The Bengaluru-based engineering contractor has set June 17–19 as its IPO window on the BSE SME platform, offering shares at ₹21–₹23 each.</div><div><br></div><div>The total raise is ₹88.51 crore. Of that, ₹79.60 crore comes from a fresh issue of 3.46 crore shares; the rest ₹8.91 crore is an offer for sale by existing shareholders. Promoters will hold just over 67% post-listing.</div><div><br></div><div>What the money is for</div><div><br></div><div>The bulk of the fresh issue proceeds have a clear destination. About ₹27 crore goes toward building a new assembly facility in Bengaluru's Yelenahalli area, and ₹36 crore will shore up working capital. The rest covers issue costs and general corporate use.</div><div><br></div><div>The factory isn't just about capacity, it's about reducing the company's reliance on outside vendors for panel assembly work, which has been a structural constraint as export orders grow.</div><div><br></div><div>Two decades of reinvention</div><div><br></div><div>Founded in 2005, Leapfrog began as an electrical engineering services provider and has evolved into a multidisciplinary engineering solutions company with expertise in electrical, instrumentation, automation and control systems. Over the last two decades, the Company has successfully delivered projects across India and international markets, including Kuwait, the United States, Germany, Nigeria and Canada, serving multinational corporations, public sector undertakings and global EPC contractors.</div><div>The Company's journey has been marked by continuous expansion, technological advancement and operational excellence. Key milestones include the execution of large-scale oil & gas projects, establishment of an assembly unit, implementation of ERP systems, entry into the automation domain, receipt of multiple export excellence awards, conversion into a public limited company, and obtaining UL 508A certification. These achievements have strengthened Leapfrog's position as a trusted engineering partner with a growing global footprint.</div><div><br></div><div>The numbers</div><div>FY25 revenue came in at ₹134.66 crore. EBITDA was ₹21.57 crore, a 16% margin, up sharply from the near-breakeven levels of FY23 when margins were barely touching 1%. PAT for the year was ₹16.22 crore.</div><div>The more recent data looks better still. For the nine months ended December 2025, EBITDA margins had climbed to nearly 20% and PAT margins crossed 14%. Whether that holds through a full year is the question, but the direction is clear.</div><div>Net worth has moved in a straight line upward from ₹5.32 crore in FY23 to ₹67.44 crore by December 2025. Debt-equity has come down from 2.45x in FY23 to 0.48x today, largely because the equity base was negligible back then rather than because the company was drowning in debt.</div><div>Order book tells the real story</div><div>The ₹384 crore order book as of March 2026 is the figure investors will likely anchor to. Exports make up ₹327 crore of that, most of it tied to ongoing and upcoming work in Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE.</div><div>The company has been working with Kuwait Oil Company clients for over 15 years, executing modular substation projects, SCADA systems, and electrical infrastructure across multiple oilfield facilities. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhowGehdPQyJyb1QAfjNiFQ2LUEs9froly44GDECwGQADFaaoNYhEM_4Xf4trHgmHq4QB3QQbmbZt-i5JTyJGvq7Vto8Ii9i4f6hkhp_wDQx7qZ92_3bQdHP6XZty0cMWhKA5W9kxtP8cpB3ZkgBJukbWymqhoXY-RQhxwPsYe5zJ_glYLqD9uSc9BS" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhowGehdPQyJyb1QAfjNiFQ2LUEs9froly44GDECwGQADFaaoNYhEM_4Xf4trHgmHq4QB3QQbmbZt-i5JTyJGvq7Vto8Ii9i4f6hkhp_wDQx7qZ92_3bQdHP6XZty0cMWhKA5W9kxtP8cpB3ZkgBJukbWymqhoXY-RQhxwPsYe5zJ_glYLqD9uSc9BS" width="400"> </a> </div></div><div>Managing Director Prabhav Narasimha Rao has been at the helm since the beginning. His three decades in project management spanning large engineering firms and multinationals are reflected in the Middle East relationships that now define the company's revenue profile.</div><div>CFO and Whole-Time Director Sapna Raghavendra oversees finances, while Kommanahalli Giridhar, a 42-year industry veteran, chairs the board as Non-Executive Director.</div><div>At the top of the price band, the post-issue market cap works out to roughly ₹326 crore. On FY25 earnings, that's about 14.6x P/E. As of December 2025 numbers (un-annualized), the P/E sits around 17.4x.</div><div>For a company of this size with export exposure, a visible order book, and improving margins, the pricing doesn't look stretched though the heavy concentration in Kuwait and the working capital intensity of EPCC contracts are risks worth reading carefully in the prospectus.</div><div>Finshore Management Services, Kolkata, is the Book Running Lead Manager. Integrated Registry Management Services, Bengaluru, is the registrar.</div><div>Investors should read the Red Herring Prospectus and assess all risk factors before making any investment decision.</div>

BenQ opens a category-defining experiential space at Mumbai’s Lamington Road

The company segments its entire portfolio by user type rather than specifications and sells through more than 5,000 retail points across India, making it the dominant force in the country’s monitor market. The new Lamington Road store showcases 8 purpose-built monitor categories, all under one roof, in a format that has never existed before in Indian retail for this category.</div><div><br></div><div>The store arrives at a moment when the gap in India’s large-format retail (LFR) is particularly stark. The dominant electronics chains have built their floor space around televisions - monitors, if present at all, are allocated a shelf or two at best, with most of the range invisible to the shopper. This is not a display problem alone. It reflects a structural reality - organised IT retail in India has never developed the kind of depth that the category requires. Every large electronics chain has dozens of TV models across every size and price point but the monitor aisle, by contrast, offers a handful of units, rarely representing more than a fraction of what brands actually make. For a high-consideration category where panel technology, colour accuracy and ergonomic design vary significantly across use cases, this absence of a dedicated experiential environment has long been a barrier to informed purchase decisions.</div><div>BenQ has felt this gap acutely and is now moving to close it directly. Rather than wait for the LFR format to evolve, the company is establishing its own branded experiential infrastructure, beginning with this Lamington Road store and with an intent to expand the model to other markets. The Lamington Road location is deliberate: it is where India’s IT-literate enthusiast community already congregates, making it the most relevant first address for a store built around product understanding rather than impulse purchase. BenQ is the only mainstream monitor brand globally that segments its portfolio not by screen size or refresh rate but by the type of user - designers, content creators, esports athletes, gamers, programmers, Mac users and home-office professionals. Each category is purpose-built with distinct panel technologies, colour profiles, aspect ratios and software features, making hands-on evaluation essential before purchase. The store puts all of that under one roof, giving the category the space and seriousness it has long been denied.</div><div><br></div><div>“India’s organised retail has never given the monitor category the space or the seriousness it deserves. In a typical large-format electronics store, IT products occupy a fraction of the floor, and within that, monitors are often reduced to two or three units on a shelf. That is simply not enough for a consumer to understand why a colour-accurate design monitor is different from a gaming panel, or why a programmer needs a 3:2 display. The category demands demonstration, and demonstration demands dedicated space,” said Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, BenQ India and South Asia. “We sell through thousands of retailers, but the live demonstration experience has always been missing. This store is our answer - and we believe it is also an industry first for the monitor category in India. By opening at Lamington Road, we are bringing the full BenQ range directly to the enthusiasts, professionals and gamers who need to see, touch and compare before they invest.”</div><div><br></div><div>Eight categories, purpose-built for every user</div><div>The store showcases BenQ's full monitor portfolio across eight purpose-built categories, each engineered for a distinct user segment:</div><div><br></div><div>· For Designers: Colour management displays featuring built-in calibrators, wide Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 coverage, and Pantone Validated accuracy - built for graphic designers, photographers and visual artists who demand precision out of the box.</div><div><br></div><div>· For Content Creators: Studio-grade monitors engineered for video editors and YouTubers, combining cinema-standard colour coverage with integrated 2.1-channel speaker systems and USB-C connectivity for seamless post-production workflows.|</div><div><br></div><div>· For Esports: Ultra-high-refresh-rate ZOWIE gaming monitors featuring BenQ's proprietary DyAc technology for best-in-class motion clarity – the same displays trusted at top-tier global FPS tournaments.</div><div><br></div><div>· For Pro Gaming: Large-format MOBIUZ gaming displays with QD-OLED and Mini LED panel technologies, delivering cinematic visuals, deep contrast and immersive audio for open-world and single-player enthusiasts.</div><div>· For Gaming: Versatile home entertainment monitors balancing high refresh rates, wide colour coverage and built-in speakers, designed for gamers who also stream, binge-watch and multitask.</div><div><br></div><div>· For Programmers: The world's first purpose-built coding monitors, featuring a 3:2 aspect ratio for 30% more vertical screen real estate, Nano Matte Panels, exclusive Coding Modes and MoonHalo backlighting.</div><div><br></div><div>· For Mac Users: Monitors purpose-built for the Apple ecosystem, with 5K resolution, Nano Gloss panels, Thunderbolt connectivity and native macOS colour-matching software – designed to deliver the same clarity, colour and experience as Apple's own displays.</div><div><br></div><div>· For Home & Office: Eye-care monitors with BenQ's Triple Protection technology – Visual Optimizer, Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free – engineered for professionals who spend long hours on documents, spreadsheets and video calls.</div><div>The Lamington Road store reflects BenQ's broader commitment to expanding its experiential retail footprint in India. As monitors have evolved from commodity screens into personal entertainment and productivity devices the need for dedicated retail environments has become pressing. BenQ's user-based segmentation, with monitors tuned differently for each segment, demands a space where these differences can be seen and felt, not just read about on a specifications sheet.</div>

(“Flash”) bringing its portfolio of T20 league commercial rights — including the LPL to the NASDAQ-listed platform UGRO (NASDAQ: UGRO). </div><div>The move marks a significant moment for IPG and the leagues it manages, positioning them within a publicly governed structure built for scale. Backed by this new institutional structure, IPG will invest USD 20 Million to carve out bigger and better version of LPL over next two years.   </div><div><br></div><div>For the LPL, the transition signals the start of a more structured and growth-driven phase. While the LPL remains, intellectual property owned by Sri Lanka Cricket, IPG continues to hold exclusive commercial and media rights — now backed by institutional capital, enhanced governance standards, and long-term expansion planning.</div><div><br></div><div>Anil Mohan, Founder & Chairman of IPG Global, said, “LPL will be the biggest beneficiary of this new development. The integration into a publicly governed structure strengthens our ability to scale the league responsibly. With enhanced transparency, capital access, and governance standards, we are positioned to grow franchise value while maintaining long-term commercial discipline.”</div><div><br></div><div>Other than LPL, the IPG Group has long term exclusive agreements to develop Malaysia and Zimbabwe T20 leagues. IPG and the investors has also outlined expansion plans into these new leagues, extending its footprint across these high-growth cricket markets.</div><div><br></div><div>The aim is to evolve standalone tournaments into an integrated, multi-market cricket enterprise spanning South Asia and other emerging territories.</div><div><br></div><div>Bradley Nattrass, Chief Executive Officer, Flash Sports & Media shares, “We believe this combination accelerates our ability to execute across multiple cricket economies simultaneously. With centralized commercial control and aligned franchise incentives, we intend to drive deeper sponsor integration, stronger broadcast partnerships, and greater fan engagement across markets. Our focus now is on operational execution, scaling the platform with speed and precision, and long-term shareholder value creation.”</div><div>Eric Sherb, Chief Financial Officer, Flash Sports & Media, added, “The public-market structure enables phased capital deployment into league infrastructure while maintaining strict ROI discipline. Our focus will be on strengthening long-term commercial development and building recurring revenue streams across the portfolio.”</div><div><br></div><div>The aim is to create combined platform for commercial monetization. The IPG has announced that the focus will be on long-term asset appreciation, centralizing sponsorship revenue across leagues, upgrading broadcast production to 4K standards, and creating predictable recurring revenue streams. </div><div><br></div><div>About IPG:</div><div>Innovative Production Group FZ, LLC (“IPG”), founded by Anil Mohan Sankhdhar, and now a subsidiary of Flash, is a global leader in sports marketing, event management, sponsorship rights, and production, with deep expertise in international cricket properties and sports media. As the rights holder for major cricket leagues, IPG has consistently delivered world-class sporting experiences, pioneering innovations in fan engagement, ground sponsorships, and league management. With its strong global footprint, the group continues to shape and elevate the sports and entertainment landscape.</div>

Findability Sciences has been building the AI infrastructure to make that possible: connecting field-level data, factory operations, and enterprise decision-making into one coherent intelligence layer. </div><div><br></div><div>People don't always realize this; sugar, ethanol, and bioenergy are the livelihood of millions of farming families, the fuel in our vehicles, and increasingly, the answer to energy security questions that governments are scrambling to solve. And yet, this industry is still making its most critical decisions the way it did thirty years ago, on experience, on whatever data someone managed to write down before the season ended. I've sat with mill managers who are brilliant at what they do but fly blind when it counts most. That's the gap we're here to close. Because when you get the intelligence layer right, it's not just a mill that runs better, it's a farmer who gets a fair price, a country that hits its ethanol targets, and an industry that finally has the tools to match its own potential." said Anand Mahurkar, Founder & CEO.  </div><div><br></div><div>The company's sugar and agri AI portfolio includes Stoma Sense, which delivers crop intelligence and field-level insights directly to farmers, and Stoma Insight, an analytics and decision support platform for agri-industrial stakeholders across the sugar value chain. Its on-ground footprint in the sector spans a partnership with Grupo Pantaleon to deploy next-generation AI for the sugar value chain; a collaboration with Agricultural Development Trust, Baramati, where AI adoption has drawn recognition for measurable impact; and the Jalna Super 50 AI Farmers Programme, run with the District Administration of Jalna and the Maharashtra Agriculture Department to bring AI-led decision support to sugarcane farmers.</div>
