The total size of the company's IPO was Rs 438.38 crore. The stock debuted on April 4, 2018, with a premium in the market at a discount at Rs 87 per share on the Indian market. Despite this subdued listing, it made significant wealth for the investors who showcased their faith in the company and held shares since the IPO.

Today, it completed its sixth-year listing journey and concluded the trading session at Rs 413.35 per share, representing a multibagger return of around 364 per cent compared to its final IPO issue price of Rs 89 per share.
