Kalyan Jewellers IPO

Kalyan Jewellers aims to raise around US$160m via a mix of selling new and existing shares in its Indian IPO. The company was established in 1993 and is backed by Warburg Pincus.

The company is one of the largest jewellery companies in India based on FY20 (year ending Mar 2020) revenue, as per the Technopak report. As of Dec 2020, it had 107 showrooms across 21 states and union territories in India. It also had 30 showrooms in the Middle East.

Earnings haven’t grown much over the past few years, as the company appears to have suffered from a strategic misstep. Over 9M21, revenue declined by 30.6% and the company suffered a loss.

Having said that, the industry remains highly fragmented with ample scope remaining for organised players, like Kalyan, to gain market share. We have looked at the background of the company in our previous note, Kalyan Jewellers Pre-IPO - Strategy missteps led to earnings flatlining.

In this note, we will run the deal through our ECM framework and talk about updates since our last note.
