4.Payment Terms

corporate entities like Blue Dart, IBG Groups, Chandak Groups, SR Groups etc
7. Franchising
• The company is planning to grow its business through franchising. They plan to have 50+ franchisees by the end of FY25.
• Under this model, the company will tie up with local partners who have connections locally. The partner will bring in business through their connections and the company will execute the event.
• The management has said that they are franchising because it is important to
have a local presence in the city as people don’t prefer to give their wedding planning business to someone who lives in a different city. By having a local partner, it makes it easier for clients to reach them.
8. Industry
• The wedding management industry is a largely unorganized industry in India which is mainly run by local independent players.
• It is also a seasonal industry where the peak demand usually occurs from the month of November to April.
• The industry has largely proven to be recession proof. The company’s management has said that there wasn’t much of a slowdown in weddings during the 2008 financial crisis and during the Covid pandemic weddings began immediately after lockdown restrictions were eased.
9. Future Outlook
• The management has given a guidance of 50-60% revenue growth and 10-11% PAT margin in FY24.
• The company plans to do acquisitions in Delhi, Bangalore and Kolkata which will act as central hubs for providing services in North, South and
East regions of India. The Western region will be catered to from Mumbai where the company is currently based out of.
• The company is also planning to expand internationally. They will be opening their first international office in Dubai during the year followed
by the UK, US, Spain, Hong Kong and Singapore.
