Meesho IPO Business Breakdown/Valuation Post (1)

➡️ Meesho's IPO has seen significant demand and enough Anchor allocation-related drama, so I decided to break down the business and make an informed call on whether the hype for allotment is really worth it.

Detailed Biz Thread & Valuation below.

#MeeshoIPO #meesho #IPOAlert #IPOListing

@rohiitian @manishlalwani9 @sachprat07 @shivrockstarImage Meesho's Origin (2)

➡️ Meesho started in 2015 as a social commerce platform, where it leveraged WhatsApp as a medium to facilitate e-commerce.

➡️ The initial thesis was to leverage local people's network in tier 2 & below cities as a means of customer acquisition and facilitating commerce via them

➡️ A lot of startups, such as Dealshare, City Mall, started on similar lines but failed due to scalability, standardisation & lack of customer experience control

➡️ Meesho emerged but pivoted towards a proper marketplace on the lines of Flipkart, Amazon & Snapdeal, focused purely on the tier 2 & below market, ignored by these big players due to poor unit economics & cost of acquiring these customers.

➡️ Today, Meesho is the largest e-commerce player in the Indian market in terms of annual orders placed & Transacting Users.

Smartwork Coworking Valuation Review

As Smartworks Coworking Spaces is listing tomorrow, sharing a detailed discounted cash flow valuation model & expected fair value to help with your listing strategy.

Detailed Thread below

@rohiitian
#SmartworksCoworking #smartworks #smartworksipo #smartworksallotment #IPOAlert #ipoallotment #IPOListing #IPOWatchImage About Smartworks (1)

Smartworks runs an asset-light, managed campus model— lease large bare-shell spaces and transform them into amenity-rich campuses & lease them further to enterprises.

Unlike Coworking companies, who has a similar model, they work primarily with large clients & manage or sublet large spaces (avoid leasing out to small teams or startups)

This ensure a high occupancy rate, low churn & long-term clients, unlike co-working companies who face high churn & low customer retention.

Smartworks averages an 83% occupancy rate & an 86% seat retention rate

The company is a leader in the managed office space with appro 10mn sq ft under operations.
