Live Events
Ahead of the IPO, Shanti Gold International raised Rs 108 crore from anchor investors, with allocations going to names such as Societe Generale, Wealthwave Capital Fund, Rajasthan Global Securities, Astorne Capital VCC Arven, Shine Star Build Cap, Meru Investment Fund, and others, according to a filing on the BSE.
About the company.
Shanti Gold International, a Mumbai-based manufacturer of 22kt CZ casting gold jewellery, operates primarily on a B2B model and caters to large retail chains including Joyalukkas, Lalithaa Jewellery Mart and Alukkas.
Its designs are sold across southern India, which currently contributes more than 70% of revenue. The firm plans to expand into North India with a new 1,200 kg manufacturing unit in Jaipur — a strategic move to enter the plain jewellery segment.

Company Financials and Valuations
The company has shown robust financial growth over the past few years. Revenue rose from Rs 679 crore in FY23 to Rs 1,106 crore in FY25, while net profit surged from Rs 19.8 crore to Rs 55.8 crore during the same period, reflecting a strong CAGR of 68%.
EBITDA margins have expanded steadily to 8.83%, and the return on equity (RoE) stood at a healthy 44.85% in FY25. The IPO values the company at a post-issue P/E of 19x, which is at a discount to the industry average of 23x. However, the price-to-book valuation at 7x appears slightly stretched compared to listed peers.
Should you subscribe to Shanti Gold IPO?
Brokerages have recommended subscribing to the issue, citing strong financials, margin expansion, and a clear strategy to diversify its product mix and regional footprint.
"The company's robust relationships with marquee jewellers, expanding design capabilities (over 400 designs/month), and controlled in-house manufacturing give it scale and brand trust in the B2B jewellery segment," said Canara Bank Securities.
While risks such as customer and regional concentration exist, the growth momentum and business fundamentals remain attractive.

‘A robust platform to empower young entrepreneurs': CM inaugurates CM YUVA Conclave

CHIEF MINISTER Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday inaugurated the CM YUVA Conclave and Expo-2025 in Lucknow. The CM YUVA Yojna has been launched under the Mukhyamantri Yuva Udyami Vikas Abhiyan. Adityanath said that over 68,000 youths have so far received interest-free and collateral-free loans amounting to Rs 2,751 crore under the scheme. The state government is offering 10 per cent margin money assistance to support budding entrepreneurs further. Highlighting the potential of Uttar Pradesh's youths, he said, 'CM YUVA Yojana is not just a financial aid programme, but a robust platform providing mentorship, market access and essential resources to empower young entrepreneurs.' He directed officials to ensure that at least 50 youngsters from each district visit the exhibition so they can gain firsthand knowledge about various government schemes, startup resources and market opportunities. He also inaugurated the exhibition and launched 'UP Mart', a portal for machinery suppliers, aimed at easing access to essential tools and equipment for startups. Also, 17 MoUs were signed in the CM's presence to boost entrepreneurship in the state. Underscoring the unique features of the scheme, Adityanath noted that it addresses the key challenges faced by aspiring entrepreneurs— lack of capital, training, and guidance. 'This is not just a scheme —it's a movement. A golden opportunity for every youth who has a dream but lacks resources,' he said. Addressing university Vice-Chancellors and youths at the CM YUVA Conclave, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed concern over the growing disconnect between academic institutions and society. 'Our institutions are becoming isolated islands, increasingly cut off from the people and government schemes. This disconnect is dangerous,' he said. He pointed out that due to lack of information, many young people fall prey to fraudulent schemes, get burdened by debt and are often left with no choice but to migrate in search of opportunities. 'But now, this cycle will end,' he asserted. The CM highlighted several initiatives launched to revive Uttar Pradesh's traditional industries, including handicrafts, cottage industries, and the MSME sector. 'Today, there is no licensing requirement for the first 1,000 days of starting a new enterprise in the state. We are also providing an insurance cover of ₹5 lakh to support young entrepreneurs,' he said. Reflecting on the 2017 Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra of the BJP, prepared under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister said that a commitment was made to promote traditional industries through a dedicated scheme. Acting on this, a statewide survey was conducted post-2017, which revealed that every district had unique traditional enterprises. However, due to corruption, lawlessness, and large-scale migration, these industries had nearly collapsed. The CM said that the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme has helped boost Uttar Pradesh's exports from Rs 86,000 crore to over Rs 2 lakh crore. 'Earlier, Chinese products flooded the markets during festivals. Today, locally made ODOP items are finding a place in every household,' he added. He also announced that products from Uttar Pradesh would be prominently featured at an International Trade Show scheduled from September 25 to 29, 2025, at the India Expo Centre in Noida. 'The Buyer-Seller Meet held at this event has become a massive platform for showcasing the state's potential. No one would have imagined such innovation and enterprise from UP just a few years ago. From four lakh participants in the first year to five lakh in the second, the show is pushing forward our vision of taking local products to the global stage,' he said.

Thin ecosystem & low visibility keep Telangana startups away from big funding

Hyderabad: Telangana may be known as a tech hub, but only 37 startups from the state have secured funding through the Fund of Funds for Startups (FFS) scheme under the Startup India initiative. These startups received a total of Rs 600 crore through Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs). This figure is significantly lower compared to top-performing states. Karnataka leads with 396 startups backed and Rs 7,348 crore in funding, followed by Maharashtra with Rs 5,606 crore and Delhi with Rs 3,689 crore. In all, 1,282 startups across India have received Rs 23,679 crore in funding through AIFs, according to data tabled in the Lok Sabha.

"It's not easy to get investments through the Fund of Funds scheme. There's limited transparency, clear bias towards certain cities, and we lack a robust startup ecosystem," he said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo He added that while Telangana has a fair number of startups, many don't meet quality benchmarks. "Even the top-tier startups tend to relocate to Bengaluru or other hubs in search of better ecosystems and visibility," he said. AIFs are pooled investment vehicles that draw funds from contributors and invest in unlisted companies, including startups. Investments are made in phases after a thorough evaluation and execution of agreements. Startup founders in Hyderabad echoed similar concerns. Saketha Pingali, founder of Smart Pharma, pointed to the time-consuming process and lack of visibility. "I don't apply for Startup India schemes because the process is long and uncertain. Unless the amount is substantial, it's not worth it," she said. "Even early-stage startups in Bengaluru get noticed because they're active online, with branding and regular updates. In Telangana, many strong startups go unnoticed due to a lack of visibility and investor presence." The data highlights the urgent need for strengthening Telangana's startup ecosystem if it wants to compete with the country's leading innovation hubs.
