SSKI report I have only heard of and read about but not seen-they believe there will be some consolidation in the' boring' moulded plastic chairs business.
Regarding competition from Pantaloon,Nilkamal may yet give them a run for their money if the talks with hypermarket chains for a tie-up ends in
an agreement.But really the market is simply so large ...
I remember reading a report on moneycontrol a few months back
about an interview of an SSKI analyst who believed that 2 players who are business-minded enough to make a success of their retail foray are Provogue and Nilkamal.
According to the India Today report I referred to initially even the competition acknowedges the success of the pricing of at home.Any one can confirm that with a showroom visit?I got a 15% discount coupon.Pretty cool for say a Rs30000 sofa set.By the way the latest at home showroom opened (this month)opposite one of the most happening malls in Bangalore FORUM-33000sq.feet,4 levels.
Breakeven of at home expected next year.
This,I believe is a slightly risky(would get a bit over-leveraged)possibly very highly rewarding investment.
Kotak and Sundaram mutual funds have entered this stock.
