It's surprising to see many stalwarts of Investing fraternity lamenting the sale of #Axiscades share by the promoter without going into the background.
Do they not go through the concall details? No efforts Pundits?
For those who are not aware, the Chairman quite clearly said in Q1 26 concall (42.00 minutes onwards) that concerns had been raised by the JV partners on the promoter being Politically Exposed Person, their shareholding needs to be brought down to below 50%
This sale is quite in line with that.
I don't have anything to say whether Power 930 will be achieved or not, but this is the context of the sale.

I've been staring at Anondita Medicare's numbers for the last two days and I keep asking myself the same question โ is this the next Cupid?
Not in a "buy this stock" way. In a "wait, this setup looks familiar" way.
But here's the thing โ and this is where I want to be honest with you instead of hyping a narrative โ
So this isn't a "which one to buy" post.
It's a "here's exactly where each one is strong, and where each one is exposed" post. Because that's the only way you actually understand if a smaller player has a real shot at closing the distance โ or if it's just wishful pattern-matching.
Let me walk you through why.
1/Cupid was a boring rubber company for years. Then it quietly became a WHO-certified export machine, then a nitrile innovator, then โ out of nowhere โ a โน331 Cr bet on retail through Baazar Style. Each phase looked unrelated until you zoomed out.
Anondita feels like it's mid-transition through that exact same arc right now. Contract manufacturer โ building its own brand โ chasing the same global certifications Cupid already has in hand.
That's the pattern that got my attention.
2/ The Business Models
Anondita: B2B contract manufacturer transitioning into its own brand (the classic "COBRA" playbook โ Contract โ Owned Brand)
Cupid: Already a hybrid โ strong global exports + a fast-scaling domestic FMCG arm
One is becoming what the other already is.
3/ FY26 Financials โ Small vs Scaled
Revenue โข Anondita: โน137.42 Cr โข Cupid: โน357.71 Cr
EBITDA Margin โข Anondita: 37.48% โข Cupid: 32.63%
Net Profit Margin โข Anondita: 24.96% โข Cupid: 30.26%
Interesting โ Anondita is actually more efficient at the operating level right now. Smaller, but tighter.
4/ Where Cupid is simply ahead
โ Only Indian manufacturer with dual-polymer dipping lines (latex + nitrile, zero cross-contamination)
โ Actively developing Nitrile Female Condoms โ a category one single global player has historically monopolized, at 25-35% pricing premium
โ Already holds full WHO/UNFPA prequalification (male + female). Anondita is still in advanced application stages
โ Exports to 125+ countries โ genuine global diversification
This is the gap that matters most. Certifications and global tenders take years to build, not quarters.
5/ Where Anondita actually punches above its size
โ India's first MDSAP certification under ISO 13485:2016 โ one audit clears USA, Canada, Brazil, Japan, Australia. Cupid doesn't have this
โ 100% in-house printing, packaging, boxing โ zero vendor dependency
โ Runs entirely on CNG biofuel โ real energy-cost insulation most peers don't have
These aren't small edges. If Anondita converts these into export wins, the MDSAP shield alone could open doors Cupid still has to fight for.
6/ The Retail Play โ very different philosophies
Cupid's approach:
Buy the ecosystem. โน331.53 Cr into Baazar Style Retail = instant access to 260+ stores, scaling to 500+ in 2-3 years. Expected to add โน150 Cr incremental revenue by FY27. Backed by "Cobra" and "Angel" sub-brand personal care lines.
Anondita's approach:
Build the pyramid brick by brick.
26 Super Stockists โ 195 Distributors โ 4,569 Retailers, concentrated in North, East, West India. Slower, but it's owned infrastructure, not a bought one.
One bought speed. One is earning it the traditional way.
7/ The Forward Maps
Cupid: โน660 Cr revenue target for FY27 โ โน1,150 Cr by FY29, with โน390 Cr net profit. Driven by tenders, premiumization, retail expansion.
Anondita: 60-70% revenue growth targeted for FY27, EBITDA margin normalizing to ~30%.
Big swing factors โ South African government tenders and UNFPA market access by late FY26/early FY27. Long-term raw material security via an in-house latex plantation coming in 2029.
Cupid's map is proven execution. Anondita's map is a bet on catalysts landing on time.
8/ My honest read
Anondita isn't the next Cupid today. It's Cupid at an earlier chapter โ smaller, hungrier, with real structural advantages (MDSAP, in-house ops, energy cost edge) but still missing the global certifications and distribution scale that took Cupid years to build.
Whether it closes that gap depends entirely on execution โ the UNFPA approval, the South African tenders, converting owned-brand into real market share.
That's the thing to track, not the comparison itself.
This is purely my personal analysis for learning and discussion โ not investment advice. Please do your own research before making any decisions.

Tam for EMS industry
India is emerging as a key global electronics manufacturing hub, with the EMS industry expected to grow at 25-30% CAGR over FY24-29E.
Growth is driven by the China+1 shift, electronics exports reaching ~USD48b in FY26 (+25% YoY), and policy support through PLI, INR400b ECMS and semiconductor initiatives.
With India accounting for only 4-5% of the global EMS market, increasing component localization and export-led manufacturing provide a long runway for growth.
EMS companies which will go backwards into component manufacturing are the ones where complete integrated business models will be created

Order won- 435cr for supply of HT & LT cables for Hyderabad Data Center.
Execution time- Aug 2026-March 2027
Note- They are also raising 2000cr via QIP
"By 2030, We Want to Be Recognised Globally as a Diversified Engineering & Solutions Company": Parag Satpute, MD & CEO, Greaves Cotton โ "India Continues to Remain the Centre of Our Operations"
The Context
Greaves Cotton entering a fresh growth phase under its new business strategy, transforming from an engine maker into a diversified engineering company
Parag Satpute (MD & CEO) speaks on FY26 performance, the โน500-700 crore investment plan, Dubai expansion, export strategy, growing focus on energy solutions, and the roadmap to build a globally recognised automotive engineering and solutions company by 2030
FY26 Performance โ Double-Digit Growth
FY26 marked the transition from strategy to execution under the "Greaves Next" strategy
Consolidated revenue grew 18% to โน3,437 crore; standalone revenue rose 19% to โน2,365 crore
Consolidated EBITDA stood at โน239 crore; Operating PBT (Profit Before Tax) at โน154 crore, with margins improving by 210 basis points
Standalone EBITDA reached โน320 crore; Operating PBT โน312 crore
Growth was broad-based: energy solutions growing 20%, mobility solutions 16%, industrial solutions 6%
Also crossed โน1,000 crore in quarterly consolidated revenue during Q4 โ an important milestone
Performance reflects Greaves Cotton's transformation from a 165-year-old single-cylinder engine manufacturer into a diversified engineering company
Today, operates across mobility, energy and industrial solutions, while expanding into electric mobility through Greaves Electric Mobility and in financial services through Greaves Finance
India continues to remain the centre of operations, engineering and manufacturing, with facilities at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Talegaon and Nagpur serving both domestic and export markets
International business contributed 13% of core business revenue in FY26, up from 9% a year earlier
Sees significant opportunities across the Middle East, Africa and Europe
For FY27, focus will remain on disciplined execution, expanding margins, scaling growth opportunities, and maintaining prudent capital allocation while continuing to build a diversified engineering business
Dubai Expansion โ Strategic Rationale
Recently established Greaves International Trading FZE (GITFZE) in Dubai
Marks a key step in strengthening international business under the new strategy
Based in Dubai, will serve as a regional hub for trading, distribution, customer support and supply chain coordination across mobility, energy and industrial solutions businesses
Initially covering the GCC markets, will later expand into the Levant and Africa, reinforcing strategy to deepen customer proximity and expand global footprint
Energy Solutions โ Growing Focus
Mobility will remain a core business, but energy solutions offer significant long-term potential given India's infrastructure, industrial and data centre ecosystems expand
Opportunity extends beyond gensets to integrated power solutions, lifecycle services, remote monitoring and battery energy storage systems
Energy solutions grew 20% in FY26, while aftermarket business expanded around 35%
Going forward, all three verticals โ mobility, energy and industrial solutions โ will remain key growth engines
Investment Plans
Planning an investment of โน500-700 crore to strengthen flexible manufacturing, multi-fuel platforms, advanced powertrain technologies and engineering capabilities across all three businesses
Objective: build long-term competitiveness and multiple growth engines rather than simply adding manufacturing capacity
Capital allocation will continue to be guided by strategic relevance and sustainable value creation
2030 Vision
By 2030, want Greaves Cotton to be recognised globally as a diversified engineering and solutions company
Through new strategy, strengthening technology capabilities, expanding internationally, and moving beyond products to integrated engineering solutions, lifecycle support and long-term customer partnerships
While showcasing Indian manufacturing and engineering on the global stage
Core Theme:
Greaves Cotton's FY26 results โ 18% consolidated revenue growth, margin expansion, and international revenue nearly doubling its share โ mark a decisive validation of its pivot from a legacy single-cylinder engine manufacturer to a diversified mobility-energy-industrial engineering conglomerate; with the new Dubai trading hub anchoring GCC-to-Africa expansion and a fresh โน500-700 crore investment aimed at flexible, multi-fuel manufacturing capabilities, Satpute's strategy bets on energy solutions (up 20%, tied to India's infrastructure and data-centre boom) as the next major growth engine โ positioning the 165-year-old company to reinvent itself as a globally recognised, India-rooted engineering and solutions brand by 2030.
Aimtron Electronics just tagged a fresh all-time high Here's the actual business behind the move.
It isn't a commodity PCB assembler. It's an ESDM player: ~70% of its mix is now "box build" โ full product integration, not just stuffing boards โ which is why it earns a 22.6% EBITDA margin versus the 6โ9% typical of Indian EMS. That single gap is the whole thesis.
The numbers back it: FY26 revenue +89% to โน301 Cr, PAT +79% to โน46 Cr. Order book ~โน600 Cr (โ2x sales) with live RFQs near โน900โ950 Cr โ real forward visibility, not a vibe.
And it fishes in high-barrier ponds: 1โ3 kV data-centre UPS for a Fortune-500, SIL-4 railway safety (Kavach, RDSO approval pending), defence drones, Wi-Fi 6/7 + optical telecom โ plus a just-closed US acquisition (AIC) that opens Fortune-500 supply chains.
The other side, because there always is one: at ~70x, a lot is already in the price. Free cash flow was negative in FY26 (~โโน40 Cr), working capital is heavy, the US deal dilutes margins before it helps, and several marquee wins still rest on single customers.
So four things decide the next leg โ does the 22% margin hold as AIC consolidates, does cash flow turn, does the RDSO nod land, and does a second data-centre-sized customer show up?

The market saw Cyient DLM "miss" FY26: revenue โ17% - It missed the more interesting number.
The order book hit an all-time high โ โน2,417 cr, a record 1.5ร book-to-bill โ while margins rose to their best-ever.
For this kind of business, the order book is a clock and revenue is its echo, about a year later. FY25's weak intake became FY26's soft revenue. FY26's record intake is FY27's promise.
A coiled spring finally loading โ or a backlog that won't convert?

2/ FY26 was a conscious reset, not a slowdown.
Mgmt deliberately exited volatile brand partnerships, upgraded its customer mix and shifted towards higher-value niches.
The result ๐
โช FY26 revenue declined 6.4% YoY to 1,768.6 Cr.
โช But EBITDA grew 7% YoY
โช PBT grew 18.2% YoY
โช PAT grew 4.2% YoY
โช EBITDA margin improved from 6.83% โ 7.81%
โช PBT margin improved from 4.06% โ 5.13%
Mgmt: "These decisions, while tempering near-term revenues, have structurally strengthened our core business. The turnaround is already visible in Q4 FY26."
