Revenues for year ended March 2009 were INR1.47bn, Jain said. FY 09/10 revenues are estimated at INR1.75bn. Expansion plans will be finalized after the current financial year, at which point the company would be willing to hear from advisors and financial investors. It is very unlikely to sell a stake to a strategic player since it has the expertise required to run its operations, he said. The fund raised would be used to open more stores. At present, the company is not in a hurry to open too many because of the recent retail slump so it does not require funds immediately. It expects to fetch a better valuation once its revenues cross the INR2bn threshold, he said. The company is wholly owned by Jain and his family. It has 421 employees. Total debt as on March 2009 was INR200m. ING Vysya Bank was the debt provider, he added. It will raise the equity only if the present retail space shows signs of improvement and there is scope to increase annual revenues to around the INR 7bn level with the INR 500m raised. If it fails to get the right valuation it could consider debt but would prefer equity to avoid the burden of interest payments, he said. The company has no listing plans since its revenues are too small but it could consider that in the future, he said. Adishwar has 21 stores in Bangalore and one store each in Mysore, Mangalore and Belgaum. It plans to add four to six more stores by March 2010. Going forward it will explore other cities such as Chennai, Goa, Hyderabad and Pune. All of its stores have been profitable since the first year of operations, he said. This news service reported in April 2008 that Adishwar India might consider private equity bids of over US$25m within 2 years. Jain said that the company had changed its plans due to the recent economic slowdown.
