The Rs 1,335-crore initial public offering (IPO) was overall subscribed 17.41 times during its share sale between December 7 to December 9. Brokerage firms highlighted that the company is highly dependent on the Tourism and Hospitality industry for its revenues and the industry is expected to grow at a positive CAGR in the upcoming years. However, the area will continue to face some headwinds in the near term due to the impact of Covid-19, analysts said.
“The company serves a large and rapidly growing total addressable market. Third party travel and hospitality technology is estimated to be a $591 crore market in 2021, growing to an estimated $1,147 crore in 2025 at a CAGR of 18%,” Kotak Securities said in an IPO note.
