Generally company also have Concall post results,this time there is no mention of concall.
Dark clouds of doubt now loom over the previous auditor D.N. Jhamb, who issued unqualified report in Sep-22, and resigned on 8-Dec-22 citing reasons of pre-occupation.
Now the bigger question is whether revenue recognised in earlier years are as per IndAS requirements or not?
More interestingly - In 4-Nov-20, just before there IPO, Anmol Bohra & Co also resigned as Auditor citing the same reason of pre-occupation.

FY21 1.90 Lakhs - D.N. Jhamb
FY22 7.22 Lakhs - D.N. Jhamb
Now Walker Chandiok - which comes with qualified report
The eye brow raising question is Whether it’s previous 4 year financial were relying on which stock has been on its dream run
IPO came at 40(adjusted split)

Now trading at 1097 ~ corrected by more than 65% from highs

Clarification from the company 's Investor Presentation. It mainly talks about the difference between the opinion of Auditor/Accounting Principles and Management over recognition of the revenue for the period 9M ended on 31st Dec -22
Question of accounting gimmick remain same
