Bhavik Joshi, Business Head at INVasset PMS, said revenue rose from Rs 772 crore in FY23 to more than Rs 3,000 crore in FY25, indicating strong growth momentum. However, he noted that cumulative losses of over Rs 1,400 crore during FY23–FY25 reflect continued pressure on profitability.
Joshi said the valuation and loss profile make the IPO a long-term execution play. While funds from the issue will be deployed toward offline expansion, technology and marketing, he said the timeline for operational improvement will be crucial.
He added that investors with higher risk appetite and a long-term horizon may consider limited participation, while conservative investors may prefer to wait until the company demonstrates consistent profitability.
