Risks Management Outlook

Key Risks:

  1. Geographic Concentration: 50% of FY26 revenue comes from only three states: West Bengal, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
  2. Import Dependence: Heavy reliance on China for 65% of procurement exposes the company to cross-border trade risks.
  3. Seasonality: 70–75% of annual revenue is generated in the second half of the fiscal year (Oct–Mar).
  4. Unsecured Loans: ₹1,353.27 lakhs in unsecured loans are repayable on demand.


Red Flags: Historical instances of negative cash flows, reliance on a single domestic manufacturing partner (Five Star Optical), and the use of unsecured loans that can be recalled at any time.


Growth Plans: Funding of working capital for new product launches, establishing company-operated Multi Brand Outlets (MBOs) in high-footfall locations (malls/airports), and launching technology-enabled eyewear in Q2 FY2027.


Government Intervention: Programs like "Make in India" and the National Logistics Policy are expected to support domestic supply chains and manufacturing competitiveness.


Industry Trends: Management views current trends as a structural shift where consumers increasingly perceive eyewear as a fashion accessory rather than just a medical necessity.
