Has focus on customer education through vast library of content via

Risks at higher valuations
FSN E-Commerce Ventures Limited (Nykaa) IPO: Assessment
As per RedSeer Report, which was rnaged and paid for by the company, Nykaa has a large BPC market opportunity of Rs 1,120 billion growing at 12% per annum to Rs 1,981 billion by the year 2025.
Nykaa fashion opportunity which at present is Rs 3,794 billion is expected to grow at 18% per annum to Rs 8,702 billion in 2025.
Nykaa is well placed to capitalize on this opportunity by offering a superior customer experience, guarantee of authenticity, ability to identify contemporary trends, and deep meaningful relationships with brands.
Nykaa has been able to create strong consumer following which is reflected in 70% repeat purchase.
Nykaa is known are for commitment to Authenticity: Nykaa has developed systems and processes to ensure that the products sold on its platform are authentic, and build trust among consumers and brands.
Nykaa has put in place a profitable tech platform as well as a capital efficient business model.
The revenue grew 38% YoY to Rs. 2,441 cr in FY21, even as lockdown impacted Q1 sales. For Q1FY22, revenue grew to Rs. 817 cr, as fashion business ramped-up.
At the higher price band of Rs 1125, the offer is made at around 21.71 times Mcap/FY2021 sales. Nykaa’s FY22E Mcap/revenue may end up in range of 17x and appears high. However it is similar to other Indian unicorns some of which trade even higher at this juncture.
To Apply or Not
Nykaa is Well-placed to capitalize on favorable trends in its markets, which have excellent growth potential.
As on 27-10, Nyakka is reported to be commanding premium of Rs. 600 plus.
Valuations are rich and there is considerable euphoria which can subside.
Zomato’s successful IPO and encouraging post-listing performance has buoyed investor sentiment towards online tech startups.
I intend to apply in FSN E-Commerce Ventures (Nykaa) IPO.
May give Listing Gains.
A rush of IPOs to cash on current market sentiment poses a risk. Large IPOs like Paytm may drain out considerable liquidity from the system.
In my view even if the euphoria around the IPO may go down at the time of listing, it may still be able to return say 25% premium on a conservative estimate.
As only 10% is reserved for retail issue is likely to see heavy subscription.
Excellent Anchor book response adds to confidence. .
