Indiamart IPO: Assessment

  • IPO is small size with only 10% being offed to Retail Investors.
  • Indiamart has a dominant position in offering a B2B online trading platform to MSMEs. It enjoyed 60% market share in online B2B classifieds space in India in FY2017, according to KPMG
  • Intel Capital (Mauritius), Amadeus IV DPF and Accion Frontier Inclusion Mauritius are partly offloading a portion of their holdings through this issue.
  • IndiaMart will not receive any proceeds from the issue.
  • IndiaMart surplus cash on hand stands at Rs. 685 crore. It derives subscription based revenue from paid suppliers. 
  • The management has stated that reported profits are lower due to tax provisions coupled with one time FVTPL( fair value through profit or loss) adjustments and ESOP.
  • Indiamart IPO is commanding GMP of about Rs. 100/- and subject to application price of Rs. 1400.
  • IndianMart IPO could garner good support from FIIs.
  • Based on P/E, IndiaMart IPO has been priced aggressively.
  • At this point of time I expect moderate to good subscription from FIIs to the issue and based on their response to the issue, I intend to apply in IndiaMart IPO.
