The company’s financials are not at all impressive. The major reason behind the same is its initiation of business date. The company has just initiated its business operations. However it also seems that it is showing a lot of haste in getting an IPO listed or itself. The company has not even bagged its first profitable quarter. Post the launch it faced COVID crisis. However, its student count is satisfying.
On the other hand its assets and revenue don’t match up. Also given its high expenses it is unable to book a positive quarter or Financial; year. Hence one should have a definite goal for investing into the company. It can be done for the purpose of diversification. However the most highlighted red flag is its new business venture and early application of IPO.
PROS
- Diversity in product offering. It offers coaching to various courses such as CA, Railways, Banking, Insurance exams etc.
- Its business model qualifies as a pandemic proof model.
CONS
- Highly competitive segment.
