Market Leader in B2B and B2B2C segment
Network effect and Technology is helping them to build strong entry barriers
Marquee customers across sectors
Higher dependence on cyclical automotive sector
MapmyIndia’s business is significantly dependent on automotive sector (52.5%
of revenue in FY21). Revenue from automotive sector is cyclical and periodic fluctuations
in overall demand for vehicles could result in fluctuations of demand for company’s
products and services.
Client concentration
As of FY21, top 25 customers represented 80% of revenues from operations any loss
of key customers or reduction in demand from these customers could adversely affect
the business. Also, if customers do not enter in to new high-growth segments, MapmyIndia
might not be able to capitalize on new growth opportunities.
liberalization may increase competitive intensity
The liberalization of the digital mapping industry may increase competitive intensity
and it can result in the loss of customers and market share. It can lead to pricing
pressures from other companies, including multinational companies for few or most
of its offerings. Such increase in competition can affect its long‐term profitability.
Entire issue is an OFS, the company will not get any proceeds from this IPO
Growth in revenue over last 3 years (FY19 to FY21) is meagre although gross margin
& EBITDA margin is quite impressive. In view of further liberalization &
benign regulatory environment in future competition is going to only increase which
imply top line growth will be a challenge.
