IPO Details:

Objects of Issue:

• Augmentation of capital base to meet our future capital requirements.

Key Strengths:

• Focus on Niche Segments: Manba Finance has successfully established itself in the two-wheeler and used car loan markets, particularly in less-served regions. Its tailored financial products and deep understanding of local markets provide an edge over larger NBFCs and banks. The ability to offer vehicle loans quickly adds to its operational strength.
• Technology-Driven Approach: The company has adopted digital tools and systems over the years, enhancing efficiency in its lending processes. This has allowed for faster loan approvals and better customer experiences.
• Robust Distribution Network: The company has a solid presence across multiple states, supported by strong relationships with key automobile dealers. This well-developed network helps the company cater to a wider audience.

Risks:

• Geographical Concentration: A significant portion (87.8%) of Manba Finance’s loan book is concentrated in just two states. Any political or economic issues in these regions could have a major impact on the company’s performance.
• Regulatory Pressures: The NBFC sector has faced increasing scrutiny, with the government introducing tighter regulations. These regulatory changes could potentially affect the company's operations.
• Intense Competition: The vehicle financing market is highly competitive, with banks and other large NBFCs offering similar products. This increased competition may lead to challenge for the company attracting new customers and it could also pressure the profit margins.
