business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamations or any revaluation of assets, in the last ten years ” on page 223;
and “Risk Factors - The Pro Forma Financial Information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is not
indicative of our future financial condition or results of operations and may also not be indicative of our actual
results of operations” on page 50.
For further information on our Company’s financial information, see “Financial Information” beginning on page
274.
There are significant differences between Ind AS, Indian GAAP, US GAAP and IFRS. Our Company does not
provide reconciliation of its financial information to IFRS or US GAAP. Our Company has not attempted to
explain those differences or quantify their impact on the financial data included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus and it is urged that you consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on our
financial data. Accordingly, the degree to which the financial information included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with
Indian accounting policies and practices, the Companies Act, Ind AS, and the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Any
reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting policies and practices on the financial disclosures
presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus should, accordingly, be limited.
Our Company’s fiscal year commences on April 1 of each year and ends on March 31 of the next year.
Accordingly, all references to a particular fiscal year (referred to herein as “Fiscal”, “Fiscal Year” or “FY”) are
to the 12 months period ended March 31 of that particular year, unless otherwise specified.
All the figures in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been presented in million or in whole numbers where
the numbers have been too small to present in million unless stated otherwise. One million represents 1,000,000
and one billion represents 1,000,000,000. Certain figures contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus,
including financial information, have been subject to rounding adjustments. Any discrepancies in any table
between the totals and the sum of the amounts listed are due to rounding off. However, figures sourced from
third-party industry sources may be expressed in denominations other than million or may be rounded off to other
than two decimal points to confirm to their respective sources.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any percentage amounts, as set forth in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business”
and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on pages 38,
189, and 393, respectively, and elsewhere in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus have been calculated on the basis
of amounts derived from the Restated Consolidated Financial Information.
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain non-GAAP financial measures and certain other statistical
information relating to our operations and financial performance like restated earnings per Equity Share (basic
and diluted), EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net worth of the company (including non-controlling interest), return
on net worth, Net Asset Value per Equity Share, and certain other statistical information relating to our operations
and financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS
or US GAAP (together, “Non-GAAP Measures”). These Non-GAAP Measures are not a measurement of our
financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP and should not be considered
in isolation or construed as an alternative to cash flows, profit/ (loss) for the years/ periods or any other measure
of financial performance or as an indicator of our operating performance, liquidity, profitability or cash flows
generated by operating, investing or financing activities derived in accordance with Ind AS, Indian GAAP, IFRS
21
or US GAAP. We compute and disclose such non-Indian GAAP financial measures and such other statistical
information relating to our operations and financial performance as we consider such information to be useful
measures of our business and financial performance. These Non-GAAP Measures and other statistical and other
information relating to our operations and financial performance may not be computed on the basis of any standard
methodology that is applicable across the industry and therefore may not be comparable to financial measures and
statistical information of similar nomenclature that may be computed and presented by other companies and are
not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by Ind AS and may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other companies.
Unless stated otherwise, the industry and market data used in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been obtained
or derived from the report titled “Assessment of the pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical delivery industry in India”
dated August 2023 prepared by CRISIL (“CRISIL Report”), which is exclusively prepared for the purpose of
the Offer and publicly available information as well as other industry publications and sources. CRISIL is an
independent agency which has no relationship with our Company, our Promoters, any of our Directors or Key
Managerial Personnel or Senior Management or the BRLMs, and was appointed by the Company pursuant to an
engagement letter dated June 28, 2023. For risks in relation to commissioned reports, see “Risk Factors – This
Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains information from third parties and from the CRISIL Report prepared by
CRISIL, which we have commissioned and paid for purposes of confirming our understanding of the industry
exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such information for making an investment decision
in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.” on page 56.
Industry publications generally state that the information contained in those publications has been obtained from
sources believed to be reliable but their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot
be assured. The data used in these sources may have been re-classified by us for the purposes of presentation.
Data from these sources may also not be comparable.
The extent to which industry and market data set forth in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is meaningful depends
on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are
no standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies
and assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources. Accordingly, no investment decision should
be made solely on the basis of such information. Such data involves risks, uncertainties and numerous assumptions
and is subject to change based on various factors, including those disclosed in “Risk Factors” on page 38.
In accordance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the section “Basis for the Offer Price” on page 140 includes
information relating to our peer group. Such information has been derived from publicly available sources.
Accordingly, no investment decision should be made solely on the basis of such information.
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain data and statistics from the CRISIL Report, which is available

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking
statements generally can be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “can”, “could”,
“continue”, “expect”, “estimate”, “goal”, “intend”, “may”, “likely”, “objective”, “plan”, “purpose”, “project”,
“should” “will”, “will continue”, “will achieve”, “shall” “seek to”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of
similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans or goals are also forward-
looking statements. However, these are not the exclusive means of identifying forward looking statements. All
forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. For the reasons
described below, we cannot assure investors that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
will prove to be correct. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements due to risks or
uncertainties associated with the expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining to
the industry in which our Company and Subsidiaries have businesses and our ability to respond to them, our ability
to successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market
risks, general economic and political conditions in India and globally which have an impact on our business
activities or investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence
in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial
markets in India and globally, changes in laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in our industry.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not
limited to, the following:
• Inability to realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions successfully. Further, if we are
unable to identify expansion opportunities or experience delays or other problems in implementing our
strategy of inorganic growth, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
prospects may be adversely affected.
• Inability to manage our growth if we are not able to efficiently operate, maintain or expand our supply
chain and distribution infrastructure.
• Risks associated with our information technology systems may adversely affect our business and results
of operations.
• Our operations are subject to high working capital requirements, and have incurred substantial
indebtedness. Our inability to maintain an optimal level of working capital or financing required may
impact our operations adversely.
• Failure to maintain optimal inventory levels could increase our operating costs or lead to unfulfilled
customer orders, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects.
• Changes in prescription drug pricing could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
For a discussion of factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations, see “Risk Factors”,
“Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
on pages 38, 189 and 393, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and
could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual gains or losses could
materially differ from those that have been estimated and are not a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect our views as of the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus and are not a
guarantee of future performance. There can be no assurance to investors that the expectations reflected in these
23
forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Given these uncertainties, investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements and not to regard such statements to be a guarantee of our
future performance. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are
based on the currently available information. Although we believe the assumptions upon which these forward-
looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to be inaccurate, and the
forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. None of our Company, Directors, the
Selling Shareholders, and the BRLMs or their respective affiliates have any obligation to update or otherwise
revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with regulatory requirements, our Company will ensure that investors in India are informed of
material developments from the date of filing of the Red Herring Prospectus until the date of Allotment. The
Selling Shareholders shall, severally and not jointly, ensure that the Company is informed of material
developments in relation to the statements and undertakings specifically undertaken or confirmed by it in relation
to itself and its respective portion of the Offered Shares in the Red Herring Prospectus until the date of Allotment.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFER DOCUMENT
This section is a general summary of certain disclosures and terms of the Offer included in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus and is neither exhaustive, nor purports to contain a summary of all the disclosures in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus or all details relevant to prospective investors. This summary should be read in conjunction
with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, including “Risk Factors”, “The Offer”, “Capital Structure”, “Objects of the Offer”,
“Industry Overview”, “Our Business”, “Financial Information”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments”, “Offer
Procedure” and “Main Provisions of the Articles of Association” on pages 38,65,85,127,154,189,274,
393,427,463, and 484 respectively.
Our primary line of business is in the distribution of healthcare products to retail pharmacies, hospitals and
healthcare clinics in India. We add value to the healthcare product manufacturers that work with us by providing
them reach and accessibility to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics through our integrated and technology driven,
pan-India healthcare products distribution platform. As of March 31, 2023, our 73 warehouses located across the
country, last-mile delivery infrastructure and relationships with pharmacies, hospitals and clinics enables
healthcare product manufacturers to make their products available to a wide range of customers.
The target addressable market for pharmaceutical distributors in India is valued at ₹2.7 trillion in the Financial
Year 2023 and is expected to grow at 10% to 11% CAGR from the Financial Year 2023 to the Financial Year
2028. The distribution of pharmaceutical products in India is extremely fragmented with approximately 65,000
distributors, as of March 31, 2023, that generally service limited local areas only, unlike developed markets where
large nationwide distributors occupy a dominant market position. In the Indian pharmaceutical distribution
market, traditional local distributors have a 90-92% market share while large/national distributors have a 8-10%
market share. (Source: CRISIL Report)

INTERNAL RISKS
38
1. We may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions successfully. Further, if
we are unable to identify expansion opportunities or experience delays or other problems in implementing
our strategy of inorganic growth, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and
prospects may be adversely affected.
We have completed a number of acquisitions of distributors in India to expand our business and increase our
customer base. Since the inception of our Company in the Financial Year 2018, we have acquired 32 entities
in the healthcare products distribution industry. For details relating to our past acquisitions, see “History and
Certain Corporate Matters – Details regarding material acquisitions or divestments of
business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamations or any revaluation of assets, in the last ten years” on page
223.
Further, in the future, we intend to supplement our organic growth with strategic acquisitions of regional and
local distributors that can add to our customer and supplier base. We seek to actively explore expansion
opportunities through strategic acquisitions of regional and local distributors to, among others, (i) consolidate
our position in markets in which we currently operate, (ii) enter and grow in synergistic product adjacencies
and (iii) enter new geographies. We are constantly in the process of evaluating such opportunities, some of
which we may realize in the imminent future and which may be material to our business, financial condition
or results of operations. However, our strategy of inorganic growth may not be successful, and efforts to
continue and effectively manage our expansion may not be as successful as anticipated. For example, if trade
associations or trade unions (whether at local, state or national levels) were to influence distributors or
pharmaceutical companies in India against inorganic consolidation in the future, we will not be able to
implement our strategy of inorganic growth through strategic acquisitions of regional and local distributors,
which may affect the growth of our business and results of operations. While trade associations and trade
unions have currently not had such an influence towards distributors or pharmaceutical companies in India,
we cannot assure you that this will not occur in the future.
Even if we are able to expand our network as planned, we may not be able to continue to integrate and
optimize a larger network. There can be no assurance that such investments and acquisitions will achieve
their anticipated benefits. To the extent that we fail to identify, complete and successfully integrate
acquisitions with our existing business or should the acquisitions not deliver the intended results, our financial
performance could be adversely affected.
Potential difficulties that we may encounter as part of the integration process could include the following:
• the possibility that the full benefits anticipated to result from the acquisition will not be realized;
• attrition, differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies that
may delay successful integration;
• challenges associated with creating and enforcing uniform standards, controls, procedures and
policies;
• potential ongoing financial obligations, unknown liabilities and unforeseen delays associated with
the acquisition;
39
• possible cash flow interruptions or loss of revenue as a result of transitional matters;
• difficulties in entering markets or lines of business in which we have no or limited direct prior
experience; and
If we are unable to successfully overcome the potential difficulties associated with the integration process
and achieve our objectives following an acquisition, the anticipated benefits and synergies of any future
acquisitions may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Any failure to
timely realize these anticipated benefits could have an adverse effect on our growth, business, financial
condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or opportunities, negotiate attractive terms for
such acquisitions, or expand, improve and augment our existing businesses. The number of attractive
expansion opportunities may be limited, and attractive opportunities may command high valuations for which
we may be unable to secure the necessary financing.
2. We may be unable to manage our growth if we are not able to efficiently operate, maintain or expand our
supply chain and distribution infrastructure.
We commenced our business in January 2018 and have witnessed a growth in revenue from operations at a
CAGR of 36.17% from the Financial Year 2021 to Financial Year 2023. We provide distribution services for
healthcare products to retail pharmacies, hospitals and healthcare clinics in India. Our efforts to efficiently
operate, maintain and expand our distribution infrastructure may be unsuccessful. Our ability to efficiently
operate our distribution infrastructure relies on coordination amongst various stakeholders within our
network, including, among others, our suppliers, transportation providers and our employees. If we fail to
maintain coordination amongst various stakeholders in a synergistic manner, our business, financial condition
and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Further, if we expand our distribution infrastructure too rapidly, we may encounter financial difficulties if the
demand for our services falls short of our increased capacities. On the other hand, if we fail to expand our
infrastructure and geographic reach at the necessary pace, we may lose potential customers and market share,
or a portion of our existing customers’ business to our competitors. The success of our planned expansion
depends upon many factors, including our ability to optimize our distribution network, form relationships
with, and manage an increasing number of, customers nationwide. We also need to be able to anticipate and
respond effectively to competition posed by other healthcare products distributors. If we fail to expand our
business network as planned or if we are unable to compete effectively with other healthcare products
distributors, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Further, as
our business continues to grow, we may not be able to locate desirable sites for new warehousing facilities,
as we compete with other businesses for premises at certain locations or locate sites of desirable scale or
quality. We may be pressured to pay higher rent for the desirable sites for our warehousing facilities due to
competition, which may adversely affect profitability and cash flows. Moreover, in renting and setting up
new logistics and warehousing facilities, we may incur additional expenses towards renovating or re-
designing the warehousing facility to suit our business purpose and purchasing the necessary equipment.
Some of our newly established warehousing facilities may not generate the efficiencies and benefits we
anticipate, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
For example, we have in the past scaled down on warehousing space in certain locations due to slower than
anticipated growth in business. Moreover, we may not be successful in keeping up with technological and
automation improvements or finding suitable automation solutions that meet our needs. The cost of
implementing new technology or automation or expanding our supply chain and distribution infrastructure
can be high and we may not be able to recover such cost if the expected efficiencies from such technology,
automation or expansion are not as anticipated or realized at all. Further, we follow a “hub and spoke” model,
which connects our warehouses and supply points across districts. While we have not faced any such instances
in the past, this model may not be successful or result in benefits that we expect, potentially due to limited
40
storage capacity of our hubs or failure of our hubs for whatever reason, which in turn may hinder our growth
in new cities in a capital and cost-efficient manner.
3. Risks associated with our information technology systems may adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
We leverage technology through our digital solutions such as the Entero Direct B2B application (“Entero
Direct”), whereby our customers have real-time visibility of our product range, pricing, inventory levels,
order status, outstanding balances and promotional offers. Our business relies heavily on our information
systems to obtain, rapidly process, analyze, and manage data to facilitate the purchase and distribution of
inventory items from numerous manufacturers; to receive, process, and ship orders on a timely basis; to
account for other product and service transactions with customers; to manage the accurate billing and
collections for customers; and to process payments to suppliers. We continue to make substantial investments
in our technology infrastructure, including investing in and enhancing our existing technological products
such as the Entero Direct application, ERP systems, CRM application, Teqtic data warehouse and business
intelligence tool, and other technological developments to support our customers and our operations. We
cannot assure you that investments in our technology infrastructure will be successful, as our customers, (a
significant proportion of whom are retailers), may be resistant towards adopting new technologies that we
introduce from time to time, especially since there is currently a relatively low level of technology usage
across retailers in the healthcare market in India. Further, if we fail to adopt new technologies or adapt our
platform to changing customer requirements or emerging industry standards, our business and results of
operations may be adversely affected.
A portion of our information systems are owned and managed by third-party service providers and our
business and results of operations may be adversely affected if our information systems are not successfully
implemented or fail, or to the extent there are data center interruptions. There might be an adverse impact on
our business and results of operations if a third-party service provider does not perform satisfactorily, or if
the information systems are interrupted or damaged by unforeseen events, including due to system integration
issues and the actions of third parties.
Due to the proliferation of cloud-based infrastructure and other services, new technologies, and the increased
sophistication and activities of perpetrators of cyber-attacks, there has been an increased risk associated with
information technology systems. Any failure, interruption, or breach of our operational or information
security systems, or those of our third-party service providers, as a result of cyber-attacks or information
security breaches could disrupt our business, result in the disclosure or misuse of confidential or proprietary
information or personal data, damage our reputation, cause loss of customers or revenue, increase our costs,
result in litigation and/or regulatory action, and/or cause other losses, any of which might have an adverse
impact on our business operations and our financial position or results of operations. Further, it is important
for us to continually upgrade our information technology systems and we may be required to expend
additional resources in this regard. While we have not faced any such material past instances of cyber-attacks
or information security breaches which has impacted our information technology system or our business in
the past, there is no assurance that we will not encounter such instances in the future.
Further, during the course of our operations, given the complex nature of our information technology systems,
they may contain errors or bugs which, if triggered, could have an adverse impact on our operations.
4. Our operations are subject to high working capital requirements, and have incurred substantial
indebtedness. Our inability to maintain an optimal level of working capital or financing required may
impact our operations adversely.
Our business may require significant amount of working capital, and a major portion of our working capital
is utilized towards inventories. As of March 31, 2023, our working capital was ₹6,348.18 million. As of June
30, 2023, we had a sanctioned working capital limit of ₹3,827.00 million. Our growing scale and expansion,
if any, may result in increase in the quantum of current assets. Our inability to maintain sufficient cash flow,
credit facility and other sourcing of funding, in a timely manner, or at all, to meet the requirement of working
capital or pay out debts, could adversely affect our financial condition and result of our operations. See
“Objects of the Offer — Details of the Objects of the Offer” on page 128.
41
Our ability to negotiate with our lenders to determine our drawing limits will affect our ability to fund our
working capital requirements through a combination of debt and equity sources. Further, our ability to borrow
and the terms of our borrowings will depend on our financial condition, the stability of our cash flows,
general market conditions, economic and political conditions in the markets where we operate and our
capacity to service debt. Set forth below are the details of our total outstanding borrowings as of March
31, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
As of March 31,
2021 2022 2023
(₹ in millions)
Total outstanding borrowings* 1,417.23 2,850.28 3,743.15
*Inclusive of current maturity of long-term loan
Our indebtedness results in substantial amount of debt service obligations, which could lead to:
• increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic, industry and competitive conditions;
• limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry;
• affecting our credit rating;
• limiting our ability to borrow more money both now and in the future; and
• increasing our interest expenditure and adversely affecting our profitability.
Further, some of our Subsidiaries have availed unsecured loans in the form of loan from directors or inter-
corporate deposits. Any existing unsecured loans or any unsecured loans availed in the future may be recalled
at any time at the option of the lender. While we have not faced any material instances in the past, there can
be no assurance that the lenders will not recall such unsecured loans or if we will be able to repay loans
advanced to us in a timely manner or at all. In the event that any lender seeks a repayment of any such loan,
we would need to find alternative sources of financing, which may not be available on commercially
reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, if such unsecured loans are recalled at any time, it may adversely affect
our financial condition and results of operations. Further, in the event that any of our Subsidiaries are unable
to repay the inter-corporate deposits taken from our Company, our Company may not be able to repay its own
secured loans if our Company's lenders demand repayment, which may adversely affect our financial
condition and results of operations.
Our business operations expose us to a variety of financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk and in
particular, market risk. If any of the credit facilities availed by us are recalled on a short notice, we may be
required to arrange for funds to fulfil the necessary requirements. The occurrence of these events may have
an adverse effect on our cash flow and financial conditions.
We have experienced losses in the Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, as set forth in the table below:
These losses have primarily arisen due to our total expenses being higher than our total income for these
periods. These losses also include expenses towards COVID-19 related inventory write-offs and losses
relating to our scaled down ancillary business. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures – EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA” on page 419. Purchase of stock-in-trade (i.e., the healthcare products that we on-sell to
our customers through our healthcare products distribution platform) is the largest component of our total
expenses and significantly impacts our profitability and margins. The table below sets forth our purchase of
stock-in-trade as a percentage of revenue from operations is set forth for the Financial Years 2021, 2022 and
2023:
42
For the Financial Year
2021 2022 2023
Purchase of stock-in-trade (₹ in millions) 16,851.90 23,424.71 30,512.60
Purchase of stock-in-trade as a percentage of revenue
94.69% 92.88% 92.46%
from operations (%)
The procurement cost of stock-in-trade from our suppliers is largely based on our suppliers’ discount structure
and pricing schemes, as well as market competition. We apply a margin over the selling prices set by our
suppliers when we sell to our customers. Our ability to procure products at competitive prices from our
suppliers in order to improve our gross profit margin significantly affects the profitability of our business.
There is no assurance that we will be able to improve our procurement efficiency or increase the margin that
we apply on the selling prices to our customers. Further, increases in the other costs forming a part of our
total expenses in the future may also lead to losses in the future. If we are unable to generate adequate revenue
growth and manage our expenses, we may continue to incur losses in the future.
6. Failure to maintain optimal inventory levels could increase our operating costs or lead to unfulfilled
customer orders, either of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results
of operations and prospects.
We need to ensure optimal inventory levels and are exposed to inventory risk as a result of rapid changes in
product life cycles, changing consumer preferences, uncertainty of product developments and launches,
manufacturer back orders and other related problems as well as the general economic environment in India.
There can be no assurance that we can accurately predict these trends and events and avoid over-stocking or
under-stocking of products. Furthermore, we place orders for products based on demand forecast which could
change significantly between the time when the products are ordered and the time when they are ready for
delivery. If we underestimate customer demand or if our suppliers fail to provide products to us or deliver
products to our customers in a timely manner, we may experience inventory shortages, which may, in turn,
result in unfulfilled customer orders, leading to an adverse effect on our customer relationships. While we
have not faced any such instances in the past, our failure to maintain proper inventory levels for our business
may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Although the Indian pharmaceutical distribution market remains very fragmented with traditional local
distributors dominating the market with a market share of 90% to 92% (Source: CRISIL Report), the
development of the industry could present a highly competitive global environment with strong competition
from other distributors, service merchandisers, self-warehousing chain drug stores, manufacturers engaged in
direct distribution, third-party logistics companies. In addition, we face competition from other service
providers, pharmaceutical and other healthcare manufacturers, pharmaceutical retailers, which may from
time-to-time decide to develop, for their own internal needs, supply management capabilities that might
otherwise be provided by our businesses. Further, due to any consolidation in the industry, a few large
suppliers may control a significant share of the healthcare products market. This concentration may reduce
our ability to negotiate favorable terms with suppliers and cause us to depend on a smaller number of
suppliers. Consolidation by our customers, suppliers and competitors might reduce the number of market
participants and give the remaining enterprises greater bargaining power, which might lead to erosion in our
profit margin. This may create further competitive pressures on our healthcare products distribution business.
Consolidation might increase counter-party credit risk because credit purchases increase for fewer market
participants. These competitive pressures and industry consolidation might have an adverse impact on our
business operations and our financial position or results of operations.
8. Changes in prescription drug pricing could adversely affect our operations and financial performance.
For each of the Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, most of our revenue from operations was attributed to
revenue from distribution of healthcare products to our customers, the manufacturing and sale of which is
tightly regulated by various laws and regulations. While we have not faced any such instances in the past, any
changes to such legislation could have a material adverse impact on our business, sales and profitability.
The sale of prescription drugs, medical devices and drug prices may be affected by changes to the health
care industry, including legislative or other changes that impact patient eligibility, drug product eligibility,
43
the allowable cost of a prescription drug product, the mark-up or channel margin permitted on a given
prescription drug product, the amount of professional or dispensing fees paid by third-party payers or the
provision or receipt of manufacturer allowances by pharmacy and pharmacy suppliers. Moreover, any
changes to the price at which we and our customers purchase pharmaceutical products is determined by the
Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013 (“DPCO”), promulgated by the Government of India and administered
by the National Pharmaceutical Pricing Authority (“NPPA”). If a given pharmaceutical product falls within
the DPCO, the product’s price could be significantly lower than what its market price would be without such
price restriction. Any changes to these prices stipulated by the DPCO, NPPA or other similar authorities, or
the inclusion of other of our pharmaceutical products not currently within the DPCO, could adversely impact
purchases made by our customers, which could adversely impact our distribution business, and our
operations.
9. We have made applications for late submissions and compounding of, and have paid late submission fees
for, delayed compliance with certain provisions of the FEMA in relation to reporting our downstream
investments.
Our Company had received funding from its foreign investor shareholders, which was thereafter utilized to
make downstream investments towards acquisition of its Subsidiaries. Our Company, as a foreign-owned or
controlled company, was required to file form DI in respect of its downstream investments in each of our
Subsidiaries from FY 2019 to FY 2023, as it is a foreign controlled and/ or owned entity. Such filing of form
DI was required to be made within 30 days of each of the allotments of equity shares of our downstream
investments in our Subsidiaries pursuant to Regulation 4(11)(b) of the Foreign Exchange Management (Mode
of Payment and Reporting of Non-Debt Instruments) Regulations, 2019. Our Company did not file the form
DI for such investments within the prescribed time period for a variety of reasons, including COVID-19.
Our Company has (i) filed an application for compounding to the RBI for such delay pursuant to our letter
dated July 25, 2023, for the downstream investments made in 17 of our Subsidiaries, and (ii) filed the form
DI with a late filing fee for downstream investments made in 21 of our Subsidiaries. The compounding
application is currently pending before the RBI.
We cannot assure you that the RBI will approve our compounding application in respect of such
contraventions or will accept the form DI filed with a delayed filing fee and not initiate any proceedings
against us for such delayed submission. The FEMA provides a penalty of up to three times the amount
involved in the contravention where such amount is quantifiable, and further penalty where such
contravention is a continuing one. If our compounding application is allowed, we cannot assure you that the
penalty/compounding fees imposed will be reasonable and that it will not have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition.
10. We have experienced negative cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the past and
may continue to do so in the future.
We have in the past, and may in the future, experience negative cash flows from operating, investing and
financing activities. The following table sets forth our net cash inflow/(outflow) from operating, investing
and financing activities for the years indicated:
44
We had net cash outflow from operating activities primarily due to increases in trade receivables and inventories.
Any negative cash outflows from operating activities over extended periods, or significant cash outflows in the
short term from investing and financing activities, could have an adverse impact on our cash flow requirements,
business operations and growth plans. As a result, our cash flows, business, future financial performance and
results of operations could be adversely affected. For further details, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Cash Flows” on page 417.
11. We may not be able to implement our business strategies, which may adversely affect our business and
prospects.
We have experienced significant growth since our inception in the Financial Year 2018. We have acquired 32
entities in the healthcare products distribution industry and intend to further supplement our organic growth with
strategic acquisitions. Further, we aim to grow sales through our existing distribution network, pursue
comprehensive marketing and distribution collaborations with healthcare product manufacturers, expand our
product adjacencies, private label and service offerings, and increase our customer reach, customer retention and
customer wallet share though continued investment in our technology infrastructure. For details, see “Our
Business – Our Strategies” on page 198.
Our business strategies involve new risks and challenges. For instance, with an aim to grow sales, we may
misjudge user demand, resulting in inventory build-up and possible inventory write-down as well as unpleasant
customer experience. Furthermore, we may not have purchasing power in new categories of products and we may
not be able to negotiate favorable terms with suppliers. We may need to price aggressively to gain market share
or remain competitive in new categories of products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to recoup our
investments made pursuant to our business strategies. We may not be able to manage our growth effectively and
our business and prospects may be adversely affected.
12. We are dependent on the continued services and performance of our key managerial personnel, senior
management and other key employees, the loss of any of whom could adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.
Our business operations are led by an experienced and driven team, comprised of professionals with experience
in healthcare and retail industries. Our Promoter, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Prabhat
Agrawal, and our Promoter, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, Prem Sethi, both with extensive
experience in our industry, play instrumental roles in the strategic direction and growth of our business. Our future
performance depends on the continued services and contributions of our co-founders, our senior management and
other key employees to execute on our business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product
innovations. The failure to properly manage succession plans and/or the loss of services of senior management or
other key employees could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our strategic objectives. The loss of
the services of one or more of our senior management or other key employees for any reason could adversely
affect our business, financial condition and operating results and require significant amounts of time, training and
resources to find suitable replacements and integrate them within our business, and could affect our corporate
culture.
13. Any disruption to the operation of our warehouses, or to the development of new warehousing and logistics
facilities, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have a nationwide presence of 73 distribution warehouses located across India. While we have not faced any
material instances in the past, natural disasters or other unanticipated catastrophic events, including power
interruptions, water shortage, storms, fires, earthquakes, terrorist attacks and wars, as well as changes in
governmental planning for the land underlying these facilities, could destroy any inventory located in these
facilities and significantly impair our business operations. In addition, warehousing and logistics facilities that
meet the requirements of modern logistics operations for guaranteed storage safety, optimal and flexible space
utilization and high operational efficiency are in short supply. Insurance may not be sufficient to cover these
disruptions. We may not be able to replace these facilities and equipment in a timely manner, should any of the
foregoing occur. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to find suitable replacement sites on terms
acceptable to us on a timely basis, or at all, or that we will not be subject to material liability resulting from third
parties’ challenges on our use of such properties.
14. There are outstanding legal proceedings involving us, our Subsidiaries, our Directors and our Promoters.
45
There are outstanding legal proceedings involving us, our Subsidiaries, our Directors and our Promoters. These
proceedings are pending at different levels of adjudication before various judicial authorities, from which further
liability may arise. The amounts involved in these proceedings have been summarized to the extent ascertainable
and quantifiable. For further details, see “Legal and Other Information – Outstanding Litigation and Material
Developments” on page 427.
A summary of outstanding litigation proceedings involving our Company, our Subsidiaries, Directors and our
Promoters as on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is provided below. As on date of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, there are no outstanding litigations involving our Group Companies, which may have a
material impact on our Company.
For further details of the outstanding litigation proceedings, see “Outstanding Litigation and Other Material
Developments” on page 427.
In relation to such outstanding litigation matters involving our Company, Subsidiaries, Directors and Promoters,
the amounts and interests involved in many pending litigations are not ascertainable or quantifiable and are hence
not disclosed. We cannot assure you that any of these proceedings will be decided in favor of our Company,
Subsidiaries, Directors and Promoters, or that no further liability will arise out of these proceedings. Such
proceedings could, however, divert management time and attention, and consume financial resources in their
defense or prosecution. Further, an adverse outcome in any of these proceedings may affect our reputation,
standing and future business, and could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and
results of operations.
15. We might be adversely impacted by changes or disruptions in product supply, which may lead to a loss of
customers.
We have no control over the supply of products from manufacturers, which could be impacted due to a number
of factors, including but not limited to labor disputes, unavailability of key manufacturing sites, inability of
manufacturers to procure raw materials, quality control concerns, ethical sourcing issues, financial distress of
manufacturers, natural disasters, civil unrest or acts of war. Our revenues and profitability could also be
significantly reduced due to the changes in the healthcare industry’s or our manufacturer’s pricing, selling,
inventory, distribution or supply policies or practices. Further, over the past three financial years, purchases of
46
products from a generic drugs manufacturer have contributed to a material portion of our total purchases of stock-
in-trade. Any dispute with the manufacturer or disruption in the supply of products by the manufacturer could
impact our ability to fulfil orders from our customers.
Any of these changes or disruptions might lead to a loss of customers, and have an adverse impact on our business
operations, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.
16. We might be unable to successfully recruit and retain qualified employees, which may have an adverse impact
on our business operations, financial position and results of operations.
Our ability to attract, engage, develop and retain qualified and experienced employees, including key executives
and other talent, is essential for us to meet our objectives. To attract and retain employees, we compete with many
other businesses in the healthcare products distribution sector in India. Such competition could result in increased
salaries, benefits or other employee-related costs, or in our failure to recruit and retain employees. We may also
experience sudden loss of key personnel due to a variety of causes, such as illness, and are required to adequately
plan for succession of key management roles. Employees might not successfully transition into new roles. Any of
these risks might have an adverse impact on our business operations, financial position and results of operations.
As a result, our success will depend in large part on our ability to recruit and retain skilled managerial and other
personnel.
17. We are subject to operational and logistical risks and our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect
us against all potential losses to which we may be subject.
Our insurance covers, among others, material damage to plant and machinery, furniture, fixtures, fittings and
stock. We also maintain a marine cargo open policy that insures transit of commodities by sea, air, rail, road and
courier. We also have, amongst others, a group mediclaim policy and directors and officers liability insurance
policy. As of March 31, 2023, the insurance cover on our assets (excluding intangible assets, goodwill, right of
use, deferred tax assets and bank balances) was ₹5,167.64 million, covering 51.64% of our total assets (excluding
intangible assets, goodwill, right of use, deferred tax assets and bank balances).
Although we seek to maintain adequate insurance coverage, coverage on acceptable terms might be unavailable,
or might not cover our losses. We generally seek to limit our contractual exposure, but limitations of liability or
indemnity provisions in our contracts may not be enforceable or adequately protect us from liability. Uninsured
losses might have an adverse impact on our business operations and our financial position or results of operations.
18. We may incur losses and our reputation may be adversely affected by the return of our products by customers,
arising from the distribution of expired, unsafe, defective, ineffective or counterfeit products, and product
spoilage, breakage and damage during transportation or in storage. We may also be subject to product liability
claims.
Our business is exposed to risks inherent in the distribution of healthcare products, such as distributing expired,
unsafe, defective, ineffective or counterfeit products and product spoilage, breakage and damage during
transportation or in storage. The materialization of such risks may allow our customers to return these products to
us and initiate a refund. While we do not manufacture pharmaceutical products, if we promote and distribute such
products, our reputation and customers’ perception of our product safety can also be damaged. While we may
have the right to recover from the relevant suppliers any compensation that we are required to make to our
customers or end users in connection with the distribution of expired, unsafe, defective, ineffective or counterfeit
products, and product spoilage, breakage and damage during transportation or in storage, we cannot assure you
that we will be able to recover the relevant amounts from these manufacturers, or at all, which may have an adverse
impact on our profit margins, profitability, cash flows and results of operations. We may not be able to recover
the relevant amounts from these suppliers, primarily due to a large customer base, inherent delays in the timing
of recording returns/reverse logistics, low levels of technology adaptation at the retailer level, inherent delays in
submission of claims to suppliers, and rejection of claims by suppliers. Further, we may also be exposed to
financial and reputational risks in relation to the products manufactured by contract manufacturers for our private
label.
Further, customers may institute product liability claims against us, which could lead to considerable expense,
negatively affecting our reputation and financial performance as a whole. Product liability claims may arise from
defective products, product recalls, insufficient or improper labelling of products, inadequate or misleading
47
warnings or disclosures relating to side effects or improper consumption of product by end-users. We do not
maintain product liability insurance cover. Any claims against us, regardless of their merits, could damage our
reputation and customer confidence in our products, and strain our financial resources in addition to consuming
the time and attention of our management. In April 2022, the Drug Inspector (Kokan division), Thane filed a
complaint against us and our Directors, alleging sub-standard quality of sterile gauze swab manufactured by which
is marketed by our company and manufactured by one of our vendors M/s Nuvo Medsurg Private Limited before
the Court of Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate First Class, 5th Court, Bhiwandi. The Court vide an order dated April 19,
2023 (“Order”) issued summons against the Accused Persons. Our company has filed a Writ Petition dated
August 25, 2023, in the High Court of Judicature at Bombay against the State of Maharashtra and the Complainant
challenging the Order passed by the Court of Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate First Class, 5 th Court, Bhiwandi dated
April 19, 2023. For details, please see “Outstanding Litigation and Material Developments -Litigation involving
our Company –Actions Taken by Regulatory and Statutory Authorities” on page 428 of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.
19. Our Registered Office and Corporate Office, and all of our warehouse premises are leased by us, and any
termination, non-renewal or failure to enforce, register or adequately stamp our lease agreements in
connection with these premises could adversely affect our operations.
Our Registered Office and Corporate Office, and all of our warehouse premises are held by us on a leasehold
basis. The term of such lease arrangements ranges from 11 months to nine years. Upon the expiry or termination
of such leases, we will be required to vacate the premises, unless the leases are renewed. If our lease agreements
expire and are not renewed by us within the time stipulated under any such agreement, we will be required to
vacate such premises, and may be required to identify alternative premises at less favorable terms and conditions.
While the lease deed for the warehouse located at Kolkata of our subsidiary, Novacare Healthcare Solutions
Private Limited, had expired on June 10, 2023 and is currently in the process of renewal, we have not been required
to vacate the premises and the warehouse continues to be operational. We cannot assure you that this lease deed
will be renewed, and any failure to do so will require us to vacate the premises and identify alternative premises
at less favorable terms of conditions. In addition, an inability to secure and renew leases for warehouses in prime
locations at competitive terms could result in a loss of business, time overruns and may adversely affect our
operations and profitability. While there have been no instances during the last three Financial Years where we
have been unable to secure and renew leases for warehouses at competitive terms, we cannot assure you that such
instances may not occur in the future. Further, the lease deeds for our properties may not be registered, stamped or
adequately stamped and consequently, may not be accepted as evidence in a court of law and we may be required to
pay penalties for non-registration and non-payment of or inadequate stamp duty. For instance, the lease deed for
the land leased by our Subsidiary, Sesha Balaji Medisolutions Private Limited was not stamped and registered
which may affect the enforceability of the lease. Further, the lease deed for the land leased for 55 of our
warehouses are not stamped and registered. While there have been no instances where our business has been
affected during the last three Financial Years due to any of our lease deeds not being registered, stamped or
adequately stamped, we cannot assure you that such instances may not occur in the future.
20. Our lenders have imposed certain restrictive conditions on us under our financing arrangements, which may
adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and impair our future growth plans.
We have entered into agreements for availing certain cash credit facilities from various lenders. Certain covenants
in these agreements require us to obtain approval/permission from our lenders in certain conditions including
changes in the shareholding, ownership, management, control, nature of business, and constitutional documents
of our Company and our Subsidiaries, dilution below minimum shareholding by certain of our promoters in the
Company and shareholding of our Company in our Subsidiaries, repayment/pre-payment of loans availed by us,
our Company and our Subsidiaries availing further debt or undertaking expansion or investing in third parties.
Certain bank facilities availed by our Subsidiaries are secured by corporate guarantees of the Company. Our
lenders have the option to make the entire outstanding amount payable on demand, including in the event of
default or breach of certain covenants. Further certain agreements also impose financial covenants such as
maintenance of financial ratios such as total outstanding liability to total/adjusted net worth, earnings before
interest and taxes, profit after tax or debt to equity, total debt outstanding to tangible net worth in such manner as
specified. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with these financial or other covenants or that
we will be able to obtain consents necessary to take the actions that we believe are required to operate and grow
our business. Our level of existing debt and any new debt that we incur in the future has important consequences.
48
In the past, our Company had acquired a subsidiary, CPD Pharma Private Limited (“CPD”) by entering into a
share purchase agreement with CPD and its erstwhile promoters. The erstwhile promoters of CPD had earlier
availed certain loan facilities from a lender in the name of their separate partnership firm which were erroneously
transferred to CPD. Since the account belonging to CPD had been classified as a non-performing asset prior to
the repayment, we requested the erstwhile promoters of CPD to repay and close the outstanding loan which was
subsequently repaid by them. We also obtained a letter from the lender confirming closure of the said account
post repayment. Further, some of our Subsidiaries i.e. Sesha Balajee Medisolutions Private Limited, SVMED
Solutions Private Limited, and Vasavi Medicare Solutions Private Limited had availed working capital loan
facilities from the lender who called an event of default under the loan agreements entered into with it and our
subsidiaries, and required the outstanding amounts under the facilities to be paid within a period of three months.
The lender alleged that there were material differences in reporting of operating and net profits between the
preliminary consolidated annual report and final consolidated annual report. While we disputed the applicability
of such an event of default and also highlighted certain service-related issues in our communications with the
lender, we, nonetheless, repaid the working capital facilities in full and prior to the prescribed repayment date.
We also obtained letters from the lender confirming that there are no dues payable by the said subsidiaries. For
further details, please see, “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Defaults or rescheduling/restructuring of
borrowings from Financial Institutions/Banks” on page 222.
A default by us under the terms of any financing document would also trigger a cross-default under some of our
other financing documents, or any other agreements or instruments containing a cross-default provision, which
may individually or in aggregate, have an adverse effect on our operations, financial position, credit rating,
prospects, business, results of operations and reputation including in our ability to raise further debt financing on
terms acceptable to us or at all. We may not have sufficient funds to meet all of the repayment demands as
described above, if they were to occur. Further, if such events happen in future, it may adversely affect our
business, operations, financial condition, and ability to obtain credit on favourable terms.
Any failure to comply with the requirements or other conditions or covenants under our financing agreements that
is not waived by our lenders or is not otherwise cured by us, may require us to repay the borrowing in whole or
part and may include other related costs. We may be forced to sell some or all of its assets or limit our operations.
This may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and impair our future growth plans. For further
details, please see “Financial Indebtedness” on page 424.
21. We have pledged equity shares of certain of our Subsidiaries in favor of certain lenders and if events of default
arise under the financing agreements, such lenders could invoke the relevant share pledge agreements,
adversely affecting our business, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
The Company has pledged equity shares of certain of our Subsidiaries held by the Company in favor of lenders to
secure loan facilities availed by our Company and our Subsidiaries. Such pledges have been created in respect of:
• 100.00% of the paid-up equity share capital of our Subsidiaries, Sree Venkateshwara Medisolutions Private
Limited and Calcutta Medisolutions Private Limited in favor of Patni Financial Advisors Private Limited;
and
• 100.00% of the paid-up equity share capital of our Subsidiaries, SS Pharma Traders Private Limited, SVS
Lifesciences Private Limited, Saurashtra Medisolutions Private Limited, City Pharma Distributors Private Limited,
Atreja Healthcare Solutions Private Limited and Swami Medisolutions Private Limited in favor of Beacon
Trusteeship Limited, acting as security trustee for our debenture holders.
• 100.00% of the paid-up equity share capital of our Subsidiaries, New Siva Agencies Private Limited and New RRPD
Private Limited in favour of Beacon Trusteeship Limited, acting as security trustee for Vivriti Capital Limited.
For further details related to the outstanding borrowings of our Company and our Subsidiaries, see “Financial
Indebtedness” beginning on page 424.
Any default or breach under the relevant financing agreement and share pledge agreements pursuant to which
such equity shares have been pledged will entitle the lenders to invoke the pledge over the equity shares. Such
lenders could take ownership of the pledged equity shares and may even sell them to third parties. If these pledges
are invoked, our shareholding and control in such Subsidiaries may be reduced or divested completely. Such
49
occurrences could adversely affect our economic interest in such Subsidiaries and our ability to manage the affairs
of these Subsidiaries.
22. We have contingent liabilities and commitments, and our financial condition could be adversely affected if
these contingent liabilities materialize.
As of March 31, 2023, our contingent liabilities and commitments are set forth in the table below:
(₹ in millions)
Nature of Contingent Liability and Commitments As at March 31, 2023
Claims not acknowledged as debts:
(i) Income tax 2.07
(ii) Indirect tax 0.77
Bank guarantees 0.12
Total 2.96
We cannot assure you that we will not incur similar or increased levels of contingent liabilities and commitments
in the future. If any of these contingent liabilities materialize, our financial condition may be adversely affected.
23. The Pro Forma Financial Information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is not indicative of our
future financial condition or results of operations and may also not be indicative of our actual results of
operations.
The Pro Forma Financial Information included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus addresses a hypothetical
situation and does not represent our actual consolidated financial condition or results of operations, and is not
intended to be indicative of our future financial condition and results of operations. The adjustments set forth in
the Pro Forma Financial Information are based upon available information and assumptions that our management
believes to be reasonable.
As the Pro Forma Financial Information is prepared for illustrative purposes only, it is, by its nature, subject to
change and may not give an accurate picture of the actual financial results that would have occurred had such
transactions by us been effected on the dates they are assumed to have been effected, and is not intended to be
indicative of our future financial performance. Our Pro Forma Financial Information does not include all of the
information required for financial statements under Ind AS and should be read in conjunction with the “Pro forma
Financial Information - Basis of Preparation of the Pro Forma Financial Information” beginning on page 385.
Further, our Pro Forma Financial Information were not prepared in connection with an offering registered with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the U.S. Securities Act and consequently do not
comply with the SEC’s rules on presentation of pro forma financial information. Accordingly, investors should
not unduly rely on our Pro Forma Financial Information. If the various assumptions underlying the preparation of
the Pro Forma Financial Information do not come to pass, our actual results could be materially different from
those indicated in the Pro Forma Financial Information. Accordingly, the Pro Forma Financial Information
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus is not intended to be indicative of expected results or operations in
the future periods or the future financial position of our Company or a substitute for our past results, and the
degree of reliance placed by investors on our Pro Forma Financial Information should be limited.
24. There have been delays in filing of certain e-forms filings of our Company in compliance with the Companies
Act, 2013. Consequently, we may be subject to regulatory actions and penalties for such delays which may
adversely impact our business and financial condition.
There have been instances of delay by our Company in filing of certain e-forms for corporate actions. These
include e-form filings with the MCA in relation to certain resolutions for issuances of CCPS by our Company.
For instance, our Company was required to file form MGT-14 with the RoC in respect of shareholders’ resolutions
for issuances of Series A1 CCPS, Series A2 CCPS, Series A3 CCPS and Series A4 CCPS vide the special
resolutions dated December 30, 2020 and December 31, 2021, each pursuant to rights issues and allotment
thereunder on various dates. For details, please see “Capital Structure – History of preference share capital of our
Company” on page 93 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. Such filing was required to be made in compliance
with Section 117 of the Companies Act. However, our Company did not file the form MGT-14 within the
50
prescribed time period due to oversight on account of manpower constraints during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although, our Company has now made the relevant filings along with the required additional fee for a delayed
filing, we cannot assure you that the RoC will not issue a notice or take any other regulatory action against our
Company and its officers in this regard.
We cannot assure you that such delays will not happen in the future and that our Company will not be subject to
any action, including monetary penalties by statutory authorities on account of any inadvertent discrepancies in,
or non-availability of, or delays in filing of, any of its secretarial records and filings, which may adversely affect
our reputation.
25. We have made certain errors in our form filings in the past, in relation to our capital structure and amendments
to our memorandum of association, with the Registrar of Companies. The e-form MGT-14 submitted to the
MCA pertaining to certain amendments to our Articles of Association is yet to be approved by the RoC.
In the past, there have been certain instances of errors in our filings of statutory forms with RoC as per the reporting
requirements laid down under the Companies Act, 2013 in relation to the capital structure and corporate actions
of our Company. Examples of such inaccuracies in relation to allotments undertaken by our Company in the past,
are listed below:
(i) For the allotment of Equity Shares and Series A1, A2 and A4 CCPS dated August 1, 2018, the board
resolution annexed to the Form PAS-3 filing incorrectly states the number and class of CCPS allotted to IM
Investments Trust as “104,999,900 Series A1 CCPS” instead of “44,999,900 Series A2 CCPS”. The board
resolution further omits to state the class of CCPS allotted to Petros Diamantides, i.e. Series A4 CCPS,
although the same is correctly reflected in the list of allottees annexed with the form filing.
(ii) For the allotment of Series A1 CCPS dated April 26, 2019, the Form PAS-3 filing incorrectly states “Series
A4” as the class of CCPS instead of Series A1.
Although there would no effect on the issued, paid up and subscribed share capital of the Company due to the
aforementioned clerical errors, the Form PAS-3 is approved on “straight through process” therefore, it does not
allow to make any further changes in the already filed form with RoC. Further, following are the inaccuracies in
relation to the amendments to the MoA of our Company in the past:
(i) For the amendment to our MoA dated July 17, 2018, pursuant to increase in our authorized share capital, the
shareholders’ resolution incorrectly states that the existing authorized share capital comprised of “10,000”
Equity Shares instead of “100,000” Equity Shares. Further, the amended MoA and the shareholders’
resolution annexed to Form SH-7 inadvertently omit to state the addition of 2,100,200 Series A4 CCPS to the
preference share capital post increase.
(ii) For the amendment to our MoA dated July 23, 2018, the shareholders’ resolution and the amended MoA
annexed to the Form SH-7 incorrectly states the number of Series A4 CCPS post reclassification of our
authorized share capital as “6,512,500” instead of “11,850,200” Series A4 CCPS.
In order to rectify the abovementioned errors and bring it to the notice of all stakeholders including regulators,
our Company had filed Form GNL-2 dated September 2, 2023, and September 5, 2023, for intimating the
inaccuracies in the form filings and the attachments thereto. In relation to the allotments dated April 26, 2019, and
August 1, 2018, certain incremental clarifications were required by the RoC on the delay in submission of Form
GNL-2. We provided our response vide letters dated September 7, 2023, and resubmitted the Forms GNL-2. As
on the date of this DRHP, all Form GNL-2 filings have been approved by the RoC.
We cannot assure you that such inaccuracies will not happen in the future and that our Company will not be
subject to any action, including monetary penalties by statutory authorities on account of any inadvertent
discrepancies in any of its secretarial records and filings, which may adversely affect our operations and financial
position.
Further, our Company has filed e-form MGT-14 on September 9, 2023, pursuant to an amendment to part B of
our Articles of Association, which was approved by our Shareholders on September 7, 2023. The e-form MGT-
14 is pending approval and is currently under processing by the RoC as of the date of this DRHP. Accordingly,
the amended Articles of Association as summarised in this DRHP are not available on the MCA portal as on the
date of filing this DRHP.
51
26. We are unable to trace the Form FC-GPR filing for one of our past allotments of Equity Shares and CCPS,
and a challan in relation to an amendment to the MoA. Further, there have been delays on filing of Form FC-
GPR for one of our allotments.
The Foreign Exchange Management (Transfer or Issue of Security by a Person Resident Outside India)
Regulations, 2000, require a company to report any issuance of shares or convertible debentures in accordance
with these regulations in Form FC-GPR within 30 days of such issuance. However, we have been unable to trace
such filing made by us for the allotments dated August 1, 2018, of (i) Equity Shares and Series A1 CCPS to our
Corporate Promoter, and (ii) Series A4 CCPS to Petros Diamantides. In the absence of the original form filing,
we have relied on the copy of the RBI acknowledgments dated September 18, 2018, available with us, which were
received post filing of Form FC-GPR in relation to the allotments. Additionally, our Company is yet to file Form
FC-GPR for the allotment of 164,905 Series A5 CCPS to Petros Diamantides on July 28, 2023. For details, please
see “Capital Structure – History of Equity share capital of our Company” on page 89 of this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus. Our Company may be required to pay the requisite penalty for the delay in filing Form FC-GPR for
the allotment made on July 28, 2023.
Further, we have been unable to trace a challan to the Form SH-7 filed for the amendment to our MoA dated July
23, 2018, pursuant to reclassification of our authorized share capital. For details, please see “History and Certain
Corporate Matters – Amendments to our MoA” on page 220 of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
While we believe that the aforementioned allotments and amendments were undertaken in accordance with
applicable law and our Articles of Association, we cannot assure you that the relevant forms and challans will be
available with us in the future. Further, we cannot assure you that such delays would not occur in the future, and
that our Company will not be subject to any action, including monetary penalties by statutory authorities on
account of any inadvertent discrepancies in, or non-availability of, or delays in regulatory filings, which may
adversely affect our reputation.
27. We do not have long term agreements with our customers, which could adversely impact our business as our
customers can terminate their relationships with us without notice.
We do not have long term agreements with our customers. As a result, our customers can terminate their
relationships with us without notice, which could adversely impact our business. Consequently, our revenue may
be subject to variability because of fluctuations in demand. Our customers have no obligation to place an order
with us and may either cancel, reduce or delay orders. The orders placed by our customers are dependent on
factors such as pricing, customer satisfaction, fluctuation in demand, customers’ inventory management, amongst
others. Although, we have a strong emphasis on quality, timely delivery of our products and personal interaction
with the customers, any change in the buying pattern of customers can adversely affect the business of our
Company.
28. If we are unable to obtain, protect or use our intellectual property rights, our business may be adversely
affected.
We have 98 registered trademarks, out of which a rectification has been filed against one trademark, 16 opposed
trademarks, 44 objected trademarks, 7 abandoned trademarks, 5 accepted and advertised trademarks, 3 accepted
trademarks, 6 refused trademarks and 9 trademarks which have passed the formalities check. Our intellectual
property rights and domain names may expire, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew them after
expiry. Certain of our intellectual property rights, including those for certain products that we currently sell, are
either objected to or are otherwise under dispute. If any of these trademarks are registered in favor of a third party,
we may not be able to claim registered ownership of such trademarks, and consequently, we may be unable to
seek remedies for infringement of those trademarks by third parties other than relief against passing off by other
entities. Our inability to obtain or maintain these registrations may adversely affect our competitive position and,
in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations. We do not have domain name registration for
our Entero Direct web domain, https://www.enterodirect.com. Further, our application for the registration of our
erstwhile name, “Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited” and logo has been opposed. While we have filed
a counter statement, the matter has not been decided. In case we are not able to successfully register our name
logo, we may face risks of third parties using our name and logo. Further, we have made trademark applications
52
for the logo and of our Company ( ) under classes 1, 3, 5, 10, 16 35, 41 and 44 of the Trademarks
Act, 1999. For further details, see “Government and Other Approvals – Intellectual Property” on page 435.
While we intend to defend against any threats to our intellectual property, we cannot assure you that our
intellectual property rights can be adequately protected in a timely manner. We are also exposed to the risk that
other entities may pass off their products as ours by imitating our brand names, packaging material and attempting
to create counterfeit products. We believe that there may be other companies or vendors which operate in the
unorganized segment using our tradename or brand names. We rely on protections available under Indian law,
which may not be adequate to prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property by third parties. Furthermore,
the application of laws governing intellectual property rights in India is uncertain and evolving, and could involve
substantial risks to us. Notwithstanding the precautions we take to protect our intellectual property rights, it is
possible that third parties may copy or otherwise infringe on our rights, which may have an adverse effect on our
business. We have not faced any material past instances of infringement of our intellectual property rights.
Further, while we take care to ensure that we comply with the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot
determine with certainty whether we are infringing any existing third-party intellectual property rights which may
force us to alter our offerings. If such claims are raised against us in the future, they could result in costly litigation,
divert management’s attention and resources, subject us to significant liabilities and require us to enter into
potentially expensive royalty or licensing agreements or to cease use of certain of our brands, can result in
significant damages being awarded and injunctions that could prevent the manufacture and sale of the relevant
products. Any of the foregoing could have an adverse effect on our business.
29. Disruption or other changes in capital and credit markets might impede access to credit and increase borrowing
costs for us and our customers and suppliers.
Our borrowing ability and cost of borrowing could be adversely affected due to the volatility and disruption in
global capital and credit markets, including the bankruptcy or restructuring of certain financial institutions,
reduced lending activity by financial institutions, or decreased liquidity and increased costs in the commercial
paper market. We generally sell our products and services under short-term unsecured credit arrangements to our
customers. However, an adverse change in general economic conditions or access to capital might cause our
customers to reduce their purchases from us, or may lead to delays or a failure in paying amounts due to us.
Suppliers might increase their prices, reduce their output or change their terms of sale due to limited availability
of credit, and could be unable to make payments due to us for fees, returned products or incentives. Further, any
changes in the interest rate or capital market conditions might impede our or our customers’ or suppliers’ ability
or cost of obtaining credit. Any of these risks might have a material adverse impact on our business operations
and our financial position or results of operations.
We face credit risk in collecting trade receivables due from customers. While we monitor defaults of customers
and other counterparties and incorporate this information into our credit risk controls, there can be no assurance
that all amounts due to us would be settled in time, or that such amounts will not continue to increase in the future.
Set forth below are the details of our trade receivables, provision for expected credit loss and debtor days as of
March 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023:
While we have not faced any material instances in the past, our performance, liquidity and profitability would be
adversely affected if significant amounts due to us are not settled on time or substantial impairment is incurred.
The bankruptcy or deterioration of the credit condition of any of these customers and counterparties could also
materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
53
31. Non-compliance with existing or changes to environmental, health and safety, labor laws and other applicable
regulations by us or contract manufacturers for our private label products may adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our operations are subject to extensive laws and government regulations, including in relation to safety, health
and environmental protection. We and our contract manufacturers for our private label products are subject to the
laws and regulations governing relationships with employees in areas such as minimum wages, maximum working
hours, overtime, working conditions, hiring and termination of employees, contract labour, work permits,
maintenance of regulatory and statutory records and making periodic payments. See “Key Regulations and
Policies in India” on page 210. While we have not faced any material instances in the past, a failure to comply
with such regulations could lead to enforced shutdowns and other sanctions imposed by the relevant authorities
on. As a result, we may become involved or liable in litigation or other proceedings, incur increased costs or
penalties, have our approvals and permits revoked or suffer a disruption in our operations, any of which could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Further, our warehouses may be subject to inspections, during which regulatory non-compliance may be
discovered or alleged. We have not been subject to any material regulatory non-compliance in respect of our
warehouses in the past. However, if we are found liable for such regulatory non-compliance in the future, we may
be subject to fines, sanctions, termination of licenses or approval and reputational damage. We may continue to
incur costs in complying with regulations, appealing any decision to suspend our outlets’ operations, while having
to continue incurring some or all of the operating costs during that period. We do not carry any insurance to cover
such losses and expenses. Any of our regulatory noncompliance may therefore adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and results of operation. Further, we are required by healthcare product manufacturers that
we work with to adhere to certain warehousing practices and pre-determined warehousing standards. While we
have not faced any such material instances in the past, if we fail to maintain the prescribed and/or requisite
standards of storage at our warehouses, we could be in breach of our contractual obligations and may not be able
to retain our customers, which may have an adverse impact on our business, growth prospects and our financial
results.
We have incurred and expect to continue incurring costs for compliance with all applicable health and safety, and
labour laws and regulations. We cannot assure you that we and such contract manufacturers will be able to comply
with all applicable environmental, health, safety and labour laws and regulations or the terms and conditions of
any consents or permits in the future or that such compliance will not result in a curtailment of production or a
material increase in the costs of our production and operations. We may, in future, be held liable for any regulatory
lapses and non-compliances and incur increased costs or be subject to penalties, which are not covered by the
insurance we currently carry. Any of the above may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of
operations and cash flows.
In addition, we are required to obtain and maintain a number of statutory and regulatory permits and approvals
under central, state and local government rules in India, generally for carrying out our business. A majority of
these approvals are granted for a limited duration and require renewal. Further, while we have applied for some
of these approvals, we cannot assure you that such approvals will be issued or granted to us in a timely manner,
or at all. If we do not receive such approvals or are not able to renew the approvals in a timely manner, our business
and operations may be adversely affected. In accordance with Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the rules
thereunder, post conversion of our Company to a public limited company, existing licenses such as the DL 20B,
20G and 21B issued to our Company will expire within 90 days from the date of conversion, i.e. November 23,
2023. Accordingly, our Company will have to apply for renewal of such approvals in due course. There are certain
material approvals or renewals for which applications are currently pending before relevant authorities including
the trade license for our Darbhanga branch and the professional tax registration at our Howrah branch. Further,
we have certain Material approvals required but not applied for including the professional tax registration at our
Darbhanga branch and the trade license and the professional tax registration at our Chennai branch. For details of
such approvals, including the approvals and registrations that we have applied for and are pending renewal or
have not applied for see “Government and Other Approvals” on page 434.
32. Our business may be adversely affected by adverse news, scandals or other incidents associated with the Indian
healthcare industry.
As a healthcare products distribution company in India, incidents that reflect doubt as to the quality or safety of
healthcare products manufactured and sold in the Indian healthcare industry have been, and may continue to be,
54
subject to widespread media attention. For example, in the past, there has been negative publicity relating to
proposed and actual bans on online pharmacies in certain markets. Industry bodies have also lobbied against
and issued warnings to online pharmacies, and have complained to drugs controllers and other authorities. Such
incidents may damage the reputation of not only the parties involved, but also the healthcare industry in general,
even if such parties or incidents have no relation to us, our management, our employees, our suppliers and our
manufacturers.
33. We may not be able to detect or prevent fraud or other misconduct committed by our employees or third parties
or on our platform.
Fraud or other misconduct by our employees, such as unauthorized business transactions, bribery and breach of
any applicable law or our internal policies and procedures, or by third parties, such as breach of law may be
difficult to detect or prevent. It could subject us to financial loss and sanctions imposed by governmental
authorities while seriously damaging our reputation. This may also impair our ability to effectively attract
prospective stakeholders, develop customer loyalty, obtain financing on favorable terms and conduct other
business activities. There can be no assurance that the measures we have implemented to detect and reduce the
occurrence of fraudulent activities would be effective in combating fraudulent transactions or improving overall
satisfaction among our stakeholders. While we have not faced any material instances in the past, any such event
could adversely affect our business, reputation, financial condition and prospects.
34. Some of our Directors and Promoters have interests in entities engaged in businesses similar to ours.
Certain of our Directors and Promoters are associated with companies engaged in similar lines of business, in the
capacity of being directors and/or shareholders on the board of our Subsidiaries, which may lead to conflicts of
interest. Our Subsidiaries have common pursuits with our Company and each other. They are either engaged in or
are authorized by their respective constitutional documents to engage in the same line of business as that of our
Company and each other. However, as our Subsidiaries do not compete with our Company, there is no conflict of
interest. Further, our Company and our Subsidiaries will adopt the necessary procedures and practices, as
permitted by law, to address any conflict situation as and when they arise. For details, see “Our Management –
Interest of Directors”, “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Common Pursuits between our Subsidiaries
and our Company” and “Our Promoters and Promoter Group – Interests of Promoters and Related Party
Transactions” on pages 249, 243, and 268, respectively.
35. We have, in the past, entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future, which
may potentially involve conflicts of interest with the equity shareholders.
We have entered into various transactions with related parties. We cannot assure you that we could not have
achieved more favourable terms had such transactions been entered into with unrelated parties. It is likely that we
may enter into related party transactions in the future. Although all related party transactions that we may enter
into post-listing, will be subject to the Board or Shareholders approval, as necessary under the Companies Act
and the SEBI Listing Regulations, we cannot assure you that such future transactions, individually or in the
aggregate, will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations or that we could not
have achieved more favourable terms if such transactions had not been entered into with related parties. For details
of the related party transactions see “Summary of the Offer Document – Summary of Related Party
Transactions” and “Other Financial Information –Related Party Transactions” on pages 29 and 392,
respectively.
Our private label business involves a large number of risks, including, difficulties we may face in attracting and
retaining customers as they may be unfamiliar with our brands. Similarly, our relationships with our retail
pharmacies / customers might be hindered due to the competition from their own private label products. Further,
we face significant competition from other private label brands. For example, due to significant external
competition and pricing pressure, we are gradually scaling down our generic medicine business (under our private
label brand “Curever”). Further, as our generic medicine business is not expected to contribute significantly to
our financial results going forward, the EBITDA of the Curever business for the respective years has been adjusted
for the purposes of calculating our Adjusted EBITDA. Further, during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in
2020 and 2021, we procured a significant amount of inventory of sanitizers, personal protective equipment kits,
masks and infrared thermometers in anticipation of more waves of COVID-19 and emergencies thereafter.
55
However, as the impact of COVID-19 subsided from late 2022 onwards, the demand for these inventories also
reduced. As a result, these have been brought down to their new realisable values and presented as adjustments to
our EBITDA, as we are gradually phasing out trading of these products. For details, see “Management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations – Non-GAAP measures – EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA – Earnings before interest costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization” on page 419.
Further, consolidation of retail pharmacies with third party players, expansion of large retail pharmacy networks,
reductions in reimbursement rates, shifts in the mix of branded and generic pharmaceutical sales, and exclusion
from preferred pharmacy networks could also impair the sales of our private label products, and hinder our
profitability. A failure to maintain profitable operations from our private label business may result in significant
costs, including those associated with closures of our operations and a reduction in our workforce. If our private
label operations fail to achieve, or are unable to sustain, acceptable net sales and profitability levels, it might have
an adverse impact on our business, financial position or results of operations.
37. Our Promoters, Directors, Key Management Personnel and Senior Management may have interests other than
the reimbursement of expenses incurred and receipt of remuneration or benefits from our Company.
Certain of our Promoters, Directors, Key Management Personnel and Senior Management are interested in us, in
addition to regular remuneration or benefits and reimbursement of expenses, to the extent of their shareholding,
CCPS, direct and indirect, and our stock options and benefits arising therefrom. For example, our Promoters and
Directors, Prabhat Agrawal and Prem Sethi, are entitled to an adjustment to their respective CCPS conversion
ratios under the third addendum to the Shareholders Agreement. For further details, see “Our Management –
Interest of Directors”, “Our Management – Key Managerial Personnel and Senior Management”, and “Our
Promoters and Promoter Group – Interests of Promoters and Related Party Transactions” on pages 249, 264,
and 268 respectively.
38. Significant differences exist between the Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) used to prepare our financial
information and other accounting principles, such as the United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (U.S. GAAP) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which may affect
investors’ assessments of our Company’s financial condition.
Our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements for Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023 included in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus are prepared under Ind AS, which differs from accounting principles with which
prospective investors may be familiar, such as Indian GAAP, IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Restated Consolidated Financial Statements and financial information
included in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the
reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices. Persons not familiar with Indian accounting
practices, Ind AS, the Companies Act and the SEBI ICDR Regulations should limit their reliance on the financial
disclosures presented in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
39. This Draft Red Herring Prospectus contains information from third parties and from the CRISIL Report
prepared by CRISIL, which we have commissioned and paid for purposes of confirming our understanding of
the industry exclusively in connection with the Offer and any reliance on such information for making an
investment decision in the Offer is subject to inherent risks.
The industry and market information contained in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus includes information that is
derived from the CRISIL Report dated August 2023 prepared by an independent third-party research agency,
CRISIL. Our Company has commissioned CRISIL pursuant to the engagement letter dated June 28, 2023. Neither
we nor any of our Promoters, our Directors, our Key Managerial Personnel, our Senior Management or the
BRLMs are related parties of CRISIL. The CRISIL Report has been commissioned and paid for by us for the
purposes of confirming our industry exclusively in connection with the Offer. The report uses certain
methodologies for market sizing and forecasting, and may include numbers relating to our Company that differ
from those we record internally. Accordingly, investors should read the industry-related disclosure in this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus in this context. Industry sources and publications are also prepared based on information
as of specific dates and may no longer be current or reflect current trends. Industry sources and publications may
also base their information on estimates, projections, forecasts and assumptions that may prove to be incorrect.
Due to possibly flawed or ineffective collection methods or discrepancies between published information and
56
market practice and other problems, the statistics herein may be inaccurate or may not be comparable to statistics
produced for other economies and should not be unduly relied upon. Statements from third parties that involve
estimates are subject to change, and actual amounts may differ materially from those included in this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. While these industry sources and publications may take due care and caution while preparing
their reports, they do not guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the data.
Given the scope and extent of the CRISIL Report, disclosures are limited to certain excerpts and the CRISIL
Report has not been reproduced in its entirety in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus. The CRISIL Report is
available on the website of our Company at https://www.enterohealthcare.com/investor/initial-public-
offer/industry-report.php. Further, the CRISIL Report is not a recommendation to invest / disinvest in any
company covered in the CRISIL Report. Accordingly, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on,
or base their investment decision solely on this information. You should consult your own advisors and undertake
an independent assessment of information in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus based on, or derived from, the
CRISIL Report before making any investment decision regarding the Offer. For details, see “Industry Overview”
on page 154. For the disclaimers associated with the CRISIL Report, see “Certain Conventions, Presentation of
Financial, Industry and Market Data and Currency of Presentation- Industry and Market Data” on page 22.
40. We face risks related to health epidemics and pandemics which could adversely affect our business.
We might be adversely affected by events outside of our control, including widespread public health issues, such
as epidemic or pandemic infectious diseases; natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or severe weather;
political events such as terrorism, military conflicts and trade wars; and other catastrophic events.
The COVID-19 pandemic had adversely impacted our operations, supply chains and distribution network. We
face risks related to health epidemics and pandemics, including risks related to any responses thereto by the
government of India, as well as our customers and suppliers. Any future disruption in our ability to service our
customers could have an adverse effect on our revenue, results of operations, and cash flows. We also face risks
related to a downturn in our customers’ respective businesses, including the operations of our retail pharmacy and
health systems customers. An economic slowdown or recession due to health epidemics and pandemics, including
the recurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar variant of the disease, may affect our customers’ ability to
obtain credit to finance their business on acceptable terms, which could result in reduced spending on our products
and services.
41. Our funding requirements and proposed deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on management estimates
and have not been independently appraised by any bank or financial institution or any other independent
agency, and may be subject to change based on various factors, some of which are beyond our control.
We intend to utilize the Net Proceeds for (i) the repayment/prepayment, in full or part, of certain borrowings
availed of by our Company and our Subsidiaries, (ii) funding working capital requirements of our Company, and
(iii) general corporate purposes and inorganic growth initiatives. For further details, see “Objects of the Offer –
Objects of the Fresh Issue” on page 127.
The funding requirements and deployment of the Net Proceeds mentioned as a part of the objects of the Offer are
based on internal management estimates and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution or other
independent agency. Accordingly, no appraising entity has been appointed for the Offer. As such, prospective
investors will need to rely upon our management’s judgment with respect to the use of Net Proceeds. If we are
unable to deploy the Net Proceeds in a timely or efficient manner, our business and results of operations may be
affected. We operate in a competitive and dynamic industry and may need to revise our estimates from time to
time based on changes in a number of factors, including timely completion of the Offer, general economic and
business conditions, technological changes, increasing regulations or changes in government policies, competitive
landscape, as well as general factors affecting our business, results of operations, financial condition and access
to capital such as credit availability and interest rate levels, which are beyond our control. Furthermore, the
deployment of the Net Proceeds is at the discretion of our management, in accordance with applicable laws. In
particular, the amount of net proceeds that we will utilize towards acquisitions will be based on our management’s
decision, and may not constitute the total value or cost of any such acquisition. We are required to appoint any
monitoring agency to monitor the utilization of the Net Proceeds. If we are unable to deploy the Net Proceeds in
a timely or an efficient manner, it may affect our business and the results of operations.
57
42. Any variation in the utilisation of the Net Proceeds would be subject to certain compliance requirements,
including prior shareholders’ approval.
In accordance with Section 13(8) and Section 27 of the Companies Act, we cannot change the utilization of
the Net Proceeds or the terms of any contract as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus without obtaining
the Shareholders’ approval through a special resolution. We may not be able to obtain the Shareholders’ approval
in a timely manner, or at all, in the event we need to make such changes. Any delay or inability in obtaining such
Shareholders’ approval may adversely affect our business or operations.
Further, as required under Section 27 of the Companies Act, our Promoters would be required to provide an exit
opportunity to the shareholders who do not agree with our proposal to change the objects of the Offer or vary the
terms of such contracts, at a price and manner as prescribed by SEBI. The requirement to provide an exit
opportunity to such dissenting shareholders may deter our Promoters from agreeing to any changes made to the
proposed utilization of the Net Proceeds, even if such change is in our interest. Further, we cannot assure you that
our Promoters will have adequate resources to provide an exit opportunity at the price prescribed by SEBI. For
further details on exit opportunity to dissenting shareholders, see “Objects of the Offer — Variation in Objects”
on page 139. In light of these factors, we may not be able to undertake variation of object of the Offer to use any
unutilized proceeds of the Offer, if any, or vary the terms of any contract referred to in this Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, even if such variation is in our interest. This may restrict our ability to respond to any change in
our business or financial condition by re-deploying the unutilized portion of the Net Proceeds, if any, or varying
the terms of any contract, which may adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
43. After the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to collectively hold substantial shareholding in
our Company.
Following the completion of the Offer, our Promoters will continue to hold approximately [●]% of our post-Offer
Equity Share capital, for details of their shareholding pre and post Offer, see “Capital Structure” on page 85. This
concentration of ownership may delay, defer or even prevent a change in control of our Company and may make
some transactions more difficult without the support of our Promoters. The interests of our Promoters could
conflict with our interests or the interests of our other shareholders. Any such conflict may adversely affect our
ability to execute our business strategy or to operate our business.
44. We have, in the last 12 months, issued Equity Shares at a price that could be lower than the Offer Price.
We have, in the last 12 months prior to filing this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, issued Equity Shares at a price
that could be lower than the Offer Price. For further details, see “Capital Structure – Notes to Capital Structure
– Share Capital History – History of Equity share capital of our Company” on page 89.
EXTERNAL RISKS
45. A downgrade in ratings of India may affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
India’s sovereign debt rating could be downgraded due to several factors, including changes in tax or fiscal policy
or a decline in India’s foreign exchange reserves, all which are beyond our control. Our borrowing costs and our
access to the debt capital markets depend significantly on the sovereign credit ratings of India. Any adverse
revisions to India’s credit ratings for domestic and overseas debt by international rating agencies and, the interest
rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available may adversely impact our ability
to raise additional external financing. This could have an adverse effect on our business and future financial
performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
46. Our business is affected by economic, political and other prevailing conditions in India and the markets we
currently serve.
The Indian economy and the markets are influenced by economic, political and market conditions in India and
globally. The Issuer is incorporated in India, and all of our assets and employees are located in India. As a result,
we are dependent on prevailing economic conditions in India and our results of operations are affected by factors
58
influencing the Indian economy. Factors that may adversely affect the Indian economy, and hence our results of
operations, include, among others:
• the macroeconomic climate, including any increase in Indian interest rates or inflation;
• any exchange rate fluctuations, the imposition of currency controls and restrictions on the right to convert or
repatriate currency or export assets;
• any scarcity of credit or other financing in India, or change in India’s credit rating, resulting in an adverse
effect on economic conditions in India and scarcity of financing of our developments and expansions;
• volatility in, and actual or perceived trends in trading activity on, India’s principal stock exchanges;
• changes in India’s tax, trade, fiscal or monetary policies, such as application of GST;
• strikes, lock-outs, work stoppages or increased wage demands by employees, suppliers or other service
providers;
• political instability, civil unrest, acts of violence, terrorist attacks, regional conflicts or situations or war in
India or in countries in the region or globally, including in India’s various neighboring countries;
• man-made or natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and droughts, as well as the effects of
climate change;
• prevailing regional or global economic conditions, including in India’s principal export markets;
• other significant regulatory or economic developments in or affecting India or its financial services sectors;
• downgrade of India’s sovereign debt rating by an independent agency; and
• infectious disease outbreaks or other serious public health concerns, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the
highly pathogenic H7N9, H5N1 and H1N1 strains of influenza in birds and swine. A worsening of the current
COVID-19 pandemic or any similar future outbreaks of COVID-19, avian or swine influenza or a similar
contagious disease could adversely affect the Indian economy and economic activity in the region.
Our performance and the growth of our business depend on the performance of the Indian economy and the
economies of the regional markets we currently serve. Any slowdown or perceived slowdown in the Indian
economy, or in specific sectors of the Indian economy, could adversely affect our business, financial condition
and results of operations and the trading price of the Equity Shares.
47. Changing laws, rules and regulations and legal uncertainties across the multiple jurisdictions we operate in
may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The regulatory and policy environment in which we operate is evolving and subject to change. Such changes,
including the instances mentioned below, may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial
condition, cash flows and prospects, to the extent that we are unable to suitably respond to and comply with any
such changes in applicable law and policy.
For instance, GoI has announced the Union Budget for the Financial Year 2023-24 pursuant to which the Finance
Act, 2023 has introduced various amendments to taxation laws in India. Unfavorable changes in or interpretations
of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations including foreign investment and stamp duty
laws governing our business and operations could result in us being deemed to be in contravention of such laws
and may require us to apply for additional approvals.
In India, the Supreme Court, in a judgment delivered on August 24, 2017, has held that the right to privacy is a
fundamental right. Following this judgment, the Government of India is considering the enactment of the Digital
Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 on personal data protection for implementing organizational and technical
measures in processing personal data and lays down norms for cross-border transfer of personal data and to ensure
the accountability of entities processing personal data. The enactment of the aforesaid bill may introduce stricter
data protection norms for a company such as us and may impact our processes.
Further, the GoI introduced new laws relating to social security, occupational safety, industrial relations and wages
namely, the Code on Social Security, 2020 (“Social Security Code”), the Occupational Safety, Health and
59
Working Conditions Code, 2020, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 and the Code on Wages, 2019, which
consolidate, subsume and replace numerous existing central labor legislations, were to take effect from April 1,
2021 (collectively, the “Labour Codes”). The GoI has deferred the effective date of implementation of the
respective Labour Codes, and they shall come into force from such dates as may be notified. Different dates may
also be appointed for the implementation of different provisions of the Labour Codes. While the rules for
implementation under these codes have not been finalized, as an immediate consequence, the coming into force
of these codes could increase the financial burden on our Company, which may adversely impact our profitability.
For instance, under the Social Security Code, a new concept of deemed remuneration has been introduced, such
that where payments made by the employer to the employee exceeds half (or such other percentage as may be
notified by the Central Government) of their total remuneration in the form of allowances and other amounts that
are not included within the definition of wages under the Social Security Code, the excess amount received shall
be deemed as remuneration. Accordingly, such amount shall be added to wages for the purposes of the Social
Security Code.
Unfavorable changes in or interpretations of existing, or the promulgation of new laws, rules and regulations
including foreign investment and stamp duty laws governing our business and operations could result in us being
deemed to be in contravention of such laws and may require us to apply for additional approvals. We may incur
increased costs and other burdens relating to compliance with new requirements, which may also require
significant management time and other resources, and any failure to comply may adversely affect our business,
results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and prospects. Uncertainty in the application, interpretation
or implementation of any amendment to, or change in, governing law, regulation or policy, including by reason
of an absence, or a limited body, of administrative or judicial precedent may be time consuming as well as costly
for us to resolve and may impact the viability of our current business or restrict our ability to grow our businesses
in the future.
48. Investors may have difficulty enforcing foreign judgments against us or our management.
The Company is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of India. All of our directors and
executive officers are residents of India. A substantial portion of our assets and the assets of our Directors and
executive officers resident in India is located in India. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service
of process upon us or such persons outside India or to enforce judgments obtained against us or such parties
outside India.
Recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments is provided for under Sections 13, 14 and Section 44A of the
Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. India has reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and
commercial matters with only a limited number of jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, United Arab
Emirates, Singapore and Hong Kong. In order to be enforceable, a judgment from a jurisdiction with reciprocity
must meet certain requirements established in the Indian Code of Civil Procedure, 1908. The CPC only permits
the enforcement and execution of monetary decrees in the reciprocating jurisdiction, not being in the nature of
any amounts payable in respect of taxes, other charges, fines or penalties and does not apply to arbitration awards
(even if such awards are enforceable as a decree or judgment). Judgments or decrees from jurisdictions which do
not have reciprocal recognition with India, including the United States, cannot be enforced by proceedings in
execution in India. Therefore, a final judgment for the payment of money rendered by any court in a non-
reciprocating territory for civil liability, whether or not predicated solely upon the general laws of the non-
reciprocating territory, would not be directly enforceable in India. However, it is unlikely that a court in India
would award damages on the same basis as a foreign court if an action were brought in India or that an Indian
court would enforce foreign judgments if it viewed the amount of damages as excessive or inconsistent with the
public policy in India. Further, there is no assurance that a suit brought in an Indian court in relation to a foreign
judgment will be disposed of in a timely manner.
49. Subsequent to the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to surveillance measures, such as the
Additional Surveillance Measures and the Graded Surveillance Measures by the Stock Exchanges in order to
enhance the integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of investors.
Subsequent to the listing of the Equity Shares, we may be subject to Additional Surveillance Measures (“ASM”)
and Graded Surveillance Measures (“GSM”) by the Stock Exchanges. These measures are in place to enhance the
60
integrity of the market and safeguard the interest of investors. The criteria for shortlisting any security trading on
the Stock Exchanges for ASM is based on objective criteria, which includes market based parameters such as high
low price variation, concentration of client accounts, close to close price variation, market capitalization, average
daily trading volume and its change, and average delivery percentage, among others. Securities are subject to
GSM when its price is not commensurate with the financial health and fundamentals of the issuer. Specific
parameters for GSM include net worth, net fixed assets, price to earning ratio, market capitalization and price to
book value, among others. Factors within and beyond our control may lead to our securities being subject to GSM
or ASM. In the event our Equity Shares are subject to such surveillance measures implemented by any of the
Stock Exchanges, we may be subject to certain additional restrictions in connection with trading of our Equity
Shares such as limiting trading frequency (for example, trading either allowed once in a week or a month) or
freezing of price on upper side of trading which may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Equity
Shares or may in general cause disruptions in the development of an active trading market for our Equity Shares.
50. Our Equity Shares have never been publicly traded, and after the Offer, the Equity Shares may experience
price and volume fluctuations, and an active trading market for the Equity Shares may not develop. Further,
the Offer Price may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the Offer.
Prior to the Offer, there has been no public market for the Equity Shares, and an active trading market on the Stock
Exchanges may not develop or be sustained after the Offer. Listing and quotation does not guarantee that a market
for the Equity Shares will develop, or if developed, the liquidity of such market for the Equity Shares.
The determination of the Price Band is based on various factors and assumptions, and will be determined by our
Company and each Promoter Selling Shareholder, each Other Corporate Selling Shareholder and each Individual
Selling Shareholder in consultation with the Book Running Lead Managers. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares
is proposed to be determined by our Company and each Promoter Selling Shareholder, each Other Corporate
Selling Shareholder and each Individual Selling Shareholder in consultation with the Book Running Lead
Managers, through a book-building process. The Offer Price will be based on numerous factors, including factors
as described under “Basis for Offer Price” beginning on page 140, and may not be indicative of the market price
of the Equity Shares at the time of commencement of trading of the Equity Shares or at any time thereafter.
Further, the current market price of some securities listed pursuant to certain previous issues managed by the Book
Running Lead Managers is below their respective issue prices. For further details, see “Other Regulatory and
Statutory Disclosures — Price information of past issues handled by the BRLMs (during the current financial
year and the two financial years preceding the current financial year)” on page 444. The market price of our
Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors:
• results of operations that vary from the expectations of research analysts and investors;
• changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by research
analysts and investors;
• announcements by us or our competitors of new products, significant acquisitions, strategic alliances or joint
operations;
• claims or proceedings by third parties or governmental entities of significant claims or proceedings against us;
• new laws and governmental regulations or changes in laws and governmental regulations applicable to our
industry;
61
• general economic and stock market conditions.
There has been significant volatility in the Indian stock markets in the recent past, and the market price of the
Equity Shares may be subject to significant fluctuations in response to, among other factors, variations in our
operating results, market conditions specific to the industry we operate in, developments relating to India,
volatility in securities markets in jurisdictions other than India, variations in the growth rate of financial indicators,
variations in revenue or earnings estimates by research publications, and changes in economic, legal and other
regulatory factors. Consequently, the price of our Equity Shares may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell
your Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price, or at all. A decrease in the market price of our Equity Shares could
cause investors to lose some or all of their investment.
51. Investors may be subject to Indian taxes arising out of income from capital gains and stamp duty on the sale
of the Equity Shares and on the payment of dividends.
Under current Indian tax laws, unless specifically exempted, capital gains arising from the sale of equity shares
in an Indian company are generally taxable in India. Investors may be subject to payment of long-term or short
term capital gains tax in India, in addition to payment of STT, on the sale of any Equity Shares held for more or
less than 12 months immediately preceding the date of transfer. While non-residents may claim tax treaty benefits
in relation to such capital gains income, generally, Indian tax treaties do not limit India’s right to impose a tax on
capital gains arising from the sale of shares of an Indian company.
In terms of the Finance Act, 2018, with effect from April 1, 2018, taxes payable by an assessee on the capital
gains arising from transfer of long-term capital assets (introduced as Section 112A of the Income-Tax Act, 1961)
shall be calculated on such long-term capital gains at the rate of 10%, where the long-term capital gains exceed
₹100,000, subject to certain exceptions in case of resident individuals and Hindu Undivided Families. The stamp
duty for transfer of certain securities, other than debentures, on a delivery basis is currently specified at 0.015%
and on a non-delivery basis is specified at 0.003% of the consideration amount. There is no certainty on the impact
of Finance Act, 2022 on tax laws or other regulations, which may adversely affect the Company’s business,
financial condition, results of operations or on the industry in which we operate. Investors are advised to consult
their own tax advisors and to carefully consider the potential tax consequences of owning Equity Shares.
52. Qualified Institutional Buyers and Non-Institutional Investors are not permitted to withdraw or lower their
Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid.
Pursuant to the SEBI ICDR Regulations, QIBs and Non-Institutional Investors are required to pay the Bid Amount
on submission of the Bid and are not permitted to withdraw or lower their Bids (in terms of quantity of Equity
Shares or the Bid Amount) at any stage after submitting a Bid. While we are required to complete all necessary
formalities for listing and commencement of trading of the Equity Shares on all Stock Exchanges where such
Equity Shares are proposed to be listed including Allotment pursuant to the Offer within six Working Days from
the Bid/Offer Closing Date, events affecting the Bidders’ decision to invest in the Equity Shares, including adverse
changes in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic conditions, our business,
results of operation or financial condition may arise between the date of submission of the Bid and Allotment. We
may complete the Allotment of the Equity Shares even if such events occur, and such events may limit the Bidders’
ability to sell the Equity Shares allotted pursuant to the Offer or cause the trading price of the Equity Shares to
decline upon listing. QIBs and Non-Institutional Bidders will therefore not be able to withdraw or lower their bids
following adverse developments in international or national monetary policy, financial, political or economic
conditions, our business, results of operations, cash flows or otherwise, between the dates of submission of their
Bids and Allotment.
53. The Offer Price of the Equity Shares may not be indicative of the market price of the Equity Shares after the
Offer.
The Offer Price of the Equity Shares is proposed to be determined by our Company and each Promoter Selling
Shareholder, each Other Corporate Selling Shareholder and each Individual Selling Shareholder, in consultation
with the Book Running Lead Managers, through a book-building process. This price is based on numerous factors,
as described under “Basis for Offer Price” beginning on page 140, and may not be indicative of prices that will
prevail in the open market following the Offer. The market price of our Equity Shares could be subject to
significant fluctuations after the Offer and may decline below the Offer Price. In addition, the stock market often
62
experiences price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of
a particular company. These broad market fluctuations and industry factors may significantly reduce the market
price of the Equity Shares, regardless of our Company's performance. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure
you that investors will be able to resell their Equity Shares at or above the Offer Price.
54. Holders of Equity Shares could be restricted in their ability to exercise pre-emptive rights under Indian law
and could thereby suffer future dilution of their ownership position.
Under the Companies Act, a company having share capital and incorporated in India must offer holders of its
Equity Shares pre-emptive rights to subscribe and pay for a proportionate number of Equity Shares to maintain
their existing ownership percentages prior to the issuance of any new equity shares, unless the pre-emptive rights
have been waived by the adoption of a special resolution by holders of three-fourths of the Equity Shares who
have voted on such resolution.
However, if the laws of the jurisdiction that you are in does not permit the exercise of such pre-emptive rights
without us filing an offering document or registration statement with the applicable authority in such jurisdiction,
you will be unable to exercise such pre-emptive rights unless we make such a filing. We may elect not to file a
registration statement in relation to pre-emptive rights otherwise available by Indian law to you. To the extent that
you are unable to exercise pre-emptive rights granted in respect of the Equity Shares, you may suffer future
dilution of your ownership position and your proportional interests in us would be reduced.
55. Fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and foreign currencies may have an adverse effect
on the value of our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
On listing, our Equity Shares will be quoted in Indian Rupees on the NSE and BSE. Any dividends in respect of
our Equity Shares will also be paid in Indian Rupees and subsequently converted into the relevant foreign currency
for repatriation, if required. Any adverse movement in currency exchange rates during the time that it takes to
undertake such conversion may reduce the net dividend to foreign investors. In addition, any adverse movement
in currency exchange rates during a delay in repatriating outside India the proceeds from a sale of Equity Shares,
for example, because of a delay in regulatory approvals that may be required for the sale of Equity Shares may
reduce the proceeds received by Equity Shareholders. The exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the U.S.
dollar has fluctuated in recent years and may continue to fluctuate substantially in the future, which may have an
adverse effect on the returns on our Equity Shares, independent of our operating results.
56. A third party could be prevented from acquiring control of our Company because of anti-takeover provisions
under Indian law.
There are provisions in Indian law that may delay, deter or prevent a future takeover or change in control of the
Company, even if a change in control would result in the purchase of your Equity Shares at a premium to the
market price or would otherwise be beneficial to you. Such provisions may discourage or prevent certain types of
transactions involving actual or threatened change in control of our Company. Under the Takeover Regulations,
an acquirer has been defined as any person who, directly or indirectly, acquires or agrees to acquire shares or
voting rights or control over a company, whether individually or acting in concert with others. Although these
provisions have been formulated to ensure that interests of shareholders are protected, these provisions may also
discourage a third party from attempting to take control of our Company. Consequently, even if a potential
takeover of our Company would result in the purchase of the Equity Shares at a premium to their market price or
would otherwise be beneficial to its stakeholders, it is possible that such a takeover would not be attempted or
consummated because of the SEBI Takeover Regulations.
57. Any future issuance of Equity Shares, or convertible securities or other equity-linked securities by us may dilute
your shareholding and adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of the Equity Shares, convertible securities or securities linked to the Equity Shares by us,
including through exercise of employee stock options may dilute your shareholding in our Company, adversely
affect the trading price of the Equity Shares and our ability to raise capital through an issue of our securities. In
addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur could also affect the trading price
of the Equity Shares. We cannot assure you that we will not issue additional Equity Shares. The disposal of Equity
Shares by any of our Promoters, Promoter Group or other significant Shareholders, or the perception that such
63
sales may occur may significantly affect the trading price of the Equity Shares. Except as disclosed in “Capital
Structure” on page 85, we cannot assure you that our Promoters and Promoter Group will not dispose of, pledge
or encumber their Equity Shares in the future.
58. Rights of shareholders of companies under Indian law may be more limited than under the laws of other
jurisdictions.
Our Articles of Association, composition of our Board, Indian laws governing our corporate affairs, the validity
of corporate procedures, directors’ fiduciary duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and shareholders’ rights may
differ from those that would apply to a company in another jurisdiction. Shareholders’ rights under Indian law
may not be as extensive and widespread as shareholders’ rights under the laws of other countries or jurisdictions.
Investors may face challenges in asserting their rights as shareholder in an Indian company than as shareholders
of an entity in another jurisdiction.

1. Repayment/prepayment, in full or part, of certain borrowings availed of by our Company and our Subsidiaries
128
We avail majority of our fund based and non-fund based facilities in the ordinary course of business from various
banks and financial institutions. For further information on the financial indebtedness availed of by our Company,
see “Financial Indebtedness” beginning on page 424. As of June 30, 2023, we had an outstanding balance of our
borrowings, including secured and unsecured borrowings (long term and short term) of ₹ 4,620.46 million, on a
consolidated basis. Our Company proposes to utilize an aggregate amount of ₹ 1,236.67 million from the Net
Proceeds towards repayment/pre-payment, in full or in part, of certain borrowings availed of by our Company and
our Subsidiaries. The selection and extent of borrowings proposed to be prepaid and/or repaid by our Company
as mentioned below is based on various commercial considerations including, among others, the interest rate of
the relevant borrowings, prepayment charges, the amount of the borrowings outstanding and the remaining tenor
of the borrowings. The prepayment or scheduled repayment will help us reduce our outstanding indebtedness and
debt servicing costs, assist us in maintaining a favourable debt to equity ratio and enable utilization of our internal
accruals for further investment in business growth and expansion. In addition, the improvement in the debt to
equity ratio of our Company is intended to enable us to raise further resources in the future to fund potential
business development opportunities and plans to grow and expand our business in the future.

on a consolidated basis, which we propose to prepay or repay, in full or in part, from the Net Proceeds up to an

In compliance with Clause 9(A)(2)(b) of Part A of Schedule VI of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, the Statutory
Auditors pursuant to their certificate dated September 13, 2023, have certified the utilization of the above-
mentioned borrowings for the purposes such borrowings were availed for, as at June 30, 2023. For further
information on the terms and conditions of these financing arrangements, see “Financial Indebtedness” beginning
on page 424.
Given the nature of the borrowings and the terms of repayment or prepayment, the aggregate outstanding amounts
under the borrowings may vary from time to time and our Company may, in accordance with the relevant
repayment schedule, repay or refinance some of its existing borrowings prior to Allotment. Further, the amounts
outstanding under the borrowings as well as the sanctioned limits are dependent on several factors and may vary
with the business cycle of our Company with multiple intermediate repayments, drawdowns and enhancement of
sanctioned limits. Further, our Company may also avail additional borrowings after the date of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus and/or draw down further funds under existing loans from time to time. Accordingly, in case
any of the above loans are pre-paid or further drawn-down prior to the completion of the Offer, we may utilize
the Net Proceeds towards scheduled repayment / pre-payment of such additional indebtedness as will be disclosed
in the Red Herring Prospectus.
In light of the above, if at the time of filing the Red Herring Prospectus, any of the aforementioned loans are repaid
in part or full or refinanced or if any additional credit facilities are availed or drawn down and if the terms of new
loans are more onerous than the older loans or if the limits under the working capital borrowings are increased,
then the table above shall be suitably revised at the time of filing the Red Herring Prospectus to reflect the revised
amounts or loans as the case may be which have been availed by our Company.
Further, we may be subject to the levy of pre-payment penalties or premiums, depending on the facility being
repaid/prepaid, the conditions specified in the relevant documents governing such credit facility and the amount
outstanding/being pre-paid/repaid, as applicable. Payment of pre-payment penalty or premium, if any, shall be
made by our Company from the Net Proceeds. If the Net Proceeds are insufficient to the extent required for
making payments for such pre-payment penalties or premiums, such excessive amount shall be met from our
internal accruals.
In the event, our Company deploys the Net Proceeds in some of our Subsidiaries, for the purpose of prepayment,
repayment of all or a portion of the aforementioned borrowings, it shall be in the form of equity or debt or in any
other manner as may be decided by our Company. The actual mode of such deployment has not been finalized as
on the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
We fund a majority of our working capital requirements in the ordinary course of business from our internal
accruals/equity and financing facilities from various banks, financial institutions and non-banking financial
companies. The requirement is proportionate and variable in nature with the growth of the company. As on June
30, 2023, our Company has a total sanctioned limit of working capital facilities of ₹ 3,947.00 million, including
fund-based and non-fund based sub-limits. For details, see ‘Financial Indebtedness’ on page 424. We propose to
utilise ₹ 6,000.00 million from the Net Proceeds to fund the long term working capital requirements of our
Company and our Subsidiaries during Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026 towards (i) organic growth of our Company
and our Subsidiaries including purchase of products and incurring costs towards trading and distribution, (ii)
payments to purchase working capital through slump sale or business transfer, (iii) payment of GST and other
levies by Government, and (iv) balances, advances and security deposits maintained with customers, vendors,
and/or government authorities.
Our business is working capital intensive. Some of the factors which contribute to working capital requirements
include, (i) our healthcare product distribution caters to procurement needs of pharmacies, hospitals and clinics,
(ii) we provide a diverse spectrum of healthcare products, including pharmaceutical products, nutraceuticals,
medical devices, surgical consumables, over-the-counter medicines and vaccines, (iii) we have a nationwide
131
presence across 37 cities in 19 states and union territories, and (iv) longer durations taken by hospitals to settle
payments owing to longer cycle of insurance claims which results in a longer credit period. The investment in
the future working capital requirements of our Company and our Subsidiaries will help us in meeting the expected
growth in demand for the healthcare products distribution and services. Such working capital enhancement will
help our Company and our Subsidiaries to capitalise on the growth opportunities and expand into the new markets.

As per the standalone audited financial statements of our Company, the holding levels of inventory were 146 days
in Fiscal 2021, 87 days in Fiscal 2022 and 53 days in Fiscal 2023. The higher inventory levels in Fiscal 2021 and
Fiscal 2022 were primarily due to COVID related inventory. We expect the holding level to reduce by another 10
days over the next two years.
The working capital projections made by our Company (for itself and our Subsidiaries) are based on certain key
assumptions, as set out below:
133
We propose to utilise, out of the total proceeds of ₹ 6,000.00 million to be raised for the working capital
requirement, a maximum of ₹ 600.00 million towards funding the working capital requirements of our Company
and the balance of ₹ 5,400.00 million towards funding the working capital requirements of our Subsidiaries during
Fiscal Years 2025 and 2026. Our Company will deploy the Net Proceeds in our Subsidiaries, for the purpose of
funding the working capital requirements of such Subsidiaries, in the form of equity or debt or in any other manner
as may be decided by our Company. The actual mode of such deployment has not been finalized as on the date of
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
Our Company has in the past undertaken several acquisitions and we shall continue to evaluate acquisition
opportunities in the future that we believe supplement our strategic business objectives and growth strategies. In
line with our past practice, we intend to pursue opportunities to undertake acquisitions (i) that allow us to enhance
our scale and market position; (ii) that allow us to enhance our product portfolio including product category
adjacencies by unlocking potential synergy benefits; (iii) that provide us with a platform to extend our reach to
new geographic markets within India; and (iv) that add new services complementary to our service offerings or
that allow us to enter strategic businesses to capture additional revenue opportunities from our existing customer
base to improve our margin profile.
Our Company has undertaken 32 acquisitions in the past. Set forth hereunder are brief details of certain of the
acquisitions that we have undertaken in the past:
For details of acquisitions undertaken in the past by us, see “History and Certain Corporate Matters - Details
regarding material acquisitions or divestments of business/undertakings, mergers, amalgamation, any
revaluation of assets, etc. in the 10 years preceding the date of this Draft Red Herring Prospectus” on page 223
respectively.
Our acquisition strategy is primarily driven by our Board and the typical framework and process followed by us
for acquisitions involves identifying the strategic acquisitions based on the rationale set out above, entering into

Our organic growth strategy and associated investments are and will continue to be subject to multiple internal
and external factors, including applicable business requirements, investments in newer technology infrastructure
and platforms and towards adapting to changes in customer preferences and technological advancements. Some
of the selection criteria that we may consider when evaluating strategic acquisitions include:
The amount of Net Proceeds to be used for acquisitions will be based on our management’s decision and may not
be the total value or cost of any such acquisitions but is expected to provide us with sufficient financial leverage
to pursue such acquisitions, including payment towards goodwill and net assets and consideration for equity share
purchase.. For further details, see the section titled “Risk Factors – Our funding requirements and proposed
deployment of the Net Proceeds are based on management estimates and have not been independently
appraised by any bank or financial institution or any other independent agency, and may be subject to change
based on various factors, some of which are beyond our control” on page 57.
We intend to utilize the above-stated portion of the Net Proceeds towards our strategic acquisitions and/or
investments which may be undertaken over the course of three financial years. As on the date of this Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, we have not entered into any definitive agreements towards any future acquisitions or
strategic initiatives except for RS Enterprises (Bangalore) Private Limited and Dhanvantri Speciality Private
Limited. These factors will also determine the form of investment for these potential acquisitions, i.e., whether
they will be directly done by our Company or through investments in our subsidiaries in the form of equity, debt
or any other instrument or combination thereof, or whether these will be in the nature of business, asset or
technology acquisitions or joint ventures.
The proposed inorganic acquisitions shall be undertaken in accordance with the applicable laws, including the
Companies Act, FEMA and the regulations notified thereunder, as the case may be. Further, in accordance with
the SEBI Listing Regulations, our Company will disclose to the Stock Exchanges, details of acquisition and/or
investments such as cost and nature of such acquisition and/or investments, as and when acquired. We undertake
that the acquisition and/or investments proposed to be undertaken from the Net Proceeds shall not be acquired
from the Promoter, Promoter Group entities, Group Companies, affiliates or any other related parties.
The Net Proceeds will first be utilized towards the Objects as set out above. Subject to this, our Company intends
to deploy any balance Net Proceeds towards general corporate purposes as approved by our management, from
time to time, subject to such utilization for general corporate purposes not exceeding 25% of the gross proceeds
of the Fresh Issue, in compliance with the SEBI ICDR Regulations. Further, the cumulative amount to be utilized
towards general corporate purposes and our object of pursuing inorganic initiatives shall not exceed 35% of the
Gross Proceeds. The general corporate purposes may include, but are not restricted to meeting fund requirements
which our Company may face in the ordinary course of business, strengthening marketing capabilities and brand
building exercises, meeting ongoing general corporate contingencies, business requirements of our Company in
the ordinary course of business towards salaries and wages, rent, administration expenses, upgrading our
technology and maintenance, payment to creditors, advisory services, and any other purpose as may be approved
by the Board or a duly appointed committee from time to time, subject to compliance with the necessary provisions
of the Companies Act, 2013. The allocation or quantum of utilization of funds towards the specific purposes
described above will be determined by our Board, based on our business requirements and other relevant
considerations, from time to time. Our management, in accordance with the policies of the Board, shall have the
135
flexibility in utilizing surplus amounts, if any. In the event that we are unable to utilize the entire amount that we
have currently estimated for use out of Net Proceeds in a Fiscal, we will utilize such unutilized amount in the next
Fiscal.
In case of variations in the actual utilization of funds designated for the purposes set forth above, increased fund
requirements for a particular purpose may be financed by surplus funds or through our internal accruals, if any
which are not applied to the other purposes set out above.
Bridge Financing
Our Company has not raised any bridge loans from any bank or financial institution as on the date of this Draft
Red Herring Prospectus, which are proposed to be repaid from the Net Proceeds.
Means of Finance
The funding requirements for the Objects detailed above are proposed to be funded from the Net Proceeds.
Accordingly, we confirm that there is no requirement to make firm arrangements of finance under Regulation
7(1)(e) of the SEBI ICDR Regulations through verifiable means towards at least 75% of the stated means of
finance, excluding the amount to be raised from the Fresh Issue and existing identifiable accruals, as prescribed
under the SEBI ICDR Regulations. In case of a shortfall in the Net Proceeds or any increase in the actual utilization
of funds earmarked for Objects, our Company may explore a range of options including utilizing our internal
accruals.

Global GDP is estimated to grow 3.0% in 2023 and 2024 amid concerns over the Russia-Ukraine conflict,
elevated inflation and stress in the US financial sector
As per the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) July 2023 update, global gross domestic product (GDP) growth
is expected to moderate from 3.5% in 2022 to 3.0% in 2023 and 2024. The latest estimate is 0.2 percentage point
higher for 2023 compared with IMF’s previous forecast in April, mainly due to easing of acute stress in the
financial and banking sector and a resilient performance of the services sector across the globe. Economic
slowdown compared with 2022 is expected to be mainly driven by distress in financial systems, broadening
inflationary pressures, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and a slowdown in China. According to the IMF, the growth
forecast for 2023 reflects the rise in central bank rates to fight inflation, especially in advanced economies as well
as the impact of the war in Ukraine. The decline in growth in 2023 is driven by advanced economies; in emerging
market and developing economies, growth is estimated to have bottomed out in 2022. Growth is expected to pick
up in China with full reopening of the economy in 2023. The expected pickup in growth in 2024 in both emerging
and advanced economies should be driven by a gradual recovery from the effects of the war in Ukraine and
subsiding inflation.
As per the IMF update, achieving sustained disinflation has been the top priority for most economies amid the
cost-of-living crisis. With tighter monetary conditions and lower growth potentially affecting the stability of
financial and debt markets, reopening of the Chinese economy would safeguard the recovery and ease supply
chain bottlenecks.

India was one of the fastest-growing economies in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, all countries, including developed
ones such as the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), except China, saw their GDP contracting due
to the pandemic impact. India’s GDP shrank 5.8% in fiscal 2021 (financial year: April-March). In 2021, GDP
growth of all major economies rebounded as economic activities resumed and also due to the low base of 2020.
Among the major economies, India, with a growth rate of ~9.1%, was the fastest growing economy in 2021,
followed by China at 8.4%. The country also overtook the UK as the fifth-largest economy in the world in the
April-June quarter of 2022 and registered GDP growth of 6.8% in 2022. India is expected to grow faster than
China in 2023 and 2024 and its GDP is expected to grow 6.1% in 2023 and 6.3% in 2024 as per the IMF forecast.

In fiscal 2022, India recovered from pandemic-related stress following the resumption of economic activity and
easing of restrictions, although geopolitical pressures in the last quarter resulted in higher inflation. However,
resumption of economic activity and healthy trade flows led to robust GDP growth of 9.1% in fiscal 2022 after
declining 5.8% in fiscal 2021.

While the Indian economic recovery continues to gather pace after the pandemic, there are several risks. Global
growth is projected to slow as central banks in major economies withdraw easy monetary policies to tackle high
inflation, leading to lower demand for Indian exports. Together with high commodity prices, especially oil, this
may lead to a trade shock for the country. High commodity prices, along with depreciating rupee, indicate higher
imported inflation.
Data for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2023 reflect how the global slowdown had begun to spill over into
the Indian economy. The first three quarter of fiscal 2023 saw a decline in the contribution of net exports to GDP
growth, but the fourth quarter saw a recovery and positive growth. S&P Global expects US GDP to slow to 0.7%
in CY2023 from 2.1% in CY2022 and eurozone GDP to decline to 0.3% from 3.5%. Major developed economies
are expected to fall into a shallow recession in CY2023. S&P Global expects US GDP growth to swerve from
1.8% in CY2022 to negative 0.1% in CY2023, and European Union GDP growth to plunge from 3.3% to 0%.
This will weaken the export prospects for India, thereby weighing on domestic industrial activity but strong
domestic consumption will sustain growth in a reasonable range.
After robust growth in fiscal 2023, a slowdown is inevitable this fiscal due to rising borrowing costs. But domestic
demand in fiscal 2024 looks promising due to declining commodity costs and decelerating inflation. CRISIL
expects the government’s sustained infrastructure spend to further support growth momentum.
Domestic demand has stayed relatively resilient so far and would be tested in fiscal 2024 by weakening industrial
activity from the global slowdown. While domestic interest rates are rising slower than in advanced countries,
bank lending rates have reached the pre-pandemic five-year average. Hence, domestic demand is expected to
moderate, especially in interest-sensitive industries such as housing and automobiles.
Also, rural income prospects continue to depend on the vagaries of weather. Therefore, increasing frequency of
extreme weather events remains a key monitorable. While falling demand for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) jobs is an encouraging sign for the rural economy from a job perspective,
156
depressed wages are a matter of concern for rural demand. Besides the global slowdown, a forecast of El Niño,
which disturbs Indian monsoons, is another risk to rural income and needs to be monitored.
Led by these factors, CRISIL projects GDP growth to slow to 6.0% in fiscal 2024, with risks skewed to the
downside.
-6.6%
On the supply side, gross value added (GVA) grew 7.0% last fiscal, as per provisional estimates (compared with
8.8% in fiscal 2022). In absolute terms, real GVA rose to ₹147.6 trillion last fiscal from ₹138.0 trillion in fiscal
2022.
India achieved an all-time high annual export of $770 billion in fiscal 2023, up 13.84% from $676 billion in fiscal
2022. Merchandise and services exports clocked a steady 5% CAGR during the mentioned period. The steady rise
in exports can be attributed to India becoming a major manufacturing hub for key products as well as the central

According to the UN, the global median age rose to ~30 years in 2020 from ~20 years in 1970. This is lower than
the median age in developed countries such as the US (37.5 years) and the UK (39.5 years).
Interestingly, India’s median age is 27.3 years, indicating a favourable demographic dividend. Furthermore, it is
the lowest among its BRIC peers: Brazil (32.4 years), Russia (38.6 years), and China 37.4 years. This trend is
expected to continue up to 2030, indicating the strong potential for an increase in income, and basic and healthcare
spending, with a large proportion of the population being employed. The median age is expected to reach 30.9
years in 2030, indicating a higher mid-age working population.
Global healthcare spending has been rising in sync with economic growth. As the economy grows, public and
private spending on health grows, too. Further, an increase in sedentary work has heightened the risk of chronic
diseases, which is also raising healthcare spending. This is evident specifically in fast-growing economies. The
US, the UK, France and Germany are the top four nations with the highest healthcare expenditure as a percentage
of GDP.
As per Global Health Expenditure Database compiled by the World Health Organization (WHO), global
expenditure on healthcare increased slightly over 2011-2020. Globally, healthcare expenditure as a percentage of
GDP increased from 9.4% in 2011 to 10.9% in 2020 due to availability of better medical facilities, advancements
in medicine, and an increase in disposable income.
India’s public spending on healthcare services is much lower than that of its global peers. In 2020, India’s
expenditure on healthcare was 3% of GDP; it trails not just developed countries such as the US and the UK, but
also developing countries such as Brazil, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Thailand. India’s per capita
160
healthcare expenditure (at an international dollar rate, adjusted for purchasing power parity) was only $57 in 2020,
versus $11,702 for the US, $5,619 for Canada, $3031 for Korea, $4,927 for the UK and $3,537 for Singapore.

In terms of government expenditure as a percentage of GDP, India spends approximately 2.2% on healthcare.
This includes expenditure on healthcare by central and state governments. In the national health policy document,
2017, it was recommended that the government’s healthcare expenditure be increased to 2.5% of GDP by 2025.
Also, the Fifteenth Finance Commission, in its report, had recommended that public health expenditure of union
and states together be increased in a progressive manner to reach 2.5% of GDP by 2025. In keeping with this
161
objective, the central and state governments’ budgeted expenditure on the healthcare sector reached 2.1% of GDP

Pharmaceutical care is constantly evolving, with many novel drugs entering the market. These offer alternative
treatments and, in some cases, the prospect of treating conditions previously considered incurable. However, the
cost of new drugs can be very high, with significant implications for healthcare budgets. In 2019, retail
pharmaceuticals accounted for almost one-fifth of all healthcare expenditure and represented the third-largest
spending component in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, behind
inpatient and outpatient care. Most spending on retail pharmaceuticals is for prescription medicines (79%), with
the remainder spent on over-the-counter (OTC) medicines (21%).
162
Personal healthcare expenditure increased from ₹1,813 billion in fiscal 2012 to ₹4,135 billion in fiscal 2022,
supported by an increase in government schemes, health spending by states, an increase in income levels, and a
rise in disease incidence. Healthcare expenditure in terms of current prices logged an 8.6% CAGR between fiscals
2012 and 2022, considering the rise in prices of health products and services. Health expenditure as a percentage
of total PFCE jumped to 4.8% in fiscal 2022, as healthcare spending rose because of the pandemic.

• An estimated ₹892 billion has been allocated to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare for this fiscal, with
increase of 13% year on year.
• A new programme to promote research and innovation in pharmaceuticals will be taken up through centres of
excellence by encouraging the industry to invest in R&D in specific priority areas, such as medical devices and
health technologies.
India’s fast-growing healthcare industry has become one of the leading contributors to the economy. A confluence
of economic and demographic factors is driving healthcare demand in the country. Factors such as an ageing
population, a growing middle class, an increasing number of lifestyle diseases, and adoption of technology are the
key drivers of the healthcare industry in India. The domestic healthcare industry comprises the following
segments: healthcare delivery (hospital), pharmaceuticals, health insurance, medical devices, diagnostic services,
medical equipment, and other support services to healthcare players. The overall healthcare market is the
163
ecosystem of all the mentioned sub-segments wherein the service provider interacts with the end-consumer
through connected means.

The healthcare ecosystem in India is a combination of services provided by the healthcare delivery system,
diagnostic centres, pharmaceutical supply chain, health insurance providers, medical consumables, medical device
and equipment suppliers. Pharmaceutical/ healthcare product distributors are the link between healthcare product
manufacturers and healthcare delivery touchpoints such as hospitals, pharmacies, and diagnostic services. End-
consumers or patients can access these services through different means.
Hospitals/ clinics are accessed directly by end-consumers; health insurance makes access to hospitals easier.
Patients usually seek inpatient department (IPD) and outpatient department (OPD) services in hospitals.
Diagnostic services, medical devices and pharmaceutical products are accessed by end-users through different
means. For diagnostic services, patients can walk into diagnostic centres or can be referred by hospitals/ clinics
to in-house diagnostic centres in hospitals or independent diagnostic centres. Medical equipment is usually
employed by hospitals and diagnostic centres according to operational needs. Medical devices and consumables
are largely used in hospitals and diagnostic centres, while some medical devices and consumables such as BP
monitors, thermometers and bandages are also sold through the OTC route by retail pharmacies.
Pharmaceutical products are available at local pharmacies with prescription or OTC. For IPD patients, hospitals
generally have their own pharmacy, through which products are dispensed directly to these patients. OPD patients
can use external pharmacies for buying pharmaceutical products.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the world’s third largest by volume and was valued at ₹3.6-3.8 trillion
(including bulk drugs and formulation exports) as of last fiscal. The industry can be broadly classified into
formulations and bulk drugs. Formulations can further be divided into domestic formulations and export
formulations, both having almost an equal share in the market. At present, low-value generic drugs constitute a
large part of Indian exports. India accounts for ~3.5% of total drugs and medicines exported globally, and exports
pharmaceuticals to more than 200 countries and territories, including highly regulated markets such as the US,
the UK, the European Union and Canada. India has a complete ecosystem for the development and manufacturing
of pharmaceuticals, with companies having state-of-the-art facilities and skilled/ technical manpower. Moreover,
the country has several renowned pharmaceutical educational and research institutes and a robust ecosystem of
allied industries.

The pharmaceutical supply chain facilitates the distribution of pharmaceutical drugs, consumables and medical
devices through a network of distributors, retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, and e-pharmacies.
167
The pharmaceutical supply chain has evolved over the years, with the entry of larger players in both the
distribution and retail space. The Indian pharmaceutical supply chain was earlier characterised by a large number
of local/standalone players across the value chain, but with consolidation in both the distribution and retail space,
the pharma supply chain is gradually shifting towards large/national players.
Large/national pharmaceutical distributors have a multi-state/regional presence and operations in more than 3-4
states across the country. Similarly, large/national retailers have established brand/retail chains of retail-
pharmacies in more than 3-4 states in India.
Also, players in the pharma supply chain traditionally limited themselves to providing specific products. This has
changed in recent years, with players providing personalised experiences and value-added services to patients and
end-consumers.
Moreover, pharma supply chain operations were performed manually. However, this has changed in recent years
with the adoption of technology to improve business operations by employing sophisticated tools for order
tracking, inventory managements and demand supply analytics.
Pharmaceutical and healthcare products manufacturers/marketers: They serve as the first point of supply in the
pharmaceutical distribution market. Companies manufacture finished products at their manufacturing facilities.
These facilities are usually clustered in pharmaceutical manufacturing hubs, which provide certain financial
benefits to manufacturers.
Carry forward (C&F) agents: Finished product consignments from pharmaceutical manufacturers first arrive at
C&F agents, which provide storage facilities, execute the supply order and maintain receivables from distributors.
They also provide sales records and market information to the company, and sales tax details to government
departments.
Distributors: Distributors are generally given the responsibility of a large geographical region (one or few
states/cities, depending on size), with the core function of supplying pharmaceutical/healthcare products to the
retail pharmacies and hospital customers. Distributors are the key link in the pharmaceutical supply chain since
they aggregate the requirements of multiple pharmacies and then segregate the demand company-wise. They also
undertake replenishment, thus optimising the inventory and fulfilment rate in the value chain. Therefore, the
distributor’s relationship with retailers, inventory management, range of products, geographical coverage, among
other areas, becomes very critical. It plays a role in the distributor’s operations and helps strengthen the
distributor’s position in healthcare product manufacturer books. In an emerging trend, healthcare product
manufacturers are tying up with some large/national distributors for reaching out to retailers and running
marketing and promotional campaigns, etc.
168
Retailers/hospitals/physicians: Retailers provide last-mile connectivity in the pharmaceutical supply chain and
serve as the face of the supply chain for patients/customers. The retailer’s core function is to dispense the medicine
to the patients as prescribed by the doctor. Apart from pharmacy retailers, hospitals and physicians also dispense
medicines to patients and thus play a critical role in providing pharma/healthcare products to the end
consumers/patients.
Typical pharma supply chain has manufacturers/marketers, C&F agents, distributors and retailers
The domestic pharmaceutical supply chain typically involves C&F agents appointed by a company
(pharmaceutical and healthcare products manufacturer/marketer). They are responsible for handling the
warehousing and transportation of drugs sourced from several of the manufacturer’s production sites. These agents
then supply drugs to distributors who place orders with these stations as per their requirements. Distributors
constitute an important link between the pharmaceutical and healthcare products manufacturer and end consumers,
considering they supply these products to retail pharmacies, hospitals and physicians.
However, there can be variations in these basic pharmaceutical supply chains since distributors can supply to retail
pharmacies through sub-distributors. Sometimes, an exclusive distributor may be appointed by pharmaceutical
and healthcare product companies to cater to a specific type of client, for example, hospitals and institutions.
On the demand side, retail pharmacies, hospitals and physicians are the main channels through which distribution
to end consumers takes place. Retail pharmacies account for a majority of the demand, with an 80-85% share
(large/national retailers: 5-10%, traditional/local retailers: 70-75%), followed by hospitals (12-15%) and
physicians (remaining 3-5%).
The role of intermediaries and associated mark-ups is a critical factors in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The
markup (or trade margin) is computed as the difference between the retail price of a medicine and cost price of
the manufacturer. On average, the margin for a pharmaceutical manufacturer ranges between 40% and 60%,
depending on the product and type of customer. C&F stations, which are company-appointed, retain margins of
2-4%. In the case of distributors, the margin comes is 8-15%, while for retailers it is 20-25%. For medical
consumables and devices, the channel margin (Inclusive of distributors and retailers) ranges 1.5-2.0 times the
channel margin in the pharmaceutical products. The higher channel margin in the medical devices and
consumables can be function of the lesser influence of physicians and doctors on the product prescription
compared with pharmaceutical products, which gives supply chain players more leverage and, thus, better channel
margins.
The Indian pharmaceutical distribution space has ~65,000 distributors and more than 900,000 retailers . The
supply chain is still dominated by traditional small players in the distribution and retail segments. However, the
pharmaceutical distribution industry is consolidating, with larger players acquiring smaller traditional local
distributors to increase market reach and achieve better operational performance. The share of large/national
distributors in India is 8-10%; the remaining is accounted for by traditional local distributors. The retail segment
is also dominated by local and standalone pharmacies. With the entry of large retail chains and e-pharmacies, this
retail channel is also poised for consolidation.

Indian pharma market to log a healthy 9-10% CAGR between fiscals 2023 and 2028
The distribution network plays a critical role in making pharmaceutical products available to end consumers. The
drug supply chain involves several stakeholders, from manufacturers who produce pharmaceutical and healthcare
products to intermediaries at the wholesale and retail levels. In India, ~3,000 pharmaceutical companies
manufacture products in over 10,500 industrial units and supply through 65,000 distributors, with a strong
penetration of ~900,000 private retail chemists. Given the country’s size in terms of geography and population,
as well as a fragmented and vast private health sector, the task of the pharmaceutical supply chain is critical in
serving end users.
Pharmaceutical distribution is a key aspect in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The Indian pharmaceutical market
is the value of formulation sales sold through distributors to retailers. The distribution market, which is dominated
by traditional local distributors, is fragmented. With the overall Indian healthcare market growing, the
pharmaceutical market has also expanded at a healthy 8% CAGR from fiscal 2017 to reach ₹1.8 trillion in fiscal
2023. It is poised to grow at 9-10% CAGR between fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2028, aided by strong demand as a
result of rising incidence of chronic diseases, increased awareness and access to quality healthcare.

Typically, pharmaceutical distributors in India cater to the distribution of pharmaceutical products along with
other healthcare products such as medical devices and consumables. Thus, market catered by pharmaceutical
distributors consisting of pharmaceutical products and medical devices form the target addressable market for
pharmaceutical distributors in India is valued at ₹2.7 trillion (USD 33.2 billion) in fiscal 2023 and is expected to
grow at 10-11% CAGR from fiscal 2023 to fiscal 2028.
The supply chain function for distributors includes distribution tasks that range from timely supply of
pharmaceutical and healthcare product to retailers and consignee agent for pharmaceutical companies, to setting
up and maintaining warehousing and cold chain management facilities, transportation, debtor management, and
reverse logistics. Pharmaceutical products and devices, including life-saving medicines, require special storage,
transportation and handling to ensure product quality. Hence, it is critical to provide good cold chain and
warehouse infrastructure throughout the supply chain, especially at the distributor level. Due to the current
fragmented nature of the supply chain in India, scaled-up, compliant and efficient warehousing and logistics
remains a challenge. Distributors are the key link in the pharmaceutical supply chain since they aggregate the
requirements of multiple pharmacies and then do the replenishment, thus optimising the inventory and fulfilment
rate in the value chain.
The domestic pharmaceutical supply chain typically involves a company (pharmaceutical and healthcare products
manufacturer)-appointed C&F agents, responsible for handing warehousing and transportation of drugs sourced
171
from various manufacturing sites. C&F agents then supply the drugs to distributors, which place orders with C&F
stations, according to their requirements. Distributors are an important link between pharmaceutical and
healthcare products manufacturers and end consumers since they aggregate the requirement of these products
from retail pharmacies, hospitals and physicians. They then replenish the products, thus optimising the inventory
and fulfilment rate in the value chain.
India has lower penetration of large/national distributors compared with developed markets, thus presenting
growth potential for large/national distributors
When compared with other global developed pharmaceutical markets, India’s market is highly fragmented. The
distribution of pharmaceutical products in India is extremely fragmented, with ~65,000 distributors as of March
31, 2023. These generally only service limited local areas, unlike developed markets where large nationwide
distributors occupy a dominant market position. As a result, in India, healthcare brands and product manufacturers
need to work with a large number of small wholesalers and distributors to make products available to end
consumers.
In these developed markets, established pharmaceutical distributors have focused on consolidation. They account
for an over 90-95% market share of the overall pharmaceutical distribution market in the US and ~95-97% in
Germany. The penetration of large/national distributors in the Indian market is lower compared with these
developed markets, presenting an opportunity for large/national players to consolidate in the market and tap the
growth potential from consolidation.
Share of large/national distributors low in India, compared with major pharma markets
172
Large/national pharmaceutical distributors accounted for 8-10% share of the total distributor sales in fiscal
2023, going ahead expected to rise to 20-30% by fiscal 2028
India’s pharmaceutical distribution market is highly fragmented and competitive with the presence of over 65,000
distributors. The Indian pharmaceutical distribution market remains very fragmented with traditional local
distributors dominating the market with a market share of 90-92%, and large/national distributors, with 8-10%.
The market catered by large/national distributors was valued at ₹150-170 billion last fiscal.
As of 2021, around a fourth of the overall pharmaceutical distribution market was concentrated in tier-1 cities
(Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore), while the tier-2 cities and
beyond markets remain relatively underpenetrated.
However, India is witnessing a shift from standalone/traditional distributors to large/national distributors having
a wider presence, backed by market consolidation and the need for a reliable and scalable supply channel by
pharmaceutical and healthcare product manufacturers, among other factors. Market consolidation in India’s
pharmaceutical distribution market, is expected to be supported by factors such as the introduction of the Good
and Services Tax regime and benefits presented by the consolidation of the segment, such as access to additional
capital, better resource management, advantages of scale, procurement and operational efficiencies and
management expertise, the establishment of a technology-driven country-wide distribution network, better
infrastructure, quick turnaround times and high fill rates. Additionally, with the digitalisation of the
pharmaceutical supply chain, mergers and acquisitions in the retail pharmaceutical space will support overall
consolidation in the industry. The share of large/national distributors is expected to rise to 20-30% by fiscal 2028,
growing at 25-30% CAGR, with stronger inorganic growth for the large/national players in the pharmaceutical
distribution segment, as a result of consolidation.

Distributor
Higher volume sales, technology intervention and process-led efficiencies could help large distribution players
attract better margins
Large/national distributors have higher volume sales, operational efficiencies, adjacent products and technology
intervention, which could help attract better margins. Compared with traditional local distributors, large
distributors may attract better gross and net margins, given their better ability to negotiate with suppliers, i.e.,
pharmaceutical and healthcare product manufacturers. Traded goods purchased constitute the major cost, of
174
~90%, for pharmacy distributors. Employee costs are 2-3% for the total sales, and power and other operational
costs account for another 1-2%. The net profit margin for pharmacy distributors is 2-3%.

Pharmaceutical distributors have adjacency potential in medical devices, consumables and other products
Pharmaceutical distributors in India are primarily into distributing pharmaceutical products to retailers and
hospitals. With the evolution of the retail pharmacy landscape, players are stocking a higher number of stock
keeping units (SKUs) of products such as medical devices, consumables and other healthcare products. The Indian
pharmaceutical market is characterised by the sale of over-the-counter (OTC) products, including medical devices
and consumables, many of which, are sold through this route, spurring demand in the segment in recent years.
Apart from this, rising awareness for healthcare products has also helped other healthcare product sales.
Distributors are expected to tap into this adjacency by providing a distribution network for medical devices and
consumable products as the supply chain and stakeholders for these products are similar to those for
pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceutical distributors can thus, cater to supply of medical devices and consumables to
hospitals and retail pharmacies. Moreover, their know-how on local markets also makes partnering with them
attractive for companies selling medical devices and consumables, giving them better retail and hospital customer
reach.
Large/national pharma distributors can be marketing and distribution partners for manufacturers/marketers
Distributors constitute an important link between pharmaceutical and healthcare product companies, as well as
retailers and end users. Often, pharmaceutical products are branded and promoted through sales representatives
by pharmaceutical manufacturing companies across distribution channels. The Indian pharmaceutical market is
dominated by the branded generics segment, which needs promotion and marketing through distribution channels
in the pharmaceutical value chain. Distributors, which form a key link between suppliers and end consumers, can
act as partners for marketing particular products for pharmaceutical and healthcare product companies.
In some cases, Indian and multinational pharmaceutical companies also tie-up with large distributors for end-to-
end marketing activities, which may involve exclusive marketing and distribution for some brands. Large/national
distributors have connects with doctors and the field force, which helps companies increase their products’ reach.
Moreover, these distributors have a strong presence in regional markets and have connects with retail pharmacies
and hospital customers, which gives them the advantage of a wider reach. Pharmaceutical companies leverage
this reach and enter partnerships with these distributors to push their products across different markets. These
distributors, in return, get exclusive marketing and distribution rights for particular brands and thus, better control
over the channel margin.
175
Pharmaceutical companies invest in marketing and promotional activities to strengthen their presence and increase
product reach. They usually spend 4-5% of their revenue on marketing. As of fiscal 2023, the marketing spend
for the Indian pharmaceutical industry was estimated at ₹80-90 billion.
The Indian pharmacy distribution market is highly fragmented, with regional players. Currently, pharmaceutical
and healthcare product manufacturers have considerable distributors across the value chain. Manufacturers, as
well as retail pharmacies, may prefer lesser distributors for better supply chain operational efficiencies with
reduced complexities. These operational efficiencies can be achieved through reduced logistics costs as a result
of streamlined procurement and distribution, as provided by large/national distributors. The industry incurs 4-6%
of revenue as logistics costs, and thus, with operational efficiencies in the pharmaceutical supply chain, these costs
can be reduced.
The pharmacy distribution industry has companies that usually operate regionally and have a limited portfolio of
products. In recent times, however, the industry has seen consolidation, with larger/national players acquiring
smaller and local traditional distributors. This allows players to have a wider product portfolio, as well as greater
geographical reach, in a particular market. Consolidation has also helped the supply chain from the perspective of
suppliers (pharmaceutical and healthcare product manufacturers) and retail pharmacies. Large/national players
also typically provide higher fill rates to retail pharmacies. Consolidation is expected to positively impact the
overall pharmaceutical distribution supply chain, with faster and convenient order placement and increased
operational efficiencies.
Over the past few years, technology has become an integral part of industries, ranging from automobiles to
pharmaceuticals. Technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence and data analytics, are used in
pharmaceutical distribution to enhance customer offerings, given that they help develop better insights that would
help further in inventory management, improving fill rates, and generating efficient recommendations for end-
user segments such as retailers, creating demand for the distribution segment. In addition, technology would aid
faster deliveries, helping reduce logistical barriers and improve the operational efficiency further.
From end consumers’ point of view, technology, especially Internet, is playing a critical role in determining how
services are offered by businesses. From B2B businesses to retail customers, the usage of Internet in delivering
product services is critical. India has witnessed a significant surge in Internet users over the past few years, with
penetration as a percentage of the total population reaching ~61% in fiscal 2022 from less than 20% in fiscal 2015.
CRISIL MI&A Research expects the total number of Internet subscribers to reach 1,000 million by fiscal 2026,
resulting in ~75% Internet penetration. The use of Internet and allied technology in businesses will be a key
success factor for companies.
The term omnichannel refers to an engagement that integrates events and channels (offline and online models)
through which customers buy medicines. In recent times, retail pharmacies have been adopting omnichannel
strategies to expand their user base across regions. With the advent of technology in the space and increase in
Internet penetration in the country, e-retailers have seen keener penetration. In addition to offline pharmacies, e-
pharmacies are starting to penetrate the Indian pharmacy distribution market. This omni-channel presence would
back demand for the distribution segment, as retail players try to expand their customer base through online and
offline distribution channels.
Surgical and medical devices are sold through retail pharmacies, along with pharmaceutical products. These
devices include syringes, needles, and diagnostic devices, and are also often pushed through the distributors’
channels already used for pharmaceutical products. Increased health awareness and a changing attitude towards
preventive healthcare have helped demand in the surgical and medical devices space. Growth in the segment can
benefit pharmaceutical distributors, as surgical and medical devices are often pushed through these same
pharmaceutical distribution channels to retail pharmacies and hospitals.
176
Increasing government focus on generics to further support distributors
At 90-95%, branded generics (off-patent drugs sold on brand names) comprise a lion's share of the domestic
pharmaceutical industry. To render the availability of quality healthcare affordable, the government has
undertaken steps to increase the uptake of unbranded generics. It introduced the Jan Aushadhi Yojana in
November 2008 to sell low-cost, unbranded, but quality medicines to all citizens via stores called Jan Aushadhi
Kendras. Further penetration of generics would aid pharmacy distribution players by providing a shift in pricing
power from brands, which will support growth of the pharmacy distribution segment in India.
Micro-market and regional sales data in the pharmaceutical market is a key input for pharmaceutical companies.
It helps pharmaceutical and healthcare product companies understand demand trends in the market. With this data,
companies can identify key target areas, preferences, demand-supply dynamics, and product sales, among others.
Distributors often track and store demand-supply data for market or region they cater to in terms of micro-market
trends, brand performance, company-level sales data and so on. Distributors who collect and compile this data
can act as a key source for micro-market and region-specific data for large pharmaceutical and healthcare product
companies. With the use of data analytics, companies can get market and procurement insights from distributors,
and customise their offerings to engage more customers.
Covid-19 disrupted supply chains across various industries in India. Pharmaceuticals, considered essential, was
exempted from restrictions. However, a shortage of manpower and supply chain complexities impacted supply.
The pharmaceutical supply chain especially, which is highly fragmented, was also impacted. Covid-19 brought a
shift to large retail channels and e-pharmacies, given these were more convenient and supply chains for these
players were more robust with the adoption of digital technologies. Smaller/local players in the pharmaceutical
distribution space faced difficulties in servicing customers amid lockdowns and staff unavailability, among other
difficulties, which large/national players could successfully navigate. Further, large/national players were better-
placed to deal with the supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic and acted on opportunities to sell products
such as Remdesivir and Covid-19 vaccines on the back of their cold chain logistics and wide network.

The retail pharmacy market in India mainly caters to pharmaceutical healthcare product manufacturers. Retail
pharmacies provide last-mile connectivity in the pharmaceuticals supply chain and also serve as the face of the
supply chain with patients/customers. The core function of a retailer is to dispense the medicine to the patients as
prescribed by the doctor.
The retail pharmacy market in India is highly fragmented with the presence of a large number of local/standalone
retail pharmacies. The market is highly competitive and dominated by traditional retail pharmacies. However,
with the advent of technology and improved penetration of internet, online or e-pharmacies have started to
penetrate this highly competitive market. Along with e-pharmacies, large retail chains have also entered the Indian
pharmaceuticals market, with players such as Apollo Pharmacy and MedPlus establishing large/national retail
pharmacy chains. The total Indian retail pharmacy market was valued at ~₹2.3 trillion in fiscal 2023. The share
of large/national retail pharmacies in the total pharmacy retail market was 8-10%, with the rest covered by local/
178
standalone retail pharmacies. Customer preference has been a crucial aspect in the emergence of e-pharmacies
and large retail brands, with benefits such as better discounts and convenience as key value propositions.
Consolidation in pharma retail is still in the nascent stage in India. With the presence of more than 900,000
pharmacy units, geographic expansion and operational challenges act as a key inhibitor for retail consolidation,
especially in the Tier-2, Tier-3 cities and towns.
Fragmented supply chain leads to operational complexities for local/standalone retail pharmacies
With a fragmented pharmaceutical distribution supply chain, there are various challenges that local/standalone
retailers, hospitals and clinics have to go through. On an average, a standalone retailer’s size is ~500 sq. ft., which
allows them to stock about 2,000-3,000 stock-keeping units (SKUs) compared with a full range of ~100,000
SKUs; for the rest of the SKUs, they usually depend on the sub-scale distributors, and with the current fragmented
nature of supply chains in India, pharmacies, hospitals and clinics need to procure healthcare products through
multiple distributors to complete their product range required to service the customer. This leads to high supply
chain costs and complexities, lack of transparency, high product expiries, pilferage, and loss of sales, among other
issues. The multiple distributors traditionally used by pharmacies, hospitals and clinics in India have varied levels
of product availability, fulfilment rates and service reliability, which can lead to loss of sales and higher cost of
procurement. Further, by needing to procure healthcare products through multiple distributors, pharmacies,
hospitals and clinics often face a delay in settlement of expired products, which, in turn, reduces their available
working capital.
Thus, with the emergence of large/national distributors, retail pharmacies and hospitals are expected to benefit
from better inventory management, high fill rates, reliable service levels and digital ordering experience provided
by large/national distributors.
• Better at catering to personalised selling to the customer. • Limited capital availability resulting in
fewer investments in technology and
• Higher presence in the competitive markets and Tier-1, Tier-2 cities. other marketing activities.
Currently, there are more than 900,000 retail pharmacies in India and majority of them have been local/standalone
retail pharmacy outlets. However, with increased digitalisation and better healthcare awareness, modern pharmacy
chains and e-pharmacies have started to establish a significant presence in urban and semi-urban areas. Currently,
large/national retail chains and e-pharmacies comprise only 8-10% of the retail pharmacy market, and most of
them are concentrated in Tier-1 cities, such as Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru. Tier-2 cities and beyond are still
underpenetrated in terms of large retail pharmacies.
Pharmaceutical distributors and retailers are key stakeholders in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Pharmaceutical
distributors act as an intermediary to the pharmacy retailers and pharmaceutical manufacturers. They enter into
contracts with pharmaceutical distributors to supply their products to the retailers and hence to the end-consumers.
Every pharmaceutical company has a defined number of distributors for each geography or locality which supplies
products to pharmacy retailers in that particular area.
179
Retailers, on the other hand, are the consumer-facing entity in the pharmaceutical supply chain. Pharmacy retailers
have SKUs of different pharmaceutical companies to meet the end-consumers’ demands. Retailers usually have
tie-ups with a few distributors, which provides them with different SKUs of different pharmaceutical companies.
In terms of market consolidation, mergers and acquisitions have been taking place both in the pharmaceutical
distribution as well as retail space. Large/national players in the pharmaceutical distribution market have
witnessed inorganic growth by acquiring smaller/local distributors. In the case of retail space, consolidation is
more in store expansion and creating branded retail chains. As a result, distributors are able to increase their
market reach in a comparatively shorter period of time by growing inorganically, as compared to pharmacy
retailers that usually require relatively more time to scale as they will need to increase store count.
In this section, CRISIL has compared some of the key players in the Indian pharmaceutical distribution Industry
and those who have a comparatively similar product portfolio. Data in this section has been obtained from publicly
available sources, including annual reports and investor presentations of listed players, regulatory filings, rating
rationales, and/or company websites. The financials used in the competitive section have been re-classified by

Overview
We are amongst the top three healthcare products distributors in India in terms of revenue in Financial Year 2022,
and reported an operating income of ₹25,220.65 million in Financial Year 2022 (Source: CRISIL Report). Further,
we also achieved the fastest scale-up of operations among healthcare products distributors in India (between
Financial Year 2019 to Financial Year 2022), and reached ₹25,000 million of operating income within four years
of operations (Source: CRISIL Report).
189
Our Company was founded in 2018 by Prabhat Agrawal, our Promoter, Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer, and Prem Sethi, our Promoter, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, with the vision to create
an organized, pan-India, technology driven and integrated healthcare products distribution platform that can add
value to the entire healthcare ecosystem. We add value to the healthcare product manufacturers that work with us
by providing them reach and accessibility to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics through our integrated and
technology driven, pan-India healthcare products distribution platform. As of March 31, 2023, our 73 warehouses
located across the country, last-mile delivery infrastructure and relationships with pharmacies, hospitals and
clinics enables healthcare product manufacturers to make their products available to a wide range of customers.
Similarly, the pharmacies, hospitals and clinics that we service get access to a wide range of healthcare products
through our distribution infrastructure and our healthcare product manufacturer relationships. During the Financial
Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, we catered to over 39,500, 64,200 and 81,400 retail customers, respectively, and over
1,600, 2,500 and 3,400 hospital customers, respectively. Further, as of March 31, 2023, we have supply
relationships with over 1,900 healthcare product manufacturers that gives us access to over 64,500 product stock-
keeping units (“SKUs”).
• Access to large number of pharmacies, hospitals and clinics throughout the country through a single distributor
platform
According to the CRISIL Report, the distribution of pharmaceutical products in India is extremely fragmented
with approximately 65,000 distributors, as of March 31, 2023, that generally service limited local areas only,
unlike developed markets where large nationwide distributors occupy a dominant market position.
Manufacturers, as well as retail pharmacies, may prefer lower number of distributors for better supply chain
operational efficiencies along with reduced complexities (Source: CRISIL Report). The operational efficiencies
can be achieved through reduced logistics costs as a result of streamlined procurement and distribution as provided
by large/national distributors (Source: CRISIL Report). Other benefits of large/national distributors to
pharmaceutical and healthcare product manufacturers/marketers include (i) better customer and geographical
reach for engagement in a fragmented retail space through a large and tech-enabled channel partner, and (ii)
efficient inventory management, leading to lower prescription bounce rates and expiries (Source: CRISIL Report).
We are also among the top three healthcare products distributor in India to have a wide network reach with retail
pharmacies in India, and catered to over 39,500, 64,200 and 81,400 retail pharmacies in Financial Years 2021,
2022 and 2023, respectively (Source: CRISIL Report). In addition, we have the largest hospital customer network
among pharmaceutical products distributor in India, and catered to over 1,600, 2,500 and 3,400 hospital customers
in Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. (Source: CRISIL Report)
With our nationwide presence of 73 distribution warehouses located across 37 cities in 19 states and union
territories, and a customer base of over 81,400 pharmacies and 3,400 hospitals spread across 495 districts, as of
March 31, 2023, we provide vast access to healthcare product manufacturers.
• Availability of a nationwide healthcare products distribution platform in compliance with relevant regulations
for setting up our warehouses, and logistics services
According to the CRISIL Report, pharmaceutical products and devices, including life-saving medicines require
special storage, transportation and handling, to ensure product quality. Due to the current fragmented nature of
the supply chain in India, scaled up, compliant and efficient warehousing and logistics remains a challenge.
As of March 31, 2023, we have 424,028 square feet of warehousing space with temperature monitoring systems
and modern storage solutions for optimal storage of healthcare products. Our warehouses are staffed with trained
manpower to ensure adherence to temperature requirements as per the storage instructions of manufacturers. We
are in compliance with the relevant regulations for setting up our warehouses. All of our warehouses that store
products governed by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the rules thereunder, also have the required drug
licenses issued by the relevant regulatory authority. These drug licenses are periodically renewed based on the
relevant regulatory authority’s inspections and satisfaction with our level of regulatory compliance.
190
We provide micro level sales and inventory data to healthcare product manufacturers. Our technology backed
data intelligence, insights and analytics can be used by healthcare product manufacturers for sales, marketing and
sales force effectiveness improvement related initiatives, identification of key opportunity areas, understanding
customer preferences, demand-supply dynamics and product sales trends.
• Comprehensive end-to-end healthcare products distribution solutions combined with marketing and promotion
capabilities
We offer both demand generation and demand fulfilment solutions to healthcare product manufacturers. We offer
demand generation solutions to healthcare product manufacturers by promoting and creating awareness of their
product brands to healthcare professionals, doctors and channels such as pharmacies, hospitals (both private and
government), clinics and customers through e-commerce marketplaces. For example, we have entered into an
agreement with Roche Products (India) Private Limited for the promotion, marketing and distribution of its four
nephrology drugs in India. Further, we provide end-to-end healthcare products distribution solutions including
imports, central warehousing, redistribution, last mile delivery and connection with the pharmacies, hospitals and
clinics. Our demand generation and demand fulfilment solutions are integrated across the value chain and we
benefit from synergies arising from our wide customer network, distribution infrastructure and geographic reach.
The multiple distributors traditionally used by pharmacies, hospitals and clinics in India have varied levels of
product availability, fulfilment rates and service reliability, which can lead to loss of sales and higher costs of
procurement. (Source: CRISIL Report)
Our scale of operations allows us to procure products at competitive prices and have a wide product range with
adequate inventory levels. We also provide a diverse spectrum of healthcare products, including pharmaceutical
products, nutraceuticals, medical devices, surgical consumables, over-the-counter medicines and vaccines, which
enables us to become a one stop shop for our customer’s healthcare product needs. Accordingly, we aim to provide
high fill rates to our customers, which in turn enables them to provide high fill rates to end consumers. We also
aim to provide low turnaround time to our customers. Our ability to provide high fill rates and low turnaround
time to our customers is crucial to optimize their inventory level, and to reduce their loss of sales due to stock-
outs. According to the CRISIL Report, with the emergence of large / national distributors, retail pharmacies and
hospitals are expected to benefit from better inventory management, high fill rates, reliable service levels and
digital ordering experience provided by large / national distributors. Further, we provide cold chain logistics,
which is the safe transport of temperature-sensitive goods and products along the supply chain, by utilising our
warehouses with temperature monitoring systems and modern storage solutions, which are staffed with trained
manpower to ensure adherence to temperature requirements as per the storage instructions of manufacturers.
• Better retail experience through technology-based solutions such as direct B2B applications and web platforms
We leverage technology to provide a positive buying experience through our digital solutions such as the Entero
Direct B2B application (“Entero Direct”), where customers have real-time visibility of our product range,
pricing, inventory levels, order status, outstanding balances, promotional offers. Entero Direct can be used for
order management 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Through Entero Direct, pharmacies are able to place orders
with us, track the status of their orders, make online payments and arrange for returns and claim settlements by
means of an integrated ‘single-click’ system. Further, healthcare product manufacturers can use the Entero Direct
platform to display their products and run promotional offers to promote their brands. As of March 31, 2023,
Entero Direct had over 8,600 active users, with sales on Entero Direct aggregating to ₹3,687.80 million for the
Financial Year 2023.
Apart from Entero Direct, our ERP systems are also integrated with our other ordering B2B applications, thereby
providing our customers with a wide range of options for seamless order management. For details, see “Our
Business – Description of our Business – Technology” on page 202.
Further, with the data collected from our large base of pharmacy, hospital and clinic customers, our business
intelligence tools assist healthcare product manufacturers with their operations, including product placement and
launches, channel marketing opportunities and sales force management. Through such data-based tools, we are
191
able to gain insights into procurement trends and carry out data-based forecasting of stock demand, thereby
ensuring better fill rates and inventory management.
Our business operations are led by an experienced and driven team, comprised of professionals with experience
in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Our co-founder, Promoter, Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer, Prabhat Agrawal, and our co-founder, Promoter, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating
Officer, Prem Sethi, both with extensive experience in our industry, play instrumental roles in the strategic
direction and growth of our business. Our Company’s shareholders includes OrbiMed Asia III Mauritius Limited,
a healthcare-focused fund, which has provided us continuous support through our growth in business.
A list of operating and financial metrics as at / for the Financial Years ended March 31, 2021, 2022 and 2023 is
set out below:
192
(17) Profit after tax margin is calculated as Restated profit after tax divided by Total income.
(18) Net working capital days is calculated by net working capital (which is calculated as current asset (excluding cash/bank or cash equivalents)
reduced by current liabilities (excluding short term borrowings)) represented in days sales (grossed up for taxes) during the period.
(19) ROCE is calculated as EBIT (which represents the sum of profit before tax and Interest expenses) divided by average capital employed
(calculated as the sum of opening capital employed and closing capital employed, and then divided by two) during the period. Capital
employed is calculated as the sum of tangible net worth, borrowings and deferred tax liability. Tangible net worth is the sum of total equity
(including Non-controlling interest) reduced by goodwill, other intangible assets and intangible assets under development.
(20) ROE is calculated as Restated profit after tax divided by Average Tangible Net Worth. Tangible net worth is the sum of total equity (including
Non-controlling interest) reduced by goodwill, other intangible assets and intangible assets under development. Average tangible net worth
is calculated as the sum of opening tangible net worth and closing tangible net worth and then divided by two.
We operate in the large and highly fragmented Indian healthcare products distribution market and expect to
benefit from market consolidation
According to the CRISIL Report, the target addressable market for pharmaceutical distributors in India is valued
at ₹2.7 trillion in the Financial Year 2023 and is expected to grow at 10% to 11% CAGR from the Financial Year
2023 to the Financial Year 2028. According to the CRISIL Report, the distribution of pharmaceutical products in
India is extremely fragmented with approximately 65,000 distributors, as of March 31, 2023, that generally service
limited local areas only, unlike developed markets where large nationwide distributors occupy a dominant market
position. The Indian pharmaceutical distribution market remains very fragmented with traditional local
distributors having a market share of 90% to 92%, with large / national distributors having a market share of 8%
to 10% (Source: CRISIL Report).
According to the CRISIL Report, market consolidation in India’s pharmaceutical distribution market is expected
to be supported by factors such as introduction of the Goods and Services Tax regime and benefits presented by
the consolidation of the segment, such as access to additional capital, better resource management, advantages of
scale, procurement and operational efficiencies and management expertise, establishment of a technology-driven
country-wide distribution network, better infrastructure, quick turnaround times and high fill rates. According to
the CRISIL Report, large / national pharmaceutical distribution players accounted for 8% to 10% share of total
distributor sales in Financial Year 2023, and is expected to rise to 20% to 30% by Financial Year 2028. In the
developed markets, established pharmaceutical distributors have focused on consolidation and account for a
market share of over 90% to 95% of the overall pharmaceutical distribution market in the United States and
approximately 95% to 97% in Germany (Source: CRISIL Report).
We believe that we will be able to benefit from the market consolidation in India, and continue to expand our
business through future strategic acquisitions of local distributors. We also believe that our technology-driven,
nation-wide distribution network, relationships with over 1,900 healthcare product manufacturers that gives us
access to over 64,500 product SKUs as of March 31, 2023, and experienced and professional management team,
position us well to continue to grow the scale of our business in India and take advantage of the shift towards the
organized Indian healthcare products distribution market. According to the CRISIL Report, distributors are able
to increase their market reach in a comparatively shorter period of time by growing inorganically, as compared to
pharmacy retailers that usually require comparatively more time to scale as they need to increase store count.
We are one of India’s largest and fastest growing healthcare products distribution platforms
Having commenced our business in 2018, we are amongst the top three healthcare products distributors in India
in terms of revenue in Financial Year 2022, and reported an operating income of ₹25,220.65 million in Financial
Year 2022 (Source: CRISIL Report). Further, we also achieved the fastest scale-up of operations among healthcare
products distributors in India (between Financial Year 2019 to Financial Year 2022), and reached ₹25,000 million
of operating income within four years of operations (Source: CRISIL Report). During the Financial Years 2021,
2022 and 2023, our retail customers amounted to over 39,500, 64,200, and 81,400, respectively, and our hospital
customers amounted to over 1,600, 2,500, and 3,400, respectively.
We have developed a technology-driven, scalable business model, with a focus on network expansion, execution,
and cost efficiency to enable demand fulfilment in the healthcare industry. We have established a large footprint
in the healthcare products distribution business, with relationships with key stakeholders such as healthcare
product manufacturers, pharmacies, hospitals and clinics. Further, our B2B ordering application, Entero Direct,
is integrated with other third party customer ordering applications, which allows us to seamlessly add customers
to our network by providing our customers with visibility of our product range and pricing, which in turn allows
them to conveniently place orders through our Entero Direct application .
193
As of March 31, 2023, through our 73 warehouses (which have an aggregate size of 424,028 square feet) in 37
cities across 19 states and union territories, we have established distribution presence in over 495 districts. We
have also established supply relationships with more than 1,900 healthcare products manufacturers as of March
31, 2023 that gives us access to over 64,500 product SKUs. The map below sets forth the geographical reach of
our distribution network:
Further, our (i) wide range of products offered; (ii) operations aimed at providing high fill rates to our customers;
(iii) technology-driven inventory management and order placing mechanism for our customers; (iv) economies of
scale advantage; (v) competitive and transparent pricing and (vi) established logistics infrastructure, has and will
continue to be critical to our growth in market share.
We offer differentiated value propositions to our stakeholders in the healthcare products ecosystem, including
healthcare product manufacturers, pharmacies, hospitals and clinics.
• access to a large number of pharmacies, hospitals and clinics throughout the country through a single distributor
platform;
• availability of a nationwide healthcare products distribution platform in compliance with the relevant regulations
for setting up our warehouses, and logistics services;
• integrated systems and technologies to offer data intelligence and analytics; and
• comprehensive end-to-end healthcare products distribution solutions combined with marketing and promotion
capabilities.
194
To pharmacies, hospitals and clinics, we offer:
• one stop solution for procurement needs, by providing our customers with a diverse spectrum of healthcare
products, including pharmaceutical products, nutraceuticals, medical devices, surgical consumables, over-the-
counter medicines and vaccines; and
• better retail experience through technology-based solutions such as direct B2B applications and web platforms.
Track record of inorganic expansion and integration to grow our geographic reach, revenues and scale
We have endeavoured to take advantage of the market consolidation opportunities available in the Indian
healthcare products distribution market. Accordingly, we have adopted a pan-India approach towards acquiring
and integrating smaller distributors to expand our geographic reach and increase the wallet share from our
customers. Since the inception of our Company in the Financial Year 2018, we have acquired 32 entities in the
healthcare products distribution industry. We have an on-ground acquisition team to identify acquisition
opportunities in the markets for entry or expansion. Subsequent to the completion of an acquisition, we deploy
our growth strategies such as product portfolio expansion, increased customer reach, improved service levels,
technology-based solutions to increase our market share. Our established, data and process-driven and well tested
acquisition, integration and growth approach is replicable in the existing markets we are present in and in the new
geographies that we choose to enter. Given our track record in acquiring and integrating smaller distributors across
India, we have been able to continuously attract distributors to become acquired by and integrated with us.

Differentiated business model offering comprehensive and integrated commercial and supply chain solutions
Through our expansive nationwide distribution network, well-developed integrated technology platforms, coupled
with our relationships with retail pharmacies and hospitals, trained sales force and experienced business support
teams (including marketing, branding, supply chain and finance teams), we are able to offer a variety of
opportunities for brands to expand their footprint in India in a cost-efficient manner. Further, we are in a position
to benefit from synergies, and complement our distribution services with marketing and promotion offerings with
healthcare product manufacturers to not only distribute but also market and promote their brands to provide better
access to medicines for patients in India. For example, in June 2020, we entered into an agreement with Roche
Products (India) Private Limited for rights of promotion, marketing and distribution of its four nephrology drugs
in India.
196
We provide engagement opportunities to healthcare product manufacturers to connect with retail pharmacies and
hospitals within our network, by allowing them to leverage our technology, customer connect applications and
sales force to communicate their products and brand propositions to these retail pharmacies and hospitals. Apart
from pharmaceutical products, we also offer nutraceutical, over the counter medical products, vaccines, medical
devices and consumables including our private label products such as nebulizers, digital thermometers, blood
pressure monitors and adult diapers to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics. Further, we also assist healthcare product
manufacturers to optimize their sales performance, by providing them with secondary sales data on a timely basis,
an overview of their brand performance, as well as customer insights at a micro market level. As a result, our
comprehensive and integrated commercial and supply chain solutions which is offered at a pan India level allows
us to develop deep and strategic engagements with various healthcare product manufacturers.
Proprietary technology platform with integrated business intelligence tools and solutions
To grow our operations and bring efficiencies in the healthcare products distribution ecosystem, we have adopted
a technology-focused approach which is anchored on our proprietary integrated technology platforms and business
intelligence tools and solutions. We believe that significant inefficiencies and redundancies, including during
product ordering, sales, payments, product returns, claims and reconciliations and inventory management, can be
improved by digitizing supply chain processes which would benefit the entire healthcare ecosystem. To further
this strength, we have made continuous investments towards enhancing our technology platform. For example,
we invest in technology at all of our distribution warehouses to enhance fulfilment rates, reliability and product
availability. For the Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, our investments towards enhancing our technology
platform amounted to ₹64.52 million, ₹107.64 million and ₹95.96 million, respectively. The Entero Direct
application provides a single-interface platform to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics with visibility in real time of
our products, inventory, pricing and promotional offers, and their credit status. Pharmacies can place orders
directly, track the status of their orders, make online payments and arrange for returns and claim settlements.
Further, healthcare product manufacturers can use our platform to display their products and run promotional
offers to increase visibility and promote their brands. We also run loyalty programmes on the Entero Direct
platform to increase our wallet share from pharmacies and improve pharmacy retention. Through Entero Direct,
healthcare product manufacturers are also able to customize offers to boost customer engagement and increase
market reach with our AI-based analytics. Further, through Entero Direct, our sales force are also able to plan
their customer visits, access live inventory levels, view running offers, promotions and other relevant customer
information before assisting customers to place an order. As of March 31, 2023, Entero Direct had over 8,600
active users, with sales on Entero Direct aggregating to ₹3,687.80 million for the Financial Year 2023.
We also have other technology platforms such as Entero ERP system, data warehouse and business intelligence
tool (Teqtic), and CRM application. Through Teqtic, we are able to harmonise the product codes across all our
warehouses and capture generic names and product details, as well as obtain a nationwide overview of all of our
brand and category wise sales across customers, inventory data and other information. This data is used to generate
trends and analytics for our decision making purposes. The Entero ERP system facilitates the flow of information
among various functions of our organisation. The key features of the Entero ERP system are in areas such as
regulatory compliance, inventory and material management, sales, promotion management and accounting. The
CRM application is our customer relationship management tool that manages and analyses our interactions with
customers, in order to increase customer retention and wallet share. For details, see “ – Description of our
Business – Technology” on page 202.
We have also developed comprehensive business intelligence tools that evaluate and analyse sales data collated
from our nation-wide distribution network. With the data collected from our customer base, we are able to provide
healthcare product manufacturers with timely secondary sales and inventory data and market insights on sales in
a micro market, thereby enabling them to better plan their sales strategies and incentivize sales force. Healthcare
product manufacturers can utilise these data analytics tools in connection with initiatives such as product
placement and launches, channel marketing opportunities and sales force effectiveness.
Through such data-based tools, we are able to carry out data-based forecasting of stock demand, aimed at
providing better fill rates and inventory management. The business intelligence tools further help us optimize our
internal operations such as enhancement of the performance and productivity of our sales and delivery teams,
planning, tracking and optimizing inventory levels, procurement efficiencies and review of our performance
indicators. Further, through our integrated technology applications, we have been able to establish a “hub and
spoke” model by connecting our warehouses and supply points across districts, in order to scale our footprint in
new cities in a capital and cost-efficient manner. Through this model, our warehouses in large cities act as hubs
for smaller warehouses (which function as spokes) in smaller cities / regions.
197

Our Strategies
Benefit from healthcare products distribution market consolidation with strategic acquisitions
Since the inception of our Company in the Financial Year 2018, we have acquired 32 entities in the healthcare
products distribution industry. We intend to further supplement our organic growth with strategic acquisitions of
regional and local distributors with strong branding, market position and growth potential in markets where we
either do not have a presence or intend to consolidate market share. When evaluating acquisition targets, we take
into account a number of factors such as the size of the market where the target company operates, their customer
base and catchment area, supplier relationships, product portfolio, synergies with our existing network, historic
financial performance and future opportunities for growth.
According to the CRISIL Report, market consolidation is expected in India’s pharmaceutical distribution market.
In light of this opportunity, we seek to actively explore expansion opportunities through strategic acquisitions of
regional and local distributors to, among others:
198
• enter and grow in synergistic product adjacencies; and
Given our market position and track record of acquisitions and integration of acquired entities and in-depth
industry experience, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the expected consolidation
opportunities. Currently, we have a pipeline of ten acquisitions (where non-binding term sheets have been signed)
across nine locations.
Strengthen market position through increases in customer base, wallet share and geographic penetration
We intend to grow sales through our existing distribution network, taking advantage of the low penetration of
scaled up and efficient healthcare products distribution platforms and strengthen our market position by (i)
increasing our customer base through the addition of new pharmacies, hospitals and clinics in both existing and
new territories, (ii) expanding our geographic reach through a “hub and spoke” model which connects our
warehouses and supply points across districts, (iii) increasing wallet share from existing pharmacies and hospitals
by offering larger product portfolios, deeper customer engagement through technology and digital solutions, and
(iv) offering procurement efficiencies and economies of scale advantages As such, we believe that there is
significant opportunity for growth of our existing distribution network.
We plan to replicate the success we have had in our key operating cities (i.e. cities that contribute to a significant
portion of our revenue) such as Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi National Capital Region, Cochin and Vizag, in cities
that we have penetrated but have yet to become the leading healthcare products distribution platform, as well as
across other cities, states and union territories that we have not currently penetrated.
Pursue comprehensive marketing and distribution collaborations with healthcare product manufacturers
Based on the synergies between our distribution network, our pharmacy and hospital reach, our established
relationships with healthcare product manufacturers and our marketing and promotion capabilities, we intend to
pursue more opportunities in the future for offering integrated commercial solutions including sales, marketing,
promotion and supply chain to pharmaceutical and healthcare brands that intend to expand their reach and
footprint in the Indian market. With our trained sales force and experienced business support team including
marketing, branding, supply chain and finance, we continue to offer a diverse range of customized solutions for
brands to expand their footprint and patient access in India that best suit their requirements leveraging cost and
resources in an efficient way.
While we continue to grow our distribution capabilities, we also concurrently focus on broadening the range of
our offerings (both products and services) to our existing and growing customer base. While we currently offer
mostly pharmaceutical products, we intend to expand our product adjacencies to cover a wider range of healthcare
product categories that are synergistic additions to our current business. Further, we intend to leverage our existing
customer base, market knowledge, distribution and delivery infrastructure, geographic reach and product
manufacturer relationships, to enter and grow into adjacent product categories that can be sold to pharmacies and
hospitals.
We intend to expand our portfolio of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, generic medicines, medical devices, surgical
consumables, diagnostic consumables, hospital capital equipments and OTC that are sold in pharmacies and
hospitals, in order to provide us with better sales synergies. According to the CRISIL Report, for medical
consumables and devices, the channel margin (inclusive of distributors and retailers) ranges between 1.5 to 2.0
times the channel margin for pharmaceutical products. We also intend to launch and grow our private label
products and brands by leveraging our distribution strength and customer connect in product categories including
medical devices, surgical consumables and any other medical products, that are appropriate product market fit.
In addition, we also intend to broaden our service offerings through our “HealthEdge” platform. We intend to
offer technology driven CRM, inventory management, procurement and other digital solutions under our
“HealthEdge” platform to unorganized pharmacies, thereby helping them to compete effectively and increase their
sales and optimize their costs and inventory using digital solutions provided by us. We believe that with our
enhanced and value added service offerings we can increase our wallet share with pharmacies and also enrol more
pharmacies as our customers.
199
Continue to invest in and leverage our technology, scale and synergistic adjacencies to drive efficiencies and
profitability
We intend to increase our customer reach, customer retention and customer wallet share though continued
investment in our technology infrastructure, including investing in and enhancing our Entero Direct application,
ERP systems, CRM application, Teqtic data warehouse and other technological developments to support our
customers and our operations. We believe that through digitization and technological integration with our
customers, we are able to offer our customers cost efficiencies, inventory optimization and improved customer
interactions, which will in turn allow us to grow our customer base, improve customer retention and increase
customer wallet share.
We expect that leveraging our technology infrastructure to further optimize our operations, including operations
relating to warehousing, logistics, sales operations, inventory and receivables management, will bring greater cost
efficiency, productivity and transparency. We believe that our increased investment in technology, along with our
growing scale of operations, synergistic higher margin product adjacencies, and private label and operational
efficiencies will drive profitability and improve margins.
Our primary line of business is in the distribution of healthcare products to retail pharmacies, hospitals and
healthcare clinics in India. Our ancillary lines of business are: (i) the provision of comprehensive and integrated
commercial solutions, including sales, marketing and supply chain solutions to pharmaceutical companies and
healthcare product manufactures; and (ii) the sale of private label products and medical devices under our private
label, Entero Surgicals.
We provide distribution and logistics services for healthcare products to retail pharmacies, hospitals and
healthcare clinics in India. Such products are sourced by us from healthcare product manufacturers, and sold to
pharmacies, hospitals and clinics at margins over the cost of the products. The product range offered by us covers
pharmaceutical products, medical devices, surgical consumables, OTC, nutraceuticals and vaccines. As part of
our healthcare products distribution services, we purchase our products in bulk from healthcare product
manufacturers, and subsequently curate and offer a diverse product portfolio to retail pharmacies, hospitals and
healthcare clinics based on their requirements, through our nationwide distribution network.
We supply healthcare products to our customers based on their orders which are placed through our Entero Direct
application or other order-taking applications, or which have been communicated through our salesmen or call
center representatives. Our customers are onboarded through our ERP system, and a customer profile, which
includes relevant customer details such as drug license number, GST numbers, credit limit, credit days and
applicable discounts, for each customer is generated.
Our healthcare products distribution channel consists of retail distribution and hospital distribution.
Retail distribution
Our retail distribution channel involves distributing healthcare products to pharmacies, who then sell these
products to end-customers. As of March 31, 2023, we distribute to over 81,400 pharmacies located across 495
districts. We supply a wide range of healthcare products, including pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and OTC
products, and medical devices, to pharmacies through our nationwide distribution network, which consists of our
delivery fleet, delivery personnel and third-party courier services.
We also provide claim settlements for order returns and expiry returns, where pharmacy customers can return any
expired products to us and we will in turn return these expired products to our suppliers based on their return
policy.
Hospital distribution
Through our hospital distribution channel, we distribute healthcare products to hospitals and healthcare clinics
across India. As of March 31, 2023, we supply to over 3,400 hospitals located across 280 districts. We supply a
wide range of healthcare products, including pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, vaccines, medical devices
200
such as orthopaedic implants and coronary stents, and hospital consumables such as examination and surgical
gloves, syringes, needles and sutures, to hospitals and clinics through our nationwide distribution network, which
consists of our delivery fleet, delivery personnel and third-party courier services. We supply healthcare products
to various major private hospital chains in India.
The prices of our healthcare products that we supply to hospitals are typically contractually agreed between the
hospitals and our suppliers. We maintain records of prices at which we sell these healthcare products to hospitals
to ensure that there is no dispute with our suppliers as to our compliance with the contractually agreed prices
under the rate contracts. The rate contract between the hospitals and our suppliers are typically renewed on an
annual basis.
We serve our customers (including pharmacies, hospitals and healthcare clinics) through a geographically diverse
network of distribution warehouses in India. As of March 31, 2023, we have 73 distribution warehouses located
across 37 cities in 19 states and union territories, developed 424,028 square feet of warehousing space with
temperature monitoring systems and modern storage solutions, and staffed with trained manpower to ensure
adherence to temperature requirements as per the storage instructions of manufacturers. We are in compliance
with the relevant regulations for setting up our warehouses. All of our warehouses that store products governed
by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the rules thereunder, also have the required drug licenses issued by the
relevant regulatory authority. These drug licenses are periodically renewed based on the relevant regulatory
authority’s inspections and satisfaction with our level of regulatory compliance. We provide end-to-end healthcare
product distribution solutions including imports, central warehousing, redistribution, last mile delivery and
connection with the pharmacies, hospitals and clinics. Through our warehouse application, we are able to monitor
the day-to-day activities and productivity at our in-house warehouses.
We invest in technology at all of our distribution warehouses to enhance fulfilment rates, reliability and product
availability. For example, we utilise our ERP system to ensure that our inventory records are updated real-time
and accurate. Our ERP system is also integrated with our Entero Direct application and other ordering platforms,
in order to ensure that we process our orders in a timely manner.
We offer comprehensive and integrated commercial solutions, including sales, marketing and supply chain
solutions, to healthcare product manufacturers, for them to expand their reach in the Indian market. We deploy
medical sales representatives to promote the healthcare product manufacturer’s products to healthcare
professionals and doctors, and conduct various medical-related marketing activities to increase the visibility and
awareness of their brand. We also manage their supply chain and ensure availability of their brands across
pharmacies and hospitals. Further, we also develop and implement marketing strategies, brand promotion
programs, regional expansion strategies, pricing and promotion offers, and channel management in order to
maximise their reach and access to patients. We have also started providing customized retail channel engagement
services through our technology platform and sales network to increase visibility of their brands. In June 2020,
we engaged with Roche Products (India) Private Limited for promotion, marketing and distribution of its four
nephrology drugs in India.
We sell private label products under our private label, Entero Surgicals. Entero Surgicals comprises brands such
as Carent, Entros, Entair, Safent and Glovent. The product categories under our private label products business
consist of homecare medical devices, surgical consumables, and rehabilitation products and devices. Our key
private label products include nebulizers (sold under our Entair brand), personal protective, hygiene and surgical
consumable products (sold under our Safent brand), homecare medical devices (sold under our Carent brand),
gloves (sold under our Glovent brand) and mobility equipment (sold under our Entros brand).
Our private label products are manufactured by third party manufacturers that manufacture products with our
trademark (including our trade name, trade dress, colour scheme, combination for packaging strips, legends and
artwork) pursuant to contracts with us.
201
Customers
Our private label products are sold and distributed to retail pharmacies, hospitals and nursing homes across India,
through our own distribution network as well as external distributors.
Distribution relationships with healthcare product manufacturers for healthcare distribution products
We have distribution relationships with healthcare product manufacturers. Under these distribution arrangements,
we purchase products from the manufacturer in accordance with agreed quality standards, and any defective
products are replaced by the manufacturer.
Manufacture and supply agreements with manufacturers of our private label products
We enter into manufacture and supply agreements with product manufacturers in respect of their manufacturing
of our private label products. The prices of the products are determined on a firm order basis. We also determine
the maximum retail price for the products. Defective products sold to us are to be replaced by the manufacturer at
their own cost. The intellectual property relating to the private label and the brands are retained by us. The products
are manufactured with our trademark, including our trade name, trade dress, colour scheme, combination for
packaging strips, legends and artwork. The manufacture and supply agreements are typically for three years, and
can be terminated with 90 (ninety) days’ notice by either party without cause, and or for certain breaches of the
agreement by either party, the agreement may be terminated with 30 (thirty) days’ notice given to cure the breach.
The products supplied to us are required to meet our quality standards and be in compliance with good
manufacturing practices.
We enter into agreements with healthcare product manufacturers to promote and market their products. We deploy
manpower and resources for such promotional and marketing activities. We are paid a marketing support fee or
additional product margins in connection with our promotional efforts to generate demand and increase awareness
for our customers’ products. This marketing support fee varies according to the individual product that is being
promoted and marketed by us, and the amount of resources that we require for such promotional and marketing
efforts.
Technology
We leverage our technological platforms and solutions to support our healthcare products distribution business.
Entero Direct
Our Entero Direct platform is a cloud-based ‘software-as-a-service’ solution that allows retailers to order their
procurement needs from us. Retailers can use the platform for placing orders, tracking and making payments on

205
Entero ERP System
We have developed our in-house Entero ERP system, which has been implemented across multiple locations in
India. Our Entero ERP system is a cloud-based ERP tool. Some of the key benefits of our Entero ERP system
includes (i) seamless integration of data across locations; (ii) complete control over product and customer masters;
(iii) enhanced security features such as web application firewalls; (iv) better centralized controls; and (v) lower
risk of data loss.
The image below sets forth our Entero ERP homescreen dashboard with a list of selected reports that can be

We have developed Teqtic as a data warehouse, business intelligence and data analytics tool to generate
customized reports, by using our past customer transactional data and records. Teqtic is a cloud based system
which makes it easy for us to roll out updates and new features to all users.
We utilise Teqtic to generate customized reports to monitor, among others, sales, purchases and inventory levels
at all of our distributors and warehouses across India. Teqtic is utilized by both us and our external customers. We
provide identity-based access control to our customers.
206
Among the reports that we provide to external customers (mainly pharmaceutical companies) include:
• account wise product wise sales;
• real-time inventory visibility at warehouse locations;
• sales by company division, geography, customer & salesperson; and
• proof of delivery reports.
These reports generated by Teqtic can be customized based on our customer requirements. Our business teams
work with our customers to understand their requirements and thereafter customize the reports accordingly.
The image below showcases a screenshot of a Teqtic report for sales and shelf life of available inventory for a
specific molecule strength:
We have made acquisitions of other companies in the healthcare sector in the past, such as healthcare products
distributors. We integrated our acquisitions into our operations. Our acquisitions of distributors allow us to expand
our geographical reach across India, broaden our product portfolio and capture a greater wallet share of customers.
We do so by identifying target markets based on market size and competitive intensity. Through our on ground
acquisition team with the relevant market intelligence, we engage with available players in those target markets.

The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (the “FSSA”) and regulations framed thereunder
The FSSA is an integrated food law that lays down standards and guidelines for consumer safety, protection of
consumer health and regulation of the food sector. It consolidates the laws relating to food and provides for
establishment of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (“FSSAI”). The FSSAI is responsible for
laying down science-based standards for articles of food and to regulate their manufacture, packaging, storage,
distribution, sale, and import, to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption and for
211
matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. The FSSA sets out, among other things, the requirements for
licensing and registration of food businesses, general principles of food safety and responsibilities of a food
business operator and liability of manufacturers and sellers. The FSSAI also lays down general provisions for
food additives and processing of articles of food as well.

engaged in catering/ food-service operations (including food packaging and transportation). Further, an e-
commerce FBO (which includes sellers and brand owners who display or offer their food products through e-
commerce, and providers of transportation services for the food products and/or providing last mile delivery
transportation to the end consumers), is required to obtain central/state license from the concerned central/state
licensing authority. The FBO Guidelines are applicable to all e-commerce FBOs that carry on any activity in
relation to manufacture, processing, packaging, storage, transportation, distribution and/or import of food, and
also includes food services, catering services, sale of food or food ingredients, through the medium of e-
commerce. The e-commerce FBOs must comply with, inter alia, rules on listing and delisting of FBOs on their
platform, display of information regarding food items available for order on their websites as well as expiry dates
of pre-packaged food items.
Further, FSSAI has issued guidance note on ‘Food Hygiene and Safety Guidelines for Food Businesses during
Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic’ (“Guidance Note”) with an intent to provide guidance to food
businesses, including their personnel involved in handling of food and other employees to prevent spread of
COVID-19 in the work environment and any incidental contamination of food/food packages. It, inter alia,
mandates that employers should have a COVID-19 screening protocol in place to screen all personnel entering
the premise. The Guidance Note prescribes guidelines for the management of the food establishment to handle a
Covid-19 suspect/positive case in accordance with the guidelines issued by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
and clean and disinfect the premises accessed by the suspected Covid-19 case.
The Guidance Note further mandates strict adherence to General Hygiene Practices specified under Schedule 4 of
Food Safety and Standards (Licensing and Registration of Food Businesses) Regulation, 2011 (“Schedule”). The
Schedule enumerates multiple compulsory measures to be adopted by food business operators in the interest of
human nutrition, safety and hygiene.

The drug policy of 1994 was replaced by the 2012 Policy. The 2012 policy intends to provide the principles for
pricing of essential drugs specified in the National List of Essential Medicines – 2011 (“NLEM”) declared by the
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and modified from time to time, in order to ensure
the availability of such medicines at reasonable price, while providing sufficient opportunity for innovation and
competition to support the growth of the industry. The prices would be regulated based on the essential nature of
the drugs rather than the economic criteria/market share principle adopted in the drug policy of 1994. Further, the
2012 Policy will regulate the price of formulations only, through market-based pricing which is different from the
earlier principle of cost-based pricing. Accordingly, the formulations will be priced by fixing a ceiling price and
the manufacturers of such drugs will be free to fix any price equal to or below the ceiling price.
The ECA empowers the Central Government, to control production, supply and distribution of, trade and
commerce in certain essential commodities for maintaining or increasing supplies or for securing their equitable
distribution and availability at fair prices or for securing any essential commodity for the defence of India or the
efficient conduct of military operations. Using the powers under it, various ministries/departments of the Central
Government have issued control orders for regulating production, distribution, quality aspects, movement and
prices pertaining to the commodities which are essential and administered by them. The State Governments have
also issued various control orders to regulate various aspects of trading in essential commodities such as food
grains, edible oils, pulses kerosene, sugar and drugs. Penalties in terms of fine and imprisonment are prescribed
under the ECA for contravention of its provisions.
The Competition Act is an act to prevent practices having adverse effect on competition, to promote and sustain
213
competition in markets, to protect the interests of consumers and to ensure freedom of trade in India. The act deals
with prohibition of (i) certain agreements such as anti-competitive agreements and (ii) abuse of dominant position
and regulation of combinations. No enterprise or group shall abuse its dominant position in various circumstances
as mentioned under the Competition Act.
The prima facie duty of the Competition Commission of India (“Commission”) is to eliminate practices having
adverse effect on competition, promote and sustain competition, protect interests of consumers and ensure
freedom of trade. The Commission shall issue notice to show cause to the parties to combination calling upon
them to respond within 30 days in case it is of the opinion that there has been an appreciable adverse effect on
competition in India. In case a person fails to comply with the directions of the Commission and Director General
(as appointed under Section 16(1) of the Competition Act), he shall be punishable with a fine which may exceed
to 100,000 for each day during such failure subject to maximum of 10,000,000, as the Commission may determine.
The Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 introduces significant changes to the Competition Act in India. It
introduces a Deal Value threshold of Rs. 2000 Crores for reporting merger and acquisition transactions to the
Competition Commission of India (CCI). The time limit for CCI's assessment of mergers and acquisitions is
reduced from 210 days to 150 days. The scope of anti-competitive agreements is broadened by replacing
"Exclusive supply agreement" with "Exclusive dealing agreement" and now covers the selling side of such
agreements. The definition of cartel is expanded to include hubs and spoke arrangements involving trade
associates, consultants, or intermediaries. Additionally, the Amendment Act grants the CCI the power to appoint
a Director General for more effective enforcement.

both inventory based, and marketplace based model of e-commerce entities. Further, it provides that 100% FDI
under automatic route is permitted in the marketplace model of e-commerce, while FDI is not permitted in the
inventory-based model of e-commerce.
The Consolidated FDI Policy further subsumed regulations relating to inventory control, affiliated sellers, and
exclusive arrangements which were introduced under Press Note 2 of 2018 released by the DPIIT on December
26, 2018. To be considered an e-commerce marketplace entity under the Consolidated FDI Policy, marketplaces
cannot exercise any direct or indirect ownership or control over the inventory being sold on their platform. An e-
commerce platform would be deemed to exercise ‘control’ over a vendor’s inventory, if 25% or more of such
vendor’s purchases are from the e-commerce entity or its group companies. If an e-commerce entity is deemed to
control the inventory of a vendor, the Consolidated FDI Policy prohibits the vendor from selling their goods on
such e-commerce marketplace. Further, the Consolidated FDI Policy states that an entity having equity
participation by an e-commerce marketplace entity or its group companies would not be permitted to sell its
products on the platform run by such marketplace entity. Additionally, it also requires that an e-commerce
marketplace entity would not mandate any seller to sell any product exclusively on its platform.
214
The Consolidated FDI Policy further provides for cash & carry wholesale trading which means sale of
goods/merchandise to retailers, industrial, commercial, institutional or other professional business users or to other
wholesalers and related subordinated service providers. Wholesale trading includes resale, processing and
thereafter sale, bulk imports with export/ex-bonded warehouse business sales and B2B e-commerce. Except in
case of government, sales made by the wholesaler would be considered as cash & carry wholesale trading with
valid business customers only when wholesale trading is made with the entities holding applicable tax registration,
entities holding trade licenses under the Shops and Establishment Act issued by the government authority, entities
holding permits / licenses for undertaking retail trade from government authorities or local self-government bodies
and institutions having certificate of incorporation or registration as a society or registration as public trust for
their self-consumption. The Consolidated FDI Policy further provides that wholesale trading of goods would be
permitted among companies of the same group, however, wholesale trading to group companies should not exceed
25% of the total turnover of the wholesale venture.
The Information Technology Act, 2000 (the “IT Act”) and the rules made thereunder
The IT Act seeks to: (i) provide legal recognition to transactions carried out by various means of electronic data
interchange involving alternatives to paper-based methods of communication and storage of information; (ii)
facilitate electronic filing of documents; and (iii) create a mechanism for the authentication of electronic
documentation through digital signatures. The IT Act provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction over any offence or
contravention under the IT Act committed outside India by any person, irrespective of their nationality, if the act
or conduct constituting the offence or contravention involves a computer, computer system or computer network
located in India. Additionally, the IT Act empowers the Government of India to direct any of its agencies to
intercept, monitor or decrypt any information in the interest of sovereignty, integrity, defence and security of
India, among other things. The Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking for Access of
Information by Public) Rules, 2009 specifically permit the Government of India to block access of any information
generated, transmitted, received, stored or hosted in any computer resource by the public, the reasons for which
are required to be recorded by it in writing.
The IT Act facilitates electronic commerce by recognizing contracts concluded through electronic means, protects
intermediaries in respect of third-party information liability and creates liability for failure to protect sensitive
personal data. The IT Act also prescribes civil and criminal liability including fines and imprisonment for
computer related offences including those relating to unauthorized access to computer systems, tampering with
or unauthorised manipulation of any computer, computer system or computer network and damaging computer
systems, and creates liability for negligence in dealing with or handling any sensitive personal data or information
in a computer resource and in maintaining reasonable security practices and procedures in relation thereto, among
others.
The IT Act empowers the Government of India to formulate rules with respect to reasonable security practices
and procedures and sensitive personal data. In exercise of this power, the Department of Information Technology,
(“DoIT”) Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India, in April 2011, notified the
Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or
Information) Rules, 2011 (“IT Security Rules”) which prescribe directions for the collection, disclosure, transfer
and protection of sensitive personal data by a body corporate or any person acting on behalf of a body corporate.
The IT Security Rules require every such body corporate to provide a privacy policy for handling and dealing
with personal information, including sensitive personal data, ensuring security of all personal data collected by it
and publishing such policy on its website. The IT Security Rules further require that all such personal data be used
solely for the purposes for which it was collected, and any third-party disclosure of such data is made with the
prior consent of the information provider, unless contractually agreed upon between them or where such disclosure
is mandated by law.
The DoIT also notified the Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code)
Rules, 2021 (“IT Intermediary Rules”) requiring intermediaries receiving, storing, transmitting, or providing
any service with respect to electronic messages to not knowingly host, publish, transmit, select or modify any
information prohibited under the IT Intermediaries Rules, to disable hosting, publishing, transmission, selection

patented product or process or produce that product. Being a signatory to the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects
of Intellectual Property Rights, India is required to recognize product patents as well as process patents. In addition
to the broad requirement that an invention must satisfy the requirements of novelty, utility and non-obviousness
in order for it to avail patent protection, the Patents Act further provides that patent protection may not be granted
to certain specified types of inventions and materials even if they satisfy the above criteria.
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (“COPRA 2019”) repealed the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 and provides

entities and have prescribed certain restrictions in relation to flash sales, listing of related and associated parties
as sellers and mis-selling of goods and services.
The proposed Draft Consumer Protection E-Commerce Rules, 2020 (“Draft Consumer Protection Rules’) aims
to prohibit e-commerce entities from manipulating search results or indexes relating to the search queries of the
users. Such manipulation or fixing search results is included as an anti-competitive practice under the Draft
Consumer Protection rules. It also prohibits the use of name or brand associated with a market place e-commerce

Our Company had acquired one of its Subsidiaries, CPD Pharma Private Limited (“CPD”) by entering into share
purchase agreement dated August 19, 2020, with CPD and its promoters. The promoters of CPD had earlier
availed loan facilities amounting to ₹ 48.00 million from IDFC First Bank Limited (“the Bank”) in the name of
their partnership firm, M/s. Chennai Pharma Distributors, which were erroneously transferred to CPD. Since the
account belonging to CPD had been classified as a non-performing asset prior to the repayment, our Company
notified the erstwhile promoters of CPD about the outstanding loan which was subsequently repaid by the
erstwhile promoters and their heirs, along with the guarantors to the facilities. CPD also obtained a letter dated
February 3, 2023, from the Bank confirming closure of the said account post repayment.
Certain working capital facilities were availed by our subsidiaries, Sesha Balajee Medisolutions Private Limited,
SVMED Solutions Private Limited, and Vasavi Medicare Solutions Private Limited the Bank. By a notice dated
June 7, 2023, the Bank alleged that there were material differences in reporting of operating and net profits
between the preliminary consolidated annual report and final consolidated annual report. The Bank called it an
event of default and required the Company and the subsidiaries to repay outstanding amounts under the facilities
within a period of three months. While the Company issued a reply to the aforesaid notice, disputing the
declaration of event of default and providing necessary explanations for such differences, the facilities were
subsequently repaid within the prescribed time frame.

Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:
it expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle;
it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
it is due to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; orthe Group does not have an unconditional
right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. Terms of a liability that
could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect
its classification.
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as non-
current.
D. Basis of Measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention on accrual basis, except for the following
material items that have been measured at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS:-
Certain Financial assets are measured at fair value (refer accounting policy on financial instruments)
Employee’s Defined Benefit Plan as per actuarial valuation.
E. Use of Estimates
289
Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (formerly known as Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited)
Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires the Management to make estimate and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as at the Balance Sheet date, reported amount of
revenue and expenses for the year and disclosures of contingent liabilities as at the Balance Sheet date. The estimates
and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon the Management's evaluation of the
relevant facts and circumstances as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these
estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to accounting estimates, if
any, are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years affected. Refer Note No. 3 for
detailed discussion on estimates and judgments.
2.2 Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Capital Work in Progress (CWIP)
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses &
Capital work in progress are stated at cost less impairment, if any. The cost comprises purchase price, directly attributable
cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts, rebates, input tax credit (IGST/
CGST and SGST) or any other tax credit available to the Group are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when it is probable that future
economic benefit associated with these will flow to the group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Borrowing costs to the extent related/attributable to the acquisition/construction of property , plant and equipment that
takes substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized up to the date such asset is ready for
use.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or
when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the
asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in
the Statement of Profit or Loss when the asset is derecognised.
PPE not ready for intended use on the date of balance sheet are disclosed as “capital work-in-progress”.
Depreciation on addition to property plant and equipment is provided on pro-rata basis from the date of acquisition.
Depreciation on sale/deduction from property plant and equipment is provided up to the date preceding the date of sale,
deduction as the case may be. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount.
These are included in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each
financial year end and adjusted prospectively, as appropriate.

The cost comprises purchase price, directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to its working condition for the intended
use which includes any trade discounts, rebates, input tax credit (IGST/ CGST and SGST) or any other tax credit available to
the group are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Borrowing costs to the extent related/attributable to the acquisition/construction of intangible asset that takes substantial
period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized from the date it meets capitalization criteria till such asset
is ready for use.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives.
The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the expected useful
life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortization period is changed accordingly.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal
proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when the asset is
derecognized.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the
transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
► In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
► In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability accessible to the Group.
The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizingthe use of unobservable inputs.
The Group's management determines the policies and procedures for fair value measurement.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the
fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
as a whole:
► Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
► Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
directly or indirectly observable.
► Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the goods and consumables are delivered at the agreed point of delivery
which generally is the premises of the customer.
Marketing Support
Marketing support income is recognised upon transfer of control of promised services to customers. Revenue is measured
at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, incentives, performance bonuses, price
concessions, amounts collected on behalf of third parties, or other similar items, if any, as specified in the contract with
the customer. Revenue is recorded provided the recovery of consideration is probable and determinable.
2.6 Taxes
a) Current Income Tax:
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered or paid to the taxation authorities.
The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the year
end date. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
b) Deferred Tax:
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences arising between the
tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in financial statements. Deferred income tax is also not
accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination
that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is
determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the year and are
expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that
future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be
paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
2.8 Leases
The Group as a lessee
The Group’s lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for warehouse and office. The Group assesses whether a
contract contains a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to
control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract
conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether: (i) the Group has the right to
obtian substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset through the period of the lease and (ii)
the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
292
Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (formerly known as Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited)
Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
At the date of commencement of the lease, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease
liability for all lease arrangements in which it is a lessee, except for leases with a short-term leases (term of twelve months
or less ) and lease of low value assets. For these short-term leases and lease of low value assets, the Group recognizes the
lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement
date, discounted using the group’s incremental borrowings rate. It remeasured when there is change in index or rate, if
there is is a change in group’s estimate of amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the group
changes its assessment of whether it will exercises a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability
is measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of right of -use asset, or is recorded
in profit & loss if carrying amount of right of -use asset has been reduced to zero.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been
classified as financing cash flows.
The Group has elected not to recognize right-of use-asset and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term
of 12 months or less and leases of low value assets. The group recognizes the lease payment associated with these leases
as an expense over the lease term.
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any option
to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. The Group makes an assessment on the
expected lease term on a lease-by lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any options to
extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, the Group considers factors such as any
significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination of the lease and the
importance of the underlying asset to Group’s operations taking into account the location of the underlying asset and the
availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to ensure that the lease term reflects
the current economic circumstances.
2.9 Inventories
The inventory comprises of traded goods which are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost of inventory
of traded goods is arrived based on actual cost by batch which comprises cost of purchases and all other costs incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to
make the sale.
Provision is made for the cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, whenever considered necessary.
An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and recoverable amount. Losses
are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss and reflected in an allowance account.
When the Group considers that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written
off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event
occurring after the impairment was recognised, then the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through
Statement of Profit and Loss.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of its value in use and its fair
value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value
using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to
the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that
293
Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (formerly known as Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited)
Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
generates cash in flows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of
assets (the “Cash-Generating Unit” - CGU).
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, when there is an indication that the Goodwill may be
impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of the cash generating unit, including goodwill, is
compared with its fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss
is recognised, up to a maximum amount of the goodwill related to the cash generating unit.
Control exists when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has
the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights are considered
only if the rights are substantive. The Group measures goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the fair value of
the consideration transferred, less the net recognised amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration transferred,
a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in the OCI and accumulates the same in equity as capital reserve where
there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination as a bargain purchase else
the gain is directly recognised in equity as capital reserve. Consideration transferred includes the fair values of the assets
transferred, liabilities incurred by the Group to the previous owners of the acquiree, and equity interests issued by the
Group. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent consideration. Consideration transferred
does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Any goodwill that arises on account of
such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent
consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not re-measured and the
settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is re-measured at fair value at each
reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in the statement of
profit and loss. A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination only if such a liability represents
a present obligation and arises from a past event, and its fair value can be measured reliably.
The Group creates a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow
of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that probably will
not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recorded nor disclosed in the financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term
investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
294
Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (formerly known as Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited)
Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
At initial recognition, financial asset is measured at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not “at fair value
through profit or loss”, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction
costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
a) at amortized cost; or
b) at fair value through other comprehensive income; or
c) at fair value through profit or loss.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of
the related cash flows.
Amortized cost:
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal
and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income
using the effective interest rate method (EIR).
The Group does not own any financial asset classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Asset that do not meet criteria for amortised cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Interest
income from these financial assets are included in other income. The group does not own any financial asset classified at
fair value through profit or loss.
Equity instruments: All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments which
are held for trading and contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which Ind AS
103 applies are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, the Group may make an irrevocable election to
present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income. The Group makes such election on
an instrument-by-instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If the Group decides to classify an equity instrument as FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding
dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and loss, even
on sale of investment. However, the Group may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
295
Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (formerly known as Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited)
Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized in the
statement of profit and loss.
The Group assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortised
cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant
increase in credit risk.
For trade receivables only, the Group applies the simplified approach required by Ind AS 109, which
requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Where the financial asset is transferred then in that case financial asset is derecognized only if substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred. Where the entity has not transferred substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of directly
attributable transaction costs.
iii. Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the
Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.
296
Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (formerly known as Entero Healthcare Solutions Private Limited)
Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information
(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events and must be
enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the group or the
counterparty.
Employee's State Insurance Scheme: Contribution towards employees' state insurance scheme is made to the regulatory
authorities, where the Group has no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as
the Group does not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis which are charged
to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The Group has no further obligations under these plans beyond its monthly contributions.
Compensated Absences: Accumulated compensated absences are unused leaves which can be encashed only on
discontinuation of service by employee. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of
accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused entitlement
as at the year end.
All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are restated at the year end at the exchange rate prevailing at the
year end and the exchange differences are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange
rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

The weighted average numbers of equity shares are adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in the rights
issue, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity shares
outstanding, without corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects of all
dilutive potential equity shares.
Other items of income are accounted as and when the right to receive arises and it is probable that the
economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
2.20 Commitments
Commitments are future liability for contractual expenditure. Commitment are classified and disclosed as follows:
i) Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for; and
ii) Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion
of management.
Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid
excessive details.
Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the profit before tax excluding exceptional
items for the effects of:
i. changes during the period in operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;
ii. non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and
iii. all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.

(₹ in Million, unless otherwise stated)
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences and depreciation carry-forwards could be utilized. The position will be
reviewed at each reporting period and will be recognised when the probability improves.
The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market yields
available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. Salary increase rate
takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis.
v) Sales Return
The Group accounts for sales returns accrual by recording refund liability concurrent with the recognition of revenue at
the time of a product sale. This liability is based on the Group’s estimate of expected sales returns. Accordingly, the
estimate of sales returns is determined primarily by the Group’s historical experience of sales returns.
At the time of recognising the refund liability, the Group also recognises an asset, (i.e., the right to the returned goods)
which is included in Other Current assets for the products expected to be returned. The Group initially measures this asset
at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods, including any potential
decreases in the value of the returned goods. Along with re-measuring the refund liability at the end of each reporting
period, the Group updates the measurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to its expected level of returns, as
well as any additional decreases in the value of the returned products.

Annexure V - Notes to Restated Consolidated Financial Information

The amendments clarify how companies account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning
obligations. The amendments narrowed the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of Ind AS 12
(recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable
and deductible temporary differences.
The Group does not expect these amendment to have any significant impact in its financial statements

The recoverable amount of a CGU is based on higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participant at measurement date. Value in use is present value of future cash flow
expected to be derived from an assets (CGU). The value in use is estimated using discounted cash flows over a period of 5 years and Cash flows beyond 5 years
is estimated by capitalising the future maintainable cash flows by an appropriate capitalisation rate and then discounted using appropriate discount rate. This
fair value measurement was categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on inputs in the valuation technique used.
Operating margins and growth rates for the five year cash flow projections have been estimated based on past experience and after considering the financial
budgets/forecasts provided by the management. Other key assumptions used in the estimation of the recoverable amount are set out below. The values
assigned to the key assumptions represent management's assessment of future trends in the relevant industry and have been based on historical data from
both external and internal sources.

31 March 2023 31 March 2022 31 March 2021

Terminal value growth rate 7% 7% 7%
Revenue growth rate 20% 15% 15%
With regard to assessment of recoverable amount, no reasonalably possible change in any of the above key assumptions would cost the carrying amount of the
CGU's to exceed their recoverable amount.
The Group has also performed sensitivity analysis calculations on the projections used and discount rate applied. Company has concluded that, given the
significant headroom that exists, and the results of the sensitivity analysis performed, there is no significant risk that reasonable changes in any key assumptions
would cause the carrying value of CGU to exceed its value in use.

The fair value of financial instruments as referred to above have been classified into three categories depending on the inputs used in the valuation technique. The
hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Level 1: Level 1 hierarchy includes financial instruments measured using quoted prices. This includes listed equity instruments and mutual funds that have quoted
price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.
Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable
market data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is
included in level 2.
Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. This is the case for unlisted equity
securities included in level 3.

48 Financial Risk Management
The Group has in place comprehensive risk management policy in order to identify measure, monitor and mitigate various risks pertaining to its business.
Along with the risk management policy, an adequate internal control system, commensurate to the size and complexity of its business, is maintained to
align with the philosophy of The Group. Together they help in achieving the business goals and objectives consistent with The group's strategies to
prevent inconsistencies and gaps between its policies and practices. The Board of Directors/committtees reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the
risk management policy and internal control system. The Group’s financial risk management is an integral part of how to plan and execute its business
strategies.
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
• Credit risk
• Liquidity risk and
• Market risk
(A) Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and
arises principally from the Group’s trade and other receivables. The carrying amounts of financial assets represent the maximum credit risk exposure.
i) Trade and Other Receivables
Trade receivables are typically unsecured and are derived from revenue earned from customers located in India. Credit risk has always been managed by
the Group through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and continuously monitoring the creditworthiness of customers to which the Group grants
credit terms in the normal course of business.
In compliance with the requirement of Ind AS 109, The Group uses expected credit loss model to assess the impairment loss. The Group computes the
expected credit loss allowance as per simplified approach for trade receivables based on available external and internal credit risk factors such as the
ageing of its dues, market information about the customer and The Group’s historical experience for customers. The Group has used a practical
expedient by computing the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables based on a provision matrix. The provision matrix takes into account
historical credit loss experience and is based on the ageing of the receivable days and the rates as given in the provision matrix.
The movement in the allowance for impairment in resepct of trade receivables during the year was as follows:

Notes:
a) Our management is gradually scaling down on our generic medicine business branded under “Curever”, due to significant
external competition and pricing pressure. Further, as our generic medicine business is not expected to contribute significantly
to our financial results going forward, the EBITDA of the Curever business for the respective years has been adjusted for the
purposes of calculating our Adjusted EBITDA.
b) During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, we procured a significant amount of inventory of sanitizers,
PPE kits, masks and infrared thermometers in anticipation of more waves of COVID-19 and emergencies thereafter. However,
as the impact of COVID-19 subsided from late 2022 onwards, the demand for these inventories also reduced. As a result, these
have been brought down to their new realisable values and presented as adjustments to our EBITDA, as we are gradually
phasing out trading of these products.

The industry-related information contained in this section is derived from the industry report titled “Assessment
of the pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical delivery industry in India” dated August 2023 (the “CRISIL Report”)
prepared by CRISIL . We have commissioned and paid for the CRISIL Report for the purposes of confirming our
understanding of the industry exclusively in connection with the Offer. We officially engaged CRISIL in connection
with the preparation of the CRISIL Report pursuant to an engagement letter dated June 28, 2023. A copy of the
CRISIL Report shall be available on the website of our Company at
https://www.enterohealthcare.com/investor/initial-public-offer/industry-report.php. Unless otherwise indicated,
the industry-related information contained in this section is derived from the CRISIL Report (extracts of which
have been appropriately incorporated as part of “Industry Overview” beginning on page 154).
Overview
We are amongst the top three healthcare products distributors in India in terms of revenue in Financial Year 2022,
and reported an operating income of ₹25,220.65 million in Financial Year 2022 (Source: CRISIL Report). Further,
we also achieved the fastest scale-up of operations among healthcare products distributors in India (between
Financial Year 2019 to Financial Year 2022), and reached ₹25,000 million of operating income within four years
of operations (Source: CRISIL Report).
Our Company was founded in 2018 by Prabhat Agrawal, our Promoter, Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer, and Prem Sethi, our Promoter, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating Officer, with the vision to create
an organized, pan-India, technology driven and integrated healthcare products distribution platform that can add
value to the entire healthcare ecosystem. We add value to the healthcare product manufacturers that work with us
by providing them reach and accessibility to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics through our integrated and
technology driven, pan-India healthcare products distribution platform. As of March 31, 2023, our 73 warehouses
located across the country, last-mile delivery infrastructure and relationships with pharmacies, hospitals and
clinics enables healthcare product manufacturers to make their products available to a wide range of customers.
Similarly, the pharmacies, hospitals and clinics that we service get access to a wide range of healthcare products
through our distribution infrastructure and our healthcare product manufacturer relationships. During the Financial
Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, we catered to over 39,500, 64,200 and 81,400 retail customers, respectively, and over
1,600, 2,500 and 3,400 hospital customers, respectively. Further, as of March 31, 2023, we have supply
relationships with over 1,900 healthcare product manufacturers that gives us access to over 64,500 product stock-
keeping units (“SKUs”).
393
Benefits to healthcare product manufacturers:
• Access to large number of pharmacies, hospitals and clinics throughout the country through a single distributor
platform
According to the CRISIL Report, the distribution of pharmaceutical products in India is extremely fragmented
with approximately 65,000 distributors, as of March 31, 2023, that generally service limited local areas only,
unlike developed markets where large nationwide distributors occupy a dominant market position. Manufacturers,
as well as retail pharmacies, may prefer lower number of distributors for better supply chain operational
efficiencies along with reduced complexities (Source: CRISIL Report). The operational efficiencies can be
achieved through reduced logistics costs as a result of streamlined procurement and distribution as provided by
large/national distributors (Source: CRISIL Report). Other benefits of large/national distributors to pharmaceutical
and healthcare product manufacturers/marketers include (i) better customer and geographical reach for
engagement in a fragmented retail space through a large and tech-enabled channel partner, and (ii) efficient
inventory management, leading to lower prescription bounce rates and expiries (Source: CRISIL Report). We are
also among the top three healthcare products distributor in India to have a wide network reach with retail
pharmacies in India, and catered to over 39,500, 64,200 and 81,400 retail pharmacies in Financial Years 2021,
2022 and 2023, respectively (Source: CRISIL Report). In addition, we have the largest hospital customer network
among pharmaceutical products distributor in India, and catered to over 1,600, 2,500 and 3,400 hospital customers
in Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. (Source: CRISIL Report)
With our nationwide presence of 73 distribution warehouses located across 37 cities in 19 states and union
territories, and a customer base of over 81,400 pharmacies and 3,400 hospitals spread across 495 districts, as of
March 31, 2023, we provide vast access to healthcare product manufacturers.
• Availability of a nationwide healthcare products distribution platform in compliance with relevant regulations
for setting up our warehouses, and logistics services
According to the CRISIL Report, pharmaceutical products and devices, including life-saving medicines require
special storage, transportation and handling, to ensure product quality. Due to the current fragmented nature of
the supply chain in India, scaled up, compliant and efficient warehousing and logistics remains a challenge.
As of March 31, 2023, we have 424,028 square feet of warehousing space with temperature monitoring systems
and modern storage solutions for optimal storage of healthcare products. Our warehouses are staffed with trained
manpower to ensure adherence to temperature requirements as per the storage instructions of manufacturers. We
are in compliance with the relevant regulations for setting up our warehouses. All of our warehouses that store
products governed by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the rules thereunder, also have the required drug
licenses issued by the relevant regulatory authority. These drug licenses are periodically renewed based on the
relevant regulatory authority’s inspections and satisfaction with our level of regulatory compliance.
We provide micro level sales and inventory data to healthcare product manufacturers. Our technology backed data
intelligence, insights and analytics can be used by healthcare product manufacturers for sales, marketing and sales
force effectiveness improvement related initiatives, identification of key opportunity areas, understanding
customer preferences, demand-supply dynamics and product sales trends.
• Comprehensive end-to-end healthcare products distribution solutions combined with marketing and promotion
capabilities
We offer both demand generation and demand fulfilment solutions to healthcare product manufacturers. We offer
demand generation solutions to healthcare product manufacturers by promoting and creating awareness of their
product brands to healthcare professionals, doctors and channels such as pharmacies, hospitals (both private and
government), clinics and customers through e-commerce marketplaces. For example, we have entered into an
agreement with Roche Products (India) Private Limited for the promotion, marketing and distribution of its four
nephrology drugs in India. Further, we provide end-to-end healthcare products distribution solutions including
imports, central warehousing, redistribution, last mile delivery and connection with the pharmacies, hospitals and
clinics. Our demand generation and demand fulfilment solutions are integrated across the value chain and we
benefit from synergies arising from our wide customer network, distribution infrastructure and geographic reach.
394
Benefits to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics
The multiple distributors traditionally used by pharmacies, hospitals and clinics in India have varied levels of
product availability, fulfilment rates and service reliability, which can lead to loss of sales and higher costs of
procurement. (Source: CRISIL Report)
Our scale of operations allows us to procure products at competitive prices and have a wide product range with
adequate inventory levels. We also provide a diverse spectrum of healthcare products, including pharmaceutical
products, nutraceuticals, medical devices, surgical consumables, over-the-counter medicines and vaccines, which
enables us to become a one stop shop for our customer’s healthcare product needs. Accordingly, we aim to provide
high fill rates to our customers, which in turn enables them to provide high fill rates to end consumers. We also
aim to provide low turnaround time to our customers. Our ability to provide high fill rates and low turnaround
time to our customers is crucial to optimize their inventory level, and to reduce their loss of sales due to stock-
outs. According to the CRISIL Report, with the emergence of large / national distributors, retail pharmacies and
hospitals are expected to benefit from better inventory management, high fill rates, reliable service levels and
digital ordering experience provided by large / national distributors. Further, we provide cold chain logistics,
which is the safe transport of temperature-sensitive goods and products along the supply chain, by utilising our
warehouses with temperature monitoring systems and modern storage solutions, which are staffed with trained
manpower to ensure adherence to temperature requirements as per the storage instructions of manufacturers.
• Better retail experience through technology-based solutions such as direct B2B applications and web platforms
We leverage technology to provide a positive buying experience through our digital solutions such as the Entero
Direct B2B application (“Entero Direct”), where customers have real-time visibility of our product range,
pricing, inventory levels, order status, outstanding balances, promotional offers. Entero Direct can be used for
order management 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Through Entero Direct, pharmacies are able to place orders
with us, track the status of their orders, make online payments and arrange for returns and claim settlements by
means of an integrated ‘single-click’ system. Further, healthcare product manufacturers can use the Entero Direct
platform to display their products and run promotional offers to promote their brands. As of March 31, 2023,
Entero Direct had over 8,600 active users, with sales on Entero Direct aggregating to ₹3,687.80 million for the
Financial Year 2023.
Apart from Entero Direct, our ERP systems are also integrated with our other ordering B2B applications, thereby
providing our customers with a wide range of options for seamless order management. For details, see “Our
Business – Description of our Business – Technology” on page 202.
Further, with the data collected from our large base of pharmacy, hospital and clinic customers, our business
intelligence tools assist healthcare product manufacturers with their operations, including product placement and
launches, channel marketing opportunities and sales force management. Through such data-based tools, we are
able to gain insights into procurement trends and carry out data-based forecasting of stock demand, thereby
ensuring better fill rates and inventory management.
Our business operations are led by an experienced and driven team, comprised of professionals with experience
in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Our co-founder, Promoter, Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer, Prabhat Agrawal, and our co-founder, Promoter, Whole-time Director and Chief Operating
Officer, Prem Sethi, both with extensive experience in our industry, play instrumental roles in the strategic
direction and growth of our business. Our Company’s shareholders includes OrbiMed Asia III Mauritius Limited,
a healthcare-focused fund, which has provided us continuous support through our growth in business.

The success of our healthcare products distribution platform depends on our ability to grow the number of
customers serviced by us and also the number of healthcare product manufacturers that use our platform. As the
number of healthcare product manufacturers on our platform increases, our access to product SKUs also increases,
which in turn allows us to increase customer wallet share, as well as provide a wider and more diverse range of
products to pharmacies, hospitals and clinics. Further, as the number of pharmacies, hospitals and clinics using
our platform increases, the products they avail from us also increases, leading to higher revenues for us. Over the
past three Financial Years, we have grown the number of customers serviced by us, the number of districts that
we cover and the number of healthcare companies that use our platform (which has enabled us to increase the
number of SKUs handled over the past three Financial Years), as set out in the table below:
As a result of the increase in our customer and supplier count and number of SKUs handled, and our geographical
expansion, our revenue from operations have increased from ₹17,797.37 million in Financial Year 2021 to
₹25,220.65 million in Financial Year 2022 and ₹33,002.07 million in Financial Year 2023, at a CAGR of 36.17%
(between Financial Year 2021 to Financial Year 2023).
Going forward, we expect to drive the expansion in our customer and supplier base through our platform’s value
proposition. To healthcare product manufacturers, our platform provides access to a large number of pharmacies,
hospitals and clinics across India, as well as access to an efficient supply chain infrastructure with logistics
services and warehousing spaces that comply with good warehouse practices. To pharmacies, hospitals and clinics,
our platform provides a one stop solution for procurement needs, as well as a better buying experience through
technology based solutions such as direct B2B applications and web platforms. For further details relating to our
distribution platform, see “Our Business – Overview” and “Our Business – Our Competitive Strengths – We are
one of India’s largest and fastest growing healthcare products distribution platform” on pages 189 and 193,
respectively.
According to the CRISIL Report, market consolidation in India’s pharmaceutical distribution market is expected
to be supported by factors such as introduction of the Goods and Services Tax regime and benefits presented by
the consolidation of the segment, such as access to additional capital, better resource management, advantages of
scale, procurement and operational efficiencies and management expertise, establishment of a technology-driven
country-wide distribution network, better infrastructure, quick turnaround times and high fill rates. According to
CRISIL Report, large / national pharmaceutical distribution players accounted for 8% to 10% share of total
distributors in Financial Year 2023, and is expected to rise to 20% to 30% by Financial Year 2028. Since the
inception of our Company in the Financial Year 2018, we have acquired 32 entities in the healthcare products
distribution industry, which has contributed to the growth in our customer and supplier base and districts covered.
This growth has, in turn, contributed to the growth in our revenue from operations. For details of the growth in
sales (over the past three financial years) by the companies acquired by us since April 1, 2018, please see “Our
Business – Competitive Strengths - Track record of inorganic expansion and integration to grow our geographic
reach, revenues and scale”.
Going forward, we intend to further supplement our inorganic growth with strategic acquisitions of regional and
local distributors with strong branding, market position and growth potential in markets where we either do not
have a presence or intend to consolidate market share. Accordingly, we have adopted a pan-India approach
towards acquiring and integrating smaller distributors to expand our business and increase the wallet share of our
customers.
Given our leading market position, strong track record of acquisitions and integration of acquired entities and in-
depth industry experience, we believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the expected consolidation
opportunities. Currently, we have a pipeline of ten acquisitions (where non-binding term sheets have been signed)
397
across nine locations. For details, see “Our Business – Competitive Strengths – Proven track record of inorganic
expansion and successful integration to grow our geographic reach, revenues and scale” on page 193.
See also, “Pro Forma Financial Information” on page 375, which sets out our pro-forma financial information
as of and for the year ended March 31, 2023, showing the impact of the acquisition of two entities where we have
signed definitive agreements to consummate upon closing during the Financial Year 2024.
Our ability to improve our gross profit margin and manage our operational expenses and costs
Our gross profit amounted to ₹1,415.97 million, ₹2,096.28 million and ₹2,683.42 million for the Financial Years
2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Further, our gross profit margin amounted to 7.96%, 8.31% and 8.13% for
Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively. Our gross profit margin depends on our selling price to our
customers, our procurement cost from our suppliers, product mix and customer mix.
Our procurement cost from our suppliers is largely based on our suppliers’ discount structure and pricing schemes,
as well as market competition. We apply a margin over the designated selling prices set by our suppliers, when
we sell to our customers. As our expenses from purchase of stock-in-trade constitutes a significant portion of our
total expenses, our ability to procure products at competitive prices from our suppliers in order to improve our
gross profit margin significantly affects the profitability of our business. As we increase the scale of our operations
by increasing our customer and supplier base, we expect that we will be able to benefit from economies of scale
and improve our procurement costs. Further, we expect that our planned expansion through strategic acquisitions
of regional and local distributors will allow us to increase the volume of products procured from our suppliers,
which in turn will allow us to negotiate additional trade discounts with our suppliers, thereby enabling us to
procure products at more competitive prices.
Additionally, our ability to expand into higher margin product segments such as medical consumables and devices
will improve our product margins. According to the CRISIL Report, for medical consumables and devices, the
channel margin (inclusive of distributors and retailers) ranges between 1.5 to 2.0 times the channel margin for
pharmaceutical products. Thus, a shift in our product mix towards higher margin product segments will improve
our gross profit margins. Further, in terms of customer mix, hospitals have typically provided us with better gross
profit margins, as compared to pharmacies and clinics. Thus, our ability to increase our customer base of hospital
customers will also improve our gross profit margins.
Our profitability is also impacted by our operational expenses. Our operational expenses include, among others,
expenses and costs relating to leases, human resources, distribution and technology infrastructure. As substantially
all of our warehouses, as well as our registered and corporate office are located on leased premises, our lease
expenses depend largely on our ability to negotiate lease prices with our lessors upon expiry of our lease contracts.
In relation to expenses relating to human resources, distribution and technology infrastructure, these differ from
state to state depending on a number of factors, including power tariffs and regulations relating to manpower costs
such as minimum wages. Our operational expenses also fluctuate based on external factors such as inflation. Our
ability to manage our operational expenses will affect our total expenses, which in turn will affect the profitability
of our business.
Our results of operations are significantly affected by the growth of the healthcare products distribution market in
India. According to the CRISIL Report, the target addressable market for pharmaceutical distributors in India is
valued at ₹2.7 trillion in the Financial Year 2023 and is expected to grow at 10% to 11% CAGR from the Financial
Year 2023 to the Financial Year 2028. We are amongst the top three healthcare products distributors in India in
terms of revenue in Financial Year 2022 (Source: CRISIL Report) and are well positioned to capitalize on the
growth of the Indian healthcare products distribution market. We also believe that we will be able to rapidly scale
our business through strategic acquisitions of regional and local distributors, which will allow us to capitalize on
the growth of the Indian healthcare products distribution market in a short time frame. Further, our ability to not
only distribute but also market and promote our customers’ brands will allow us to differentiate ourselves from
our competitors and capitalize on the growth of the Indian healthcare products distribution market. However, if
the Indian healthcare products distribution market does not grow as rapidly as projected, our future growth may
be affected.

399
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by us. We control an entity when we are exposed to, or have rights to, variable
returns from our involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through our power to direct
the relevant activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
to us. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The acquisition method of accounting is used for
business combination by us. We assess whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate
that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of
a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the
date we gain control until the date we cease to control the subsidiary. Consolidated financial statements are
prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a
member in our team uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for
like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that member’s financial
statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with our accounting policies.
Consolidation procedure
a) We combine the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries line by line, by adding together like items
of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of our subsidiary. For this
purpose, income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognized
in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
b) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of
equity of each subsidiary.
c) Eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions
between our entities.
NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets at the date of acquisition.
Changes in our equity interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions.

All assets and liabilities are classified into current and non-current.
Assets
• it is expected to be realized in, or intended for sale or consumption in, our normal operating cycle;
• it is held primarily for the purpose of being traded;
• it is expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
• it is cash or cash equivalent unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12
months after the balance sheet date.
Current assets include the current portion of non-current financial assets. All other assets are classified as non-
current.
Liabilities
A liability is classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria: it expects to settle the liability in
our normal operating cycle;
Current liabilities include current portion of non-current financial liabilities. All other liabilities are classified as
non-current.
Basis of Measurement
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost convention on accrual basis, except for the
following material items that have been measured at fair value as required by relevant Ind AS:-
• Certain Financial assets are measured at fair value (refer accounting policy on financial instruments)
• Employee’s Defined Benefit Plan as per actuarial valuation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Ind AS requires our management to make estimate and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date, reported amount
401
of revenue and expenses for the year and disclosures of contingent liabilities as at the balance sheet date. The
estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon the management’s
evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could
differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a periodic basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates, if any, are recognized in the year in which the estimates are revised and in any future years
affected. Refer to “- Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions” below for detailed discussion
on estimates and judgments.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses and capital work in progress are stated at cost less impairment, if any. The cost comprises purchase price,
directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to our working condition for the intended use. Any trade discounts,
rebates, input tax credit (IGST/ CGST and SGST) or any other tax credit available to us are deducted in arriving
at the purchase price.
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment is capitalized only when we are probable that
future economic benefit associated with these will flow to us and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Borrowing costs to the extent related/attributable to the acquisition/construction of property, plant and equipment
that takes substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized up to the date such asset is
ready for use.
An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon
disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from our use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on
derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount
of the asset) is included in the Statement of Profit or Loss when the asset is derecognized.
Property, plant and equipment not ready for intended use on the date of balance sheet are disclosed as “capital
work in progress”.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is provided on straightline method at their respective estimated
useful lives, which is in line with the estimated useful lives as specified in Schedule II of the Companies Act,
2013 as given below.
**For the said class of assets, we use different useful life than those prescribed in Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013. The useful life has
been assessed based on technical evaluation, taking into account the nature of the assets and the estimated usage basis our management’s
best judgment of economic benefits from the same classes of assets.
Depreciation on addition to property plant and equipment is provided on pro-rata basis from the date of
acquisition. Depreciation on sale/deduction from property plant and equipment is provided up to the date
preceding the date of sale, deduction as the case may be. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by
comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in Statement of Profit and Loss.
The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at
each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, as appropriate.
402
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. Following initial recognition,
intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization.
The cost comprises purchase price, directly attributable cost of bringing the asset to our working condition for the
intended use which includes any trade discounts, rebates, input tax credit (IGST/CGST and SGST) or any other
tax credit available to us are deducted in arriving at the purchase price.
Borrowing costs to the extent related/attributable to the acquisition/construction of intangible asset that takes
substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use are capitalized from the date it meets capitalization
criteria till such asset is ready for use.
Intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful economic lives.
The amortization period and the amortization method are reviewed at least at each financial year end. If the
expected useful life of the asset is significantly different from previous estimates, the amortization period is
changed accordingly.
Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit and loss when
the asset is derecognized.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
We use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available
to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable
inputs. The management determines the policies and procedures for fair value measurement.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized
within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair
value measurement as a whole:
• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is directly or indirectly observable.
• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement
is unobservable.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods to customers. Revenues from customer
contracts are considered for recognition and measurement when the contract has been approved by the parties to
the contract, the parties to the contract are committed to perform their respective obligations under the contract.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, incentives,
403
price concessions, amounts collected on behalf of third parties, or other similar items, if any, as specified in the
contract with the customer. Revenue is recorded provided the recovery of consideration is probable and
determinable.
Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the goods and consumables are delivered at the agreed point of
delivery which generally is the premises of the customer.
Marketing Support
Marketing support income is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services to customers. Revenue is
measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, incentives,
performance bonuses, price concessions, amounts collected on behalf of third parties, or other similar items, if
any, as specified in the contract with the customer. Revenue is recorded provided the recovery of consideration is
probable and determinable.
Taxes
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered or paid to the taxation
authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively
enacted, at the year-end date. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally
enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Deferred Tax
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the balance sheet approach, on temporary differences arising
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in financial statements. Deferred income
tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax
loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted
by the end of the year and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the
deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if we are
probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and losses.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable
tax regulation is subject to interpretation. We establish provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets
and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.
Current and deferred tax is recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss, except to the extent that it relates to items
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
We capitalize intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial
capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is
confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an
established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes
assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project, discount rates to be applied and the
expected period of benefits.
Leases
404
The Company/its subsidiaries as a lessee
Our lease asset classes primarily consist of leases for warehouse and office. We assess whether a contract contains
a lease, at inception of a contract. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the
use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys
the right to control the use of an identified asset, we assess whether: (i) we have the right to obtain substantially
all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset through the period of the lease and (ii) we have the
right to direct the use of the identified asset.
At the date of commencement of the lease, we recognize a right-of-use asset (“ROU”) and a corresponding lease
liability for all lease arrangements in which we are a lessee, except for leases with a short-term leases (term of
twelve months or less) and lease of low value assets. For these short-term leases and lease of low value assets, we
recognize the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the
commencement date, discounted using our incremental borrowings rate. We remeasured when there is change in
index or rate, if there is a change in company’s estimate of amount expected to be payable under a residual value
guarantee, or if we change our assessment of whether we will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option.
When the lease liability is measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit and loss if carrying amount of right-of-use asset has been reduced to
zero.
Lease liability and ROU asset have been separately presented in the Balance Sheet and lease payments have been
classified as financing cash flows.
We elected not to recognize right-of use-asset and lease liabilities for short term leases that have a lease term of
12 months or less and leases of low value assets. We recognize the lease payment associated with these leases as
an expense over the lease term.
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to determine the lease term as the non-cancellable period of a lease adjusted with any
option to extend or terminate the lease, if the use of such option is reasonably certain. We make an assessment on
the expected lease term on a lease-by lease basis and thereby assesses whether it is reasonably certain that any
options to extend or terminate the contract will be exercised. In evaluating the lease term, we consider factors
such as any significant leasehold improvements undertaken over the lease term, costs relating to the termination
of the lease and the importance of the underlying asset to our operations taking into account the location of the
underlying asset and the availability of suitable alternatives. The lease term in future periods is reassessed to
ensure that the lease term reflects the current economic circumstances.
Inventories
The inventory comprises of traded goods which are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of
inventory of traded goods is arrived based on actual cost by batch which comprises cost of purchases and all other
costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
Provision is made for the cost of obsolescence and other anticipated losses, whenever considered necessary.
We assess at each year end whether there is any objective evidence that a non-financial asset or a group of non-
financial assets is impaired. If any such indication exists, we estimates the asset’s recoverable amount and the
amount of impairment loss.
An impairment loss is calculated as the difference between an asset’s carrying amount and recoverable amount.
Losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss and reflected in an allowance account.
When we consider that there are no realistic prospects of recovery of the asset, the relevant amounts are written
off. If the amount of impairment loss subsequently decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an
405
event occurring after the impairment was recognized, then the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed
through Statement of Profit and Loss.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit (as defined below) is the greater of our value in use
and our fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money
and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the
smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash
inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “Cash-Generating Unit” - CGU).
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently, when there is an indication that the Goodwill may
be impaired. For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of the cash generating unit, including
goodwill, is compared with its fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a
goodwill impairment loss is recognised, up to a maximum amount of the goodwill related to the cash generating
unit.
Business combinations
We use the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The acquisition date is the
date on which control is transferred to the acquirer. Judgement is applied in determining the acquisition date and
determining whether control is transferred from one party to another.
Control exists when we are exposed to, or have rights to variable returns from our involvement with the entity and
have the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity. In assessing control, potential voting rights
are considered only if the rights are substantive. We measure goodwill as of the applicable acquisition date at the
fair value of the consideration transferred, less the net recognized amount of the identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed.
When the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the consideration
transferred, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in the OCI and accumulates the same in equity as
capital reserve where there exists clear evidence of the underlying reasons for classifying the business combination
as a bargain purchase else the gain is directly recognized in equity as capital reserve. Consideration transferred
includes the fair values of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred by us to the previous owners of the acquiree,
and equity interests issued by us. Consideration transferred also includes the fair value of any contingent
consideration. Consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing
relationships. Any goodwill that arises on account of such business combination is tested annually for impairment.
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay contingent
consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then we are not re-measured
and the settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is re-measured at fair
value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded
in the statement of profit and loss. A contingent liability of the acquiree is assumed in a business combination
only if such a liability represents a present obligation and arises from a past event, and our fair value can be
measured reliably.
A provision is recognized when we have a present obligation as a result of past event; we are probable that an
outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, in respect of which a reliable estimate can be made
of the amount of obligation. Provisions are not discounted to our present value and are determined based on best
estimate required to settle the obligation at the reporting date. These are reviewed at each reporting date and
adjusted to reflect the current best estimates.
We create a provision when there is present obligation as a result of a past event that probably requires an outflow
of resources and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of obligation.
A disclosure for a contingent liability is made when there is a possible obligation or a present obligation that
probably will not require an outflow of resources or where a reliable estimate of the obligation cannot be made.
Contingent assets are neither recorded nor disclosed in the financial statements.
406
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalent in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks, cash on hand and short-term deposits net
of bank overdraft with an original maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of
changes in value.
Cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of cash flow statement comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-
term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Financial Instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity.
Financial assets
At initial recognition, financial asset is measured at our fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not “at fair
value through profit or loss”, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement
For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in following categories:
• at amortized cost; or
• at fair value through other comprehensive income; or
• at fair value through profit or loss.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual
terms of the related cash flows.
Amortized cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent
solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method (“EIR”).
Fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”): Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash
flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets’ cash flows represent solely payments of principal and
interest, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). Movements in the carrying
amounts are taken through Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), except for the recognition of impairment gains
or losses, interest revenue and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognized in Statement of Profit and
Loss. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in OCI is
reclassified from equity to Statement of Profit and Loss and recognized in other gains/ (losses). Interest income
from these financial assets is included in “Other income” using the effective interest rate method.
We do not own any financial asset classified at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”): Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are
measured at fair value through statement of profit and loss. Interest income from these financial assets is included
in “Other income”.
Asset that do not meet criteria for amortized cost or FVTOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Interest income from these financial assets are included in other income. We do not own any financial asset
classified at fair value through profit or loss.
Equity instruments: All equity investments in scope of Ind AS 109 are measured at fair value. Equity instruments
which are held for trading and contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to
which Ind AS 103 applies are classified as FVTPL. For all other equity instruments, we may make an irrevocable
407
election to present in OCI subsequent changes in the fair value in other comprehensive income. We make such
election on an instrument-by- instrument basis. The classification is made on initial recognition and is irrevocable.
If we decide to classify an equity instrument as FVOCI, then all fair value changes on the instrument, excluding
dividends, are recognized in the OCI. There is no recycling of the amounts from OCI to statement of profit and
loss, even on sale of investment. However, we may transfer the cumulative gain or loss within equity.
Equity instruments included within the FVTPL category are measured at fair value with all changes recognized
in the statement of profit and loss.
We assess on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with our assets carried at amortised
cost and FVOCI debt instruments. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a
significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables only, we apply the simplified approach required by Ind
AS 109, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables
a) the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset is transferred or
b) retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation
to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.
Where the financial asset is transferred then in that case financial asset is derecognized only if substantially all
risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset is transferred. Where the entity has not transferred
substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognized.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
and at amortized cost, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of borrowings and payables, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below: Financial liabilities
at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Separated embedded
derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments.
Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using
the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in Statement of Profit and Loss when the liabilities are
derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account
any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization
is included as finance costs in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
408
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss as finance costs.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously. The legally enforceable right must not be contingent on future events
and must be enforceable in the normal course of business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of
us or the counterparty.
Employee Benefits
Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within
12 months after the end of the year in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of
employees’ services up to the end of the year and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the
liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the balance sheet.
Provident Fund: Contribution towards provident fund is made to the regulatory authorities, where we have no
further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as we do not carry any further
obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis which are charged to the Statement of Profit
and Loss.
Employee’s State Insurance Scheme: Contribution towards employees’ state insurance scheme is made to the
regulatory authorities, where we have no further obligations. Such benefits are classified as Defined Contribution
Schemes as we do not carry any further obligations, apart from the contributions made on a monthly basis which
are charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss.
We have no further obligations under these plans beyond our monthly contributions.
Gratuity: We provide for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees in
accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested
employees at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective
employee’s salary. Our liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit method) at the end of
each year. Actuarial losses/gains are recognized in the other comprehensive income in the year in which they
arise.
Compensated Absences: Accumulated compensated absences are unused leaves which can be encashed only on
discontinuation of service by employee. The obligation towards the same is measured at the expected cost of
accumulating compensated absences as the additional amount expected to be paid as a result of the unused
entitlement as at the year end.
Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The financial statements are presented in Indian rupee
(INR), which is our functional and presentation currency.
409
Transactions and balances
On initial recognition, all foreign currency transactions are recorded by applying to the foreign currency amount
the exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
Gains/Losses arising out of fluctuation in foreign exchange rate between the transaction date and settlement date
are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
All monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are restated at the year end at the exchange rate prevailing
at the year end and the exchange differences are recognized in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to equity
shareholders by the weighted average number of equity shares outstanding during the period.
The weighted average numbers of equity shares are adjusted for events such as bonus issue, bonus element in the
rights issue, share split and reverse share split (consolidation of shares) that have changed the number of equity
shares outstanding, without corresponding change in resources.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit or loss for the year attributable to equity
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for the effects
of all dilutive potential equity shares.
Other income
Interest income is recognised on time proportion basis taking into account the amount outstanding and the
applicable interest rate. Interest Income is recognised on a basis of effective interest method as set out in Ind AS
109, Financial Instruments, and where no significant uncertainty as to measurability or collectability exists.
Exceptional items
When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or
incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature
and amount of such items is disclosed separately as Exceptional items.
Commitments
Commitments are future liability for contractual expenditure. Commitment are classified and disclosed as follows:
a) Estimated amounts of contracts remaining to be executed on capital account and not provided for; and
b) Other non-cancellable commitments, if any, to the extent they are considered material and relevant in the opinion
of management.
Other commitments related to sales/procurements made in the normal course of business are not disclosed to avoid
excessive details.
Statement of Cash Flows is prepared segregating the cash flows into operating, investing and financing activities.
Cash flow from operating activities is reported using indirect method adjusting the profit before tax excluding
exceptional items for the effects of:
a) changes during the period in operating receivables and payables, transactions of a non-cash nature;
b) non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, unrealised foreign currency gains and losses; and
c) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
410
Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and
the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes
that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future years.
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the year-end date,
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within
the next financial year, are described below. We based our assumptions and estimates on parameters available
when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments,
however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond our control. Such changes
are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future temporary differences between the carrying values
of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, depreciation carry-forwards and tax credits.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that we are probable that future taxable income will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences and depreciation carry-forwards could be utilized. The
position will be reviewed at each reporting period and will be recognized when the probability improves.
The cost of the defined benefit plans such as gratuity and leave encashment are determined using actuarial
valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions that may differ from actual developments
in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases and mortality rates. Due
to the complexities involved in the valuation and our long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly
sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each year end.
The principal assumptions are the discount and salary growth rate. The discount rate is based upon the market
yields available on government bonds at the accounting date with a term that matches that of liabilities. Salary
increase rate takes into account of inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors on long term basis.
We capitalize intangible asset under development for a project in accordance with the accounting policy. Initial
capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgement that technological and economic feasibility is
confirmed, usually when a product development project has reached a defined milestone according to an
established project management model. In determining the amounts to be capitalized, management makes
assumptions regarding the expected future cash generation of the project, discount rates to be applied and the
expected period of benefits.
In assessing impairment, management estimates the recoverable amount of each asset or cash-generating units
based on expected future cash flows and uses an interest rate to discount them. Estimation uncertainty relates to
assumptions about future operating results and the determination of a suitable discount rate.
Sales Return
We account for sales returns accrual by recording refund liability concurrent with the recognition of revenue at
the time of a product sale. This liability is based on our estimate of expected sales returns. Accordingly, the
estimate of sales returns is determined primarily by our historical experience of sales returns.
At the time of recognizing the refund liability, we also recognizes an asset, (i.e., the right to the returned goods)
which is included in “Other Current Assets” for the products expected to be returned. We initially measures this
411
asset at the former carrying amount of the inventory, less any expected costs to recover the goods, including any
potential decreases in the value of the returned goods. Along with re-measuring the refund liability at the end of
each reporting period, we update the measurement of the asset recorded for any revisions to our expected level of
returns, as well as any additional decreases in the value of the returned products.
The following descriptions set forth information with respect to the key components of our profit and loss
statements.
Total Income
Revenue from operations. Revenue from operations consists of (i) revenue from the sale of healthcare products to
customers through our platform; and (ii) other operative revenue, comprising mainly fees for marketing services
that we provide and charges that we levy for delayed payments.
Other income. Other income primarily consists of interest income on fixed deposits with banks designated as
amortized cost, interest income on intercorporate deposit, other interest income, interest on unwinding of security
deposits, net gain or loss on foreign currency transaction and translation, and miscellaneous income.
Expenses
Expenses include purchase of stock-in-trade, changes in inventories of stock-in-trade, employee benefits expense,
finance costs, depreciation and amortization expense and other expenses.
Purchase of stock-in-trade. Purchase of stock-in-trade comprises purchases of healthcare products from healthcare
product manufacturers that we on-sell to our customers.
Employee benefits expense. Employee benefit expense consists of salaries, wages, bonus and other allowances,
contribution to provident fund and other funds, gratuity and leave encashment, leave obligation and staff welfare
expenses.
Finance costs. Finance costs consist of interest expenses on bank loan, interest expenses on loan from others
(comprising mainly loan from directors), interest expenses on delay in payment of taxes, interest expenses on
lease liabilities, processing charges, bank charges and others.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation on
property, plant and equipment, depreciation on right-of-use assets and amortization on intangible assets.
Other expenses. Other expenses primarily consist of distribution cost (i.e., costs incurred on outward freight,
transportation charges and costs of packing materials in relation to the delivery of products to our customers),
legal and professional charges, travelling expenses, business promotion expenses and miscellaneous expenses.
Tax expense
Tax expense consists of current tax and deferred tax. Current tax includes current tax on profits for the year and
adjustments for current tax of prior years. Deferred tax includes deferred tax expense (income).
The following table sets forth the selected financial data from our Restated Consolidated Financial Statements for
the Financial Years 2021, 2022 and 2023, the components of which are also expressed as a percentage of total

Income
Total income. Total income increased by 30.84% to ₹33,057.21 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹25,265.48
million in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in revenue from operations.
Revenue from operations. Revenue from operations increased by 30.85% to ₹33,002.07 million in Financial Year
2023 from ₹25,220.65 million in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in sale of traded goods to
₹32,931.43 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹25,152.67 million in Financial Year 2022.
The increase in sale of traded goods was primarily on account of an increase in sales volumes of healthcare
products through our platform. During Financial Year 2023, we handled over 64,500 SKUs through our platform,
as compared to over 56,500 SKUs handled during Financial Year 2022. We also increased our number of
customers serviced during Financial Year 2023. During Financial Year 2023, we serviced over 81,400 retail
customers and over 3,400 hospital customers, as compared with over 64,200 retail customers and over 2,500
hospital customers during Financial Year 2022. Further, we increased our district coverage to 495 districts covered
during Financial Year 2023, compared to 463 districts covered in Financial Year 2022. These increases were as a
result of the organic growth in our business and also inorganic growth (contributed by entities acquired during
Financial Year 2023 and the full year impact of entities acquired during Financial Year 2022). We acquired three
entities in Financial Year 2023 and eight entities in Financial Year 2022. Further, the increase in sale of traded
goods was also on account of an overall increase in the price of various healthcare products that we sell to our
customers. The price increases were as a result of industry-wide price increases by healthcare product
manufacturers during the year.
Other income. Other income increased by 23.00% to ₹55.14 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹44.83 million
in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest income on fixed deposits designated as amortized
cost to ₹33.99 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹28.52 million in Financial Year 2022, and an increase in
interest on unwinding of security deposits to ₹4.71 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹3.83 million in Financial
Year 2022.
Expenses
413
Total expenses. Total expenses increased by 29.97% to ₹33,094.09 million in Financial Year 2023 from
₹25,463.59 million in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in purchase of stock-in-trade, employee
benefits expense, finance costs, depreciation and amortization expense and other expenses. Our purchase of stock-
in-trade as a percentage of total income decreased to 92.30% in Financial Year 2023 from 92.71% in Financial
Year 2022, and our distribution cost as a percentage of total income decreased to 0.63% in Financial Year 2023
from 0.70% in Financial Year 2022.
The increase in purchases of stock-in-trade was also on account of an overall increase in procurement cost of our
products from suppliers from Financial Year 2022 to Financial Year 2023, driven by the increase in pricing of
various healthcare products during the year.
Changes in inventories of stock-in-trade. The change in inventories of stock-in-trade was ₹(193.95) million in
Financial Year 2023. We had inventories aggregating to ₹3,101.64 million at the beginning of Financial Year
2023, inventories aggregating to ₹3,416.28 million at the end of Financial Year 2023 and inventories as at the date
of acquisition of subsidiary / business aggregating to ₹120.69 million for Financial Year 2023. During the
Financial Year 2022 we recognized provision for inventory amounting to ₹116.59 million. This inventory
comprised sanitizers, personal protective equipment kits, face masks and infrared thermometers that we had
procured in anticipation of demand for such inventory due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the adverse
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic gradually reduced, we recognized these provisions.
Employee benefits expense. Employee benefits expense increased by 11.61% to ₹1,281.40 million in Financial
Year 2023 from ₹1,148.06 million in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages, bonus
and other allowance to ₹1,160.00 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹1,043.41 million in Financial Year 2022.
These increases were mainly attributable to our acquisition of employees of the entities that we acquired during
Financial Year 2023, the full year impact of employee related costs of the entities acquired during Financial Year
2022, and salary increments in Financial Year 2023. Our total employees increased to 3,041 as of March 31, 2023
from 2,875 as of March 31, 2022.
Finance costs. Finance costs increased by 69.00% to ₹489.72 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹289.78 million
in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in interest expenses on bank loan to ₹376.98 million in
Financial Year 2023 from ₹197.05 million in Financial Year 2022 and an increase in processing charges to ₹22.88
million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹9.95 million in Financial Year 2022. The increase in interest expenses on
bank loan was mainly on account of (i) the impact of full year interest cost on term loans availed in the last quarter
of Financial Year 2022 and new term loans availed in Financial Year 2023, (ii) an increase in borrowings due to
drawdowns made on our credit facilities to finance our working capital requirements, and (iii) an increase in
effective interest rates on our borrowings to 12.18% in Financial Year 2023 from 9.75% in Financial Year 2022.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 22.69% to ₹242.37
million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹197.54 million for the Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in
depreciation on right-of-use assets to ₹146.31 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹120.33 million in Financial
Year 2022 and an increase in depreciation on property, plant and equipment to ₹89.52 million in Financial Year
2023 from ₹72.00 million in Financial Year 2022. The increase in depreciation on right-of-use assets and
depreciation on property, plant and equipment was mainly on account of the full year impact of entities acquired
during Financial Year 2022, and the entities that we acquired during Financial Year 2023.
Other expenses. Other expenses increased by 8.26% to ₹761.95 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹703.84
million in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to increases in distribution cost by 16.51% to ₹206.97 million in
Financial Year 2023 from ₹177.64 million in Financial Year 2022, and commission and brokerage expenses by
108.01% to ₹23.90 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹11.49 million in Financial Year 2022. Distribution cost
and commission and brokerage expenses are variable expenses, and have increased mainly on account of an
increase in the scale of our business in line with an increase in revenue from operations. The increase in other
expenses was also on account of an increase in office expenses, distribution cost and legal and professional charges
incurred during the year, primarily due to expenses incurred during the year from the acquisitions of new entities.
414
The increase in other expenses was also on account of a general increase in other non-recurring expenses towards
one-time transactions during the year.
Other expenses as a percentage of revenue from operations decreased to 2.31% in Financial Year 2023 from 2.79%
in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an improvement in our cost efficiency in Financial Year 2023 as we
derived benefits of economies of scale.
Total tax expenses. Our total tax expenses decreased to ₹74.16 million in Financial Year 2023 from ₹96.28 million
in Financial Year 2022, primarily due to an increase in deferred tax income to ₹25.49 million in Financial Year
2023 from ₹2.36 million in Financial Year 2022. The increase in deferred tax income was partially offset by an
increase in our current tax on profits for the year, which increased to ₹99.65 million for Financial Year 2023, as
compared with ₹98.64 million for Financial Year 2022, due to higher taxable profits during Financial Year 2023.
Restated loss for the year. As a result of the foregoing, we reported a restated loss of ₹111.04 million for Financial
Year 2023 as compared to a restated loss of ₹294.39 million for Financial Year 2022.
Income
Total income. Total income increased by 41.65% to ₹25,265.48 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹17,836.68
million in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in revenue from operations.
Revenue from operations. Revenue from operations increased by 41.71% to ₹25,220.65 million in Financial Year
2022 from ₹17,797.37 million in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in sale of traded goods to
₹25,152.67 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹17,731.04 million in Financial Year 2021.
The increase in sale of traded goods was primarily on account of an increase in sales volumes of healthcare
products through our platform. During Financial Year 2022, we handled over 56,500 SKUs through our platform,
as compared to over 44,400 SKUs handled during Financial Year 2021. We also increased the number of retail
customers serviced during Financial Year 2022. During Financial Year 2022, we serviced over 64,200 retail
customers and over 2,500 hospital customers, as compared with over 39,500 retail customers and over 1,600
hospital customers during Financial Year 2021. Further, we increased our district coverage to 463 districts covered
during Financial Year 2022, compared to 420 districts covered in Financial Year 2021. These increases were as a
result of the organic growth in our business and also inorganic growth (contributed by entities acquired during
Financial Year 2022 and the full year impact of entities acquired during Financial Year 2021). We acquired eight
entities in Financial Year 2022 and three entities in Financial Year 2021. Further, the increase in sale of traded
goods was also on account of an overall increase in the price of various healthcare products that we sell to our
customers. The price increases were as a result of industry-wide price increases by healthcare product
manufacturers during the year.
Other income. Other income increased by 14.04% to ₹44.83 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹39.31 million
in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in interest income on fixed deposits designated as amortized
cost to ₹28.52 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹22.24 million in Financial Year 2021 and an increase in
miscellaneous income to ₹8.86 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹6.05 million in Financial Year 2021.
Expenses
Total expenses. Total expenses increased by 41.90% to ₹25,463.59 million in Financial Year 2022 from
₹17,945.06 million in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in purchase of stock-in-trade, employee
benefits expense, finance costs, depreciation and amortization expense and other expenses. Our purchase of stock-
in-trade as a percentage of total income decreased to 92.71% in Financial Year 2022 from 94.48% in Financial
Year 2021, and our distribution cost as a percentage of total income increased to 0.70% in Financial Year 2022
from 0.64% in Financial Year 2021.
415
The increase in purchases of stock-in-trade was also on account of an overall increase in procurement cost of our
products from suppliers from Financial Year 2021 to Financial Year 2022, driven by the increase in pricing of
various healthcare products.
Changes in inventories of stock-in-trade. The change in inventories of stock-in-trade was ₹(300.34) million in
Financial Year 2022. We had inventories aggregating to ₹2,439.26 million at the beginning of Financial Year
2022, inventories aggregating to ₹3,101.64 million at the end of Financial Year 2021 and inventories as at the date
of acquisition of subsidiary / business aggregating to ₹362.04 million for Financial Year 2022. During the
Financial Year 2022 and 2021, we recognized provision for inventory amounting to ₹116.59 million and ₹301.48
million, respectively. This inventory comprised sanitizers, personal protective equipment kits, face masks and
infrared thermometers that we had procured in anticipation of demand for such inventory due to the COVID-19
pandemic. However, as the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic gradually reduced, we recognized these
provision.
Employee benefits expense. Employee benefits expense increased by 51.18% to ₹1,148.06 million in Financial
Year 2022 from ₹759.42 million in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages, bonus
and other allowance to ₹1,043.41 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹689.35 million in Financial Year 2021,
and an increase in contribution to provident fund and other funds to ₹51.53 million in Financial Year 2022 from
₹37.20 million in Financial Year 2021. These increases were mainly attributable to our acquisition of employees
of the entities that we acquired during Financial Year 2022, the full year impact of employee related costs of the
entities acquired during Financial Year 2021, and salary increments in Financial Year 2022. Our total employees
increased to 2,875 as of March 31, 2022 from 2,141 as of March 31, 2021.
Finance costs. Finance costs increased by 44.62% to ₹289.78 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹200.38 million
in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in interest expenses on bank loan to ₹197.05 million in
Financial Year 2022 from ₹104.04 million in Financial Year 2021, mainly on account of (i) new term loans availed
in Financial Year 2022, and (ii) an increase in borrowings due to drawdowns made on our credit facilities to
finance our working capital requirements.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 21.37% to ₹197.54
million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹162.76 million for the Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in
depreciation on right-of-use assets to ₹120.33 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹100.36 million in Financial
Year 2021 and an increase in depreciation on property, plant and equipment to ₹72.00 million in Financial Year
2022 from ₹60.53 million in Financial Year 2021. The increase in depreciation on right-of-use assets depreciation
on property, plant and equipment was mainly on account of the full year impact of entities acquired during
Financial Year 2021, and the entities that we acquired during Financial Year 2022.
Other expenses. Other expenses increased by 59.56% to ₹703.84 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹441.10
million in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to increases in distribution cost by 55.17% to ₹177.64 million in
Financial Year 2022 from ₹114.48 million in Financial Year 2021, business promotion expenses by 300.34% to
₹70.98 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹17.73 million in Financial Year 2021, and provision for impairment
loss by 344.84% to ₹62.50 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹14.05 million in Financial Year 2021. The
increase in distribution cost was mainly on account of an increase in scale of our business in line with an increase
in revenue from operations. The increase in business promotion expenses was mainly on account of an increase
in business promotional spendings for our third party marketing services and ancillary private label business. The
increase in provision for impairment loss was mainly on account of an increase in provisions for expected credit
losses due to the slow recovery of our trade receivable during the year. The increase in other expenses was also
on account of an increase in distribution cost, miscellaneous expenses and travelling expenses during the year,
primarily due to expenses incurred during the year from acquisitions of new entities. The increase in other
expenses was also on account of a general increase in other non-recurring expenses towards one-time transactions
during the year.
Total Tax expenses. Our total tax expenses increased to ₹96.28 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹45.16 million
in Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an increase in current tax to ₹98.64 million in Financial Year 2022 from
₹46.84 million in Financial Year 2021. The increase in current tax was mainly on account of an increase in current
tax on profits for the year to ₹98.43 million in Financial Year 2022 from ₹45.59 million in Financial Year 2021.
Restated loss for the year. As a result of the foregoing, we reported a restated loss of ₹294.39 million for Financial
Year 2022 as compared to a restated loss of ₹153.54 million for Financial Year 2021.

Net Working Capital Days
Our net working capital days, which is calculated by Net Working Capital (calculated as Current Asset (excluding
cash/bank or cash equivalents) reduced by Current liabilities (excluding Short term borrowings)) represented in
days sales (grossed up for taxes) during the period, decreased to 63 for the Financial Year 2023 from 69 for the
Financial Year 2022 and 74 for the Financial Year 2021, primarily due to an improvement in our inventory
management during these periods.
Our primary source of liquidity is cash generated from operations and proceeds from borrowings. As of March
31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of ₹253.62 million and bank balances other than cash and cash
equivalents of ₹814.82 million.
Our funding requirements are primarily for working capital, investments in our business and strategic acquisitions.
For details, see “Objects of the Offer” on page 127. We expect that cash generated from operations, debt
borrowings and the Net Proceeds from the Offer will continue to be our principal source of funds in the short to
medium term. We evaluate our funding requirements periodically in light of our net cash flow from operating
activities, the requirements of our business and operations, acquisition opportunities and market conditions.

The following table sets forth our contingent liabilities and commitments as of March 31, 2023:
We believe that the presentation of certain non-GAAP measures provides useful information to prospective
investors regarding the performance and trends related to our results of operations. Accordingly, we believe that
when non-GAAP financial information is viewed with Ind AS financial information, prospective investors are
provided with a more meaningful understanding of our ongoing operating performance and financial results.
However, these financial measures are not measures determined based on Ind AS, IFRS or any other
internationally accepted accounting principles, and prospective investors should not consider such items as an
alternative to the historical financial results or other indicators of our cash flow based on Ind AS. The non-GAAP
financial measures included herein, may not be directly comparable with metrics bearing similar names as
presented by other entities due to differences in the way such non-GAAP financial measures are calculated.
EBITDA is a supplemental measure of performance that is not required by, nor presented in accordance with, Ind
AS or IFRS. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance or liquidity under Ind AS, IFRS or any other
internationally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with Ind AS, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating
activities as a measure of liquidity. In addition, EBITDA is not a standardized term, hence, a direct comparison
between companies using this term may not be possible. EBITDA is presented because we believe that it is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies.
The following tables present the reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to profit for the year:

Adjusted EBITDA (VIII=V+VI+VII) 527.05 510.51 745.38
Notes:
a) Our management is gradually scaling down on our generic medicine business branded under “Curever”, due to significant
external competition and pricing pressure. Further, as our generic medicine business is not expected to contribute significantly
to our financial results going forward, the EBITDA of the Curever business for the respective years has been adjusted for the
purposes of calculating our Adjusted EBITDA.
419
b) During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, we procured a significant amount of inventory of sanitizers,
personal protective equipment kits, masks and infrared thermometers in anticipation of more waves of COVID-19 and
emergencies thereafter. However, as the impact of COVID-19 subsided from late 2022 onwards, the demand for these
inventories also reduced. As a result, these have been brought down to their new realisable values and presented as adjustments
to our EBITDA, as we are gradually phasing out trading of these products.
Pro forma adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP financial measures that are
calculated as the sum of the adjusted EBITDA of our Company (“Entero Group”) and the impact of the
acquisitions of the trading of pharma products businesses of RS Enterprises (Bangalore) Private Limited (“RS
Enterprises”) and Dhanvanthri Speciality Pharma Private Limited (“Dhanvantri”). For details, see “Pro Forma
Financial Information” beginning on page 375.
The table below sets forth the summary of Pro forma adjusted EBITDA and Pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin
for the year ended March 31, 2023:
Notes:
a) Our management is gradually scaling down on our generic medicine business branded under “Curever”, due to significant
external competition and pricing pressure. Further, as our generic medicine business is not expected to contribute significantly
to our financial results going forward, the EBITDA of the Curever business for the respective years has been adjusted for the
purposes of calculating our Adjusted EBITDA.
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, derivative instruments, swap transactions or relationships
with affiliates or other unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships that would have been established for the
purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.
We have engaged in the past, and may engage in the future, in transactions with related parties. For details of our
related party transactions, see “Other Financial Information — Related Party Transactions” on page 392.
420
We are exposed to various types of risks during the ordinary course of business. The risks we are exposed to
include credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to us if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations, and which arises principally from our trade and other receivables. We are exposed to
credit risk from the carrying amounts of financial assets. We monitor our exposure to credit risk on an ongoing
basis through credit approvals, establishing credit limits and monitoring the creditworthiness of the customers
which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that we will encounter difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with our financial
liabilities that are settled by paying cash or another financial asset. Our approach to managing liquidity is to ensure,
as far as possible, that we will have sufficient liquidity to meet our liabilities when they are due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking any damage to our reputation. Our
management oversees and monitors rolling forecasts of our liquidity position and cash and cash equivalents based
on expected cash flows.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates, will affect
our income or value of our holdings of financial instrument.
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign
exchange rates. Our exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates is not material because we derive
substantially all of our revenue domestically in India, and therefore most of our transactions are denominated in
Indian Rupees.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because
of changes in market interest rates. As at March 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, our variable rate
borrowings (excluding current maturities of long term borrowings) amounted to ₹1,408.53 million, ₹2,840.92
million and ₹3,322.05 million, respectively.
Except as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, to our knowledge, there have been no unusual or
infrequent events or transactions that have in the past or may in the future affect our business operations or future
financial performance.
Our business has been subject, and we expect it to continue to be subject, to significant economic changes arising
from the trends identified above in “— Significant Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations” and the
uncertainties described in “Risk Factors”, beginning on pages 396 and 38, respectively. Except as disclosed in
this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, there are no known trends or uncertainties that have or had or are expected to
have a material adverse impact on revenues or income of our Company from continuing operations.
We do not depend on a limited number of suppliers or customers for our revenues and operations.
421
New Products or Business Segments
Except as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, including as described in “Our Business” beginning on
page 189, there are no new products or business segments that have or are expected to have a material impact on
our business prospects, results of operations or financial condition.
Seasonality
Competitive conditions
Although the Indian pharmaceutical distribution market remains very fragmented with traditional local
distributors dominating the market with a market share of 90% to 92% (Source: CRISIL Report), the development
of the industry could present a highly competitive global environment with strong competition from other
distributors, service merchandisers, self-warehousing chain drug stores, manufacturers engaged in direct
distribution and third-party logistics companies. For further details, see “Risk Factors — Internal Risk Factors
— We might be adversely impacted by competition and industry consolidation.” on page 43.
Other than as described in “Risk Factors”, “Our Business” and above in “ — Significant Factors Affecting our
Results of Operations” beginning on pages 38, 189 and 396, respectively, to our knowledge, there are no known
factors that may adversely affect our business prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
Except as set out in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus, to our knowledge, no circumstances have arisen since the
date of the last financial statements as disclosed in this Draft Red Herring Prospectus which materially or adversely
affect or are likely to affect, our operations or profitability, or the value of our assets or our ability to pay our
material liabilities within the next 12 months.

SEBI has issued the UPI Circulars in relation to streamlining the process of public issue of inter alia, equity shares.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, the UPI Mechanism has been introduced in a phased manner as a payment
mechanism (in addition to mechanism of blocking funds in the account maintained with SCSBs under ASBA) for
applications by RIBs (and subsequently, all UPI Bidders) through Designated Intermediaries with the objective
to reduce the time duration from public issue closure to listing from six Working Days to up to three Working
Days. Considering the time required for making necessary changes to the systems and to ensure complete and
smooth transition to the UPI payment mechanism, the UPI Circulars have introduced the UPI Mechanism in three
phases in the following manner:
Phase I: This phase was applicable from January 1, 2019 until March 31, 2019 or floating of five main board
public issues, whichever was later. Subsequently, the timeline for implementation of Phase I was extended till
June 30, 2019. Under this phase, a RIB had the option to submit the ASBA Form with any of the Designated
Intermediary and use his/ her UPI ID for the purpose of blocking of funds. The time duration from public issue
closure to listing continued to be six Working Days.
Phase II: This phase has become applicable from July 1, 2019. SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DCR2/CIR/P/2019/133 dated November 8, 2019 had decided to extend the timeline for
implementation of UPI Phase II until March 31, 2020. Subsequently, SEBI vide its circular no.
SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL2/CIR/P/2020/50 dated March 30, 2020 extended the timeline for implementation of UPI
Phase II till further notice. Under this phase, submission of the ASBA Form by RIBs through Designated
Intermediaries (other than SCSBs) to SCSBs for blocking of funds has been discontinued and replaced by the UPI
Mechanism. However, the time duration from public issue closure to listing continued to be six Working Days
during this phase.
Phase III: SEBI vide press release bearing number 12/2023 announced approval of proposal for reducing the time
period for listing of shares in public issue from existing six working days to three working days and pursuant to
SEBI circular bearing number SEBI/HO/CFD/TPD1/CIR/P/2023/140 dated August 9, 2023 ("T+3 Notification”),
this phase has become applicable on a voluntary basis for all issues opening on or after September 1, 2023 and on
a mandatory basis for all issues opening on or after December 1, 2023. In this phase, the time duration from public
issue closure to listing has been reduced to three Working Days. The Offer will be made under UPI Phase III as
notified in the T+3 Notification, subject to any circulars, clarification or notification issued by the SEBI from time
to time, including any circular, clarification or notification which may be issued by SEBI.
Pursuant to the UPI Circulars, SEBI has set out specific requirements for redressal of investor grievances for
applications that have been made through the UPI Mechanism. The requirements of the UPI Circulars include
appointment of a nodal officer by the SCSB and submission of their details to SEBI, the requirement for SCSBs
to send SMS alerts for the blocking and unblocking of UPI mandates, the requirement for the Registrar to submit
details of cancelled, withdrawn or deleted applications, and the requirement for the bank accounts of unsuccessful
Bidders to be unblocked no later than one day from the date on which the Basis of Allotment is finalised. Failure
to unblock the accounts within the timeline would result in the SCSBs being penalised under the relevant securities
law.
Additionally, if there is any delay in the redressal of investors’ complaints, the relevant SCSB as well as the
BRLM responsible for post-offer activities will be required to compensate the concerned investor.
All SCSBs offering facility of making application in public issues shall also provide facility to make application
using UPI. The issuers will be required to appoint one of the SCSBs as a sponsor bank(s) to act as conduits
between the Stock Exchanges and NPCI in order to facilitate collection of requests and /or payment instructions

RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF INDIAN SECURITIES
Foreign investment in Indian securities is regulated through the Industrial Policy, 1991 of the Government of India
and FEMA. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign
investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which
such investment may be made. Foreign investment is permitted (except in the prohibited sectors) in Indian
companies, either through the automatic route or the approval route, depending upon the sector in which foreign
investment is sought to be made. The Government of India makes policy announcements on FDI through press
notes and press releases. The regulatory framework, over a period of time, thus, consists of acts, regulations, press
notes, press releases, and clarifications among other amendments. The consolidated FDI policy circular of 2020
dated October 15, 2020 issued by the DPIIT (formerly Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion) (“FDI
Circular”) consolidates the policy framework which was in force as on October 15, 2020. Further, the FDI
Circular consolidates and subsumes all the press notes, press releases, and clarifications on FDI issued by DPIIT.
The FDI Circular will be valid until the DPIIT issues an updated circular and shall be subject to FEMA Non-debt
Instruments Rules.
As per the FDI Circular read with Press Note, 100% foreign direct investment is permitted under the automatic
route for wholesale trading. In terms of Press Note 3 of 2020, dated April 17, 2020 (“Press Note”), issued by the
DPIIT, the FDI Circular has been amended to state that all investments under the foreign direct investment route
by entities of a country which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into
India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country will require prior approval of the Government of India.
Further, in the event of transfer of ownership of any existing or future foreign direct investment in an entity in
India, directly or indirectly, resulting in the beneficial ownership falling within the aforesaid restriction/ purview,
such subsequent change in the beneficial ownership will also require approval of the Government of India.
Furthermore, on April 22, 2020, the Ministry of Finance, Government of India has also made similar amendment
to the FEMA Non-debt Instruments Rules.
Transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the RBI,
provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the FDI Circular and
transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI Takeover Regulations; (ii) the non-resident shareholding is
within the sectoral limits under the FDI Circular; and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines
prescribed by the SEBI/RBI.
For details of the aggregate limit for investments by NRIs and FPIs in our Company, see “Offer Procedure – Bids
by Eligible NRIs” and “Offer Procedure – Bids by FPIs” on page 469.

any share shall be created upon the footing and condition that this Article will have full effect; and
(b) on all shares/debentures (not being fully paid shares) standing registered in the name of a single person, for all
monies presently payable by him or his estate to our Company. Unless otherwise agreed, the registration of
transfer of shares / debentures shall operate as a waiver of our Company’s lien, if any, on such shares / debentures.
Provided that the Board may at any time declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of
this Article.
Our Company’s lien, if any, on a share shall extend to all dividends payable and bonuses declared from time to
time in respect of such shares.

The fully paid up shares shall be free from all lien and in the case of partly paid up shares our Company’s lien
shall be restricted to moneys called or payable at a fixed time in respect of such shares.
Subject to the provisions of these Articles and other applicable provisions of the Act or any other applicable law
for the time being in force, the Board may (at its own absolute and uncontrolled discretion) decline or refuse by
giving reasons, whether in pursuance of any power of the Company under these Articles or otherwise, to register
or acknowledge any transfer of, or the transmission by operation of law of the right to, any securities or interest

which the instrument of transfer, or the intimation of such transmission, as the case may be, was delivered to the
Company. Provided that the registration of transfer of any securities shall not be refused on the ground of the

The Act shall be complied with in respect of the issue, reissue, renewal of share certificates and the format and

such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable, has been given to the
registered holder for the time being of the share or to the person entitled thereto by reason of his death

sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the shares
at the date of the sale.
In exercising its lien, the Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any share as the absolute
owner thereof and accordingly shall not (except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or unless required
by law) be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the part of any other
490
person, whether a creditor of the registered holder or otherwise. The Company’s lien shall prevail notwithstanding
that it has received notice of any such claim.
The provisions of the Articles relating to lien shall mutatis mutandis apply to any other securities, including
debentures, of the Company.
The Board may subject to the provisions of the Act and any other applicable law, from time to time, make such
call as it thinks fit upon the Members in respect of all moneys unpaid on the shares (whether on account of the
nominal value of the shares or by premium) and not by the conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed
times. Provided that no call shall exceed one-fourth of the nominal value of the share or be payable at less than

the death, lunacy, bankruptcy or insolvency of any Members, or by any lawful means other than by a transfer in
accordance with the Articles, may with the consent of the Board (which it shall not be under any obligation to
give), upon producing such evidence as the Board thinks sufficient, that he sustains the character in respect of
which he proposes to act under this Article, or of his title, elect to either be registered himself as holder of the
shares or elect to have some person nominated by him and approved by the Board, registered as such holder or to
make such transfer of the share as the deceased or insolvent Member could have made. If the person so becoming
entitled shall elect to be registered as holder of the share himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice
in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. Provided, nevertheless, if such person shall elect to have his
nominee registered, he shall testify that election by executing in favour of his nominee an instrument of transfer
in accordance with the provision herein contained and until he does so he shall not be freed from any liability in
respect of the shares. Further, all limitations, restrictions and provisions of these regulations relating to the right
to transfer and the registration of transfer of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as aforesaid
as if the death or insolvency of the Member had not occurred and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by
that Member.
TITLE TO SHARES OF DECEASED MEMBERS
The executors or administrators or the holders of a succession certificate issued in respect of the shares of a
deceased Member and not being one of several joint holders shall be the only person whom the Company shall
recognize as having any title to the shares registered in the name of such Members and in case of the death of one
or more of the joint holders of any registered share, the survivor or survivors shall be entitled to the title or interest
in such shares but nothing herein contained shall be taken to release the estate of a deceased joint holder from any
liability on shares held by him jointly with any other person. Provided nevertheless that in case the Directors, in
their absolute discretion think fit, it shall be lawful for the Directors to dispense with the production of a probate
or letters of administration or a succession certificate or such other legal representation upon such terms (if any)
(as to indemnify or otherwise) as the Directors may consider necessary or desirable.
The provisions of the Articles, shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to the transfer of or the transmission by law of the
right to any securities including, debentures of the Company.
491
(a) name a further day (not being earlier than the expiry of fourteen days from the date of services of the notice) on
or before which the payment required by the notice is to be made; and
(b) state that, in the event of non-payment on or before the day so named, the shares in respect of which the call was
made shall be liable to be forfeited.
If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not complied with, any share in respect of which the notice
has been given may, at any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited
by a resolution of the Board to that effect.
When any share shall have been so forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be given to the defaulting Member and
any entry of the forfeiture with the date thereof, shall forthwith be made in the Register of Members but no
forfeiture shall be invalidated by any omission or neglect or any failure to give such notice or make such entry as
aforesaid.
EFFECT OF FORFEITURE
The forfeiture of a share shall involve extinction at the time of forfeiture, of all interest in and all claims and
demands against the Company, in respect of the share and all other rights incidental to the share, except only such
of those rights as by the Articles expressly saved.
VALIDITY OF SALES
Upon any sale after forfeiture or for enforcing a lien in exercise of the powers hereinabove given, the Board may,
if necessary, appoint some person to execute an instrument for transfer of the shares sold and cause the purchaser’s
name to be entered in the Register of Members in respect of the shares sold and after his name has been entered
in the Register of Members in respect of such shares the validity of the sale shall not be impeached by any person.
If a Member fails to pay any call, or installment of a call or any money due in respect of any share, on the day
appointed for payment thereof, the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as any part of the call or
installment remains unpaid or a judgment or decree in respect thereof remains unsatisfied in whole or in part,
serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of the call or installment or other money as is unpaid, together
with any interest which may have accrued and all expenses that may have been incurred by our Company by
reason of non-payment.

require as to the identity of the person signing the application, and the amount of the stamp duty on the warrant
and such fee as the Board may from time to time require having been paid, issue a warrant.

advantages as regards dividends, voting at meetings of the Company, and other matters, as if they held the shares
from which the stock arose; but no such privilege or advantage (except participation in the dividends and profits
of the Company and in the assets on winding up) shall be conferred by an amount of stock which would not, if
existing in shares, have conferred that privilege or advantage;
(d) such of the Articles of the Company as are applicable to paid-up shares shall apply to stock and the words “share”
and “shareholder”/”Member” shall include “stock” and “stock-holder” respectively.
