Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Material deviations in financial reporting to banks (up to INR 5.90 Cr in debtor statements) pose a significant risk to credit credibility and internal control reliability.
Geographic Concentration Risk
100% of revenue is concentrated in the Indian market, primarily within the state of Gujarat, creating high regional dependency.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on pharmaceutical manufacturers for consistent supply and maintaining distribution margins.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Failure to rapidly digitize the supply chain could lead to loss of market share to more tech-enabled competitors.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Trade receivables of INR 60.99 Cr as of September 2025 indicate high credit exposure to retail pharmacy customers.
