Alpesh Thacker and Siddhartha Khemka, analysts at Centrum Wealth Research said, "In the past we have seen tremendous market interest in IPOs of companies with similar business model like TeamLease Services and Quess Corp."
The duo added, "These IPOs got significantly over-subscribed and the stocks are currently trading at high valuation (EV/EBITDA of 40x/52x FY17 and P/E of 97x/34x FY17, respectively). If the same happens with this issue despite growth being lower than peers, the listing could be at a premium to the offer price."
