How the issuer compares
The listed companies the offer document itself names as comparable.
| Company | EPS | P/E | NAV | RoNW |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manipal Payment and Identity Solutions Limitedthis issue | 11.53 | — | 48.84 | 22.93% |
| Seshaasai Technologies Limited | 15.45 | 24.97 | 88.15 | 16.81% |
Blank cells are figures the offer document does not publish. An unlisted issuer has no market price, so it has no price-based multiple until it lists — which is exactly why the comparison is against companies that already trade. The peer set is the issuer's own selection, so read it as the flattering-est comparison available rather than a neutral one.
