Risk factors

As stated in the offer document

  • Significant Dependence on Food Aggregators

    The company generated 82.20%, 85.61% and 86.51% of revenue from operations in Fiscals 2025, 2024 and 2023 respectively from sales through delivery channels via food aggregators like Swiggy and Zomato. Any adverse changes in aggregator policies, commission rates (currently 18-22% of net value), or operations could severely impact business operations and profitability.

  • Multi-Brand Portfolio Management Risks

    The company operates 10 Key Brands across multiple cuisines and price points, creating significant operational complexity in maintaining consistent quality, managing inventory, and controlling overhead costs. Multi-brand operations may lead to inefficiencies in order fulfillment and extended breakeven timelines for underperforming brands.

  • Historical Losses and Negative Cash Flows

    The company incurred losses of ₹1,699.68 million, ₹1,726.10 million, and ₹3,427.32 million in Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. Additionally, the company has experienced negative cash flows from operating activities of ₹1,019.59 million, ₹1,168.41 million, and ₹1,853.54 million in the same periods.

  • Raw Material Price Volatility and Supply Chain Dependence

    The company's cost of materials consumed represents 36.65%, 39.24%, and 44.95% of revenue in Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. The company lacks long-term agreements with suppliers and is exposed to price fluctuations in key ingredients like oil, rice, dairy, vegetables, and meat, which could significantly impact profit margins.

  • High Employee Attrition Rates

    The company faces extremely high attrition rates of 111.73%, 127.69%, and 116.59% for permanent employees in Fiscals 2025, 2024, and 2023 respectively. This high turnover creates operational inefficiencies, increased recruitment and training costs, and potential disruptions to business operations.

  • Extensive Regulatory Compliance Requirements

    The company requires various licenses, registrations, permits and approvals across 502 service locations including food safety licenses, trade licenses, and establishment permits. Certain material approvals have lapsed or are pending application, and failure to obtain or renew these could result in operational shutdowns or penalties.

  • Technology System Vulnerabilities

    The company's operations heavily depend on centralized order management systems, AI-driven demand estimation, and API connectivity with food aggregators. System failures, cybersecurity breaches, or technology disruptions could severely impact order processing, customer service, and overall business operations.
