Shankesh Jewellers Limited IPO

Past issues are context, not a forecast — this issue is a different company at a different price. We show it because "how have issues like this one actually opened" is a question with a real answer, and grey-market premium is not that answer.

Shankesh Jewellers Limited is engaged in the business of hand-crafted gold jewellery and provides jewellery customisation and job work services. The company offers 22-karat and 18-karat gold jewellery, including bangles, bridal jewellery, chokers, jhumkas, necklace sets, mangalsutras, rings and combined jewellery sets. Its portfolio includes antique, semi-antique, Calcutta, temple, Gheru polish, and yellow, rhodium, and rose gold jewellery. The company follows an asset-light model and does not manufacture jewellery in-house. Production is outsourced to specialised karigars through third-party job workers, while the company manages designing, material sourcing, customisation and delivery of finished jewellery. Shankesh Jewellers operates from its office in Mumbai, Maharashtra, and supplies its products to corporate and non-corporate clients across India. Its customer network spans 21 states and four Union Territories. Use of proceeds: This is a combination of a fresh issue of shares and an offer for sale.
