To sell clothing, apparel and menswear you need not understand fast fashion. All you need to know is some important data and viola! You have cracked the code.
Recently I deep dived a small company which is a proxy play on e-commerce giant Myntra's growth and is designing, manufacturing and doing inventory for them.
Let's understand how Thomas Scott is using Myntra's raw data and scraping it out to ace the game of fast fashion. A long thread ahead 🧵
Thomas Scott is fairly old in the business of manufacturing and retailing menswear and it was demerged from Bang Overseas limited.
However things took an interesting turn when Vedant Bang, a 27 year old chap took the center stage and transformed Thomas Scott from a traditional apparel manufacturer into a vertically integrated tech enabled online fashion retailer.
A bit about Vendat Bang and his background before we go into the other details.
Vedant is a Chartered Accountant, a Fellow Actuary and a CFA Charterholder. At just 23, he was already a CA and an Actuary!
He is the second generation entrepreneur and has a knack for data. For the data enthusiast he is, he says that he does not understand fashion but completely understands data. I'll explain this in the post ahead of how Thomas Scott is making the most of the data.

Hello all. As we end the FY24 result season, with so many companies doing concalls, I am trying to compile the guidance given by them for next year(s) to help everyone understand the forward valuations of these companies and to see if the management walks the talk.
Do help me in this compilation by adding the companies you track in the comment 👇🏼
A long thread 🧵
1. Vasa Denticity (Dentalkart):
Guidance for FY25, Topline growth 70-75% and EBITDA margins may improve further from FY24 levels. Long term guidance of 800-1200cr topline by FY26.
2. Shree OSFM:
Guidance for FY25, Topline growth 35-40% without inorganic acquisition. With inorganic acquisition, 60%. Margins will sustain.
A thread on Shree OSFM 🧵 covering details via its investor presentation and also the concall highlights:

A microcap bearing company, with 30% plus EBITDA margins that is doing 4x capex in upcoming two years deserves to be studied.
In this thread I will try to deep dive 'SKP Bearing Industries Limited' to understand the triggers that lie ahead 🧵
First things first, the idea to study this business was generated by @PrathameshHirv3 . So, all due credits to him.
Let us discuss about the promoters. SKP was incorporated in 1991 as a partnership firm and in January 2022, it transformed into a Limited company.
Mr. Shrikand Kamlakar Palshikar and Mrs. Sangita Shrikand Palshikar lead the operations of SKP.
Shrikand sir has an experience of over 34 years. He holds a degree in Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Production Engineering from IIT Bombay.
Also, he has completed the Rolling Bearing Theory & Performance Course from SKF College of Engineering. He previously worked with SKF India too.
Last month I deep dived a microcap gem which is into fast moving artificial fashion jewellery and has a legacy of 190 years!
A long thread ahead 🧵
