Bhavik Joshi Business Head, INVasset PMS, noted "The financial trajectory has been notable, with PAT growing from Rs 16.8 crore in FY23 to Rs 227.9 crore in FY25, driven by an asset-light redevelopment model that yields high returns without excessive leverage. A RoNW of over 41% and PAT margins exceeding 40% in FY25 reflect operational leverage from scale and project timing. However, the IPO is being offered at a P/E of 32.19 on FY25 earnings—relatively elevated compared to even established peers, suggesting a valuation premium baked into future performance expectations."

"From a macro standpoint, luxury housing in Mumbai remains a structurally undersupplied theme, with redevelopment projects offering long-term monetization visibility. For those with a medium- to long-term horizon, the offering represents an opportunity to participate in a niche, high-margin real estate play with momentum—but one that demands disciplined capital allocation," he added.

Proceeds from the fresh issue will be used for investment in its subsidiaries, Richfeel Real Estate Pvt Ltd, Dhyan Projects Pvt Ltd and Tryksha Real Estate Pvt Ltd for part-funding the development and construction cost of its ongoing projects, Amalfi, The Arcadian and Varun, respectively; besides, a portion will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Anand Kamalnayan Pandit-promoted company is a real estate developer engaged in the construction of residential and commercial premises in Mumbai, Maharashtra.

It enters the public market with a distinct position in Mumbai’s high-value real estate corridor. Its dominance in the ultra-luxury redevelopment segment across western suburbs like Juhu, paired with limited supply and rising aspirational demand in the over Rs 2.5 crore housing bracket, offers it a structurally favorable market. The company's ability to command a premium—approximately 10–22% over Juhu’s average market pricing—demonstrates strong brand recall and customer trust, reinforced by its successful project execution and curated lifestyle offerings.
