The issue consists of 975484 fresh equity shares (worth Rs. 5.66 cr.), and an Offer for Sale (OFS) of 1928516 shares (worth Rs. 11.18 cr.). The issue opens for subscription on September 29, 2023, and will close on October 05, 2023. The minimum application to be made is for 2000 shares and in multiples thereon, thereafter. Post allotment, shares will be listed on NSE SME Emerge. The issue constitutes 26.99% of the post-IPO paid-up capital of the company. The company is spending Rs. 2.60 cr. (15.44%) for this IPO process and from the net proceeds, it will utilize Rs. 2.67 cr. for working capital, and Rs. 0.39 cr. for general corporate purposes. 

Fedex Securities Pvt. Ltd. is the sole lead manager and Skyline Financial Services Pvt. Ltd. is the registrar of the issue. Nikunj Stock Brokers Ltd. is the market maker for the company.
