Salebhai Internet Limited IPO
(i) Mr. Vishwavijay Singh, Mrs. Purba Kalita, and Mr. Anand Varani have identified a market gap, wherein people migrating within Indian and abroad and goods representing their culture were mostly in short supply. After studying migration trends among Indian citizens, they observed that most people moved to fast-growing cities like Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi,Kolkata, and Mumbai – either due to employment opportunities, education, or marriage. The data on migration in the 2011 Census also revealed that 2 out of every 5 Indians are migrants, which makes for a whopping 40% Diaspora population.

(ii) So they quickly see this as an opportunity and to cater this, the E-commerce business was launched on 15th September 2015 under the brand of Salebhai Internet.

(iii) Salebhai.com is an Indian e-commerce portal that enables people living away from home order a range of specialties directly from their hometowns. It is also a one-stop solution for those who want to discover regional products from across India.

Salebhai also offers other products such as Handicrafts, Paintings, Puja items, Handloom goods, and Herbal & Wellness items.

Recommendation on Salebhai Internet Limited IPO:

We don't know when the company will get into profit. The E-commerce giants  Flipkart and Snapdeal formed many years back are still struggling to get into profit. Very tough competition is there in the E-commerce business. Continous infusing of money is required for good marketing and offers as compare to its rival to be remain floating in the market. We all have seen how Snapdeal and Flipkart business got hampered after the entry of Amazon. In the future, we gonna see all these small businesses being acquired by big players and will have 2-3 players ruling the market.

    GOOD to see issue withdrawn. such loss making company not deserve to get subscription anyway.

    Very risky bet.
    consider posting losses and negative P/E it is avoid for me.
    it would be better to take a call at some later stage post listing if the financial gets better.

    The logic of Pricing the Salebhai IPO at Rs.105
    1. The Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group) has invested Rs. 15000 on 30th July 2016 in Salebhai and in return company has issued 1500 Equity Shares at Rs.10.

    2. Then again on 18th Jan 2018, Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group) had invested 6.50 Cr in Salebhai and in return company has issued 68421 Equity Shares at Rs.950.

    3. Now just before the IPO, the company has issued 6,15,879 bonus shares to Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group) on 30th March 2018. So ultimately, the Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group) now has total shares 684310 Equity Shares at Rs.95 each.

    Now you can see how they have done pricing of IPO Rs.10 up from the average price of acquisition of Bennett Coleman and Co. Ltd. (Times Group).

    Salebhai is issuing 22,59,600 equity shares which are equivalent to 26.58% of the company’s equity. The company is in losses in the last three years, so it is hard to judge the valuation at which the company is coming. However, we came to know that the Salebhai is backed by The Times of India Group. If they able to successfully raise money then this would be the first B2C e-commerce company to raise money from an IPO.

    The company’s business requires high working capital for smooth day to day operations. To run the high working capital business company should able to produce sufficient cash flows else they have to seek other means of getting credit which may put pressure on the margins.
    As per financials, the company has negative cash flows from operations in last 2 years, so how they gonna manage their working capital is a big question to answer going forward.

    SOME OF THE ONLINE REVIEWS OF THE PRODUCTS SOLD ON SALEBHAI.COM WHICH I FOUND ON GOOGLE.
    (i) Rama Alwar 
    Please don’t ever buy from this site. I made an order on 4th August 2017. More than one month passed, they didn’t ship my order and even after requesting for cancellation of my order they didn’t refund the money. Cheaters. They don’t post negative reviews on their site which I posted. I think they post positive reviews by themselves.

    (ii) Lourdu Vinoth
    India’s very worst online shopping because very bad customer service and this online shopping provide customer care number doesn’t work and customer care email doesn’t respond so this is online shopping? One month after still not dispatch order and some orders force to canceled. Bad experiences.

    (iii) Testing Testing
    Very Poor quality of product. Don’ t waste your money go to your near and buy sweets and else what you need. Website’s Product price is triple with the actual MRP price.

    (iv) ALL ABOUT STRENGTH
    Very Bad experience ordered for 800gm sweets(Bal Mithai) and received one box of the only 400gm and no one is picking the phone on the helpline for the refund of money. very bad service.
