OYO has filed a Confidential DRHP with SEBI and received its approval yesterday, which means the IPO process has formally cleared its first major hurdle. This is a significant milestone, but it is important to understand what it does and does not mean for investors.
1. The share count problem
Because the DRHP was filed confidentially, the exact number of outstanding shares post-conversion of CCPS is still not publicly known. Any price being quoted in the unlisted market right now is based on incomplete information. If the actual share count after CCPS conversion turns out to be higher than assumed, the per-share price will come down proportionately. Take every unlisted price you see today with a large pinch of salt until the full public DRHP is out.
2. SEBI approval is just step one
SEBI's approval clears the regulatory gate, it does not mean the IPO is imminent. The actual launch timing will depend entirely on market conditions and what valuation institutional investors are willing to pay at that point in time. There is no fixed date. The gap between SEBI approval and IPO opening can stretch from a few months to well over a year.
3. The valuation question
What ultimately matters is not what unlisted buyers are paying today, it is what public market investors will be willing to pay at IPO. That price will be set by market conditions, comparable listed peers, and institutional demand at the time of the offer. The IPO price will likely land in the same zone as where unlisted shares are trading today. You are not getting a meaningful discount by buying early in the unlisted market.
4. The math people are ignoring
If you buy unlisted shares today, work through the full holding period honestly:
a) Time from SEBI approval to actual IPO launch โ unknown, typically 6 to 18 months
b) 6-month post-listing lock-in for most unlisted shareholders
c) Total illiquidity window could easily stretch to 12โ24 months from today.
Discount your expected return across that entire period. When you do this honestly, the unlisted price rarely looks as attractive as it first appears.
Our view
SEBI approval is good news for OYO, but it is not a signal for retail investors to rush into the unlisted market. Wait for the public DRHP, study the actual share count and dilution, watch where institutional investors price the IPO, and decide then. There is no urgency. Patience will serve you far better than FOMO here.

The world is quietly registering in India.
In the last 6 months:
1. 58 foreign companies. 24 countries.
2. J.P. Morgan in February
3. University of Surrey in March
4. Mouser Electronics in April
5. Two Taiwanese banks in May โ same week
April alone:
14 registrations. One every two working days.

Zoho has never taken a single rupee from investors.
But last year, they quietly wrote an โน87 Cr cheque into a tiny startup in Thiruvananthapuram.
Here's the story nobody is talking about ๐งต
_____________________________________________
1. First โ understand what this startup actually does.
Netrasemi builds chips.
Not apps. Not SaaS. Not AI wrappers.
Actual silicon. That you can hold in your hand.
_____________________________________________
2. Most people don't know how hard this is.
When a software startup ships a bug โ fix it tomorrow.
When a chip startup ships a bug
a) 6-18 months of delay.
b) โน10-50 Cr to try again
c) Start from zero
d) No patch. No hotfix. No second chances.
_____________________________________________
3. Here's how a chip actually gets made:
a) Years of writing code (not the kind that runs on laptops)
b) Send a file to Taiwan for manufacturing
c) Wait 3-6 months
d) Open the package
e) Find out if 5 years of work was right or wrong
That's it. That's the whole process.
_____________________________________________
4. The three founders?
All ex-Intel. Ex-Conexant. Ex-Hitachi Japan.
60+ years of combined semiconductor experience.
They could've stayed at their comfortable corporate jobs.
They didn't.
_____________________________________________
5. Their chip โ the A2000 โ runs AI directly on the device.
No cloud. No internet. No latency.
Think:
a) Drones patrolling borders
b) Factory robots detecting defects
c) Defence cameras that work offline
This is what "edge AI" actually means.
_____________________________________________
6. And the kicker?
The chips that currently run India's surveillance cameras and defence drones are made by:
a) Qualcomm ๐บ๐ธ
b) MediaTek ๐น๐ผ
c) HiSilicon ๐จ๐ณ
India has zero leverage over any of them.
Netrasemi is the first real alternative.
Now back to Zoho.
Sridhar Vembu built a $10B+ company without taking a single dollar from VCs.
When a man like that writes โน87 Cr into someone else's startup โ
you pay attention.
_____________________________________________
7. The numbers from MCA filings:
Valuation โ โน521 Cr Series A
โ โน107 Cr total Zoho's stake โ 13.8%
Founders still hold โ 54% post-funding
Zoho is the single largest external shareholder.
Bigger than the VC that invested across two rounds.
79 engineers. โน125 Cr raised.
India's first edge AI chip is real.
The next 18 months will decide if it becomes a business.

You're holding a Vivo, OPPO, Realme, or OnePlus?
Congratulations โ all four are owned by the same Chinese company.
And together, they've quietly built a โน1 lakh crore business in India.
Nobody is tracking this.
Thread ๐งต
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
1. The company is BBK Electronics, Dongguan, China.
In India it runs 4 completely separate legal entities โ different boards, different auditors, different offices.
But MCA filings don't lie. Based on FY25 Numbers.
โข Vivo India โโโ โน41,395 Cr
โข OPPO India โโโ โน31,981 Cr
โข Realme India โโ โน17,597 Cr
โข OnePlus India โ โน12,983 Cr
Combined: โน1,03,956 Cr
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
2. For context โ Samsung India does โน1,11,183 Cr.
So Samsung wins on total revenue.
But strip out Samsung's โน45,930 Cr in exports and non-phone productsโฆ
In domestic India sales? In smartphones only?
BBK has already left Samsung behind.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
3. But here's where it gets interesting.
Samsung earns โน10,915 Cr in EBITDA at 9.8% margin.
All four BBK brands combined? โน2,639 Cr at 2.5%.
Same revenue ballpark.
Samsung earns 4.1x more profit.
BBK is winning market share.
Samsung is winning margins.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
4. Realme is the wildest story in this whole thing.
โน17,597 Cr in revenue.
Zero factory. Zero long-term debt.
Only 296 employees.
Revenue per employee = โน59 crore.
It's not a phone company.
It's a trading entity wearing a brand jersey.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
5. OPPO's balance sheet should give you pause.
Peak revenue FY22: โน57,160 Cr โ bigger than Samsung phones.
FY25 revenue: โน31,981 Cr โ down 38% in one year.
Net worth: still NEGATIVE โน2,931 Cr.
Trade payables: โน18,763 Cr.
Operationally profitable.
Structurally running on supplier money.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
6. In 2022, the ED froze โน465 Cr from Vivo's bank accounts.
Allegation: โน22,842 Cr remitted to China via shell companies and inflated invoices.
Vivo's customers?
They just shifted to OPPO or Realme.
Same parent. Different jersey.
India barely flinched.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
7. The regulatory blind spot nobody talks about:
Combined they likely hold 40%+ of India's smartphone market.
But because they file separately, no regulator sees the full picture.
BBK is playing four hands at the same table.
And winning most of them.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
8. BBK didn't beat Samsung in India.
It surrounded it โ from four directions, wearing four different jerseys.
Samsung still earns 4x more profit.
Has 14,000 employees.
Exports โน46,000 Cr worth of phones globally.
But in your pocket?
It's already BBK's world.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

๐งต Subway India has 963 stores, โน480 Cr revenue & a โน1,596 Cr valuation.
It has never made a profit under its current owners.
Here's the story nobody told you ๐
__________________________________________________
1/ Until 2021, Subway India was 100% owned by Subway International B.V. โ a Dutch entity.
For nearly two decades, Subway International B.V. (SIBV), the Dutch holding arm of the American sandwich chain, held 100% of that entity. India was, in the global Subway lexicon, just another market to license.
In Dec 2021, quietly, Indian investors took over.
No press release. No announcement. Just an MCA filing.
__________________________________________________
2/ The new owner: Everbrands India Ltd.
They signed a fresh 20-year Master Franchise Agreement with Subway International โ giving them rights to operate Subway across India, Sri Lanka & Bangladesh till Dec 2041.
__________________________________________________
3/ Then they renamed the company. Twice.
Subway Systems India โ Eversub India โ Culinary Brands India Pvt. Ltd.
The Subway brand stays. The Indian entity? Completely new ownership, new name, new playbook.
__________________________________________________
4/ The old playbook: Pure franchise model (FOFO). Franchisees run stores. Company collects royalties. Zero capex risk.
The new playbook: Build company-owned stores (COCO). โน0 COCO stores in FY21 โ 522 COCO stores by Oct 2025.
__________________________________________________
5/ Revenue exploded.
FY21: โน51 Cr
FY22: โน85 Cr
FY23: โน172 Cr
FY24: โน355 Cr
FY25: โน480 Cr
Nearly 10ร in 4 years. EBITDA turned positive. Looks great, right?
__________________________________________________
6/ Now look at the bottom line.
FY22: -โน21 Cr
FY23: +โน69 Cr โ one-time income, ignore this
FY24: -โน34 Cr
FY25: -โน38 Cr
โน400 Cr raised from investors. Not one rupee of real net profit.
__________________________________________________
7/ So where did โน400 Cr go?
Dec 2022: โน100 Cr raised @ โน325/share โ implied equity ~โน91 Cr
Jul 2023: โน100 Cr @ โน768/share โ ~โน316 Cr
Jan 2024: โน50 Cr @ โน772/share โ ~โน367 Cr
Aug 2024: โน50 Cr @ โน806/share โ ~โน433 Cr
Jan 2026: โน100 Cr (pref shares) โ โน1,596 Cr (EY Dec'25)
Store build-out. Pure capex.
__________________________________________________
8/ EY valued Subway India at โน1,596 Cr in Dec 2025.
Method:
50% DCF + 50% peer multiples.
The DCF assumes revenue will 7ร by FY31 and EBITDA margins will hit 13.2%.
Ambitious? Very. Impossible? Not quite.
__________________________________________________
9/ Peer comparison (FY26):
a) Jubilant (Domino's): 3.45ร EV/Revenue
b) Westlife (McDonald's): 3.48ร
c) Devyani (KFC/PH): 3.18ร
d) RBA (Burger King): 2.10ร
e) Subway India: 2.20ร
Cheapest in the peer set. Because it's still losing money.
__________________________________________________
10/ The real question:
963 stores. โน480 Cr revenue. โน400 Cr of capital deployed.
Can Subway India hit profitability before its investors run out of patience?
The 20-year franchise clock is ticking.

๐งต THREAD on PPFAS Unlisted Share
One fund.
No bank backing.
No celebrity ads.
No 50-scheme shelf.
Just Parag Parikh Flexi Cap โ and it just crossed โน1.51 lakh crore in AUM.
The story of PPFAS is one of the stranger ones in Indian finance. ๐
-----------------------------------------------------
1/ PPFAS Mutual Fund is owned by an unlisted holding company โ Parag Parikh Financial Advisory Services Ltd.
Founded in 1992.
Still private.
No IPO filed.
The Parikh family holds 74.91% of the parent.
CIO Rajeev Thakkar holds another 5.75%.
Talent is locked into the cap table.
The AUM chart is one of the best hockey sticks in Indian asset management:
โช Mar '15 โ โน572 cr
โช Mar '20 โ โน2,872 cr
โช Mar '22 โ โน24,465 cr
โช Mar '24 โ โน68,337 cr
โช Mar '25 โ โน1,06,360 cr
โช Dec '25 โ โน1,51,045 cr
264ร growth in 10 years. With just 6 schemes.
-----------------------------------------------------
2/ SIPs and Channel Mix for Distribution
โน1,816 crore/month in SIP + STP inflows. 35.29 lakh active SIPs.
Annualised, thatโs ~โน21,800 crore flowing in every year on autopilot โ before lump-sum flows or market returns.
That means ~14% of AUM replenishes itself yearly. Automatically.
The channel mix is what makes PPFAS structurally different from any bank-backed AMC:
โช Direct โ 28.78%
โช Fintech โ 25.82%
โช Regular โ 18.64%
โช National Distributors โ 10.38%
โช RIA โ 9.57%
โช Bank โ 3.30% ๐
HDFC AMC and ICICI Pru scale through bank branches.
PPFAS built scale without renting one.
-----------------------------------------------------
3/ Financials โ 9M FY26 (annualised to FY26E):
โช Revenue โ โน612 cr (+43% YoY)
โช PAT โ โน385 cr (+56% YoY)
โช Operating margin โ ~83%
โช ROE โ ~40%
Q3 FY26 PAT alone came in at โน98.63 cr โ nearly double Q3 FY25โs โน50.98 cr.
Now the interesting part.
FY26 numbers are out for listed peers too.
Forward P/E comparison:
โช PPFAS (unlisted) โ ~36ร
โช HDFC AMC (listed) โ ~40ร
โช ICICI Pru AMC (listed) โ ~48ร
PPFAS โ growing PAT 3โ4ร faster than either โ is now the cheapest of the three on forward earnings.
A rare case where the fastest-growing AMC is also the cheapest.

Care Health Insurance (Unlisted) โ when the numbers speak, the price listens.
๐ Stock: โน165 โ โน118 | Down 28% in 1 year
Why?
๐ด Operating profit flipped to a โน151 Cr LOSS (was +โน48 Cr in FY25)
๐ด PAT crashed 93% โ from โน151 Cr to just โน12 Cr
๐ด Claims ratio jumped from 65% โ 70%
๐ด Combined ratio now 107% โ paying out more than earning from insurance ops
Premiums grew 14%. Claims grew faster.
The unlisted market saw it coming โ price was falling well before FY26 results dropped.
FY27 will decide if this is a temporary blip or a structural problem.
#CareHealth #UnlistedShares #HealthInsurance #FY26
Care Health Insurance โ FY26 Numbers Drop. And it's not pretty.
Thread ๐
1/ Premium earned jumped to โน7,255 Cr from โน6,347 Cr โ 14% growth. Topline looks solid.
But scroll down and the story changes fast. ๐ด
--------------------------------------------------------
2/ Claims incurred shot up to โน5,051 Cr vs โน4,096 Cr last year.
Claims ratio: 70% (vs 65% in FY25)
More premiums coming in. Even more claims going out.
--------------------------------------------------------
3/ Operating Loss: โน(151) cr in FY26
vs Operating Profit: โน48 Cr in FY25
That's a complete reversal. ๐
--------------------------------------------------------
4/ What happened?
a) Operating expenses surged โ commissions up, insurance business expenses up.
b) Combined ratio blew out to 107% (vs 103%)
When combined ratio crosses 100%, you're paying out more than you're earning from insurance ops.
--------------------------------------------------------
5/ P&L bottom line:
PAT FY26: โน12 Cr
PAT FY25: โน155 Cr
93% drop in net profit. ๐ฌ
Investment income (โน179 Cr interest/dividend) is the only thing keeping them in the black.
--------------------------------------------------------
6/ Balance sheet:
Total assets grew to โน2742 Cr (from โน2372 Cr)
Net current assets: NEGATIVE โน( 8265 Cr )
Borrowings introduced: โน100 Cr โ new debt on books
--------------------------------------------------------
7/ One bright spot:
Gross premium growth rate: 21% (consistent with FY25)
Solvency margin ratio: 1.68x (meets IRDAI requirement)
Book value per share: โน26.77 (up from โน23.93)
--------------------------------------------------------
8/ Verdict:
Care Health is growing fast โ but claims are growing faster.
Underwriting loss is a red flag. For a standalone health insurer, you can't depend on investment income forever to cover ops losses.
FY27 will be the real test. ๐
