Why should you invest in Macfos Ltd. IPO

E-commerce is a growing industry in India and its reach is spreading fast into tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Given the three-pronged increase of digitisation of commerce and payments, increasing income and preference to buy standardised products from online platforms, it is great to buy stocks of an e-commerce company
A lot of e-commerce companies get too confused regarding what exactly it is trying to sell. Unlike such companies, Macfos is trying to build a niche for itself in a particular segment.
Since e-commerce can always be a global business, the scope for growth of the company is immense.
Increase in market cap of the company will allow it to raise more capital and cash, allowing an India-based e-commerce platform to grow. This in turn will allow Indian manufacturers to get better prices in both the Indian and global markets.

Know before investing

Strengths

Extensive and diverse portfolio of electronic equipment.
Growing retail and business customers.
Experienced promoters with domain knowledge.

Risks

The company is dependent on external vendors for sourcing their product requirements which exposes it to risks that are beyond its direct influence. They are also dependent on third party data centres for hosting facilities and other service providers.
The markets for hi-tech products like robots and drones change quite fast and the company may not be able to keep up with the pace of change.
Their revenues depend upon increasing the number of consumers of the products that they sell - this is something that is not easy to influence, especially in the case of niche electronic equipment.
