Earlier, Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi had given a clear ‘avoid’ call on the public offer. “There is one thing that is positive about the company but a lot of negatives,” he said.
Anil Singhvi pointed out that PKH Ventures has a weak set of financials, with a persistent decline in revenue. The company is barely profitable without its other income, and is facing an increase in debt, he said.
