Expert Opinions
Reliance Securities Ltd views the Indian ethnic wear industry as challenging to replicate due to high client demands and intricate inventory management. The company aims to enhance brand recall through various marketing initiatives, which is expected to provide it with a competitive advantage. They recommend subscribing to the issue.
Dilip Davda, contributing editor at Chittorgarh.com, suggests that Sai Silks Kalamandir has emerged as one of the top 10 retailers in ethnic wear, particularly sarees. While the issue appears fully priced based on FY23 earnings, well-informed investors may consider the IPO for medium to long-term rewards.
