Review and Recommendation of InvestorZone is: 3/10 [ The financial data given in the DRHP is not enough to gauze the performance of the company. Therefore, nothing concrete can be concluded. If someone is really looking to invest in the diagnostic sector, then they can look for Dr. Lal Path and Thyrocare, which are available at good valuation and growing rapidly.  ]

    There are lot of companies in diagnostics business. Every nook and corner in India is filled up with such companies. So, competition is really tough among these companies. If someone is looking to invest in the diagnostic business, then they can look at a bigger name like Dr. Lal or Thyrocare. If somebody is looking to invest in just for listing gain, then can take risk depending upon the subscription. If Qib cross >5x, they can apply for listing gain.
