K solves as name mentioned competitor by Vertexplus prospectus, you cannot compare with Crocs (Ksolves) with Dolphins (Vertex). If you read K solves prospectus excellent capital structure with dividend track while entering capital market, with just limited shares 4,10,000 shares in 2020
Hi, can anyone knows why is there a Rs 3cr debt in company's books ? Why would a service company require so much debt which is also increasing neither are they repaying it through internal accruals nor through the IPO proceeds
Just as an FYI, on the website, their US address is shown as VertexPlus Technologies Limited, 5070 Jonquilla Dr. , Alpharetta, Georgia 30004 which is in a residential area, probably a Home.
- top line stagnant for last three years. - 27-28 asking P/e. - No firm plan of deployment of funds. with top line of ~ 20 cr, what will company do with 10-12 cr Working capital? - seems company is doing everything and nothing. in the RHP, company is present in machine learning, AI, technology consulting, cloud, risk consultancy etc...actually whatever one can think of IT company, they have put it up as their business.
Easy to Avoid.

Personally feel this as good opportunity than mcon n systango 1. Will not list in discount 2. Good chance of allotment 3. If not feeling safe, cash the the listing gain and escape By the way मुझे लगता है कि Digvi को इन तीनों ने मिलकर ही पीटा है। Again win of sme over Main board I think SEBI should rework on allotment policy. At least one change is must i. e. 5% to sHNI: Instead of allotment of 14 lots to SHNI n bHNI 5 lots for each is more than sufficient. This will increase allotees n reduce selling pressure on listing. bHNI 15 % (by reducing 05% from qib) with old allotment rule will bring more fun.
Dear @Lokes Sir I m going to apply systango & Mcon. Is it good bet to apply in vertex ? Any chance for negative listing? Thanks a lot for all your guidance.

Respected Investors! We apologise for this post which may come across as a little strongly worded but read through it and you'd hopefully understand the rationale behind being so.
It really doesn't come as a surprise but rather a shock to witness companies like this trying to raise capital from unsuspecting investors. The reasons behind us saying so are many but we'd keep it extremely short as it simply doesn't warrant our time or the effort.
The tiniest research into the company and it becomes clear that they lack any credible tech prowess. The business is literally registered and run out of a residential building located on the outskirts of Jaipur city in Rajasthan. Talking of IP, there is none held in company's name. So much so that even their trademark is not a property of the company but owned by Sandeep Pahariya. There are no credible case studies on IT transformations for clients available and the client list looks all cooked up, much like their financials about which the less said the better.
It is painful to see gullible market participants fall in for such utter garbage and loose their hard earned money, bit by bit. There is no doubt such experiences leave a really bitter aftertaste turning such people into strong detractors of the stock market.
To end it, we are 'STRONGLY STAYING AWAY' and suggest that anyone planning on investing in such supposed fly by night companies posing as IT consultants conduct a thorough research and a detailed due diligence prior to committing their hard earned money. A lot may have been mentioned in the RHP but learn to read between the lines is all we'd like to say. Best Wishes & Happy Investing!

@VentureStack Partners Thanks for providing very useful inputs regarding Vertexplus. I have read on this forum previously also that office is being run from residential premises of owner. Financials never looked satisfying with absence of growth in revenue and net profit margin around 8% only. It should not happen in case of an IT Company. Was considering to skip this one and your post has further strengthened my belief. Thanks again 👍🙏
Thanks @Ipo Share! We're glad we could be of some help. Credit must also go to this forum and all its members like yourself for sharing their perspectives and help a prospective investors in the process.
Dear @ANSA, your point is well taken but there is a certain rationale behind us posting on this forum besides a few others where we are a participant. We also understand of your expressed participation in this IPO and that your statement may be coming from a position of an implied bias and there is nothing wrong in that. While there are always a lot of helpful fellow members sharing the positives and their rationale behind participating in an IPO, we try and share thoughts keeping the medium-long term investor in mind. We only comment where we have the much required vertical expertise and where we feel an investor's hard earned money may get trapped. Hope we're able to put your query to rest. Best Wishes & Happy Investing!
Thank you @SachinK, @HopeIsLife, and @Avenue and all other readers who took the time to read through our typically longer than normal messages on the board. We're glad you found merit in our synthesis.
@SachinK A cloud infrastructure is so much more than just setting up a data centre site or maybe two. While the cost of storage has come down significantly and has followed Moore's law till now, a cloud infrastructure built specifically for third party usage still requires an enormous initial capital spend, a recurring cost of maintenance, obsolescence, and replacement of the hardware to keep it abreast with the software updates, manpower costs, and then there are massive energy costs involved. Site and country level BCP that includes building data redundancies on the network are a given which actually multiply the cost structure. All of this requires a continuous heavy investment. Giants in the space like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft and limited Indian players like Reliance can support and fund such an infrastructure owing to their intrinsic use cases. There is a reason why a lot of Indian IT giants have shied away from entering this space and its a simple function of risk-reward which isn't as favourable as it looks. While we would refrain from making any direct investment advise, what we would suggest is to maintain an extremely strict discipline; discipline in buying, discipline in sustainable goal setting and profit booking and then sticking to that discipline even if comes at the cost of missing on a certain part of profits. Also, don't limit yourself and study global markets as well since they might present a very favourable entry point into the global market leaders. Economics, mathematics, statistics, and technology, the more you are versed with these four pillars, the better you'd be poised for favourable outcomes. We wish you the very best!
@HopeIsLife Your request is gratifying for sure and we thank you for your generosity. We are laser focused on separating grain from chaff and there are limited industry verticals we operate in. The small nuggets shared here are actually condensed extracts published by our India team meant for the global consortium of investors we represent. Since we do not track all the entire gamut of stocks in the Indian primary and secondary market, it would not be possible to share thoughts on all the IPOs. Please accept our apologies for the same.
@Avenue We haven't yet performed a deep dive research on Systango which comes across as a custom web/ mobile app and SEO agency with two solutions focusing on ed-tech (Swotter LMS) and fin-tech (Shootih), the verticals that have lost the most sheen and steam. It would be interesting to see how small players of this size pivot their business model and offerings in the age of AI platforms like ChatGPT. If they are not able to build solutions on top of such AI platforms (services, APIs, etc. like 'Notion' by Notion Labs), they would be history sooner than they think. Hope this gives and idea of how to take your investments in tech and ensure they're future proof.
Best Wishes & Happy Investing!
P.S. Much like ChatGPT which is developed by OpenAI now hosted on MS Azure, the demo of 'Notion' developed by Notion Labs is a must experience piece of tech that highlights the power of AI and how it will change all traditional software development models for good.
@VentureStack, How you can say thier client list is cooked up ? Have you verified with client ? Company may be small but their business have huge scope in future related to cloud based services. As Small Size issue and QIB have 50 % quota so I hope it will manage to list with good premium.
Greetings @Hostpacker! Your concern is well founded and to answer that, let's just say that we happen to verify the same with a senior level govt. functionary, a committee chair in a major NGO body, two founder promoters, and a CXO level executive upon their enterprise's association with this so called company. The response we got should better be left to an astute imagination. Lack of any case studies on their portal further corroborated our doubts and the financials only cemented them in stone. Mauritius based funds as anchor investors and putting up peanuts for participation isn't too confidence inspiring. What was surprisingly humorous though was the fact that the company doesn't even own its trademark. Seems like somebody is more keen on earning lifelong royalties for lending his brand to the company.
Next, we checked their physical premises which is located at a dingy outpost in the fringes of Jaipur city and could easily make out that even accommodating their claimed workforce of '350+ team of experts' just wouldn't be possible in such a facility. Forget 350, the place cannot accommodate half of those employees in a single shift in that residential house which happens to be their office. They took 'work from home' a bit too literally it seems. Their quoted Noida address in Priska Towers actually lies vacated since 2021. Their Georgia US location is a place of residence again. Their Vancouver Canada address has a Starbucks but no signs of their office on the 2nd floor of the building. In fact, the floor is available for lease. Looks like they ran away from here too. Their Singapore office is supposedly operated out of a co-working facility and is a virtual address. And then, wait for the funny bit, their quoted Malaysia address actually houses an adult education school by the name of 'Work And Study Singapore'. ISO certifications anybody?
We would also like to gather your understanding when you say 'their cloud business'. What do you mean by it and what makes you think that they are a cloud services company?
We are a sponsor at one of the largest tech incubators in the silicon valley and are privy to thousands of such fly-by-night businesses white-labelling themselves as 'cloud or tech business' all for the purpose of raising funds. Mark our words, wait for another 6-12 months and you'd see every Indian tech IPO using the term 'AI' as it turns into the new fad and cloud becomes a passé.
We hope this should put your query to rest as we strictly put our money where our mouth is. Your investments should ride on your own well informed decisions and it should only be you to decide if the business is really investment worthy. Best Wishes!
Thanks for your kind words of appreciation @SachinK & @Hostpacker! We'd certainly try and share information wherever we feel we are able to add value or a perspective to the discussion. Best Wishes & Happy Investing!

Your details are indirectly approved by qibs as their participation is very low.
Greetings @SJogi! Thanks for your kind words of appreciation.
We are of the opinion that no small retail investor should ever decide to invest or not to invest basis somebody else's actions or the lack of it. These 'somebodys' may include not only lead anchors and QIBs but also certain HNI Investors who may exert high influence on public sentiment and tilt outcomes for a very short term. The examples of people who blindly followed the once upon a time superstars of the financial kingdom, people like Bernie Madoff and more recently Samuel Bankman-Fried and lost not millions but billions should serve as biggest examples of why not to act like a sheep in this world of wolves that we call markets.
Conducting own research and due diligence is a must and once that's done, one may look at the larger public sentiment to gather a broader perspective. Best Wishes & happy Investing!

@VentureStackPartners. Thanks for your reviews and your efforts to safeguard investors. I request you kindly suggest ipo review site. Since you expressed inability to review all IPOs. Many investors are trapped and incurring heavy losses due lack of no recommendations. Thanks
Thanks for your kind words @Boyani and @SantoshIPOInvestor! Much appreciated!
@Boyani, we suggest to start with self analysing the DRHP and RHP documents in detail rather than relying on an external source whose views may be inherently biased or even riddled with ignorance. One may always seek clarification on platforms like this forum in case there are any doubts over things mentioned in the DHRP/ RHP. The cost of a good detailed report may run into thousands and lacs if you do decide to buy one and its just not feasible enough for a retail investor to spend that kind of money unless a major investment is planned. Hope this answers your question. Best Wishes & Happy Investing!
After writing a long essay and spread negativity amongst boarders it is very easy to wind up with a small quote that everyone should do his own due diligence. Please do not spend so much time here in writing such script, it can reward you more if you do the same for Bollywood. I too understand that unless there is some vested interest nobody will take such pain but this cause loss to innocent readers. Even person like me who has 37 years of involvement in stock market got carried away with your message and placed order of Rs.102/- in the pre open. I am not blaming you, but blaming myself that despite my busy schedules I spent time reading your bull shit write up.
@VentureStack Partners... with your too negative and extremely harsh comments, you not only made many investors skipping from applying, but even before listing your continued negative sequential prevented many from buying in preopen. Your too negative comments also forced many to sell in preopen in Panic.
Predictions can go wrong but yours looked toooo details, professional and easy to believe, you even conducted a door to door survey. I hold one lot and will wait to see when it becomes a penny stock.
What hurts most is that after all your prediction falling on head and sideways, in spite of giving a proper justification ( i know it's hard after being caught on wrong foot) you are still attacking people who raise their voice against your incorrect suggestions or even miss guidance.
Best of luck in future investigations and studies ...

in comments sections, ideally brokers/firms shouldn't be allowed to post, they can post reviews on ipo page recommendation section instead of comments.....comments should be for individuals only.....
@VentureStack Partners, Your analysis might be right. I am not here to negate your research. The time will tell us whether your opinion is right or wrong. Nothing can be hidden for long.
At the same time, I am surprised by your repeated posts here attacking the IPO. Without any vested interest no one would spend so much time and effort posting messages here.
If you had posted one single message explaining your research/analysis no one would have questioned you. After that it would have been left to the investors to decide. But in this case, you deliberately tried to form an opinion against this IPO by posting repeated messages. It is not professionalism.
