⚠️ Risks
- ! Revenue is highly concentrated, with over 95% of income generated from the top 10 customers, making the company vulnerable to the loss or reduced orders from any of these key clients.
- ! There is significant geographic concentration as more than 82% of sales come from Maharashtra, exposing the company to regional economic or market disruptions.
- ! The company relies on a few key raw material suppliers without formal long-term supply agreements, creating potential supply chain vulnerabilities.
- ! Certain promoters and their related entities are engaged in a similar line of business, which could result in conflicts of interest.
- ! Several company vehicles and loans are registered in the name of individual promoters rather than the company, creating potential legal and operational risks.
