These statements are based on the management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information.

Neither our Company, our Directors, our Promoter, the Syndicate Member(s) nor any of their respective affiliates or advisors 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.

SECTION II - RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Equity Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider all the information in this Draft Letter of Offer, including the risks and uncertainties described below, before making an investment in the Equity Shares. In making an investment decision, prospective investors must rely on their own examination of us and the terms of the Issue including the merits and risks involved. The risks described below are not the only ones relevant to us, our Equity Shares, the industry or the segment in which we operate. Additional risks and uncertainties, not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may arise or may become material in the future and may also impair our business, results of operations and financial condition. If any of the following risks, or other risks that are not currently known or are now deemed immaterial, actually occur, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected, the trading price of our Equity Shares could decline, and as prospective investors, you may lose all or part of your investment.

INTERNAL RISK FACTORS

BUSINESS RELATED RISKS

1. There are outstanding litigations involving our Company which, if determined against us, may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

As on the date of this Draft Letter of Offer, our Company is involved in certain legal proceedings. These legal proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various courts and tribunals. The amounts claimed in these proceedings have been disclosed to the extent ascertainable and include amounts claimed jointly and/or severally from us and/or other parties, as the case may be. We cannot assure you that these legal proceedings will be decided in favour of our Company, or that no further liability will arise out of these proceedings. We may incur significant expenses in such legal proceedings and we may have to make provisions in our financial statements, which could increase our expenses and liabilities. Any adverse decision may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Any adverse outcome of these proceedings could materially impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “ Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments ” on page 102 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

2. Our agreements with lenders for financial arrangements contain restrictive covenants for certain activities/actions and if we are unable to get approval from the lenders for carrying out the said activites/actions, it might restrict our scope of activities/actions and impede our growth plans. Further, we are yet to obtain consents/ no objection certificate from certain lenders of our Company for the Issue.

Our Company has entered into agreements for our borrowings with certain lenders. These borrowings include secured fund based and non-fund based facilities. These agreements include restrictive covenants which mandate certain restrictions in terms of our business operations such as change in capital structure (including this present proposed Rights Issue), formulation of any scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction, declaring dividends, further expansion of business, granting loans to directors, repaying secured loan and unsecured loans, undertake

24

guarantee obligations, which require our Company to obtain prior approval of the lenders for any of the above activities. We have applied to all the relevant lenders for consent/no objection certificate to undertake the Issue. As on date of this Draft Letter of Offer, we are yet to receive consent from HDFC Bank Limited, DCB Bank, Citizen Credit Co-operative Bank Limited and Saraswat Co-operative Bank Limited. Our Company vide request letters dated March 4, 2024 has applied for consent of HDFC Bank Limited, DCB Bank, Citizen Credit Cooperative Bank Limited and Saraswat Co-operative Bank Limited for the proposed Issue, however we have not been able to obtain the same. Our Company proposes to utilize an aggregate amount of ₹ 850 lakhs from the Net Proceeds of the Issue towards full or partial re-payment or prepayment borrowing of our Company. Undertaking the Issue without such consents constitutes a breach of covenant under the relevant financing documents, which entitles the respective lender to consider this Issue as an event of default under the loan agreements and they may call up the entire outstanding amount and make it payable forthwith at their discretion. We cannot provide any assurance that our lenders will not enforce their rights relating to our breach of financial covenants, or grant us waivers with respect to any such breaches. The occurrence of any of the events mentioned above can adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure you that our lenders will provide us with these approvals in the future.

Some of our financing arrangements include covenants to maintain our total outside liabilities and total net worth up to a certain limit and certain other liquidity ratios. We cannot assure prospective investors that such covenants will not hinder our business development and growth in the future. A default under one of these financing agreements may also result in cross-defaults under other financing agreements and result in the outstanding amounts under such financing agreements becoming due and payable immediately. Defaults under one or more of our Company’s financing agreements may limit our flexibility in operating our business, which could have an adverse effect on our cash flows, business, results of operations and financial condition. For instance, on August 28, 2020, the pledge created by Central Bank on the Equity Shares held in the name of our deceased Promoter, Late. Areef Asgar Patel of 9,27,884 Equity Shares of our Company (representing 5.61% of the Equity Share Capital of our Company) was invoked, due to which the total shareholding of the promoter and prompter group reduced from 41.80% to 36.19% of the Equity Share Capital of our Company. We cannot assure you that any such instance shall not take place again. It may be possible for a lender to assert that we have not complied with all applicable terms under our existing financing documents. Further we cannot assure that we will have adequate funds at all times to repay these credit facilities and may also be subject to demands for the payment of penal interest.

3. We depend on third party suppliers for the adequate and timely supply of assets necessary for our operations such as aircrafts, vehicles and related equipment. Any shortage of assets for use in our business may also result in additional costs. Further, we may not be able to pass on any increase in costs levied by our third party suppliers to our clients.

The key assets necessary for our operations such as cargo aircrafts, vehicles and moving equipment, warehouses and manpower are leased from third parties, while a few assets are also owned by us. We cannot assure you that we will continue to receive an uninterrupted supply of these third party assets in a timely manner or in quantities or prices that are commercially acceptable to us, or at all. Events beyond our control may also affect the cost or availability of transport assets or related equipment. We may be required to make significant expenditure and investments in the event of changes in applicable laws and regulations, particularly any changes which impact the assets we operate for our businesses. Hiring additional ad-hoc third-party transport assets also significantly increases our operational expenses, which could adversely affect our cost structure and in turn our profitability. In addition, availability of third-party transport assets may be uncertain during periods of high demand. In addition, we may not have any control over the servicing and maintenance of these transport assets. Any nonavailability or delays in obtaining transport assets or breakdowns, on-road repairs or service interruptions may result in loss of orders or delays in delivery of goods, any of which could lead to client dissatisfaction and loss of business. In addition, as we are expanding our business into other geographical locations in India, there may be a shortage of business partners that meet our quality standards and other selection criteria and, as a result, we may not be able to engage a sufficient number of high-quality business partners in a timely manner. If any of the foregoing risks materialize, our business, operations, reputation, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

25

Further, we have not entered into any long term agreements with our suppliers for supply of the transport assets required by us for steady functioning of our business operations, therefore the costs of hiring such assets are generally based on mutual terms and the prevailing market price. In the absence of such agreements, we cannot assure that these third party agencies would fulfill their obligations or would not commit a breach of the understanding with us. In the event that our cargo suffer damage or are lost during transit, we may not able to prosecute the agencies due to lack of formal agreements. Further, the third party suppliers are not contractually bound to deal with us exclusively, we may face the risk of our competitors offering better terms or prices, which may cause them to cater to our competitors alongside us or on a priority basis, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We typically pass on the charges we receive from our third-party suppliers to our clients in the pricing of services we offer. However, we may not be able to immediately pass on any short-term increases in these charges to our clients until we negotiate the renewal terms of our informal arrangements or formal contracts with our clients. For example, the GoI has deregulated fuel prices in India. As a result, oil marketing companies are now able to decide on the prices of fuel and the fuel prices will be pegged to international crude oil prices on a daily basis. The cost of fuel has fluctuated significantly in recent periods due to various factors beyond our control, including international prices of crude oil and petroleum products, global and regional demand and supply conditions, geopolitical uncertainties, import cost of crude oil, government policies and regulations and the availability of alternative fuels. The Coronavirus pandemic has also contributed to fluctuations in the fuel prices all over the world. Fluctuations in fuel prices may increase volatility in charges we receive from our third-party suppliers. We may be susceptible to indirect costs if our suppliers decide to impose these additional costs on us in the interim period. Similarly, any fluctuations in the performance of the industries in which our clients operate or in the event of an economic slowdown in India, our clients may negotiate the prices at which we offer our services to them and we may not be able to pass on any decrease in our prices to our third-party suppliers. For instance, during this on-going pandemic, the demand of our services has declined due to travel restrictions imposed all over the country, therefore we may not able to quote higher prices or pass on the increased costs charged by our thirdparty suppliers. In the event, we do increase the cost of our services, disagreements on such costs may lead to a loss of clients. We cannot assure you that we will be able to pass on any such increases in the future to our clients, either wholly or in part. If we suffer any long-term increase in costs, our inability to pass on such increases in costs to our clients may adversely affect our operating margins and consequentially, business, financial condition and results of operations.

4. The majority of Issue proceeds will be utilized by our Company for part- repayment or prepayment of loans availed by our Company.

The main object of this Issue is to repay and/or prepay a portion of the principal and/or interest of certain borrowings availed by our Company amounting to ₹ 1,100 lakhs. As on Sept, 2023, we have outstanding secured loans aggregating to ₹894.69 lakhs. As on date we have not identified the borrowing which we intend to prepay. The selection and extent of loans proposed to be repaid from our Company’s loans will be based on various factors such as, commercial considerations including, among others, the costs, expenses and charges relating to the facility including interest rate of the relevant loan, the amount of the loan outstanding, the remaining tenor of the loan, presence of onerous terms and conditions under the facility, etc. For further details on the repayment of secured loans availed from lenders, see “ Objects of the Issue ” beginning on page 61 of this Draft Letter of Offer. For further details, please see the chapter titled “ Objects of the Issue ” beginning on page 61 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

5. Our clients operate in various industry segments/ verticals and fluctuations in the performance of the industries in which our clients operate may result in a loss of clients, a decrease in the volume of work we undertake or the price at which we offer our services. This can further lead to dependency on a limited number of clients, which may expose us to a high risk of client concentration.

Our Company is engaged in the business of providing logistics services and unified solutions focusing on air transportation as well as ancillary services such as courier services and warehousing. Our business operations are highly dependent on our customers and the loss of any of our customers from any industry which we cater to may adversely affect our sales and consequently on our business and results of operations.

26

While we typically have long term relationships with our customers, as an industry practice, we do not enter into long terms agreements with most of our customers and the success of our business is accordingly significantly dependent on us maintaining good relationships with our customers. The actual revenue earned by our Company may differ from the estimates of our management due to the absence of long term agreements. The loss of one or more of these significant or key customers or a reduction in the amount of business we obtain from them could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain historic levels of business and/or negotiate and execute long term contracts on terms that are commercially viable with our significant customers or that we will be able to significantly reduce customer concentration in the future.

A decline in our clients’ business performance may lead to a corresponding decrease in demand for our services. Furthermore, the volume of work performed for these clients may vary from time to time and we may not be the exclusive external logistics service provider for our clients. Our service contracts are generally subject to periodic renewal and related negotiations with respect to the clients with whom formal contracts have been executed by our Company. Our reliance on a select group of clients may also constrain our ability to negotiate these agreements. We are also exposed to fluctuations in the performance of the industries in which our significant clients operate. For instance, we depend on the performance of the automotive, consumer goods, pharmaceutical, ecommerce, bulk industries etc. for our business. Since, we are also engaged in the business of warehousing the performance of our clients and the industries in which they operate plays an important role in the success of our business.

Our clients may also decide to reduce spending on services due to a changing economic environment and other factors relating to the industry in which they operate. For instance, in this period of pandemic wherein all the industries are facing a slowdown and cash crunch due to the lockdown and travel restrictions imposed by several State Governments has resultant in a widespread impact on the logistics industry. In view of the present situation, a number of our clients have halted their business operations which could prompt them to cease using our services, thereby resulting in loss of our market share. A loss of any of our significant clientele, a decrease in the volume of work our clients outsource to us or a decline in our prices may materially and adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

6. We depend on our intermediaries such as cargo carriers, etc. for carrying out our business operations, and termination of our contracts or arrangements with any of these intermediaries may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We are engaged in the business of providing logistics services and unified solutions focusing on air transportation as well as ancillary services such as courier services and warehousing. We operate our business through a panIndia network comprising 92 branch offices (including franchises) and presence across India covering major cities/ towns/ airports. The intermediaries form an integral part of our business operations and help us in efficiently providing our services.

Our intermediaries account for a substantial portion of our business operations and consequently our revenue and we expect that such key intermediaries will continue to be associated with us in the foreseeable future. Although, we have entered into formal agreements with some of our intermediaries, however we cannot assure you that either of the parties will not terminate such agreement or breach any covenant of such agreements. Periodically we may have to discontinue business with certain intermediaries, for reasons including delay in cargo supply or faulty courier services, among others. Our ability to terminate our arrangements with certain intermediaries may be limited by the terms of our agreements with them. We may need to litigate the intermediaries or litigations may be filed against us for any breach or termination of the contract, such litigation could be time consuming and costly and the outcome cannot be guaranteed. Further, the term of the contracts entered by our Company with our intermediaries can be terminated by providing a short notice period and without providing any compensation for termination of contracts.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain amicable relations with our intermediary or continue to renew the arrangements with these third parties on terms that are commercially acceptable to us, or at all. We cannot assure you that such third parties shall fulfil their obligations under such agreements entirely, or at all,

27

shall not breach certain terms of their arrangements with us, including with respect to payment obligations, or shall not choose to terminate their arrangements with our Company. Such conflicts and non-renewal of such contracts may lead to loss of our key intermediaries thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations.

7. We operate in a highly fragmented and competitive industry and increased competition may lead to a reduction in our revenues, reduced profit margins or a loss of market share.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, dominated by a large number of unorganized players. Many segments within the logistics industry are highly commoditized and have low barriers to entry or exit, leading to a market with a very high degree of fragmentation. Increased competition from other organized and unorganized third-party logistics providers may lead to a reduction in our revenues, reduced profit margins or a loss of market share.

Our success depends on our ability to anticipate, understand and address the preferences of our existing and prospective clients as well as to understand evolving industry trends and our failure to adequately do so could adversely affect our business. Further, if our level of service deteriorates, or if we are unable to provide our services in a timely, reliable, safe and secure manner, our reputation and business may suffer. Our competitors may successfully attract our clients by matching or exceeding what we offer. Among other things, our competitors may:

  • expand their transportation network or increase the frequency in their existing routes;

  • reduce, or offer discounts on, their prices; while we may respond by matching their prices or by increasing our advertising and promotions, this may increase our costs and limit our ability to maintain our operating margins or growth rate; or

  • benefit from greater economies of scale if they are larger than us and operating efficiencies such as a broader logistics network, a wider range of services, larger brand recognition or greater financial resources than we do, and may be able to devote greater resources to pricing and promotional programs.

In areas of business or verticals where we are a new entrant such as warehousing services, we may be unable to compete effectively with our competitors, some of whom may have more experience. Other factors that could affect our ability to maintain our levels of revenues and profitability include the development of an operational model similar or superior to ours by a competitor or the entry of global logistics companies in the client segments where we operate. Our inability to compete effectively could affect our ability to retain our existing clients or attract new clients which may in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

8. Our operations can be adversely affected in case of accidents during the course of transit.

With a significant portion of the goods in India being transported by means of road, rail, air and water transport, our business operations are dependent on the functioning of transport networks in India. The transport assets used during such transport can be involved in accidents due to fatigue or improper handling or third-party negligence. Such accidents could lead to death or disablement of the drivers, including civilians, and expose us to the risk of third-party liability claim. Although, we believe we have availed adequate cover, including motor vehicle insurance policies, we cannot assure you that we will be able to receive a claim from these policies, failing which we will have to provide the compensation to the drivers or third parties who suffered a loss during such accidents. In the event any such accidents take place, we may get involved in litigation or other proceedings, or be held liable in any litigation or proceedings, incur increased costs, be subject to penalties, have our approvals and permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our operations, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

9. Our business is highly dependent on technology and any disruption or failure of our technology systems may affect our operations.

We believe that our technological capabilities play a key role in helping us effectively manage our pan-India operations, maintain operational and fiscal controls, and support our efforts to enhance client service levels. Our

28

business is significantly dependent on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of our technology infrastructure and systems such as our transportation management system and our warehouse management system. Our operations are vulnerable to interruption by events beyond our control such as fire, earthquake, power loss, telecommunications or internet failures, terrorist attacks and computer viruses. We are also subject to hacking or other attacks on our IT systems and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully block or prevent all such attacks. Any breaches of our IT systems may require us to incur further expenditure on repairs or more advanced security systems. A significant system failure could adversely affect our ability to manage overall operations, thereby affecting our ability to deliver our services to our clients, affecting our reputation and revenues.

We may also be exposed to multiple claims for failed delivery of goods. If such interruption is prolonged, our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We expect our clients to continue to demand more sophisticated and customized solutions. We may lose clients and our business could be affected if we fail to implement and maintain our technology systems or fail to upgrade or replace our technology systems to handle increased volumes, meet the demands of our clients and protect against disruptions of our operations. Our operating efficiency may decline and our growth may suffer if our technology systems are unable to handle additional volume of our operations as we grow. Some of our existing technologies and processes in the business may become obsolete or perform less efficiently compared to newer and better technologies and processes in the future. Certain of our competitors may have access to similar or superior technology or may have better adapted themselves to technological changes. The logistics industry could also experience unexpected disruptions from technology-based start-ups. The cost of upgrading or implementing new technologies, upgrading our equipment or expanding their capacity could be significant and could adversely affect our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations.

10. We are susceptible to risks relating to compliance with labour laws.

We outsource a portion of our operations to independent contractors for specific services, therefore for certain operations and services, we or our independent contractors engage contract labour. Engagement of such labour is regulated by applicable labour laws in India and we may be held responsible in the event of any default by the independent contractor engaged by us in making payment of wages or providing benefits such as payment of, or contribution to, provident fund. Our dependence on such contract labour may result in significant risks for our business operations, relating to the availability and skill of such contract laborers, as well as contingencies affecting availability of such contract laborers during peak periods. There can be no assurance that we will have adequate access to skilled workmen at reasonable rates. In addition to the above, in view of the ongoing pandemic and the lockdown which was imposed by several State and Central Governments, there is an acute shortage of unskilled laborers, since most of the unskilled workers have returned to their native places due to the widening income gap and lack of adequate resources to sustain their livelihood. In the event, we are unable to source adequate numbers of unskilled laborers or if we are exposed to an increased expense due to the surge in the wages of unskilled laborers we cannot assure you that it will not impact our business operations and financial condition. Due to the increase in the wages charged by the laborers, we may have to increase the cost of our services which would directly impact our customers.

While the Indian labour laws do not make service recipients liable for the wages or benefits of the personnel engaged by independent contractors, such arrangements may be reviewed suo moto by regulators or on a request from labour from time to time. Any adverse decision by a regulatory body or court requiring us to fund such payments or employ such contract labour may materially and adversely affect our business, operating margins, results of operations and cash flows. Furthermore, amendments to labour laws could adversely affect our business, operating costs and margins. In the event the new labour laws and regulations requires us to increase payment of employee benefits, avail new licenses and approvals, etc. we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover such increased labour and compliance costs from our clients, which may adversely affect our business, operations, operating margins, results of operations and cash flows. Due to the change in the labour laws, we may have to allocate an additional amount from our revenue towards our compliance cost which could increase our expenses and impact our financial results. Further, in the event we are unable to comply with the new laws and regulations in an effective manner, we may be subject to regulatory action from a regulatory body or court which may adversely affect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In the event such situation occurs, we may get involved in litigations or other proceedings, or be held liable in any litigation or proceedings, incur

29

increased costs, be subject to penalties, have our approvals and permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our business operations, any of which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Further, even though we comply with the law and obtain all necessary approvals as required under the amended statutes there can be no assurance that we may continue to hold such permits, licenses or approvals. In the event of cancellation or non-renewal of our approvals it may cause an interruption of our operations and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and future results of operations.

11. Our Company has leased/ licensed various properties, agreements for some of which have expired. Our Company is in the process of renewing such agreements. If our Company is unable to renew these agreements, it may have an adverse impact on our business.

We carry out our business from various locations, few of which have been leased/ licensed. The term of certain agreements has expired and our Company is in the process of renewing such agreements. The Company may not be able to negotiate favourable terms or the lessor/ licensee may not wish to renew the agreement. In such an event the Company would be forced to vacate the property and find another property. This could have an adverse impact on the operations of the Company which would in turn impact the business of the Company.

12. Our contracts with our clients are generally time bound and contain termination provisions. Our business may be adversely affected if our contracts with our clients are not renewed within the anticipated timeframe, or at all. We may also incur losses as a result of excess capacity at our logistics facilities if contracts are not renewed as anticipated.

We have not executed formal agreements with a majority of our clients. However, the clients with whom a formal contract has been executed can be terminated by them with or without cause, by giving short notice and without compensation and our business may be adversely affected if such contracts with our clients are terminated. Our inability to secure new contracts to offset the loss of these contracts or our inability to accurately forecast the renewal of client contracts may create uncertainties with respect of our revenues and earnings from our client contracts, any of which may in turn materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we are typically required to provide warehousing capacity for our integrated logistics clients. In order to meet such client requirements, we may lease or license properties from third parties for operating our warehouses and other logistics facilities. We maintain or increase these logistics facilities on the basis of actual demand or our projections of future demand, which may involve uncertainties. In the event our clients decide to terminate, or not renew, their formal or informal contracts with us and we are not able to use or sell our excess capacity, our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

13. Our failure to perform in accordance with the standards prescribed in our client contracts could result in loss of business or payment of liquidated damages.

The formal agreements executed by us with our clients and intermediaries require us to comply with the code of conduct and rules and regulations prescribed by our clients, which may increase our compliance costs. For instance, as per our cargo sales agreements executed with the domestic air carriers, we are bound to ensure that the cargo being booked for carriage does not contain dangerous goods, in the event we breach this clause, we may be subject to penalties or be suspended from booking any cargo for carriage with air carrier. In the event we are unable to effectively comply with our contractual obligations or address the quality requirement set by our clients or intermediaries, we may face suspension from using the services of our cargo carriers which may lead to capacity constraints, as a result of which our clients may experience service shortfalls. We may also be required to pay compensation or liquidated damages to our clients. In certain instances, we may also be required to bear consequential liability. Certain contracts may also require us to provide indemnities to our clients with respect of any negligent act or omission by or misconduct of our employees. In the event there is an increase in claims against us for which we are not insured, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Such quality lapses could strain our relationship with our clients and our reputation and brand image may suffer, which in turn may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

30

Any disruptions to our businesses, including as a result of actions outside of our control, could significantly impact our ability to meet the quality or performance standards which may in-turn harm our reputation. Such quality lapses could strain our relationship with our clients and our reputation and brand image may suffer, which in turn may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our clients may lose faith in the quality of our services and could in turn refuse to further deal with us, which could have a severe impact on our revenue and business operations. We also face the risk of legal proceedings and service liability claims being brought against us by our customers or intermediaries for defective services provided. There have been instances in the past, wherein our clients have filed litigations against us for providing services which are below their expected quality standards. For further details, please refer to the section titled “ Outstanding Litigations and Defaults ” at page 102 of this Draft Letter of Offer. In such an event, we may be subject to increase number of litigations, which could be time consuming and the outcome of such litigations may not always be in our favor. We may need to allocate additional resources and funds from our revenue towards litigation costs, which could materially impact our business operations. We cannot assure you that we will not experience any material liability losses in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to defend any such claims. Liability claim may adversely affect our reputation and brand image, as well as entail significant costs thereby impacting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

14. We are exposed to the risk of delays or non-payment by our clients and other counterparties, which may also result in cash flow mismatches.

We are exposed to counter party credit risk in the usual course of our business dealings with our clients or other counterparties who may delay or fail to make payments or perform their other contractual obligations. For the Fiscal ending March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 our trade receivables were ₹7,385.53 lakhs, ₹ 6,433.55 lakhs and ₹ 7,190.89 lakhs, respectively.

The financial condition of our clients and other counterparties may be affected by the performance of their business which may be impacted by several factors including general economic conditions. For instance, the ongoing pandemic has led to a slowdown in the economy which has directly/ indirectly impacted the industries in which our clients function. Due to the current scenario, we might be exposed to an increased risk of payment delays and/or defaults of payments. Such delays in payments may require our Company to make a working capital investment. We cannot assure you that payments from all or any of our clients will be received in a timely manner or to that extent will be received at all. If any of our clients default in making its payments, or if an order in which our Company has invested significant resources is delayed, cancelled or does not proceed to completion, it could have a material adverse effect on our Company’s results of operations and financial condition. For the Fiscal ending March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 we have written off bad debts to the tune of ₹ 282.05 lakhs, 1,010.46 lakhs and ₹1,228.38 lakhs, respectively.

The credit period offered by our intermediaries or suppliers is generally lesser than what we generally grant our clients. The longer credit period granted to our clients compared to that offered by our suppliers may potentially result in certain cash flow mismatches. We cannot assure you that we will not experience any significant cash flow mismatches in the future or that our cash flow management measures will function properly, or at all. If we fail to properly manage the possible cash flow mismatches, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.

15. Our Company has experienced negative cash flow in the past and may continue to do so in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Our Company has experienced negative net cash flow in operating, investing and financing activities in the past, the details of which are provided below:

We may incur negative cash flows in the future which may have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

16. Any disruptions which affect our ability to utilize our transportation network in an uninterrupted manner could result in delays, additional costs or a loss of reputation or profitability.

With a significant portion of the goods in India being transported by road, air, water and rail, our business operations are dependent on the steady functioning of all transport forms, particularly the airline industry and road network in India. Certain factors which could adversely affect road transport and result in delays, additional costs or unreliability include bad weather conditions, natural calamities, time-consuming and complex inter-state travel, political unrest, regional disturbances, fatigue or improper conduct of drivers, accidents and third-party negligence. Our cargo transported through air transport could suffer delays and additional costs due to inter alia personnel strikes, advent of regressive policy or regulatory framework, increased costs of cargo booking, mishandling of cargo by personnel, etc. We cannot assure you that these factors and conditions will not affect our supply chain and logistics schedules, including last-mile connectivity, or our ability to operate without disruption. Furthermore, in the current scenario, where the we have limited access to road and air transportation due to travel restrictions imposed by central and various state governments in light of the Coronavirus pandemic, our business operations may suffer a huge impact due to disruptions of our services and inability to utilise the transportation network. In case we are struck by a second wave of Coronavirus and if another lockdown is imposed in the country, we may face huge losses and our business operations could be severely impacted.

Any prolonged or significant downtime of, or damage to, our transport vehicles or third-party transport vehicles or other related equipment may cause disruptions to our operations. If any of these risks materialize, our business, operations, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

17. We may not be able to acquire warehouses and other logistics facilities in desirable locations that are suitable for our expansion at commercially reasonable prices and our expansion plans may be delayed or affected by various factors.

The growth and success of our warehousing business significantly depend on our ability to lease or otherwise obtain rights to use warehouses and other logistics facilities at locations that are suitable for our warehousing operations and at commercially reasonable prices. In particular, the success of our warehousing facility depends significantly on the infrastructure support in the surrounding area such as access to public roads, highways, ports and airports.

Our ability to obtain rights to use and/or develop warehouses and other logistics facilities depends on a variety of factors that are beyond our control such as overall economic conditions, the availability of warehouses and logistics facilities, our ability to identify such properties and competition for such properties. In addition, properties in convenient locations or supported by quality infrastructure, including trained/skilled manpower, uninterrupted power, access to major arterial road networks etc. may command a premium, which may exceed our budget. The expansion of our warehouses and other logistics facilities may be adversely affected by certain other factors, including, but not limited to; delays in construction or improvements due to factors beyond our control; inability to obtain all necessary regulatory licenses, permits, approvals and authorizations; significant pre-operating costs or capital improvements, work stoppages, strikes or accidents; and inability to invest in equipment, manpower and related assets at our existing and proposed warehouses that are suitable for our expansion at commercially reasonable prices.

To the extent that we are unable to obtain rights to use or lease suitable warehouses and logistics facilities within the anticipated time frame or at commercially acceptable prices, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

18. Our multi-location operations are subject to various statutory, legal and regulatory risks. We are also susceptible to risks relating to interruptions and disruptions at our logistics and warehousing facilities.

Our Company operates its business through a pan-India network comprising of 92 branch offices (including franchises) and also has a presence across India covering major cities/ towns/ airports. Our future revenue growth

32

depends upon the successful operation of our operating locations and warehouses, the efficiency of our delivery systems and the successful management of our marketing, and support and service teams through direct and indirect channels in various states across India where our existing or potential clients are located. The expansion of our business may require that we establish new offices and warehouses 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 labor 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 local business and regulatory requirements. Any of these factors, alone or in combination, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and prospects.

We are also susceptible to risks relating to interruptions and disruptions at our logistics and warehousing facilities. The operations at our various logistics and warehousing facilities are also subject to various operating risks such as the breakdown or failure of equipment, power supply or processes, natural disasters and accidents. Any interruption of our operations at our various logistics and warehousing facilities could significantly reduce our ability to manage and carry out our business operations. If prolonged, such interruption could impact our ability to service our clients and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

19. Our business strategies and expansion plans may be subject to various unfamiliar risks and may not be successful.

Our business strategies include widening our customer base by entering into new geographies and strengthening our relationships with our existing clients. These strategies require us to expand our operations to other geographical areas and in new industry verticals. Risks that we may face in implementing our business strategy in these markets may substantially differ from those previously experienced, thereby exposing us to risks related to new markets, industry verticals and clients. The commencement of operations beyond our current markets and industry verticals is subject to various risks including unfamiliarity with pricing dynamics, competition, service and operational issues as well as our ability to retain key management and employees. There can also be no assurance that we will not experience issues such as capital constraints, difficulties in expanding our existing operations and challenges in training an increasing number of personnel to manage and operate our expanded business, or that we will be able to successfully manage the impact of our growth on our operational and managerial resources and control systems. We may not be able to successfully manage some or all of the risks associated with such an expansion into new geographical areas and new industry verticals, which may place us at a competitive disadvantage, limit our growth opportunities and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We cannot guarantee that our business in these new geographical areas will continue to perform in a manner consistent with its performance in prior periods and existing areas where we function. Going forward, we plan to make further investments or undertake transactions to enhance our operations and technological capabilities in the markets where we currently operate. However, it is possible that we may not be able to identify suitable investment opportunities in the future and if we do identify suitable opportunities, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve the strategic purpose of these investments and generate the expected benefits. Our management’s attention and resources may also be diverted from our operations as a result of these investment transactions. If any of the foregoing risks materialize, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

33

20. Misconduct or errors by manpower engaged by us could expose us to business risks or losses that could adversely affect our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Misconduct or errors by manpower engaged by us could expose us to business risks or losses, including regulatory sanctions, penalties and serious harm to our reputation. Such misconduct includes breach of security requirements, misappropriation of funds, hiding unauthorized activities, failure to observe our stringent operational standards and processes and improper use of confidential information. It is not always possible to detect or deter such misconduct, and the precautions we take to prevent and detect such misconduct may not be effective. Consequently, our ability to control the workplace environment in such circumstances is limited. The risks associated with the deployment of manpower engaged by us across several locations include, among others, possible claims relating to; actions or inactions, including matters for which we may have to indemnify our clients; our failure to adequately verify personnel backgrounds and qualifications resulting in deficient services; failure of manpower engaged by us to adequately perform their duties or absenteeism; errors or malicious acts or violation of security, privacy, health and safety regulations; and damage to our clients’ facilities or property due to negligence or criminal acts.

These claims may give rise to litigation and claims for damages, which could be time-consuming. These claims may also result in negative publicity and adversely impact our reputation and brand name. Further, we may be forced to indemnify our clients against losses or damages suffered by our clients as a result of negligent acts of manpower engaged by us. We may also be affected in our operations by the acts of third parties, including subcontractors and service providers. Any claims and proceedings for alleged negligence as well as regulatory actions may in turn materially and adversely affect our brand and our reputation, and consequently, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

21. We may face claims relating to loss or damage to cargo, personal injury claims or other operating risks that are not adequately insured.

Our business is subject to various risks inherent in the logistics industry, including potential liability to our clients which could result from, among other circumstances, personal injury to passengers or damage to property arising from accidents or incidents involving vehicles operated by us. In the normal course of business, we may be exposed to claims from our clients arising from theft, damage or loss of the materials. There have been instances in past, wherein we are accused of not efficiently delivering the materials or negligently handling the goods, for further details, please refer to the section titled “ Outstanding Litigations and Defaults ” at page 102 of this Draft Letter of Offer. We may, in certain circumstances, be required to compensate our clients in the event of any damage or loss of goods transported by us. Air and road transport services involve many risks and hazards, including mechanical breakdowns; however, insurance cover may be expensive, or may not be available, for certain of these risks. We may become subject to liability for hazards which we cannot, or may not elect to, insure because of high premium costs or other reasons, or for occurrences which exceed maximum coverage under our policies.

While we maintain insurance coverage at levels and for risks that we believe are customary in the logistics industry in India, we cannot assure you that there will not be any claims relating to loss or damage to goods, personal injury claims or other operating risks that are not adequately insured. We cannot assure you that the terms of our insurance policies will be adequate to cover any such damage or loss suffered or that such coverage will continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim. Furthermore, any accident or incident involving vehicles operated by third party suppliers, even if these vehicles are fully insured or we are held not to be liable, could negatively affect our reputation among clients and the public, thereby making it more difficult for us to compete effectively, and could significantly affect the cost and availability of insurance in the future. To the extent that any such uninsured risks materialize, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

22. We do not verify the contents of the goods transported by us, thereby exposing us to the risks associated with the transportation of goods in violation of applicable regulations.

34

We transport various goods as part of our business operations. While we obtain a declaration from the client regarding the contents of the parcel and its value, we do not independently verify its contents. We also do not have any equipment to enable us to verify all our consignments prior to loading such consignments on our vehicles. Accordingly, we are unable to guarantee that these parcels do not contain any hazardous or illegal goods. In such circumstances, our transport vehicles may be confiscated, which could in turn, adversely affect our business, operations and reputation. Furthermore, transporting dangerous or hazardous goods through air carriers could hamper our contractual relationship with various intermediaries who transport our cargo through air and we may be subject to penalties and could also be suspended from availing their services.

In addition, our business could involve movement of confidential documents and information, and unauthorized disclosure of such confidential and sensitive information may result in liability for us. Further, we are subject to a broad range of national, state and local safety laws and regulations. In the course of our operations, we may store, transport or arrange for the storage or transportation of substances defined as hazardous under applicable laws. If any damage or injury occurs as a result of our storage or transportation of hazardous, explosive or illegal materials, we may be subject to claims from third parties, and bear liability, for such damage or injury even if we were unaware of the presence of the hazardous, explosive or illegal materials, which could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

23. In the past, there have been instances of delays and non-filings of certain forms which were required to be filed as per the reporting requirements under the Companies Act, 2013 to RoC.

In the past, there have been certain instances of delays in filing statutory forms as per the reporting requirements under the Companies Act, 2013 with the RoC, which have been subsequently filed by payment of an additional fee as specified by RoC. Further, there have been instances of non-filings of statutory forms with RoC as per the reporting requirements laid down under the Companies Act, 2013, such as inter alia Form CHG-1 for the loan availed by our Company from PNB Housing Finance Limited, Form MGT-14 for certain resolutions passed by our Board of Directors under Section 179 of the Companies Act, 2013, etc. In addition to the above, our Company has not appointed an internal auditor under Section 138 of the Companies Act, 2013 for the financial year 20192020 and there have been instances in the past wherein the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has rejected the internal audit reports of our internal auditor and has not taken note of the related party transitions and intercorporate deposits availed or extended by our Company under Section 177 of the Companies Act, 2013.

No show cause notice in respect to the above has been received by our Company till date and except as stated in this Draft Letter of Offer, no penalty or fine has been imposed by any regulatory authority in respect to the same. It cannot be assured, that there will not be such instances in the future or our Company will not commit any further delays or defaults in relation to its reporting requirements, or any penalty or fine will not be imposed by any regulatory authority in respect to the same. The happening of such event may cause a material effect on our results of operations and financial position.

24. As the securities of our Company are listed on Stock Exchanges in India, our Company is subject to certain obligations and reporting requirements under the SEBI Listing Regulations. Any non-compliances/delay in complying with such obligations and reporting requirements may render us liable to prosecution and/or penalties.

The Equity Shares of our Company are listed on BSE, NSE and CSE therefore we are subject to the obligations and reporting requirements prescribed under the SEBI Listing Regulations. Our Company endeavours to comply with all such obligations/reporting requirements, however there have been instances in the past of nondisclosures/delayed/erroneous disclosures and violations of including but not limited to Regulation 23, Regulation 30, Regulation 42 and Regulation 47 of the SEBI Listing Regulations which might have been committed by us, and the same may result into Stock Exchanges and/or SEBI imposing penalties, issuing warnings and show cause notices against us and/or taking actions as provided under the SEBI Act and Rules and Regulations made there under and applicable SEBI Circulars. Any such adverse regulatory action or development could affect our business reputation, divert management attention, and result in a material adverse effect on our business prospects and financial performance and on the trading price of the Equity Shares. We have however, been in compliance with the SEBI Listing Regulations for the past 12 months and therefore, this Draft Letter of Offer is prepared and submitted in terms of Part B of Schedule VI to the SEBI ICDR Regulations.

35

36

25. Our Company requires significant amount of working capital for a continuing growth. Our inability to meet our working capital requirements may adversely affect our results of operations.

Our business requires a significant amount of working capital. Any delay in processing our payments by our customers may increase our working capital requirement. Further, if a customer defaults in making payment for the services provided by us, on which we have devoted significant resources, it could affect our profitability and liquidity and decrease the capital reserves that are otherwise available for other uses. We may file a claim for compensation of the loss that we incurred pursuant to such defaults but settlement of disputes generally takes time and financial and other resources, and the outcome is often uncertain. In general, we take provisions for bad debts, including those arising from such defaults based primarily on ageing and other factors such as special circumstances relating to special customers. There can be no assurance that such payments will be remitted by our clients to us on a timely basis or that we will be able to effectively manage the level of bad debt arising from defaults. All of these factors may result, or have resulted, in increase in the amount of receivables and short-term borrowings. Continued increase in working capital requirements may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We may also have large cash flows, including among others, losses resulting from environmental liabilities, litigation costs, adverse political conditions, foreign exchange risks and liability claims. Moreover, we may require additional finance facility in the future to satisfy our working capital needs.

26. Our Company does not have any documentary evidence for the educational qualifications and experience of some of our Directors.

Our Independent Director, Farukh Soli Wadia is unable to trace their educational qualifications. Due to lack of documents and relevant information from the aforementioned Directors, we have relied on affidavits provided to us or have not mentioned the relevant details in their biographies in the chapter titled “ Our Management ” as is required under the SEBI ICDR Regulations. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “ Our Management ” on page 80 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

27. Certain records of our Company are not traceable.

We do not have access to certain records and filings pertaining to the litigations filed by our Company, loans availed by our Company from various financial institutions and property documents pertaining to the premises taken or given on lease by us. Further, the original property documents of our owned premises are in the possession of the banks from which we have availed secured loans, therefore we shall not be able to provide a copy of such property documents. Accordingly, we have relied on the confirmations, other documents, including submissions made to the Stock Exchanges, annual returns, directors’ report, the statutory register of members of the Company, minutes of the meetings of the Board of Directors and Shareholders while making the relevant disclosures. We cannot assure you that these records will be available in the future or that we will not be subject to any penalties imposed by the relevant regulatory authority in this respect.

28. We require certain approvals and licenses in the ordinary course of business, and any failure to obtain or retain such approvals in a timely manner, or comply with applicable laws, may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We require certain approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions for operating our business in India, if we fail to apply, obtain or retain any of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner, our business may be adversely affected.

In relation to certain of our facilities and operating locations, we are required to maintain and avail certain approvals and licenses. We cannot assure you that we will receive all the required certifications or that we will able to maintain the validity of the quality certifications that have previously been awarded. Certain stockyards that we lease or license from third parties are subject to land-use restrictions, approvals and other conditions under applicable laws. Our lessors in most cases are required to comply with such restrictions and maintain requisite approvals. In the event, our lessors are unable to comply with such restrictions or apply for or obtain approvals, we may be required to discontinue our use of such stockyards and seek alternative sites. Any inability of our lessors to comply with restrictions or apply for or obtain and maintain the requisite approvals under applicable law could disrupt our business and adversely affect our results of operations.

37

Further, government approvals and licenses are subject to numerous conditions, of which some may be onerous and may require us to undertake substantial compliance-related expenditure. In certain locations, regulatory authorities may exercise considerable discretion in matters of enforcement and interpretation of applicable laws, regulations and standards. The growth in size or scope of our business, expansion of our footprint in existing regions in which we operate and entry into new geographies will also expose us to regulatory regimes with which we have no prior direct experience and expansion into new areas could lead to our becoming subject to additional or different laws and regulations. Changes in laws and regulations, more stringent enforcement or alternative interpretation of existing laws and regulations in geographies in which we currently operate may make compliance with all applicable laws and regulations more challenging and could affect us adversely by tightening restrictions, reducing our freedom to do business, increasing our costs of doing business, or reducing our profitability.

Failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, obtain and maintain any licenses, permits and approvals necessary to operate our business or non-compliance with any conditions imposed thereunder can lead to civil, administrative or criminal penalties, including but not limited to fines or the revocation of permits and licenses that may be necessary for our business activities. We could also be required to pay damages in respect of third party claims, including those relating to personal injury or property damage, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

29. If our Company is unable to protect its intellectual property, or if our Company infringes on the intellectual property rights of others, our business may be adversely affected.

Our Company’s success largely depends on our brand name and brand image, therefore we have trademarked our logo differentiating our Company’s services from that of our competitors. We deal under other brand names as well, which have also been trademarked by us to maintain a distinction and differentiation for our services.

Our current trademark and logo , is owned by our Company under the provisions of the Trademarks Act, 1999. Our trademarks may be subject to counterfeiting or imitation which would adversely impact our reputation and lead to loss of customer confidence, reduced sales and higher administrative costs.

We are also exposed to the risk that other entities may pass off their services as ours by imitating our brand name. We believe that there may be other companies or vendors which operate in the unorganized segment using our tradename or brand names. Any such activities may harm the reputation of our brand and services provided by us, which could in turn adversely affect our financial performance. We rely on protections available under Indian law, which may not be adequate to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties. Furthermore, the application of laws governing intellectual property rights in India is uncertain and evolving, and could involve substantial risks to us. Notwithstanding the precautions we take to protect our intellectual property rights, it is possible that third parties may copy or otherwise infringe on our rights, which may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

We cannot assure you that any third party will not misuse our brand name or logo. In such an event, we may have to prosecute such third parties which could be time consuming and the outcome of such litigations may not always be in our favor. Our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate and may lead to erosion of our business value and our operations could be adversely affected. We may need to litigate in order to determine the validity of such claims and the scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any such litigation could be time consuming. We may not be able to detect any unauthorized use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce or protect its intellectual property, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “ Our Business ” on pages 73 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

30. Our growth and our financial results may be affected by factors affecting the logistics industry in India.

Our financial results are influenced by the macroeconomic factors determining the growth of the Indian economy as a whole and the logistics sector in particular. The logistics sector is influenced by a growth in disposable

38

income. The demand for services is primarily dependent on the demand for logistical services in the economy.

Periods of slowdown in the economic growth of India has significantly affected the logistics sector in the recent past. Any further downturn in our industry and/or changes in governmental policies affecting the growth of this sector may have an adverse effect on the demand for our services which may have an adverse effect on our results of our operations. Especially, during the ongoing pandemic, the economy as a whole has withstood the worst impact of extended lockdown and reduction in the flow of income. Logistics sector industries may see a downside in the current situation and an adverse and direct impact could fall on our business operations, demand of our services, revenue and financial condition.

31. Our Promoter, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel have interests in our Company other than reimbursement of expenses incurred or normal remuneration or benefits.

Our Promoter, Directors and Key Managerial Personnel, may be deemed to be interested in our Company, in addition to the regular remuneration or benefits, reimbursements of expenses, Equity Shares held by them or their relatives, their dividend or bonus entitlement, benefits arising from their directorship in our Company.

There can be no assurance that our Promoter, Directors, Key Management Personnel will exercise their rights as shareholders to the benefit and best interest of our Company. Our Promoter and members of our Promoter Group will continue to exercise significant control over our Company, including being able to control the composition of our Board of Directors and determine decisions requiring simple or special majority voting of shareholders, and our other shareholders may be unable to affect the outcome of such voting. Our Directors and our Key Management Personnel may take or block actions with respect to our business, which may conflict with the best interests of our Company or that of minority shareholders.

32. We have certain contingent liabilities and our financial condition and profitability may be adversely affected if any of these contingent liabilities materialize.

As of March 31, 2023, our contingent liabilities and commitments (to the extent not provided for) as disclosed in the notes to our Audited Financial Information aggregated to 962.44 lakhs. The details of our contingent liabilities are as follows:

Particulars (₹ in lakhs)
Counterguaranteesgiven to Banks against credit facilities 353.15
Claims against the Companynot acknowledged as debts 599.29
Income Tax Payable in case of Loss of Appeal(AY 21-22)against the department 10.00
Total 962.44

For further details of contingent liability, see the section titled ― “ Financial Information ” on page 84 of this Letter of Offer. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities in the future.

33. We have in past entered into related party transactions and we may continue to do so in the future.

As of March 31, 2023, we have entered into several related party transactions with our Promoter, individuals and entities forming a part of our promoter group, our Directors and the entities in which they hold directorships. In addition, we have in the past also entered into transactions with other related parties.

While we believe that all our related party transactions have been conducted on an arm’s length basis, we cannot assure you that we may not have achieved more favorable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. There can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or taken together, will not have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition, including because of potential conflicts of interest or otherwise. In addition, our business and growth prospects may decline if we cannot benefit from our relationships with them in the future.

34. In addition to our existing indebtedness for our existing operations, we may incur further indebtedness during

39

the course of business. We cannot assure that we would be able to service our existing and/ or additional indebtedness.

As on September 30, 2023 our Company’s total fund-based indebtedness is ₹ 5,240.74 lakhs. In addition to the indebtedness for our existing operations, we may incur further indebtedness during the course of our business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain further loans at favorable terms. Increased borrowings, if any, may adversely affect our debt-equity ratio and our ability to borrow at competitive rates. In addition, we cannot assure you that the budgeting of our working capital requirements for a particular year will be accurate. There may be situations where we may under-budget our working capital requirements, which may lead to delays in arranging additional working capital requirements, loss of reputation, levy of liquidated damages and can cause an adverse effect on our cash flows.

Any failure to service our indebtedness or otherwise perform our obligations under our financing agreements entered with our lenders or which may be entered into by our Company, could trigger cross default provisions, penalties, acceleration of repayment of amounts due under such facilities which may cause an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

35. Our Company has taken certain unsecured loans from financial institutions and public deposits, which may be recalled at any time.

As on September 30, 2023, our Company has outstanding unsecured loans (outstanding deposits from public) aggregating to ₹ 98.47 lakhs, which may be recalled by them at any time. In the event, any of such lenders/depositors seek a repayment of any these loans, our Company would need to find alternative sources of financing, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we are unable to arrange for any such financing arrangements, we may not have adequate working capital to undertake new projects or complete our ongoing projects. Therefore, any such demand may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

36. Our future fund requirements, in the form of further issue of capital or securities and/or loans taken by us, may be prejudicial to the interest of the Shareholders depending upon the terms on which they are eventually raised.

We may require additional capital from time to time depending on our business needs. Any further issue of Equity Shares or convertible securities would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders and such issuance may be done on terms and conditions, which may not be favourable to the then existing Shareholders. If such funds are raised in the form of loans or debt or preference shares, then it may substantially increase our fixed interest/dividend burden and decrease our cash flows, thus adversely affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition.

37. Our success largely depends upon the knowledge and experience of our Promoter, Directors and our Key Managerial Personnel. Loss of any of our Directors and key managerial personnel or our ability to attract and retain them could adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition.

Our Company depends on the management skills and guidance of our Promoter and Directors for development of business strategies, monitoring its successful implementation and meeting future challenges. Further, we also significantly depend on the expertise, experience and continued efforts of our Key Managerial Personnel. Some of our employees have been associated with our Company since a long period of time and have been integral to the growth and in the success of our Company. Our future performance will depend largely on our ability to retain the continued service of our management team. If one or more of our Directors or Key Managerial Personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in his/ her present position, it could be difficult for us to find a suitable or timely replacement and our business could be adversely affected. There is significant competition for management and other skilled personnel in the industry in which we operate, and it may be difficult to attract and retain the personnel we require in the future. There can be no assurance that our competitors will not offer better compensation packages and incentives to such Key Managerial Personnel. In the event we are not able to attract and retain talented employees, as required for conducting our business, or we experience high attrition levels which are largely out of our control, or if we are unable to motivate and retain existing employees, our

40

business, financial condition and operations may be adversely affected. For further details on our Directors and Key Managerial Personnel, please refer to the chapter titled ― “ Our Management ” on page 80 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

38. Our inability to procure and/or maintain adequate insurance cover in connection with our business may adversely affect our operations and profitability.

Our operations are subject to inherent risks and hazards which may adversely impact our profitability, such as accidents, cargo damage, misplacement of cargo, fire, riots, third party liability claims, loss-in-transit and natural disasters. Presently, we have obtained certain policies such as standard fire and special perils policy, money insurance policy, motor secure insurance policy, auto secure private car package policy. We have also availed insurance policies such as fidelity guarantee insurance policy, group medical policy and group personal accident insurance policy for our employees. We have also availed various insurance policies to cover our vehicles at our offices. The said policies insure building, furniture, fittings, electrical installation, office equipment, stationery, meter wires, cables, godown, transported godown, meeting rooms, building superstructure, any other office contents, from earthquake, fire, shock, terrorism, etc.; marine cargo open policy insures; all good that are taken by airlines under their rules and regulations which shall not include hazardous goods; portable equipment insurance policy insures laptops and air conditioners from electrical or mechanical breakdown; motor secure insurance policy, auto secure private car package policy and motor secure insurance policy. There are many events that could cause significant damages to our operations, or expose us to third-party liabilities, whether or not known to us, for which we may not be insured or adequately insured, which in turn may expose us to certain risks and liabilities. There can be no assurance that our insurance policies will be adequate to cover the losses in respect of which the insurance had been availed. Further, there can be no assurance that any claim under the insurance policies maintained by us will be honored fully, in part, or on time. If we were to incur a significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

39. Our Company is subject to foreign exchange control regulations which can pose a risk of currency fluctuations.

Our Company is involved in various business transaction with international clients and has to conduct the same in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed under FEMA. Due to non-receipt of such payments in a timely manner, our Company may fail to adhere to the prescribed timelines and may be required to pay penalty to the appropriate authority or department to regularize the payment. Further, our international operations make us susceptible to the risk of currency fluctuations, which may directly affect our operating results. In case we are unable to adhere to the timelines prescribed under the applicable laws or are unable to mitigate the risk of currency fluctuation, it could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial conditions and cash flows.

40. Our ability to pay dividends in the future may be affected by any material adverse effect on our future earnings, financial condition or cash flows.

Our ability to pay dividends in future will depend on our earnings, financial condition and capital requirements. Our business is working capital intensive and we are required to obtain consents from certain of our lenders prior to the declaration of dividend as per the terms of the agreements executed with them. We may be unable to pay dividends in the near or medium term, and our future dividend policy will depend on our capital requirements and financing arrangements in respect of our operations, financial condition and results of operations. Although our Company has declared dividends in the past, however there can be no assurance that our Company will declare dividends in the future also.

41. Increased losses due to fraud, employee negligence, theft or similar incidents may have an adverse impact on us.

Our business and the industry in which we operate are vulnerable to the problem of pilferage by employees, damage, misappropriation of cash and inventory management and logistical errors. An increase in such instances may require us to install additional security and surveillance equipment and incur additional expenses during our

41

course of business. We cannot assure you whether these measures will successfully prevent such losses. Further, there are inherent risks in cash management as part of our operations, which include theft and robbery, employee fraud and the risks involved in transferring cash to banks. Additionally, in case of losses due to theft, financial misappropriation, fire, breakage or damage caused by other casualties, we cannot assure you that we will be able to recover from our insurers the full amount of any such loss in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, if we file claims under an insurance policy it could lead to increases in the insurance premiums payable by us or the termination of coverage under the relevant policy.

42. The deployment of funds is entirely at our discretion and as per the details mentioned in the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue”.

As the issue size shall be less than ₹10,000 lakhs, under Regulation 82 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations it is not required that a monitoring agency be appointed by our Company, for overseeing the deployment and utilisation of funds raised through this Issue. Therefore, the deployment of the funds towards the Objects of this Issue is entirely at the discretion of our Board of Directors and is not subject to monitoring by external independent agency. Our Board of Directors along with the Audit Committee will monitor the utilisation of Issue proceeds and shall have the flexibility in applying the proceeds of this Issue. However, the management of our Company shall not have the power to alter the objects of this Issue except with the approval of the Shareholders of the Company given by way of a special resolution in a general meeting, in the manner specified in Section 27 of the Companies Act, 2013. For further details, please refer to the chapter titled “ Objects of the Issue ” on page 61 of this Draft Letter of Offer.

ISSUE SPECIFIC RISKS

43. Our Company will not distribute the Draft Letter of Offer and Application Form to certain overseas Shareholders who have not provided an address in India for service of documents.

Our Company will dispatch this Draft Letter of Offer, the Abridged Draft Letter of Offer, Rights Entitlement Letter and Application Form (the “ Offering Materials ”) to such Shareholders who have provided an address in India for the service of documents. The Offering Materials will not be distributed to addresses outside India on account of restrictions that apply to the circulation of such materials in various overseas jurisdictions. However, the Companies Act requires companies to serve documents at any address, which may be provided by the members as well as through e- mail. Presently, there is a lack of clarity under the Companies Act, 2013, and the rules thereunder, with respect to the distribution of Offering Materials to retail individual shareholders in overseas jurisdictions where such distribution may be prohibited under applicable laws of such jurisdictions.

44. The entitlement of Rights Equity Shares to be allotted to investors applying for Allotment in physical form, will be kept in abeyance.

In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the option to receive the Rights Equity Shares in physical form will not be available after a period of six months from the date of coming into force of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, i.e., May 10, 2019. Since, the Rights Equity Shares offered pursuant to this Issue will be Allotted only after May 10, 2019, the entitlement of Rights Equity Shares to be Allotted to the Applicants who have applied for Allotment of the Rights Equity Shares in physical form will be kept in abeyance in electronic mode by our Company until the Applicants provide details of their demat account particulars to the Registrar. Pursuant to a press release dated December 3, 2018 issued by the SEBI, with effect from April 1, 2019, a transfer of listed Equity Shares cannot be processed unless the Equity Shares are held in dematerialized form (except in case of transmission or transposition of Equity Shares).

45. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity-linked securities by our Company may dilute your shareholding and any sale of Equity Shares by our Promoter or members of our Promoter Group may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by our Company may dilute your shareholding in our Company; adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of our securities. In addition, any perception by investors that

42

such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that we will not issue additional Equity Shares. The disposal of Equity Shares by any of our Promoter and Promoter Group, or the perception that such sales may occur may significantly affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that our Promoter and Promoter Group will not dispose of, pledge or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.

46. You may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of capital gains on the sale of the Equity Shares.

Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares of an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Accordingly, you may be subject to payment of long-term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of STT, on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more than 12 months. STT will be levied on and collected by a domestic stock exchange on which the Equity Shares are sold. Further, any gain realized on the sale of listed equity shares held for a period of 12 months or less will be subject to short-term capital gains tax in India. Capital gains arising from the sale of the Equity Shares may be partially or completely exempt from taxation in India in cases where such exemption is provided under a treaty between India and the country of which the seller is a resident. Generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s ability to impose tax on capital gains. As a result, residents of other countries may be liable for tax in India as well as in their own jurisdiction on gains made upon the sale of the Equity Shares.

47. You may not receive the Equity Shares that you subscribe in the Issue until fifteen days after the date on which this Issue closes, which will subject you to market risk.

The Equity Shares that you subscribe in the Issue may not be credited to your demat account with the depository participants until approximately 15 days from the Issue Closing Date. You can start trading such Equity Shares only after receipt of the listing and trading approval in respect thereof. There can be no assurance that the Equity Shares allocated to you will be credited to your demat account, or that trading in the Equity Shares will commence within the specified time period, subjecting you to market risk for such period.

48. There is no guarantee that our Equity Shares will be listed in a timely manner or at all which may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares.

In accordance with Indian law and practice, final approval for listing and trading of the Equity Shares will not be granted by the Stock Exchanges until after those Equity Shares have been issued and allotted. Approval will require all relevant documents authorizing the issuing of Equity Shares to be submitted. There could be a failure or delay in listing the Equity Shares on Stock Exchanges. Any failure or delay in obtaining the approval would restrict your ability to dispose of your Equity Shares. Further, historical trading prices, therefore, may not be indicative of the prices at which the Equity Shares will trade in the future which may adversely impact the ability of our shareholders to sell the Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares at that point of time.

43

49. Holders of Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law and could thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.

Under the Companies Act, any company 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 prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights have been waived by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the shares voted on such resolution, unless our Company has obtained government approval to issue without such rights. However, if the law of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights without us filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction, you will be unable to exercise such preemptive rights unless we make such a filing. We may elect not to file a registration statement in relation to preemptive rights otherwise available by Indian law to you. To the extent that you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares, your proportional interests in us would be reduced.

50. Fluctuation in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may adversely affect the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.

On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the Stock Exchanges. Any dividends in respect of our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign currency for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time that it takes to undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating outside India the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares, for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares may reduce the proceeds received by equity shareholders. For example, the exchange rate between the Rupee and the U.S. dollar has fluctuated substantially in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may adversely affect the trading price of our Equity Shares and returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.

51. Sale of Equity Shares by our Promoter or other significant shareholder(s) may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.

Any instance of disinvestments of equity shares by our Promoter or by other significant shareholder(s) may significantly affect the trading price of our Equity Shares. Further, our market price may also be adversely affected even if there is a perception or belief that such sales of Equity Shares might occur.

52. Rights of shareholders under Indian laws may be more limited than under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Indian legal principles related to corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights including in relation to class actions, under Indian law may not be as extensive as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions. Investors may have more difficulty in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as shareholder of a corporation in another jurisdiction.

EXTERNAL RISK FACTORS

53. The outbreak of Novel Coronavirus, or outbreak of any other severe communicable disease could have a potential impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The outbreak, or threatened outbreak, of any severe epidemic caused due to viruses (particularly the Novel Coronavirus) could materially adversely affect overall business sentiment and environment, particularly if such outbreak is inadequately controlled. The spread of any severe communicable disease may also adversely affect the operations of our customers and suppliers, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The outbreak of Novel Coronavirus has resulted in authorities implementing several measures such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place orders, and shutdowns. These measures have impacted and may further impact our workforce and operations, the operations of our customers, and those of our respective vendors and suppliers. There is currently substantial medical uncertainty regarding

44

Novel Coronavirus and no government-certified treatment or vaccine is available. A rapid increase in severe cases and deaths where measures taken by governments fail or are lifted prematurely, may cause significant economic disruption in India and in the rest of the world. The scope, duration and frequency of such measures and the adverse effects of Novel Coronavirus remain uncertain and could be severe. Our ability to meet our ongoing disclosure obligations might be adversely affected, despite our best efforts. If any of our employees were suspected of contracting Novel Coronavirus or any other epidemic disease, this could require us to quarantine some or all of these employees or disinfect the facilities used for our operations. In addition, our revenue and profitability could be impacted to the extent that a natural disaster, health epidemic or other outbreak harms the Indian and global economy in general.

The outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty. It is likely that the current outbreak or continued spread of Novel Coronavirus will cause an economic slowdown and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. The spread of Novel Coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices (including employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, and suppliers. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the outbreak, and our ability to perform critical functions could be harmed.

The extent to which the Novel Coronavirus further impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions taken globally to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others. Existing insurance coverage may not provide protection for all costs that may arise from all such possible events. We are still assessing our business operations and system supports and the impact Novel Coronavirus may have on our results and financial condition, but there can be no assurance that this analysis will enable us to avoid part or all of any impact from the spread of Novel Coronavirus or its consequences, including downturns in business sentiment generally or in our sector in particular. The degree to which Novel Coronavirus impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions taken to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. The above risks can threaten the safe operation of our facilities and cause disruption of operational activities, environmental harm, loss of life, injuries and impact the wellbeing of our people.

Further in case the lockdown is extended, it could result in muted economic growth or give rise to a recessionary economic scenario, in India and globally, which could adversely affect the business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition of our Company.

54. Significant differences exist between Ind AS, Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as US GAAP and InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), which investors may be more familiar with and consider material to their assessment of our financial condition.

Our audited summary statements of assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2021 and audited summary statements of profit and loss (including other comprehensive income), cash flows and changes in equity for the Fiscal 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the Indian Accounting Standards notified under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Ind AS Rules, the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the SEBI Circular and the Prospectus Guidance Note.

We have not attempted to quantify the impact of US GAAP, IFRS or any other system of accounting principles on the financial data included in this Draft Letter of Offer, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US GAAP, IFRS or any other accounting principles. US GAAP and IFRS differ in significant respects from Ind AS and Indian GAAP. Accordingly, the degree to which the Audited Financial Information included in this Draft Letter of Offer will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Ind AS, Indian GAAP and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in this Draft Letter of Offer should accordingly be limited.

45

55. Political, economic or other factors that are beyond our control may have adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The Indian economy is influenced by economic developments in other countries. These factors could depress economic activity which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business andfuture financial performance.

We are dependent on domestic, regional and global economic and market conditions. Our performance, growth and market price 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 services may be adversely affected by an economic downturn in domestic, regional and global economies.

Economic growth is affected by various factors including domestic consumption and savings, balance of trade movements, namely export demand and movements in key imports, global economic uncertainty and liquidity crisis, volatility in exchange currency rates, and annual rainfall which affects agricultural production.

Consequently, any future slowdown in the Indian economy could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition. 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.

56. A slowdown in economic growth in India could cause our business to suffer.

We are incorporated in India, and all of our assets and employees are located in India. As a result, we are highly dependent on prevailing economic conditions in India and our results of operations are significantly affected by factors influencing the Indian economy. A slowdown in the Indian economy could adversely affect our business, including our ability to grow our assets, the quality of our assets, and our ability to implement our strategy.

Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and hence our results of operations, may include:

  • any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation;

  • any scarcity of credit or other financing in India;

  • prevailing income conditions among Indian consumers and Indian corporations;

  • changes in India’s tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies;

  • political instability, terrorism or military conflict in India or in countries in the region or globally, including in India’s various neighboring countries;

  • prevailing regional or global economic conditions; and

  • • other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India

Any slowdown in the Indian economy or in the growth of the sectors we participate in or future volatility in global commodity prices could adversely affect our borrowers and contractual counterparties. This in turn could adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.

57. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties, including adverse application of corporate and tax laws, may adversely affect our business, prospects and results of operations.

The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Such changes, including the instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy.

The Government of India has issued a notification dated September 29, 2016 notifying Income Computation and Disclosure Standards (“ ICDS ”), thereby creating a new framework for the computation of taxable income. The

46

ICDS became applicable from the assessment year for Fiscal 2019 and subsequent years. The adoption of ICDS is expected to significantly alter the way companies compute their taxable income, as ICDS deviates from several concepts that are followed under general accounting standards, including Indian GAAP and Ind AS. In addition, ICDS shall be applicable for the computation of income for tax purposes but shall not be applicable for the computation of income for minimum alternate tax. There can be no assurance that the adoption of ICDS will not adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

  • the General Anti Avoidance Rules (“ GAAR ”) have been made effective from April 1, 2017. The tax consequences of the GAAR provisions being applied to an arrangement could result in denial of tax benefit amongst other consequences. In the absence of any precedents on the subject, the application of these provisions is uncertain. If the GAAR provisions are made applicable to our Company, it may have an adverse tax impact on us.

  • a comprehensive national GST regime that combines taxes and levies by the Central and State Governments into a unified rate structure, which came into effect from July 1, 2017. We cannot provide any assurance as to any aspect of the tax regime following implementation of the GST. Any future increases or amendments may affect the overall tax efficiency of companies operating in India and may result in significant additional taxes becoming payable. If, as a result of a particular tax risk materializing, the tax costs associated with certain transactions are greater than anticipated, it could affect the profitability of such transactions.

In addition, unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment laws governing our business, operations and group structure could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws or may require us to apply for additional approvals. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects. 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.

Any increase in taxes and levies, or the imposition of new taxes and levies in the future, could increase the cost of production and operating expenses. Taxes and other levies imposed by the central or state governments in India that affect our industry include customs duties, excise duties, sales tax, income tax and other taxes, duties or surcharges introduced on a permanent or temporary basis from time to time. The central and state tax scheme in India is extensive and subject to change from time to time. Any adverse changes in any of the taxes levied by the central or state governments may adversely affect our competitive position and profitability.

58. Financial instability in both Indian and international financial markets could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

The Indian financial market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, particularly in emerging market in Asian countries. Financial turmoil in Asia, Europe, the United States and elsewhere in the world in recent years has affected the Indian economy. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have an adverse effect on the securities of companies in other countries. A loss in investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in in the Indian economy in general. Any global financial instability, including further deterioration of credit conditions in the U.S. market, could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur again and could harm our results of operations and financial condition.

The Indian economy is also influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries. This includes, but is not limited to, the conditions in the United States, Europe and certain economies in Asia. Financial turmoil in Asia and elsewhere in the world in recent years has affected the Indian economy. Any worldwide financial instability may cause increased volatility in the Indian financial markets and, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the Indian economy and financial sector and its business.

47

Although economic conditions vary across markets, loss of investor confidence in one emerging economy may cause increased volatility across other economies, including India. Financial instability in other parts of the world could have a global influence and thereby impact the Indian economy. Financial disruptions in the future could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. The global credit and equity markets have experienced substantial dislocations, liquidity disruptions and market corrections.

There are concerns that a tightening of monetary policy in emerging markets and some developed markets will lead to a moderation in global growth. In response to such developments, legislators and financial regulators in the United States and other jurisdictions, including India, have implemented a number of policy measures designed to add stability to the financial markets. However, the overall long-term impact of these and other legislative and regulatory efforts on the global financial markets is uncertain, and they may not have had the intended stabilizing effects. Any significant financial disruption in the future could have an adverse effect on our cost of funding, loan portfolio, business, future financial performance and the trading price of the Equity Shares.

59. Inflation in India could have an adverse effect on our profitability and if significant, on our financial condition.

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 salaries, and other expenses relevant to our business.

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 pass on to our customers, whether entirely or in part, and the same may adversely affect our business and financial condition. In particular, we might not be able to reduce our costs or increase our rates to pass the increase in costs on to our customers. In such case, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Further, the GoI 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.

60. Foreign investors are subject to foreign investment restrictions under Indian law that limits our ability to attract foreign investors, which may adversely impact the market price of the Equity Shares.

As an Indian Company, we are subject to exchange controls that regulate borrowing in foreign currencies, including those specified under FEMA. Such regulatory restrictions limit our financing sources for our projects under development and hence could constrain our ability to obtain financing on competitive terms and refinance existing indebtedness. In addition, we cannot assure you that the required approvals will be granted to us without onerous conditions, or at all. Limitations on foreign debt may adversely affect our business growth, results of operations and financial condition.

Further, under the foreign exchange regulations currently in force in India, transfers of shares between nonresidents and residents are freely permitted (subject to certain exceptions) if they comply with the pricing guidelines and reporting requirements specified by the RBI. If the transfer of shares, which are sought to be transferred, is not in compliance with such pricing guidelines or reporting requirements or fall under any of the exceptions referred to above, then the prior approval of the RBI will be required. Additionally, shareholders who seek to convert the Rupee proceeds from a sale of shares in India into foreign currency and repatriate that foreign currency from India will require a no objection/ tax clearance certificate from the income tax authority. There can be no assurance that any approval required from the RBI or any other government agency can be obtained on any particular terms or at all.

61. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an independent agency may harm our ability to raise financing.

48

Any adverse revisions to India’s credit ratings international debt by international rating agencies may adversely affect our ability to raise additional overseas financing and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. This could have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our growth on favourable terms or at all, and consequently adversely affect our business and financial performance and the price of our Equity Shares.

62. 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 is evolving and subject to change. Such changes may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any such changes in applicable law and policy. For example, the Government of India implemented a comprehensive national goods and services tax (“ GST ”) regime with effect from July 1, 2017, that combined multiple taxes and levies by the Central and State Governments into a unified tax structure.

Our business and financial performance could be adversely affected by any unexpected or onerous requirements or regulations resulting from the introduction of GST or any changes in laws or interpretation of existing laws, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations relating to GST, as it is implemented. The Government has enacted the GAAR which have come into effect from April 1, 2017.

The Government of India has announced the union budget for Fiscal 2024 and the Ministry of Finance has notified the Finance Act, 2024 (“ Finance Act ”) on February 15,2024 pursuant to assent received from the President, and the Finance Act will come into operation with effect from April 1, 2024 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. We cannot predict whether any amendments made pursuant to the Finance Act would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Unfavourable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new, laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. 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. Our Company has not made relevant provisions for the same, as on date. Any such decisions in future or any further changes in interpretation of laws may have an impact on our results of operations. We may incur increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with such new requirements, which may also require significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business, results of operations and prospects.

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.

63. The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Hostilities, terrorist attacks, civil unrest and other acts of violence could adversely affect the financial markets and our business.

The occurrence of natural disasters, including cyclones, storms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, fires, explosions, pandemic disease and man-made disasters, including acts of terrorism and military actions, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. 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.

49

64. We are subject to regulatory, economic, social and political uncertainties and other factors beyond our control.

We are incorporated in India and we conduct our corporate affairs and our business in India. Consequently, our business, operations, financial performance will be affected by interest rates, government policies, taxation, social and ethnic instability and other political and economic developments affecting India.

Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and hence our results of operations may include:

  • any exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of currency controls and restrictions on the right to convert or repatriate currency or export assets;

  • any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, resulting in an adverse effect on economic conditions in India and scarcity of financing for our expansions;

  • prevailing income conditions among Indian customers and Indian corporations;

  • epidemic or any other public health in India or in countries in the region or globally, including in India’s various neighbouring countries;

  • hostile or war like situations with the neighboring countries;

  • macroeconomic factors and central bank regulation, including in relation to interest rates movements which may in turn adversely impact our access to capital and increase our borrowing costs;

  • decline in India's foreign exchange reserves which may affect liquidity in the Indian economy;

  • downgrading of India’s sovereign debt rating by rating agencies; and

  • difficulty in developing any necessary partnerships with local businesses on commercially acceptable terms and/or a timely basis.

  • Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy or certain regions in India, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition and the price of the Equity Shares.

65. Financial instability in other countries may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets.

The Indian market and the Indian economy are influenced by economic and market conditions in other countries, particularly emerging market countries in Asia. Although economic conditions are different in each country, investors’ reactions to developments in one country can have adverse effects on the securities of companies in other countries, including India. A loss of investor confidence in the financial systems of other emerging markets may cause increased volatility in Indian financial markets and, indirectly, in the Indian economy in general. Any worldwide financial instability could also have a negative impact on the Indian economy. Financial disruptions may occur again and could harm our business, our future financial performance and the prices of the Equity Shares.

The outbreak of Novel Coronavirus has significantly affected financial markets around the world. Any other global economic developments or the perception that any of them could occur may continue to have an adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global market liquidity and restrict the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to capital, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and reduce the price of our Equity Shares. Any financial disruption could have an adverse effect on our business, future financial performance, shareholders’ equity and the price of our Equity Shares.

THE GLOBAL ECONOMY

Global Macroeconomic Variables

Global growth is projected to fall from an estimated 3.4 percent in 2022 to 2.8 percent in 2023, then rise to 3.0 percent in 2024. The rise in central bank rates to fight inflation and Russia’s war in Ukraine continue to weigh on economic activity. The rapid spread of COVID-19 in China dampened growth in 2022, but the recent reopening has paved the way for a faster-than-expected recovery. An already fragile global economy has been hit by several shocks, including higher-than-expected global inflation, particularly in the United States and major European economies, tighter financial conditions, a worse-than-expected slowdown in China due to COVID-19 outbreaks and subsequent lockdowns, and more detrimental effects from the conflict in Ukraine. However, it is anticipated that these sporadic shocks will be resolved in the short- to medium-term, and that, with proper fiscal stimulus and inflation control, the world GDP will eventually improve.

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN ECONOMY

INTRODUCTION

Strong economic growth in the first quarter of FY23 helped India overcome the UK to become the fifth-largest economy after it recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic shock. Real GDP at constant prices (2011-12) in the first quarter of 2023–24 is estimated at Rs. 40.37 trillion (US$ 484.94 billion), showing a growth of 7.8% as compared to the first quarter of 2022-23 estimated at Rs. 37.44 trillion (US$ 449.74 billion). Given the release of pent-up demand and the widespread vaccination coverage, the contact-intensive services sector will probably be the main driver of development in 2022–2023. In 2023-24 (April-September), India’s service exports stood at US$ 164.89 billion. Furthermore, India’s overall exports (services and merchandise) in 2023-24 (April-September) were estimated at US$ 376.29 billion. Rising employment and substantially increasing private consumption, supported by rising consumer sentiment, will support GDP growth in the coming months.

Future capital spending of the government in the economy is expected to be supported by factors such as tax buoyancy, the streamlined tax system with low rates, a thorough assessment and rationalisation of the tariff structure, and the digitization of tax filing. In the medium run, increased capital spending on infrastructure and asset-building projects is set to increase growth multipliers, and with the revival in monsoon and the Kharif sowing, agriculture is also picking up momentum. The contact-based services sector has largely demonstrated promise to boost growth by unleashing the pent-up demand over the period of April-December 2022. The sector's success is being captured by a number of HFIs (High-Frequency Indicators) that are performing well, indicating the beginnings of a comeback.

India has emerged as the fastest-growing major economy in the world and is expected to be one of the top three economic powers in the world over the next 10-15 years, backed by its robust democracy and strong partnerships.

India's appeal as a destination for investments has grown stronger and more sustainable as a result of the current period of global unpredictability and volatility, and the record amounts of money raised by India-focused funds in 2022 are evidence of investor faith in the "Invest in India" narrative.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

India is primarily a domestic demand-driven economy, with consumption and investments contributing to 70% of the economic activity. With an improvement in the economic scenario and the Indian economy recovering from the Covid19 pandemic shock, several investments and developments have been made across various sectors of the economy.

Indian Logistic Industry

The warehousing, industrial, and logistics (WIL) sectors are projected to be crucial for attaining India's vision of being a US$ 5 trillion economy by FY25. The warehouse and logistics industry has benefited the most from the COVID-19 epidemic, increasing its share from 2% in 2020 to 20% in 2021. Because of the growing shift from discretionary to essential internet buying during the COVID-19 epidemic, the e-commerce industry became more appealing and attractive.

The expansion of this industry is likely to be aided by a robust economy, government efforts to improve infrastructure, and a favourable business environment. Increasing consumerism and a huge consumer base are fostering the growth of retail and e-commerce in India. The Indian retail sector's market size is predicted to increase at a CAGR of 9% between 2019 and 2030, totalling more than US$ 1.8 trillion. Large international funds and corporations have invested in warehousing developers and operators to grow their reach and geographical footprint, which are the sector's key differentiators. The Government of India has taken many initiatives to strengthen the sector's infrastructure, including the establishment of dedicated freight corridors and the extension of road and rail networks, to improve connectivity and decrease travel times. Another critical governmental intervention has been the sector's digital transformation, projects such as Digital India, Bharat Net, and the National Logistics Portal would aid in the industry's digitization. Furthermore, the government has announced the establishment of logistics parks and warehouses across the country to provide appropriate storage facilities for enterprises. The warehouse sector has grown rapidly in recent years, fuelled by the expansion of e-commerce, solid infrastructure, the adoption of GST, and the advent of organized

68

retail. The recently implemented National Logistics Policy intends to reduce India's logistics costs from the double digits of GDP to the single digits by 2030.

The Indian logistics industry is growing, due to a flourishing e-commerce market and technological advancement. The logistics sector in India is predicted to account for 14.4% of the GDP. The industry has progressed from a transportation and storage-focused activity to a specialised function that now encompasses end-to-end product planning and management, value-added services for last-mile delivery, predictive planning, and analytics, among other things. One of the key drivers of this expansion is projected to be the rise of India's logistics industry, which employs 22 million people and serves as the backbone for various businesses. The logistics sector in India was valued at US$ 250 billion in 2021, with the market predicted to increase to an astounding US$ 380 billion by 2025, at a healthy 10%-12% year-on-year growth rate. Moreover, the government is planning to reduce the logistics and supply chain cost in India from 13-14% to 10% of the GDP as per industry standards.

The industry is crucial for the efficient movement of products and services across the nation and in the global markets. The logistics business is highly fragmented and has over 1,000 active participants, including major local players, worldwide industry leaders, the express division of the government postal service, and rising start-ups that focus on e-commerce delivery. The industry includes transportation, warehousing, and value-added services like packaging, labelling, and inventory management. With the advent of technology-driven solutions such as transportation management systems (TMS) and warehouse management systems, India's logistics industry has witnessed tremendous development in recent years (WMS). These solutions have assisted logistics firms in increasing operational efficiency, lowering costs, and improving customer service. As depicted in the below pie chart (left), representing the segment-wise breakup of the logistics sector in FY21. Roads have the largest percentage share of 73% followed by rail (18%), water (5%) and air (5%).

The below pie chart (right) represents the fragmented structure of the Indian logistics industry.

Warehousing Industry

A warehouse is an essential component of corporate infrastructure and one of the primary enablers in the global supply chain. the Indian warehousing market is predicted to reach US$ 34.99 billion (Rs. 2,872.10 billion), expanding at a CAGR of 15.64% from 2022 to 2027. Modern warehouse facilities and technology-driven solutions have changed the warehousing sector in India in recent years. With increased demand and supply throughout the years, the Indian warehousing industry is gaining traction. The key players are third-party logistics (third-party logistics) and e- commerce enterprises, which are growing into tier 2 and 3 cities and eventually increasing their proportion of secondary marketplaces. Businesses are transitioning to a hub-and-spoke model while also implementing technology to simplify operations, with an eye on the larger picture of ease, efficiency, and sustainability.

Grade A warehouses are modernized buildings created specifically to meet the needs of warehouse logistics. They feature the most up-to-date technology, superior building materials, a prime location, and a convenient traffic interchange. Grade B objects are outdated buildings that must be rebuilt to satisfy modern warehouse logistics standards.

As depicted in the below chart, India saw a 21% year-over-year increase in the total stock of Grade A and B warehouse space in the top eight cities in 2021. The total warehousing capacity is expected to be 287 million square feet by the end of 2021, up from 238 million square feet the previous year. Grade A stock in India was 134 million square feet, representing a 5-year CAGR of 29.9%. Among the eight major cities, the three largest cities in the country, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, contribute more than half of the warehousing stock.

As demonstrated in the below pie chart, 3PL/Logistics has remained the top segment in terms of warehouse space demand for the last five years. Various e-commerce areas, including retail, groceries, pharmacy, and food delivery, are likely to grow substantially as consumers shifted their purchasing habits from offline to online. COVID-19 has increased eCommerce adoption, increasing demand for online delivery of both essential and non-essential commodities. While the share of manufacturing demand from the Auto & Ancillaries and Engineering sectors has declined during the epidemic, demand from other consumption-based sectors such as Retail and FMCG has increased.

Interest rate risk results from changes in prevailing market interest rates, which can cause a change in the fair value of fixed-rate instruments and changes in the interest payments of the variable-rate instruments. Our operations are funded to a certain extent by borrowings. Our current loan facilities carry interest at variable rates as well as fixed rates. We mitigate risk by structuring our borrowings to achieve a reasonable, competitive cost of funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms, that our counterparties will perform their obligations, or that these agreements, if entered into, will protect us adequately against interest rate risks.

Liquidity risk

Adequate and timely cash availability for our operations is the liquidity risk associated with our operations. Our Company’s objective is to all time maintain optimum levels of liquidity to meet its cash and collateral requirements. We employee prudent liquidity risk management practices which inter-alia means maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

98

Credit Risk

We are exposed to the risk that our counterparties may not comply with their obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. We are exposed to credit risk from our operating activities, primarily from trade receivables.

We consider our customers to be creditworthy counterparties, which limits the credit risk, however, there can be no assurance that our counterparties may not default on their obligations, which may adversely affect our business and financial condition.

BASIS OF ALLOTMENT

Subject to the provisions contained in the Issue Materials, the Articles of Association and the approval of the Designated Stock Exchange, being [●], our Board will proceed to Allot the Rights Equity Shares in the following order of priority:

  • a) Full Allotment to those Eligible Equity Shareholders who have applied for their Rights Entitlements of Rights Equity Shares either in full or in part and also to the Renouncee(s) who has or have applied for Rights Equity Shares renounced in their favour, in full or in part, as adjusted for fractional entitlement.

  • b) Eligible Equity Shareholders whose fractional entitlements are being ignored and Eligible Equity Shareholders with zero entitlement, would be given preference in allotment of one Additional Rights Equity Share each if they apply for Additional Rights Equity Shares. Allotment under this head shall be considered if there are any unsubscribed Rights Equity Shares after allotment under (a) above. If number of Rights Equity Shares required for Allotment under this head are more than the number of Rights Equity Shares available after Allotment under (a) above, the Allotment would be made on a fair and equitable basis in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, being [●], and will not be a preferential allotment.

  • c) Allotment to the Eligible Equity Shareholders who having applied for all the Rights Equity Shares offered to them as part of this Issue, have also applied for Additional Rights Equity Shares. The Allotment of such Additional Rights Equity Shares will be made as far as possible on an equitable basis having due regard to the number of Equity Shares held by them on the Record Date, provided there are any unsubscribed Rights Equity Shares after making full Allotment in (a) and (b) above. The Allotment of such Rights Equity Shares will be at the sole discretion of our Board in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, being [●], as a part of this Issue and will not be a preferential allotment.

  • d) Allotment to Renouncees who having applied for all the Rights Equity Shares renounced in their favour, have applied for Additional Rights Equity Shares provided there is surplus available after making full Allotment under (a), (b) and (c) above. The Allotment of such Rights Equity Shares will be made on a proportionate basis in consultation with the Designated Stock Exchange, being [●], as a part of this Issue and will not be a preferential allotment.

  • e) Allotment to any other person, subject to applicable laws, that our Board may deem fit, provided there is surplus available after making Allotment under (a), (b), (c) and (d) above, and the decision of our Board in this regard shall be final and binding.

  1. The amount to be transferred from the ASBA Account to the separate bank account opened by our Company for this Issue, for each successful Application;

  2. The date by which the funds referred to above, shall be transferred to the aforesaid bank account; and

  3. The details of rejected ASBA applications, if any, to enable the SCSBs to unblock the respective ASBA Accounts.

INVESTORS MAY PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RIGHTS EQUITY SHARES CAN BE TRADED ON THE DESIGNATED STOCK EXCHANGE ONLY IN DEMATERIALIZED FORM.

The procedure for availing the facility for Allotment of Rights Equity Shares in this Issue in the dematerialised form is as under:

  1. Open a beneficiary account with any depository participant (care should be taken that the beneficiary account should carry the name of the holder in the same manner as is registered in the records of our Company. In the case of joint holding, the beneficiary account should be opened carrying the names of the holders in the same order as registered in the records of our Company). In case of Investors having various folios in our Company with different joint holders, the Investors will have to open separate accounts for such holdings. Those Investors who have already opened such beneficiary account(s) need not adhere to this step.

  2. It should be ensured that the depository account is in the name(s) of the Investors and the names are in the same order as in the records of our Company or the Depositories.

  3. The responsibility for correctness of information filled in the Application Form vis-a-vis such information with the Investor’s depository participant, would rest with the Investor. Investors should ensure that the names of the Investors and the order in which they appear in Application Form should be the same as registered with the Investor’s depository participant.

  4. If incomplete or incorrect beneficiary account details are given in the Application Form, the Investor will not get any Rights Equity Shares and the Application Form will be rejected.

  5. The Rights Equity Shares will be allotted to Investors only in dematerialized form and would be directly credited to the beneficiary account as given in the Application Form after verification or demat suspense account (pending receipt of demat account details for resident Eligible Equity Shareholders holding Equity Shares in physical form/with IEPF Authority/in suspense, etc.). Allotment Advice, refund order (if any) would be sent through physical dispatch, by the Registrar to the Issue but the Investor’s depository participant will provide to him the confirmation of the credit of such Rights Equity Shares to the Investor’s depository account.

135

  1. Non-transferable Allotment Advice/refund intimation will be directly sent to the Investors by the Registrar to the Issue, on their registered e-mail address or through physical dispatch, if the e-mail address is not available.

  2. Renouncees will also have to provide the necessary details about their beneficiary account for Allotment of Rights Equity Shares in this Issue. In case these details are incomplete or incorrect, the Application is liable to be rejected.

  3. Dividend or other benefits with respect to the Equity Shares held in dematerialized form would be paid to those Equity Shareholders whose names appear in the list of beneficial owners given by the Depository Participant to our Company as on the date of the book closure.

  4. Resident Eligible Equity Shareholders, who hold Equity Shares in physical form and who have not furnished the details of their demat account to the Registrar to the Issue or our Company at least two Working Days prior to the Issue Closing Date, shall not be able to apply in this Issue.
