Key Financial Metrics

- Operating since 2000 with over 25 years of industry experience, more than 150 television shows, and a content library exceeding 7,500 hours of original programming.
- One of the few Indian production houses operating at scale across both fiction and non-fiction formats simultaneously.

Key Risks & Challenges

- Revenue is highly dependent on a limited number of broadcasters, film studios, and OTT platforms, making the company vulnerable to changes in customer demand and commissioning decisions.
- Heavy dependence on promoter, senior management, and availability of key creative talent — loss of any key personnel could materially impact content quality and client relationships.
- Project-based revenue model — earnings can be lumpy and unpredictable from quarter to quarter
- SME IPO liquidity risk — limited secondary market trading volumes on NSE SME Emerge platform
- Working capital-intensive business — the company is deploying a significant portion of IPO proceeds (₹55.88 crore) into working capital, which signals high ongoing cash requirements.
