
Total current assets (₹ million) 7,544.53 5,374.78 5,741.18 3,855.80

Total current assets (%)
Inventory turnover ratio(1) 1.20 3.50 3.78 3.69
Net working capital days(2) 1.04 3.84 6.89 20.44
Notes:
1. Inventory turnover ratio is calculated as (cost of materials consumed plus purchase of stock in trade plus changes in inventories) divided by average
inventory.
2. Net working capital days is calculated as (Average Net working capital divided by Revenue from operations) * by 365. However, for the six months period
ended September 30, 2025, Net working capital days is calculated as (Average Net working capital divided by Revenue from operations) * by 183. Net working
capital is calculated as Inventories plus Trade Receivables minus Trade Payables.
17. If we fail to develop and launch new products in response to changes in market demands, trends, spending patterns
and customer preferences in a timely and effective manner, our business, results of operations, cash flows, and
financial condition may be adversely affected.
Our results of operations are dependent on our ability to anticipate, gauge and respond to changes in the market demand and
customer preference for the products we manufacture, and develop new products, or modify our existing offerings in line with
these changes. If we misjudge the market for our products or are unable to offer new products or modify our existing products
in line with changes in market trends, our sales may get adversely affected. While we continue to undertake product
development initiatives and introduction of new products, we are subject to general risks associated with introduction of new
products including the lack of market acceptance. We cannot assure you that new products will receive market acceptance or
address changing consumer trends or emerging industry standards. Any rapid change in the expectations of our consumers in
our business on account of changes in technology or introduction of new alternate products could adversely affect our business,
results of operations and financial condition.
18. Our business is dependent on our manufacturing facilities and we are subject to certain risks in our manufacturing
processes. Any unscheduled, unplanned or prolonged disruption of our manufacturing operations could materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
We operate five manufacturing facilities of which two are situated at Bengaluru, Karnataka, two at Hosur, Tamil Nadu and one
at Sonipat, Haryana. For details with respect to the products manufactured at each of these manufacturing facilities, see “Our
44Business – Business Operations – Manufacturing Facilities” on page 201. Our business is dependent on our ability to efficiently
manage our manufacturing facilities and the operational risks associated with it, including those beyond our reasonable control.
Any unscheduled, unplanned or prolonged disruption of our manufacturing operations, including on account of power failure,
fire, mechanical failure of equipment, performance below expected levels of output or efficiency, obsolescence, non-availability
of adequate labour or disagreements with our workforce, lock-outs, earthquakes and other natural disasters, industrial accidents,
any significant social, political or economic disturbances or infectious disease outbreaks, could have an adverse impact our
sales, overall business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Disruptions in our manufacturing operations
could delay production or require us to temporarily or permanently cease operations at our manufacturing facilities and require
us to incur additional expenditure to attempt to mitigate such disruption. While we have not experienced any prolonged
disruptions at our manufacturing facilities in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we
cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future.
Out of the five manufacturing facilities, mattresses are produced only at Manufacturing Facility I in Sonipat, Haryana, and
Manufacturing Facility V in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, with the latter historically contributing the majority of mattress output. For
details in relation to the installed capacities, available capacities, actual production and capacity utilisation of certain of our
product categories, see “Our Business – Business Operations – Installed Capacity, Actual Production and Capacity Utilization”
on page 204. Given that mattresses generate a significant share of our revenue, any disruption at either of these two
manufacturing facilities could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
Certain of our manufacturing processes such as foam production or the use of cutting machines are inherently hazardous. If any
industrial accident, loss of human life or injuries were to occur, we could be subject to significant penalties, other actionable
claims and, in some instances, criminal prosecution. In the past, we have had a case of a minor accident where a workman
suffered an injury, and a complaint was filed before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu against our
Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Ankit Garg, upon inspection by the Deputy Director, Department
of Industrial Safety and Health. A fine of ₹30,000 was paid and the matter was closed. Further, our Company paid the hospital
expenses incurred by the injured workman, which amounted to ₹55,162. In addition to adversely affecting our reputation, any
such accidents may result in a loss of property or disruption in our manufacturing operations entirely, levy of fines, penalties
or compensation or adverse action against our employees, officers or management, which may have an adverse effect on our
business operations, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We may also be subject to manufacturing
disruptions in case of any contravention by us of applicable regulatory approvals until such regulatory issues are resolved,
which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. While we have not
faced any regulatory action due to non-compliances related to our manufacturing operations in the six months period ended
September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not arise in the future. For further details, please also
see “Risk Factors - Failure to obtain or renew approvals, licenses, registrations and permits to operate our business in a timely
manner, or at all, may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows” on page 38.
19. The home and furnishings industry is competitive and our inability to compete effectively may adversely affect our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The home and furnishings industry in India is competitive, fragmented and largely unorganised and faces certain threats and
challenges that impact scalability and profitability. Economic sensitivity, discretionary spending risks, and supply chain
disruptions due to inflation and geopolitical issues may erode margins and disrupt operations. Regulatory and environmental
compliance adds complexity, while intense competition and the bulky nature of products create logistical hurdles and limit
repeat purchases. Given the inherently low barriers to entry in these markets, a significant proportion of the home solutions
products industry in India, and in particular, the mattresses and furniture industries is unorganised, with competitors running
unbranded and smaller scale operations. Our unorganised competitors may incur lesser operating expenses, given the size and
scale of their operations and have a deeper retail reach in the territories that they operate in, than us. We cannot assure you that
we can effectively compete with entities in the unorganised markets.
We also compete with various organised players in the home and furnishings industry. Some of our competitors may be larger
than us, have more financial and other resources and have products with greater brand recognition than ours. Our competitors
in certain regions may also have better access to raw materials required in our operations and may procure them at lower costs
than us, and consequently be able to sell their products at lower prices. Some of our competitors may also sell inferior quality
products at lower prices, thereby increasing pricing pressure on us. This competitive pricing strategy can lead to a perception
of higher costs associated with our products, potentially driving customers towards cheaper alternatives. As a result, 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. Increased competition may lead to
a reduction in our market share as competitors may introduce innovative products and employ aggressive pricing strategies. In
addition, our competitors may significantly increase their advertising and brand building activities 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 may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. For
45information regarding revenue from operations and EBITDA for the six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025,
2024 and 2023 of our Indian peers which include Lifestyle International Private Limited, Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing
Company Limited, Sheela Foam Limited, IKEA India Private Limited, Duroflex Private Limited, D’Décor home Fabrics Private
Limited and Royaloak Incorporation Private Limited, see “Industry Overview – Financial Benchmarking of players in the home
& furnishings space” on pages 172.
20. One of our Shareholders, Elevation Capital VIII Limited, is yet to receive certain number of Equity Shares to which
they are entitled.
One of our Shareholders, Elevation Capital VIII Limited entered into a share purchase agreement dated December 9, 2024 with
our Company and certain other individuals (“Sellers”) through which certain equity shares held by such Sellers were transferred
to Elevation Capital VIII Limited. Subsequently, basis the agreement consideration was paid by Elevation Capital VIII Limited.
However, our Company was informed that one of the Sellers as on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus has not transferred
its respective portion of equity shares as per the agreement. Thus, we cannot assure you if those equity shares will be transferred
or that such instances will not arise in the future.
21. Any failure in our quality control processes or if the quality of our products does not meet our customers’ expectations,
could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
While we have internal quality standards and our quality control teams perform quality control processes for raw materials and
the final products before they are dispatched to our customers, our products may contain quality issues or undetected errors or
defects. For further information, see “Our Business - Business Operations - Quality Assurance and Quality Control” on page
211. In particular, advanced sleep tech products such as Track8 and Regul8 expose us to risks related to product malfunctions,
which necessitate stringent quality control processes to ensure product reliability. We cannot assure you that our quality
standards will be adhered to, and if they are not, that our quality control processes and inspections will accurately detect all
deficiencies in the quality of our products at all times, before such products reach the customers. We have, from time to time,
due to quality defects, replaced or accepted returns of products sold to our customers in accordance with our replacements and
returns policy. In the event the quality of our products is not in accordance with our standards or our products are defective, our
customers may return our products, we may be required to recall or replace such products at additional cost to us and our
reputation may be impacted. While we have not had instances of any product recalls in the six months period ended September
30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future. Also, see “Risk Factors - We provide product
warranties and, if our product warranty obligations are significantly in excess of our warranty provisions, our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.” on page 48.
In addition, material quality issues can expose us to product liability claims in the event that our products fail to meet the
required quality standards, or are alleged to cause harm to customers. We face the risk of legal proceedings and product liability
claims being brought against us by our consumers, for various reasons including for defective products sold. We have not been
subject to any legal proceedings in relation to the product liability claims in the six months period ended September 30, 2025
and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We cannot assure you that we will not experience any product liability claims in the future or that we will not incur significant
costs to defend any such claims. Product liability claims, successful or otherwise, may adversely affect our reputation, brand
image and sales. Our inability to avoid or defend product liability claims may adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.
22. Our business requires working capital. Any failure in arranging adequate working capital for our operations may
adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
We require working capital for purchasing key raw materials. The table below sets forth details regarding our Net working
capital days for the period/years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September 30,
2025

Revenue from operations (V) 7,240.03 12,736.91 9,863.53 8,126.20
Net working capital days (IV/V) (Number 1.04 3.84 6.89 20.44
of days in the period/ year)
Notes:
46Net working capital days is calculated as (Average Net working capital divided by Revenue from operations)*365. However, for the six months period ended
September 30, 2025, Net working capital days is calculated as (Average Net working capital divided by Revenue from operations)*183. Net working capital is
calculated as Inventories plus Trade Receivables minus Trade Payables.
Our working capital requirements may increase if the payment terms in our arrangements with our multi-brand outlets include
reduced advance payments or longer payment schedules or increased advance payments or shorter credit period from our
suppliers. These factors may result in increases in the amount of, our receivables, short-term borrowings and the cost of availing
such working capital funding. Additionally, our inability to obtain adequate amount of working capital at such terms which are
favourable to us and in a timely manner or at all may also have an adverse effect on our financial condition. Continued increases
in our working capital requirements may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.
23. Sales of our products are affected by seasonality, particularly during the festive season during which our sales are
comparatively higher, which could result in fluctuations in our operating results.
Sales of our products are affected by seasonality, particularly during the festive season during which our sales are comparatively
higher. As a result, our results of operations are likely to fluctuate from period to period and comparisons of our revenue and
results of operations within a single Fiscal or in different Fiscals may not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied
on as indicators of our performance for any future fiscal period. Further, demand for our products, including mattresses,
furniture, and furnishings, tends to increase significantly during these periods. If we are unable to accurately forecast and
manage this increased demand, we may face stockouts or delayed deliveries. Additionally, any disruptions in our supply chain
or production processes during these peak periods can have an adverse impact on our operations. Failure to effectively manage
seasonal fluctuations could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
24. There have been certain instances of delays in payment of statutory dues by us in the past. Any delay in payment of
statutory dues by us in future, may result in the imposition of penalties and in turn may have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows.
We are required to pay certain statutory dues including provident fund contributions, employee state insurance contributions
(“ESIC”), professional taxes, labour welfare fund, goods and services tax (“GST”), tax deducted at source (“TDS”), tax
collected at source (“TCS”) and income tax. The table below sets forth details of the statutory dues payable by us:

* This is a subsisting instance of default in the payment of statutory dues by our Company.
(1) Delays are attributable to instances which occur in the ordinary course of making such payments, including due to administrative or logistical issues,
clerical errors, technical difficulties.
47While the fines and/or penalties we have paid in connection with the delays in payment of statutory dues for the periods indicated
above, we cannot assure you that we will not be subject to such penalties and fines in the future for delays in payment of
statutory dues, which may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
25. We provide product warranties and, if our product warranty obligations are significantly in excess of our warranty
provisions, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We provide warranties on our products, ranging from three months to 20 years, depending on the product and subject to various
limitations. We recognize a provision for expected warranty claims in respect of products sold during the year, based on our
estimates regarding return trends of products and the costs of repair and replacement. The table below sets forth details about
movement in warranty provision as of the dates indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 As at March 31, As at March 31, 2023

At the end of the period/ year (₹ 60.60 57.99 45.60 31.52
million)
We cannot assure you that our warranty provision will be adequate for all warranty claims that arise. Warranty obligations in
excess of our reserves could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
26. Our proposed expansion plans relating to the opening of new COCO – Regular Stores and two COCO – Jumbo Store
are subject to the risk of unanticipated delays in implementation and cost overruns.
Our capital expenditure plans in relation to the proposed setting up of new COCO – Regular Stores and two COCO – Jumbo
Stores are subject to potential risks and uncertainties that these activities typically face, including cost overruns or delays.
Problems that could adversely affect our expansion plans include labour shortages, increased costs of equipment or manpower,
delays in completion, the possibility of unanticipated future regulatory restrictions, delays in receiving governmental, statutory
and other regulatory approvals, increase in other expenses, not securing properties or lease or license rights to properties for
proposed stores and other external factors which may not be within the control of our management. We cannot assure you that
the proposed expansion will be completed as planned or on schedule, and if they are not completed in a timely manner, or at
all, our budgeted costs may be insufficient to meet our proposed capital expenditure requirements. If our actual capital
expenditure significantly exceeds our budgets, or even if our budgets were sufficient to cover such activities, we may not be
able to achieve the intended economic benefits of such capital expenditure, which in turn may adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be able to complete the
aforementioned expansion and additions in accordance with the proposed schedule of implementation and any delay could have
an adverse impact on our growth, prospects, cash flows and financial condition.
Further, we propose to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds towards the capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for
setting up 117 new COCO – Regular Stores in India. For further information, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 119. There is
a risk of cost overruns, especially with the COCO – Jumbo Store as we lack prior experience in opening such large stores. Any
unforeseen increases in construction costs, equipment prices, or other related expenses could lead to variations in the allocation
of the Net Proceeds. Also, see “-Any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance
requirements, including prior shareholders' approval.” on page 52.
27. We have incurred indebtedness and an inability to obtain further financing or to comply with repayment and other
covenants in our financing agreements could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.
We have entered into various financing arrangements with various lenders for short-term and long terms facilities. The table
below sets forth certain information of our working capital loan and interest expense on our working capital loan, as of and for
the period/years as indicated:

Interest expense on working - 4.50 8.35 1.53
capital loan (₹ million)
Our ability to pay interest and repay the principal for our indebtedness is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash
flows to service such debt. Any additional indebtedness we incur may have consequences, including, requiring us to use a
significant portion of our cash flow from operations and other available cash to service our indebtedness, thereby reducing the
funds available for other purposes, including capital expenditure and reducing our flexibility in planning for or reacting to
changes in our business, competition pressures and market conditions.
Our financing arrangement include conditions that require us to obtain respective lenders’ consent prior to carrying out certain
activities and entering into certain transactions including altering our capital structure, change in our shareholding pattern,
changing the management including changes in the key managerial personnel of the Company, dilution of Promoters’
shareholding, change in nature of the business, alteration in the constitutional documents and creation of security. Failure to
meet these conditions or obtain these consents could have significant consequences on our business and operations. While there
has been no breach of such covenants or delay or defaults towards our payment obligations in the last three Fiscals and the six
months period ended September 30, 2025, we cannot assure you that we will be able to comply with these financial or other
covenants at all times or that we will be able to obtain the consent necessary to take the actions that we believe are required to
operate and grow our business. Further, there has been no re-scheduling/ re-structuring in relation to borrowings availed by us
from any financial institutions or banks in the last three Fiscals and the six months period ended September 30, 2025.As of the
date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we have received all consents required from our lenders in connection with the Offer.
In terms of security, we have created hypothecation over the present and future current assets of our Company, created a charge
by a first charge pari passu by way of hypothecation, on both present and future current assets of our Company, fixed deposits
for bank guarantee margin pari pasu on current assets, pari passu second charge over 25.00% of the Company’s stocks. In an
event of default, the hypothecated assets may be subject to seizure by creditors, which could adversely affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.
28. We have capital expenditure requirements and may require financing in the future and our operations could be
curtailed if we are unable to obtain the required financing when needed.
We have incurred capital expenditure to expand and upgrade our existing manufacturing facilities and expand our COCO –
Regular Stores. The following table sets forth details of our additions to property, plant and equipment in the period/years
indicated:
Particulars Six months period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30, 2025
Additions to the property, plant and equipment (₹ million) 149.44 466.48 383.28 756.52
Additions to the property, plant and equipment as a percentage 2.06% 3.66% 3.89% 9.31%
of Revenue from operations
Additions to the property, plant and equipment as a percentage 18.97% 60.84% 47.56% (369.71)%
of operating cash flow
Our sources of additional capital required to meet our capital expenditure plans, may include the incurrence of debt or the issue
of equity or debt securities or a combination of both. Further, our budgeted resources may prove insufficient to meet our
requirements which could drain our internal accruals or compel us to raise additional capital. If we are required 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. We may also become subject to additional restrictive covenants in our financing
agreements, which could limit our ability to access cash flows from operations and undertake certain types of transactions. Any
issuance of equity, on the other hand, would result in a dilution of the shareholding of existing shareholders. If any of the
foregoing were to occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Further, our Company proposes to utilise ₹ 154.08 million from the Net Proceeds towards the purchase of new machinery and
equipment which will be installed at our Company’s manufacturing unit situated at Hosur, Tamil Nadu (Manufacturing Facility
IV – Hosur, Tamil Nadu) to enhance our existing manufacturing capabilities. For further details, see “Objects of the Offer –
Capital expenditure to be incurred by the Company for purchase of new equipment and machinery” on page 124. We may
encounter various challenges such as issues with procurement of the equipment or machinery and increased costs of equipment.
If there are significant cost overruns, the overall benefit of such capital expenditure to our revenues and profitability may
decline. If the expenditure that we incur does not produce anticipated or desired results, our profitability and financial condition
will be adversely affected.
4929. We may incur uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage which could have an adverse impact on
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We maintain insurance cover for our properties, including leasehold improvements, plant and machinery, office equipment,
furniture and fixtures, raw materials, semi-finished goods, finished goods and stock in trade. For further information on the
insurance policies availed by us, see “Our Business – Insurance” on page 213. These insurance policies are generally valid for
one year and are renewed yearly. We cannot assure you that the renewal of our insurance policies in the future will be granted
in a timely manner, at acceptable cost or at all.
The following tables set forth details of coverage of our insurance policies against the total insurable assets in the years
indicated:
Particulars Six months period ended September Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal
30, 2025 2025 2024 2023
Coverage of insurance policies (₹ million) 19,222.10 16,764.38 10,829.07 9,323.47

insurable assets*
* Insurable assets include gross property, plant and equipment, inventories, cash on hand and capital work in progress.
We could face liabilities or otherwise suffer losses should any unforeseen incident such as malfunction or failure of
manufacturing equipment, natural disaster, fire, flood, and accidents affect our manufacturing units. Notwithstanding the
insurance coverage that we carry, we may not be fully insured against certain types of risks. We cannot assure you that any
claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honoured fully, in part, on time, or at all. The table below sets forth
details of the insurance amount claimed and insurance amount received for the period/years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

2025*
Insurance amount claimed 0.27 0.23 Nil 0.52
(₹ million)
Insurance amount received 0.07 0.19 Nil 0.45
(₹ million)
*There are two burglary insurance claims made in Fiscal 2026 for which settlement is yet to be received.
To the extent that we suffer any loss or damage that is not covered by insurance or exceeds our insurance coverage, our business,
cash flows, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Any damage suffered by us in excess of
such limited coverage amounts, or in respect of uninsured events, not covered by such insurance policies will have to be borne
by us. While we have not experienced any instance where we incurred losses exceeding our insurance coverage in the six
months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in
the future.
30. We have never operated COCO – Jumbo Stores in the past. Our lack of experience in operating such stores may impact
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We intend to set up COCO – Jumbo Stores, in India, with an estimated size ranging between 50,000 square feet to 200,000
square feet to offer a comprehensive range of our products. While these COCO – Jumbo Stores will be set up across multiple
geographical locations, we will be starting with two COCO – Jumbo Stores to be set up and opened in Bengaluru, India. Both
the COCO – Jumbo Stores will be funded through internal accruals. Since we do not have any past experience in opening and
operating a retail store of this size and magnitude, this initiative presents several significant risks.
We may face challenges from an operational perspective, as managing such large stores will require expertise in areas such as
space management and inventory control. Efficiently managing a store of this scale requires timely restocking and maintaining
optimal inventory levels to meet customer demand without overstocking. Staffing a large store requires careful planning to
ensure adequate coverage during peak times while avoiding unnecessary labour costs during slower periods. Given our lack of
prior experience, we may face challenges in these areas, leading to inefficiencies and higher operational costs.
Further, there is a risk that the market may not respond as expected to the opening of these large-format stores. If we are unable
to generate proportionate revenues to cover the increased costs associated with these stores, it could negatively impact our
business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. We cannot assure you that the market demand will be
sufficient to support the sales volumes needed to achieve profitability from these stores.
31. Our change in strategy to open smaller sized COCO – Regular Stores in the future may have an adverse impact on our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
50We propose to utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds towards the capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for setting
up 117 new COCO – Regular Stores in India. As on September 30, 2025, the average size of our COCO – Regular Stores
(aggregate area divided by number of active COCO – Regular Stores) is 3,154.56 square feet per COCO – Regular Store. We
intend to open COCO – Regular Stores of varied sizes, tailored to specific catchment areas for mattress, furniture and
furnishings products. We also intend to tap into smaller cities and towns and underserved pockets of metropolitan cities in India.
As a result, some of the new COCO – Regular Stores we intend to open may be smaller than our current average store size. For
further details, see “Objects of the Offer - Capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for setting up of 117 new COCO
– Regular Stores” on page 121.
While this strategy of opening smaller-sized COCO – Regular Stores offers opportunities for market expansion and increased
customer reach, it also introduces several risks that could impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, and
cash flows. Smaller stores may have limited floor space, which could restrict the variety and quantity of products displayed.
This might result in lower sales volumes compared to larger stores, especially if the smaller size limits the ability to showcase
a comprehensive range of products. A smaller store may not provide the same level of customer experience as a larger store.
Limited space could affect the layout and ambiance, potentially impacting customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Furthermore, smaller stores may require different operational strategies, including efficient space utilization, streamlined
inventory management, and tailored staffing levels. Given that we do not have prior experience operating such smaller-sized
stores, we may face challenges in effectively managing these aspects. If we are unable to do so, it could have an adverse impact
on the performance of these stores and, consequently, on our overall business, results of operations, financial condition, and
cash flows.
32. We may grow inorganically through strategic acquisitions. If we fail to integrate or manage acquired companies or
businesses efficiently, or if the acquired companies or businesses are difficult to integrate, our business, results of
operations, financial conditions and cash flows may be adversely affected.
We intend to explore and consider opportunities that can create synergies between the target companies and us and are in line
with our growth strategy. We intend to acquire entities that expand our opportunities in existing or other new products. We
cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully integrate these acquired entities into our existing operations as planned.
These integration activities are complex and time-consuming, and we may encounter unexpected difficulties or incur
unexpected costs, including:
• our inability to achieve the operating synergies anticipated in the acquisitions;
• possible cash flow interruption or loss of revenue as a result of transitional matters;
• generating sufficient revenues and net income to offset acquisition costs;
• retaining key senior management and key sales and marketing and research and development personnel, particularly those
of the acquired operations;
• diversion of management attention from on-going business concerns to integration matters;
• failing to realise the potential cost savings or other financial benefits and/or the strategic benefits of the acquisition; and
• integrating and documenting processes and controls.
If we fail to properly evaluate acquisitions or investments, we may not achieve the anticipated benefits of any such acquisitions,
and we may incur costs in excess of what we anticipate. The failure to successfully integrate the operations or otherwise to
realise any of the anticipated benefits of the planned acquisitions could seriously harm our business, results of operations,
financial conditions and cash flows.
33. We engage in foreign currency transactions and fluctuations in the exchange rate between the rupee and other
currencies may adversely affect our operating results.
Our financial statements are presented in Rupees. However, our results of operations may be influenced by the currencies that
we export in as well as by currencies of countries from where we procure raw material. Exchange rate fluctuations between the
Indian Rupee and foreign currencies, especially USD and Euro, may have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash
flows and financial condition. The table below sets forth details of foreign currency exposure as of the dates indicated:
Particulars As at September As at March 31, As at March 31, As at March 31, 2023
30, 2025 2025 2024
Absolute total foreign currency Nil Nil Nil Nil
exposure on trade receivable (₹ million)
51Particulars As at September As at March 31, As at March 31, As at March 31, 2023

Absolute total foreign currency 0.11 22.55 Nil 44.24
exposure on capital advances (₹ million)
Absolute total foreign currency 36.10 Nil Nil Nil
exposure on advances to suppliers (₹
million)
We hedge our foreign currency exposure on a case to case basis considering fluctuation in foreign currency in order to safeguard
our cash flows and financial performance, and as a result, our operations, cash flows and financial performance could be
adversely affected in case these currencies fluctuate significantly. While we have not experienced any material adverse impacts
on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows due to not hedging foreign exchange risks in the six months
period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure that such instances will not occur in the future.
34. Our funding requirement and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised by any bank or
financial institution or any other independent agency. Our Management will have broad discretion over the use of the
Net Proceeds.
We intend to utilize the Net Proceeds of the Offer as set forth in “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page 119. The funding
requirements disclosed as a part of the objects of the Offer are based on internal management estimates in view of past
expenditures and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. These are based on current conditions and are
subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances, costs, other financial conditions or business strategies. Our
management, in accordance with the policies established by our Board of Directors from time to time, will have flexibility in
deploying the Net Proceeds of the Offer. Based on the competitive nature of our industry, we may have to revise our business
plan and/or management estimates from time to time and consequently our funding requirements may also change. Our
management estimates may differ from the value that would have been determined by third party appraisals, which may require
us to reschedule or reallocate our expenditure, subject to applicable laws, and may have an adverse impact on our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Various risks and uncertainties, including those set forth in this section as well as in “Objects of the Offer” beginning on page
119, may limit or delay our efforts to use the Net Proceeds to achieve profitable growth in our business. For example, the modes
we shall utilize to undertake expenditures and investments towards our advertising and marketing strategies are not specific or
identified at this stage. Further, the outcome of this expenditure and investment is not ascertainable or quantifiable at this stage
and may be disproportionate to the revenue generated or consumer conversion rates. Similarly, we are also yet to identify the
exact locations or enter into agreements for lease/ leave and license/sub-lease of properties for the COCO – Regular Stores
which we intend to utilize the Net Proceeds towards the setting up of. While we have included estimated capital expenditure
for the setting up of such COCO – Regular Stores on the basis of quotations, we have not yet placed any orders for expenditure
to be incurred for setting up the COCO – Regular Stores. As a consequence of any increased costs, our actual deployment of
funds may be higher than our management estimates. We may also face delays or incur additional costs due to failure to receive
regulatory approvals, technical difficulties, human resource, technological or other resource constraints, or for other unforeseen
reasons, events or circumstances. Further, we may not be able to attract personnel with sufficient skills or sufficiently train our
personnel to manage our expansion plans. Accordingly, the use of Net Proceeds for other purposes identified by our
management may not result in actual growth of our business, increased profitability or an increase in the value of our business
and your investment. Further, in case we decide to vary the proposed objects of the Offer and the same is approved by our
Shareholders in accordance with applicable law, our Shareholders who do not agree to the proposal to vary the objects of the
Offer shall be given an exit offer, at such price, and in such manner, in accordance with our Articles of Association, the
Companies Act, and Regulation 59 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations
35. Any variation in the utilization of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements, including
prior shareholders' approval.
We propose to utilize the Net Proceeds towards the following: (i) capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for setting
up of 117 new COCO – Regular Stores; (ii) expenditure for lease, sub-lease rent and license fee payments for our existing
COCO – Regular Stores; (iii) capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for purchase of new equipment and machinery;
(iv) marketing and advertisement expenses towards enhancing the awareness and visibility of our brand; and (v) for general
corporate purposes. For further information of the proposed objects of the Offer, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 119. At this
stage, we cannot determine with any certainty if we would require the Net Proceeds to meet any other expenditure or fund any
exigencies arising out of competitive environment, business conditions, economic conditions or other factors beyond our
control. In accordance with Sections 13(8) and 27 of the Companies Act 2013, we cannot undertake any variation in the
utilization of the Net Proceeds without obtaining the shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. In the event of any
such circumstances that require us to undertake variation in the disclosed utilization of the Net Proceeds, we may not be able
to obtain the shareholders’ approval in a timely manner, or at all. Any delay or inability to obtain such shareholders’ approval
52may adversely affect our business or operations. Additionally, the Shareholders who do not agree to the proposal to vary the
objects of the Offer shall be given an exit offer, at such price, and in such manner, in accordance with our Articles of Association,
the Companies Act, and Regulation 59 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations.
In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of objects of the Offer to use any unutilized proceeds of the
Offer, if any or vary the terms of any contract referred to in the Red Herring Prospectus, even if such variation is in the interest
of our Company. This may restrict our Company's ability to respond to any change in our business or financial condition by re-
deploying the unutilized portion of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying the terms of contract, which may adversely affect our
business of operations.
36. We are exposed to consumer complaints and our failure to address these complaints in a timely manner could lead to
litigation, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
We receive complaints from our customers in the course of delivering our products to them. We receive such complaints through
various portals including our website and customer helpline. Such complaints may be made against us on grounds of alleged
deficiency in products (arising from different perceptions of results compared to that marketed or advertised). We have started
systematically recording complaints (including calls made to our customer support number), including but not limited to various
issues with the products ordered by our customers, such as manufacturing defects in the product, sagging, deformation and
termite/fungus issues, shipment of wrong size or product model, and missing parts in package, from July, 2023. We have
received 298,288 such complaints as of November 7, 2025 (including calls made to our customer support number) with respect
to our products from July 1, 2023 to September 30, 2025. Of the aforesaid complaints, as of November 7, 2025, 296,458
complaints have either been resolved or closed, representing 99.39% of the aforesaid number of complaints received. The
remaining 0.61% complaints are either awaiting resolution to be provided by our operations teams, complaints which have been
re-opened basis feedback from customer or are in progress for resolution. We may also be liable for claims from our customers
if our products are found to be defective or unfit for their intended purposes. In addition, we may be subject to complaints based
on malicious rumours regarding our products. Such events may generate negative publicity concerning our product quality,
reduce consumers’ confidence in our products and negatively impact our reputation. As a result, our business, profitability and
financial performance may be adversely affected and we may also have to incur additional costs to restore our image and
reputation. In the event that complaints from our consumers escalate into legal claims, our image and market reputation could
be adversely affected. In addition, resources such as time and legal costs would have to be utilized and incurred to address such
claims, thereby further affecting our business and financial performance. We cannot assure you that litigation would not be
brought against us in the future. Our liabilities in respect of such claims could have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, there are 11 legal proceedings initiated by
our customers that are currently pending before various forums. The aggregate amount claimed in these proceedings is
approximately ₹ 1.63 million.
Further, while we have adopted a consumer grievance redressal policy to resolve consumer complaints, our failure to address
complaints from customers can result in negative reviews and customer dissatisfaction which could have an adverse effect on
our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.
37. Our operations are dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, including our Key Managerial
Personnel and Senior Management and any inability on our part to do so, could adversely affect our business, results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our performance depends largely on the efforts and abilities of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management. See
“Our Management” on page 229. The inputs and experience of our Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management are
valuable for the development of our business and operations and the strategic directions taken by our Company. Our managerial
and other employees are critical to maintaining the quality and consistency of our services and reputation and the loss of the
services of our personnel may adversely affect our business and operations. While we believe that we currently have adequate
qualified personnel for our operations, we may not be able to continuously attract or retain such personnel, or retain them on
acceptable terms, given the demand for such personnel. For details regarding changes in Key Managerial Personnel and Senior
Management during the last three Fiscals, see “Our Management - Changes in the Key Managerial Personnel and Senior
Management during the last three years” on page 245. Further, Navesh Gupta, our Chief Financial Officer, has resigned from
our Company with his last working day being December 31, 2025 or such other date as may be mutually agreed between him
and our Company. While there have been changes in Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management during the last three
Fiscals, there has been no instance in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals where the
resignation of any Senior Management or Key Managerial Personnel had an adverse impact on our business, results of
operations, cash flows or financial conditions, we cannot assure you that such instance will not arise in the future. Competition
for qualified personnel with relevant industry expertise in India is intense and the loss of the services of our Key Managerial
Personnel and Senior Management may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We may require a long period of time to hire and train replacement personnel when qualified personnel terminate their
employment with our Company. We may also be required to increase our levels of employee compensation more rapidly than
53in the past to remain competitive in attracting employees that our business requires.
38. Any failure of our information technology systems and tools could adversely affect our business, results of operations,
financial conditions and cash flows.
We have information technology systems and tools that support our business processes, including product development, sales,
order processing, production, distribution, finance and data analyses. We have made, and will continue to make, significant
investments in information technology systems and tools. Such expenditure may adversely affect our operating results if they
are not offset by corresponding increase in our operational efficiency. The table below sets forth details of software support and
maintenance for the period/ years indicated:

Our systems and proprietary data stored electronically may be vulnerable to computer viruses, cybercrime, computer hacking
and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering. If such unauthorized use of our systems were to occur, data related to our
product development and other proprietary information could be compromised. Our Track8 products collect and process certain
personal customer data, including sleep analysis information such as movements made during sleep and snoring activity.
Although this data is anonymized to protect customer privacy, the collection, storage, and processing of such data pose inherent
risks, including unauthorized access to personal data, non-compliance with data protection regulations resulting in significant
fines and legal repercussions, erosion of customer trust due to perceived or actual misuse of personal data, and substantial
resource allocation to address data privacy and security issues. The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology,
Government of India has also recently notified and published the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025 (“DPDP Rules”).
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules require us to protect the privacy of our customers and
prohibit unauthorised disclosure of personal information. The DPDP Rules regulate the processing of personal data in India,
ensuring that the privacy rights of individuals are protected and to provide an actionable framework. Compliance with new and
evolving privacy and security laws, regulations and requirements may result in increased operating costs and may constrain or
require us to alter our business model or operations, which may affect or business, results of operations and financial conditions.
Any future deficiencies in handling personal data of our customers may lead to civil and criminal liability towards our Company.
While we have not experienced any disruptions due to computer viruses, cybercrime, hacking, or similar unauthorized
tampering in the six months period ended September 30, 2025, or the last three Fiscals, we cannot assure you that such incidents
will not occur in the future. As cyber-attacks and similar events become increasingly sophisticated, we may need to incur
additional costs to implement data security and privacy measures, modify our protective measures and remediate any
vulnerability to cyber incidents. While we have not adopted a formal data security policy and do not have a cyber-crime
insurance policy, we prevent data leakages by implementing endpoint security and control, identity and access management,
threat detection and protection and secure connectivity measures. While we have not had any instances of data leakages in the
six months period ended September 30, 2025, and the last three Fiscals which had an adverse impact on our business, results
of operations, financial conditions and cash flows, we cannot assure you that such instances will not occur in the future.”
39. Under-utilization of our manufacturing capacities over extended periods, or significant underutilization in the short
term could increase our cost of production and our operating costs and adversely impact our business, growth prospects
and future financial performance.
The capacity utilization is affected by our product mix, our ability to accurately forecast customer demand, to carry out
uninterrupted operations, the availability of raw materials, and industry and market conditions. In the event there is a decline in
the demand for our products, or if we face prolonged disruptions at our manufacturing facilities or are unable to procure
sufficient raw materials, our capacity utilisation would decline and we would not be able to achieve full capacity utilization of
our existing or future manufacturing facilities. The table below sets out our overall capacity utilization for the period/ years
indicated:
Manufacturing Unit Product Categories As of September As of and for the financial years ended

Manufacturing Facility IV Engineered Wood 96.87% 86.67% 72.88% 62.69%
^The percentage of available capacity utilization is calculated on the exact (un-rounded) absolute capacity and production figures; the resultant percentage is
presented to two decimal places.
(1) Capacity utilization has been calculated on the basis of actual production in the relevant period/ Fiscal divided by the annual available capacity during
such period/ Fiscal.
(2) Solid and engineered wood products refer to a variety of furniture products manufactured to meet the specific demands of the furniture market.
(3) The aforesaid information on the capacity and capacity utilization for the five manufacturing units reflects the impact of the manufacturing units that have
been relocated or merged with our existing facilities, as if such transition had occurred from the beginning of the reported period for the periods/years.
Below are the manufacturing facilities which have been either moved to different manufacturing facility or merged with existing/new manufacturing
facilities:
(i) Mattress production line at Manufacturing Facility III was moved to Manufacturing Facility V in May 2024.
(ii) Spring mattress production line at Manufacturing Facility II was moved to Manufacturing Facility V in March 2024.
(iii) Sofa production line at erstwhile Pune Facility was moved to Erstwhile Bengaluru Facility IV in November 2021. Further, Sofa production line at
erstwhile Hyderabad Facility was moved to Erstwhile Bengaluru Facility IV in December 2021. Subsequently, sofa production line at erstwhile
Bengaluru Facility IV was moved to Manufacturing Facility IV in June 2024.
(iv) Sofa production line at erstwhile Gurugram Facility was moved to Manufacturing Facility I in May 2023.

For further information, see “Our Business - Installed Capacity, Actual Production and Capacity Utilisation” on page 204.
Underutilization of our manufacturing capacities over extended periods, or significant under-utilization in the short term, could
limit our ability to leverage our economies of scale, our cost of production and our operating costs which could have an adverse
impact our business, growth prospects and future financial performance.
40. The premises of all of COCO – Regular Stores are leased, sub-leased or are on leave and license basis. If we fail to
renew these leases and leave and license agreements on competitive terms or if we are unable to manage our rental
costs, our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows would be adversely affected.
Our COCO – Regular Stores are on leased, sub-leased or licensed premises. We typically enter into lease, sub-lease or leave
and license agreement for a period of 5 years for our COCO – Regular Stores with an option to renew. If a lease, sub-lease or
leave and license agreement is renewed at a rate substantially higher than the existing rate, or if any existing favourable terms
granted by the lessor/sub-lessor are not extended, we must determine whether it is desirable to renew on such modified terms.
If we are unable to renew leases, sub-leases or licenses for our COCO – Regular Stores on acceptable terms or at all, we will
have to close or relocate the relevant COCO – Regular Stores, which would eliminate the sales that those COCO – Regular
Stores would have contributed to our revenues during the period of closure and could subject us to renovation and other costs
and risks. The table below sets forth details of rent expenses related to our COCO – Regular Stores for the period/ years
indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
ended September

Rent paid for COCO – Regular 267.50 414.58 160.33 45.34
Stores (₹ million)
Rent paid for COCO – Regular 3.69% 3.25% 1.63% 0.56%
Stores as a percentage of our
Revenue from operations
We are subject to lock-in provisions in some of our leases/sub-leases which may restrict our ability to terminate such leases/sub-
leases, including in the event the location of the leased premises is no longer profitable. Further, certain of our lease, sub-lease
and leave and license agreements include provisions specifying fixed increases in rental/fee payments over the respective terms
of the lease, sub-lease and leave and license agreements, with an average increase of 5% on an annual basis. While these
provisions have been negotiated and are specified in the respective lease, sub-lease and leave and license agreement, they will
increase our costs of operation and therefore may adversely affect our results of operation if we are not able to pass on the
increased costs to our customers. If our sales do not increase in line with our rent and costs, including setup and interior design
costs, our profitability, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Further, our leasehold/ sub-leasehold / license rights secure that any change in ownership of the leased/ sub-leased/ licensed
55premises shall not adversely affect our rights under the respective agreement. However, some of the lessors/ sub-lessors/
licensors have mortgaged the leased/ sub-leased / licensed premises or created a security interest over such property with their
respective creditors. We cannot assure that if due to any change in ownership arising out of such mortgage or security interest,
or default of the lessors/ licensors obligations towards their respective creditors will not impact our rights under the respective
agreements.
41. Our Registered and Corporate Office and manufacturing facilities are not located on land owned by us and we have
only leasehold rights. In the event we lose or are unable to renew such leasehold rights, our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected.
Our Registered and Corporate Office and manufacturing facilities are not located on land owned by us. The table below provides

The termination of our lease agreements, or our failure to renew such agreements, on favourable conditions and in a timely
manner, or at all, could require us to vacate such premises at short notice, which could adversely affect our business, results of
operations, cash flows and financial condition. While we intend to renew the abovementioned arrangements, we cannot assure
you that we will be able to renew any such arrangements when the term of the original arrangement expires, on similar terms
or terms reasonable for us or obtain any consent required under these arrangements in a timely manner or at all. In the event
that we are required to vacate our current premises, we would be required to make alternative arrangements, and we cannot
assure that the new arrangements will be on commercially acceptable terms. While we have not faced any instances of
difficulties in negotiating our lease arrangements or premature termination of existing lease agreements that led to any adverse
effect on our business or operations in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals, we cannot
assure you that such instances will not occur in the future.
42. After the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to collectively hold significant shareholding in our
Company, which will allow them to influence the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval.
As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Promoters collectively held 43.01% of the share capital of our Company on
a fully diluted basis. For details of their shareholding pre and post-Offer, see “Capital Structure” on page 82. After the
completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to collectively hold significant shareholding in our Company and will
continue to exercise significant influence over our business policies and affairs and all matters requiring Shareholders’ approval,
including the composition of our Board, the adoption of amendments to our certificate of incorporation, the approval of mergers,
strategic acquisitions or joint ventures or the sales of substantially all of our assets, and the policies for dividends, lending,
investments and capital expenditures or any other matter requiring special resolution. This concentration of ownership also may
delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our Company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible
without the support of these stockholders. The interests of the Promoters as our controlling shareholders could conflict with our
interests or the interests of our other shareholders. We cannot assure you that the Promoters will act to resolve any conflicts of
interest in our favour and any such conflict may adversely affect our ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our
56business. For further information in relation to the interests of our Promoters in the Company, see “Our Management” and “Our
Promoters and Promoter Group” on pages 229 and 247, respectively.
43. We have certain contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in the Restated Financial Information (₹ 80.81 million
as of September 30, 2025), which if they materialize, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.
As of September 30, 2025, our contingent liabilities that have been disclosed in our Restated Financial Information, were as
follows:
Particulars Amount
(₹ million)
Claims against the Company, not acknowledged as debt 80.81
Total 80.81
If a significant portion of these liabilities materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows. For further information, see “Restated Financial Information – Note 41 – Contingent
liabilities and capital commitments” on page 313.
44. Our Promoters may have interests in our Company and are therefore interested in our Company’s performance in
addition to their remuneration and reimbursement of expenses.
Our Promoters are interested in our Company, in addition to regular remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses,
to the extent of their shareholding in our Company. The table below sets forth the details of shareholding of our Promoters and
Directors, as applicable:
Names Percentage of total pre-Offer paid up Equity Share capital
Promoters
Ankit Garg* 33.03%
Chaitanya Ramalingegowda* 9.98%
* Also an Executive Director
We cannot assure you that our Promoters will exercise their rights as Shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our
Company. For further details, see “Capital Structure” and “Our Management” on pages 82 and 229 respectively.
45. Information relating to our installed capacity and the historical capacity utilization of our products included in this
Red Herring Prospectus is based on various assumptions and estimates and future production and capacity utilization
may vary.
The information relating to the installed capacity and capacity utilisation of certain of our products included in this Red Herring
Prospectus are based on various assumptions and estimates of our management that have been taken into account by the
independent chartered engineer in the calculation of our capacity. These assumptions and estimates include standard capacity
calculation practice in the industry in which we operate and capacity of other ancillary equipment installed at the relevant
manufacturing facility. Assumptions and estimates taken into account for measuring installed capacity include 300 working
days in a year, at 3 shifts per day. These details have been certified by way of a certificate dated November 29, 2025 from
Praveen Subramanya, independent chartered engineer, on behalf of AJVA SP Appraisal Services Private Limited. Actual
production levels and capacity utilization rates may therefore vary significantly from the installed capacity of our manufacturing
facilities. Undue reliance should therefore not be placed on our capacity information or historical capacity utilization
information for our existing facilities included in this Red Herring Prospectus. For further information regarding capacity of
our manufacturing units, see “Our Business – Installed Capacity, Actual Production and Capacity Utilisation” on page 204.
46. We will not receive any proceeds from the Offer for Sale.
The Offer consists of a Fresh Issue of up to [●] Equity Shares of face value of ₹1 each aggregating up to ₹3,771.78 million and
an Offer for Sale by the Selling Shareholders of up to 46,754,405 Equity Shares of face value of ₹1 each aggregating up to [●]
million. The Selling Shareholders, shall be entitled to the net proceeds from the Offer for Sale, which comprise proceeds from
the Offer for Sale net of Offer expenses for the share of the Offer for Sale, and our Company will not receive any proceeds from
the Offer for Sale. For further information, see “The Offer” and “Objects of the Offer – Offer for Sale ” on pages 67 and 119
respectively.
47. Certain sections of this Red Herring Prospectus disclose information from the Redseer Report which is a paid report
and commissioned and paid for by us exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such information
for making an investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.
57We have availed the services of an independent consulting company, Redseer Strategy Consultants Private Limited
(“Redseer”), appointed by our Company pursuant to an engagement letter dated February 13, 2025 to prepare an industry report
titled “Building India’s Home Story: Opportunity Landscape in Mattresses, Furniture, and Furnishings & Decor” dated
November 19, 2025, for purposes of inclusion of such information in this Red Herring Prospectus to understand the industry in
which we operate. The Redseer Report has been commissioned by our Company exclusively in connection with the Offer for a
fee, and our Company, Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel Senior Management do not have any other economic
interests in relation to Redseer. Our Company, Promoters, Directors, Key Managerial Personnel Senior Management Personnel
and Book Running Lead Managers are not related to Redseer. This Redseer Report is subject to various limitations and based
upon certain assumptions that are subjective in nature. Further the commissioned report is not a recommendation to invest or
divest in our Company. Prospective investors are advised not to unduly rely on the commissioned report or extracts thereof as
included in this Red Herring Prospectus, when making their investment decisions.
48. Internal or external fraud or misconduct by our employees could adversely affect our reputation and our results of
operations.
We may be subject to instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and
employees which may go unnoticed for certain periods of time before corrective action is taken. Fraudulent and unauthorised
conduct by our employees could also bind us to transactions that exceed the scope of authorisation and present significant risks
to us. As a result, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions, brand and reputational damage or financial harm. It is not always
possible to deter fraud or misconduct by employees and the precautions we take and the systems we have put in place to prevent
and deter such activities may not be effective in all cases. Further, we employ third parties for certain operations and
accordingly, we are exposed to the risk of theft and embezzlement. In addition, we may be subject to regulatory or other
proceedings in connection with such acts by our employees, which could adversely affect our goodwill. Even if we identify
instances of fraud, misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and employees and pursue legal
recourse or file claims, we cannot assure you that we will recover any amounts lost through such instances of fraud,
misappropriation, unauthorised acts and misconduct by our representatives and employees. In the past, we have faced an
instance of an unauthorized attempt to remove products from our warehouse by some of our ex-employees from the warehouse
operated by the Company in Howrah, Kolkata. In this regard, we have lodged an FIR with the concerned police station and the
matter is currently pending before the High Court of Calcutta. Further, in the past, we have faced another instance of cheating
and criminal breach of trust against our Company by our employee pursuant to which we have lodged an FIR before the
Kankarbagh police station, Patna, Bihar.For details, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material Developments” on page
366. While we did not incur any losses pursuant to the abovementioned incidents and have implemented measures such as
fixing bugs in our order management system and conducting a manual approval check before releasing refunds to prevent such
instances of fraudulent transactions, such instances may arise in the future, and could adversely affect our business, results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows.
49. Failures in internal control systems could cause operational errors which may have an adverse effect on our reputation,
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control measures commensurate with the size and
complexity of operations. Our internal audit functions make an evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal systems
on an ongoing basis so that our operations adhere to our policies, compliance requirements and internal guidelines. We
periodically test and update our internal processes and systems and there have been no instances of failure to maintain effective
internal controls and compliance system in the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and the last three Fiscals which
had an adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows. However, we are exposed to
operational risks arising from the potential inadequacy or failure of internal processes or systems, and our actions may not be
sufficient to ensure effective internal checks and balances in all circumstances.
We take reasonable steps to maintain appropriate procedures for compliance and disclosure and to maintain effective internal
controls over our financial reporting so that we produce reliable financial reports and prevent financial fraud. As risks evolve
and develop, internal controls must be reviewed on an ongoing basis. Maintaining such internal controls requires human
diligence and compliance and is therefore subject to lapses in judgment and failures that result from human error. Any lapses
in judgment or failures that result from human error can affect the accuracy of our financial reporting, resulting in a loss of
investor confidence and a decline in the price of our equity shares.
50. We have included in this Red Herring Prospectus certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry
measures related to our operations and financial performance. These non-GAAP measures and industry measures may
vary from any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry, and therefore may not be comparable with
financial or industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature computed and presented by other
companies.
Certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other industry measures relating to our operations and financial performance
such as EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Capital Employed and Return on
58Capital Employed, PAT Margin, Net Worth and Return on Net Worth (%), Net Asset Value per Equity Share, and Net working
capital days have been included in this Red Herring Prospectus. We compute and disclose such non-GAAP financial measures
and such other industry related statistical information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such
information to be useful measures of our business and financial performance, and because such measures are frequently used
by securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate the operational performance of the industry, many of which provide such
non-GAAP financial measures and other industry related statistical and operational information. Such supplemental financial
and operational information is therefore of limited utility as an analytical tool, and investors are cautioned against considering
such information either in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our audited financial statements as reported under
applicable accounting standards disclosed elsewhere in this Red Herring Prospectus. These non-GAAP financial measures and
such other industry related statistical and other information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be
computed on the basis of any standard methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable
to financial measures and industry related statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented
by other companies. For further information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” on page 351.
51. We have, in the last 12 months, issued Equity Shares at a price that could be higher/lower than the Offer Price.
We have issued Equity Shares at prices that could be higher/lower than the Offer Price during the last one year from the date
of this Red Herring Prospectus. For details, see “Capital Structure – Securities or Equity Shares issued at a price lower than
the Offer Price in the preceding on year” on page 100. Specifically, on November 14, 2025, our Company allotted 2,871,794
Equity Shares of face value ₹1 each at a price of ₹195 per Equity Share aggregating to ₹560.00 million by way of a Pre-IPO
Placement. The price at which Equity Shares have been issued by our Company in the preceding one year, including the issuance
through the Pre-IPO Placement, could be higher/lower than the Offer Price and the prices at which Equity Shares were issued
by us in the past should not be taken to be indicative of the Price Band, Offer Price and the trading price of our Equity Shares
after listing
52. We are yet to receive approval from the RBI in relation to the FC–GPR filed under applicable law for the Pre–IPO
Placement and there is a possibility that we may be subject to regulatory proceedings or actions including penalty in
the future, in case of any delay.
In relation to the Pre-IPO Placement dated November 14, 2025, our Company has filed the Form FC-GPR with the RBI on
November 28, 2025, for the allotment of 2,051,282 Equity Shares of face value of ₹1 each to DSP India Fund – India Long/Short
Strategy Fund with Cash Management Option, and as on date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we are yet to receive the approval
from the RBI in relation to the same. In the event there is any delay in the receipt of approval from the RBI or if our form FC-
GPR is rejected, we may be required to pay additional late submission fees, and/or compound such non-compliance, which may
also subject us to penalties or further regulatory action.
53. Our Company may not be able to pay dividends in the future. Our ability to pay dividends in the future will depend
upon our future earnings, financial condition, profit after tax available for distribution, cash flows, working capital
requirements and capital expenditure and the terms of our financing arrangements.
Any dividends to be declared and paid in the future are required to be recommended by our Company’s Board of Directors and
approved by its Shareholders, at their discretion, subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and applicable law,
including the Companies Act, 2013. Our Company’s ability to pay dividends in the future will depend upon our future results
of operations, financial condition, profit after tax available for distribution, cash flows, sufficient profitability, working capital
requirements and capital expenditure requirements. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient revenues to cover our
operating expenses and, as such, pay dividends to our Company’s shareholders in future consistent with our past practices, or
at all. We have not declared any dividends on the Equity Shares during the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and
last three Fiscals and during the period from January 1, 2025, until the date of this Red Herring Prospectus. For information
pertaining to dividend policy, see “Dividend Policy” on page 250.
External Risk Factors
54. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of tax laws, may adversely
affect our business, prospects and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate are evolving and are subject to change. The Government of India
may implement new laws or other regulations and policies that could affect our business in general, which could lead to new
compliance requirements, including requiring us to obtain approvals and licenses from the Government and other regulatory
bodies, or impose onerous requirements. Any such implementation or amendment may result in us being non-compliant with
such governing laws till the time we implement the requirements of such amended laws. In relation to goods and services bought
or sold over our website or any digital platform or digital marketplace, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Consumer
Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020 prescribes punishment for false or misleading advertisements. The Legal Metrology Act,
592009 (“LM Act”) and the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011 (“Packaged Commodity Rules”) require
certain standards to be followed for labelling, packaging, weights and measures for retail sale, wholesale packages and for
export of packaged commodities failing which there can be penalty imposed on the manufacturer or seizure of goods or
imprisonment.
For instance, the GoI has introduced (a) the Code on Wages, 2019; (b) the Code on Social Security, 2020; (c) the Occupational
Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020; and (d) the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 which consolidate, subsume
and replace numerous existing central labour legislations. While the rules for implementation under these codes have not been
notified, 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 and increase our expenses.
The Information Technology Act, 2000 (“IT Act”), as amended and the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices
and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 (“IT Security Rules”), impose limitations and
restrictions on the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. It also mandates body corporates to adopt a privacy
policy, to obtain consent from data subjects for collecting or transferring their sensitive personal data or information and
intimate them about recipients of such collected data, as a mechanism of establishing a robust security standard. The Information
Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (“IT Intermediary Rules”) requires
intermediaries receiving, storing, transmitting or providing any service with respect to electronic messages to not knowingly
host, publish, transmit, select or modify any information prohibited under these IT Intermediary Rules and to disable hosting,
publishing, transmission, selection or modification of such information once they become aware of it, as well as specifying the
due diligence to be observed by intermediaries. The IT Intermediary Rules also make it mandatory for an intermediary to
publish, the privacy policy, rules and regulations, and user agreement for access or usage of the intermediary's computer
resource by any person on its website, and also establish a grievance redressal mechanism. Practices regarding the collection,
use, storage, transmission and security of personal information by companies operating over the internet have recently come
under increased public scrutiny around the world. Further, the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology,
Government of India has also recently notified and published the DPDP Rules. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
and the DPDP Rules require us to protect the privacy of our customers and prohibit unauthorised disclosure of personal
information. The DPDP Rules regulate the processing of personal data in India, ensuring that the privacy rights of individuals
are protected and to provide an actionable framework. For details, see “ – Any failure of our information technology systems
and tools could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows” on page 54.
Uncertainty in the applicability, 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 impact the viability of our current businesses or restrict our ability to grow our
businesses in the future. For instance, the Supreme Court of India has in a decision clarified the components of basic wages
which need to be considered by companies while making provident fund payments, which resulted in an increase in the
provident fund payments to be made by companies. Any such decisions in future or any further changes in interpretation of
laws may have an impact on our results of operations.
55. Natural or man-made disasters, fires, epidemics, pandemics, acts of war, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other events
could materially and adversely affect our business.
The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires, explosions,
pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results
of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may adversely affect the
Indian securities markets. In addition, any deterioration in international relations, especially between India and its neighbouring
countries, may result in investor concern regarding regional stability which could adversely affect the price of the Equity Shares.
In addition, India has witnessed local civil disturbances in recent years and it is possible that future civil unrest as well as other
adverse social, economic or political events in India could have an adverse effect on our business. Such incidents could also
create a greater perception that investment in Indian companies involves a higher degree of risk and could have an adverse
effect on our business and the market price of the Equity Shares.
56. A downgrade in ratings of India and other jurisdictions we operate in may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Our access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the sovereign credit ratings of India. Any further adverse revisions
to credit ratings for India and other jurisdictions we operate in by international rating agencies may adversely impact our ability
to raise additional financing. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms and
consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of the Equity Shares.
57. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.
We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth and market
60price of our Equity Shares are and will be dependent to a large extent on the health of the economy in which we operate. There
have been periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India. Demand for our products may be adversely affected by an
economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies. Economic growth in the countries in which we operate is
affected by various factors including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand
and movements in key imports (oil and oil products), global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange
currency rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production. The recent hostility between India and Pakistan has
further exacerbated regional economic uncertainty. Consequently, any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our
business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Also, a change in the government or a change in the economic
and deregulation policies could adversely affect economic conditions prevalent in the areas in which we operate in general and
our business in particular and high rates of inflation in India could increase our costs without proportionately increasing our
revenues, and as such decrease our operating margins.
58. Significant differences exist between Ind AS and other accounting principles, such as U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which
investors may be more familiar with and may consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.
The Restated Financial Information is prepared in accordance with Ind AS and restated in accordance with requirements of
Section 26 of Part I of Chapter III of the Companies Act, 2013, the SEBI ICDR Regulations and the Guidance Note on “Reports
in Company Prospectuses (Revised 2019)” issued by the ICAI. Ind AS differs in certain significant respects from Indian GAAP,
IFRS, U.S. GAAP and other accounting principles with which prospective investors may be familiar in other countries. We
have not attempted to quantify their impact of US GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in this Red Herring Prospectus
nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US GAAP or IFRS. US GAAP and IFRS differ in
significant respects from Ind AS. Prospective investors should review the accounting policies applied in the preparation of our
financial statements, and consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of the differences between these
accounting principles and those with which they may be more familiar. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian
accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Red Herring Prospectus should be limited accordingly.
59. We may be affected by competition laws in India, the adverse application or interpretation of which could adversely
affect our business.
The Competition Act, 2002, of India, as amended (“Competition Act”), regulates practices having an appreciable adverse
effect on competition in the relevant market in India (“AAEC”). Under the Competition Act, any formal or informal
arrangement, understanding or action in concert, which causes or is likely to cause an AAEC is considered void and may result
in the imposition of substantial penalties. Further, any agreement among competitors which directly or indirectly involves the
determination of purchase or sale prices, limits or controls production, supply, markets, technical development, investment or
the provision of services or shares the market or source of production or provision of services in any manner, including by way
of allocation of geographical area or number of consumers in the relevant market or directly or indirectly results in bid-rigging
or collusive bidding is presumed to have an AAEC and is considered void. The Competition Act also prohibits abuse of a
dominant position by any enterprise. If it is proved that the contravention committed by a company took place with the consent
or connivance or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of such company,
that person shall be also guilty of the contravention and may be punished.
Further, the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”) has extra-territorial powers and can investigate any agreements, abusive
conduct or combination occurring outside India if such agreement, conduct or combination has an AAEC in India. However,
the impact of the provisions of the Competition Act on the agreements entered into by us cannot be predicted with certainty at
this stage. In the event we pursue an acquisition in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or
interpretation of any provision of the Competition Act, or any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, or any adverse
publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI or if any prohibition or substantial penalties are levied
under the Competition Act, it would adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects. The manner
in which the Competition Act and the CCI affect the business environment in India may also adversely affect our business,
financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Amendment Act”) was recently notified. The Competition
Amendment Act amends the Competition Act and give the CCI additional powers to prevent practices that harm competition
and the interests of consumers. The Competition Amendment Act, inter alia, modifies the scope of certain factors used to
determine AAEC, reduces the overall time limit for the assessment of combinations by the CCI from 210 days to 150 days and
empowers the CCI to impose penalties based on the global turnover of entities, for anti-competitive agreements and abuse of
dominant position. The Competition Amendment Act also proposed amendments such as introduction of deal value thresholds
for assessing whether a merger or acquisition qualifies as a “combination,” expedited merger review timelines, codification of
the lowest standard of “control” and enhanced penalties for failing to provide material information.
If we pursue acquisition transactions in the future, we may be affected, directly or indirectly, by the application or interpretation
of any provision of the Competition Act, any enforcement proceedings initiated by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may be
generated due to scrutiny or prosecution by the CCI, any adverse publicity that may be generated due to scrutiny or prosecution
61by the CCI, or any prohibition or substantial penalties levied under the Competition Act, which would adversely affect our
business, results of our operations, cash flows and prospects.
60. The Indian tax regime has undergone substantial changes which could adversely affect our business and the trading
price of the Equity Shares.
Our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected by any change in the extensive central
and state tax regime in India as applicable to us and our business.
Any change in Indian tax laws in a central or state level could have an effect on our operations. The GoI has implemented two
major reforms in Indian tax laws, namely the Goods and Services Tax (“GST”), and provisions relating to general anti-
avoidance rules (“GAAR”). The indirect tax regime in India has undergone a complete overhaul. The indirect taxes on goods
and services, such as central excise duty, service tax, central sales tax, state value added tax, surcharge and excise have been
replaced by GST with effect from July 1, 2017. The GST regime continues to be subject to amendments and its interpretation
by the relevant regulatory authorities is constantly evolving. GAAR became effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences
of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement may result in, among others, a denial of tax benefit to us and our
business. In the absence of any substantial precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is subjective. If the
GAAR provisions are made applicable to us, it may have an adverse tax impact on us. Further, if the tax costs associated with
certain of our transactions are greater than anticipated because of a particular tax risk materializing on account of new tax
regulations and policies, it could affect our profitability from such transactions. The Union Finance Minister recently announced
the Income Tax Bill, 2025 (“IT Bill”) on February 13, 2025, which seeks to simplify the language and restructuring of
provisions of the existing Income Tax Act, 1961 (“Income Tax Act”). The IT Bill is proposed to be enacted and come into
force on April 1, 2026.
Earlier, distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”), in the hands of
the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess). Such dividends were generally exempt
from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, the GoI has amended the Income-tax Act, 1961 (“Income Tax Act”) to
abolish the DDT regime. Accordingly, any dividend distribution by a domestic company is subject to tax in the hands of the
investor at the applicable rate. Additionally, the Company is required to withhold tax on such dividends distributed at the
applicable rate.
The Government of India announced the union budget for Fiscal 2026, following which the Finance Bill, 2025 (“Finance Bill”)
was introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 1, 2025. The Finance Bill will be enacted on April 1, 2025. Investors are advised
to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in the
Equity Shares. There is no certainty on the impact that the Finance Act may have on our business and operations or on the
industry in which we operate. Uncertainty in the applicability, 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 business in the future.
We cannot predict whether any new tax laws or regulations impacting our services will be enacted, what the nature and impact
of the specific terms of any such laws or regulations will be or whether if at all, any laws or regulations would have an adverse
effect on our business. Further, any adverse order passed by the appellate authorities/ tribunals/ courts would have an effect on
our profitability. In addition, we are subject to tax related inquiries and claims.
61. If inflation were to rise in India, we might not be able to increase the prices of our products at a proportional rate in
order to pass costs on to our consumers thereby reducing our margins.
Inflation rates in India have been volatile in recent years, and such volatility may continue in the future. India has experienced
high inflation in the recent past. Increased inflation can contribute to an increase in interest rates and increased costs to our
business, including increased costs of wages and other expenses. High fluctuations in inflation rates may make it more difficult
for us to accurately estimate or control our costs. Any increase in inflation in India can increase our expenses, which we may
not be able to adequately pass on to our consumers, whether entirely or in part, and may adversely affect our business, results
of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or increase the price
of our products to pass the increase in costs on to our consumers. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows
and financial condition may be adversely affected. Further, the Government of India has previously initiated economic measures
to combat high inflation rates, and it is unclear whether these measures will remain in effect. There can be no assurance that
Indian inflation levels will not worsen in the future. In such case, our business, results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows may be adversely affected.
62. The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions and the Offer Price, price to earnings
ratio and market capitalization to revenue multiple based on the Offer Price of our Company, may not be indicative of
the market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.
62Our revenue from operations for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ 12,736.91 million and profit/(loss) for Fiscal 2025 was ₹ (350.04) million.
The table below provides details of our price to earnings ratio and market capitalization to revenue from operations at the upper
end of the Price Band:
Particulars Price to Earnings Ratio Market Capitalization to Revenue
Fiscal 2025 [●]* [●]*
*To be populated at Prospectus stage.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by our Company in
consultation with the BRLMs. The relevant financial parameters based on which the Price Band will be determined shall be
disclosed in the advertisement that will be issued for the publication of the Price Band. Further, the Offer Price of the Equity
Shares is proposed to be determined on the basis of assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares offered through the
book-building process prescribed under the SEBI ICDR Regulations, and certain quantitative and qualitative factors as set out
in the section “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 130 and the Offer Price, multiples and ratios may not be indicative of the
market price of the Company on listing or thereafter.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock Exchanges
may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing does not guarantee that a market for the Equity Shares will develop, or
if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
The market price of the Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations
in our operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India, announcements
by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us, volatility in the securities markets in
India and other jurisdictions, 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. As a result, we cannot assure you that an
active market will develop or sustained trading will take place in the Equity Shares or provide any assurance regarding the price
at which the Equity Shares will be traded after listing. Further, the market price of the Equity Shares may decline below the
Offer Price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
63. Pursuant to listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to pre-emptive surveillance measures like Additional
Surveillance Measure (“ASM”) and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchanges in order to
enhance market integrity and safeguard the interest of investors.
SEBI and Stock Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard interest of investors, have been introducing
various enhanced pre-emptive surveillance measures. The main objective of these measures is to alert and advice investors to
be extra cautious while dealing in these securities and advice market participants to carry out necessary due diligence while
dealing in these securities. Accordingly, SEBI and Stock Exchanges have provided for (a) GSM on securities where such trading
price of such securities does not commensurate with financial health and fundamentals such as earnings, book value, fixed
assets, net-worth, price per equity multiple and market capitalization; and (b) ASM on securities with surveillance concerns
based on objective parameters such as price and volume variation and volatility.
On listing, we may be subject to general market conditions which may include significant price and volume fluctuations. The
price of our Equity Shares may also fluctuate after the Offer due to several factors such as volatility in the Indian and global
securities market, our profitability and performance, performance of our competitors, changes in the estimates of our
performance or any other political or economic factor. The occurrence of any of the abovementioned factors may trigger the
parameters identified by SEBI and the Stock Exchanges for placing securities under the GSM or ASM framework such as net
worth and net fixed assets of securities, high low variation in securities, client concentration and close to close price variation.
In the event our Equity Shares are covered under such pre-emptive surveillance measures implemented by SEBI and the Stock
Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in relation to trading of our Equity Shares such as limiting
trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month) or freezing of price on upper side of trading
which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the
development of an active market for and trading of our Equity Shares.
64. The Equity Shares have never been publicly traded and the Offer may not result in an active or liquid market for the
Equity Shares. Further, the price of the Equity Shares may be volatile, and the investors may be unable to resell the
Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all.
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. Our Equity Shares are expected to trade on
NSE and BSE after the Offer, but there can be no assurance that active trading in our Equity Shares will develop after the Offer,
or if such trading develops that it will continue. Investors may not be able to sell our Equity Shares at the quoted price if there
63is no active trading in our Equity Shares. There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and
the trading price of our Equity Shares after the Offer could fluctuate significantly as a result of market volatility or due to
various internal or external risks, including but not limited to those described in this Red Herring Prospectus. The market price
of our Equity Shares may be influenced by many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including, among others:
• the failure of security analysts to cover the Equity Shares after the Offer, or changes in the estimates of our performance
by analysts;
• the activities of competitors and suppliers;
• future sales of the Equity Shares by us or our Shareholders;
• investor perception of us and the industry in which we operate;
• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations of principles;
• our quarterly or annual earnings or those of our competitors;
• developments affecting fiscal, industrial or environmental regulations; and
• the public’s reaction to our press releases and adverse media reports.
A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.
65. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income arising on the sale of the Equity Shares.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares in an Indian
company is generally taxable in India. A securities transaction tax (“STT”) is levied both at the time of transfer and acquisition
of the equity shares (unless exempted under a prescribed notification), and the STT is collected by an Indian stock exchange on
which the equity shares are sold. Any capital gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares on a recognised stock exchange
held for more than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer will be subject to long term capital gains in India at
the specified rates depending on certain factors, such as whether the sale is undertaken on or off the recognised stock exchanges,
the quantum of gains, and any available treaty relief.
The Government of India announced the union budget for Financial Year 2025-2026, following which the Finance Bill, 2025
(“Finance Bill”) was introduced in the Lok Sabha on February 1, 2025. Subsequently, the Finance Bill received the assent from
the President of India and became the Finance Act, 2025, with effect from April 1, 2025 as amended by the Finance Act (No.2),
(“Finance Act”). As per the Finance Act, in case of domestic company, the rate of income-tax shall be 25% of the total income,
if the total turnover or gross receipts of the previous year 2023-24 does not exceed ₹ 400 crores and where the companies
continue in Section 115BA regime. In all other cases the rate of income-tax shall be 30% of the total income. However, domestic
companies also have an option to opt for taxation under section 115BAA of the Act on fulfilment of conditions contained
therein. The rate of income-tax rate is 22% under section 115BAA, having a surcharge at 10% on such tax. Investors are advised
to consult their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning, investing or trading in the
Equity Shares.
For tax deduction on securities, the Finance Act increases the limit in relation to the amount or the aggregate of amounts of
income by way of interest on securities from ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 10,000. With regard to the requirement of no tax being liable to be
deducted on dividend, the Finance Act has increased limit on amount of dividend earned from ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 10,000.
The Income Tax Act, 1961 (“Income Tax Act”) was amended to provide domestic companies an option to pay corporate
income tax at the effective rate of 25.17% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and health and education cess), as compared to an
effective rate of 34.94% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and health and education cess), provided such companies do not
claim certain specified deductions or exemptions. Further, where a company has opted to pay the reduced corporate tax rate,
the minimum alternate tax provisions would not be applicable. Any such future amendments may affect our ability to claim
exemptions that we have historically benefited from, and such exemptions may no longer be available to us. Additionally, the
Union Cabinet, Government of India has recently approved the Income Tax Bill, 2025 which inter alia, proposes to amend the
income tax regime and replace the Income Tax Act, 1961. There is no certainty on the impact of the Income Tax Bill, 2025,
once enacted, on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations or on the industry in which we operate.
In the past, the distribution of dividends by a domestic company was subject to Dividend Distribution Tax (“DDT”), in the
hands of the company at an effective rate of 20.56% (inclusive of applicable surcharge and cess). Such dividends were generally
exempt from tax in the hands of the shareholders. However, under the Finance Act 2020, any dividends paid by an Indian
company will be subject to tax in the hands of the shareholders at applicable rates. Such taxes will be withheld by the Indian
64company paying dividends. Further, the Finance Act, 2021, which followed, removed the requirement for DDT to be payable
in respect of dividends declared, distributed or paid by a domestic company after March 31, 2020, and accordingly, such
dividends would not be exempt in the hands of the shareholders, both resident as well as non-resident. Non-resident shareholders
may claim benefit of the applicable tax treaty, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Our Company may or may not grant
the benefit of a tax treaty (where applicable) to a non-resident Shareholder for the purposes of deducting tax at source pursuant
to any corporate action, including dividends. Any business income realized from the transfer of Equity Shares held as trading
assets is taxable at the applicable tax rates subject to any treaty relief, if applicable, to a non-resident seller.
We cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act would have an adverse effect on our business,
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing laws, rules and
regulations, 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.
66. Investors will not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares they purchase in
the Offer.
The Equity Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchanges. Pursuant to applicable Indian laws, certain actions must be completed
before the Equity Shares can be listed and trading in the Equity Shares may commence. The Allotment and transfer of Equity
Shares in this Offer and the credit of such Equity Shares to the applicant’s demat account within the timeline specified under
applicable law. There could be a failure or delay in the listing of the Equity Shares on the Stock Exchanges. Any failure or
delay in obtaining the approval or otherwise any delay in commencing trading in the Equity Shares would restrict investors’
ability to dispose of their Equity Shares. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares will be credited to investors’ demat
accounts, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence, within the time periods specified in this risk factor. We could
also be required to pay interest at the applicable rates if allotment is not made, refund orders are not dispatched or demat credits
are not made to investors within the prescribed time periods.
67. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity linked instruments by us may dilute your
shareholding and sale of Equity Shares by shareholders with significant shareholding may adversely affect the trading
price of the Equity Shares.
We may be required to finance our growth through future equity offerings. Any future equity issuances by us, including a
primary offering of Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares, may lead to the dilution of
investors’ shareholdings in our Company. Any future equity issuances by us or sales of our Equity Shares by our shareholders
may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to other adverse consequences including difficulty
in raising capital through offering of our Equity Shares or incurring additional debt. Any disposal of Equity Shares by our major
shareholders or the perception that such issuance or sales may occur, including to comply with the minimum public shareholding
norms applicable to listed companies in India may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares, which may lead to
other adverse consequences including difficulty in raising capital through offering of the Equity Shares or incurring additional
debt. There can be no assurance that we will not issue Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to Equity Shares
or that our Shareholders will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future. Any future issuances could
also dilute the value of your investment in the Equity Shares. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or
sales might occur may also affect the market price of our Equity Shares.
68. Under Indian law, foreign investors are subject to investment restrictions that limit our ability to attract foreign
investors, which may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Under foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfer of shares between non-residents and residents are freely
permitted (subject to compliance with sectoral norms and certain other restrictions), if they comply with the pricing guidelines
and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance
with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or falls under any of the exceptions referred to above, then a prior
approval of the RBI will be required. Further, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors
of the Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain
prescribed procedures for making such investment.
Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and
repatriate that foreign currency from India require a no-objection or a tax clearance certificate from the Indian income tax
authorities. As provided in the foreign exchange controls currently in effect in India, the RBI has provided that the price at
which the Equity Shares are transferred be calculated in accordance with internationally accepted pricing methodology for the
valuation of shares at an arm’s length basis, and a higher (or lower, as applicable) price per share may not be permitted. We
cannot assure investors that any required approval from the RBI or any other Indian government agency can be obtained on any
particular terms, or at all. Further, due to possible delays in obtaining requisite approvals, investors in the Equity Shares may
be prevented from realizing gains during periods of price increase or limiting losses during periods of price decline. In addition,
pursuant to the Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, which has been incorporated as the
65proviso to Rule 6(a) of the FEMA Non-debt Rules, all investments under the foreign direct investment route by entities of a
country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of the Equity Shares is situated in or is a citizen of
any such country, can only be made through the Government approval route, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy dated
October 15, 2020 and the FEMA Rules. While the term “beneficial owner” is defined under the Prevention of Money-
Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005 and the General Financial Rules, 2017, neither the foreign direct investment
policy nor the FEMA Rules provide a definition of the term “beneficial owner”. The interpretation of “beneficial owner” and
enforcement of this regulatory change involves certain uncertainties, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to raise
foreign capital. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in
India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/purview, such
subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India. These investment
restrictions shall also apply to subscribers of offshore derivative instruments. Additionally, there is uncertainty regarding the
timeline within which the said approval from the GoI may be obtained, if at all.
For further information, see “Restrictions on Foreign Ownership of Indian Securities” on page 423.
69. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect on the
value of the Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
Upon listing, the Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of the Equity
Shares will be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into appropriate foreign currency for repatriation. In addition,
any adverse movement in exchange rates during a delay in repatriating the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares outside India,
for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares, may reduce the net
proceeds received by shareholders.
70. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity
Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after the submission of their Bid, and Retail Individual Bidders are not
permitted to withdraw their Bids after closure of the Bid/ Offer Closing Date.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and NIBs are required to pay the Bid Amount on submission of the Bid and are
not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after
submitting a Bid. Retail Individual Bidders can revise their Bids during the Bid/ Offer Period and withdraw their Bids until the
Bid/ Offer Closing Date. While we are required to complete all necessary formalities for listing and commencement of trading
of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such Equity Shares are proposed to be listed, including Allotment, within
three Working Days from the Bid/ Offer Closing Date or such other period as may be prescribed by the SEBI, events affecting
the investors’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse changes in international or national monetary policy,
financial, political or economic conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition may arise
between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. We may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such
events occur, and such events may limit the Investors’ ability to sell the Equity Shares Allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause
the trading price of the Equity Shares to decline on listing.
71. Investors may be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and thereby may suffer
future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, 2013, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer its holders of equity
shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of shares to maintain their existing ownership
percentages before the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by adoption of a
special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the equity shares voting on such resolution.
However, if the law of the jurisdiction the investors are in, does not permit them to exercise their pre-emptive rights without
our Company filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, the
investors will be unable to exercise their pre-emptive rights unless our Company makes such a filing. If we elect not to file a
registration statement, the new securities may be issued to a custodian, who may sell the securities for the investor’s benefit.
The value such custodian receives on the sale of such securities and the related transaction costs cannot be predicted. In addition,
to the extent that the investors are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares held by them,
their proportional interest in our Company would be reduced.
72. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity of corporate
procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would
apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law may not be as extensive and wide-spread as
shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as
shareholder of our Company than as a shareholder of an entity in another jurisdiction.

risk.
# To be finalized upon determination of the Offer Price and updated in the Prospectus prior to filing with the RoC. The amount to be utilised for general
corporate purposes shall not exceed 25% of the Gross Proceeds.
^ While the size, number and exact area of the COCO – Regular Stores may vary and depend on various factors as mentioned below, the COCO – Regular
Stores are proposed to be set up on an overall aggregate area measuring approximately 180,300 square feet.
^^ In the the event that the lease, leave and license or sub-lease agreements for any of the existing COCO – Regular Stores are terminated prior to the
completion of its terms, or if any of such agreements are amended to reduce the respective lease, sub-lease rent or license fee amount, we may use the
remaining/surplus Net Proceeds towards lease, sub-lease rent or license fee payments for the new COCO – Regular Stores which shall be set up from the
Net Proceeds.
The fund requirements, the deployment of funds and the intended use of the Net Proceeds as described in this section are based
on our current business plan, management estimates, market conditions and other external commercial and technical factors.
However, such fund requirements and deployment of funds have not been appraised by any bank, or financial institution. We
may have to revise our funding requirements and deployment schedule on account of a variety of factors such as our financial
condition, business and strategy, competition, variation in cost estimates and other external factors such as changes in the
business environment, market conditions, regulatory frameworks and interest or exchange rate fluctuations, which may not be
within the control of our management. This may entail rescheduling or revising the planned expenditure and funding
requirements, including the expenditure for a particular purpose at the discretion of our management, subject to compliance
with applicable laws. For details in relation to the discretion available to our management in respect of use of the Net Proceeds,
see, “Risk Factors – Our funding requirement and the proposed deployment of Net Proceeds have not been appraised by any
bank or financial institution or any other independent agency. Our Management will have broad discretion over the use of the
Net Proceeds.” on page 52.
Further, in case of variations in the actual utilisation 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. In the event that the estimated utilisation of the Net Proceeds in a scheduled Financial
Year is not completely met, due to reasons stated above, the same shall be utilised in the next Financial Year, as may be
determined by our Company, in accordance with applicable laws. Additionally, we may also utilise a portion of the Net Proceeds
allocated for a scheduled Financial Year in advance in case of additional requirement of funds. If the actual utilisation towards
of the Objects is lower than the proposed deployment, such balance will be used towards general corporate purposes (to the
extent that the total amount to be utilised towards general corporate purposes is within the permissible limits in accordance with
the SEBI ICDR Regulations) or any other Object, in accordance with the applicable laws. Further, we will take all necessary
board approvals for utilisations of Net Proceeds, as and when required.
Details of the Objects
1. Capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for setting up of 117 new COCO – Regular Stores
We sell our products through a comprehensive omnichannel strategy that integrates both our own channels and external
channels, enabling us to reach customers in more than 700 districts across 28 states and 6 union territories. In the offline format,
we either sell all of our products through our COCO – Regular Stores which are owned and operated by us or we retail some
of our products through MBOs wherein products of multiple brands are sold and the outlets are operated by third parties. In
120addition to the above, we also have an online presence through our website and other online marketplaces including e-commerce
and quick commerce platforms which ensures easy access to our products for our customers. For further details, see “Our
Business” on page 176. The first COCO – Regular Store of our Company was launched on March 11, 2022 in Lucknow, Uttar
Pradesh. Our COCO – Regular Stores have grown from 23 COCO – Regular Stores as of March 31, 2023, to 125 COCO –
Regular Stores as of September 30, 2025, which exclusively retail products under our ‘Wakefit’ brand. These outlets provide a
controlled and branded environment where customers can experience our products firsthand, and engage with our trained staff
members, which we believe fosters a deeper connection with our brand. Our COCO – Regular Stores are exclusively managed
and operated by our Company and therefore all of the capital and operational costs involved in operating the COCO – Regular
Stores are incurred exclusively by us through our internal accruals/ external borrowing from financial institutions.
Our strategy for adding more COCO – Regular Stores is data-driven and focuses on identifying locations with higher business
potential. We assess market demand, population density, and demographic trends to understand where our products have the
best potential. By analysing customer data, we pinpoint underserved areas that could benefit from our COCO – Regular Stores.
We also evaluate the competitive landscape to find locations with competition for ready catchment or where we can differentiate
ourselves. We also review the sales performance of our existing COCO – Regular Stores to identify successful patterns and
replicate them in new areas. This approach helps us reach more customers and boost sales.
The number of COCO – Regular Stores established by our Company in the last three Financial Years and for the six months
period ended September 30, 2025, are as follows:

*As certified by Manian & Rao, Chartered Accountants having firm registration number 001983S, pursuant to their certificate dated November 29, 2025.
# Reason for closure of certain COCO – Regular Stores is due to low revenue generation and due to relocation of the COCO – Regular Stores to other locations
within India.
We believe that there is an opportunity for growth in the markets in which we operate and in order to build on our expansion,
we plan to strategically increase our presence offline. Our COCO – Regular Stores offer customers a hands-on experience with
our products, enhancing their understanding and trust in our brand. As of September 30, 2025, our COCO – Regular Store’s
size ranges between 322 square feet to 8,867 square feet, with the average store size of 3,154.56 square feet. The size and layout
of our COCO – Regular Stores are dependent on several factors which include: (i) potential footfall estimates; (ii) average
spend quotient in the relevant area; (iii) presence of competitors; (iv) cost of rent; (v) spending capacity of the customer; (vi)
growth trends; (vii) total addressable market; and (viii) rent to revenue metric.
Proposed utilisation of Net Proceeds
As on date of this Red Herring Prospectus, our Board of Directors have approved the business expansion plan of opening 117
COCO – Regular Stores in Financial Years 2027 and 2028 pursuant to its resolution dated June 26, 2025. We propose to utilise
₹308.42 million from the Net Proceeds during Financial Years 2027 and 2028 towards the opening of 117 COCO – Regular
Stores across multiple cities and districts across India. We will also continue to grow our business by opening new COCO –
Regular Stores in Financial Year 2026 through our internal accruals.
Our Company proposes to set up 117 COCO – Regular Stores across India, as set out below:
Period Opening Targets
Financial Year 2027 67
Financial Year 2028 50
Total 117
Consistent with our practice of operating our COCO – Regular Stores on a lease, leave and license or sub-lease basis, we will
continue to take the premises for each of the proposed new COCO – Regular Store on a lease, leave and license or sub-lease
121basis. For further details, see “Our Business - Properties” on page 213. As on the date of this Red Herring Prospectus, we have
neither identified the exact locations for opening our new COCO – Regular Stores nor entered into agreements for lease, license
or sub-lease of suitable properties for setting up the COCO – Regular Stores pursuant to which we intend to utilise the amount
from the Net Proceeds. We intend to open our COCO – Regular Stores in some of our existing locations as well as new locations
within India. We intend to open our COCO – Regular Stores in locations such as Mumbai, Noida, Bengaluru, Ghaziabad,
Bhubaneshwar, Lucknow, Gurgaon, Tumkur, Vizag, Kozhikode, Thanjavur, Ambala, Sonipat etc. These locations are not
exhaustive and may undergo changes. The location of each of our COCO – Regular Store will be decided by our Company
after conducting a detailed analysis of the demographics, foot falls, lease rentals, competition within a given region, customer
reach, brand visibility and other business and market considerations. The above estimate of the number of COCO – Regular
Stores to be set up is an internal management estimate and based on current business needs. Further, similar factors as stated
above can impact the total number of COCO – Regular Stores that the Company decides to set up in the future and may vary
from the above estimates, subject to compliance with applicable law, in light of inter alia property availability, business
dynamics, brand recall, demographics of the particular city, projected foot falls, lease rentals and other business and market
considerations and external circumstances which may not be in our control.
Estimated cost
Capital expenditure
As of September 30, 2025, the average size of our COCO – Regular Stores (aggregate area divided by number of active COCO
– Regular Stores) is 3,154.56 square feet of built-up area per COCO – Regular Store. In the future, we intend to open COCO –
Regular Stores of varied sizes, tailored to specific catchment areas for mattress, furniture and furnishings productions, based
on our past experience. We aim to open higher number of stores in more diverse locations and thereby tap into underserved
areas or areas with lesser penetration in our categories while trying to expand our footprint across India. To further this objective,
we intend to tap into smaller cities and towns and underserved pockets of metropolitan cities in India. The size, number and
exact area of such proposed COCO – Regular Stores may vary and depend on various factors such as type/format of the
catchment area, availability of suitable locations, lease rentals, potential footfall, and competition within a given region or
across regions. Owing to the foregoing reasons, we have considered an average size of 1,541 square feet per COCO – Regular
Store (“Average Size”) for arriving at the estimated costs below. For further details see “Risk Factors – Our change in strategy
to open smaller sized COCO – Regular Stores in the future may have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.” on page 50. While the size, number and exact area of the COCO – Regular Stores may
vary and depend on various factors as mentioned above, the COCO – Regular Stores are proposed to be set up on an overall
aggregate area measuring approximately 180,300 square feet.
The estimated costs of setting up a COCO – Regular Store of Average Size are based on (i) certificate dated November 29,
2025 from Nativity Private Limited, independent architect, for the purposes of certifying the costs associated with setting up of
COCO – Regular Store of Average Size; (ii) valid quotations obtained by our Company, from various contractors/vendors; and

H. Description on the historic use of the KPIs by our Company to analyse, track or monitor the operational and/or
financial performance of our Company
In evaluating our business, we consider and use certain KPIs, as presented above, as a supplemental measure to review
and assess our financial and operating performance. The presentation of these KPIs is not intended to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for the Restated Financial Information. We use these KPIs to evaluate our financial and
operating performance. Some of these KPIs are not defined under Ind AS and are not presented in accordance with
Ind AS. These KPIs have limitations as analytical tools. Further, these KPIs may differ from the similar information
133used by other companies and hence their comparability may be limited. Therefore, these metrics should not be
considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to Ind AS measures of performance or as an indicator of our
operating performance, liquidity, profitability or results of operation. Although these KPIs are not a measure of
performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that
it provides an additional tool for Bidders to use in evaluating our ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing
our financial results with other companies in our industry because it provides consistency and comparability with past
financial performance, when taken collectively with financial measures prepared in accordance with Ind AS.
Bidders are encouraged to review the Ind AS financial measures and to not rely on any single financial or operational
metric to evaluate our business.

India is a large and fast-growing consumer-focused market, propelled by strong macroeconomic tailwinds
India is the fastest growing large economy and is expected to become the third largest by 2030
With a nominal Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) of U.S.$ 3.9 trillion in Calendar Year (“CY”) 2024, India stands as the
world’s fifth-largest economy. Over the past five years (CY2019–CY2024), it has maintained a strong growth trajectory,
expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of approximately 7%. Looking ahead, India is projected to become
a U.S.$ 6.8 trillion economy by CY2030, growing at a CAGR of approximately 10% between CY2024 and CY2030,
demonstrating the fastest growth among the major economies globally. This growth is expected to drive India past Germany
and Japan, making it the world’s third largest economy by CY2030.

India’s Private consumption is increasing at an estimated CAGR of 10%, fueled by a rising share of discretionary
spending
India’s consumption-led economy saw private consumption contribute approximately 62% to GDP in CY2024, compared to
68% in the United States (“US”) in CY2023, highlighting room for growth. Private Final Consumption Expenditure (“PFCE”)
grew at a approximately 10% CAGR, from ₹123.1 trillion (U.S.$ 1.5 trillion) in CY2019 to ₹200.3 trillion (U.S.$ 2.4 trillion)
145in CY2024. Discretionary spending now constitutes approximately 48% of total consumption, up from 40% to 43% a decade
ago, underscoring a clear shift toward lifestyle and experiential GDP per capita is widely recognized as an indicator of economic
growth across major economies.
Historically, crossing the U.S.$ 2,000 per capita GDP threshold has marked a significant inflection point for accelerated PFCE
growth. China, for example, surpassed this benchmark in 2006, achieving a strong 21% PFCE CAGR from 2006 to
2011.purchases. India crossed the U.S.$ 2,000 GDP per capita milestone threshold in 2021 and is poised to follow a similar, a
level that has historically marked the onset of accelerated private final consumption expenditure (PFCE) growth, as evidenced
by China’s trajectory, with strong consumption growth expected in the coming years. Such a trajectory is expected to fuel
broader economic post-2006. As incomes are rising and aspirations are evolving, consumers are increasingly prioritizing quality
and value, fueling the expansion of masstige and premium segments across categories. This trend is further reinforced by greater
exposure to global brands, digital influence, and evolving lifestyle preferences among urban and semi-urban consumers. Several
factors contribute to the rise in consumption in India –
Several factors contribute to the rise in consumption in India –
India’s per capita income is projected to experience one of the highest growth rates globally from CY2024 to CY2030
According to the World Bank, India’s Gross National Income (“GNI”) per capita reached approximately U.S.$ 2,700 in
CY2024, up from approximately U.S.$ 2,070 in CY2019, at a CAGR of over 5%. By CY2030, GNI per capita is projected to
cross U.S.$ 3,600, at a CAGR of over 5%, highest among comparable economies. This is driven by macroeconomic factors
such as GDP expansion, increasing trade opportunities, government expenditure on infrastructure and manufacturing,
supportive government policies, and technological advancements. This steady rise in per capita income is expected to fuel
higher discretionary spending among Indian consumers.
Rising number of middle-income households in India is driving the next wave of consumption growth in the country
India’s middle-income segment is a major growth driver, expanding from 144 million households (46%) in CY2019 to 174
million (51%) in CY2024, driven by urbanization and rising formal employment. By CY2030, it’s expected to reach
approximately 58% (219 million households), with 30 million new upper- and 15 million lower middle-income households.
High-income households, growing fastest at approximately 8% CAGR, are set to rise from 41 million (12%) in CY2024 to 65
million (17%) by CY2030.
Macroeconomic tailwinds, like RBI’s repo rate cuts to 6.0% and easing inflation, could further boost consumption, especially
in interest-sensitive sectors. Budget 2025 has added approximately ₹1 trillion in disposable income through PIT cuts for urban
middle-income households, spurring discretionary spending across home, lifestyle, travel, and more.
This expanding middle-income cohort, increasingly focused on comfort, quality, and value, is the core is fuelling demand in
categories such as home décor, sleep solutions, and affordable premium furniture.
Share of households by annual income
In million, %, CY2019, CY2024, CY2030P
Rapid urbanization with the increasing number of nuclear families is leading to a rise in demand centers, boosting
consumption
India’s rapid urbanization is reshaping its economy, creating new demand centres that fuel consumption growth. As of CY2024,
37% of the population (approximately 530 million) lives in urban areas, making India the second-largest urban population
146globally after China (approximately 66%). Urban hubs drive economic activity, offering higher incomes, formal employment,
and commercial concentration, making them key consumption drivers.
This trend is set to accelerate, with approximately 40% of India’s population expected to be urban by CY2030.
Migration is a major factor, leading to the rise of nuclear families, with nearly 30 million additional nuclear families formed
between CY2019 and CY2024. As a result, nuclear households now account for approximately 60% of all households, a share
that is expected to rise to 67–70% by CY2030, significantly expanding the consumer base for home-related categories.
As urban households grow more compact and aspirational, demand is rising for space-efficient furniture, functional home décor
and sleep solutions that blend utility with design, increasingly prioritized by young, nuclear families in urban India
The rise in the number of women in workforce is providing an impetus to consumption as households transition from
single-income to dual-income
As per the Ministry of Women and Child Development (“MoWCD”) of India, the female labour participation rate surged from
25% in Financial Year (“Fiscal”) 2019 to 42% in Fiscal 2024, driven by reduced entry barriers and targeted government and
private sector initiatives. This rise has increased dual-income households, boosting demand for convenience-focused products
and services. Financial independence is also fuelling individualistic spending, particularly in discretionary categories, while
strong influence of women in household decisions continues to shape overall consumption trends.
With rising income and greater autonomy, women are playing a pivotal role in driving demand for home improvement, décor
and functional yet aesthetic living solutions, reflecting their growing focus on comfort, design and self-expression in the home
environment.
India’s sizeable young population, led by Gen Z and millennials, is a key driver of demand across various consumption
categories
With a median age of 28.8 years in CY2024, India is younger than major economies like the US, UK and China having a median
age of 38 years, 39.8 years and 39.1 years respectively. This young, aspirational segment comprising 557 million individuals
(38% of the population) in CY2024 aged 18–40 years is reshaping consumption patterns. Digitally savvy and experience-driven,
they favour premium, functional, and convenience-led products across categories. As Gen Z and millennials drive market
trends, brands must focus on innovation, quality, and value-driven offerings.
This cohort’s focus on curating personalised, aesthetic living spaces, often through digital discovery, is fuelling demand in
categories like modular furniture, sleep solutions, and modern home décor, where functionality, design, and affordability
converge.
India is the world’s third-largest retail market, powered by digital acceleration, organized expansion, and omnichannel
synergy
India’s retail market is estimated to be a approximately U.S.$ 1 trillion opportunity in CY2024, and remains promising
with a projected growth of 8% to 10% through CY2030
India’s retail market, spanning grocery, consumer electronics, fashion, home & furnishings grew from ₹ 62 trillion (U.S.$ 742
billion) in CY2019 to approximately ₹ 83 trillion (U.S.$ 1,000 billion) in CY2024, at a CAGR of approximately 6%. Looking
ahead, it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8% to 10%, reaching ₹ 133 to 150 trillion (U.S.$ 1.6 to 1.8 trillion) by CY2030,
driven by rising incomes, urbanization, and shifting consumer preferences.
Despite being among the largest global retail markets, India’s per capita retail spending at approximately ₹ 57,513 (U.S.$ 693)
in CY2024 remains lower than that of China, US and UK, standing at approximately ₹ 4,08,585 (U.S.$ 4,923), approximately
₹ 18,18,267 (U.S.$ 21,907) and approximately ₹ 8,08,355 (U.S.$ 9,739) respectively in CY2024, indicating a strong growth
potential.

As the retail market in India matures, there is a growing shift towards discretionary spending, within categories like fashion,
home & furnishings, consumer electronics, etc., which accounts for approximately 54% of the overall retail market in CY2024,
having risen from approximately 51% in CY2019. It is projected to reach approximately 58% of the retail market by CY2030,
growing at a CAGR of 9% to 11%, outpacing overall retail growth. The growth in discretionary spending is fuelled by rising
incomes, urbanization, digitization of the economy and increasing e-commerce penetration across city tiers, all contributing to
aspirational consumption. As income levels rise and basic consumption needs are met, incremental household spending
increasingly shifts toward discretionary categories, leading to faster growth compared to non-discretionary spending. Within
discretionary spending, general merchandise and home & furnishings segments are expected to expand steadily, accounting for
approximately 9% and approximately 8% respectively, of the total discretionary spending by CY2030.

148This shift is being accompanied by organized channels rapidly gaining share, from approximately 15% in CY2019 to
approximately 21% in CY2024, and projected to reach 34% to 38% by CY2030. Within the organized segment, e-commerce is
also on the rise, with a market value of approximately ₹ 5.8 trillion (U.S.$ 70 billion) in CY2024, accounting for approximately
7% of India’s retail market. India’s e-commerce market has grown the fastest over the last five years at approximately 26% as
compared to other major economies such as the US, China, and the UK. E-commerce in India has significant headroom for
growth, particularly when compared to higher share of retail in the US (approximately 16%), China (approximately 32%), and
the UK (approximately 27%). E-commerce in India is poised for strong long-term expansion, projected to reach ₹ 17 to 22

149There is a rising trend towards premiumization within the organized retail landscape, with over 25% of the organized retail
being led by premium products (defined as mid-to-high priced items for mature or above average income households). This
sector in India is witnessing significant growth, with the rapidly rising high-income consumer base driving the demand for
high-quality products, and greater availability of premium offerings. This has led to increased activity and investment, further
accelerating the sector’s expansion. With consumers prioritizing value, aesthetics, and long-term durability, premiumization is
set to redefine India’s retail landscape.
India’s digital transformation, fuelled by increased internet access and smartphone penetration, is accelerating e-
commerce adoption
India is transitioning into a digital economy, with internet users set to grow from 810 to 840 million in CY2024 to 1,018 to
1,190 million by CY2030, driven by low mobile data costs (approximately U.S.$ 0.16/GB in India vs. approximately US $6/GB
in the US in CY2023) and affordable smartphones. The rollout of 5G and initiatives like Digital India are further expanding
digital access, with smartphone penetration expected to rise from 680 to 690 million to 1,000 to 1,125 million in the same
period. Despite this rapid growth, India has significant headroom for expansion compared to developed economies like the US
and UK with internet penetration still behind the 90% to 95% levels seen in the US and UK.
This enhanced access to internet connectivity is fuelling online commerce adoption, with e-commerce consumers growing from
230 to 250 million in CY2024 to 374 to 443 million by CY2030 (CAGR 8% to 10%). E-commerce is unlocking access to a
wide range of new categories for first-time users, driving incremental spending and expanding consumption. At the same time,
it is opening new markets for organised businesses by bringing previously informal or underserved segments online, enabling
broader and more efficient reach. As consumer expectations evolve, fuelled by a growing preference for premium products,
convenience, and seamless digital experiences, platforms are responding with greater investments in personalization, flexible
payment solutions, and faster, more reliable service delivery.

This massive transformation of the Indian economy and consumers from traditional to online formats has been accelerated by
several government-led digital initiatives. Facilities like UPI, Jan Dhan Yojana, and Aadhaar have expanded financial inclusion,
while BharatNet and Prime Minister’s Wi-Fi Access Network Interface (“PM-WANI”) are enhancing internet connectivity
across India. India Stack’s secure digital infrastructure, comprising e-KYC, UPI, and FASTag, has enhanced trust in online
transactions, thereby accelerating the adoption of e-commerce across consumer segments. Additionally, social media is
emerging as a key commerce driver, enabling influencer-led shopping, social commerce, and deeper consumer engagement in
digital retail.
As these factors converge, India’s digital consumer base is poised for sustained growth, with businesses increasingly leveraging
digital-first strategies to tap into a connected, aspirational, and convenience-driven audience.
Branded retail is on the rise with the rapid proliferation of Direct to Consumer (“D2C”) players
India’s retail sector is undergoing a structural transformation, with the share of branded and organized retail steadily increasing
as modern retail formats expand their reach. Consumers are becoming more brand-conscious, driving demand for trusted,
quality-assured products across categories and price segments.
150This shift in consumer behaviour towards digital transactions and preference for branded products has led to a rapid influx of
D2C players that caters to different consumer segments. The D2C model offers several advantages over traditional retail,
including seamless access to products, the ability to browse and purchase from anywhere, direct engagement with brands,
personalized shopping experiences, and faster product innovation based on real-time consumer insights.
Urban consumers are increasingly seeking premium, personalized, and niche products, and curated shopping experiences. Gen
Z, in particular, values sustainability, individuality, and ethical consumption, pushing players to innovate with unique offerings.
At the same time, there is a parallel shift towards masstige products, which is serving the affordability segment with aspirational
quality, accelerating the transition from unbranded to branded consumption. Unlike traditional retail models, D2C players
leverage digital platforms, data analytics, and direct consumer engagement to differentiate themselves and scale rapidly.
Moreover, by bypassing intermediaries, they can pass on cost savings to consumers, making their offerings more price
competitive, and parallelly reinvest in better customer experience, personalization and innovation.
By bypassing intermediaries, D2C players offer competitive pricing while reinvesting in experience and innovation. The Indian
D2C market valued at ₹ 900-1,100 billion (U.S.$ 11 to 13 billion) in CY2024, is projected to grow at a 23% to 27% CAGR to
reach ₹ 3,400 to 4,200 billion (U.S.$ 41 to 51 billion) by CY2030, reflecting a broader shift toward digital-first retail.

As consumers become increasingly brand-conscious, businesses across industries are shifting from unorganized to organized
retail models, driving greater adoption of structured, quality-driven products and services. This shift is not only enhancing
consumer trust but also fuelling the growth of modern retail formats and digital-first players including e-commerce.
Omnichannel experience is swiftly becoming the preferred shopping model, blending online discovery with offline
fulfilment for a seamless consumer journey
Online and offline channels offer distinct advantages – online platforms are preferred for convenience, wider selection, and
personalized pricing, while offline retail provides the assurance of physical validation, immediate ownership, and in-person
trust. Channel choice often depends on category with commoditized or replenishment-based items (e.g., packaged goods,
apparel basics) tending to sell online, whereas high-involvement or sensory-led categories (e.g., furniture, beauty, premium
electronics) relying on offline touchpoints for evaluation.
The evolving consumer journey in India reflects a growing preference for flexibility and convenience, with consumers
seamlessly navigating online and offline channels. Consumers are increasingly browsing online followed by store visits for
hands-on evaluation before completing purchases. The purchase can either be online or offline based on convenience, price, or
availability. This flexibility between digital and physical channels reflects a growing need for presence across channels, with
consumers expecting seamless transitions across touchpoints.
Currently, there are players present in both offline and online channels. Multi-channel retail players are present across multiple
independent channels like websites, marketplaces, social media, and physical stores. However, since these channels function
separately, they often lead to inconsistent customer experiences, pricing discrepancies, and fragmented inventory management,
which can create inefficiencies and limit seamless engagement. On the other hand, a well-integrated omnichannel approach
151addresses these gaps by bridging discovery and experience, ensuring online platforms drive awareness while offline stores
reinforce confidence and service. By synchronizing inventory, pricing, and customer interactions across all touchpoints,
omnichannel retail enhances customer convenience, boosts retention, and fosters higher brand loyalty. Retailers who effectively
blend these channels will drive stronger engagement, improved conversions, and a more cohesive shopping experience in
India’s evolving retail landscape.
With India’s sustained economic growth, rising affluence, and evolving consumer behaviour, the retail sector is set for rapid
expansion. The combination of higher disposable incomes, urban lifestyle aspirations, and expanding digital access will further
accelerate demand for well-designed, branded products. This shift presents a strong opportunity for organized and branded
players to capture demand by expanding digital and omnichannel experience.
India’s economic growth is also being bolstered by the rise of the real estate sector
The construction sector, spanning infrastructure and real estate development, serves as a fundamental pillar of India’s GDP.
Infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, railways, and utilities, are crucial for enhancing connectivity and economic
expansion. Meanwhile, real estate construction, comprising residential and commercial developments addresses the increasing
demand for housing and commercial spaces. Together, these segments contribute to over 8% of the country’s GDP, forming
vital economic components.
Real estate in India is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6% to 8% with residential and commercial showing good potential
India’s real estate sector is evolving into a major economic growth driver propelled by urbanization, rising incomes, and
infrastructure investments and policy reforms that boost transparency and investor confidence. Growing demand across
residential, rental, office, and hospitality segments, supported by better credit access and lower interest rates is fuelling.
The sector is expected to grow at a 6% to 8% CAGR of 6% to 8%, driven by strong sustained housing and commercial demand
in residential and commercial segments, coupled with, policy support, and expansion of metro corridors. corridor development.

0.23 million units in CY2021 to 0.31 million units in CY2022 (approximately 35% CAGR), driven by shifting homeownership
priorities, larger living space preferences, and an uptick in new construction and project launches. Since then, the market has
continued to grow steadily at approximately 6% annually, reaching 0.35 million units in CY2024, translating to a approximately
15% CAGR over CY2021 to 2024. The top 8 metros continue to lead this growth, contributing approximately 51% of total

With rising disposable incomes, rapid urbanization, and improved infrastructure development, consumers are looking to invest
more in homeownership. Homeownership remains deeply valued in India, symbolizing financial security and long-term
stability, particularly among young professionals and nuclear families. Additionally, factors such as lower home loan interest
rates, increased infrastructure investments, and policy support for housing developers have fuelled further expansion, extending
into Tier-2 cities as well.
Alongside growing demand for urban and suburban housing, the rental housing market is also expanding, driven by migration
to metro and Tier-1 cities, workforce mobility, and a rising preference for flexible living arrangements. Over 20% of urban
homes are now estimated to be rented, reflecting this shift. The increasing demand for rental properties is supported by changing
work dynamics, affordability considerations, and the need for short-term housing solutions, making it a key segment in India’s
evolving real estate landscape.
Indians increasingly perceive their homes as a reflection of their lifestyle, driving greater investment in home décor and
interior enhancements
Alongside rising homeownership and rental demand, Indian consumers are increasingly investing in home décor, furnishings,
and interior design. Consumers are willing to spend more on high-quality, aesthetically appealing, and customized home décor.
With busy and dynamic lifestyles in modern households, consumers are investing in ergonomic furniture, premium mattresses,
and ambient lighting to enhance home comfort and well-being.
India’s interior design market is set to grow at a CAGR of over 15% through CY2030, driven by a shift in consumer perception.
Home interiors are now seen as a reflection of personal identity, influenced by digital trends, increased accessibility, and
evolving lifestyles. Consequently, spending on interior improvements in home, now accounts for approximately 10% to 12%
of a home’s total value.
• Digital & social media influence – Platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube are shaping home aesthetics,
driving demand for modern furnishings and personalized interiors.
153• Greater product accessibility – E-commerce has expanded access to a wider range of décor and furniture, enabling
consumers to explore seasonal updates and premium designs.
• Frequent home décor upgrades – Consumers now refurbish their interiors more often, up to once in 7-10 years,
to keep up with newer trends and styles, preferring branded furnishings with shorter replacement cycles, boosting
recurring spending.
• Changing lifestyles – With more time spent at home, there is a growing focus on comfortable, functional, and
visually appealing living spaces, increasing demand for premium solutions across home & furnishings categories.
Commercial real estate is witnessing growth as corporate and hospitality sectors rebound post Covid, driven by
increased spending and renewed investment momentum
From CY2019 to CY2024, office space transactions across the country have grown from 5.6 million sq. ft. to 6.7 million sq. ft.
respectively, driven by return-to-office policies across organizations. In the last year alone, office space transactions in India
grew by an estimated 21%. With the rise of coworking spaces, and leasing of area across multiple companies, a shorter interior
refresh cycle of once in 5-7 years has been observed over the last few years.
India’s tourism industry has fuelled the growth of the hospitality sector, leading to branded hotel openings rising by
approximately 8% and new keys rising by approximately 17% from CY2019 to CY2024. With domestic and international
travel, both for leisure and business, rebounding strongly, the demand for premium accommodations, business hotels, and
experiential stays has surged, prompting major investments in new hotel constructions, renovations, and upgrades.
In an industry where aesthetics and guest experience are critical, hospitality establishments must regularly revamp their
interiors, furnishings, and amenities to stay competitive. Hotels, resorts, and serviced apartments are increasingly investing in
modern furnishings, premium furniture, and smart and comfortable hospitality solutions to create inviting, contemporary spaces
that cater to evolving consumer expectations. The hospitality sector thus remains a significant driver of demand for home &
furnishing.
Overall, as homeownership and rental demand grow, investments in interiors, furnishings, and home improvement are also
increasing. Additionally, the rise of commercial spaces—offices, hospitality, and institutional infrastructure—is creating
demand for ergonomic furniture and functional design solutions. This intersection of real estate expansion, changing lifestyles,
and rising disposable incomes presents a strong runway for the home & furnishings sector.
India’s Home & Furnishings market is estimated to be ₹ 2.8 to 3.0 trillion (U.S.$ 34 to 36 billion) as of CY2024, projected

a CAGR of 11% to 13% to ₹ 5.2 to 5.9 trillion (U.S.$ 63 to 71 billion) by CY2030.
The growth in this market is majorly driven by below key drivers:
1. Rising disposable income, urbanization, and homeownership – A growing middle- and high-income consumer
base is driving demand for high-quality, well-designed home furnishings. Rapid urbanization and the shift toward
nuclear families, especially in metros and Tier-1 cities, are increasing the need for space-efficient and aesthetic
products, while rising homeownership among younger buyers is fuelling investments in furniture, mattresses, and
décor.

boosting demand for orthopaedic mattresses, ergonomic seating, and functionally enhanced furnishings. The rise of
hybrid work culture is further supporting long-term growth in both home-office setups and office furniture.
3. Rise in consumption of organised players offerings – Consumers are increasingly opting for organized brands and
digital platforms, moving away from unbranded local alternatives in search of better quality, consistency, and service.
This shift is prompting brands to streamline processes, standardize SKUs, and improve fulfilment and after-sales
processes. At the same time, the growth of e-commerce, D2C, and omnichannel formats is making organized products
more affordable and accessible, further accelerating formalization across the category.
4. Easy financing and affordability-driven premiumization – EMIs, BNPL options, and flexible payment plans are
enabling consumers to upgrade to branded, functionally superior products. This accessibility is accelerating
premiumization trends, allowing buyers to invest in better materials, durability, and aesthetics without a significant
cost increase.
5. Increasing frequency of home makeovers and seasonal buying – While big-ticket items have long replacement
cycles, furnishings and décor see frequent purchases, especially during festivals, weddings, and rental turnovers,
driving consistent demand for seasonal refreshes and functional upgrades. As furniture, furnishings, and décor
increasingly become expressions of personal status, there is a growing trend of more frequent purchases.
The above strong growth drivers, coupled with rising consumer expectations for quality, design, and seamless shopping
experiences, are making efficiency, standardization, and accessibility key to India’s home & furnishings industry’s next phase
of growth.
Organized online channels are poised to drive the next wave of growth in the home & furnishings market
The organized home & furnishings market in India is expanding as consumers prioritize quality, durability, and wellness-
conscious choices across furniture, mattresses, and décor. The organized market is projected to grow from approximately 29%
155in CY2024 to approximately 35% by value in CY2030. This growth is supported by rising demand for ergonomic, sustainable
designs, greater standardization in product offerings, and easier access to financing options such as EMI and BNPL that are
being made more accessible by branded players.
The online home & furnishings market, in particular, is growing rapidly, with online penetration expected to increase from
approximately 9% in CY2024 to approximately 13% by value in CY2030 at a CAGR of 19% to 21%, significantly outpacing
offline channels. This growth is driven by improved logistics, transparent pricing, and a wider product selection, making these
high-ticket mattress and furniture purchases more seamless even as consumers are increasingly opting for customizable, space-
efficient, and functional designs suited to urban living.

India’s home and furnishings sector has seen increasing consolidation driven by efforts to expand market share and diversify
product portfolios. Some of the transactions include Sheela Foam’s acquisition of Kurlon and its investment in Furlenco, a
furniture leasing and retail company, HomeLane’s acquisition of Design Café, and Asian Paints’ major investment in The White
Teak Company, among others. Alongside these, several players are being acquired as incumbents deepen their presence across
categories and expand footprint and market share within current categories. These examples underscore the evolution of the
sector, which is witnessing a mix of strategic consolidation by established players and financial investments by roll-up platforms
and private equity firms, underscoring growing confidence in the long-term consumption potential of India’s home and lifestyle
market.
Despite strong tailwinds, the home & furnishings industry in India presents significant structural and operational
challenges that affect scalability, efficiency, and consumer experience
The home & furnishings industry is characterized by high barriers to entry such as significant capital requirements, the need
for specialized manufacturing capabilities, efficient logistics and established brand recognition. Some of the challenges that
persist in the home & furnishings industry are as listed below. Unlocking its potential requires addressing persistent structural
issues:
1. Supply chain and logistics challenges – Heavy reliance on unorganized suppliers and small-scale manufacturers
leads to inconsistent quality and fulfilment inefficiencies. The bulky nature of furniture and mattresses increases
transportation, warehousing, and last-mile delivery costs, while storage constraints add operational complexity.
Reverse logistics is particularly costly due to high handling expenses, transit damage risks, and repackaging
challenges, making scaling operations difficult. This makes it especially imperative for companies to maintain low
minimum order quantities (“MOQs”), without manufacturing large batches, to reduce inventory risk.
2. Price-sensitive consumers and weak brand loyalty – Purchases are largely price-driven with limited brand
stickiness, especially for high-value items with long replacement cycles. This restricts premiumization and heightens
price-based competition.
1563. Material and resource constraints – Fluctuations in raw material costs (foam, wood, fabrics, and metals) impact
pricing and production. Dependence on imported premium materials adds supply chain volatility, while a shortage of
skilled artisans in furniture and décor makes scaling high-end, customized products challenging.
4. Lack of product and pricing standardization – Inconsistent product specifications, assembly variations, and post-
purchase services lead to uneven consumer experiences. Furniture and décor are particularly difficult to standardize
due to material and finishing differences. Pricing remains non-transparent, with inflated costs from multiple
intermediaries reducing affordability and brand differentiation.
5. Evolving design trends and short product cycles – The design-driven nature of furniture and décor requires frequent
updates to keep pace with changing consumer preferences. Rapid shifts in soft furnishings trends and growing demand
across multiple design philosophies, multifunctional, and sustainable furniture make inventory planning complex.
6. Demand volatility and inventory management challenges – Seasonal demand spikes, particularly during festivals
and weddings, create supply chain pressures. Managing stock keeping units (“SKU”) complexity across categories is
difficult, as overstocking leads to high carrying costs and stockouts result in lost sales. Effective multi-channel
inventory planning and demand forecasting are essential for profitability.
Solving for these key challenges will enable incumbents and new entrants to develop a competitive edge and build a sustainable
business model.
The Mattress category accounts for approximately 5% share of home & furnishings by value, projected to grow at a
CAGR of 10% to 12% to ₹ 270 to 300 billion (U.S.$ 3.2 to 3.6 billion) by CY2030
The Indian mattress industry has evolved from traditional cotton and coir options to modern and advanced sleep solutions. Prior
to 2000, the market was largely unorganised and dominated by cotton and coir mattresses, offering affordability but limited
comfort. The 2000s saw the rise of foam and spring mattresses, introducing better back support and durability. India is one of
the most sleep deprived nations in Asia. Others include Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Philippines. Lack of sleep, coupled
with the growing awareness of the importance of sleep for overall health and well-being has increased significantly in India in
recent years, driven by rising health consciousness, urban lifestyles, and digital access to wellness information. As a result,
between 2010 and 2020, innovation has accelerated with hybrid and orthopaedic mattresses, combining materials like memory
foam and latex to enhance comfort and ergonomics. Organized players and D2C players have further driven this shift, making
advanced mattresses more accessible and standardizing quality across the market.

Memory foam and orthopaedic mattresses further gained traction, offering better back support and pressure relief. Hybrid
mattresses have also gained popularity, combining multiple materials, typically foam or latex with innerspring coils and
technologies to enhance comfort, durability, and adaptability to different sleep needs. They are designed to provide the pressure
relief and contouring of foam while maintaining the durability and breathability of coils. The rise of organized and D2C players
has brought standardization, introduced innovative materials and designs, and led to advancements such as smart mattresses.
India’s mattress market, valued at ₹ 145 to 160 billion (U.S.$ 1.7 to 1.9 billion) in CY2024, has grown at a 7% to 9% CAGR
since CY2019, driven by rising sleep wellness awareness and demand for branded offerings. Sales volume is estimated at 28 to
32 million units, led by cotton mattresses due to affordability and Tier-2+ penetration, while foam mattresses are gaining
traction. The market is set to grow at a 10% to 12% CAGR by value, reaching ₹ 270 to 300 billion (U.S.$ 3.2 to 3.6 billion) by
157CY2030, driven by demand for ergonomic designs and advanced materials. The B2C segment which constitutes approximately
82% of demand by value as of CY 2024, and continues to expand faster than B2B segments like hospitality, educational

Cotton mattresses, comprising approximately 60% of market value in CY2024, remain dominant, particularly in Tier-2+ cities
due to affordability but are projected to decline to approximately 49% by CY2030 as consumers shift to more durable options.
Foam, with a share of approximately 23% by value, is growing due to better support and accessibility, with its market share
expected to reach approximately 31% by CY2030. The affordability of coir mattresses has declined post-GST, leading to a
market share reduction. Latex, the fastest-growing segment, is increasingly integrated into hybrid designs, offering enhanced
comfort, breathability, and durability, aligning with growing health-conscious consumer trends.
Evolving material preferences in Tier-1 and Tier-2+ cities, coupled with the trend of premiumization, are driving the
transformation of the mattress industry
Material preferences are evolving alongside price shifts. While the mass segment still dominates at approximately 72% by value
in CY2024, masstige is growing, rising from approximately 20% to approximately 23% by CY2030, as consumers seek better
quality at affordable prices, aided by online-first brands. Premium and luxury segments, though smaller, are gaining momentum
with projected CAGRs of 15% to 17% and 18% to 20%, driven by health awareness, adoption of latex and hybrid materials,
more organized players, and accessible financing. Rising aspirations and disposable incomes are accelerating this shift toward
higher-value offerings.
This shift is mirrored in regional trends. The top 8 metros contribute approximately 44% of market value in CY2024, but Tier-
2+ cities are set to grow fastest at 11% to 13% CAGR, as consumers move from cotton to foam and hybrid mattresses.
Meanwhile, metros and Tier-1 cities are leaning toward premium and orthopaedic solutions, supported by brand expansion and
financing access. Improved affordability and awareness are expected to reduce reliance on traditional cotton mattresses, pushing
the industry toward durable, higher-value options.

Branded and digital play combined with evolving material preferences are driving organized play
The mattress industry in India is formalizing rapidly as organized players expand through brand trust, product innovation, and
stronger retail and digital channels. Organized players have grown from approximately 20% to approximately 30% share by
value from CY2019 to CY2024, respectively, with projections indicating further consolidation as organized players attain a
share of approximately 45% by CY2030P. This shift is driven by rising consumer preference for durable, warranty-backed
products and improved supply chain efficiencies, making branded mattresses more accessible.
E-commerce is also accelerating this shift, with the online share by value growing from approximately 4% to approximately
8% from CY2019 to CY2024, respectively and projected to reach approximately 13% share by value in CY2030 as consumers
gain confidence in online-first brands and digital purchases. The rise of D2C players that brought in roll-packed and easy-to-
transport mattresses, and flexible trail and return periods has made online channels more viable, especially for mid-range and
premium segments. However, offline retail remains dominant, given how in-store trials for comfort and usability influence
decisions in this category. As digital adoption rises and organized players expand omnichannel strategies, the online market is
projected for sustained growth.

Some of the prominent players in the organized mattress market in India are Sheela Foam Limited, Wakefit Innovations Limited,
Duroflex Private Limited, Peps Industries Private Limited, and Comfort Grid Technologies Private Limited in no particular
order of ranking. Wakefit Innovations Limited ranks among the top 3 players in the organized mattress market (the other two
players, in no particular order, are Sheela Foam Limited and Duroflex Private Limited) by revenue in Fiscal 2024 and is the
largest player in terms of online revenue from mattresses among its organized peers.
Players lacking strong logistics networks face high operational costs, limiting their expansion. Meanwhile, those slow to adapt
to changing consumer preferences, such as the demand for sleep wellness and hybrid materials, risk losing relevance. As
competition increases, addressing these challenges through innovation, supply chain optimization, and omnichannel adoption
will be critical for long-term success.
The furniture category leads the home & furnishings market with approximately 66% share by value, projected to grow
at a CAGR of 10% to 12% to ₹ 3,200 to 3,900 billion (U.S.$ 39 to 47 billion) by CY2030
The furniture industry has evolved significantly, adapting to shifting consumer preferences, material innovations, and
advancements in manufacturing. Traditional furniture was heavy, handcrafted, and made from solid wood (“SW”), offering
durability but at a high cost. Other popular materials include metal for its strength and modern appeal, plastic for affordability
and lightweight convenience, and glass for a sleek, contemporary look. Over time, the introduction of engineered wood (“EW”),
standardized production, and modular assembly made furniture more affordable, scalable, and adaptable to modern living
spaces. Due to standardization, EW enables mass production, making furniture more cost-effective while maintaining design
flexibility, enabling companies to scale. As companies scale, they often pivot toward premiumization by blending solid and
engineered wood, catering to evolving consumer preferences for both affordability and high-end finishes.
The rise of organized retail and D2C brands has further streamlined the market, bringing greater standardization in quality,
design, and pricing. Consumers now expect faster deliveries, multiplicity of design options, and seamless omnichannel
experiences, making supply chain efficiency and product innovation key drivers of growth. Additionally, increasing preferences
for sustainable materials, premiumization, ergonomic designs and functional aesthetics are reshaping the future of furniture in
India.
India’s ₹ 1,800 to 2,000 billion (U.S.$ 22 to 24 billion) furniture market in CY2024 is being driven by growing residential
demand and increased penetration of beds, sofas, and dining sets
India’s furniture market is estimated at ₹ 1,800 to 2,000 billion (U.S.$ 22 to 24 billion) in CY2024, having grown at a CAGR
of 9% to 11% from CY2019. While the Covid-19 pandemic temporarily slowed growth due to reduced discretionary spending

growth. Masstige holds the largest share at approximately 30% by value in CY2024 with consumers upgrading to better quality,
design-focused furniture that reflects social status, aesthetics, and craftsmanship. This shift is evident in the growing demand
for engineered and solid wood furniture. Engineered wood is driving masstige growth with affordability and modern finishes,
while solid wood is gaining traction in premium segments for its durability and artisanal appeal. Rising disposable incomes and
exposure to global design trends are set to push masstige, premium, and luxury segments to a combined share of approximately
76% of the overall furniture market by value by CY2030.
With accelerating urbanization, metro cities account for approximately 48% of the market in CY2024, driven by higher
homeownership, rental housing demand, and a strong presence of offices, hotels, and institutions. Metros also offer better access
to organized retail, omnichannel experiences, and faster last-mile delivery. The rise of D2C players and online marketplaces
has further expanded consumer choices, reinforcing both metro market dominance and the shift toward premiumization. With
the democratization of commerce and rising incomes, non-metro cities are also expected to contribute significantly to the growth

India’s furnishings and décor market has transformed from a largely unorganized sector to a design-focused industry, driven
by rising incomes, urbanization, and evolving consumer aspirations. Traditionally, households relied on locally sourced
furnishings with limited variety. Presently, organized retail and e-commerce have expanded access to high-quality, branded
products, making home styling more accessible and aspirational.
Segments like bed & bath linen, pillows and cushions, decorative lighting, kitchen and serveware, and home décor items are
now seen as an expression of personal style rather than just functional purchases. Consumers seek coordinated, theme-based
interiors, with demand rising for premium, sustainable, and customizable options. The growth of online marketplaces, D2C
players, and omnichannel retail has further accelerated this shift, making curated and trend-driven home décor more
mainstream.

is fuelled by rising incomes, urbanization, and the shift toward branded and curated home products. Consumers are increasingly
viewing furnishings as more than just functional necessities, but rather an extension of personal style, a means to maximize
comfort, and a reflection of evolving lifestyle aspirations.

products that elevate both style and functionality. Metros and Tier-1 cities are at the forefront of this shift, where greater
exposure to global design trends, increasing disposable income, and the desire for well-coordinated interiors are driving
premium purchases. Additionally, gifting culture and seasonal home upgrades are contributing to higher spending on decorative
and luxury furnishings, further reinforcing the market’s shift toward high-value products.
Some of the key players in the organized furnishings and décor market are Lifestyle International Private Limited, Wakefit
Innovations Limited, Welspun Living Limited, Ikea India Private Limited, and D’Décor Home Fabrics Private Limited in no
particular order of ranking.
The home & furnishings market is set for strong growth, driven by urbanization, premiumization, and the rise of organized and
online players. Consumers are prioritizing quality, aesthetics, and functionality, accelerating demand for branded and design-
led products. However, despite this momentum, the industry remains highly fragmented, creating challenges that players must
navigate to establish a strong position in this evolving market.
Organized players in the home & furnishings market adopting a full-stack model are well-positioned for growth and
competitive advantage
The Indian home & furnishings market is highly fragmented, with approximately 71% dominated by unorganized players. This
sector relies on local carpenters and small-scale manufacturers, lacking standard branding and structured operations, leading to
challenges for both consumers and suppliers.
The home & furnishings market lacks standardization in quality, pricing, and service, leading to inconsistent consumer
experiences and low trust. As a design-focused category, variations in aesthetics and functionality and the opacity of materials
used typically create purchase hesitation. Additionally, the bulky nature of the product results in logistical challenges including
high delivery costs, delays, and complex post-purchase servicing due to non-standardized parts and processes. Evolving
consumers sentiments, demanding quicker access owing to their fast-paced lifestyle makes it difficult to rely on unorganized
players.
For suppliers, fragmentation complicates sourcing and manufacturing, as raw materials often come from scattered supply hubs
with little quality control. This leads to inconsistent production timelines, margin leakage due to multiple intermediaries, and
limited scalability. Smaller manufacturers struggle with higher logistics costs and inefficiencies due to wastage of raw material
in manual processes, which are typically passed on to end consumers through increased pricing, while a predominantly offline
presence restricts access to digitally driven consumers. This leads to limited growth opportunities in an increasingly e-
commerce-focused market. In such a fragmented space, a streamlined value-chain not only enables standardization, but also
innovation in this design-dominant space.
Players with end-to-end supply chain control, from raw material sourcing, R&D and manufacturing to distribution and post-
purchase service, can deliver superior quality at competitive prices. This strengthens customer loyalty and drives sustained
growth. An omnichannel presence further strengthens brand engagement by catering to consumers who seamlessly navigate
165between online and offline channels, expanding market reach. With economies of scale, streamlined operations, and a strong
customer base, companies can diversify into adjacent categories, increasing customer lifetime value and share of wallet. By
leveraging brand loyalty and operational efficiency, they can invest in R&D and innovation along with automation in
manufacturing and value chain, enhancing the customer experience. This creates a self-reinforcing growth flywheel, driving
market penetration and accelerating long-term expansion.

A fully integrated model enhances supply chain control, ensuring superior quality, competitive pricing, and stronger margins.
With better control over production, players can maintain strict quality standards, leading to higher durability and value for
consumers. This model also enables faster R&D cycles, allowing companies to bring new designs to market quickly while
ensuring consistency in aesthetics and functionality. Having a full-stack approach further enhances this by enabling rapid
integration of customer feedback, ensuring continuous improvement and alignment with evolving consumer preferences.
Wakefit Innovations Limited is the only player among the home & furnishings peers (which include Life Style International
Private Limited, Godrej and Boyce Manufacturing Company Limited, D’Décor home Fabrics Private Limited, Sheela Foam
Limited, Duroflex Private Limited, Ikea India Private Limited and Royaloak Incorporation Private Limited in no particular
order) with complete control over the upstream processes of the value chain covering design to manufacturing phase in the
mattress and furniture segments, that encompasses R&D, Prototyping, and manufacturing. Wakefit Innovations Limited also
owns majority of their distribution through owned channels with approximately 56.97% of their sales by value in Fiscal 2025
and approximately 64.91% in six months ended September 30, 2025, coming from their own website and 125 stores across
India as of September 30, 2025. This strategy also enables Wakefit Innovations Limited to have complete control over inventory
and supply chain management.
By owning distribution as well, players eliminate multiple intermediaries, reducing costs and retaining margins that would
otherwise be lost to third-party distributors. A player relying on outsourced distribution typically forfeits 20-25% in margins to
intermediaries, whereas a full-stack model translates these savings into direct cost advantages. This allows them to offer better
prices to consumers while maintaining profitability. A streamlined supply chain minimizes inefficiencies, improves product
quality, lowers prices, thereby reinforcing consumer trust and sustained growth.
Seamless omnichannel experience is critical for driving engagement and conversions
The home & furnishings market has traditionally been in-store driven, as consumers prefer experiencing products firsthand
before purchasing. However, the rise of digital-first players during COVID-19 transformed buying behaviour, making online
shopping mainstream by offering better pricing, affordability, and convenience, along with integrated online-offline flexibility.
As a result, online penetration of home & furnishings market has grown from approximately 6% in CY2019 to approximately
9% in CY2024 and is projected to reach approximately 13% by CY2030. As consumers returned to stores post-pandemic,
players adopted an omnichannel approach, ensuring consistent pricing, availability, and service across all touchpoints.
An omnichannel presence integrates discovery, comparison, and validation, allowing consumers to research products online,
experience them in-store, and complete their purchase through any channel without disruptions. This continuity enhances trust,
engagement, and convenience, ensuring a frictionless transition between digital platforms, experience centres, and retail stores.
Without a well-executed omnichannel strategy, players risk losing customers who expect a unified experience across channels.
167Further a larger home & furnishings store with higher display inventory serves as a comprehensive shopping destination,
allowing customers to visualize multiple options for bedrooms, living rooms, and other home setups under one roof. This
enables customers to make personalized decisions, enhancing their shopping experience.
Additionally, integrating warehousing, logistics, and fulfilment across online and offline channels ensures synchronized
inventory management, enabling consistent delivery timelines regardless of the purchase channel. This level of integration
makes omnichannel retail a key driver of growth in the home & furnishings market.

• Packing and Logistical innovations:
o Standardized designs and roll-pack innovations in mattresses that involve compressing, vacuum-packing, and
rolling a mattress into a compact, box-like package. This reduces the shipping volume, lower transportation
costs, and improve last-mile delivery efficiency. Wakefit Innovations Limited was one of the first organized
players to introduce roll-pack technology for mattresses in India by establishing the necessary infrastructure
for roll-packing, reducing logistics costs compared to conventional transportation of open full form mattresses.
o Flat-pack furniture ships as compact, stackable pieces for easy home assembly, reducing packaging bulk,
cutting transport costs, and improving storage and warehouse efficiency, commonly used for engineered
wood beds and wardrobes. Wakefit Innovations Limited is one of the top two D2C players in flat-packed
furniture by revenue from EW beds and wardrobes among its D2C peers in Fiscal 2024.

A strong brand, built on quality, variety, and value, earns customer trust and loyalty, creating a cycle of repeat
purchases, advocacy, and sustained growth in the market
The home & furnishings market is highly trust-driven, as consumers prioritize quality, durability, and aesthetics when making
purchasing decisions. Since these categories are long-term investments and are high involvement purchases, buyers seek reliable
players that offer consistent craftsmanship, service, and value. Factors like standardized quality, transparent pricing, post-
purchase support, and seamless shopping experiences play a crucial role in building and retaining consumer trust. Without trust,
players struggle to drive repeat purchases and long-term loyalty in this category.
For example, Wakefit Innovations Limited was the first organized player in India to offer a 100-day free trial and return policy
for mattresses. It also led the industry by being the first organized player in India to introduce the 100% refund policy for
mattresses. As per Forbes India Awards for D2C Disruptors in 2022, Wakefit Innovations Limited ranks first among D2C
players with operations of over 5 years in the Home & Lifestyle category.
A strong brand presence enables seamless omnichannel expansion by leveraging consumer trust and recognition. It reduces
customer acquisition costs (“CAC”) through organic traffic, repeat purchases, and referrals, minimizing reliance on
performance marketing. This self-reinforcing cycle drives efficiency, sustained growth, and long-term profitability.
169Multi-category expansion increases share of wallet by driving repeat purchases and deeper customer engagement,
leveraging brand trust and supply chain efficiencies for cost-effective growth
A brand with a loyal customer base and established trust can leverage organic cross-selling into complementary categories,
expanding share of wallet and sustaining growth. Since home & furnishings categories have long replacement cycles, relying
on a single product line limits repeat purchases. Expanding into adjacent categories, such as moving from mattresses to furniture
such as beds, sofas, etc., and furnishing & décor products such as pillows, bedsheets, and cushions helps build greater brand
trust, enhances cross-selling opportunities, and strengthens customer acquisition by offering a more comprehensive and
cohesive value proposition. The furniture market is estimated at ₹ 1,800 to 2,000 billion (U.S.$ 22 to 24 billion) in CY2024,
while furnishings & décor is valued at ₹ 790 to 860 billion (U.S.$ 9.5 to 10.4 billion) in CY2024. Expanding into these
categories unlocks access to a larger market opportunity. For example, Wakefit Innovations Limited, which started out as a
mattress player would only have an estimated addressable market of ₹ 145 to 160 billion (U.S.$ 1.7 to 1.9 billion) as of CY2024.
But by expanding to the other complementary categories of furniture and furnishings & décor, it now has an estimated
addressable market of ₹ 2.8 to 3.0 trillion (U.S.$ 34 to 36 billion). This expansion creates sustained demand, strengthens
customer retention, and increases lifetime value by capturing a greater share of consumer spending.
Consumers are increasingly seeking one-stop home solutions, preferring players that offer a cohesive experience across multiple
categories. An anchor category serves as an entry point, with category expansion unlocking a larger total addressable market
(“TAM”) and increasing share of wallet. By ensuring consistency in quality, design, and functionality, players can reduce
switching behaviour, deepen customer engagement, and maximize spending per consumer.
A multi-category strategy is also cost-efficient, as a fully stacked player can leverage existing supply chains, warehousing, and
logistics with minimal investment, or implement modular design principles to create product variations efficiently. Expanding
into closely related product lines reduces the cost of new category launches, improves operational efficiency, and captures a
larger share of wallet. Additionally, cross-selling to existing customers increases order values and reduces CAC, making
marketing efforts more effective and sustainable.
Sustained growth in the home & furnishings industry hinges on efficiency, differentiation, wide design portfolio, and strategic
expansion. Full-stack companies that inculcate brand loyalty, deepen customer engagement through omnichannel experience,
and have a multi-category presence are better positioned to scale profitably. To thrive in an industry characterized by constant
evolution, players prioritize adapting to changing consumer preferences by fostering innovation and integrating digital and
physical channels seamlessly. This multifaceted approach empowers organizations to respond agilely to market demands,
enhance customer experiences, and differentiate themselves in a competitive landscape. By doing so, players not only strengthen
their market positioning but also actively contribute to shaping the trajectory of industry transformation. Ultimately, the ability
to innovate and integrate effectively will distinguish the leaders, enabling them to capture emerging opportunities and drive
sustained success in the evolving market environment.

key operational hurdles.
5. Limited repeat purchases and retention challenges: Mattresses and furniture have long replacement cycles,
reducing repeat purchases and customer retention. Companies operating in single-category segments face long-term
sustainability challenges. To drive sustained revenue growth, businesses must focus on continuous customer
acquisition, effective cross-selling strategies, and strong brand engagement.
Conclusion
India’s home & furnishings market is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and
a growing preference for organized, branded products. The market, valued at ₹ 2.9 to 3.2 trillion (U.S.$ 35 to 38 billion) in
CY2024, is projected to expand at a CAGR of 11% to 13%, reaching ₹ 5.4 to 6.4 billion (U.S.$ 65 to 77 billion) by CY2030.
This growth is further fuelled by increasing homeownership, evolving lifestyle aspirations, and a shift toward design-driven
home solutions.
174Market formalization is accelerating as branded players gain traction over unorganized local businesses, while premiumization
is reshaping consumer preferences, with a stronger emphasis on quality, aesthetics, and durability. At the same time, D2C and
digital-first players are streamlining supply chains and reducing inefficiencies, making high-quality home products more
accessible. Full-stack capabilities, spanning in-house manufacturing, design, and logistics are becoming key differentiators,
allowing players to optimize costs and maintain greater control over product quality.
Another defining shift is the expansion into multiple categories, with players diversifying across mattresses, furniture, and
furnishings & décor to offer end-to-end home solutions. This integrated approach enhances customer engagement, drives cross-
category purchases, and strengthens brand loyalty. While challenges such as supply chain complexities and pricing
inconsistencies remain, companies with full-stack models, omnichannel reach, and multi-category presence are well-positioned
to lead the industry’s next phase of growth.

We sell our products through a comprehensive omnichannel strategy that integrates both our own channels and external
channels, enabling us to reach customers in more than 700 districts across 28 states and 6 union territories. Our own channels
comprise our website and our COCO – Regular Stores, while external channels comprise various marketplaces, such as major
e-commerce platforms, including Pepperfry Limited and quick commerce platforms, and multi-branded outlets (“MBOs”)
including Pai International Electronics Limited. Our COCO – Regular Stores have grown from 23 as of March 31, 2023 to 125
as of September 30, 2025, located in 62 cities across 19 states and 2 union territories. Further, we commenced our MBO
operations on April 5, 2022, and within a period of less than three and a half years, our MBO store count has grown to 1,504
stores, located in 395 cities across 24 states and 4 union territories, as on September 30, 2025.
Our marketing efforts help customers discover our brand through various platforms, such as search engines, social media, OTT
platforms, marketplaces, and physical stores. Once they discover us, our customers can engage with our brand through our
website, COCO – Regular Stores, marketplaces and MBOs. We derive a significant portion of our revenue from operations
from the sale of our products through our own channels (our website and COCO – Regular Stores), demonstrating our ability
to engage with customers and sell our products directly to them. In the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023, our revenue from operations from the sale of products through our own channels amounted to ₹ 4,699.28
million, ₹ 7,255.68 million, ₹ 5,750.60 million and ₹ 4,672.55 million, representing 64.91%, 56.97%, 58.30% and 57.50% of
our total revenue from operations, respectively. In the six months period ended September 30, 2025, the average order value
for our COCO – Regular Stores was 78.78% higher than the average order value for our website. Sales through our own channels
provide us with control over the products and customer experience, enable us to increase brand loyalty, repeat purchases,
average order value, and customer conversion rates and improves our operations through insights into customer behaviour and
direct feedback from customers.
Strong Platform Play
Our first COCO – Regular Store opened on March 11, 2022, and we commenced our MBO operations on April 5, 2022. As of September 30, 2025, we had 125
COCO – Regular Stores and 1,504 MBOs.
The figure above illustrates our strong platform play, which involves providing a broad spectrum of products—encompassing
mattresses, furniture, and home furnishings—under one brand umbrella and through various channels, both online and offline.
This approach enables us to cross-sell complementary products and up-sell to more premium products, leveraging the power of
network effects to promote repeated customer engagement and purchases. For instance, a customer might initially purchase a
mattress through our website or a physical store. Following this initial purchase, we can leverage this relationship to cross-sell
complementary products such as pillows or beds, which are also part of our product range. Additionally, we might upsell to a
higher-end mattress with advanced features. As these interactions persist and the customer becomes more familiar with our
brand and products, we can encourage subsequent purchases, effectively increasing the customer lifetime value.
178We have developed a full-stack vertically integrated model that reflects our cohesive business approach, maintaining control
over every stage of the product lifecycle. We eliminate inefficiencies and intermediary costs by managing the entire product
journey. We ensure each product meets standards of aesthetics, functionality, and durability through our design, engineering,
and manufacturing capabilities. We emphasize manufacturing efficiency, storage convenience, and ease of transportation in our
products and processes, integrating designed-to-build and designed-to-store concepts. For example, we were one of the first
organised players in India to introduce roll-packing technology for mattresses in India by establishing necessary infrastructure
for roll-packing, reducing logistics costs compared to conventional transportation of open full form mattresses. (Source:
Redseer Report) Another example is the use of flat-pack furniture designs, which are ready-to-assemble furnishings. This helps
us optimize space, enhance efficiency across manufacturing, storage, and logistics processes, and facilitate efficient replacement
of parts and hardware in furniture. We were one of the top two D2C players in the flat-packed furniture market in terms of
revenue generated from engineered wood beds and wardrobes in Fiscal 2024. (Source: Redseer Report)
Our commitment to integrated approach extends throughout our supply chain management and distribution. We have
established a logistics network comprising one central mother warehouse, 7 inventory holding points (“INHPs”) and 18 points
of delivery (“PODs”) as of September 30, 2025, all strategically positioned to optimize logistics and distribution. We further
solidify our full-stack vertically integrated model through our own sales channels, which provide a direct and seamless
interaction with our customers. This direct engagement allows our customers to engage with our brands, and enables us to
enhance the customer experience, and offer personalized after-sales services and installations. We believe that this builds strong
relationships with our customers and reinforces brand loyalty.
We employ a data-driven approach across all facets of our business operations, enabling us to drive innovation in product
development, enhance efficiency in manufacturing, optimize our supply chain network, and elevate our customer interactions.
We harness data from multiple sources such as customer website interactions, feedback interviews, surveys, brand health track,
supply chain node information, and order fulfilment patterns. These insights help us identify purchase patterns and segment our
customers, allowing us to better understand and anticipate their needs. This, in turn, enables us to tailor our offerings and
marketing strategies to meet the specific preferences and behaviours of different customer segments, ensuring our products are
aligned with consumer demands and industry trends.
Our customer outreach focusses on building strong relationships and loyalty and enhancing our ‘Wakefit’ brand’s appeal
through a multifaceted approach that includes community engagement, strategic marketing, celebrity collaborations, influencer
engagement, and cultural integration. For example, our ‘Sleep Internship’ initiative, which invited people to apply for a position
where their job was to sleep nine hours a day for a consecutive period of 100 days to promote the correlation between quality
sleep and enhanced quality of life, is a testament to our dedication to community engagement. We have also run impactful
marketing campaigns such as the ‘Andar ke bacche ko jagao’, ‘Kumbhakaran’ and ‘Gaddagiri’ campaigns to raise brand
awareness. We also leverage endorsement through influencers and celebrities to enhance our brand’s appeal. We integrate our
brand into cultural phenomena through strategic placements in topical media and advertising, aligning with current trends and
cultural conversations to enhance brand relevance and engagement. Our marketing strategy focuses on cultivating high-quality,
viral customer interactions to achieve significant brand visibility and meaningful engagement. This approach ensures that our
marketing costs remain low while optimizing our results.
179Flywheel Effect
The growth of our Company is powered by a flywheel effect - a self-sustaining cycle that fosters expansion and ongoing
improvement. We leverage our brand equity to enter into additional adjacent product categories, aiming to increase the customer
life time value. Our omnichannel presence offers customers multiple touchpoints to discover our products. As our customer
base broadens, we receive feedback from these new customers, which we then use to enhance our existing products or to develop
new ones. This feedback loop facilitates our entry into new markets and the successful launch of new products. Our control
over R&D, supply chain, and distribution channels ensures we maintain product quality and competitive pricing, while also
streamlining the process of introducing new products to the market. This reinforcing cycle, marked by product category growth,
active customer engagement, and brand development, propels us forward, ensuring sustained growth.
We started our business with selling mattresses and then expanded into adjacent categories of furnishings and furniture, leading
up to becoming a complete home and furnishing solutions destination. In six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals
2025, 2024 and 2023, 22.16% , 19.63%, 21.60% and 21.35% of our furnishings customers were existing customers of other
categories. Similarly, in six months ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, 17.88%, 17.55%, 17.78% and
17.34% of our furniture customers were existing customers of other categories. This cross-selling ability has not only helped
us retain customers but also increase customer lifetime value.
We are led by an experienced management team with a proven track record in the industry. Our management team brings
expertise and strategic vision, enabling us to navigate market dynamics effectively and drive sustainable growth. For details,
see “Our Management – Brief Biographies of Directors” on page 231.
We focus on environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) principles, which are integral to our business operations. We are
committed to promoting a circular economy by repurposing waste materials such as sawdust into fuel briquettes and foam scrap
into rebonded foam. We also use reusable covers for delivering sofas, thereby minimizing waste and promoting sustainability.
We foster inclusive growth through community development programs and training initiatives such as our ‘Gurukul’ program,
which provides opportunities for upskilling and monetization. Candidates are provided probationary training for roles such as
carpenters, fitters, customer support, and retail staff, and upon successful training, move on from probationary/traineeship to
long term employment.

OUR STRENGTHS
1. Largest and fastest growing D2C home and furnishing solutions destination
We are a home and furnishing solutions provider in India, offering a wide range of products, including mattresses, furniture,
and furnishings, through our omnichannel presence. We are the largest D2C home and furnishings company in India in terms
of revenue from operations in Fiscal 2024. (Source: Redseer Report) As of March 31, 2024, with just over nine years of
operations, we are the fastest homegrown player in the home and furnishings market in India among organized peers to achieve
a total income of more than ₹ 10,000 million (out of which ₹ 9,863.53 million is revenue from operations), and our revenue
from operations has grown at a CAGR of 24.87% from Fiscal 2022 to Fiscal 2024, which is approximately 1.64 times higher
than the growth of the average revenue from operations of the organised players. (Source: Redseer Report)
A significant portion of our revenue from operations is derived from the sale of our products through our own channels (i.e.,
our website and COCO – Regular Stores). In the six months period ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023,
our revenue from the sale of products through our own channels amounted to ₹ 4,699.28 million, ₹ 7,255.68 million, ₹ 5,750.60
million and ₹ 4,672.55 million, representing 64.91%, 56.97%, 58.30% and 57.50% of our total revenue from operations,
respectively, demonstrating our ability to engage with customers and sell our products directly to them. Sales through our own
channels provide us with control over the products and customer experience, enhance brand loyalty, drive repeat purchases,
increase average order value and customer conversion rates, and optimize operations by leveraging insights into customer
behaviour and direct feedback.
Products sold through our website and COCO – Regular Stores enjoy higher profitability compared to those sold through
external sales channels such as marketplaces. By selling directly to customers, we eliminate the costs associated with third-
party sellers or distributors, thereby enabling us to increase our profit margins. We believe that this approach also allows us to
build a direct connection with customers and improves our operations through insights into customer behaviour and direct
feedback from customers. Our website, in particular, benefits from lower overhead costs as compared to traditional retail spaces.
The scalability of our website also allows us to handle increased traffic and sales without incurring significant additional costs.
Our COCO – Regular Stores also play a crucial role in our success. These outlets provide a branded environment with the
Company controlling the narrative where customers can engage with our trained staff members and experience our products
firsthand, fostering a deeper connection with our brand. We have strategically expanded our COCO – Regular Stores from 23
as of March 31, 2023, to 125 as of September 30, 2025, located in 62 cities across 19 states and 2 union territories.
The fact that we sell majority of our products through our own channels highlights the trust customers place in our brand,
choosing our channels over more familiar marketplaces and third-party owned retail stores. The direct interaction with
customers through our own channels enables us to gather valuable insights into their preferences and behaviours. We leverage
these insights for product development, personalized marketing and retention strategies, enhancing customer engagement and
repeat purchases.
2. Comprehensive home and furnishing solutions brand with a core focus on product innovation
We are a one-stop destination offering comprehensive solutions in the home and furnishing market, aiming to meet the needs
of customers at various stages of their lives. We are the only D2C home and furnishings company in India that has scaled across
all three product categories, namely, mattresses, furniture, and furnishings and décor, each having generated over ₹ 1,000
million in revenue in Fiscal 2024. (Source: Redseer Report) We are amongst the top three companies in the organised mattress
market in terms of revenue in Fiscal 2024 and the largest player in terms of online revenue from mattresses among our organised
peers. (Source: Redseer Report) Our strong platform play i.e., offering a diverse range of products across mattresses, furniture,
and furnishings under a single brand, enables us to cross-sell complementary products, up-sell higher-end products, and
encourage repeat purchases through network effects.
Our strength lies in our research and development (“R&D”)-driven product designs and our commitment to continuously
enhancing products based on customer feedback. Our product development process involves five steps: conceptualization,
engineering, prototyping, production development, and pilot testing. For further details, see “- Our Business Operations -
Product Development Process” on page 206.
182Our product development process enables us to develop and test new products, ensuring we meet evolving market demands.
We launched 3,070 and 2,333 SKUs across all our categories in Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. We initially produce
small batches of new products to assess market demand. This approach enables us to understand customer interest before scaling
up production, reducing inventory risks.
We focus on setting new standards in design and engineering through our blend of creativity, technical expertise, and customer
focus. Our comprehensive design process includes customer-centric design, market analysis, and the use of advanced software
tools. We also regularly review and study a wide range of design concepts from across the world, which helps us identify and
select distinctive styles across different product categories. Our team of product designers and engineers work closely to ensure
our products are aesthetic, functional, durable, and cost-effective to manufacture.
Over the years, we have introduced innovative products to set us apart in the market. For example, our advanced sleep tech
products, such as Regul8 and Track8 from the Zense range, showcase our dedication to enhancing sleep quality through
technology. Regul8 is designed to regulate the temperature of the mattresses, featuring water-based active temperature
regulators. Track8 is a non-wearable, contactless smart technology that monitors sleep patterns and provides valuable insights
to users, helping them understand their sleep habits and make informed decisions to improve their overall sleep quality.
3. Full-stack vertically integrated operations with differentiated processes and technical capabilities
Our full-stack vertically integrated operations enable us to control every aspect of our operations, from conceptualizing,
designing and engineering our products to manufacturing, distribution and providing customer experience and engagement. We
believe that this approach enhances operational efficiency, builds brand loyalty, and gives us a competitive edge.
• Design, engineering, and manufacturing. We focus on tech-centric R&D, engineering, and prototyping. We use computer-
aided design (“CAD”) to create detailed and accurate product designs, and computer-aided manufacturing (“CAM”) to
control the machines that produce our products. We use tools for visualizing and conceptualizing products with precision.
Every product is designed with functionality, dimensions, and ergonomics in mind. We upload our product designs to the
cloud, enabling access throughout the manufacturing process. Any design changes made in the cloud are automatically
recognized and applied by our linked machinery across all production facilities. This automated system reduces errors,
eliminates manual reconfiguration, boosts efficiency, and minimizes downtime.
183• Supply chain and logistics. Our well-structured supply chain network includes one mother warehouse in Hosur (of 1.55
lakh square feet), 7 INHPs (ranging from 10,000 to 55,000 square feet), and 18 PODs (ranging from 800 to 5,600 square
feet), as of September 30, 2025. The mother warehouse serves as the primary inventory repository and main distribution
point. INHPs hold inventory for mattresses and marketplace-serviced categories, reducing delivery times and logistics costs.
PODs act as transit hubs for last-mile deliveries and bases for furniture installers. This network is supported by installation
and post-sale assembly services, ensuring seamless delivery and customer satisfaction. As of September 30, 2025, we had
a team of 198 employees dedicated to providing installation services for our furniture, ensuring a seamless and professional
experience for our customers.
We optimize our supply chain and logistics processes by leveraging roll-pack technology to reduce the space and
volumetric weight of mattresses, using flat-pack packaging for efficient storage and replacement of parts and hardware in
furniture, and utilizing reusable covers during the delivery of sofas to customers, all contributing to a more efficient and
cost-effective logistics process, leading to faster deliveries. Further, our SAP-ERP integration streamlines our operations,
from manufacturing to sales, ensuring efficiency and accuracy across our business processes.
• Customer experience and engagement. Our direct interaction with customers through our website and COCO – Regular
Stores is integral to our full-stack approach, allowing us to build strong customer relationships and brand loyalty. We are
committed to enhancing the customer experience through the integration of advanced technologies. We conduct A/B testing
to compare customer behaviour across two versions of our webpages, ensuring we make informed decisions that
consistently improve conversion rates. We automate decision-making processes to enhance the efficiency of our customer
relationship management (“CRM”), ensuring our customers have a positive experience with us. Further, we have
developed ‘Wixy’, our interactive customer service chatbot, in order to provide prompt and efficient services to our
customers.
• Data and analytics. We place emphasis on data and analytics to enhance operational efficiency, enrich customer
experiences, and guide strategic decisions. We derive data from a variety of sources, such as customer interactions on our
website, direct customer feedback, external surveys, brand health tracks detailed supply chain management node-level data,
184and order fulfilment information. We use this data to gain insights into customer preferences and behaviours, helping us
align our operations with market trends and stay competitive. We store and manage this data using data warehousing and
engineering tools. We use data visualization tools such as Tableau (a product of Salesforce.com India Private Limited) and
Snowflake to analyse and present complex data in an understandable format. We leverage these insights to inform our
product development, marketing strategies, fine-tune our channel margins and pricing decisions. We are ISO/IEC
27001:2022 certified, attesting to our commitment towards adhering to best practices and principles for managing
information security risks. As of September 30, 2025, we had a team of 31 employees who specialized in deriving,
analysing, and generating insights from data to support these efforts.
The figure below depicts our approach to leveraging data for informed decision making:
We operate five manufacturing facilities of which two are situated at Bengaluru, Karnataka, two at Hosur, Tamil Nadu and one
at Sonipat, Haryana. Our facilities are equipped with imported machinery and automation technologies, such as robotic arms
and roller belts, which streamline the production process and reduce waste. We continuously invest in enhancing our
manufacturing capabilities and automation. Our focus is on efficient production processes, quality manufacturing, and
technological innovations. Advanced automation ensures agility and precision, meeting production demands while minimizing
wastage. During the six months ended September 30, 2025, our available capacity was 0.64 million mattresses, 0.33 million
furniture and 1.59 million furnishing. We employ AI-driven safety systems to monitor operations, ensuring reliability and safety
throughout the production cycle. We focus on sustainability by minimizing waste with polyurethane (“PU”) rollers and adopting
3-ply cardboard packaging. We also recycle foam scraps to create rebonded foam, supporting our commitment to eco-friendly
practices.
We also prioritize innovative design for space optimization. We design and engineer our products with the entire downstream
process in mind, from production to installation. This approach allows for designs optimised for flat-packing, improving
production efficiency and reducing inefficiencies in manufacturing, storage, and logistics. We design most components for
versatility, enabling their use across multiple SKUs. This leads to high-volume manufacturing of components, which are then
customized to create different products, reducing costs and increasing installation productivity. Assigning trained delivery
personnel to carry out product installations streamlines the post-purchase customer experience, reducing wait times and
enhancing customer satisfaction, (Source: Redseer Report) and we have trained our furniture fitters to undertake furniture
deliveries, ensuring time and cost efficient deliveries.
We have implemented cost optimization initiatives across our furniture and mattress manufacturing processes. We focus on
increasing process efficiency, utilization, and reducing returns and wastage. For example, we have introduced agile processes
such as ‘Every Part Every Interval’ (“EPEI”) to minimize wastage. In furniture manufacturing, we laminate raw boards in-
house instead of purchasing pre-laminated boards, which reduces costs and enhances our ability to customize products
according to specific requirements.
We prioritize quality assurance through testing and certifications. We conduct evaluations for strength, stability, and durability
on prototypes of each product at labs such as S G S India Private Limited and TUV Rheinland India Private Limited. We
simulate long-term use across predefined cycles and weights to ensure our products meet high standards of performance. We
185subject each new product to thorough testing, including load testing for furniture and compression testing for mattresses and
sofas. Our dedication to these standards ensures that our products are not only durable but also certified for reliability and safety.
4. Omnichannel sales presence and strategically located store network
We have built a comprehensive sales network that blends our own channels (i.e., our website and COCO – Regular Stores) and
external channels (i.e., marketplaces and MBOs), ensuring easy access to our products for our customers. Our strong marketing
initiatives ensure that customers can discover our brand through various platforms, including search engines, social media, OTT
platforms, marketplaces, and physical retail stores. Once they discover us, they have multiple options to engage with our brand,
including our website, COCO – Regular Stores, MBOs and marketplaces. We take a structured approach to integrating these
various customer touchpoints, ensuring a cohesive experience that provides consistency across all channels and enhances
overall customer satisfaction. D2C players that have a well-executed omnichannel strategy are outpacing traditional players by
seamlessly integrating offline experience centres with their online D2C model. (Source: Redseer Report) Accordingly, we
believe that our omnichannel presence provides us with a competitive advantage over traditional players in the home and
furnishings market.
Our own channels
• Our website. Our website provides a seamless shopping experience, with easy navigation, comprehensive product details
with rich content, and tools such as measurement guides and 3D renders to assist customers in making well-informed
decisions.
• COCO – Regular Stores. These stores offer customers a hands-on experience with our products, enhancing their
understanding and trust in our brand. We have grown our COCO – Regular Stores from 23 as of March 31, 2023 to 125 as
of September 30, 2025, located in 62 cities across 19 states and 2 union territories. In the six months period ended
September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, we have added 24, 57, 34 and 22 COCO – Regular Stores,
respectively. As of 30 September, 2025, our COCO – Regular Stores are exclusive brand outlets operated by the Company
from exclusively leased, sub-leased or licensed premises, ranging from 322 square feet to 8,867 square feet, with the
average store size of 3154.56 square feet. Our COCO – Regular Stores, especially for furniture, serve as experience centres
without holding bulky inventory, thereby improving our capital efficiency. Our strategy for adding new COCO – Regular
Stores is data-driven, focusing on identifying locations with higher business potential. We assess market demand,
population density, and demographic trends to understand where our products have the best potential. By analysing
customer data, we pinpoint underserved areas that could benefit from our COCO – Regular Stores. We also review the
sales performance of our existing COCO – Regular Stores to identify successful patterns and replicate them in new areas.
This strategic approach has been instrumental in our retail store expansion, resulting in only 13 stores closures, most of
which were closed either due to low revenue generation and relocation of the COCO – Regular Stores to other locations
within same or similar catchment area.
186External channels
• Marketplaces. Our products are sold on various marketplaces, including major e-commerce platforms, such as Pepperfry
Limited and quick commerce platforms, offering customers the convenience of shopping on platforms they are familiar
with.
187• MBOs. Our products are available in various MBOs, including Pai International Electronics Limited, providing
additional touchpoints for customers. Further, we commenced our MBO operations on April 5, 2022, and within a period
of less than three and a half years, our MBO store count has grown to 1,504 stores, located in 395 cities across 24 states
and 4 union territories, as on September 30, 2025.
The table below shows a breakdown of our revenue from operations from multiple sales channels for the period/years indicated,

5. Our multi-faceted marketing approach enhancing our brand image
Our multi-faceted marketing approach focusses on building strong, enduring relationships and bolstering customer loyalty to
our brand. This involves a blend of community engagement, strategic marketing, celebrity collaborations, and cultural
integration, all of which are essential in shaping our overall brand image.
• Community engagement. We engage with our community through initiatives that create meaningful connections. For
example, our ‘Sleep Internship’ initiative, which invited people to apply for a position where their job was to sleep nine
hours a day for a consecutive period of 100 days to promote the correlation between quality sleep and enhanced quality of
life, garnered over 40.99 million views on social media platforms and 1.26 million applications across four seasons. We
believe that this initiative exemplifies our dedication to community engagement. We have also been publishing the Great
Indian Sleep Score, our annual survey report, for eight consecutive editions since 2018 on World Sleep Day, celebrated
every year on the Friday before the March equinox. This report is widely disseminated and covered through various news
campaigns.
• Marketing campaigns. We execute strategic marketing campaigns to raise brand awareness and drive engagement through
creative and memorable advertising. Our campaigns such as ‘Andar ke bacche ko jagao’, ‘Kumbhakaran’, and ‘Gaddagiri’
have captured public attention, showcasing our ability to create impactful and relatable content that resonates with our
target audience.
• Celebrity collaborations. We leverage the influence of popular influencers and celebrities to reach new customers and
enhance our brand’s appeal. We leverage the influence of popular influencers and celebrities to reach new customers and
enhance our brand’s appeal. We have in the past, collaborated with popular celebrities, including Vijay Singh Deol a.k.a.
Bobby Deol, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna to boost brand awareness.
• Cultural integration. We integrate our brand into cultural phenomena through strategic placements in topical media and
advertising, aligning with current trends and cultural conversations to enhance brand relevance and engagement. This form
of product integration allows us to showcase our products in a relatable context, making our brand a part of everyday
conversations and experiences.
We also conduct targeted performance marketing campaigns through social media and search engines. We maintain a
disciplined approach to our marketing spend, focusing on achieving significant brand visibility and customer engagement
without incurring excessive costs. This approach ensures that our marketing efforts are both efficient and sustainable,
contributing to our overall financial health. In the six months period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and
2023, our advertisement and business promotion expenses were ₹ 368.91 million, ₹ 963.25 million, ₹ 773.64 million and ₹
959.09 million, representing 5.10%, 7.56%, 7.84% and 11.80% of our revenue from operations, respectively.
188Our customer engagement and marketing capabilities have resulted in strong customer retention. In the six months period ended
September 30, 2025, and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, our repeat customers (i.e., customers who made purchases on our own
channels using the same mobile numbers), contributed ₹ 2,566.50 million, ₹ 3,679.86 million, ₹ 2,939.46 million and ₹ 2,139.49
million, which represented 35.45%, 28.89%, 29.80% and 26.33% of our revenue from operations, respectively. Our
commitment to delivering quality customer experiences is also reflected in the rating for our products on popular e-commerce
platforms. For example, as of September 30, 2025, the rating for our products on a major global e-commerce platform was 4.3
out of 5 for mattresses, 4.1 out of 5 for furniture and 4.1 out of 5 for furnishings, and on another major homegrown e-commerce
platform was 4.4 out of 5 for mattresses, 4.3 out of 5 for furniture and 4.3 out of 5 for furnishings. These ratings reflect the high
level of satisfaction our customers have with our products.

OUR STRATEGIES
1. Strategic expansion of COCO – Regular Stores and enhance sales on our website
We intend to continue expanding our retail network to enhance our market reach and improve customer accessibility, while
also undertaking initiatives to further enhance sales on our website.
Opening COCO – Jumbo Stores and additional COCO – Regular Stores
189We opened our first COCO – Regular store in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh on March 11, 2022. Since then, we have grown our
COCO – Regular Stores from 23 as of March 31, 2023, to 125 as of September 30, 2025, located in 62 cities across 19 states
and 2 union territories. In the six months period ended September 30, 2025, the average order value for our COCO – Regular
Stores was 78.78% higher than the average order value for our website. We intend to open additional COCO Stores in the
following store formats tailored to the needs of different markets:
• Opening COCO – Jumbo Stores. We intend to strategically set up COCO – Jumbo Stores, each spanning 50,000 to 200,000
square feet, to offer a comprehensive range of our products and provide a one-stop shopping experience. These stores will
serve as regional hubs, attracting customers from a broader geographic area, thereby driving increased footfall and higher
sales volumes. These stores will offer a wide range of products, allowing customers to address their various home and
furnishings shopping needs in a single visit. Leveraging our extensive product portfolio across various price points, our
COCO – Jumbo Stores will provide a comprehensive shopping destination where customers can explore and visualize
multiple design options for bedrooms, living rooms, and other home setups under one roof. We intend to open two COCO
– Jumbo Stores in Bengaluru, Karnataka. Further, we may integrate restaurant amenities into our COCO – Jumbo Stores
to enhance customer experience, thereby increasing visit duration, loyalty, and revenue per visit, ultimately improving
overall store performance.
• Opening additional stores in existing COCO – Regular Store. We recognize that not all cities or clusters have the potential
to generate sufficient revenue to sustain the capital expenditure and operating expenditure of a COCO – Jumbo Stores.
Therefore, we intend to continue opening more COCO – Regular Stores in our existing format in locations where they are
well-suited. The size, number and exact area of the COCO – Regular Stores may vary and depend on various factors such
as type/format of the catchment area, availability of suitable locations, lease rentals, potential footfall, and competition
within a given region or across regions. We intend to open COCO – Regular Stores of varied sizes, tailored to specific
catchment areas for mattress, furniture and furnishings products. We also intend to tap into smaller cities and towns and
underserved pockets of metropolitan cities in India. By opening stores in these locations, we aim to capture customers who
are not converting due to the lack of a touch-and-feel experience in the home and furnishing business. For further details,
see “Objects of the Offer – Capital expenditure to be incurred by our Company for setting up of 117 new COCO – Regular
Stores” on page 121.
We will leverage detailed insights on store location identification, demographic insights, foot traffic analysis, revenue
projections, and retail competition to implement our expansion plans. This data-driven approach will enable us to ensure that
our new COCO – Regular Stores are situated in high-visibility locations with customer potential.
We may also expand our retail stores through a franchise model which we believe will allow us to scale our footprints.
Enhance sales on our website
We intend to build on our past successes and implement a comprehensive strategy to further enhance sales on our website. In
the past, we have undertaken certain initiatives, such as offering same or better delivery speeds compared to certain
marketplaces, with next-day delivery of our mattress SKUs in key cities. We also leveraged performance marketing channels
to target customers in key cities, presenting a value proposition that we believe distinguishes our offerings from those of our
competitors. We have also leveraged partnerships with leading banks and payment partners to offer competitive financing
options, aligning with the benefits available on marketplaces. We have also created new buying occasions, such as World Sleep
Day, to drive traffic and engagement on our website. Leveraging the flexibility of our own platform compared to rigid
marketplace listings we have enhanced the customer experience on our website through rich content, intuitive navigation, and
seamless checkout processes. We launched certain product offerings exclusively on our website and introduced an own channel
exclusive 100-day free trial period, both of which enabled us to drive sales. We intend to enhance our delivery capabilities by
expanding our current POD network. This will allow us to offer same-day delivery for a select range of products in specific
areas.
We also intend to expand our network of MBOs, which has grown from the first MBO store on April 5, 2022 to 1,504 MBO
stores as on September 30, 2025, in 395 cities across 24 states and 4 union territories. We intend to do so by carefully selecting
and partnering with a diverse range of dealers that align with our vision of offering quality products.
2. Synergistic, data-driven product category expansion with a focus on scaling our operations
Our strategy for product expansion involves introducing products that complement our existing offerings to become a complete
home and furnishing solutions brand. This approach enhances our upsell and cross-sell opportunities, thereby increasing our
share in the customer’s wallet and customer lifetime value. For example, in the past, we have expanded from mattresses to
include furnishings such as pillows, bed sheets, comforters, beds, sofas and wardrobes.
190We intend to expand our product range within each category. We will support our product expansion strategy with data-driven
decision-making, focusing on the optimal development of SKUs across various categories. Further, consumer preferences
across home and furnishings categories are shaped by a balance of utility and aesthetics. (Source: Redseer Report) We will
leverage our data-driven approach to analyse market trends, recognize patterns in coordinated aesthetics and sales data to ensure
that our product offerings are aligned with market demands and customer needs and preferences.
We intend to scale up our furniture business by employing the customer-centric approach which helped us build our mattress
business. This involves offering high-quality products that provide strong value for money, conducting delight calls for
feedback, and building word-of-mouth through brand trust. We plan to continue launching new furniture products with high
growth potential. We have in the past introduced new products to meet market demands. For instance, in Fiscal 2025 and 2024,
we launched 2,534 SKUs and 1,065 SKUs in the furniture category, respectively. Further, we launched 3,070 and 2,333 SKUs
across all our categories Fiscal 2025 and Fiscal 2024, respectively. To support our growth, we plan to expand our furniture
production capacity by investing in advanced machinery and equipment designed for producing engineered wood furniture. For
further details, see “Objects of the Offer – Capital expenditure to be incurred by the Company for purchase of new equipment
and machinery” on page 124.
In the mattress category, we have introduced innovative products in the past and continue to do so to set us apart in the market.
For example, our advanced sleep tech products, such as Regul8 and Track8 from the Zense range, showcase our dedication to
enhancing sleep quality through technology. For further details of our sleep tech products, see “- Our Business Operations –
Smart products” on page 200. We are currently pilot testing a technology that will help us offer personalized mattresses. This
technology leverages firmness customization techniques to create mattresses tailored to individual needs.
We also intend to introduce a range of premium products across our product categories. For example, we launched the ‘Plus’
range products for our mattresses, sofas, and wardrobes, which offer enhanced features and quality. This strategy enables us to
increase the average spend per customer and target a broader customer base, including those seeking premium solutions.
We intend to explore opportunities to acquire entities that will help us expand our existing product categories and diversify into
new ones, ultimately broadening our customer base and driving growth. Further, we may venture into interior designing
business leveraging our experience in developing complete home and furnishing solutions, further extending our offerings with
customised furniture options within our existing design ethos.
3. Continue to develop, invest and increase brand salience and brand awareness
We intend to enhance our brand salience and awareness through strategic initiatives. Our approach involves leveraging sales
and marketing strategies that have proven effective in the past. Our customer outreach strategy aims to foster lasting
relationships and strengthen brand loyalty through a mix of community engagement, marketing, celebrity collaboration, and
cultural integration. For further details, see “- Our Strengths - Our multi-faceted marketing approach enhancing our brand
image” on page 188.
We plan to continue engaging brand ambassadors to connect with a broader audience, build a brand identity, and foster customer
trust. We will maintain our focus on digital marketing, using search engine optimization and performance marketing to increase
visibility on major search engines. We aim to create a brand identity through meaningful endorsements and viral content that
resonate with customers, driving awareness and enhancing brand recall.
We intend to partner with influencers who align with our brand values to engage our target audience and amplify our message
through contextualised meaningful endorsement. We will continue to use market intelligence insights from various platforms
to shape our marketing strategies and align them with customer trends and preferences. We also plan to maintain propositions,
such as the 100-day trial, which have differentiated us in the market and built customer trust. We were the first organised player
in India to offer a 100-day free trial and return policy for mattresses. We also led the industry as the first organised player in
India to introduce 100% refund policy for mattresses. (Source: Redseer Report) Through these initiatives, we aim to enhance
our brand salience and awareness and solidify our position in the home solutions industry.
We intend to launch and test multiple new brands under the aegis of our ‘Wakefit’ brand. These new launches are currently at
the development stage and are expected to move to the pilot stage. This is being done to specifically target the identified
opportunities across different price points and customer segments with targeted product offerings. These initiatives are based
on our insights into evolving consumer preferences in both the affordable and premium categories. Our approach is to pilot
these brands at a controlled scale and product category, beginning with mattresses, evaluate traction, and scale them
progressively based on clear success metrics. We believe that expanding product portfolio through different brand stories/ sub-
brands, offers greater incremental revenue potential compared to extending new SKUs within our existing brand architecture.
Over time, this house-of-brands strategy will enable us to broaden our addressable market, deepen customer engagement, and
enhance our revenue growth trajectory.
191Further, we intend to utilize ₹ 1,084.04 million of our Net Proceeds towards funding of our marketing and advertisement spends,
deployed as ₹ 400.00 million in Fiscal 2027 and ₹ 484.04 million in Fiscal 2028 and ₹ 200 million in Fiscal 2029. For further
details, see “Objects of the Offer - Marketing and advertisement expenses toward enhancing the awareness and visibility of our
brand” on page 125.
4. Leverage technology to enhance customer experience and drive operational efficiencies
We intend to leverage technology to enhance customer experience and drive operational efficiencies. In the past, we have
improved our website by incorporating rich content, such as detailed comparison charts, to help customers make informed
decisions. We have also streamlined navigation from the home page to category and product pages, ensuring a seamless flow
from cart to checkout. This level of customization is only possible on our own website, offering a quality experience compared
to the more rigid marketplace listings and enabling us to have control over the customer experience. We have further enhanced
the customer experience by enabling live video demos for website users. When a customer requests a demo, they are connected
via video call with a store executive who can showcase products in real-time, providing a near-real experience of the product.
We have also implemented self-service bots to handle customer queries on the website, increasing transparency and efficiency.
We intend to continue undertaking such initiatives to further enhance our customer experience. For example, we are working
on developing bots that will make transaction update calls once an order is placed. We also plan to increase node-level
transparency of product delivery status, allowing customers to track their orders as they move through multiple warehouses and
logistics partners. This will provide a clear and detailed view of the delivery process, enhancing customer trust and satisfaction.
We intend to conduct elaborate A/B tests to personalize the search functionality and other visual elements on our website. We
will leverage performance marketing tools to track consumer trends across our discovery channels, providing insights into
customer behaviours and preferences. This insight will help us to tailor our marketing initiatives, ensuring they are aligned with
audience interests, which will enhance the effectiveness of our campaigns.
Further, we intend to optimize our supply chain and logistics processes by leveraging Radio-Frequency Identification (“RFID”)
technology which tracks and manage inventory in real time, ensuring end-to-end order tracking.
5. Increase customer lifetime value
We are committed to maximizing customer lifetime value by fostering enduring relationships and delivering quality experiences
to our customers. Our initiatives on strengthening presence across sales channels, introduction of synergistic products and
categories, and a high-engagement marketing approach are all targeted towards increasing customer lifetime value and
enhancing share of customer’s wallet. For example, we have cross-sold new product categories to our existing mattress
customers, offering them additional complementary products that expand their purchasing options. In Fiscals 2023 and 2024
and 2025 and six months ended September 30, 2025, 21.35%, 21.60%, 19.63% and 22.16% of our furnishings customers were
existing customers of other categories. Similarly, in Fiscals 2023, 2024, 2025 and six months ended September 30, 2025,
17.34%, 17.78%, 17.55% and 17.88% of our furniture customers were existing customers of other categories. We have
conducted digital campaigns across multiple sales channels to increase awareness of our product categories and have also used
targeted communications to highlight related categories based on customers’ previous purchases to encourage repeat purchases.
We have also launched new and improved variants of mattresses and beds, giving customers the opportunity to upgrade their
existing products. Further, our COCO – Regular Stores have played a crucial role in showcasing a wider range of product
offerings, allowing customers to experience our products firsthand, which increases their confidence in purchases and results
in higher average order value. Further, we have taken trust-building initiatives such as offering a 100-day free trial for
mattresses, which further enhance customer confidence and loyalty. We intend to continue and expand on these initiatives to
further enhance customer lifetime value.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Over the years, we have grown to offer a wide array of products, providing comprehensive home and furnishing solutions to
meet customers’ evolving needs. We offer our products under three product categories, including mattresses, furniture and

Key Manufacturing Processes
We are dedicated to delivering quality products to our customers. To achieve this, we utilize advanced automation technologies
in our mattress and furniture manufacturing processes, ensuring production agility, precision, and minimal wastage.
Mattress Manufacturing
Our mattress manufacturing process has multiple stages, including foam manufacturing, curing, cutting, gluing, stitching, and
roll-packing, supported by AI-driven safety systems to ensure operational reliability. We insert temperature monitoring probes
in foam blocks during curing to confirm stability and keep it safely below its flash point. If any probe exceeds our safety limit,
our AI-based alert and protection systems activate immediately. Details of the key steps of the mattress manufacturing process
are as follows:
Foam manufacturing - The foam manufacturing process utilizes multiple chemicals with specific formulations, including
toluene diisocyanate and methylenediphenyl diisocyanate. We have imported our foam manufacturing machines from Laader
Berg AS, a company based in Norway.
Curing and Storage- Foam blocks undergo a 24-hour curing process, during which temperature is closely monitored using AI-
based probes to prevent fire hazards. A modular safety system, including extinguishers and temperature-sensing mechanisms,
is in place to enhance operational security. After curing, foam blocks are stored for an additional 48 hours. The blocks are
stacked up to five levels high, with a storage capacity of 1,400 to 1,500 blocks at a time. The total curing and storage time of
72 hours ensures optimal molecular bonding of the foam.
Cutting - Foam blocks are trimmed and sliced using specialized machinery.
207Gluing - Foam layers are assembled and glued using water-based adhesives. A curing period of 60 to 70 minutes ensures
bonding at a molecular level. The adhesive used is a water-based glue, (except in case of spring mattresses) which improves
efficiency and reduces costs, when compared to hot melt glue.
Customization - Custom mattress orders are further trimmed and finalized during this stage to meet specific customer
requirements.
Roll packing – Stitched inner liner and outer covers are applied to the mattress before roll packing.
Furniture Manufacturing
Our furniture manufacturing process combines advanced technology, craftsmanship, and sustainable practices to deliver quality
products. For solid wood, we season and treat the raw natural solid wood logs, converting it into six-sided plane components.
Our advanced machinery creates variable-sized blocks and planks, which increases yield and reduces costs. This is followed by
precision cutting, drilling, and sub-assembly. The finishing steps are sanding, staining, sealer application, and a topcoat for
gloss and surface resistance. We use polyurethane-based coatings for superior aesthetics, durability, and scratch resistance,
while minimizing health risks.
Our engineered wood processing mechanism includes in-house lamination, optimized cutting for high yield, and edge banding
for smooth, durable edges. Final products are flat-packed in 3-ply cardboard boxes to minimize damage and environmental
impact. The key steps of our furniture manufacturing process are as follows:
Key Design, Engineering and Manufacturing Practices Across Our Operations
208• Roll-packing technology. We were one of the first organised players in India to introduce roll-packing technology for
mattresses in India by establishing necessary infrastructure for roll-packing, reducing logistics costs compared to
conventional transportation of open full form mattresses. (Source: Redseer Report) This technology allows us to compress
and roll mattresses into compact cylinders or spherocubes/ fillets, making them easier to handle, store, and transport. The
roll-packing process is automated, ensuring consistent packaging quality and reducing labour costs. This method also
minimizes the risk of damage during transit, maintaining the integrity of our products. Further, roll-packing supports our
sustainability efforts by reducing the volume of packaging materials needed and optimizing transportation loads.
• Flat-pack furniture. We use flat-pack furniture designs which allow us to optimize space and improve efficiency across
manufacturing, storage, and logistics. This also allows for high-volume production of versatile components that can be
customized into various products, reducing costs. Further, the versatility of components has made part replacement possible,
reducing repair and replacement costs and improving operational efficiency. It also ensures reduced damage to the products
when compared to transporting assembled and semi-assembled products.
• Engineered wood manufacturing. We use advanced machinery and automation to ensure precision and quality. We use
software that maximizes material use and speeds up production. Our saws cut multiple boards at once, increasing efficiency.
For drilling, we use CNC machines that reduce setup time and ensure precise layouts. We also use high-speed sanders to
ensure smooth surfaces. We also apply durable coatings that enhance the appearance and longevity of our products. These
technologies help us produce quality engineered wood products efficiently and sustainably. This approach reflects our
commitment to innovation not just in product design, but also in process design.
• Half-moon washers. In our engineering processes, we have introduced half-moon washers. These enhance product strength
without compromising functionality, aesthetics, or cost-effectiveness. This ensures that our products are durable and
maintain their design integrity, all while keeping costs in check.
Distribution and Logistics
As of September 30, 2025, our distribution network includes one mother warehouse in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, seven INHPs, and
18 PODs in India. Our mother warehouse serves as the central hub for all our inventory, INHPs hold inventory for mattresses
and marketplace-serviced categories, while PODs ensure rapid last-mile delivery.
Our transportation and logistics operations are structured to ensure efficient and reliable delivery services that enhance customer
satisfaction. For mattress deliveries, we primarily use our transport network through hired transport services, and for areas
beyond our reach, we engage third-party logistics service providers. For furniture, we use our own network for most orders,
with third-party providers handling the rest. We optimize our packaging to reduce logistics costs—flat-packing for furniture
and roll-packing for mattresses. We utilize technology and analytics to improve inventory management, route planning, and
operational transparency. Our in-house ‘Order Management System’ directs orders to the most optimal delivery paths, with
last-mile route planning managed through a logistics management platform.
209Our returns and replacements process aims to minimize costs and maximize the value of returned items. Mattresses are returned
under a 100-day policy and sent back to the factory for re-processing. These returned mattresses are shipped from each
warehouse to the nearest manufacturing location. Our quality control team inspects every return and classifies it as follows:
i) Re-sale: If the mattress remains unopened and its packaging is intact, it is classified as eligible for re-sale;
ii) Refurbishment: If the mattress has been opened but its foam core is undamaged, the zipper outer cover and inner cover are
removed, laundered, and, subject to quality control team’s approval, the same is reused. Further, the foam core is retained
as raw material for new finished goods; and
iii) Scrap: When the foam core is damaged, the mattress is designated for scrap. The zipper outer cover and inner cover are
laundered and reused only if approved by our quality control team, while the damaged foam core is disposed of as scrap
for upcycling into rebonded foam.
The table below sets forth details of our return and refund claim ratio as a percentage of our gross revenue from mattresses for
the periods/years indicated:
Particulars Six months ended September Fiscal 2025(1) Fiscal 2024
30, 2025(1)
Return and refund ratio(2) (%) 8.50% 8.30% 8.65%
(1) Includes returns and refunds under the 100-day policy and returns and refunds in the ordinary course of business.
(2) Return and refund ratio is calculated as the sale value of the returned products as a percentage of gross revenue from mattresses.
For furniture, we send replacement parts instead of the entire product to reduce material and logistics costs. This approach
reflects our commitment to operational efficiency and customer service.
Export of our products
In the six months period ended September 30, 2025, and Fiscal 2025, we have sold our products in Japan, Nepal, United Arab

Intellectual property laws
The Trade Marks Act, 1999 (“Trademarks Act”)
The Trademarks Act governs the statutory protection of trademarks and prohibits any use of deceptively similar trademarks,
among others. The purpose of the Trademarks Act is to grant exclusive rights to marks such as a brand, label and heading, and
to obtain relief in case of infringement of registered trademarks. Indian law permits the registration of trademarks for both
goods and services. Once granted, a trademark registration is valid for 10 years unless cancelled, subsequent to which, it can
be renewed. If not renewed, the mark is removed from the register of trademarks and the registration is required to be restored.
The Patents Act, 1970 (“Patents Act”)
The Patents Act governs the patent regime in India. Being a signatory to the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
Rights (“TRIPS”), India is required to recognize product patents as well as process patents. In addition to the broad requirement
that an invention satisfy the requirements of novelty, utility and non-obviousness in order for it to avail patent protection, the
Patents Act further provides that patent protection may not be granted to certain specified types of inventions and materials
even if they satisfy the above criteria. Section 39 of the Patents Act also prohibits any person resident in India from applying
for a patent for an invention outside India without making an application for a patent for the same invention in India. The term
of a patent granted under the Patents Act pursuant to Section 53 is for a period of twenty years from the date of filing of the
application for the patent. A patent shall cease to have effect if the renewal fee is not paid within the period prescribed for the
payment of such renewal fee. Further, the Patents Act also provides for the recognition of product patents in respect of food,
medicine and drugs; that import of patented products will not be considered as an infringement; and that under certain
circumstances, the burden of proof in case of infringement of process patents may be transferred to the alleged infringer.
220Laws relation to taxation
The Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) is levied on supply of goods or services or both jointly by the Central Government and
State Governments. GST provides for imposition of tax on the supply of goods or services and will be levied by the Central
Government and by the State Government including union territories on intra-state supply of goods or services. Further, Central
Government levies GST on the inter-state supply of goods or services. The GST is enforced through various acts viz. Central
Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“CGST”), relevant state’s Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“SGST”), Union Territory Goods
and Services Act, 2017 (“UTGST”), Integrated Goods and Services Act, 2017 (“IGST”), Goods and Services (Compensation
to States) Act, 2017 and various rules made thereunder.
Further, the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the “Income Tax Act”) is applicable to every company, whether domestic or foreign whose
income is taxable under the provisions of the Income Tax Act or rules made there under depending upon its “Residential Status”
and “Type of Income” involved. The Income Tax Act provides for the taxation of persons resident in India on global income
and persons not resident in India on income received, accruing or arising in India or deemed to have been received, accrued or
arising in India. Every company assessable to income tax under the Income Tax Act is required to comply with the provisions
thereof, including those relating to tax deduction at source, advance tax, minimum alternative tax, etc. In 2019, the Government
has also passed an amendment act pursuant to which concessional rates of tax are offered to a few domestic companies and new
manufacturing companies.
Foreign Investment and Trade Regulations
Foreign Investment Regulations
Foreign investment in India is governed by the provisions of Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999, as amended, along
with the rules, regulations and notifications made by the Reserve Bank of India thereunder, and the consolidated FDI Policy,
effective from October 15, 2020, issued by the DPIIT, and any modifications thereto or substitutions thereof, issued from time
to time (the “Consolidated FDI Policy”). in terms of the FEMA Rules and the FDI Policy, up to 100% foreign investment is
currently permitted in a company engaged in manufacturing activities in India (including contract manufacturing in India).
Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992 and the rules framed thereunder (“FTA”)
The FTA is the main legislation concerning foreign trade in India. The FTA, read with the Foreign Trade (Regulation) Rules,
1993 provides for the development and regulation of foreign trade by facilitating imports into, and augmenting exports from,
India and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. It authorizes the government to formulate as well as announce
the foreign trade policy and to keep amending the same on a timely basis. The Government has also been given a wide power
to prohibit, restrict and regulate the exports and imports in general as well as specified cases of foreign trade. The FTA read
with the Foreign Trade Policy, 2023 prohibits anybody from undertaking any import or export except under an importer-
exporter code (“IEC”) number granted by the Director General of Foreign Trade. Hence, every entity in India engaged in any
activity involved in import/export is required to obtain an IEC unless specifically exempted from doing so. The IEC shall be
valid until it superseded or cancelling by the issuing authority. An IEC number allotted to an applicant is valid for all its
branches, divisions, units and factories. Failure to obtain the IEC number shall attract penalty under the FTA.
Customs Act, 1962 (“Customs Act”)
Under the Customs Act, the Central Government has the power to prohibit either absolutely or subject to such conditions, the
import or export of goods of any specified description. Further, the Central Government may specify goods of such class or
description, if it is satisfied that it is necessary to take special measures for the purpose of checking the illegal import, circulation
or disposal of such goods.
Competition Act, 2002 (“Competition Act”) as amended by the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 (“Competition Act
Amendment”)
The Competition Act is an act to prevent practices having adverse effect on competition, to promote and sustain competition in
markets, to protect interest of consumer and to ensure freedom of trade in India. The act deals with prohibition of (i) certain
agreements such as anti-competitive agreements and (ii) abuse of dominant position and regulation of combinations. No
enterprise or group shall abuse its dominant position in various circumstances as mentioned under the Competition Act. The
prima facie duty of the Competition Commission of India (“Commission”) is to eliminate practices having adverse effect on
competition, promote and sustain competition, protect interest of consumer and ensure freedom of trade. The Commission shall
issue notice to show cause to the parties to combination calling upon them to respond within 30 days in case it is of the opinion
that there has been an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India. The Competition Act Amendment introduces a deal
value threshold of ₹20,000.00 million for reporting merger and acquisition transactions to the Commission along with reducing
the time limit for Commission's assessment of mergers and acquisitions from 210 days to 150 days. The scope of anti-
competitive agreements is broadened by replacing “exclusive supply agreement” with “exclusive dealing agreement” and now
covers the acquiring or the selling side of such agreements. The definition of cartel is expanded to include hubs and spoke
221arrangements involving trade associates, consultants, or intermediaries. Additionally, the Competition Act Amendment
provides the Commission the power to appoint a Director General for more effective enforcement, however the same shall
require prior approval of the Central Government.
Other Indian laws
In addition to the above, we are also governed by the provisions of the Companies Act and rules framed thereunder, fire-safety
related laws and rules framed thereunder, the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996, the Indian Contract Act, 1872, Sale of
Goods Act, 1930, Foreign Exchange and Management Act, 1999, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise Act, 2002 and other

2.2 Basis of measurement
These Restated Financial Information have been prepared in accordance with the Ind AS under the historical
cost convention and on an accrual basis, except for the following assets and liabilities which have been
measured at fair value:
a) Financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss;
b) Share based payments and
c) Defined benefit and other long term employee benefits
The material accounting policies used in preparation of these Restated Financial Information have been
discussed in the respective notes.
2.3 Use of estimates, assumptions and judgements
The preparation of Restated Financial Information in conformity with Ind AS requires management to make
estimates, assumptions and judgements that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the Restated
Financial Information and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period/ year reported.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates
are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised, and future periods are affected.

2.4 Current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- it expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
- it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
- it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to
settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
- it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
- the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result
in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or
cash equivalents. The Company’s normal operating cycle is twelve months.

2. Material accounting policies (Continued)
2.5 Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue from sale of products to the customers. Revenue is recognised when control
of goods and services is transferred to the customer upon the satisfaction of performance obligation under the
contract at a transaction price that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in
exchange for those goods or services. In relation to revenue from contracts with customers, amounts are
generally collected in advance.
(i) Revenue from sale of products
Revenue from the sale of products is recognised at a point in time when control of the product being sold is
transferred to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of
the products. The performance obligation is completed upon delivery of products to the customer.
Revenue is measured on the contract price net of any taxes collected from customers and variable consideration
on account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company. The transaction price is an amount of
consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods.
For contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly
probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. Therefore,
the amount of revenue recognised is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the historical
data. In these circumstances, a refund liability and a right to recover returned goods asset are recognised.
(ii) Assets and liabilities arising from right to return
The Company has contracts with customers which entitles them the unconditional right to return for a
specified period as per the policy.
Right to return assets
A right to return gives an entity a contractual right to recover the products from a customer (right to return
asset), if the customer exercises option to return the products and obtain a refund or replacement. The asset is
measured at the carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the products, including
any potential decreases in the value of the returned products.
The Company has presented its right to return under "Inventory".
The refund liability, to the extent that the Company offers it in the form of a cash refund, is presented under
“Other current financial liabilities”. The refund liability offered in the form of a replacement or exchange of
another good is presented under “Other current liabilities”.
(iii) Other Operating revenue (Sale of scrap and others)
Revenue from sale of scrap in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the transaction price.
Revenue from contracts for sale of services is recognised when services are rendered at a point in time, and
when the related costs are incurred.

(Amount in Rs Million except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
2. Material accounting policies (Continued)
2.5 Revenue recognition (Continued)
Variable Consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount (discounts and incentives), an estimate is made
for the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the
goods/services to the customer and such discounts and incentives are estimated at contract inception and
constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue
recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently
resolved. The rights of return give rise to variable consideration.
Customer loyalty points
The Company has a loyalty points programme, which allows customers to accumulate points that can be
redeemed for subsequent purchase. The loyalty points give rise to a separate performance obligation as they
provide a material right to the customer.
A portion of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points awarded to customers based on relative
stand-alone selling price and recognized as a contract liability until the points are redeemed. Revenue is
recognized upon redemption of points by the customer.
When estimating the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty points, the likelihood that the customer will
redeem the points is considered. Estimates of the points that will be redeemed on each reporting date are
updated and any adjustments to the contract liability balance is charged against revenue.
Contract balances:
Trade receivables
A trade receivable is recognized if an amount of consideration is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time
is required before payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets for initial
recognition and subsequent measurement of financial assets.
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer,
where that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. If the Company performs by
transferring goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due,
a contract asset is recognized for the earned consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to
impairment assessment.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognized if a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from the
customer before the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as
revenue when the Company performs under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services
to the customer).

2.6 Other Income
Interest income:
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method or time proportion method, based on rates
implicit in the transaction.
Dividend income on investments is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss when the Company’s
right to receive dividend is established.
Profit on sale of mutual funds and fair value impact on mark-to-market contracts are recognised on transaction
completion and or on reporting date as applicable.
2.7 Property, plant, and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognised as an asset if, and only if it is probable
that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can
be measured reliably.
Items of property, plant and equipment (including capital-work-in progress) are measured at cost, which
includes capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and
non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of
bringing the item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and
removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct
labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and
estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located (site
restoration costs).
The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost
of the respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are
accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
A property, plant and equipment is eliminated from the Restated Financial Information on disposal or when
no further benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property,
plant and equipment is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Transition to Ind AS
The cost of property, plant and equipment at April 1, 2021, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was
determined with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost) as at the
date of transition to Ind AS.

2.7 Property, plant, and equipment (Continued)
(iii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with
the expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other expenses
on existing property, plant, and equipment, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure are
charged to the restated statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
(iv) Capital advances and Capital work in progress
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet
date is classified as capital advances under other non-current assets. The costs of property, plant, and
equipment, which are not ready for their intended use on such date, are disclosed as capital work in progress.
The capital work-in-progress is carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses, and
attributable interest. No depreciation is charged on the capital work in progress until the asset is ready for the
intended use.
(v) Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of asset less its estimated residual value. Depreciation on property,
plant and equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives
estimated by the management. Based on an internal technical evaluation, management believes that useful life
as given below, which are different from those prescribed in Part C of schedule II of the Act, best represents
the period over which management expects to use these assets.
Asset category Useful lives estimated by the Useful lives as per Schedule II
management
Plant and machinery 8 Years 15 Years
Office equipment 5 Years 5 Years
Computers 3 Years 3 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years 10 Years
Vehicles 10 Years 10 Years
Lease hold improvements are depreciated over a period of 3 years or lease term whichever is lower.
Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased/sold during the period/ year. The residual
value, appropriateness of depreciation period and depreciation method is reviewed by the management each
financial year, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

2.8 Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. An intangible asset is recognised only if it
is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the
asset can be measured reliably. After initial recognition, intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortisation and impairment cost, if any.
Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets.
Computer software is amortised on a straight-line method over a period of three years. The amortisation period
and method used for amortisation are reviewed at each period end. All intangible assets are assessed for
impairment whenever there is an indication for impairment that an intangible asset may be impaired.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or
disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an intangible asset is recognised in the restated statement of profit
and loss.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the
specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill
and brands, is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss.
The cost of intangible assets as at April 1, 2021, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined
with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of
transition to Ind AS.
2.9 Measurement of Fair Values
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company require the measurement of fair values, for both
financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with
respect to the measurement of fair values. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs
and valuation adjustments. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on
the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or
liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as
possible. If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair
value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value
hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period
during which the change has occurred. (Refer note 38).

2.10 Impairment
Non- financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than
deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell
and the value-in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows
that are largely independent of those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined
for the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs. Value in use is based on the estimated future
cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflect current market
assessments of time value of money and the risk specific to the CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss and is measured by the amount
by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment
loss is reversed in the restated statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to
determine the recoverable amount. The carrying amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable
amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined
(net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in
prior periods.
Financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and
recognition of impairment loss. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss
allowance on trade receivables.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
• the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full; or
• the ageing is more than 12 months past due.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather,
it recognizes impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial
recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets i.e., investments, bank balances/deposits, etc., and
risk exposure, the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since
initial recognition. If credit risk has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for
impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased significantly, lifetime ECL is used.
If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss
allowance based on 12-month ECL.

2. Material accounting policies (Continued)
2.10 Impairment (Continued)
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the
contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e., all shortfalls), discounted at the
original EIR.
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets recorded at amortised
cost. At each reporting date the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-
impaired. A financial asset is "credit-impaired" when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the
estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired included the following observable data:
- significant financial difficulties of the borrower or issuer;
- the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not
consider otherwise; and
- the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial
recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that
is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative
information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, that
includes forward-looking information.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount
of the assets.
2.11 Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-
term employee benefits and are measured on undiscounted basis. These benefits include salaries and wages,
bonus etc., which are to be paid in exchange for the employee services and are recognised as an expense in the
restated statement of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan where the Company’s legal or constructive
obligation is limited to the amount that it contributes to a separate legal entity. The employee’s provident fund
scheme and employees state insurance scheme are defined contribution plans. The Company’s contribution
paid/payable under these schemes is recognised as an expense in the restated statement of profit and loss
during the period/ year in which the employee renders the related service. Prepaid contributions are
recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

2.11 Employee benefits (Continued)
(iii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company
has an obligation towards gratuity, which is a defined benefit retirement plan. The Company’s net obligation
in respect of gratuity is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in
the current and prior periods and discounting that amount.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected
unit credit method. The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan as liability in the
restated statement of assets and liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses through re-measurements of the net
defined benefit liability/ (asset) are recognized in other comprehensive income. In accordance with Ind AS, re-
measurement gains and losses on defined benefit plans recognised in OCI are not to be subsequently
reclassified to the restated statement of profit and loss.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company
recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the restated statement
of profit and loss:
- Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-
routine
settlements; and
- Net interest expense or income
(iv) Other long-term employee benefits- Compensated absences
Benefits under the Company’s compensated absences constitute other long-term employee benefits, recognised
as an expense in the restated statement of profit and loss for the period in which the employee has rendered
services. Estimated benefits on account of these benefits is provided for based on the actuarial valuation using
the projected unit credit method at the period end. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the
period in which they arise.
The Company presents the entire compensated absences balance as a current liability in the balance sheet since,
the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting
date.

2.11 Employee benefits (Continued)
(v) Share based payments
Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees
render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The Company measures
compensation cost relating to employee stock options plans using the fair valuation method in accordance with
Ind AS 102 “Share-Based Payment”.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using
the Black Scholes model and the cost is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in share based
payment reserve in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in
a graded vesting manner. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting
date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best
estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
In case of cancellation or settlement of grant of equity instruments during the vesting period (other than a grant
cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company shall account for the
cancellation or settlement as an acceleration of vesting and shall therefore recognise immediately the amount
that otherwise would have been recognised for services received over the remainder of the vesting period.
Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation or settlement of the grant shall be accounted for as the
repurchase of an equity interest, i.e., as a deduction from equity, except to the extent that the payment exceeds
the fair value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess shall be
recognised as an expense in the restated statement of profit and loss.
2.12 Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
(a) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial
liabilities are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability
is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction
costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing
component is initially measured at the transaction price.

2.12 Financial Instruments (Continued)
(b) Classification and subsequent measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
— Amortised cost;
— Fair value through other comprehensive income – debt instruments (FVOCI);
— Fair value through other comprehensive income – equity instruments; or (FVOCI)
— Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the
Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets
are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both the following conditions and is not
designated as at FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash
flows; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated
as FVTPL:
- the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual
cash flow and selling financial assets; and
- the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect
to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity investment).
This election is made on an investment-to-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This
includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a
financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at
FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial Assets: Business model assessment
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value
basis are measured at FVTPL.

2.12 Financial Instruments (Continued)
Financial assets: Assessments whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest.
For the purpose of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial
recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated
with the principal amount outstanding during the particular period of time and for the other basic lending
risks and costs.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company
considers the contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it
would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
- contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
- terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate features;
- prepayment and extension features; and
- terms that limit the Company claim to cash flows from specified assets.
(c) Subsequent measurement
Financial assets at FVTPL- Subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest
or dividend income are recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at amortised cost- Subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and
losses and impairment are recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Debt instruments at FVOCI – Subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under the effective interest
method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the restated statement of profit
and loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in
OCI are reclassified to the restated statement of profit and loss.
Equity instruments at FVOCI- Subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in
the restated statement of profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of
the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to the restated
statement of profit and loss.
(d) Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when:
- the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or
- it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which either:
• substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; or
• the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership
and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

(e) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and
only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either
to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(f) Recognition of Interest income or expense
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest rate.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts
over the expected life of the financial instrument to:
• The gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
• The amortised cost of the financial liability.
Financial liabilities
a) Recognition and initial measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
or amortised cost. All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at
FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its issue.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables,
lease liabilities and borrowings.
b) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as
at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest
expense, are recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on
derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
c) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially
different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or
modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.

2.13 Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or
contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
To assess where the Company has the right to control the use of identified assets, the Company assesses
whether the:
(i) the contract involves the use of identified assets,
(ii) whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use
of assets throughout the period of use and
(iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of assets.
Company as a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-
of-use ("ROU") asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability
adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs
incurred and an estimate of cost to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying
asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date
to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The right-of-use
assets is periodically assessed for impairment.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the
implicit rate of interest or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate.
Generally, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when
there is change in future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate, or if there is change in the
Company's estimate of amount expected to be payable under residual guaranteed value, or if the Company
changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that
have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the lease
payments associated with these leases as an expense over the lease term.

2.14 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing
of funds. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that
necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are
capitalized/inventoried as part of the cost of the respective asset. All other borrowing costs are charged to the
restated statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
2.15 Share issue expenses
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of shares are adjusted with the securities premium.
2.16 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories includes costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes
an appropriate share of production overheads.
The methods of determination of cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:
Raw material, packing material and traded goods - Moving average method.
Work-in-progress and finished goods - Moving average method.
Goods in transit - At purchase cost
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of
completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The comparison of cost and net realizable value
is made on item-by-item basis.
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related
finished goods in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs
necessary to make the sale. Raw materials, packing materials and other supplies held for use in production of
inventories are not written below cost except in cases where material prices have declined, and it is estimated
that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
Due allowance is estimated and provided by the management for slow moving / non-moving items of
inventories, wherever necessary, based on the past experience and such allowances are adjusted against the
carrying value of inventory.
Sale of raw materials
Sale of raw materials are considered as a recovery of cost of materials and adjusted against cost of materials
consumed.

2.17 Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent
that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive
income.
(i) Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and
any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable
or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty
related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting
date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised
amounts, and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets
and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, except when the deferred income
tax arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction and does not
give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits
and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the
deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be
utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred
tax asset to be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in
other comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying
transaction either in OCI or directly in equity.

2.18 Provisions, Contingent liabilities, and Contingent assets
Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Expected future operating
losses are not provided for.
Where the Company expects some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision will be reimbursed
by another party, the reimbursement is recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that
reimbursement will be received if the Company settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as a
separate asset.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e., contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting obligations
under a contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received, are recognized when it is probable that
an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result
of an obligating event, based on a reliable estimate of such obligation.
Contingent liability:
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed
only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or
the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. The Company does not recognize
a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the Restated Financial Information.
Contingent asset:
Contingent asset is not recognised in Restated Financial Information since this may result in the recognition of
income that may never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the
related asset is not a contingent asset and is recognized.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
2.19 Warranty
The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are sold. These estimates are
established using historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and
management estimates regarding possible future incidence based on corrective actions on product failures.
The timing of outflows will vary as and when warranty claim will arise, being typically between three months
to twenty years.

2.20 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average number of equity shares outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue,
bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders, share split and reverse share split (Consolidation of
shares) that will change the number of equity shares outstanding, without a corresponding change in
resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest
(net of any attributable taxes) other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity
shares, by the weighted average number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and
the weighted average number of equity shares which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive
potential equity shares.
Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the
net profit per share or increase the net loss per share. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be
converted as at the beginning of the period, unless they have been issued at a later date.
2.21 Foreign currency translations
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates
of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and
from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange
rates are recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the
recognition of the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose
fair value gain or loss is recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss,
respectively).
2.22 Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief
operating decision maker (CODM).
The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Company is engaged in manufacture and
sale of mattress, furniture and accessories and its principal geographical segment is India. The Company’s
operating businesses are organized and managed as a single operating segment. Consequently, the CODM
believes that there are no reportable segments as required under Ind AS 108 'Operating segments’

2.23 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and in hand, cheque at hand / remittance in transit and
short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant
risk of changes in value.
2.24 Statement of cash flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method as set out in Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS ) 7 on
Statement of Cash Flows, whereby profit/(loss) for the year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-
cash nature, any deferrals, or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income
or expenses associated with investing or financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing, and
financing activities of the Company are segregated.
2.25 Earnings before finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, exceptional items and tax
As permitted by the Guidance Note on Division II - Ind AS Schedule III to the Companies Act 2013, the
Company has elected to present earnings before finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, and tax
as a separate line item on the face of the restated statement of profit and loss. The Company measures earnings
before finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, and tax on the basis of profit/(loss). In its
measurement, the Company does not include finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, and
income tax expenses.
2.26 Recent accounting pronouncements
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), through the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment
Rules, 2025 and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2025, has issued
amendments to various Ind AS, which will be effective from April 01, 2025 and April 01, 2026. The Company
will evaluate the requirements and apply these amendments from the effective date.
A. Amendments effective from April 01, 2025 :
a) Ind AS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (Lack of Exchangeability)
These amendments aim to provide clearer guidance on assessing currency exchangeability and estimating
exchange rates when currencies are not readily exchangeable.
Impact: The Company currently does not deal in such currencies and hence there is no impact on the
financial statements. The Company will assess the implications of this
amendment for future periods.
b) Ind AS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Supplier
Finance Arrangements)
The amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements for supplier finance arrangements to
enhance transparency regarding their effect on liabilities and cash flows.
Impact: The Company does not have any supplier finance arrangements; hence, no material impact is
expected.

c) Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes (Pillar Two Model Rules)
Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules applicable immediately - The amendments
provide a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and require companies
to disclose that they have applied the relief. This relief is immediate and applies retrospectively. The
amendments also require companies to provide new disclosures to compensate for potential loss of
information resulting from the relief. Such disclosures are to be provided for annual reporting periods
beginning on or after April 01, 2025.
Impact: These amendments does not have impact on the Company’s financial statements.
d) Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements
The amendment relates to classification of liabilities as current or non -current and non-current liabilities
with covenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it removes the requirement of existence
of a right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date and instead requires that the
said right should exist on the reporting date and have substance. The amendment also introduces guidance
on classification of liabilities with covenants.
Impact: These amendments does not have impact on the Company’s financial statements.
e) Other Amendments (Ind AS 115, Ind AS 116)
Other amendments include:
Removed the conflict between Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 115 over the amount at which a trade receivable is
initially measured (Ind AS 115 and Ind AS 116).
Impact: These amendments does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
B. Amendments notified but not yet effective (effective from 01 April 2026)
Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements – This amendment removes the carve-outs in Ind AS 1 from
IAS 1 when there is a breach of a material covenant that transforms the liability from non-current to current.
However, the Company does not see any material impact on the financial statements.

Themanagementassessedthatfairvalueofcashandcashequivalentsandshort-termdeposits,tradereceivables,tradepayables,borrowings,leaseliabilitiesand
other current financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation techniques :
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e.,
derived from prices).
Level 3 - Inputs for the assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the period/ year.

The accounting ratios required under Clause 11 of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations derived from our
Restated Financial Information are given below:
Particulars As at and for the
Six months period ended Year ended March Year ended March Year ended March
September 30, 2025 31, 2025 31, 2024 31, 2023
Basic earnings per share (in ₹)(1) 1.15 (1.15) (0.50) (5.62)
Diluted earnings per share (in ₹)(2) 1.14 (1.15) (0.50) (5.62)
PAT(3) (in ₹ million) 355.74 (350.04) (150.53) (1,456.83)
Return on Net Worth (%)(4) 6.38% (6.72)% (2.77)% (28.84)%
Net Asset Value Per Equity Share 17.90 16.96 17.92 19.48
(in ₹)(5)
EBITDA (in ₹ million)(6) 1,031.94 908.30 658.49 (857.52)
Notes:
(1) Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the period/year attributable to equity Shareholders by the weighted average number
of Equity Shares outstanding during the period/year.
(2) Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit/(loss) for the period/year attributable to equity Shareholders by the weighted average number
of Equity Shares outstanding during the period/year adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential Equity Shares.
(3) PAT is the profit/(loss) for the period/year.
(4) Return on Net Worth (%) is computed as profit/(loss) for the period/year divided by Net Worth as at the end of the period/year. As per Regulation 2(1)(hh)
of SEBI ICDR Regulations, as amended, Net Worth means the aggregate value of the paid-up share capital and all reserves created out of the profits and
securities premium account and debit or credit balance of profit and loss account, after deducting the aggregate value of the accumulated losses, deferred
expenditure and miscellaneous expenditure not written off, as per the restated statement of assets and liabilities, but does not include reserves created
out of revaluation of assets, write-back of depreciation and amalgamation. Further, Net Worth has been computed as a sum of equity share capital,
instruments entirely equity in nature and other equity as of the end of the period/year.
(5) Net Asset Value per equity share represents Net Worth at the end of the period/ year divided by number of Equity shares and employee stock options
outstanding at the end of the period/year.
(6) EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) for the period/year plus tax expense plus finance costs plus depreciation and amortisation.

Audited financial statements of our Company
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the audited financial statements of our Company, as at and for the Financial
Years 2025, 2024 and 2023 and the reports thereon (collectively, the “Audited Financial Statements”) are available on our
website at www.wakefit.co/investor-relations.

Regulations. The Audited Financial Statements do not constitute, (i) a part of this Red Herring Prospectus; or (ii) a prospectus,
a statement in lieu of a prospectus, an offering circular, an offering memorandum, an advertisement, an offer or a solicitation
of any offer or an offer document or recommendation or solicitation to purchase or sell any securities under the Companies Act,
the SEBI ICDR Regulations, or any other applicable law in India or elsewhere. The Audited Financial Statements should not
be considered as part of information that any investor should consider when subscribing for or purchasing any securities of our
Company and should not be relied upon or used as a basis for any investment decision.
Neither our Company nor any of its advisors, the BRLMs, the Selling Shareholders or any of their respective employees,
directors, affiliates, agents, trustees or representatives accept any liability whatsoever for any loss, direct or indirect, arising

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This section includes certain Non-GAAP financial measures and other statistical information relating to our operations and
financial performance (together, “Non-GAAP Measures” and each a “Non-GAAP Measure”), as presented below. These
Non-GAAP Measures are not required by or presented in accordance with Ind AS.
For details of reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures used in this Red Herring Prospectus, see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures” on page 351.
Further, these Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS and should
not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/(loss) for the years/ period or any other measure
of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows generated by
operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS. In addition, these Non-GAAP Measures are not
standardized terms, hence a direct comparison of these Non-GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other
companies may calculate these Non-GAAP Measures differently from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Although such Non-GAAP Measures are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with applicable accounting
330standards, our Company’s management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating us as they are widely used
measures to evaluate a company’s operating performance.

OVERVIEW
We offer a wide range of products, including mattresses, furniture, and furnishings, through our omnichannel presence, ensuring
a seamless customer experience across all touchpoints, both online and offline. We are a full-stack vertically integrated
company, enabling us to control every aspect of our operations, from conceptualizing, designing and engineering our products
to manufacturing, distributing and providing customer experience and engagement. For details in relation to our business, see
“Our Business” on page 176.
SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by a number of important factors including:
Product mix
We offer a wide range of products, including mattresses, furniture, and furnishings. Our results of operations are significantly
influenced by the product mix. Our revenue from the sale of mattresses has consistently accounted for a significant portion of
our revenue from operations, while the growth in the sale of our furniture and furnishings product categories reflects our
successful diversification strategy. The table below sets forth details of our revenues from the sale of mattresses, furniture and
furnishings for the period/ years indicated:
Product Six months period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Category September 30, 2025
Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Amount Percentage Amount Percentage

333Several factors could affect the sales of our products, including changes in consumer preferences, market competition, economic
conditions and seasonality. Changes in consumer preferences and demand for our products could significantly impact our sales.
Our success depends to a significant extent on customer confidence and spending, which is influenced by general economic
condition and discretionary income levels. Many factors affect the level of customer confidence and spending in the home and
furnishing products, including recession, inflation, political uncertainty, availability of consumer credit, taxation and
unemployment. Our performance may decline during recessionary periods or in other periods where one or more
macroeconomic factors, or potential macro-economic factors, negatively affect the level of customer confidence and spending.
Growth of retail is also linked to consumer needs, attitudes and behavior. Developments in the economy and the rate of
urbanisation have in the past affected the supply and demand as well as pricing trends in home and furnishings market.
To compete successfully in our business, we must be able to identify and respond to changing consumer demands and
preferences. If we fail to anticipate and meet industry trends and our products do not meet customers’ preferences, our results
of operations will be adversely affected. Increased competition could result in aggressive pricing strategies, which could lead
to reduced market share, and lower profit margins. Additionally, seasonal variations can cause fluctuations in sales, with certain
products experiencing higher demand during specific times of the year.
Also, see “Risk Factors – We derive a significant portion of our revenue from our mattress product category. Our revenue from
the sale of mattresses accounted for 60.65%, 61.35%, 57.54% and 63.50%, of our revenue from operations in six months period
ended September 30, 2025 and Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any shifts in consumer preferences, any disruption
in the supply chain, or heightened competition could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.” on page 34.
Ability to maintain brand image
We sell our products under the “Wakefit” brand. Our ability to develop and maintain the brand and consumer goodwill are
dependent on public perception and recognition of product quality. We intend to enhance our brand salience and awareness
through strategic initiatives. Our customer outreach strategy aims to foster lasting relationships and strengthen brand loyalty
through a mix of community engagement, marketing, celebrity collaboration, and cultural integration. For further details, see
“Our Business – Strengths – Continue to develop, invest and increase brand salience and brand awareness” on page 191. We
will focus on maintaining reasonable costs for our marketing efforts and that are relative to the value we expect to derive from
our customers. The table below sets forth our advertisement and business promotion expenses as a percentage of our revenue
from operations in the period/ years indicated:
Particulars Six months period Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023

Continued growth of our own channels
We are present across both online and offline customer touch points through our omnichannel network. Our strong marketing
initiatives ensure that customers can discover our brand through various touchpoints such as search engines, social media, OTT
platforms, marketplaces, and physical retail stores. Once they find us, they have multiple options to engage with our brand,
including our website, COCO – Regular Stores, MBOs and e-commerce marketplaces. A significant portion of our revenue
from operations is derived from the sale of our products through our own channels (i.e., our website and COCO – Regular
Stores). The table below sets forth details of revenue from our own channels for the period/years indicated:
Particulars Six months period ended Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
September 30, 2025
Revenue from our own channels (₹ million) 4,699.28 7,255.68 5,750.60 4,672.55
Revenue from our own channels as a percentage of revenue 64.91% 56.97% 58.30% 57.50%
from operations
The continued growth in the sale of our products from our own channels is a pivotal factor influencing our results of operations.
This growth is essential for enhancing our profitability, as products sold through these channels typically command higher
margins due to the elimination of third-party costs. If this growth continues, we anticipate higher revenues, a stronger market
position, and improved customer insights. Conversely, if growth from our own channels slows or declines, we may face lower
revenue growth, increased competition, and challenges in engaging customers directly, potentially eroding brand trust and
loyalty.
334Our COCO – Regular Stores also play a crucial role in our success. These outlets provide a branded environment with the
Company controlling the narrative where customers can engage with our trained staff members and experience our products
firsthand, fostering a deeper connection with our brand. These COCO – Regular Stores help diversify our sales, enhancing our
overall market penetration. By maintaining a presence in both online and offline channels, we ensure that customers have
multiple touchpoints to discover and engage with our brand, ultimately supporting our long-term growth and profitability.
Further, our strategy includes opening of additional COCO – Regular Stores and opening of COCO – Jumbo Stores. For further
information, see “Objects of the Offer” and “Our Business - Strategic expansion of COCO – Regular Stores and enhance sales
on our website” on page 119 and 189. An inability to appropriately identify suitable locations, or set-up the most appropriate
store-format at a particular location, or to negotiate commercially reasonable lease terms, may increase our payback periods,
result in store closures, and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Further, as we expand our network
of COCO – Regular Stores and introduce COCO – Jumbo Stores, we anticipate an increase in rent expenses. If we are unable
to generate adequate revenues from these new stores, the increased rent expenses could strain our financials, potentially leading
to lower profit margins or even losses.
Availability and cost of raw materials consumed
A significant portion of our cost structure is attributed to the cost of materials consumed. Our ability to remain competitive and
profitable depends on our ability to source and maintain a stable and sufficient supply of raw materials at cost effective prices.
Our primary raw materials include chemicals, natural and processed wood, fabrics, glue, and metals. The table below provides
our cost of materials consumed, as a percentage of our total expenses, in relevant period/ years:
Particulars September 30, 2025 Fiscal 2025 Fiscal 2024 Fiscal 2023
Cost of materials consumed 3,382.33 5,817.61 4,639.71 4,717.11
(in ₹ million)
Cost of materials consumed 47.93% 43.40% 44.94% 48.85%
as a percentage of Total
expenses (%)
We typically procure such materials through purchase orders and do not enter into any long-term agreements with our suppliers.
If we were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage of raw materials for our products in the required volumes and at
appropriate quality and reliability levels from any of our suppliers, and we are unable to procure the raw materials from other
sources at cost effective prices our sales, profit margins and customer relations would be adversely affected. Further, we are
exposed to fluctuations in availability and prices of our raw materials and we may not be able to effectively pass on all increases
in cost of raw materials to our customers, which may affect our margins and results of operations. The price of our raw materials
may fluctuate due to several reasons including market fluctuations, currency fluctuations, production and transportation costs
and changes in domestic and international trade policies. Any inability on our part to procure sufficient quantities of raw
materials and on commercially acceptable terms, could lead to a change in our manufacturing and sales volumes.
Competition
The home and furnishings industry in India is competitive, fragmented and largely unorganised. For further information, see
“Risk Factors – The home and furnishings industry is competitive and our inability to compete effectively may adversely affect
our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows” and “Our Business – Competition” on pages 45 and
211, respectively. Our products compete with local retailers, non-branded products and products of other established brands. In
the future, some of our competitors may develop alliances to compete against us, acquire greater resources, market presence
and geographic reach, as well as develop products with better brand recognition than ours. Some of our competitors may be
able to procure raw materials or finished products 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 sell their products at more
competitive prices.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The material accounting policies applied by our Company in the preparation of the Restated Financial Information are listed
below.
Current and non-current classification
All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
An asset is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
336- it expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle;
- it holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading;
- it expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- the asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability
for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current assets.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
- it is expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle;
- it holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
- the liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- it does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the
reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue
of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
The operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realisation in cash or cash equivalents.
The Company’s normal operating cycle is twelve months.
Revenue recognition
The Company generates revenue from sale of products to the customers. Revenue is recognised when control of goods and
services is transferred to the customer upon the satisfaction of performance obligation under the contract at a transaction price
that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In relation
to revenue from contracts with customers, amounts are generally collected in advance.
(i) Revenue from sale of products
Revenue from the sale of products is recognised at a point in time when control of the product being sold is transferred
to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. The
performance obligation is completed upon delivery of products to the customer.
Revenue is measured on the contract price net of any taxes collected from customers and variable consideration on
account of various discounts and schemes offered by the Company. The transaction price is an amount of consideration
to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods.
For contracts that permit the customer to return an item, revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly probable
that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. Therefore, the amount of
revenue recognised is adjusted for expected returns, which are estimated based on the historical data. In these
circumstances, a refund liability and a right to recover returned goods asset are recognised.
The refund liability, to the extent that the Company offers it in the form of a cash refund, is presented under “Other
current financial liabilities”. The refund liability offered in the form of a replacement or exchange of another good is
presented under “Other current liabilities”.
(ii) Assets and liabilities arising from right to return
The Company has contracts with customers which entitles them the unconditional right to return for a specified period
as per the policy.
337Right to return assets
A right of return gives an entity a contractual right to recover the products from a customer (right to return asset), if the
customer exercises its option to return the products and obtain a refund. The asset is measured at the carrying amount of the
inventory, less any expected costs to recover the products, including any potential decreases in the value of the returned
products.
The Company has presented its right to return under "Inventory".
(iii) Other Operating revenue (Sale of scrap and others)
Revenue from sale of scrap in the course of ordinary activities is measured at the transaction price.
Revenue from contracts for sale of services is recognised when services are rendered at a point in time, and when the
related costs are incurred.
Variable Consideration
If the consideration in a contract includes a variable amount (discounts and incentives), an estimate is made for the amount of
consideration to which the Company will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods/services to the customer and such
discounts and incentives are estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue
reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable
consideration is subsequently resolved. The rights of return give rise to variable consideration.
Customer loyalty points
The Company has a loyalty points programme, which allows customers to accumulate points that can be redeemed for
subsequent purchase. The loyalty points give rise to a separate performance obligation as they provide a material right to the
customer.
A portion of the transaction price is allocated to the loyalty points awarded to customers based on relative stand-alone selling
price and recognized as a contract liability until the points are redeemed. Revenue is recognized upon redemption of points by
the customer.
When estimating the stand-alone selling price of the loyalty points, the likelihood that the customer will redeem the points is
considered. Estimates of the points that will be redeemed on each reporting date are updated and any adjustments to the contract
liability balance is charged against revenue.
Contract balances:
Trade receivables
A trade receivable is recognized if an amount of consideration is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before
payment of the consideration is due). Refer to accounting policies of financial assets for initial recognition and subsequent
measurement of financial assets.
Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer, where that right is
conditioned on something other than the passage of time. If the Company performs by transferring goods or services to a
customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, a contract asset is recognized for the earned
consideration that is conditional. Contract assets are subject to impairment assessment.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is recognized if a payment is received, or a payment is due (whichever is earlier) from the customer before
the Company transfers the related goods or services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs
under the contract (i.e., transfers control of the related goods or services to the customer).
Other Income
Interest income:
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method or time proportion method, based on rates implicit in the
transaction.
338Dividend income on investments is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss when the Company’s right to receive
dividend is established.
Profit on sale of mutual funds and fair value impact on mark-to-market contracts are recognised on transaction completion and
or on reporting date as applicable.
Property, plant, and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be recognised as an asset if, and only if it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured
reliably.
Items of property, plant and equipment (including capital-work-in progress) are measured at cost, which includes
capitalised borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including import duties and non-
refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, any directly attributable cost of bringing the
item to its working condition for its intended use and estimated costs of dismantling and removing the item and
restoring the site on which it is located.
The cost of a self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment comprises the cost of materials and direct labour,
any other costs directly attributable to bringing the item to working condition for its intended use, and estimated costs
of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located (site restoration costs).
The present value of the expected cost for the decommissioning of an asset after its use is included in the cost of the
respective asset if the recognition criteria for a provision are met.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for
as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
A property, plant and equipment is eliminated from the restated financial information on disposal or when no further
benefit is expected from its use and disposal. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment
is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss.
(ii) Transition to Ind AS
The cost of property, plant and equipment at April 1, 2021, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined
with reference to its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost) as at the date of transition to
Ind AS.
(iii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the
expenditure will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other expenses on existing
property, plant, and equipment, including day-to-day repair and maintenance expenditure are charged to the restated
statement of profit and loss for the period during which such expenses are incurred.
(iv) Capital advances and Capital work in progress
Advances paid towards the acquisition of property, plant and equipment outstanding at each balance sheet date is
classified as capital advances under other non-current assets. The costs of property, plant, and equipment, which are
not ready for their intended use on such date, are disclosed as capital work in progress. The capital work-in-progress
is carried at cost, comprising direct cost, related incidental expenses, and attributable interest. No depreciation is
charged on the capital work in progress until the asset is ready for the intended use.
(v) Depreciation
Depreciable amount for assets is the cost of asset less its estimated residual value. Depreciation on property, plant and
equipment is calculated on a straight-line basis using the rates arrived at based on the useful lives estimated by the
management. Based on an internal technical evaluation, management believes that useful life as given below, which
are different from those prescribed in Part C of schedule II of the Act, best represents the period over which
management expects to use these assets.
339Asset category Useful lives estimated by the management Useful lives as per Schedule II
Plant and machinery 8 Years 15 Years
Office equipment 5 Years 5 Years
Computers 3 Years 3 Years
Furniture and Fixtures 10 Years 10 Years
Vehicles 10 Years 10 Years
Lease hold improvements are depreciated over a period of 3 years or lease term whichever is lower.
Depreciation is calculated on a pro-rata basis for assets purchased/sold during the period/ year. The residual value,
appropriateness of depreciation period and depreciation method is reviewed by the management each financial year,
with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.
Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured initially at cost. An intangible asset is recognised only if it is probable that
future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment cost, if any.
Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the intangible assets. Computer software
is amortized on a straight-line method over a period of three years. The amortisation period and method used for amortisation
are reviewed at each period end. All intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication for impairment
that an intangible asset may be impaired.
An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Any
gain or loss on disposal of an intangible asset is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to
which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in the
restated statement of profit and loss.
The cost of intangible assets as at April 1, 2021, the Company’s date of transition to Ind AS, was determined with reference to
its carrying value recognised as per the previous GAAP (deemed cost), as at the date of transition to Ind AS.
Measurement of Fair Values
Certain accounting policies and disclosures of the Company require the measurement of fair values, for both financial and non-
financial assets and liabilities. The Company has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair
values. The Company regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. Fair values are categorized
into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
• Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
(i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
• Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company uses observable market data as far as possible. If the
inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair
value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is
significant to the entire measurement.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which
the change has occurred. (Refer note 38).
Impairment
Non- financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than deferred tax assets) to
determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is
estimated.
340For the purpose of impairment testing, the recoverable amount (i.e., the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value-
in-use) is determined on an individual asset basis unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of
those from other assets. In such cases, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit (“CGU”) to which the
asset belongs. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount
rate that reflect current market assessments of time value of money and the risk specific to the CGU.
An impairment loss is recognised in the restated statement of profit and loss and is measured by the amount by which the
carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated recoverable amount of the asset. An impairment loss is reversed in the restated
statement of profit and loss if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. The carrying
amount of the asset is increased to its revised recoverable amount, provided that this amount does not exceed the carrying
amount that would have been determined (net of any accumulated amortisation or depreciation) had no impairment loss been
recognized for the asset in prior periods/ years.
Financial assets
In accordance with Ind AS 109, the Company applies expected credit loss (ECL) model for measurement and recognition of
impairment loss. The Company follows 'simplified approach' for recognition of impairment loss allowance on trade receivables.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
• the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full; or
• the ageing is more than 12 months past due.
The application of simplified approach does not require the Company to track changes in credit risk. Rather, it recognizes
impairment loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date, right from its initial recognition.
For recognition of impairment loss on other financial assets i.e., investments, bank balances/deposits, etc., and risk exposure,
the Company determines whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk since initial recognition. If credit risk
has not increased significantly, 12-month ECL is used to provide for impairment loss. However, if credit risk has increased
significantly, lifetime ECL is used.
If in subsequent period, credit quality of the instrument improves such that there is no longer a significant increase in credit risk
since initial recognition, then the Company reverts to recognizing impairment loss allowance based on 12-month ECL.
ECL is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to the Company in accordance with the contract and all
the cash flows that the Company expects to receive (i.e., all shortfalls), discounted at the original EIR.
The Company recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses on financial assets recorded at amortised cost. At each
reporting date the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is
"credit-impaired" when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial
asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired included the following observable data:
• significant financial difficulties of the borrower or issuer;
• the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise; and
• the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when
estimating ECLs, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue
cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical
experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward-looking information.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the balance sheet
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
341Employee benefits
(i) Short term employee benefits
Employee benefits payable wholly within twelve months of receiving employee services are classified as short-term
employee benefits and are measured on undiscounted basis. These benefits include salaries and wages, bonus etc.,
which are to be paid in exchange for the employee services and are recognised as an expense in the restated statement
of profit and loss in the period in which the employee renders the related service.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan where the Company’s legal or constructive obligation
is limited to the amount that it contributes to a separate legal entity. The employee’s provident fund scheme and
employees state insurance scheme are defined contribution plans. The Company’s contribution paid/payable under
these schemes is recognised as an expense in the restated statement of profit and loss during the period/year in which
the employee renders the related service. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash
refund or a reduction in future payments is available.
(iii) Defined benefit plans
A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Company has an
obligation towards gratuity, which is a defined benefit retirement plan. The Company’s net obligation in respect of
gratuity is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior
periods and discounting that amount.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit
credit method. The Company recognizes the net obligation of a defined benefit plan as liability in the restated statement
of assets and liabilities. Actuarial gains and losses through re-measurements of the net defined benefit liability/ (asset)
are recognized in other comprehensive income. In accordance with Ind AS, re-measurement gains and losses on
defined benefit plans recognised in OCI are not to be subsequently reclassified to the restated statement of profit and
loss.
Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset. The Company
recognises the following changes in the net defined benefit obligation as an expense in the restated statement of profit
and loss:
• Service costs comprising current service costs, past-service costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-
routine settlements; and
• Net interest expense or income
(iv) Other long-term employee benefits- Compensated absences
Benefits under the Company’s compensated absences constitute other long-term employee benefits, recognised as an
expense in the restated statement of profit and loss for the period in which the employee has rendered services.
Estimated benefits on account of these benefits is provided for based on the actuarial valuation using the projected unit
credit method at the period/year end. Remeasurements are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
The Company presents the entire compensated absences balance as a current liability in the balance sheet since, the
Company does not have an unconditional right to defer its settlement for twelve months after the reporting date.
(v) Share based payments
Employees of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render
services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The Company measures compensation
cost relating to employee stock options plans using the fair valuation method in accordance with Ind AS 102 “Share-
Based Payment”.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using the
Black Scholes model and the cost is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in share based payment reserve
in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled in a graded vesting manner.
The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects
the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments
that will ultimately vest.
342In case of cancellation or settlement of grant of equity instruments during the vesting period (other than a grant
cancelled by forfeiture when the vesting conditions are not satisfied), the Company shall account for the cancellation
or settlement as an acceleration of vesting and shall therefore recognise immediately the amount that otherwise would
have been recognised for services received over the remainder of the vesting period.
Any payment made to the employee on the cancellation or settlement of the grant shall be accounted for as the
repurchase of an equity interest, i.e., as a deduction from equity, except to the extent that the payment exceeds the fair
value of the equity instruments granted, measured at the repurchase date. Any such excess shall be recognised as an
expense in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument
of another entity.
(a) Recognition and initial measurement
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities
are initially recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is
initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs
that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is
initially measured at the transaction price.
(b) Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at:
• Amortised cost;
• Fair value through other comprehensive income – debt instruments (FVOCI);
• Fair value through other comprehensive income – equity instruments; or (FVOCI)
• Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition, except if and in the period the Company
changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on
the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both the following conditions and is not designated as at
FVTPL:
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments
of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL:
• the asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual
cash flow and selling financial assets; and
• the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on a specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present
subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI (designated as FVOCI- equity investment). This election is
made on an investment-to-investment basis.
343All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This
includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset
that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL, if doing so
eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
Financial Assets: Business model assessment
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are
measured at FVTPL.
Financial assets: Assessments whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest.
For the purpose of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition.
‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal
amount outstanding during the particular period of time and for the other basic lending risks and costs.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers
the contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this
condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:
• contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;
• terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate features;
• prepayment and extension features; and
• terms that limit the Company claim to cash flows from specified assets.
(c) Subsequent measurement
Financial assets at FVTPL- Subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or
dividend income are recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost- Subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The
amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and
losses and impairment are recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is
recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Debt instruments at FVOCI – Subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income under the effective interest
method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.
Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are
reclassified to the restated statement of profit and loss.
Equity instruments at FVOCI- Subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in the
restated statement of profit and loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the
investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in OCI and are not reclassified to the restated statement of profit
and loss.
(d) Derecognition
The Company derecognises a financial asset when:
• the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire; or
• it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which either:
• substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred; or
• the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership it does not retain
control of the financial asset.
344(e) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only
when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them
on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(f) Recognition of Interest income or expense
Interest income or expense is recognised using the effective interest rate.
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash payments or receipts over the
expected life of the financial instrument to:
• The gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or
• The amortized cost of the financial liability.
Financial instruments – Financial liabilities
a) Recognition and initial measurement
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or
amortized cost. All financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus or minus, for an item not at FVTPL,
transaction costs that are directly attributable to its issue.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs. The Company’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, lease liabilities and
borrowings.
b) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at
FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial
liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised
in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest
expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is
also recognised in profit or loss.
c) Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When
an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms
of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is
recognized in the restated statement of profit and loss.
d) Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount presented in the balance sheet when, and only
when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them
on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Leases
At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease
if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
To assess where the Company has the right to control the use of identified assets, the Company assesses whether the:
(i) the contract involves the use of identified assets,
(ii) whether the Company has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of assets
throughout the period of use and
345(iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of assets.
Company as a lessee
The Company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use ("ROU")
asset is initially measured at cost , which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments
made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of cost to dismantle and remove
the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight line method from the commencement date to the earlier of
the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The right-of-use assets is periodically assessed
for impairment.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the implicit rate of
interest or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses
the incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is change in
future lease payments arising from a change in index or rate, or if there is change in the Company's estimate of amount expected
to be payable under residual guaranteed value, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase,
extension or termination option.
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term
of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases
as an expense over the lease term.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that the Company incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial
period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized/inventoried as part of the cost of the respective asset. All
other borrowing costs are charged to the restated statement of profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Share issue expenses
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of shares are adjusted with the securities premium.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
The cost of inventories includes costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to
their present location and condition. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes an appropriate share of production
overheads.
The methods of determination of cost of various categories of inventories are as follows:
Raw material, packing material and traded goods - Moving average method.
Work-in-progress and finished goods - Moving average method.
Goods in transit - At purchase cost
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and
the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is made on item-by-item basis.
The net realisable value of work-in-progress is determined with reference to the selling prices of related finished goods in the
ordinary course of business, less estimated cost of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Raw materials,
packing materials and other supplies held for use in production of inventories are not written below cost except in cases where
material prices have declined, and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed their net realisable value.
Due allowance is estimated and provided by the management for slow moving / non-moving items of inventories, wherever
necessary, based on the past experience and such allowances are adjusted against the carrying value of inventory.
346Sale of raw materials
Sale of raw materials are considered as a recovery of cost of materials and adjusted against cost of materials consumed.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates
to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
(i) Current Tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period/ year and
any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous periods/ years. The amount of current tax payable
or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to
income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts,
and it is intended to realise the asset and settle the liability on a net basis or simultaneously.
(ii) Deferred Tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and
liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, except when the deferred income tax arises from
the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss at the time of the transaction and does not give rise to equal taxable and
deductible temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and
unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible
temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is
no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be
utilized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset
is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted
at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity.
Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss (either in other
comprehensive income or in equity). Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction
either in OCI or directly in equity.
Provisions, Contingent liabilities, and Contingent assets
Provisions:
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Expected future operating losses are not provided for.
Where the Company expects some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision will be reimbursed by another party,
the reimbursement is recognised when, and only when, it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the Company
settles the obligation. The reimbursement is treated as a separate asset.
Provisions for onerous contracts, i.e., contracts where the expected unavoidable costs of meeting obligations under a contract
exceed the economic benefits expected to be received, are recognized when it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle a present obligation as a result of an obligating event, based on a reliable
estimate of such obligation.
347Contingent liability:
Contingent liability is a possible obligation arising from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Company or a present
obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient
reliability. The Company does not recognize a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the restated financial
information.
Contingent asset:
Contingent asset is not recognised in restated financial information since this may result in the recognition of income that may
never be realised. However, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset
and is recognized.
Provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date.
Warranty
The estimated liability for product warranties is recorded when products are sold. These estimates are established using
historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and management estimates regarding
possible future incidence based on corrective actions on product failures. The timing of outflows will vary as and when warranty
claim will arise, being typically between three months to twenty years.
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity shareholders by the
weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of equity shares
outstanding during the period is adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders,
share split and reverse share split (Consolidation of shares) that will change the number of equity shares outstanding, without a
corresponding change in resources.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing the profit/(loss) after tax as adjusted for dividend, interest (net of any
attributable taxes) other charges to expense or income relating to the dilutive potential equity shares, by the weighted average
number of equity shares considered for deriving basic earnings per share and the weighted average number of equity shares
which could have been issued on the conversion of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Potential equity shares are deemed to be dilutive only if their conversion to equity shares would decrease the net profit per share
or increase the net loss per share. Potential dilutive equity shares are deemed to be converted as at the beginning of the period,
unless they have been issued at a later date.
Foreign currency translations
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at period/ year end exchange rates are recognised in the restated statement of
profit and loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates
at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined.
The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of
the gain or loss on the change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is
recognised in OCI or profit or loss are also recognised in OCI or profit or loss, respectively).
Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision
maker (CODM).
The Company's CODM is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Company is engaged in manufacture and sale of mattress,
furniture and accessories and its principal geographical segment is India. The Company’s operating businesses are organized
and managed as a single operating segment. Consequently, the CODM believes that there are no reportable segments as required
under Ind AS 108 'Operating segments’
348Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at banks and in hand, cheque at hand / remittance in transit and short-term deposits
with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Statement of cash flows
Cash flows are reported using the indirect method as set out in Indian Accounting Standard (Ind AS ) 7 on Statement of Cash
Flows, whereby profit/(loss) for the period/year is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, any deferrals, or
accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or payments and item of income or expenses associated with investing or
financing cash flows. The cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company are segregated.
Earnings before finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, exceptional items and tax
As permitted by the Guidance Note on Division II - Ind AS Schedule III to the Companies Act 2013, the Company has elected to
present earnings before finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, and tax as a separate line item on the face of the restated
statement of profit and loss. The Company measures earnings before finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense, and tax
on the basis of profit/(loss). In its measurement, the Company does not include finance costs, depreciation and amortisation expense,
and income tax expenses.
Recent accounting pronouncements
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), through the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Amendment Rules, 2025
and Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Second Amendment Rules, 2025, has issued amendments to various Ind AS,
which will be effective from April 1, 2025 and April 1, 2026. The Company will evaluate the requirements and apply these
amendments from the effective date.
A. Amendments effective from April 1, 2025:
(a) Ind AS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (Lack of Exchangeability).
These amendments aim to provide clearer guidance on assessing currency exchangeability and estimating exchange
rates when currencies are not readily exchangeable.
Impact: The Company currently does not deal in such currencies and hence there is no impact on the financial
statements. The Company will assess the implications of this amendment for future periods.
(b) Ind AS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows and Ind AS 107 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Supplier Finance
Arrangements).
The amendments introduce additional disclosure requirements for supplier finance arrangements to enhance
transparency regarding their effect on liabilities and cash flows.
Impact: The Company does not have any supplier finance arrangements; hence, no material impact is expected.
(c) Ind AS 12 – Income Taxes (Pillar Two Model Rules) Ind AS 12, International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules
applicable immediately
The amendments provide a temporary mandatory relief from deferred tax accounting for top-up tax and require
companies to disclose that they have applied the relief. This relief is immediate and applies retrospectively. The
amendments also require companies to provide new disclosures to compensate for potential loss of information
resulting from the relief. Such disclosures are to be provided for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April
01, 2025.
Impact: These amendments does not have impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(d) Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements.
The amendment relates to classification of liabilities as current or non -current and non-current liabilities with
covenants. In the context of classifying a liability as current, it removes the requirement of existence of a right to
defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date and instead requires that the said right should exist on
the reporting date and have substance. The amendment also introduces guidance on classification of liabilities with
covenants.
349Impact: These amendments does not have impact on the Company’s financial statements.
(e) Other Amendments (Ind AS 115, Ind AS 116)
Other amendments include: Removed the conflict between Ind AS 109 and Ind AS 115 over the amount at which a
trade receivable is initially measured (Ind AS 115 and Ind AS 116).
Impact: These amendments does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
B. Amendments notified but not yet effective (effective from April 1, 2026)
Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements – This amendment removes the carve-outs in Ind AS 1 from IAS 1 when
there is a breach of a material covenant that transforms the liability from non-current to current. However, the Company
does not see any material impact on the financial statements.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
EBIT, EBITDA, EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Capital Employed and Return on Capital
Employed, PAT Margin, Net Worth and Return on Net Worth (%), Net Asset Value per Equity Share, and Net working capital
days (“Non-GAAP Measures”) presented in this Red Herring Prospectus is a supplemental measure of our performance and
liquidity that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. Further, EBITDA,
EBITDA Margin and Return on Equity is not a measurement of our financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian
GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/(loss)
for the years or any other measure of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity,
profitability or cash flows generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian
GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. In addition, Non-GAAP Measures are not standardised terms, hence a direct comparison of Non-
GAAP Measures between companies may not be possible. Other companies may calculate the Non-GAAP Measure differently
from us, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Although Non-GAAP Measures is not a measure of performance
calculated in accordance with applicable accounting standards, our Company’s management believes that it is useful to an
investor in evaluating us because it is a widely used measure to evaluate a company’s operating performance.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our Company is exposed to various financial risks majorly credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk and market risk.
Credit Risk
(i) Trade receivables
Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract,
leading to a financial loss. Our credit risk with regards to receivables is reduced by our business model which allows
it to have immediate cash collection. We predominantly deal with market places and online payment partners and these
are short term and carry very low credit risk at the reporting date. Our Company does not have significant risk exposure
to any single counter party.
We review trade receivables on periodic basis and takes necessary mitigations, wherever required. We recognise loss
allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables measured at amortised cost.
(ii) Financial instruments and cash deposits
Credit risk from balances with banks is managed by our treasury team. Investments of surplus funds are made primarily
in mutual fund units and fixed deposits. Basis the assessment, we have not identified any expected credit loss on the
financial instruments and cash deposits. With respect to other financial assets including security deposits and advance
to employees, we have not identified any default in recovery of amounts basis the assessment of credit risk. Hence,
we have no significant class of financial assets that is past due but not impaired.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of being unable to meet the payment obligations resulting from financial liabilities which may arise
from unavailability of funds. Our financial planning has ensured, as far as possible, that there is sufficient liquidity to meet the
liabilities whenever due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage
to our reputation. We believe that cash and cash equivalents, other bank balances, bank deposits and current investments are
sufficient to meet its current requirements, accordingly, no liquidity risk is perceived. We regularly monitor the rolling forecasts
to ensure we have sufficient cash on an on-going basis to meet operational needs. Any short-term surplus cash generated, over
and above the amount required for working capital management and other operational requirements, is retained as cash and
cash equivalents (to the extent required) and any excess is invested in interest bearing term deposits with appropriate maturities
and in mutual funds to optimise the cash returns on investments while ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Such changes in the values of financial instruments may result from changes in the foreign currency exchange
rates, interest rates, credit, liquidity and other market changes.
(i) Currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. The functional currency of our Company is Indian Rupees and our revenue is generated predominantly from
operations in India. We do not enter into any derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
362(ii) Price risk
We invest surplus funds in liquid mutual funds. We are exposed to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future
values of the investment. We manage the equity price risk through investing surplus funds on liquid mutual funds on short term
basis.
(iii) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk
of changes in fair values of fixed interest bearing investments because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow interest
rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing investments will fluctuate because of fluctuations in
the interest rates.

Share(s). Where the nominee is a minor, the holder(s) may make a nomination to appoint, in the prescribed manner, any person
to become entitled to Equity Share(s) in the event of his or her death during the minority. A nomination shall stand rescinded
upon a sale/transfer/alienation of Equity Share(s) by the person nominating. A nomination may be cancelled or modified by

giving a notice of such cancellation or variation to our Company. A buyer will be entitled to make a fresh nomination in the
manner prescribed. Fresh nomination can be made only on the prescribed form available on request at our Registered and

production of such evidence as may be required by the Board, elect either:
a) to register himself or herself as the holder of the Equity Shares; or
b) to make such transfer of the Equity Shares, as the deceased holder could have made.
Further, the Board may at any time give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to be registered himself or herself or to
transfer the Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with within a period of 90 days, our Board may thereafter withhold
payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Equity Shares, until the requirements of the notice
have been complied with.

nomination with our Company. Nominations registered with respective Depository Participant of the Bidder would prevail. If

Phased implementation of Unified Payments Interface
SEBI has issued the UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of inter alia, equity shares. Pursuant to
the UPI Circulars, the UPI Mechanism 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 RIBs through Designated
Intermediaries with the objective to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six Working Days to
three Working Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and
smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced the UPI Mechanism in three phases in the
following manner:
Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board public issues,
whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended until June 30, 2019. Under this
phase, a RIB had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of the Designated 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.
Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019 and was to initially continue for a period of three months or
floating of five main board public issues, whichever is later. SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133
dated November 8, 2019 had decided to extend the timeline for implementation of UPI Phase II until March 31, 2020.
Subsequently, SEBI vide its circular no. SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 had extended the timeline
for implementation of UPI Phase II until further notice. Under this phase, submission of the ASBA Form by RIBs through
Designated Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) to SCSBs for blocking of funds has been discontinued and replaced by the UPI
405Mechanism. However, the time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be six Working Days during this
phase.
Phase III: 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 SEBI circular bearing no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 (now rescinded and replaced by the SEBI ICDR Master Circular).
In this phase, the time duration from public issue closure to listing has been reduced to three Working Days.
The Offer will be made under UPI Phase III of the UPI Circular (on mandatory basis). The Offer will be advertised in all
editions of Financial Express, a widely circulated English national daily newspaper and in all editions of Jansatta, a widely
circulated Hindi national daily newspaper and in all editions of Vishwavani, a widely circulated Kannada daily newspaper
(Kannada being the regional language of Karnataka, where our Registered and Corporate Office is located) each with wide
circulation on or prior to the Bid/Offer Opening Date and such advertisement shall also be made available to the Stock
Exchanges for the purpose of uploading on their websites.
All SCSBs offering facility of making application in public issues shall also provide facility to make application using UPI.
Our Company will be required to appoint SCSBs as the Sponsor Banks to act as conduits between the Stock Exchanges and
NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and / or payment instructions of the UPI Bidders.
Individual investors bidding under the Non-Institutional Portion bidding for more than ₹0.20 million and up to ₹0.50 million
using the UPI Mechanism, shall provide their UPI ID in the Bid-cum-Application Form for Bidding through Syndicate, sub-
syndicate members, Registered Brokers, RTAs or CDPs, or online using the facility of linked online trading, demat and bank

Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, 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 Circulars 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 no later than one day from the date on which
the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being
penalised under the relevant securities law.
The processing fees for applications made by UPI Bidders using the UPI Mechanism may be released to the remitter banks
(SCSBs) only after such banks provide a written confirmation on compliance with SEBI ICDR Master Circular.

422RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the GoI and FEMA. While the
Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign investment can be made in different
sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which such investment may be made. Under the Industrial
Policy, 1991 unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is freely permitted in all sectors of the Indian economy up to any
extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making
such investment. The RBI and the concerned ministries/departments are responsible for granting approval for foreign
investment. The Government has from time to time made policy pronouncements on foreign direct investment (“FDI”) through
press notes and press releases. The DPIIT, issued the Consolidated FDI Policy, which, with effect from October 15, 2020,
consolidated and superseded all previous press notes, press releases, circulars and clarifications on FDI issued by the DPIIT
that were in force and effect as on October 15, 2020. The Consolidated FDI Policy will be valid until the DPIIT issues an
updated circular. FDI in companies engaged in sectors/ activities which are not listed in the Consolidated FDI Policy is permitted
up to 100% of the paid-up share capital of such company under the automatic route, subject to compliance with certain
prescribed conditions. For further details, see “Key Regulations and Policies” on page 216.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI, provided
that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Policy and transfer does not attract
the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within the sectoral limits under the FDI
Policy; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the SEBI/ RBI.
Further, in accordance with Press Note No. 3 (2020 Series), dated April 17, 2020 issued by the DPIIT and the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) Amendment Rules, 2020 which came into effect from April 22, 2020, any investment,
subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the
beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country (“Restricted Investors”), will
require prior approval of the Government, as prescribed in the Consolidated FDI Policy and the FEMA Non-debt Instruments
Rules. Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in India,
directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview, such subsequent
change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020, issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank or
fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the
beneficial owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its
ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior approval of the GoI is required, and such approval has been obtained,
the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar to the Offer in writing about such approval along with a copy thereof
within the Offer Period.
As per the existing policy of the Government of India, OCBs cannot participate in the Offer. For further details, see “Offer
Procedure” on page 404.

The foreign investment in our Company is governed by inter alia the FEMA, as amended, the FEMA Non-debt Instruments
Rules and the FDI Policy issued and amended by way of press notes.
In terms of the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules, a person resident outside India may make investments into India, subject
to certain terms and conditions. In terms of the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules and the FDI Policy, any investment,
subscription, purchase or sale of equity instruments by entities of a country which shares land borders with India or where the
beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will require prior approval of the
Government, as prescribed in the FDI Policy and the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange
Management (Non-debt Instruments) (Fourth Amendment) Rules, 2020 issued on December 8, 2020, a multilateral bank or
fund, of which India is a member, shall not be treated as an entity of a particular country nor shall any country be treated as the
beneficial owner of the investments of such bank or fund in India. Each Bidder should seek independent legal advice about its
ability to participate in the Offer. In the event such prior approval of the Government of India is required, and such approval
has been obtained, the Bidder shall intimate our Company and the Registrar in writing about such approval along with a copy
thereof within the Bid/ Offer Period.
In terms of the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules, for calculating the aggregate holding of FPIs in a company, holding of all
registered FPIs shall be included. The aggregate limit for FPI investments shall be the sectoral cap applicable to our Company.
In accordance with the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules, the total holding by any individual NRI, on a repatriation basis,
shall not exceed 5% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis or shall not exceed 5% of the paid-up value of
each series of debentures or preference shares or share warrants issued by an Indian company and the total holdings of all NRIs
and OCIs put together shall not exceed 10% of the total paid-up equity capital on a fully diluted basis or shall not exceed 10%
of the paid-up value of each series of debentures or preference shares or share warrant. Provided that the aggregate ceiling of
10% may be raised to 24% if a special resolution to that effect is passed by the general body of the Indian company. Our
423Company has, pursuant to a Board resolution dated June 16, 2025 and Shareholders’ resolution dated June 17, 2025, increased
the limit of investment of NRIs and OCIs from 10% to up to 24% of the paid-up equity share capital of our Company, provided
however that the shareholding of each NRI in our Company shall not exceed 5% of the Equity Share capital or such other limit
as may be stipulated by RBI in each case, from time to time.
