Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Used ICT hardware (laptops, enterprise-grade computers, servers, and high-end SSDs) represents the primary 'raw material' for refurbishment, accounting for the bulk of the cost of goods sold (COGS).
Import Sources
Sourced globally through a network of 601 suppliers across India, UAE, and the USA to ensure a steady pipeline of used technology assets.
Key Suppliers
Key strategic partnerships for procurement and refurbishment support include industry leaders such as Microsoft, HP, and Lenovo.
Capacity Expansion
Current global capacity is north of 120,000 units per month. The company is taking more space to accommodate larger enterprise-grade hardware and servers to meet growing institutional demand.
Raw Material Costs
Gross Profit of INR 154.4 Cr in H1 FY26 on revenue of INR 752.2 Cr implies raw material/procurement costs are approximately 79.5% of revenue, improved from 83.1% in H1 FY25.
Manufacturing Efficiency
The company processed approximately 300,000 units in H1 FY26 against a monthly capacity of 120,000 units, indicating a capacity utilization rate of approximately 41.6% for the half-year period.
Logistics & Distribution

External Factors
Industry Trends
The global circular technology economy is growing as ESG mandates force corporations to dispose of assets responsibly. The industry is shifting from unorganized to organized players who can provide credible warranties.
Competitive Landscape
Competes with unorganized local refurbishers and new product sales from OEMs. The organized nature and scale (120k units/month) provide a cost and trust advantage.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on a robust procurement network (601 suppliers), a proprietary refurbishment process, and the 'Electronics Bazaar' brand which provides a 100% comprehensive warranty, creating high switching costs for B2B clients.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Sensitive to global IT spending cycles and corporate refresh cycles; high inflation may actually benefit the company as customers shift from new to more affordable refurbished ICT products.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing acceptance of 'affordable and credible' refurbished products over expensive new hardware, especially in price-sensitive segments and ESG-conscious corporations.
Geopolitical Risks
Potential U.S. tariffs on electronics; however, management currently anticipates no near-term impact on their specific refurbished product category.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Subject to e-waste management rules and international trade regulations for used electronics. Compliance with global quality standards is maintained across facilities in India, UAE, and USA.
Environmental Compliance
The company operates within the circular economy framework, helping corporations meet sustainability and privacy goals through responsible asset disposal.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate for H1 FY26 was approximately 12.6% (INR 7.4 Cr tax on INR 58.6 Cr PBT).
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
The primary uncertainty is the working capital intensive nature of the business, with negative cash flow from operations historically due to high inventory (INR 414.7 Cr) and receivable (INR 174.8 Cr) requirements.
Geographic Concentration Risk
While global, the company has significant infrastructure and financial exposure in India, the UAE, and the USA.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on OEM partners (HP, Lenovo) for refurbishment certifications and supply of genuine parts/support.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Inherent risk in IT distribution; mitigated by OEM compensation agreements when new models are launched and existing models require discounting.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Receivables increased from INR 67.6 Cr (Mar-25) to INR 174.8 Cr (Sep-25). The company offers 30-35 days credit to channels but claims a history of zero bad debts.
