PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND USE OF MARKET DATA
Financial Data
Unless stated otherwise, the financial information used in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus is derived from the
Company’s restated standalone and restated consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with Indian
GAAP and the Companies Act and in accordance with SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, included in this DRHP.
Our fiscal commences on April 1 and ends on March 31 of a particular year. Unless stated otherwise, references
herein to a fiscal (e.g., fiscal 2010), are to the fiscal ended March 31 of a particular year. In this DRHP, any
discrepancies in any table between the total and the sum of the amounts listed are due to rounding-off.
There are significant differences between Indian GAAP, International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
and U.S. GAAP. The Company has not attempted to quantify those differences or their impact on the financial
data included herein, and you should consult your own advisors regarding such differences and their impact on
our financial data. Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP restated summary statements (consolidated
or unconsolidated) included in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely
dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with Indian accounting practices, Indian GAAP, the Companies Act
and the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations. Any reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices, Indian
GAAP, the Companies Act and the SEBI (ICDR) Regulations on the financial disclosures presented in the Draft
Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited.
Unless otherwise specified or if the context otherwise requires, all references to “India” in the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus are to the Republic of India.
Currency of Presentation
All references to ‘Rupees’ or ‘Rs.’ or ‘`’’ are to Indian Rupees, the official currency of the Republic of India. All
numbers in this document have been prescribed in lakhs or in whole numbers where the numbers have been too
small to present in lakhs.
Unless stated otherwise, industry data used in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus has been obtained from industry
publications and report by 2S Consulting called “Hair & Beauty Salon Industry Report”. Industry publications
generally state that the information contained in those publications has been obtained from sources believed to be
reliable but that their accuracy and completeness are not guaranteed and their reliability cannot be assured.
Although the Company believes the industry data used in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus is reliable, it has not
been independently verified. Similarly, internal Company reports, while believed to be reliable, have not been
verified by any independent source.
Further, the extent to which the market data presented in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus is meaningful depends
on the reader’s familiarity with and understanding of the methodologies used in compiling such data. There are no
standard data gathering methodologies in the industry in which we conduct our business, and methodologies and
assumptions may vary widely among different industry sources.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have included statements in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus which contain words or phrases such as “will”,

“contemplate”, “seek to”, “future”, “objective”, “goal”, “project”, “should”, “will pursue” and similar expressions
or variations of such expressions, that are “forward-looking statements”.
All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations include, among others:
• General economic and business conditions in the markets in which we operate and in the local, regional
and national and international economies;
• The Company’s ability to successfully implement the growth strategy and expansion plans, and to
successfully launch and implement various projects and business plans for which funds are being raised
through the Issue;

• The effect of wage pressures and the time required to train and productively utilize new employees;

and interest rate policies of India and other countries, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in
interest rates, equity prices or other rates or prices;
For a further discussion on factors that could cause our actual results to differ, see the chapters titled “Risk
Factors” “Business Overview” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results
of Operations” beginning on pages 11, 89 and 175 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus respectively.
By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially different from what
actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual future gains or losses could materially differ from those that have
been estimated. Neither we nor the Book Running Lead Manager, nor any of its respective affiliates have any
obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or to
reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. In
accordance with SEBI requirements, we and the Book Running Lead Manager will ensure that investors in India
are informed of material developments until such time as the grant of listing and trading permission by the Stock
Exchanges.

4. Non-compliance and/or late compliance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act in relation
to loan to Tulip Films International, on behalf of Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter may attract penalties
payable by the Company.
The Company had granted loan aggregating to `18 lakhs during the FY 2007-08 to Tulip Films International, on
behalf of Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter, the director of the Company. For the said loan, the Company was required to
obtain approval of the Central Government. However, through inadvertence, the Company did not approach the
Central Government for approval. The same amounted to violation of Section 295 of the Companies Act. In view
of the same, the office of Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter became vacant but due to oversight, he remained as the director
of the Company. On realizing the non-compliance, vide its application dated October 14, 2010, the Company has
suo moto filed an application to ROC, requesting compounding of the offence. The said loan has been repaid by
Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter during the FY 2008-09.
There cannot be any assurance that ROC will grant approval(s) as requested and/or condone/compound the non-
compliances on the part of the Company as prayed for. The Company cannot envisage whether any penalty will be
levied and if so, what will be the amount of such penalty. The issuer company is awaiting the response from the
ROC.
5. Non-compliance and/or late compliance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act in relation
to approval of its Accounts and holding of AGM, may attract penalties payable by the Company.
Since the Accounts for the year 2008-2009 were not finalised, the Company could not adopt the same within the
time lines prescribed under Section 210 of the Companies Act. Consequently, the AGM of the Company was not
held within the prescribed time span as provided under Section 166 of the Companies Act. These non-compliances
amounted to offences under the provisions of the said Sections. The Company has subsequently, vide its
application dated October 14, 2010 has suo moto filed an application to ROC, requesting compounding of the
offence.
There cannot be any assurance that ROC will grant approval(s) as requested and/or condone/compound the non-
compliances on the part of the Company as prayed for. The Company cannot envisage whether any penalty will be
levied and if so, what will be the amount of such penalty. The issuer company is awaiting the response from the
ROC.

6. Non-compliance with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act in relation to remuneration paid to
the executive directors for years 2006 to 2009, may attract penalties payable by the Company.
In terms of Section 309 of the Companies Act, in case the Company does not have adequate profits then in that
event any remuneration to directors in excess of the prescribed limits would require prior approval of the Central
Government. Through inadvertence the Company though required, failed to obtain such approval for the
remuneration paid to Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter, Mrs. Shaheen Akhter and Mr. Vinit Kumar Gupta. As per the
provisions of Section 309 (5A), the directors are required to refund the excess remuneration to the Company and
till such refund hold the same in trust for the Company. In terms of Section 309 (5B), in case the Company is
desirous of waiving the recovery of the said excess amount from the directors, the Company is required to obtain

applied to the Central Government vide application dated August 26, 2010 for permission under Section 309 (5B).
There cannot be any assurance that the Central Government will grant approval(s) as requested and/or
condone/compound the non-compliances on the part of the Company as prayed for. The Company cannot
envisage whether any penalty will be levied and if so, what will be the amount of such penalty. The issuer
company is awaiting the response from the Central Government.
7. We have availed a loan from CITI Bank and as per the terms of the loan, we are required to and have
accordingly applied for a no objection certificate from the CITI Bank. However, CITI Bank has
instead advised us to foreclose the loan and this foreclosure would adversely affect the financial
position and results of operations.
We have availed a secured loan from CITI Bank and outstanding amount of the loan as on November 20, 2010
was `92.51 lakhs. As per the terms of the said loan, we have applied for a no objection certificate from CITI Bank.
However, CITI Bank has advised us to foreclose the loan. Accordingly, we have taken all necessary steps to
foreclose the loan or transfer the said the loan either in the name of the Promoter or to replace with debt facilities
that may be availed by the Company from other banks/financial institutions. If any of these steps do not
materialize, our financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected. However, we undertake
to complete the required actions before filing of the Red Herring Prospectus.
8. Delay in realization of proceeds collected on our behalf by our franchisees may adversely affect our
cash flows, revenues and results of operations.
As per the business model adopted by the Company, majority of the salons are run under the franchise system. In
terms of the agreed understanding with the franchisees, the franchisees collect the revenues from the customers
and the same are collected on behalf of the Company. The franchisees pass on the entire collection to the
Company and on receipt the Company pays over the agreed share of revenues to the concerned franchisee. Since
the Company’s franchised outlets are located throughout the Country, there are delays in remitting the said
revenue amounts to the Company and there may be loss/embezzlement of the amounts.
Though the franchisees are required to report the collections in prescribed formats, there is no foolproof
mechanism to verify and ascertain the accuracy of reporting.
There is no assurance that in future the Company will be able to put in place the mechanism to avoid/mitigate the
leakages in the current business model. There may be loss/embezzlement of the amounts may adversely affect our
cash flows, revenues and results of operations.
9. There exist persons and groups who operate their businesses under the same or similar name and
which can claim the history of our brand. Further, any deficiency in the quality of services, advice,
14
equipments, training, etc. provided by these persons and groups may adversely affect our brand image
and thereby our business and our results of operations / financial condition.
It has recently come to the knowledge of the Company that there are some unscrupulous persons and groups
within and outside India who by using the name Jawed Habib as their trade name, business name or domain name
are selling hair care products and/or rendering advice on hair care. Such business competes with us. The interests
of these persons and groups may conflict with the Company’s interests. There may be other persons and groups,
who may be directly or indirectly using our name, brand name and intellectual property right but are not within
our knowledge.
We do not have any agreement or arrangements with these persons and groups. To protect our interest and our
intellectual property rights, we are in the process of taking appropriate actions against such persons and groups. In
the meantime, any deficiency in the quality of services, advice, equipments, training, etc. provided by these
persons and groups may adversely affect our brand image as they operate under the same or similar name and
thereby affecting our business and our results of operations / financial condition.
10. We have in the past entered into related party transactions and may continue to do so in the future.
There can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have an
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations
We have, in the course of our business, entered into transactions with related parties that include entities forming
part of our Promoter Group. The cumulative figure of related party transactions for the last four financial years
ending March 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and for the period ended November 20, 2010 is as follows:

While we believe that all such transactions have been conducted on an arms-length basis and contain commercial
terms, there can be no assurance that we could not have achieved more favourable terms had such transactions not
been entered into with related parties. Furthermore, it is likely that we will continue to enter into related party
transactions in the future. There can be no assurance that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will
not have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

12. Our funds requirements are based on agreements and on the basis of internal management estimates,
quotations obtained, wherever possible, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial
institution. We have not entered into definitive agreements to utilize part of our Issue proceeds. Any
increase in the actual deployment of funds may cause an additional burden on our finance plans
which will have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations
The fund requirements are based on agreements and on the basis of internal management estimates and quotations
obtained, wherever possible, and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. These are based on
current conditions and are subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances or costs or in other
financial conditions, business strategy, etc. With increase in costs, our actual deployment of funds may exceed our
estimates and may cause us an additional burden on our finance plans. As on the date of the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, we have not entered into any definitive agreements for brand(s) acquisition and setting up of
additional exclusive outlets nor have we incurred any expenses towards the same. For further details please refer
to chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on page 57 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
13. Our indebtedness and the conditions and restrictions imposed by our financing and other agreements
could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business and operations.
We have an aggregate outstanding of `82.22 Lakhs secured loans as on November 20, 2010. These loans are
secured by way of mortgage of hypothecation of credit card receivables, stock, book debts, and personal guarantee
of directors. In case we are not able to pay our dues in time, the same may adversely impact our result of
operations. Further, we are subject to the usual and customary restrictive covenants in agreements that we have
entered into with banks like obtaining prior approval for undertaking any merger or demerger, issue of further
capital, change in financial year, declaration of dividend, any substantial expansion and making investments, etc.
For further details, please refer to Annexure J of section titled “Financial Information” on page 146 of the Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.
14. We have availed unsecured loans from body corporates and financial institutions which, subject to the
terms and conditions of relevant agreements, may be recalled at any time and this may affect our
financial condition and results of operations
We have availed unsecured loans to the tune of `1723.95 lakhs as on November 20, 2010. Subject to the terms and
conditions of relevant agreements, the same may be recalled at any time. For further details please refer Annexure
K of section titled “Financial Information” on page 147. In the event the aforementioned loans are recalled by the
lenders our financial condition and profitability could be adversely affected.
15. Our Promoter and one of our Directors have interests in the Company other than normal
remuneration or reimbursement of expenses incurred or benefits.
Our Promoter and one of our Directors i.e Mrs. Shaheen Akhter are interested in the Company to the extent of
their shareholding in the Company. Our Directors may also be regarded as interested in the Equity Shares, if any,
16
held by them, that may be subscribed by or allotted to the companies, in which they are interested as directors,
members, and promoters, pursuant to the Issue. All of the Directors may also be deemed to be interested to the
extent of any dividend payable to them and other distributions in respect of the Equity Shares of the Company. For
more details, see the chapters, “Capital Structure”, “Our Management” and “Financial Statements” beginning on
pages 48, 108 and 125 respectively of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
16. We may face a potential conflict of interest as the Company and Group Companies have the main
object of carrying on business in the Hair & Beauty Care Industry.
Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter is also a Promoter-Director of our Group Companies, Habibs Hair & Beauty Studio
Private Limited and Jawed Habib’s Hair Xpreso Private Limited. These Companies have been incorporated for the
purpose of providing hair care and allied activities. There may be a potential conflict of interest as the objects and
business activities of these Companies are similar or complementary to that of the Company
Further, any deficiency in the quality of services, equipments, training, etc. provided by these Companies in future
through their outlets may adversely affect our brand image as they shall operate under the same or similar name,
thereby affecting our business and financial condition and our results of operations.
17. We have in the last 12 months, issued Equity Shares at a price that could be lower than the Issue
Price.
We have issued 3,60,000 Equity Shares of `10 each at a premium of `100 per share on May 17, 2010 on
preferential basis. We have also issued 10,45,000 Equity Shares of `10 each at a premium of `30 per share on
October 07, 2010 on preferential basis. We have also issued 87,25,500 fully paid up Equity Shares of the face
value of `10/- each as bonus in the ratio of 9:2, i.e. 9 fully paid up Equity Shares for every 2 fully paid up Equity
Shares held on October 25, 2010.This price (after adjusting the issuance of Bonus on October 25, 2010 against
these shares) may be lower than the issue price at which the proposed public offering is to be made. Except the
above, we have in the last 12 months, not issued Equity Shares at a price that could be lower than the Issue Price.
For details, please refer to the chapter titled “Capital Structure” beginning on page 48 of the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus.
18. We may continue to be controlled by our Promoter and other principal shareholders i.e Greenfield
Investments2 following the Issue and our other shareholders may not be able to affect the outcome of
shareholder voting.
After the completion of the Issue, our Promoter will collectively hold approximately [●] % of the fully diluted
post-Issue equity capital. Consequently, our Promoter, and other principal shareholders, acting jointly, may
exercise substantial control over us and may have the power to elect and remove a majority of our Directors and/or
determine the outcome of proposals for corporate action requiring approval of our Board of Directors or
shareholders, such as lending and investment policies, revenue budgets, capital expenditure, dividend policy and
strategic acquisitions. Our Promoter and other principal shareholder will be able to influence our major policy
decisions, including our overall strategic and investment decisions, by controlling the election of our Directors
and, in turn, indirectly controlling the selection of our senior management, determining the timing and amount of
any dividend payments, approving our annual budgets, deciding on increases or decreases in our share capital,
determining our issuance of new securities, approving mergers, acquisitions and disposals of our assets or
businesses, and amending our articles of association. This control could also delay, defer or prevent a change in
control of the Company, impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the
Company, or discourage a potential acquirer from obtaining control of the Company even if it is in the best
interests of the Company. While our promoter, being Director of the Company are required to act in the best
interests of the Company, it is possible that they may not do so and further, the interests of our controlling
shareholders may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders, including the holders of the Equity Shares,
17
and the controlling shareholders may make decisions that materially adversely affect your investment in the
Equity Shares.
19. There can be delay in the schedule of setup of the exclusive owned brand outlets for which part of the
funds are being raised in the Issue. This may affect our financial condition and results of operation.
We have expansion plans of adding 8 exclusive owned brand outlets during the fiscal year 2012, for which funds
are being raised from the Issue. As on the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, we have not initiated any
activities towards this Object of the Issue and there can be a possibility of us delaying the schedule of rollout of
the proposed outlets. Normally, there is a lead time involved in setup of an outlet that may extend up to 4-6 weeks
after the planning phase, which involves finalisation of the location. If we are not able to identify a suitable
location within the time and place that we desire or at all and considering the time schedule required for rollout,
we cannot guarantee that all the 8 outlets will be rolled out in the fiscal year 2012. This may adversely affect our
financial condition and results of operation.
20. The utilisation of our Issue proceeds will not be monitored by any external, independent or a
Monitoring Agency but through our Board of Directors.
There will be no external, independent or a Monitoring Agency, which would monitor the utilization of our Issue
proceeds. However, our Board or Audit committee authorized in this behalf will monitor the utilization of the
proceeds of the Issue. We will disclose the details of the utilisation of the Issue proceeds, including interim use,
under a separate head in our financial statements specifying the purpose for which such proceeds have been
utilized or otherwise disclose as per the disclosure requirements of our listing agreements with the Stock
Exchanges and in particular Clause 49 of the listing agreement.
21. There are 32 trademark applications pending with the Trademark office for registration. Our success
depends on our trademarks and proprietary rights and any failure to protect our intellectual property
rights may adversely affect our competitive position.
The Company’s business might be affected due to our inability to protect our existing and future intellectual
property rights. We own intellectual property rights, in particular, trademarks, which are fundamental to our
brand, which gives us a competitive advantage. We use our intellectual property rights to promote and protect the
goodwill of our brand, enhance our competitiveness and otherwise support our business goals and objectives. As
on the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, 32 of our marks are pending registration under various classes of
the Trademarks Act, 1999. Any delay or refusal to register these trademarks could adversely affect our business.
We cannot guarantee that all the pending applications will be decided in the favour of the Company. If any of our
trademarks are not registered it can allow any person to use a deceptively similar mark and market its product
which could be similar to the products offered by us. Such infringement will hamper our business as prospective
clients may go to such user of mark and our revenues may decrease. For more details please refer to the paragraph
titled “Intellectual Property” beginning on page 196 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
22. There are 4 approvals and licenses which we are yet to receive. Non-issuance or non-renewal of the
said approvals and licenses would adversely affect the Company’s operations, thereby having a
material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition
We require certain statutory and regulatory approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions to operate our
business, some of which the Company has either received, applied for or is in the process of applying. Such
approvals, licenses, registrations and permits may be granted for a fixed period of time. If we fail to obtain some
or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, it would adversely affect the
Company’s operations, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
18
Following is the list of the pending licenses:
23. Our franchises also require approvals and licenses to operate and any non receipt of the same would
adversely affect the Company’s operations, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business,
results of operations and financial condition
Our franchises require certain statutory and regulatory approvals, licenses, registrations and permissions to operate
business. Such approvals, licenses, registrations and permits may be granted for a fixed period of time. If they fail
to obtain some or all of these approvals or licenses, or renewals thereof, in a timely manner or at all, it would
adversely affect the Company’s operations, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
24. Our registered office premises and premises from where we operate our own outlets, are not owned by
us. The lease / leave and licence agreements for some of our premises from where we operate our own
outlets are not registered and in case of any disputes, the same can be challenged in the court of law.
Further, we may not be able to renew these agreements in terms favourable to us or at all.
We do not own the premises of our current registered office and the premises from where we operate our own
outlets. These premises have been acquired by the Company on lease/ leave and license basis for different terms.
There is no assurance that we will be able to comply with the requirements as may be contained in the agreements
of lease or leave and license as the case may be. Any non-compliance by us with the terms of the said agreements
may result in the termination of the agreements and may render our investments towards setting up and operating
such premises as futile. There can be no assurance that the Licensors or Lessors will not terminate these
agreements, which would have a material adverse effect on conducting our business and our commercial
operations.
For further details on all of our leased premises please refer to paragraph titled “Properties” on page 94 of the
Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
25. Majority of our franchises, both present and proposed, are located in places not owned by us but are
taken on contractual agreement basis by the Franchisees themselves. The non-renewal of lease or any
deficiency in the title / ownership rights / development rights of the owners may impede the operation
of our franchises’ outlets.
The salons and academies operated by our franchisees are not owned by us. These premises are owned by the
Franchisees or acquired by them on a contractual basis. Any non-renewal of lease or any deficiency in the title /
ownership rights of such third parties may lead to legal implications which can result in us having to vacate the
premises or increase our cost of operations, thus affecting our profits.
26. Our growth will depend on our ability to sustain our brand and failure to do so will have a negative
impact on our ability to compete in this industry.
We believe that our brand “Jawed Habib” is well recognised in the industry in which we operate and has
significantly contributed to the success of our business. We believe that our success depends on our ability to
19
maintain the Brand name through ace quality and customer service. Continuing efforts towards building and
sustaining our brand will be critical for the recognition of our services. Promoting and positioning our brand will
depend largely on the success of our marketing efforts and our ability to back that with high quality services.
Brand promotion activities may /may not result in incremental revenue, and even if they do, any incremental
revenue may not offset the expenses we incur in building our brand. If we fail to promote and maintain our brand,
our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
27. Our inability to manage our growth could disrupt our business and reduce our profitability.
A principal component of our strategy is to continue growing by expanding the size and geographical scope of our
business either through organically or inorganically. Although we plan to continue to expand our scale of
operations through organic growth and investments in other entities, there could be a possibility that we may not
grow at a rate comparable to our growth rate in the past, either in terms of income or profit. Further, such growth
strategy will place significant demands on our management, financial and other resources. It will require us to
continuously develop and improve our operational, financial and internal controls and more importantly adhering
to quality and high standards that meet customer expectations. Any inability on our part to manage such growth
could disrupt our business prospects, impact our financial condition and adversely affect our results of operations.
28. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure adequate financing in the future on
acceptable terms, in time, or at all. We have, in the past, relied on body corporates and banks to assist
us in funding which may not necessarily be available in the future.
We may require additional funds in connection with future business expansion and development initiatives. In
addition to the proceeds of this offering and our internally generated cash flow, we may need additional sources of
funding to meet these requirements, which may include entering into new debt facilities with lending institutions
or raising additional debt in the capital markets. If we decide to raise additional funds through the incurrence of
debt, our interest obligations will increase, and we may be subject to additional covenants. Such financings could
cause our debt to equity ratio to increase or require us to create charges or liens on our assets in favour of lenders.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure adequate financing in the future on acceptable terms, in
time, or at all. Our failure to obtain sufficient financing could result in the delay or abandonment of any of our
business development plans and this may affect our business and future results of operations. We have historically
depended on the financial assistance provided by body corporates and banks in order to help fund us, as well as
improvements to our existing infrastructure and other business requirements. Although we expect that in the
future such forms of credit support will be unnecessary in light of our improved liquidity due to the completion of
the Issue, as well as increased income from operations as our existing business matures. However, we may be
unable to obtain future funds from lenders on favorable terms or at all without such support, and without such
support our expansion plans may not be realized.
29. The staffs in the salons we operate are trained internally and placed with our own outlets and
franchisees through our training academies. We may fail to attract and retain enough sufficiently
trained employees needed to support our operations and growth.
In the beauty and hair care industry the success, to a significant extent, depends on one’s ability to provide quality
services to its clients on a continuous basis. To deliver this, it is necessary to attract, hire, train and retain qualified
employees. All the general hair-stylists and salon managers in our salons are mainly sourced from our academies.
Besides, there is significant need for professionals with skills necessary to perform the services we offer to our
clients. Thus, if we are unable to attract candidates to our training academies we may fail to provide enough
sufficiently trained employees needed to support our operations and growth. This could result in poor service
quality and lead to a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.
20
30. Our success depends significantly upon our management team. Any inability on our part to attract and
retain our key managerial personnel may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Further, our existing strength of management team may face limitation in managing growth in the
future.
We are highly dependent on our executive promoter directors and our key managerial personnel for our business.
Our business model is reliant on the efforts and initiatives of our senior level management and our key managerial
personnel. Our ability to successfully function and meet future business challenges depends on our ability to
attract and retain them. Our future performance will depend upon the continued services of these persons. In this
regard, we cannot assure you that we will be able to retain our skilled senior management or managerial personnel
or continue to attract new talents in the future. Further, our existing strength of management team may face
limitation in managing growth in the future which may materially and adversely impact our business and results of
operations.
31. Our Brand name has been derived and is heavily dependent on our Promoter Mr. Jawed Habib
Akhter. In the event of disassociation with our promoter for whatsoever reasons, our business will be
adversely affected.
The Company believes that “Jawed Habib” brand commands strong brand recall among clients and our revenues
are majorly depends on association of the promoter with the Company. The Company’s success depends on its
ability to maintain the brand image. There can be no assurance that this brand name will not be adversely affected
in the future by events such as actions that are beyond the Company’s control and also its business, financial
condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. Though we have standardised our training
methodology and the franchisee operation, there cannot be any assurance that in the event of disassociation with
our promoter for whatsoever reasons, our business will not be adversely affected.
32. We may face claims / liabilities / suits from our clients should they perceive any deficiency in our
services or in the event of bodily harm / injury to them while in our salons.
We believe in providing quality client service and due care is taken while providing services. We attempt to
mitigate the associated risks which may happen due to factors beyond our control. However we may not be able to
cover all such risks and may face financial liabilities or loss of reputation, in the event of accidents / mishaps in
our salons and academies. While we endeavour to take maximum possible precautions, any mishap, accident
during training and/ or hair and beauty care procedures, which may or may not lead to personal injuries, may take
place due to factors which are beyond our control. Occurrence of such events may have an adverse impact on our
business.
We operate in a highly competitive market and face stiff competition from other players operating both in
organized and un-organized sectors. Some foreign players have also entered the Indian market. Pricing is one of
the factors that plays an important role in our client’s selection of our services. There are several strategies
adopted by our competitors to increase their market share i.e. through advertising, pricing, service and new
product and service introductions among others. This increased competition by both traditional and new players
may affect our margins. In order to protect our existing market share or capture market share, we may be required
to increase expenditure for advertising and promotions and to introduce and establish new products and services.
Due to inherent risks in the marketplace associated with advertising and new product and service introductions,
including uncertainties about consumer response, increased expenditure may not prove successful in maintaining
or enhancing our market share and could result in lower profitability. Stiff competition from a variety of
competitors in the organized and un-organised sectors adversely impacts our operations and profitability.
21
34. We have not identified any alternate source of financing the ‘Objects of the Issue’. If we fail to
mobilize resources as per our plans, our growth plans may be affected
We have not identified any alternate source of funding and hence any failure or delay on our part to raise money
from the Issue or any shortfall in the issue proceeds may delay the implementation schedule and could adversely
affect our growth plans. For further details please refer to the chapter titled “Objects of the Issue” beginning on
page 48 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
35. Our growth strategy to expand into new geographic areas exposes us to certain risks
We intend to expand our presence both geographically and inorganically in terms of number of outlets. Tier-I,
Tier-II, Tier-III and other fast developing smaller towns are currently under-served and provide a greater scope for
our services. Pursuance of such a growth strategy may expose us to risks, which may arise due to lack of
understanding / economic conditions and culture of these areas. If we are not able to manage the risk of such
expansion, it could have a material adverse affect on our operations.
36. We may not be able to find ideal locations to open and operate outlets and may not able to
commercially exploit all the territories for our Franchises.
We are in the business of hair care and beauty salons and operate through highly modernized centers. Success of
our business is highly dependent on optimizing the locations of our outlets and franchises at a competitive cost.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand and grow at the rate at which we may desire to, as we may
not be able to find locations that we believe will be necessary for implementing our expansion plans. If we are not
able to find the locations at the time and place that we desire, the same may have a material adverse impact on our
results of operation.
37. Our insurance cover may be inadequate to fully protect us from all losses which in turn would
adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We have a corporate insurance policy covering standard fire, earthquake, terrorism, burglary, cash, glass breakage
and public liability. However, our insurance policies may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances
and are subject to certain deductibles, exclusions and limits on coverage. There can be no assurance that the terms
of our insurance policies will be adequate to cover any damage or loss suffered by us or that such coverage will
continue to be available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large
claims, or that the insurer will not disclaim coverage as to any future claim. Further, we are not covered by
business interruption policy. Interruption of our business operations for any reasons including on account of fire,
flood, any natural calamities etc. may have a material and adverse impact on our business operations and
profitability
38. Our business is highly dependent on consumer spending patterns and any downward movement in the
same would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We are in the business of hair and beauty salons. The growing middle and upper class of Indian population is our
main target business segment. Hence our business is highly dependent on their spending pattern, which again
depends on the general economic conditions in the country and the surplus available with consumers for spending
on matters of hair and beauty care.
39. Negative covenants in our Shareholders’ Agreement with Greenfield Investments2 and Debenture
Subscription Agreement with Brand Equity Treaties Limited, may adversely affect our business
operations.
22
We have entered into a Share Subscription Agreement with Greenfield Investments 2 and Debenture Subscription
Agreement with Brand Equity Treaties Limited, which have several covenants in relation to various aspects of
business operations of the Company. Certain covenants may impede our decision-making ability and lead to
adverse impact on our business operations. However, the said Agreements cease to be operative upon listing of the
Company’s shares on stock exchange(s). For details please refer chapter “History and Certain Corporate Matters”
on page 102 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
40. Ineffective execution of marketing programs could have an adverse effect on our revenues and brand
image.
Primary factors in determining customer decisions in the industry sector which we operate include customer
confidence, price points for our services, together with the level and quality of customer service. The ability to
differentiate our services and our Existing outlets from competitors by its branding, marketing and advertising
programs is an important factor in attracting consumers. As a result, from time to time we undertake brand
building exercise and marketing programs to enhance our brand visibility. If these programs are ineffectively
executed or the level of support for them is reduced, it could affect our ability to attract customers.
Further, we cannot assure you that we will be able to accurately estimate our marketing expenditure for our
business. In case our marketing expenses are lesser than market standards, our marketing programs may be
perceived ineffective. However, if our marketing expenses are higher than the market standards, it may adversely
affect our revenues and results of operations.
41. Our top ten franchisee accounted for 17.10% of our total income so far in Fiscal 2010. We cannot
assure you that revenues from this franchisee will continue; if not, our revenue will likely decline.
Although we operate through a large number of franchisee across various geographies, we are dependent on top
ten franchisee for significant part of our revenues. For Fiscal 2010, these franchisees have accounted
approximately 17.10% and of our total revenue. Although we have maintained good and longstanding
relationships with these franchisees, we do not have any long-term contract with them. The loss of these franchises
or a significant reduction in their performance would have a materially adverse effect on our revenues.
As a result of significant reliance on these franchisees, we may face certain issues including pricing pressures
because of competition. Our contracts with these franchisees are typically for a limited period, ranging between
one and two years, and the terms of such contracts normally allow the franchisees to terminate the contracts
without cause by giving notice as per the terms of the agreement. In addition, we have no guarantee of income
under these agreements. The loss or significant decrease in the volume of business from one or more of our
significant franchisee would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and cash flows.
42. The Company has unsecured loans which may be recalled by the relevant lenders at any time.
The Company have availed unsecured loans. Unsecured loans are repayable on demand and may be recalled by
the lenders at any time without notice, or with short notice, upon default or otherwise. If the lenders exercise their
right to recall a loan, it could have a material adverse affect on the financial position of the Company.
23
43. Significant differences exist between Indian GAAP and other accounting principles, such as IFRS,
which may be material to investors' assessments of our financial condition.
Our financial statements, including the restated consolidated financial statements provided in the Draft Red
Herring Prospectus, are prepared in accordance with Indian GAAP. US GAAP and IFRS differ in significant
respects from Indian GAAP.
As a result, our standalone and consolidated financial statements and reported earnings could be different from
those which would be reported under IFRS or US GAAP. Such differences may be material. We have not
attempted to quantify the impact of US GAAP or IFRS on the financial data included in the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus, nor do we provide a reconciliation of our financial statements to those of US GAAP or IFRS.
Accordingly, the degree to which the Indian GAAP financial statements included in the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus will provide meaningful information is entirely dependent on the reader’s level of familiarity with
Indian accounting practices. Had the financial statements and other financial information been prepared in
accordance with IFRS or US GAAP, the results of operations and financial position may have been materially
different. Because differences exist between Indian GAAP and IFRS or US GAAP, the financial information in
respect of the Company contained in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus may not be an effective means to compare
us with other companies that prepare their financial information in accordance with IFRS or US GAAP. Any
reliance by persons not familiar with Indian accounting practices on the financial disclosures presented in the
Draft Red Herring Prospectus should accordingly be limited. In making an investment decision, investors must
rely upon their own examination of the Company, the terms of the Issue and the financial information relating to
the Company. Potential investors should consult their own professional advisers for an understanding of these
differences between Indian GAAP and IFRS or US GAAP, and how such differences might affect the financial
information contained herein.
44. We will be required to prepare our financial statements in accordance with IFRS effective from April
1, 2011. There can be no assurance that our adoption of IFRS will not adversely affect our reported
results of operations or financial condition and any failure to successfully adopt IFRS by April 1, 2011
could have an adverse effect on the price of the Equity Shares.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the accounting body that regulates the accounting firms in India,
has announced a road map for the adoption of and convergence with the IFRS, pursuant to which some public
companies in India will be required to prepare their annual and interim financial statements under IFRS beginning
with the fiscal period commencing April 1, 2011. Based on current timeline announced for IFRS convergence for
Indian companies, the Company estimates that the earliest that it would need to prepare annual and interim
financial statements under IFRS would be the financial period commencing from April 1, 2011.
There is currently a significant lack of clarity on the adoption of and convergence with IFRS and we currently do
not have a set of established practices on which to draw on in forming judgments regarding its implementation and
application, we have not determined with any degree of certainty the impact that such adoption will have on our
financial reporting.
There can be no assurance that our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or changes in
shareholders’ equity will not appear materially worse under IFRS than under Indian GAAP. As we transition to
IFRS reporting, we may encounter difficulties in the ongoing process of implementing and enhancing our
management information systems. Moreover, there is increasing competition for the small number of IFRS-
experienced accounting personnel as more Indian companies begin to prepare IFRS financial statements. There
can be no assurance that our adoption of IFRS will not adversely affect our reported results of operations or
financial condition and any failure to successfully adopt IFRS by April 2011 could have an adverse effect on the
price of the Equity Shares.
24
Risks related to our Shareholders and Equity Shares
45. Any further issuance of Equity Shares by the Company or sales of Equity Shares by any significant
shareholders may adversely affect the trading price of the Equity Shares.
Any future issuance of Equity Shares by the Company could dilute your shareholding. Any such future issuance of
Equity Shares or sales of Equity Shares by any of our significant shareholders may also adversely affect the
trading price of the Equity Shares, and could impact our ability to raise capital through an offering of our
securities. In addition, any perception by investors that such issuances or sales might occur, could also affect the
trading price of the Equity Shares.
In terms of Regulation 37 of the SEBI ICDR Regulations, our entire pre-Issue equity share capital (consisting of
[●] Equity Shares) will be locked in for a period of one year from the date of Allotment in the Issue.
46. Our ability to pay dividends in future will depend upon future earnings, financial conditions, cash
flows, working capital requirements and capital expenditures.
The Company has not paid any dividends in the past to its shareholders. The amount of our future dividend
payments, if any, will depend upon our future earnings, financial conditions, cash flows, working capital
requirements and capital expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue paying
dividends in future.
47. You may not be able to sell immediately on an Indian stock exchange any of the Equity Shares you
purchase in the Issue until the Issue receives the appropriate trading approvals.
Under the ICDR Regulations, the Company is permitted to list the Equity Shares within 12 working days of the
Bid/Issue Closing Date. Consequently, the Equity Shares you purchase in the Issue may not be credited to your
demat account with Depository Participants until approximately 12 working days after the Bid/Issue Closing Date.
You can start trading in the Equity Shares only after they have been credited to your demat account and final
listing and trading approvals are received from the Stock Exchanges. There can be no assurance that final listing
and trading approvals will be obtained from the Stock Exchanges on time or at all. Further, there can be no
assurance that the Equity Shares allocated to you will be credited to your demat account, or that trading in the
Equity Shares will commence within the specified time periods.
48. There is no existing market for our Equity Shares and we cannot assure you that such a market will
develop. The stock price may be volatile, and you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the
Issue price or at all.
Prior to the Issue, there has been no public market for our Equity Shares. The trading price of our Equity Shares
may fluctuate after the Issue due to a variety of factors, including our results of operations and the performance of
our business, competitive conditions, general economic, political and social factors, volatility in the Indian and
global securities markets, the performance of the Indian and global economy, significant developments in India‘s
fiscal regime and other factors. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our Equity Shares will
develop or be sustained after the Issue, or that the price at which our Equity Shares are initially offered will
correspond to the prices at which they will trade in the market subsequent to the Issue.
49. There are restrictions on daily movements in the price of the Equity Shares, which may adversely
affect a shareholder’s ability to sell, or the price at which it can sell, Equity Shares at a particular
point in time.
Subsequent to listing, we will be subject to a daily circuit breaker imposed on listed companies by all stock
exchanges in India, which does not allow transactions beyond certain volatility in the price of the Equity Shares.
25
This circuit breaker operates independently of the index-based market-wide circuit breakers generally imposed by
SEBI on Indian stock exchanges. The percentage limit on our circuit breaker is set by the stock exchanges based
on the historical volatility in the price and trading volume of the Equity Shares. The stock exchanges are not
required to inform us of the percentage limit of the circuit breaker from time to time, and may change it without
our knowledge. This circuit breaker would effectively limit the upward and downward movements in the price of
the Equity Shares. As a result of this circuit breaker, there can be no assurance regarding the ability of
shareholders to sell the Equity Shares or the price at which shareholders may be able to sell their Equity Shares.
50. The market price of our Equity Shares may fluctuate due to the volatility of the Indian securities
market.
The Indian securities markets are smaller than securities markets in more developed economies. Further, the
regulation and monitoring of Indian securities markets and the activities of investors, brokers and other
participants differ, in some cases significantly, from those in the US and Europe. In the past, Indian stock
exchanges have experienced temporary exchange closures, broker defaults and settlement delays which, if
continuing or recurring, could affect the market price and liquidity of the securities of Indian companies, including
the Equity Shares. A closure of, or trading stoppage on, the stock exchanges could adversely affect the trading
price of the Equity Shares. In the past, the stock exchanges have experienced substantial fluctuations in the prices
of listed securities. In addition, the governing bodies of the Indian stock exchanges have from time to time
restricted securities from trading, limited price movements and restricted margin requirements. Further, from time
to time, disputes have occurred between listed companies and the stock exchanges and other regulatory bodies
that, in some cases, have had a negative effect on market sentiment. Similar problems could occur in the future
and, if they do, they could harm the market price and liquidity of the Equity Shares.
51. Third party statistical and financial data in the Draft Red Herring Prospectus may be incomplete or
unreliable
We have not independently verified data from industry publications and other sources and therefore cannot assure
you that they are complete or reliable. Discussions of matters relating to India, its economy in the DRHP are
subject to the caveat that the statistical and other data upon which such discussions are based may be incomplete
or unreliable.
52. Political, Economic and Social developments in India and acts of violence or war could adversely
affect our business.
The Government of India has traditionally exercised and continues to exercise a significant influence over many
aspects of the economy. Our business, and the market price and liquidity of our shares, may be affected by interest
rates, changes in Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other political, economic or other
developments in or affecting India. Since 1991, successive Indian governments have pursued policies of economic
liberalisation and financial sector reforms. The Government of India has announced its general intention to
continue India‘s current economic and financial sector liberalisation and deregulation policies. However, there can
be no assurance that such policies will be continued and a significant change in the Government of India‘s policies
in the future could affect business and economic conditions in India and could also adversely affect our business,
prospects, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the price of our Equity Shares. Any changes
to Government policy or to law may affect our business and financial condition. The rate of economic
liberalisation could change, and specific laws and policies affecting foreign investment, currency exchange rates
and other matters affecting investment in India could change as well. A significant change in India‘s economic
liberalisation and deregulation policies could disrupt business and economic conditions in India generally and our
business in particular.
26
53. A slowdown in economic growth in India and other unfavourable changes in political and economic
factors may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
All our business facilities are located in India. The Company, the market price and liquidity of our Equity Shares,
may be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and controls, interest rates, changes in
Government policy, taxation, social and civil unrest and other negative political developments like any abrupt
change in the Central or any State Government wherever we have business interests, etc., economic developments
like very high rate of inflation, slow down in growth, decrease in foreign investments, etc. or other developments
in or affecting India. Particularly slow down in economic growth may make the Governments spend relatively less
on agriculture and agricultural growth is also linked to overall economic growth, which may ultimately be
unfavourable to the Company’s business. During the past decade, the Government has pursued policies of
economic liberalization, including significantly relaxing restrictions on the private sector. Nevertheless, the role of
Government and State Governments in the Indian economy in relation to producers, consumers and regulators has
remained significant. It cannot be assured that the liberalization policies will continue in future. For example,
because of the change in Central Government certain liberalization policies like disinvestment in public sector
enterprises, capital account convertibility etc. have been put on hold. The Government may also pursue other
policies which could have a material adverse effect on our business. The rate of economic liberalization could
change, and specific laws and policies affecting our business, suppliers, foreign investment, currency exchange
rates and other matters affecting our business are also subject to change. A significant change in the Government’s
or Indian State Governments’ economic liberalization and deregulation policies could adversely affect business
and economic conditions in India generally and our business and financial condition and prospects in particular.
54. Any downgrading of India’s debt rating by an international rating agency could have an unfavorable
impact on our business.
Any adverse revisions to India’s credit rating for domestic and international debt by international rating agencies
may adversely impact our ability to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at
which such additional financing is available. This could have a material adverse effect on our business and future
financial performance, our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and the trading price of our Equity
Shares.
55. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and cause our business to
suffer.
Our operations, including our franchise network, may be damaged or disrupted as a result of natural calamities
such as earthquakes, a tsunami, floods heavy rainfall, epidemics, drought and other events such as protests, riots
and labour unrest in the past few years. Such events may lead to the disruption of transportation systems and
telecommunication services for sustained periods. Damage or destruction that interrupts our provision of services
could adversely affect our reputation, our senior management team's and franchises’ ability to administer and
supervise our business or it may cause us to incur substantial additional expenditure to repair or replace damaged
infrastructure. Natural calamities could have a negative impact on the Indian economy and may cause suspension,
delays or damage to our current business plans and operations, which may adversely affect our business and our
results of operations.
56. An outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concerns in Asia or elsewhere
could adversely affect our business.
The outbreak of an infectious disease in Asia or elsewhere or any other serious public health concern, such as
swine influenza, could have a negative impact on the global economy, financial markets and business activities
worldwide, which could adversely affect our business. Although, we have not been adversely affected by such
outbreaks in the past, we can give you no assurance that a future outbreak of an infectious disease or any other
serious public health concern will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

The Book Building Process, with reference to the Issue, refers to the process of collection of Bids on the basis of
the Draft Red Herring Prospectus within the Price Band. The Issue Price is finalized after the Bid/Issue Closing
Date. The principal parties involved in the Book Building Process are:
• The Company;
• The Book Running Lead Manager;
• Syndicate Members who are intermediaries registered with SEBI or registered as brokers with BSE/NSE
and eligible to act as Underwriters. The Syndicate Members are appointed by the Book Running Lead
Managers;
• Registrar to the Issue;
• Escrow Collection Bank(s) and
• Self Certified Syndicate Banks
The Issue is being made through the Book Building Process where at least 50% of the Issue to the public shall be
allocated on a proportionate basis to eligible Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”). 5% of the QIB Portion shall
be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Mutual Funds only and the remainder of the QIB Portion
44
shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to all other eligible QIBs, including Mutual Funds, subject
to valid Bids being received at or above the Issue Price. Further, not less than 15% of the Issue to the public shall

to the public shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Retail Individual Bidders, subject to valid

QIBs are not allowed to withdraw their Bid after the Bid/Issue Closing Date. Allocation to QIBs will be on a
proportionate basis. For details please see the chapter titled “Issue Structure” beginning on page 215 of the

and the investors are advised to make their own judgment about investment through this process prior to
making a Bid or application in the Issue.
(Investors should note that this example is solely for illustrative purposes and is not specific to the Issue)
Bidders can bid at any price within the price band. For instance, assuming a price band of ` 40 to ` 48 per share,
issue size of 6,000 equity shares and receipt of nine bids from bidders, details of which are shown in the table
below, the illustrative book would be as below. A graphical representation of the consolidated demand and price
would be made available at the bidding centres’ during the bidding period. The illustrative book as shown below
indicates the demand for the shares of the company at various prices and is collated from bids from various
investors.
The price discovery is a function of demand at various prices. The highest price at which the issuer is able to issue
the desired quantum of shares is the price at which the book cuts off i.e. `42 in the above example. The Issuer, in
consultation with the BRLM will finalize the issue price at or below such cut-off price i.e. at or below `42. All
bids at or above the issue price and cut-off bids are valid bids and are considered for allocation in respective
category.
1. Check eligibility for making a Bid (see chapter titled “Issue Procedure - Who Can Bid?” beginning on page
220 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus);
2. Ensure that you have a dematerialized account and the dematerialized account details are correctly mentioned

Member(s), other than Bids by QIBs who Bid through the ASBA process who shall submit the Bids to the
Designated Branch of the SCSBs; and
7. Bids by ASBA Bidders will have to be submitted to the Designated Branches of the SCSBs. ASBA Bidders
should ensure that their bank accounts have adequate credit balance at the time of submission to the SCSB to

unblock the bank accounts of the ASBA Bidders within one day of receipt of such notification. The stock

Underwriting Agreement

and not joint, and are subject to certain conditions as specified in such agreement.
The Underwriters have indicated their intention to underwrite the following number of Equity Shares:
(This portion has been intentionally left blank and will be filled before filing of the Prospectus with the ROC.)
The above-mentioned amount is an indicative underwriting and would be finalized after pricing and actual
allocation. The above underwriting agreement is dated [•]. In the opinion of the Board of Directors of the

OBJECTS OF THE ISSUE
The objects of the Issue are: (1) Acquisition of brand (s), (2) Acquisition of Integrated ERP-CRM-BI software, (3)
Brand Building, (4) Setting up of own exclusive brand outlets, (5) Repayment of debt, (6) General Corporate
Purposes and (7) Issue related expenses and (8) Achieve the benefits of listing on Stock Exchanges.
The Company believes that listing will enhance the Company’s brand name further and create a public market for
its Equity Shares in India. The main objects clause of our Memorandum of Association and objects incidental to
the main objects enable us to undertake existing activities as well as the activities for which the funds are being
raised through the Issue.
Requirement of Funds
The details of the utilization of proceeds of the Issue are as per the table set forth below:
(` Lakhs)
Sr. Particulars Fund Estimated utilisation of issue
No Requirement proceeds
FY-2012 FY-2013 FY-2014
1 Acquisition of brand (s) 1340.00 400.00 700.00 240.00
Our fund requirements and deployment thereof are based on internal management estimates of our current
business plans and have not been appraised by any bank or financial institution. These are based on current
conditions and are subject to change in light of changes in external circumstances or costs or in other financial
conditions, business strategy, as discussed further below.
Means of Finance
The aforementioned fund requirement will be met entirely from the proceeds of the Issue. In case of shortfall, if
any, we may explore other sources of funds including internal accruals arising from our future operations and/or
debt. In case of any variations in the actual utilization of funds earmarked for the objects mentioned above or in
case of increased fund requirements for a particular object, the shortfall, if any, may be financed by surplus funds,
if any, available for other objects and/or the Company’s internal accruals and/or debt facilities that may be availed
from the banks/financial institutions, to the extent of such shortfall.
In view of the unorganised nature of our industry, we may have to revise our business plans from time to time and
consequently our fund requirements may also change, which may include rescheduling or re-working of our
expansion. Any such change in our plans may require reworking/rescheduling of our expenditure programs, at the
discretion of our management / Board. Our capital expenditure plans are subject to a number of variables,
including possible cost overruns, acquisition cost, etc. and changes in management’s views of the desirability of
current plans, among others.
57
Since the entire fund requirement will be met entirely from the proceeds of the Issue, there is no requirement for
any other firm arrangements of finance. Thus we are in compliance with the Regulation 4(2)(g) of the SEBI
Regulations for firm arrangements of finance through verifiable means towards 75% of the stated means of
finance, excluding the amount to be raised through the proposed Issue, as the same does not apply to us.
We seek to further enhance our position as an established brand in our industry. In addition to continued
investment in brand building and technology, we intend to take our capabilities and enhance our presence both in
the domestic as well as overseas markets through strategic acquisition of brands by way of equity investment.
Towards this end, we intend to target companies/brands which are offering services in hair and beauty industry.
We proposed to invest an amount of `1340 lakhs based on internal management estimates for making such
acquisition. Any specific acquisition will be considered based on actual value estimates at that time.
We are in the process of identifying such brands/entities which fit our strategic requirement. Further, we have
engaged Beaufort International Associates, London, as our corporate broker on January 06, 2011 for identifying
suitable overseas acquisition opportunities, and Singhania & Co, Solicitors and Indian Advocates, London, a
renowned legal firm in merger and acquisition space on January 02, 2011 for advising us on evaluation of various
brands available for acquisition and legal documentation.
We believe that we can expand or establish our presence in newer locations and/or markets through acquisition
which will offer us attractive ready client base. Further, it will also provide us an impetus to exploit our strengths
including our scientific training methodology. At the same time, we shall also be getting an advantage of knowing
latest hair styling trends of different geographical regions and the same can be implemented at our outlets.
We have not yet decided form of investment for future acquisition of brand(s).
We operate as an organized player in a fragemented sector through franchise model as well as company owned
outlets. Since, inception in 2006 we have grown from 37 outlets to 225 outlets as of date which is spread across
the country. Therefore, we need to effectively optimise the processes to achieve the optimal operational efficiency.
This can be achieved through proper technological integration of all our outlets. As of now, we have entered into a
short term agreement with TCS for technological management of operations of our outlets (for further details of
the agreement please refer to page 107 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus).
However, going forward our strategy is to acquire robust home-grown software which will be completely
customized to our requirements and we shall have intellectual property rights over this software asset. Towards
this purpose we have entered into an agreement with Numantra Technologies Private Limited a company engaged
in providing ERP, Business Intelligence, IT/ITES software solutions.
Rationale for acquiring this software
1. Integration of call center operations, front office, finance operations and location can be achieved
2. High customization is made possible that will support the growth in number of outlets
3. Over a longer period outsourcing could prove to be very expensive
4. As of now, our franchises have to bear the cost of using the outsourced software. This new software
product can be offered free of cost to our franchises and thereby monitoring of outlets would become
hassle free.
58
The detailed break up of cost the software as per the proposal is below
The software with all the functionality is expected to go live within a span of 18 months.
• The software would keep a complete Customer Database which can be utilized to keep track of our
client’s preferences in terms of preferred stylist, products that they would like to be used on them, their
appointment and billing history, etc. This would help us give better service to our loyal customers.
• Employee/Workforce Management system will keep track of the salon staff. This can be utilized for
assigning shifts, to track which stylist had serviced which client and also the incentives due to him/her.
• Appointment Management System, with an advance reminder facility built in to enable the Salon
manager to call up the client 1 or 2 days in advance and remind him/her of the scheduled appointment.
The software will also have features like appointment cancellations, re-schedule appointments, no-show,
customer appointment history, etc.
• There will be a system to generate Gift Coupons (specifically the coupon numbers and validity dates) and
also will assist in identifing a valid coupon number with an invalid one when a client walks in to the
salon with one.
• The system will have security features which should prevent deletion of bills. Bills can only be cancelled.
• The entire software should be based on 2 instances. One of which will be a Local Instance of the
software, i.e. the Point-of-Sale system will be installed on the salon computer and will function
independently. The other will be a Central Instance this will be used for Remote Salon Management, by
which the corporate office can track the business each salon makes. The changes, additions,
modifications in services/products, their rates, etc will be done only on the Central Instance and will then
be remotely pushed to the local instance.
59
• The software will have a component whereby it can be linked with web service providers like Google
Maps. This feature is critically important for plotting stores specifically for selecting areas for a new
salon. Once any area in any city, town, etc, has been reserved for a particular salon. The software should
automatically freeze all regions in 2 kilometers radius of the reserved area. This reserved area will then
be marked “unavailable” for future new salons. Colour coding can be used to represent reserved and
unreserved areas, for eg. All reserved areas can be marked in “red” and the unreserved ones can be
marked in “green”.
3. Brand Building
We believe that our branding initiative which we have engaged in over a period of time is substantially attributed
to our promoter Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter. His contribution whether by way of becoming a brand ambassador or
writing books or conducting seminars is immense and has significantly contributed to the brand recognition and
name recall enjoyed by us in our industry.
Towards our aim of becoming a preferred hair and beauty destination, we believe that it will be critical to further
expand our reach and visibility by advertising. To achieve this, we initiated the process by entering into an
advertising agreement dated September 16, 2010 with Brand Equity Treaties Limited wherein BETL will provide
us the advertising services through different media (for further details of the agreement please refer page 105 of
the Draft Red Herring Prospectus). As per this agreement, we propose an expenditure of `1800 lakhs out of which
one third i.e ` 600 lakhs is to be paid by way of cash and the rest of the amount is to be adjusted through issue of
convertible debentures.
To further strengthen our brand building exercise through other creative modes of advertising including the print
media, we have entered into an agreement dated December 24, 2010 with Katha Mediatix India Limited, a 360
degree marketing and communication agency (for further details of the agreement, please refer page 107 of the
Draft Red Herring Prospectus) for providing us advertising services which will include the creative execution,
film production, planning, programming implementation and reviewing campaign that will be built around the
objective of promoting our brand.

amount ` 1000 lakhs towards the total cash component (of which ` 600 lakhs as agreed under agreement with
BETL and ` 400 lakhs is towards additional spend on advertising)
A key factor in the growth of our business is our ability to increase our client base and number of outlets. As on
date, we have grown our number of outlets at an annualised rate of over 35% since inception. As per our current
business plans we will be adding 8 owned full service Jawed Habib Hair & Beauty salons end of fiscal 2012
respectively in following cities.
1. Mumbai, 2. Chandigarh, 3. Hyderabad, 4. Chennai, 5.Benguluru, 6.Kolkata, 7. Delhi and 8.Gurgaon
We intend to use the proceeds of the Issue to fund our setting up of 8 owned full service Jawed Habib Hair &
Beauty salons during the fiscal 2012. The estimated cost break-up of a salon is given below:
60
Particulars (cost per salon) Amount in ` lakhs
1 Interior Costs (for an average area of 5000 square feet) 20.00
2 Cost of salon Equipment 5.77
3 Deposit and Brokerage 28.38
4 Working capital 7.91
5 Software and Hardware 0.50
6 Launch promotion expenses 1.50
Total estimated cost involved for setting up a Hair & Beauty Salon 64.06
Number of salons planned for the fiscal 2012 8
Total 512.48
Based on the above estimates the total cost involved in setting up of 8 owned Hair & Beauty salons during the
fiscal 2012 is `512.48 lakhs which will be met out of proceeds from the Issue.
All the costs to be incurred and equipment required to be purchased pursuant to this object of the Issue will be
sourced either through domestic market or will be imported. The requirement of equipment is based on internal
management estimate. We have relied for cost estimates on the quotations / purchase orders of manufacturers /
suppliers of equipment, prevailing market prices and / or our internal estimates.
1. Interior Costs
The interior cost involved in setting up of a Hair & Beauty salon for approximately an average floor space of 2000
square feet and at an estimated rate of ` 1000/- per square feet translates to ` 20 lakhs for a salon. The cost of
interior involves civil works, wooden flooring, electrical, air conditioning, mirror panelling on wall, luster paint,
plumbing, painting and other infrastructure related costs including architect’s professional fees.
The above cost is based on the quotation dated January 06, 2011 obtained from Deep Enterprises, Mumbai,
interior contractors with whom we regularly deal.
Equipment required for a salon comprises of chairs, folding beds, shampoo stations, clippers, hooder steamers,
hair driers, Cardio, steamers, pedicure tub, sterilisers, etc. The above costs are based on the quotation from Beauty
Planet, Mumbai dated January 6, 2011.
Deposit and brokerage for a floor space of 2000 square feet salon for the period of 12 months approximately
translate to `28.38 lakhs.
4. Working Capital
Working capital for a salon consists of consumables, rent, salary for hair stylists, training and induction, travelling
and other preliminary expenses prior to commencement of its operations which, based on our estimates,
approximates to `7.91 lakhs.
We need to incur promotional expenses like inviting media people, press conference, hair shows, pamphlets.
61
5. Repayment of debt
We have from time to time availed secured and unsecured loans from various body corporates, banks and others.
These loans were primarily used for the purpose of financing capital expenditure for expansion of our salons over
the years and towards the working capital requirements.
We operate 225 outlets as on the date of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus. We have grown our number salons at
an annualized growth rate of over 35 % since inception. To continuously grow ourselves we have made
investments in the form of either the capital expenditure or the working capital.
In this context, we have availed secured and unsecured loans from following body corporates and banks from time
to time. We have historically depended on the financial assistance provided by them in order to help fund our
expansion plans, as well as improvements to our existing infrastructure and other business requirements. These
financial assistances have been instrumental to our growth over the years but the average cost of this debt is on
higher side.
Following are the details of the loans availed from body corporate and banks to whom we propose to repay from
the proceeds of the Issue:
As on November 20, 2010 we have unsecured loans of `1723.95 lakhs of which `317.33 lakhs pertain to these
entities. For details of our outstanding loans as on November 20, 2010 please refer to Annexure K in the chapter

BASIS OF ISSUE PRICE
The Issue Price has been determined by the Company, in consultation with the BRLM on the basis of the demand
from investors for the Equity Shares through the Book Building Process and is justified based on the below
accounting ratios. Please see the section “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus
and the Restated Summary Statements as set out in the section “Financial Statements” beginning on page 125 of
the Draft Red Herring Prospectus to have a more informed view. The trading price of the Equity Shares of the
Company could decline due to the factors mentioned in the section “Risk Factors” and you may lose all or part of
your investment. The face value of the Equity Shares is `10 and the Issue Price is [●] times the face value.
Qualitative Factors
For more details on qualitative factors, refer to section “Business Overview” beginning on page 89 of the Draft
Red Herring Prospectus.
Quantitative Factors
Information presented in this section is derived from the Restated Summary Statements included in the Draft Red
Herring Prospectus. Some of the quantitative factors which may form the basis for computing the Issue Price are
as follows:
(1)
Earnings per share represents both basic and diluted earnings per share calculated as net profit attributable to equity
shareholders as restated divided by a weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
(2)
Face value per share is ` 10.
Note:
a) The earning per share has been calculated on the basis of the restated profits and losses of the respective
years.
b) The earning per share calculations have been done in accordance with Accounting Standard 20- “Earning
per share” notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006, [as amended].
65
2. Price Earning Ratio (P/E ratio)
The Price/Earning (P/E) ratio, on the basis of an Issue Price of ` [●] per share is as set forth below:
There are no comparable listed companies in the same business as the Company and hence Industry PE is not
available.
Return on net worth as per the Company’s restated standalone summary statements:
(1)
Return on Net Worth = Profit after tax as restated/ Net Worth at the end of the year
4. Minimum Return on Increased Net Worth required to maintain pre-issue earning per share for the
year ended March 31, 2010:
At the Floor Price: [●]% based on the restated standalone summary statements;
At the Cap Price: [●]% based on the restated standalone summary statements;
Net asset value per Equity Share represents the net worth, as restated, divided by the number of Equity Shares
outstanding at the end of the period.
As the Company is one of the organized players in the hair & beauty care industry and since there are no Indian
listed entities, there are no comparable figures available with us.
The Issue Price has been determined by the Company in consultation with the BRLM and on the basis of
assessment of market demand for the Equity Shares through the Book Building Process. The BRLM believe that
the Issue Price of ` [●] is justified in view of the above qualitative and quantitative parameters. Investors should
read the above mentioned information along with “Risk Factors” and “Financial Statements” beginning on pages
11 and 125, respectively, of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus, to have a more informed view.

India, the world’s largest democracy in terms of population had a GDP on a purchasing power parity basis
estimated to be U.S. $ 4.046 trillion in 2010. This makes it the fifth largest economy in the world after the
European Union, United States of America, China and Japan (Source: CIA World Factbook).
In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong
domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms.
An industrial expansion and high food prices, resulting from the combined effects of the weak 2009 monsoon and
inefficiencies in the government's food distribution system, fuelled inflation which peaked at about 11% in the
first half of 2010, but has gradually decreased to single digits following a series of central bank interest rate hikes.
The growth rate has been spurred by the manufacturing sector, which has logged approximately 28.6% growth in
2009, agriculture sector’s share is approximately 16.1% of GDP and services sector share is relatively high for an
emerging market at approximately 55.3% of GDP in 2009. (Source: CIA World Factbook).
Wellness industry took shape in very recent years. Wellness industry is very much in demand as more and more
people are getting aware with importance of wellness. Now a days, consumers are started using new wellness
related products and services.
The global Wellness industry is estimated at US$ 1.9 trillion in 2010 as per recent exercise study released at the
Global Spa Summit in Turkey in May 2010.
The Beauty and Anti-Aging segment forms the largest constituent at US $ 679.1 bn accounting for 35% of the
overall Wellness industry.
Wellness industry caters to the human need for wellness-an antithesis to the concept of illness. The Indian
Wellness industry was roughly sized at `28,000 Crore in 2008, and which is growing at around 20% annually.
77
STRUCTURE OF WELLNESS INDUSTRY IN INDIA
In 2008, the Wellness Products industry segment was sized at roughly `16,500
16,500 crore, constituting 60% of the
overall industry. The segment is growing at a compounding annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11-14%.
11
78
Wellness Services Industry
The Wellness services industry is highly interlinked with the demographics and lifestyle trends. As the market
is more pronounced in the urban segment, analyzes of the various economic segments of the urban population
and their expected evolution for the period 1995 – 2025 is important.
• Hair/Beauty Salons
• Spas
• Ayurveda Treatment Centres
Ce
• Alternative Treatments
• Slimming Centres
• Gyms
• Cosmetic Surgery
• Non-surgical
surgical cosmetics procedures
Wellness service in India is largely dominated by the Ayurvedic Treatment Centres and Alternative Treatments
that together account for 55% of the services category. But salons (or rather Hair & Beauty Salons) are a
substantial `3,500 crore market accounting
accountin of over 30% of the category.
The focus in Wellness industry is shifting from consumption of products to services. The far higher growth rate of
Wellness services is expected to propel this category to a 55% share of Wellness industry in 2012 overtaking the
product category by 2011. Wellness Service is expected to be `34,000 crore in 2012.
The estimated sizes of Wellness Products and Wellness Services currently (2010) are `21,000 crore and `19,500
crore respectively.
79
CLASSIFICATION OF URBAN HOUSEHOLD
5 income categories were considered for classifying the urban households with distinctive consumption
patterns. These categories are based on economic class classification developed by NCAER and outline the
th
real annual disposable income for a household.
80
Expected Growth of Beauty Service Market in Urban India
The total urban market is `118 billion in 2010 and projected it to reach `434 billion by 2015. The key growth
drivers will be an increase in penetration of beauty services and a large addition to the household size with income
between `2 to 5 lakhs per annum.
The Hair & Beauty Salon Industry is a constituent part of the overall Wellness Industry.
The global Hair and Beauty Salon (H&BS) industry is expected to be approx US$ 80 – 110 billion. This translates
to a per capita spend of US$ 11.9 – 16.3 at the global level. There is well-established linkages between per capita
spends on H&BS services and per capita incomes.
The global salon hair care market is at around US$ 4.5 billlion in 2009.
The long-term potential per capita spend on H&BS services is around US$ 35. But this level will be achieved only
on crossing per capita GDP levels of US$ 25,000.
The Hair & Beauty Salon (H&BS) industry in India is today at `6,900 crore, up from `1,500 crore in 2005. It is
expected to reach `29,800 crore in 2015, and get to `98,500 crore in 2020.
Indian per capita spend will grow from US$ 0.3 in 2005 to US$ 1.2 in 2010, and is conservatively expected to
reach US$ 5 by 2015, and thereon to a US$ 15 by 2020. This translates to an overall CAGR of 35% till 2015, and
a lower CAGR of 26% thereon till 2020.
Nominal per capita GDP has grown from ` 271 in 1950-51 to ` 42,749 in 2008-09. This constitutes a CAGR of
9.12% over this period of nearly six decades. The CAGR has not been uniform however over this period.
81
Growth in Nominal Per Capital GDP
Above graph shows the decadal CAGR from the fifties onto the current decade, with the current decade
decomposed into year-on-year (y-o-y) growth for each year. The eighties, nineties and the current decade have
seen CAGRs of over 10.5%. The last five years have seen consistent y-o-y growths in the range of 11.5 to 13.5%.
These periods have seen rapid increase in individual incomes in rupee terms.
However the actual buying power of this nominal growth is tempered by inflation. The real GDP (GDP at constant
prices) has grown over the period 1951 – 2009 at a CAGR of 4.76%.
Following graph shows the decadal CAGR from the fifties to the current decade, and y-o-y growths for the current
decade.
Real GDP grew at a CAGR of a little over 3.5% in the thirty-year period covering the fifties, sixties and seventies
when the economy was insular and heavily government-led. The gradual liberalization of the economy with
improved product and service choices tapping into latent demand saw the CAGR jumping to 5.5% in the eighties
and nineties. Post the worldwide slowdown in growth at the turn of the millennium, and greater liberalization of
the economy, the real GDP has taken off and been growing at a CAGR of 8.5% since 2003. Such high growth
82
rates are sustainable even in the long term as evidenced by the sustained Chinese double-digit growth. The Indian
economy chugged along albeit slower at 6.7% in 2008-09 despite the deep global recession.
Indian per capita income was US$ 1,032 in 2009. The same is expected to cross US$ 1,500 in 2013. At this level
of per capita income, the per capita H&BS spend has the potential to reach US$ 15. Taking even the lower
estimate of US$ 15 per capita, this translates to a CAGR of 63% at a per capita basis between 2005 and 2013.
Adding on the 1.4% CAGR of the Indian population, the H&BS services has the potential to grow at a CAGR of
65%.
The Indian H&BS industry will actually underperform on this potential and reach a per capita spend of US$ 1.2 in
2010, and will reach US$ 5 by 2015, and US$ 15 by 2020. This translates to a CAGR of 32% in the recent past
(2005-2010), 33% moving forward till 2015, and 25% beyond 2015 till 2020 in per capita terms. When seen in
absolute terms, these CAGRs translate to an industry CAGR of 34% in the recent past, 35% till 2015, and 26% for
the subsequent five years till 2020.
The above chart shows a reasonable correlation between per capita H&BS consumption and per capita GDP
levels. The long-term potential per capita spends on H&BS services is around US$ 35-40. But this level will be
achieved only on crossing per capita GDP levels of US$ 25,000. India will take a very long time to reach such
levels. The trend line shows a rapid spurt in H&BS per capita spends in the US$ 1,000 – 3,500 per capita income
band.
The average MPCE in urban India has grown from a level of `508 in 1994-95 to `1472 in 2007-08, a growth of
190% over the period translating to a 13-year compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.52%. Rural India has
also seen a 150% growth in average MPCE from `309 to `772. This translates to a CAGR of 7.29% for the period.
83
The trends in urban and rural MPCE can be seen below,
In the current millennium, growth has been more subdued. The 8-year CAGRs (1999-00 to 2007-08) for average
urban and rural MPCEs are 7.02% and 5.96% respectively. These are 1.50% and 1.33% lower than the 13-year
CAGRs.
The Hair & Beauty Salon industry will grow at a CAGR of 36% per annum till 2015 after which it will drop to
27.5% for the next 5 years.
The formal industries under Consumer Services are essentially the Communications industry, Hair & Beauty
Salon industry, Tailoring, Laundry, Legal services and Pets. The Consumer Services industry topped the list at a
13.94% CAGR in the current millennium. The year-on-year growth in 2007-08 over 2006-07 for this item
category was 16.5%.
84
The MPCE on Consumer services was `115 in 2007-08. The average spends on hair and beauty salon services are
only around 10-15% of this figure. This provides the Hair & Beauty Salon industry the potential to grow
substantially faster than the 14% growth in Consumer Services. The greater degree of organization seen in the
Hair & Beauty Salon industry as compared to the other highly informal industries (other than Communications)
under Consumer Services will see the industry easily outpace the rest, and corner a large share of the growth in
Consumer Services.
GROWTH DRIVERS
Macroeconomic Trends
The Indian nominal GDP has grown from `9,719 crore in 1950-51 to `49,33,183 crore in 2008-09 at a
compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.34%. The surge in individual incomes had resulted in
increased buying power at the hands of households. Increase in incomes has seen a higher rise in disposable
incomes (income after taxes). This is due to the streamlining and progressive lowering of taxation rates.
Disposable incomes per capita grew at a CAGR of 7.93% from US$ 663 in 2006 to US$ 834 in 2009. This is
almost a full percentage point ahead of the 6.95% CAGR for Real per capita GDP in the same period
There is growth in spending by people over the years. Post 2004-05, both rural and urban average MPCEs
have risen smartly. The CAGR for the average urban MPCE over the last three years (2004-05 to 2007-08)
has increased to 11.55%. Average rural MPCE has also shown faster growth for the same period with a
corresponding CAGR of 11.00%.
Discretionary income is the amount of an individual's income available for spending after the essentials (such
as food, clothing, and shelter) have been taken care of. Increase in discretionary incomes is generally
accompanied by a shift in consumption patterns from these essentials to non-essential items, and from
products to services.
The urban household consumption expenditure in India reveals a shift in the mix from essential food items to
non-essential non-food items. Also seen is a shift away from products towards greater consumption of
services.
Following graph captures the food and non-food consumption expenditure in urban India,
85
Food items constituted around 53.4% of the overall consumer spend in 1994-95. Non-food items overtook
food items by 1996-97 itself. Food consumption expenditure has dropped nearly consistently every year since
and in 2007-08 accounted for only 39.6% of the overall spends.
Following graph shows growth in Food and Non-food MPCEs in urban India,
Over a thirteen year time frame, Food has grown at a CAGR of 6.05% while Non-food has bounded ahead at
10.72%. In the current millennium (1999-00 to 2007-08), Food has grown at 4.46% CAGR, while Non-food
has maintained a 9.06% CAGR. In the first 5 years (1999-00 to 2004-05), Non-food managed a CAGR of
6.9% while Food was nearly flat at 1.4% CAGR.
The last three years (2004-05 to 2007-08) have seen both categories recover. Food has grown at a CAGR of
9.68% while Non-food has seen a good growth at 12.85% CAGR.
Demographic Trends
The 20-40 age group is seen to be the prime age segment that uses a dominant part of hair and beauty
services. As can be seen the numbers joining this age band every five years till 2021 are more than the
numbers rolling off.
86
The 20-40 age group is expected to have grown 25% from 318 million in 2001 to 396 milllion in 2011. This
translates to a CAGR of 2.2% over the period. Going ahead, the age-group will grow to 440 million in 2016
and 458 million in 2021. Accordingly, the CAGR is expected to decrease marginally to 2.1% for the period
2011-2016, and subsequently decline dramatically to 0.8% for the period 2016-2021.
A slightly adverse phenomenon is seen when we analysed the data at the gender level, attributable mainly to
the drop in female to male ratio.
The pattern across age-groups is mixed. There was a sharp drop going from the 25-29 age group (as of 2001)
to the 15-19 age group. There has however been some recovery going further to the younger age groups. Each
of the 9-19 age groups (as of 2001) have a lower female to male ratio as compared to the 20-39 age groups.
Women are greater consumers of Hair and Beauty Salon services as compared to men. Women in the 20-40
age group are expected to have grown at 1.9% CAGR in the period 2001-2011. This group is expected to
continue to grow at this rate till 2016. As against this, men in the 20-40 age group are expected to have grown
at 2.9% CAGR in the period 2001-2011. The CAGR is expected to drop to 2.3% going forward till 2016.
From 2016 to 2021, both genders will grow equally at a 0.8% CAGR.
India is home to around 18% of the world's population but accounts for only 2.42% of the total world area.
This bulk of the population is in rural areas, but there is insufficient land to provide sustainable livelihoods.
This is driving migration to urban centres in search of livelihoods, and economic mobility.
87
Urban population accounted for 17.3% of overall population in 1951 progressively increasing to 27.8% by
2001. This has subsequently increased to 29% as of 2008. Against an estimated overall population growth of
1.407% in 2010, the urban population is estimated to be growing at a rate of 2.4% annually over the period
2005-2010. The progressive shift towards urbanization will benefit the Hair and Beauty Salon industry
that is essentially an urban industry.
Other Trends
While the average man earlier went in only for a simple haircut, he is now become more conscious about his
appearance and is going for a wider range of services. This phenomenon is observed not just in the metros but
also in Tier- 2 and Tier-3 cities. For the organized sector in the industry, this translates to an increase in male
clients as also an increase in the average spends.
Men have started using fairness creams, visiting the salon for a facial, pedicure and manicure etc. The
increased advertising to this segment on the high viewership national TV channels has also served to increase
the beauty consciousness in men.
The range and choice of product brands available also drives the Hair & Beauty Salon industry. The
availability of new products has spawned new services in the industry. For example, the introduction of
various high quality and safe hair colouring products has triggered the growth of hair colouring services as
against the earlier sedate hair dyeing for grey / white hair. The availability of trusted and safe branded products
has also helped assuage consumer concerns on that front before going in for salon services.
It is also important to note that the product brands have highly differentiated positioning and target consumers,
enabling consumers to identify products that better match their individual needs.
• Emergence of One-Stop-Shop
Industry players are finding that locating service outlets at malls helps despite the associated high realty costs.
It aligns them with changing customer preferences. The location also provides a good atmosphere conducive to
impulse purchase of their products and services. Very importantly, malls bring in footfalls that are better
aligned with the players’ target segments. It provides opportunities to the industry player to entice new
customers through spot offers of makeovers and free consultations. Lastly, as mentioned the player is able to
get high brand visibility.
Industry players are currently exploring multiple new channels from niche single service stores to complete
one stop stores to offer a variety of wellness based products and services.

We believe that the following are our competitive strengths which have been contributing to our consistent growth
and our current position in the industry.
89
Strong brand and geographic presence
Our brand is our promoter Mr. Jawed Habib Akhter, whose passion has been the driving force for the Company.
He has worked extensively at grass root levels to grow as a professional organized player in this highly
unorganized industry and established number of outlets across India which provides professional hair care and
beauty care solutions. His achievements like entering into Limca Book of world records, association with sunsilk
as a brand ambassador and association as a brand ambassador with Panasonic for its hair care products, etc. have
spread recognition of our brand and hence, today, we are one of the few recognised brands in the country in our
segment of industry. Our brand “Jawed Habib” known for consistent standardized quality offerings has a good
brand recall which helps in breaking the competitive clutter within the industry.
We have an extensive network of exclusive brand outlets for our brands “Jawed Habib Hair & Beauty” and
“Jawed Habib HairXpreso” which are spread across the metros, tier I, tier II and tier III towns of India. As of date
the Jawed Habib brand provides hair cut and beauty services through 184 exclusive brand outlets. We have an
established network in north/western/eastern India. We have also opened our exclusive outlets in southern India
and are working towards expanding our presence there. We have executed letters of intent / MoU’s with a number
of potential franchisees across various locations where we plan to open our exclusive brand outlets. The wide
coverage of our exclusive brand outlets from metros to tier III towns and through the various regions in India
allows us to exploit this highly unorganized market and strengthens our visibility.
We have over a period of time developed a scientific training methodology under the guidance of our founder Mr.
Jawed Habib Akhter who personally trains the faculty who in turn train the aspirants in hair care and cosmetology.
We believe systematic and scientific training is essential for success in this hair and beauty care industry as
consumers are increasingly becoming quality conscious across all cities. We understand that in order to achieve
success in this fiercely competitive and unorganised market, we need to have specific skill set to understand the
ever changing customer requirement which should be acquired through a systematic training. We believe this
training methodology plays a key role in providing skilled personnel to our franchisees and ensures smooth
operations at each of our outlets. Our training indeed is a catalyst for transformation of hair and beauty services
into a respected profession and this is evident from the growth in number of academies.
The Company is managed by a team of experienced and professional managers, exclusively focused on different
aspects of the hair and beauty care industry such as selection of a location and franchisee, developing of skilled
manpower, provision of quality hair care and other cosmetic services, supervising the entire network of outlets
logistics and finance. Our promoter and management have substantial experience in this sector. In our business,
identification of optimal location for our outlets and managing logistics are the key growth drivers. The proactive
and aggressive approach of our management team towards the above core factors has led to the growth of the
Company from 37 exclusive brand outlets (as of March 31, 2007) to 225 exclusive brand outlets as of date.
Growth Strategies
We intend to pursue the following strategies in order to consolidate our position and grow further:
In a fragmented Hair and Beauty care industry, where the demand for quality services is high given increase in
income levels, consumerist lifestyles, urbanization, etc. while the supply is largely unorganised and non-
standardized, we believe there are opportunities available within the industry. Though majority of the industry is
unorganized, the pie for organized players like us is growing as unorganized players lack the required resources to
meet the rising demand. Therefore, we with our requisite systems in place would strive to further expand across
the country to tap the highly unorganized segment.
90
Brand promotion
We are constantly looking for opportunities to promote our brand on a nationwide platform. We have entered into
advertising agreement with Brand Equity Treaties Limited for promotional activities through different media.
Further, we intend to pursue advertising activities vide creative execution, film production, planning,
programming implementation and reviewing campaign with an objective of strengthening our brand. We believe
by promoting our brand through various modes of advertisement will further enhance our brand visibility and
revenues.
Process optimisation
Our wide network of salons and further expansion of the same requires a complete synchronization of processes,
information, services, etc. on a regular basis. Adequate information and regulation of franchisees will enable us to
achieve operational efficiency which we believe will fuel the growth and reduce leakages in the system. We have
entered into a short term agreement with TCS for management of operations. However going forward, we believe
that we should have ERP systems customized to our requirements, will help us in optimizing the processes in
terms of activity flows. The proposed ERP system will have the features like remote salon management, plotting
of locations for salons, non deletion of bills, employee/workforce management, etc. which can standardize the
processes and enables smooth functioning the entire network.
Increase geographic penetration by spreading the network of exclusive brand outlets and academies
We intend to focus on maintaining and reinforcing the image of our existing exclusive brand outlets and also
introduce our outlets to new geographic areas that are presently less familiar with our services. For the “Jawed
Habib” brand, we have an established network in western /north/eastern India and are rapidly consolidating our
network in southern India. We have also opened our exclusive outlets in southern India and are working towards
expanding our presence there. Further, we have launched “Jawed Habib HairXpreso” brand which will cater to all
segments of customers and who are brand as well as cost conscious. We plan to consolidate our presence across
all regions in India and all segments of customers by customizing our services under different brands like “Jawed
Habib Signature”, “Jawed Habib BeautyXpreso”, etc.
The Company believes that inorganic growth opportunities would be a “growth and value driver” in its future
strategic plans. We believe that attractive opportunities exist to increase revenues and earnings in our core
operations with acquisitions of similar and complementary service lines and businesses. In addition to our plans to
expand our franchisees in existing network, we also look forward to acquiring businesses with synergetic
possibilities for our services, operations and geographies. We intend to pursue these opportunities, in a disciplined
manner, to the extent that they become available. As part of the active management of our brand, we will also
continue to assess our brand portfolio and may choose to customize certain services over time.
We offer hair and beauty care services under two different salon brands viz. Jawed Habib Hair & Beauty and
Jawed Habib HairXpreso. We also run academies for hair styling & beauty with an objective to provide quality
training to the aspirants in the profession of cosmetology. In addition to this we have entered into a MOU with
MTPL for association of the Company with Barbie Salon at Hamleys Toy Store at Phoenix Mall, Lower Parel,
Mumbai and through this, the Company manages complete operational running of the Barbie salon including
managing personnel and training as required.
Our entire range of services include Haircut, Shave, Hair Styling, Blow dries, Hair Straightening, Chemical hair
treatments, Hair Colouring, Head Massage, SPA Treatment, Facial treatments (Gold, Bio Marine and Herbal,
etc.), Bleaching, Threading, Waxing, Manicures, Pedicures, Make up (Simple, Bridal, Reception, etc.), etc.
It’s full service salon and entire range of services is offered under this brand. A typical Hair & Beauty salon will
be spread over 500 sft and serviced by 7 competent and experienced personnel. Each salon has 4-8 styling
stations, 2-4 shampoo stations and 1-3 beauty therapy rooms.
91
The salons are equipped with the state of the art apparatus. Moreover, they are manned by professionals trained at
JHHBL’s own institute.
Approximate foot falls at these salons 10 per day and the average billing is approximately around ` 850
Looking at the current trends and customer price awareness and preference towards branded services, we have
come out with HairXpreso concept wherein we provide value for money dry and contemporary hairstyling
services for just ` 99. A HairXpreso salon will be around 100 to 300 sq ft in size and serviced by 3 competent and
experienced personnel. Each salon has 3-6 styling stations. We operate this brand through our subsidiary.
Operation Model
We operate through our own exclusive outlets and franchisee outlets. These salons are unisex catering to both
males and females and located in high traffic commercial areas with a transparent facade. The equipment in these
salons is at par with the best available in the market. The staff is thoroughly trained by professional technicians
and is always abreast with the latest international fashion trends.
The Company started with owned/joint venture model. We have changed the model from Company owned/joint
venture outlets to franchise outlets from the FY 2007-08. Majority of our outlets were converted to franchise
outlets by the end of the FY 2009-10. As of now, majority of the outlets are operated through franchisees.
With the growth in number of outlets and regions, we decided to follow a two pronged strategy viz. based on
geographical regions. Entire country was segregated into territories and each territory was licensed to master
franchises who would act as promoter manager to nurture and manage the said territory. Master franchise earns by
selling unit franchises in their allotted territories and collecting onetime fee and monthly royalties.
We provide franchisees operational assistance and know-how along with limited technical staff support.
Master franchisees should have infrastructure spread over 2000 - 2500 sq ft unit and Investment required is
approximately ranges from ` 25 lakhs to ` 200 lakhs. This investment is towards non refundable fee to be paid by
master franchisee to the Company.
Hair & Beauty Salons franchisees should have infrastructure spread approximately over 500 sq ft unit and
Investment required is approximately ` 7.5 lakhs. This investment is towards non refundable fee to be paid by unit
franchisee to the Company.
The Company has entered into an agreement with TATA Business Support Services Limited (TBSS) on July 08,
2010 wherein TBSS provides the following call center services in two languages viz. English and Hindi and from
10 am to 7 pm, 7 days a week. Call Center offer services like appointment setup, complaints, feedback, locator,
price/terms & conditions, schemes & conditions and outbound marketing for clients. Call center services for
franchisees include enquiry & info dissemination, profile & assessment capture, evaluation workflow trigger,
appointment setting, outbound starter checklist call and complaints/support.
• One of the leading Indian Brands in hair styling and hair care;
• Our Staff is trained to assist with managing and operating the salon;
92
• Stores receive powerful national and regional advertising;
Training Academy
We believe that the Indian market is under-served in terms of the range of hair and beauty services, and the quality
of such services. There is an acute shortage of skilled talent available. With a vision to professionalize the art of
hair styling in India and provide scientific and systematic training to aspirants wishing to pursue a career in
cosmetology, The Company has established Jawed Habib Professional Institute (the “Institute”). Our institute is an
academy for art, creativity and passion of hairstyling and is a catalyst for transformation of hair and beauty
services into a respected profession.
The training academies allow us to exploit the growing need in the industry, and provide a ring-side view to
identify and retain the better talent for our own franchise network. The training infrastructure also helps us to run
courses for our franchisee’s crew of hair and beauty stylists, upgrading talent and ensuring standardization and
quality in services offered. Our institute trains over 1000 stylists every year out which majority of them is
absorbed by the Company and some of them have been readily accepted by leading salons across India.
As of date, the Company has 41 Institutes (owned and franchised) with an average of 1,000 students per year in
locations including Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Siliguri, Nagpur, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Jaipur,
Indore, Ahmedabad, Baroda, Surat, Lucknow, Patna, Guahati and Kolkata, etc.
The Institutes provide following variety of courses to meet individual requirements. Duration of course range from
a full time six months professional course to short one week courses on specialized aspects of cosmetology.
Course Duration
All of the above courses involve a combination of theoretical and practical instructions and are imparted by
experienced faculty members. Faculty also uses the recorded visual lectures of our promoter to guide students.
Our students are guided along an education pathway that creates links among theory and practice, logic and
competitive experimentation, strategy and pragmatism. All theory lessons held in our seats are always carried
through creative sessions, workshops and collaboration. These activities are an integrated part of our training
programmes with the set goal of providing our students with a concrete and realistic vision of the working world.
Advertising and brand promotional activities are key aspects in a service industry like ours. We believe that each
of our franchisee is our brand ambassador and we have taken effective steps ensuring success of frachisees
whether in terms of providing necessary training, personnel support and technological support to sustain the
interest, motivation and commitment. We have entered into MoU with IOC to set up hair and beauty salons at
various retail outlets of IOC in the state of Maharashtra and also we have licensed Global CIP Sdn Bsd to use our
hair and beauty course material for teaching of aspirants for entire Asia-Pacific region except India. Similarly, we
have entered into various other agreements and MOUs as described above to increase our reach and visibility.
93
Competition
Around 90% of the industry in which we operate is unorganized. Lack of organization prevents the unorganized
sector from recognising the growth opportunity. We have made conscious efforts to tap this growth by organising
ourselves and have established our presence across various cities in India.
While the competition is largely from unorganized segment, we considered the competitive basis in the organized
segment as brand strength, product and service range, location and reach, presence of back-end training academy
and other differentiating strengths. The existing large unlisted competitors in the industry are primarily Indian
players like VLCC, Shanaz Hussain, Lakme Beauty Salon, etc. but global ones have started to accelerate their
focus on the Indian markets.

We do not own any property. However, we have acquired office premises on leave and license and lease basis,

Human Resources
Our employees are key contributors to the success of our business. We run training academies across various parts
of India through own and franchises’ outlets where our potential salon staff undergoes intense training in soft
skills and service delivery. We view this process as a necessary tool to maximize the performance of our
employees. Our workforce consists of permanent managerial and other administrative personnel of the Company
and salon staff of the Company. Our franchises also employ salon staff at their respective locations.
• Permanent Employees: We have a core team of managers which is involved in identifying potential new
locations and overall management of the expansion of outlets. We conduct periodic reviews of our
employee’s job performance and determine salaries and discretionary bonuses based upon these reviews.
• Contractual Staff: The staff at the salons is on the payrolls of various franchises with whom we have
exclusive arrangement for sourcing the manpower. All the general trainers and stylists are sourced from
these academies.
Technology
We believe that management and integration of operations at various locations of our franchises with the
Company requires optimum technological infrastructure. As of now we have entered into a short term agreement

KEY INDUSTRY REGULATIONS AND POLICIES
The following description is a summary of the relevant regulations and policies as prescribed by the Government
of India, Government of Maharashtra, and the respective bye laws framed by the local bodies in Mumbai, and
others incorporated under the laws of India. The information detailed in this chapter has been obtained from the
various legislations and the bye laws of the respective local authorities that are available in the public domain.
The regulations and policies set out below are not exhaustive and are only intended to provide general
information to the investors and are neither designed nor intended to be a substitute for professional advice.
Labour Laws
Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 ("EPFA") was introduced with the object to
institute compulsory provident fund for the benefit of employees in factories and other establishments. The EPFA
provides for the institution of provident funds and pension funds for employees in establishments where more than
20 persons are employed and factories specified in Schedule I of the EPFA. Under the EPFA, the Central
Government has framed the "Employees Provident Fund Scheme", "Employees Deposit-linked Insurance
Scheme" and the "Employees Family Pension Scheme". Liability is imposed on the employer and the employee to
contribute to the funds mentioned above, in the manner specified in the statute. There is also a requirement to
maintain prescribed records and registers and filing of forms with the concerned authorities. The EPFA also
prescribes penalties for avoiding payments required to be made under the abovementioned schemes.
The Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 provides for payment of gratuity to employees employed in factories, shops
and other establishments who have put in a continuous service of five years, in the event of their superannuation,
retirement, resignation, death or disablement due to accidents or diseases. The rule of ‘five year continuous
service’ is however relaxed in case of death or disablement of an employee. Gratuity is calculated at the rate of 15
days wages for every completed year of service with the employer. Presently, an employer is obliged for a
maximum gratuity payout of ` 350,000 for an employee.
The Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 (the “ESI Act”) provides for certain benefits to employees in case of
sickness, maternity and employment injury. All employees in establishments covered by the ESI Act are required
to be insured, with an obligation imposed on the employer to make certain contributions in relation thereto. In
addition, the employer is also required to register itself under the ESI Act and maintain prescribed records and
registers.
Pursuant to the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, as amended, an employee in a factory or in any establishment where
20 or more persons are employed on any day during an accounting year, who has worked for at least 30 working
days in a year is eligible to be paid a bonus. Contravention of the provisions of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965
by a Company is punishable with imprisonment or a fine, against persons in charge of, and responsible to the
Company for the conduct of the business of the Company at the time of contravention.
The object of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 is to prevent exploitation of contract
labour and also to introduce better conditions of work. A workman is deemed to be employed as Contract Labour
when he is hired in connection with the work of an establishment by or through a Contractor. Contract workmen
are indirect employees. Contract Labour, by and large is not borne on pay roll nor is paid directly. The Contract
Workmen are hired, supervised and remunerated by the Contractor, who in turn, is remunerated by the
Establishment hiring the services of the Contractor.
96
Apprentices Act, 1961
The Apprentices Act, 1961 was enacted to regulate and control the programme of training of apprentices and for
matters connected therewith. The term 'apprentice' means "a person who is undergoing apprenticeship training in
pursuance of a contract of apprenticeship". While, 'apprenticeship training' means "a course of training in any
industry or establishment undergone in pursuance of a contract of apprenticeship and under prescribed terms and
conditions which may be different for different categories of apprentices". The Act applies to areas and industries
as notified by Central government.
The Equal Remuneration Act, 1976 aims to provide for the payment of equal remuneration to men and women
workers and for the prevention of discrimination, on the ground of sex, against women in the matter of
employment and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto. According to the Act, the term
'remuneration' means "the basic wage or salary and any additional emoluments whatsoever payable, either in cash
or in kind, to a person employed in respect of employment or work done in such employment, if the terms of the
contract of employment, express or implied, were fulfilled". Nothing in this Act shall apply:- (i) to cases affecting
the terms and conditions of a woman's employment in complying with the requirements of any law giving special
treatment to women; or (ii) to any special treatment accorded to women in connection with the birth or expected
birth of a child, or the terms and conditions relating to retirement, marriage or death or to any provision made in
connection with the retirement, marriage or death.
The Minimum Wages Act, 1948 provides for fixation and enforcement of minimum wages in respect of scheduled
employments. The Act aims to prevent sweating or exploitation of labour through payment of low wages by
ensuring a minimum subsistence wage for workers. The Act also requires the appropriate government (both at
Centre and States) to fix minimum rates of wages in respect of employments specified in the schedule and also
review and revise the same at intervals not exceeding five years.
The Workmen’s Compensation Act is the first piece of legislation towards social security. It deals with
compensation for workers who are injured in the course of duty. The scheme of the Workmen’s Compensation
Act is not to compensate the worker in lieu of wages. The general principle is that a worker who suffers an injury
in the course of his employment, which results in a disablement, should be entitled to compensation and in the
case of a fatal injury his dependants should be compensated.
The object of the Act is to ensure regular and prompt payment of wages and to prevent the exploitation of a wage
earner by prohibiting arbitrary fines and deductions from his wages. The Act is not applicable to persons earning
wages of `6,500 per month or more. Wages include all remuneration, bonus, or sums payable for termination of
service, but do not include house rent reimbursement, light vehicle charges, medical expenses, TA, etc.
The purpose of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 is to regulate the employment of pregnant women and to ensure
that they get paid leave for a specified period during and after their pregnancy. It provides, inter alia, for payment
of maternity benefits, medical bonus and enacts prohibitions on dismissal, reduction of wages paid to pregnant
women, etc.
Maharashtra State Tax on Profession, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 1975
The professional tax slabs in India are applicable to those citizens of India who are either involved in any
profession or trade. The State Government of each State is empowered with the responsibility of structuring as
well as formulating the respective professional tax criteria and is also required to collect funds through
professional tax. The professional taxes are charged on the incomes of individuals, profits of business or gains in
vocations. The professional tax is charged as per the List II of the Indian Constitution. The professional taxes are
classified under various tax slabs in India. The State of Maharashtra has its own professional tax structure and tax
97
will be levied on every person who exercises any profession or calling or is engaged in any trade or holds any
appointment, public or private, or is employed in any manner in state is liable to pay the profession tax at the
specified rate provided that no tax shall be payable by the person who have attained sixty five year of age and
handicapped person with more than 40% disability or parent of a physically disabled or mentally retarded child.
The tax payable in this Act by any person earning a salary or wage shall be deducted by his employer from the
salary or wages payable to such person before such salary or wages is paid to him, and such employer shall,
irrespective of whether such deduction has been made or not when the salary and wage is paid to such persons, be
liable to pay tax on behalf of such person and employer has to obtain the registration from the assessing authority
in the prescribed manner. Every person liable to pay tax under this Act (other than a person earning salary or
wages, in respect of whom the tax is payable by the employer), shall obtain a certificate of enrolment from the
assessing authority.
The Maharashtra Labour Welfare Act provides for the constitution of a fund for the financing of activities to
promote welfare of labour in the state of Maharahstra. It includes every employee, including employee through
contractor, but not a managerial capacity or supervisor capacity drawing more than 3500/- p.m.
Under the Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act, 1946 every establishment employing more than 50
employees is required to formulate rules and regulations for its employees and the same should be submitted for
approval to the Deputy Labour Commissioner.
Under the Act, all establishments are required to intimate vacancies in the different departments to the
employment exchange prior to conducting the necessary recruitment. However, under the Act only intimation is
mandatory, not the filling up of such vacancies. Further, the Act also requires the establishments to file quarterly
and bi annual returns with the concerned authorities.
Intellectual property
Trademarks
The Trade Marks Act governs the statutory protection of trademarks in India. Indian trademarks law permits
registration of trademarks for goods and services. Certification trademarks and collective marks are also
registrable under the Trade Marks Act. An application for trademark registration may be made by any person
claiming to be the proprietor of a trademark and can be made on the basis of either current use or intention to use a
trademark in the future. The registration of certain types of trademarks are absolutely prohibited, including
trademarks that are not distinctive and which indicate the kind or quality of the goods.
Applications for a trademark registration may be made for in one or more classes. Once granted, trademark
registration is valid for ten years, unless cancelled. The registration can be renewed for further period of ten years.
If not renewed after ten years, the mark lapses and the registration for such mark have to be obtained afresh.
While both registered and unregistered trademarks are protected under Indian law, the registration of trademarks
offers significant advantages to the registered owner, particularly with respect to proving infringement. Registered
trademarks may be protected by means of an action for infringement, whereas unregistered trademarks may only
be protected by means of the common law remedy of passing off. In case of the latter, the plaintiff must, prior to
proving passing off, first prove that he is the owner of the trademark concerned. In contrast, the owner of a
registered trademark is prima facie regarded as the owner of the mark by virtue of the registration obtained.
98

Service Tax
Service tax is charged on ‘taxable services’ as defined in Chapter V of Finance Act, 1994, which requires a
service provider of taxable services to collect service tax from the recipient of such services and pay such tax to
the Government. According to Rule 6 of the Service Tax Rules, every assesse is required to pay service tax in TR

The Competition Act 2002 (the “Competition Act”) aims to prevent anti-competitive practices that cause or are
likely to cause an appreciable adverse effect on competition in the relevant market in India. The Competition Act
regulates anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position and combinations. The Competition Act,
although enacted in 2002, is being brought into force in a phased manner. Provisions relating to anti-competitive
agreements and abuse of dominant position were brought into force with effect from May 20, 2009 and thereafter
the Competition Commission of India (the “Competition Commission”) became operational from May 20, 2009.
Sections 5 and 6 (dealing with combinations, mergers and acquisitions) are yet to be notified, by the GoI.
The Competition Act also provides that the Competition Commission has the jurisdiction to inquire into and pass
orders in relation to an anti-competitive agreement, abuse of dominant position or a combination, which even
though entered into, arising or taking place outside India or signed between one or more non-Indian parties, but
causes an appreciable adverse effect in the relevant market in India. Recently, the Lok Sabha has passed a bill to
transfer the pending monopolies and restrictive trade practices cases under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 to
the Competition Appellate Tribunal. Once this bill is notified the Competition Appellate Tribunal will take up the
99
pending cases of unfair trade practices under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. This bill will replace the
ordinance which was introduced on October 14, 2009 to make the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practice
Commission non functional.
The Indian Contract Act codifies the way in which a contract may be entered into, executed, implementation of
the provisions of a contract and effects of breach of a contract. A person is free to contract on any terms he
chooses. The Contract Act consists of limiting factors subject to which contract may be entered into, executed and
breach enforced. It provides a framework of rules and regulations that govern formation and performance of
contract. The contracting parties themselves decide the rights and duties of parties and terms of agreement.
The Specific Relief Act is complimentary to the provisions of the Contract Act and the Transfer of Property Act,
as the Act applies both to movable property and immovable property. The Act applies in cases where the Court
can order specific performance of a contract. Specific relief can be granted only for purpose of enforcing
individual civil rights and not for the mere purpose of enforcing a civil law. ‘Specific performance’ means Court
will ask the party to perform his part of agreement, instead of asking him to pay damages to other party.
The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 seeks to provide better protection of interests of the consumers and for that
purpose to make provision for establishment of consumer councils and other authorities for the settlement of
consumer’s disputes and for matters connected therewith. It seeks to promote and protect the rights of consumers.
To provide steady and simple redressal to consumers’ disputes, a quasi-judicial machinery is sought to be set up at
the district, state and central levels. The quasi-judicial bodies will observe the principles of natural justices and
have been empowered to give relieves of a specific nature and to award wherever appropriate compensation to
consumers. Penalties for non-compliance of the orders given by the quasi-judicial bodies have also been provided.
This is a State specific legislation and each State has framed its own rules for the Act. The State Government can
exempt any establishment from all or any provisions of this Act either permanently or for a specified period.
Establishments are required to be registered under the provisions of local shops and establishments legislations
applicable in the states in which such establishments are set up. The provisions of this legislation are applicable to
all persons employed in an establishment, whether with or without wages, the only exception being that of the
members of the employer's family.
The Company having its registered office at Mumbai, Maharashtra the provisions of the Bombay Shops and
Establishments Act, 1948 are applicable to the Company and the Company is registered under the Act.
The Company and its franchisees are also governed by various other Shops and Establishments Acts as applicable
in the states where we have our salons. The following, among others, are the acts and rules and regulations
thereunder, as are applicable to our salons:
100
• The Rajasthan Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1958;
• The Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishment Act 1947;

virtual certainty that such deferred tax asset can be realised against future taxable profits.
The carrying amount of Company’s assets including intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s
recoverable amount is estimated, as the higher of the net selling price and the value in use. Any impairment
loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

equity shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period are adjusted for
the effects of all dilutive potential equity shares.

charges. In the same year the share of revenue component has gone up from `12.47 lakhs in the FY 2009 to

higher because the operating expenses of running the outlets were borne by the franchises and not by the

outlets have reduced from `427.60 lakhs in the FY 2009 to `134.32 lakhs in the FY 2010, showing a reduction of
68.59%. The reduction was primarily due to change in operating model from joint venture/company owned salons

substantial reduction in stipend given to trainee.
182
Finance Charges:
Finance charges increased from `76.23 lakhs for the FY 2009 to `80.16 lakhs for the FY 2010 showing an

We have gone through three phases of operating model. We have started from completely company owned/joint
venture model to the equal mix of both company owned and franchise and currently we are skewed towards
franchise base model. These phase shifts are done to ensure Company not only keep moving up the ladder on
increasing profit margins but also to ensure that the growth is maintained at a higher level. However, the effect of
quick changes in the model is reflected in the negative cash flows.
In the FY 2007, when the Company was opening owned/joint venture, there was a huge capital investment in
terms of security deposits and interiors. At the same time, there were pressure of salaries and rents, this primarily
lead to to negative cash flow situation in the FY 2007. To address this huge capital requirement, the Company
raised funds by diluting equity (in the form of share application money) and unsecured loan. We have purchased
fixed assets like interiors, salon and office equipment, furniture and computers.
In the FY 2008, the cash generated from operations become positive though the Company had made losses. Some
of the business proposals/plans of the Company that were initiated in FY 2007 did not work out and hence part of
the advances & deposits given in FY 2007 were returned to the Company. At the same time, majority of the equity
raised by way of application money in the FY 2007 had been refunded.
Further, the Company has taken secured loans to the tune of `108.98 lakhs to meet the working capital
expenditure requirements.
187
Fiscal year 2009
Cash generated from operation has become negative as the Company continued to make investment in the
business by opening new outlets and aggravated by increase in debtors.
The Company has purchased fixed assets like disel generator motor , office and salon equipment and paid master
franchisees to Clara International, a Malaysian aesthetic brand for exlusively using their brand name/knowledge to
build aesthetic academies in our Country.
The Company has also taken unsecured loans from body coporates and banks for funding expansion
The Company slowly started reaping the benefits of change in operational model from Company owned/joint
venture model to franchise model and hence cash generated from operation has become positive despite increase
in debtors compared to the previous year.
The Company invested a small amout on purchasing of furniture and computers. The negative cash flow from
financing activites is mainly due to repayment of loans.
The cash flow from operations has become negative and from financing activities has become positive in this
period mainly because of the following business expansion plans of the Company during the same period.
1. The Company has paid an advance of `1200 lakhs to Brand Equity Treaties Limited for the pursose of
building the brand through advertising in various media and in turn issued covertible debentures to the
extent of the same amount.

advertising through ad films, hoardings, etc;

dematerialized form. In terms of the existing SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, the trading in the Equity Shares of the
Company shall only be in dematerialized form for all investors. Since trading of our Equity Shares will be in
dematerialized mode, the tradable lot is one Equity Share. Allotment of Equity Shares through the Issue will be
done only in electronic form in multiples of one Equity Share subject to a minimum Allotment of [●] Equity
Shares.
212
JOINT HOLDERS
Where two or more persons are registered as the holders of any Equity Shares, they shall be deemed to hold the
same as joint-tenants with benefits of survivorship.
In accordance with Section 109A of the Companies Act, the sole or first Bidder, along with other joint Bidder(s),
may nominate any one person in whom, in the event of death of the sole Bidder or in case of joint Bidders, death
of all the Bidders, as the case may be, the Equity Shares Allotted, if any, shall vest. A person, being a nominee,
entitled to the Equity Shares by reason of the death of the original holder(s), shall in accordance with Section
109A of the Companies Act, be entitled to the same advantages to which he or she would be entitled if he or she
were the registered holder of the Equity Share(s). Where the nominee is a minor, the holder(s) may make a
nomination to appoint, in the prescribed manner, any person to become entitled to Equity Share(s) in the event of
his or her death during the minority. A nomination shall stand rescinded upon a sale/transfer/alienation of Equity
Share(s) by the person nominating. A buyer will be entitled to make a fresh nomination in the manner prescribed.
A fresh nomination can be made only on the prescribed form available on request at the registered office of the
Company or with the Registrar.

Further, our Board may at any time give notice requiring any nominee to choose either to be registered himself or
herself or to transfer the Equity Shares, and if the notice is not complied with, within a period of 90 days, our
Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Equity
Shares, until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.
Since the allotment of Equity Shares in the Issue will be made only in dematerialized form, there is no need to
make a separate nomination with us. Nominations registered with the respective depository participant of the
applicant would prevail. If the investors require changing the nomination, they are requested to inform their
respective depository participant.

only on Business Days, i.e. Monday to Friday (excluding any public holiday). Bids by ASBA Bidders shall be

ISSUE PROCEDURE
The Issue is being made through a Book Building Process wherein at least 50% of the Issue will be allocated on a
proportionate basis to Qualified Institutional Buyers (“QIBs”). Further, not less than 15% of the Issue shall be
available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Non-Institutional Bidders and not less than 35% of the Issue
shall be available for allocation on a proportionate basis to Retail Individual Bidders, subject to valid Bids being
received at or above the Issue Price.
The Issuer undertakes to allot at least 50% of the Issue to Qualified Institutional Buyers and to refund full
subscription monies if it fails to make allotment to the Qualified Institutional Buyers.
Any Bidder may participate in the Issue through the ASBA process, by providing details of the respective bank
accounts in which the corresponding Bid Amounts will be blocked by the SCSBs. Bidders are required to submit
their Bids through the members of the Syndicate. ASBA investors intending to subscribe to the issue shall submit
a complete ASBA form to the designated branch of the SCSB. We, in consultation with the BRLM reserve the
right to reject any QIB Bid procured by any or all members of the Syndicate provided the rejection is at the time of
receipt of such Bids and the reason for rejection of the Bid is communicated to the Bidder at the time of rejection
of the Bid. In the cases of Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail Individual Bidders, the Company will have a right
to reject the Bids only on technical grounds.
ASBA Process
In accordance with the ICDR Regulations, all Bidders (including QIB Bidders) can participate in the Issue through
the ASBA process. ASBA Bidders shall submit an ASBA Bid-cum-Application Form either (i) in physical form to
the Designated Branch of an SCSB or (ii) in electronic form through the internet banking facility offered by an
SCSB authorizing blocking of funds that are available in the bank account (“ASBA Account”) specified in the
ASBA Bid-cum- Application Form used by ASBA Bidders. The SCSB shall block an amount equal to the Bid
Amount in the ASBA Account, on the basis of an authorization to this effect given by the account holder at the
time of submitting the Bid. The ASBA data shall be uploaded by the SCSB in the electronic bidding system of the
Stock Exchanges. The Bid Amount shall remain blocked in the ASBA Account until approval of the basis of
Allotment in the Issue by the Designated Stock Exchange and consequent transfer of the Bid Amount against the
allocated shares to the Public Issue Account, or until withdrawal or failure of the Issue or until withdrawal or
rejection of the ASBA Bid, as the case may be. Once the basis of Allotment is approved by the Designated Stock
Exchange, the Registrar to the Issue shall send an appropriate request to the Controlling Branch of the SCSB for
unblocking the relevant bank accounts and for transferring the requisite amount to the Public Issue Account. In case
of withdrawal or failure of the Issue, the blocked amount shall be unblocked on receipt of such information from
the BRLM and/or the Registrar.
Investors should note that allotment of Equity Shares to all successful Bidders will only be in the
dematerialized form. The Bid-cum-Application Forms and ASBA Bid-cum-Application Forms which do not
have the details of the Bidders’ Depository Account shall be treated as incomplete and are liable to be
rejected. Bidders will not have the option of being allotted the Equity Shares in physical form. Upon
allotment, the Equity Shares shall be traded only in the dematerialized segment of the Stock Exchanges.
Bidders (other than ASBA Bidders) shall only use the specified Bid-cum-Application Form bearing the stamp of a
member of the Syndicate for the purpose of making a Bid. Before being issued to the Bidders, the Bid-cum-
Application Form shall be serially numbered and date and time stamped and such form shall be issued in duplicate
signed by the Bidder. The Bid-cum-Application Form shall contain information about the Bidder, the price and the
number of Equity Shares that the Bidder wishes to Bid. The Bidders shall have the option to make a maximum of
three (3) Bids in the Bid-cum-Application Form and such options shall not be considered as multiple Bids. On
filing of the Prospectus with the RoC, the Bid-cum-Application Form shall be considered as a valid Application
Form. Upon completing and submitting the Bid-cum-Application Form to a member of the Syndicate, the Bidder is
deemed to have authorized the Company to make the necessary changes in the Red Herring Prospectus and the Bid-
cum-Application Form as would be required for filing the Prospectus with the RoC and as would be required by

make an application in the Issue, including uploading his or her or its Bid, blocking or unblocking of funds in the
ASBA Account and transfer funds to the Public Issue Account on receipt of instruction from the Registrar to the

to issue instructions to the Controlling Branch of the SCSBs to unblock the funds in the ASBA Account, upon

necessary changes in the Red Herring Prospectus and the ASBA Bid-cum-Application Forms as would be required
for filing the Prospectus with the RoC and as would be required by SEBI and/or the RoC after such filing, without

listed in any stock exchange in India only in favour of those entities which are regulated by any relevant regulatory
authorities in the countries of their incorporation or establishment subject to compliance of “know your client”
requirements. An FII or sub-account shall also ensure that no further downstream issue or transfer of any
instrument referred to hereinabove is made to any person other than a regulated entity.
Bids by SEBI Registered Venture Capital Funds and Foreign Venture Capital Investors

Equity Shares Bid for) in each option. The price and demand options submitted by the Bidder in the Bid cum
Application Form will be treated as optional demands from the Bidder and will not be cumulated. After
determination of the Issue Price, the maximum number of Equity Shares Bid for by a Bidder at or above the
Issue Price will be considered for allocation/ Allotment and the rest of the Bid(s), irrespective of the Bid Price,

2. The Bidder cannot Bid on another Bid cum Application Form after Bid(s) on one Bid cum Application Form

Bids at Different Price Levels and Revision of Bids
1. The Bidder can bid at any price within the Price Band. The Bidder has to bid for the desired number of Equity
Shares at a specific price. Retail Individual Bidders applying for a maximum Bid in any of the bidding options
not exceeding `200,000 may bid at Cut-Off Price. However, bidding at Cut-Off Price is prohibited for QIB,
Non-Institutional Bidders bidding in excess of `200,000 and such bids shall be rejected.
2. Retail Individual Bidders who bid at the Cut-Off Price agree that they shall purchase the Equity Shares at any
price within the Price Band. Retail Individual Bidders bidding at Cut-Off Price shall deposit the Bid Price
based on the higher end of the Price Band in the Escrow Account. In the event the Bid Price is higher than the
subscription amount payable by the Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at Cut off Price (i.e., the total number of
Equity Shares allocated in the Issue multiplied by the Issue Price), the Retail Individual Bidders who Bid at
Cut off Price, shall receive the refund of the excess amounts from the Escrow Account.
3. In case of an upward revision in the Price Band announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders and Bidders
who had Bid at Cut-off Price could either (i) revise their Bid or (ii) make additional payment based on the
higher end of the Revised Price Band (such that the total amount i.e., original Bid Price plus additional
payment does not exceed `200,000 for Retail Individual Bidders, if the Bidder wants to continue to Bid at Cut-
off Price), with the members of the Syndicate to whom the original Bid was submitted. In case the total amount
(i.e., original Bid Price plus additional payment) exceeds `200,000 for Retail Individual Bidders the Bid will
be considered for allocation under the Non- Institutional Portion in terms of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
If, however, the Bidder does not either revise the Bid or make additional payment and the Issue Price is higher
than the higher end of the Price Band prior to revision, the number of Equity Shares Bid for shall be adjusted
downwards for the purpose of Allotment, such that no additional payment would be required from the Bidder
and such Bidder is deemed to have approved such revised Bid at Cut-off Price.
4. In case of a downward revision in the Price Band, announced as above, Retail Individual Bidders who have
Bid at Cut-off Price could either revise their Bid or the excess amount paid at the time of bidding would be
refunded from the Escrow Account.
5. In the event of any revision in the Price Band, whether upwards or downwards, the minimum application size
shall remain [●] Equity Shares irrespective of whether the Bid Price payable on such minimum application is
not in the range of `5,000 to `7,000.
6. During the Bidding/ Issue Period, any bidder who has registered his or her interest in the Equity Shares at a
particular price level is free to revise his or her Bid within the Price Band using the printed Revision Form,
which is a part of the Bid cum Application Form.
7. Revisions can be made in both the desired number of Equity Shares and the Bid price by using the Revision
Form. The Bidder must also mention the details of all the options in his or her Bid cum Application Form or
earlier Revision Form. For example, if a Bidder has Bid for three options in the Bid cum Application Form and
he is changing only one of the options in the Revision Form, he must complete all the details of the other two
options that are not being revised, in the Revision Form. The members of the Syndicate will not accept
incomplete or inaccurate Revision Forms.
8. The Bidder can make this revision any number of times during the Bidding/ Issue Period. However, for any
revision(s) in the Bid, the Bidders will have to use the services of the same member of the Syndicate through
whom he or she had place the original Bid.
9. Bidders are advised to retain copies of the blank Revision Form and the revised Bid must be made only in such
Revision Form or copies thereof.
10. Any revision of the Bid shall be accompanied by payment in the form of cheque or demand draft for the
incremental amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward revision of the Bid. The excess amount, if any,
resulting from downward revision of the Bid would be returned to the Bidder at the time of refund in
accordance with the terms of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus. In case of the QIB Bidders, the members of the
Syndicate shall collect the payment in the form of cheque or demand draft or electronic transfer of funds
through RTGS for the incremental amount in the Bid Amount, if any, to be paid on account of the upward
revision of the Bid at the time of one or more revisions by the QIB Bidders.
11. When a Bidder revises his or her Bid, he or she shall surrender the earlier TRS and get a revised TRS from the
members of the Syndicate. It is the responsibility of the Bidder to request for and obtain the revised TRS,
which will act as proof of revision of the original bid.
12. The Company, in consultation with the BRLM, shall finalise the Issue Price within the Price Band, without the
prior approval of, or intimation to, the Bidders.
225
Electronic Registration of Bids
1. The Members of the Syndicate will register the Bids using the on-line facilities of the BSE and the NSE. There
will be at least one on-line connectivity in each city, where a stock exchange is located in India and where Bids
are being accepted.
2. The BSE and the NSE will offer a screen-based facility for registering Bids for the Issue. This facility will be
available on the terminals of the Members of the Syndicate and their authorized agents during the
Bidding/Issue Period. The members of the Syndicate can also set up facilities for off-line electronic registration
of Bids subject to the condition that they will subsequently upload the off-line data file into the on-line
facilities for book building on a regular basis. On the Bid/Issue Closing Date, the Members of the Syndicate
shall upload the Bids until such time as may be permitted by the Stock Exchanges.
3. The aggregate demand and price for Bids registered on the electronic facilities of the BSE and the NSE will be

5. A system generated TRS will be given to the Bidder as a proof of the registration of each of the bidding
options. It is the Bidder’s responsibility to obtain the TRS from the members of the Syndicate. The registration
of the Bid by the member of the Syndicate does not guarantee that the Equity Shares shall be allocated/
Allotted either by the members of the Syndicate or the Company.
6. Such TRS will be non-negotiable and by itself will not create any obligation of any kind.
7. In case of QIB bidders, members of the syndicate also have the right to accept the bid or reject it. However,
such rejection should be made at the time of receiving the bid and only after assigning a reason for such
rejection in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders, Retail Individual Bidders, Bids would not be rejected
except on the technical grounds mentioned beginning on page 234 of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus.
8. It is also to be distinctly understood that the approval given by the BSE and the NSE to use their network and
software of the online IPO system should not in any way be deemed or construed that the Draft Red Herring
Prospectus has been cleared or approved by the BSE and NSE; nor does it in any manner warrant, certify or
endorse the correctness or completeness of any of the contents of the Draft Red Herring Prospectus; nor does it
warrant that our Equity Shares will be listed or will continue to be listed on the BSE and NSE.
9. Only bids that are uploaded on the online IPO system of the BSE and NSE shall be considered for allocation/
Allotment. In case of discrepancy of data between the BSE or the NSE and the members of the Syndicate, the
decision of the BRLM based on the physical records of the Bid cum Application Forms shall be final and

client ID number provided by them in the Bid cum Application Form/ASBA Bid cum Application Form and as
entered into the electronic bidding system of the Stock Exchanges by the members of the Syndicate and the SCSBs
as the case may be, the Registrar to the Issue will obtain from the Depository, the demographic details of the
Bidders including the Bidder’s address, occupation and bank account details including the nine-digit Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition (“MICR”) code as appearing on a cheque leaf (‘Demographic Details’). These
Demographic Details would be used for giving refunds and allocation advice (including through physical refund
warrants, Direct Credit, NECS, NEFT and RTGS) or unblocking of ASBA Account or mailing of Allotment
Advice/CANs to the Bidders. It is mandatory to provide the bank account details in the space provided in the Bid
cum Application Form/ASBA Bid cum Application Form, and any Bid cum Application Form/ASBA Bid cum
Application Form that does not contain such details is liable to be rejected. Hence, Bidders are advised to
immediately update their bank account details and Demographic Details as appearing on the records of the
Depository Participant and ensure that they are true and correct. Failure to do so could result in delays in
dispatch/credit of refunds to Bidders or unblocking of ASBA Accounts at the Bidders’ sole risk and none of the
Company, the Syndicate, the Registrar to the Issue, the Escrow Collection Banks or the SCSBs shall have any
228
responsibility and undertake any liability for the same. Hence, Bidders should carefully fill in their Depository

Since these Demographic Details will be used for all correspondence with the Bidders, they are advised to update
the Demographic Details as provided to their Depository Participants. The Demographic Details given by Bidders
in the Bid-cum-Application Form/ASBA Bid-cum-Application Form will not be used for any other purposes by
the Registrar to the Issue.
By signing the Bid-cum-Application Form/ASBA Bid-cum-Application Form, the Bidder will be deemed to have
authorized the Depositories to provide, upon request, to the Registrar to the Issue, the required Demographic
Details as available on its records.
Allotment advice/CAN, refund orders and letters notifying the unblocking of the bank accounts of ASBA Bidders
would be mailed to the addresses of the Bidders as per the Demographic Details received from the Depositories.
Bidders may note that delivery of Allotment advice/CANs, refund orders and letters notifying the unblocking of
the bank accounts of ASBA Bidders may get delayed if such documents, once sent to the address obtained from
the Depositories, are returned undelivered. In such an event, the address and other details given by the Bidder in
the Bid-cum-Application Form and ASBA Bid cum- Application Form would be used only to ensure dispatch of
refund orders and letters notifying the unblocking of the bank accounts of ASBA Bidders, respectively. Please
note that any such delay shall be at the Bidder’s sole risk and none of the members of the Syndicate, the
Designated Branches of the SCSBs, the Company shall be liable to compensate the Bidder for any losses caused to
the Bidder due to any such delay or pay any interest for such delay. In case of refunds to Bidders other than
ASBA Bidders through electronic modes as detailed in the Red Herring Prospectus, Bidders may note that
refunds may get delayed if bank particulars obtained from the Depository Participant are incorrect.
Where no corresponding record is available with the Depositories that matches three parameters, namely, PAN of
the sole/First Bidder, the Depository Participant’s identification number (DP ID) and the client identification
number (Client ID), then such Bids are liable to be rejected.
Refunds, dividends and other distributions, if any, will be payable in Indian Rupees only at the prevailing
exchange rate and net of bank charges and/or commission. In case of Bidders who remit money through
Indian Rupee drafts purchased abroad, such payments in Indian Rupees will be converted into US Dollars
or any other freely convertible currency as may be permitted by the RBI at the rate of exchange prevailing
at the time of remittance and will be dispatched by registered post or if the Bidders so desire, will be
credited to their NRE accounts, details of which should be furnished in the space provided for this purpose
in the Bid cum Application Form. The Company will not be responsible for loss, if any, incurred by the
Bidder on account of conversion of foreign currency.

notifying the unblocking of the bank accounts of ASBA Bidders, the Demographic Details given on the Bid-cum-
Application Form/ASBA Bid-cum-Application Form should be used (and not those obtained from the Depository

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS
Bids may be made in single or joint names (not more than three). In the case of joint Bids, all refund payments will
be made out in favour of the Bidder whose name appears first in the Bid cum Application Form/ASBA Bid cum
Application Form or Revision Form/ASBA Revision Form. All communication will be addressed to the First
Bidder and will be dispatched to his or her address as per the Demographic Details received from the Depository.
Multiple Bids
A Bidder should submit only one Bid (and not more than one) for the total number of Equity Shares required. Two
or more Bids will be deemed to be multiple Bids if the sole or First Bidder is one and the same.
In this regard, the procedures which would be followed by the Registrar to the Issue to detect multiple applications
are given below:
1. All applications with the same name, age, status and first line address will be accumulated and taken to a
separate process file which would serve as a multiple master document.
2. In this master, a check will be carried out for the same PAN/GIR numbers. In cases where the PAN/GIR
numbers are different, the same will be deleted from this master.
3. The Registrar to the Issue will obtain, from the depositories, details of the applicant’s address based on the DP
ID and Beneficiary Account Number provided in the Bid cum Application Form/ ASBA Bid cum Application
Form and create an address master.
4. The addresses of all these applications in the multiple master will be strung from the address master. This
involves putting the addresses in a single line after deleting non-alpha and non-numeric characters i.e.
commas, full stops, hash etc. Sometimes, the name, the first line of address and pin code will be converted
into a string for each application received and a photo match will be carried out amongst all the applications
processed. A print-out of the addresses will be taken to check for common names. The applications with same
name and same address will be treated as multiple applications.
5. The applications will be scanned for similar DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers. In case applications
bear the same DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers, these will be treated as multiple applications.
6. Subsequent to the aforesaid procedures, a print out of the multiple master will be taken and the applications
physically verified to tally signatures as also father’s/husband’s names. On completion of this, applications
will finally be identified as multiple applications.
In case of a mutual fund, a separate Bid can be made in respect of each scheme of the mutual funds registered with
SEBI and such Bids in respect of more than one scheme of the mutual funds will not be treated as multiple Bids
provided that the Bids clearly indicate the scheme for which the Bid has been made.
For Bids from FII sub-accounts which are submitted under the same PAN but different demat numbers. Such Bids
will not be treated a multiple bids.
Bids on behalf of the Central or State Government, an official liquidator or receiver appointed by a court and
residents of Sikkim for which submission of PAN is not mandatory, the Bids will be scrutinised for DP ID and
Beneficiary Account Numbers. In case such Bids bear the same DP ID and Beneficiary Account Numbers, these
will be treated as multiple Bids and will be rejected.
The Company, in consultation with the BRLM, reserves the right to reject, in its absolute discretion, all or any
multiple Bids in any or all categories.
Pursuant to the circular MRD/DoP/Circ-05/2007 dated April 27, 2007, SEBI has mandated Permanent Account
Number (PAN) to be the sole identification number for all participants transacting in the securities market,
irrespective of the amount of the transaction with effect from July 2, 2007. Applications without this
information will be considered incomplete and are liable to be rejected.
233
The SEBI has exempted Bids on behalf of the Central or State Government officials and the officials appointed by
the courts from the abovementioned requirement in terms of a SEBI circular dated June 30, 2008 and has
exempted persons resident in the state of Sikkim from the abovementioned requirement (subject to the Depository
Participants collecting sufficient documentary evidence to verify that such persons are Sikkim residents) in terms
of a SEBI circular dated July 20, 2006.
It is to be specifically noted that Bidders should not submit the GIR number instead of the PAN, as the Bid
is liable to be rejected on this ground. With effect from August 16, 2010, the demat accounts of Bidders for
whom PAN details have not been verified shall be “suspended for credit” and no credit of Equity Shares pursuant
to the Issue will be made into the accounts of such Bidders.
With effect from July 1, 2005, SEBI had decided to suspend all fresh registrations for obtaining UIN and the
requirement to contain/quote UIN under the SEBI MAPIN Regulations/Circulars vide its circular MAPIN/Cir-
13/2005. However, in a recent press release dated December 30, 2005, SEBI has approved certain policy decisions
and has now decided to resume registrations for obtaining UIN’s in a phased manner. The press release states that
the cut off limit for obtaining UIN has been raised from the existing limit of trade order value of `100,000 to
`500,000 or more. The limit will be reduced progressively. For trade order value of less than `500,000, an option
will be available to investors to obtain either the PAN or UIN. These changes are, however, not effective as of the
date of the Red Herring Prospectus and SEBI has stated in the press release that the changes will be implemented
only after necessary amendments are made to the SEBI MAPIN Regulations.
In case of QIB Bidders, the Company in consultation with the BRLM may reject Bids provided that the reasons for
rejecting the same shall be provided to such Bidder in writing. In case of Non-Institutional Bidders and Retail
Individual Bidders, the Company has a right to reject Bids based on technical grounds. Consequent refunds shall
be made by cheque or pay order or draft and will be sent to the Bidder’s address at the Bidder’s risk.

Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (“MICR”) code. Hence, Bidders are advised to immediately update their
bank account details as appearing on the records of the Depository Participant. Please note that failure to do so
236
could result in delays in credit of refunds to Bidders at the Bidder's sole risk and none of the Company, the
Syndicate Members, the Escrow Collection Banks, the Registrar to the Issue, the BRLM shall have any
responsibility and undertake any liability for the same.
In the case of Bids from Eligible NRIs and FIIs, refunds, if any, will generally be payable in Indian Rupees only
and net of bank charges and/or commission. If so desired, such payments in Indian Rupees will be converted into
U.S. Dollars or any other freely convertible currency as may be permitted by the RBI at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the time of remittance and will be dispatched by registered post. The Company will not be
responsible for loss, if any, incurred by the Bidder on account of conversion of foreign currency.

centers specified by the RBI. This mode of payment of refunds would be subject to availability of
complete bank account details including the nine-digit MICR code as obtained from the Depository.

account number while opening and operating the demat account, the same will be duly mapped with the
IFSC Code of that particular bank branch and the payment of refund will be made to the applicants
through this method. The process flow in respect of refunds by way of NEFT is in an evolving stage and
hence use of NEFT is subject to operational feasibility, cost and process efficiency and the past
experience of the registrars to the initial public offerings. In the event NEFT is not operationally feasible,
the payment of refunds will be made through any one of the other modes as discussed above.

refunds, if any, through RTGS. Such eligible applicants who indicate their preference to receive refunds

borne by the applicant.

the nine-digit MICR code, the refund orders will be dispatched under certificate of posting for refund
orders, if any, of value less than `1,500 and through speed post or registered post for refund orders, if

(b) The total number of Equity Shares to be allotted to each category as a whole shall be arrived at on a
proportionate basis, which is the total number of Equity Shares applied for in that category (number of
Bidders in the category multiplied by the number of Equity Shares applied for) multiplied by the inverse of
the over-subscription ratio.
(c) Number of Equity Shares to be allotted to the successful Bidders will be arrived at on a proportionate basis,
which is total number of Equity Shares applied for by each Bidder in that category multiplied by the inverse

Each successful Bidder shall be allotted a minimum of [●] Equity Shares.
(e) If the proportionate Allotment to a Bidder is a number that is more than [●] but is not a multiple of one (which
is the market lot), the decimal would be rounded off to the higher whole number if that decimal is 0.5 or
higher. If that number is lower than 0.5, it would be rounded off to the lower whole number. Allotment to all
Bidders in such categories would be arrived at after such rounding off.
(f) If the Equity Shares allocated on a proportionate basis to any category are more than the Equity Shares
Allotted to the Bidders in that category, the remaining Equity Shares available for Allotment shall be first
adjusted against any other category, where the Allotted shares are not sufficient for proportionate Allotment to
the successful Bidders in that category. The balance Equity Shares, if any, remaining after such adjustment
will be added to the category comprising Bidders applying for minimum number of Equity Shares.

press notes and press releases issued from time to time, and FEMA and circulars and notifications issued
thereunder. While the Industrial Policy, 1991 prescribes the limits and the conditions subject to which foreign
investment can be made in different sectors of the Indian economy, FEMA regulates the precise manner in which
such investment may be made. Under the Industrial Policy, unless specifically restricted, foreign investment is
freely permitted in all sectors of Indian economy up to any extent and without any prior approvals, but the foreign
investor is required to follow certain prescribed procedures for making such investment. The government bodies
responsible for granting foreign investment approvals are FIPB and the RBI. Foreign investment limit is allowed
up to 100% under automatic route in the Company.
FIIs are permitted to subscribe to shares of an Indian company in a public offer without the prior approval of the
RBI, so long as the price of the equity shares to be issued is not less than the price at which the equity shares are
issued to residents.
The transfer of shares between an Indian resident and a non-resident does not require the prior approval of the
FIPB or the RBI, provided that (i) the activities of the investee company are under the automatic route under the
foreign direct investment (FDI) Policy and transfer does not attract the provisions of the SEBI (Substantial
Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997, as amended (ii) the non-resident shareholding is within
the sectoral limits under the FDI policy, and (iii) the pricing is in accordance with the guidelines prescribed by the

thereunder.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered, listed or otherwise qualified in any other
jurisdiction outside India and may not be offered or sold, and Bids may not be made by persons in any such
jurisdiction, except in compliance with the applicable laws of such jurisdiction.
The Equity Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws in the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States except pursuant to an

interest to or in the said shares, notwithstanding that the Company may have had notice of such equitable right, title
or interest or notice prohibiting registration of such transfer, and may have entered such notice, or referred thereto, in

Company shall nevertheless be at liberty to regard and attend to any such notice and give effect thereto if the Board
shall so think fit.
