Discussion on Saroja Pharma Industries India Limited IPO:

    Avoid…..

    1. They are mainly into trading and with IPO money looking to start a manufacturing unit. We need to see after IPO how much they can generate revenue, margins and ROCE from manufacturing.

    2. There is no growth in the company from Fy22 to Fy23. No growth means getting valuation is difficult.

    3. Asking P/E of 31x for a trading company is 32x which looks on higher side.
