💰 Financial Performance

Revenue Growth by Segment

Total revenue grew by 61.2% YoY, reaching INR 101.94 Cr in FY25 compared to INR 63.25 Cr in FY24. The rental segment contributes approximately 60-65% of total sales, while the trading segment's contribution has increased, driving the overall volume growth but impacting blended margins.

Geographic Revenue Split

The company operates a PAN-India service network with a focus on major IT hubs. While specific regional percentages are not disclosed, the strategy involves expanding from Tier 1 cities into Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets to capture underserved enterprise demand.

Profitability Margins

Net Profit Margin (PAT Margin) declined from 20.3% in FY24 to 12.8% in FY25. This compression is primarily due to the increased share of the lower-margin IT trading business compared to the high-margin rental business.

EBITDA Margin

EBITDA margin moderated to 44.3% in FY25 from 61.5% in FY24, a decrease of 1,720 basis points. This was driven by the cost of materials and services consumed rising by 171% YoY to INR 46.6 Cr as trading activities scaled.

Capital Expenditure

The company maintains a large asset base to support its rental model. Net block of Property, Plant, and Equipment (PPE) is a significant portion of the balance sheet, with depreciation for FY25 standing at INR 27.2 Cr, up 26.5% from INR 21.5 Cr in FY24, reflecting continuous investment in new IT hardware.

Credit Rating & Borrowing

CRISIL reaffirmed a 'CRISIL BBB/Stable' rating in September 2025 for INR 20 Cr of bank facilities. Borrowing remains low with a gearing ratio of 0.05x as of March 31, 2025, and long-term borrowings of INR 4.54 Cr.

⚙️ Operational Drivers

Raw Materials

IT Hardware (Laptops, Desktops, Servers, and Storage) and Computer Accessories represent the primary 'raw materials' or traded goods, with purchase of traded goods costing INR 34.77 Cr in FY25 (34% of revenue).

Import Sources

Sourced primarily from global IT Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) with operations in India and international distribution hubs.

Key Suppliers

Direct partnerships with major OEMs such as Dell, HP, and Lenovo are utilized to ensure price benefits and access to the latest technology cycles.

Capacity Expansion

The company is expanding its product portfolio to include AI infrastructure, robotics, drones, and 3D printing equipment to meet evolving enterprise needs beyond standard computing.

Raw Material Costs

Cost of materials and services consumed rose to 45.7% of revenue in FY25 from 27.2% in FY24, reflecting the strategic shift toward higher-volume trading.

Manufacturing Efficiency

Efficiency is measured by asset utilization rates; higher utilization of the rental fleet directly drives EBITDA margin expansion by spreading fixed depreciation costs.

Logistics & Distribution

Logistics costs are optimized through a pan-India network of in-house engineers and support partners to ensure guaranteed uptime and rapid replacement.

🌍 External Factors

Industry Trends

The industry is shifting from ownership to usage models (OPEX over CAPEX). The IT rental market is currently under-penetrated in India, providing a long runway for growth as enterprises prioritize flexibility and uptime.

Competitive Landscape

Faces intense competition from both organized and unorganized players, leading to pricing pressure and the need for service differentiation.

Competitive Moat

Moats include a 30-year operational legacy, scale-based procurement advantages, high customer switching costs due to integrated service/maintenance, and a nationwide service network.

Macro Economic Sensitivity

Highly sensitive to corporate IT spending and the shift toward 'as-a-service' models; India's status as an IT offshoring destination supports long-term demand.

Consumer Behavior

Enterprises are increasingly seeking 'near-zero downtime' and 'free upgrades,' favoring rental models that mitigate the risk of owning depreciating assets.

Geopolitical Risks

Global supply chain disruptions for IT components (semiconductors) can impact the availability and cost of new equipment.

⚖️ Regulatory & Governance

Industry Regulations

Complies with the Companies Act, 2013 and SEBI (LODR) Regulations. Operations are subject to e-waste management and environmental pollution norms regarding toxic chemical leaching from hardware.

Environmental Compliance

Focuses on reducing e-waste by prolonging equipment lifespan through diligent maintenance and ensuring safe disposal of non-functional hardware.

Taxation Policy Impact

Rental expenses are 100% deductible as operating costs for clients, providing a tax-efficient alternative to asset ownership. The company's effective tax rate was approximately 27.5% in FY25.

Legal Contingencies

The company reported no disqualification of directors and maintains an adequate internal audit system. No specific high-value pending court cases were detailed in the provided MDA or financial notes.

⚠️ Risk Analysis

Key Uncertainties

Technological obsolescence is the primary risk; if IT hardware cycles shorten, the company may face higher-than-expected depreciation or asset write-downs. Market saturation in Tier 1 cities could also slow growth.

Geographic Concentration Risk

While expanding, the company remains concentrated in the Indian market, making it sensitive to domestic economic cycles and IT sector performance.

Third Party Dependencies

High dependency on major IT OEMs for equipment supply and warranty support.

Technology Obsolescence Risk

High risk due to rapid changes in IT hardware; mitigated by a 'Continuous Upgrade Program' and a diversified product portfolio including emerging tech.

Credit & Counterparty Risk

Credit risk exists from extending rental terms to customers; the company manages this through customer selection and credit monitoring.
