IPO helped Creative Graphics increase brand visibility, infuse capital – Pulkit Agrawal

The initial public offering (IPO) of Creative Graphics Solutions, one of India’s leading organized flexography ecosystem players, has received positive feedback from both foreign as well as reputed Indian investors. It has also helped the company increase its brand visibility and much-needed funds to upgrade its operations.

The retail portion of the Creative Graphics Solutions IPO opened for subscription from 28 March to 4 April 2024. The price band for the issue was fixed at Rs 80 to Rs 85 per share, and the lot size was 1,600 equity shares. Corporate Capital Ventures was the book-running lead manager, and Bigshare Services Private Limited was the registrar for the issue. Opening at the higher end of the price band at Rs 85, the share price was quoted above Rs 200 when last seen on 27 May 2024.

Talking to Packaging South Asia, Pulkit Agrawal, chief financial officer, Creative Graphics, said, “The IPO was basically for two reasons – firstly, to get more visibility and secondly, to give us capital infusion to continue to invest in new technology and upgrade our operations.”

The IPO gave the company greater visibility and credibility in the market. "We were already a known player in the printing and packaging segments but now many more know about us. A lot of businesses want to work with us as they think of us as a credible player,” he said, adding the IPO has brought the printing and packaging industry into the public eye.

A lot of people not directly associated with the industry now know about the value addition that the industry brings, he said, adding Creative Graphics has been in the flexography business for the past two decades and wants to continue participating in the growth path.

Before the IPO, Creative Graphics was a family-owned business when the promoters had almost all its shares, he said, adding the company listed the shares in the Rs 80-85 price band. The issue opened at the higher end at Rs 85 and right now (27 May 2024), the share price is above Rs 200.

The list of investors includes foreign as well as reputed Indian players, he said. “We have received a lot of positive feedback from investors. They have been very kind to us and have shown a lot of faith in the business, partly because of the industry that we are in and partly because of our vintage in the industry and the growth we have shown,” he said.

The funding will be used to fuel future growth. It is a technology-oriented industry and new technology keeps coming in now and then, he said. It is, thus, very important to continue investing in and exploring new technologies to stay ahead. “We also want to expand our operations and our customer base,” he added.

“The IPO is a wonderful route as it gives us a lot of power. However, it also brings a lot of responsibility because you are participating in a market where a lot of players are looking at you constantly. An ethical player who wants to run the business in the right way, who is transparent, and who has the right corporate governance, will always be appreciated by the market. For these players, I think, it will make a lot of sense to go for this route,” Agrawal said.

“A lot of SMEs in India are now growing thanks to government initiatives and the growing Indian economy. It is attracting a lot of talent, capital, and interest from global players. I think there is a bright future for India as a country.”

Agrawal said the printing and packaging segment will continue to grow as Indians rise in economic stature and their purchasing power increases. “We are confident and bullish about the Indian growth story. We expect that a lot more brands will be launched. For foreign players, the Indian market is becoming much more attractive compared to how it was 20 years ago or even a decade ago,” he added.

Creative Graphics specializes in manufacturing flexographic printing plates, including digital flexo plates, conventional flexo printing plates, letterpress plates, metal back plates, and coating plates. The company's customer base is spread out across India, Thailand, Qatar, Kuwait, Nepal, and Africa. It operates seven manufacturing facilities – Noida (Uttar Pradesh), Vasai, Pune (Maharashtra), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), Hyderabad (Telangana), and Ahmedabad (Gujarat).

Founded by Deepanshu Goel, a first-generation entrepreneur and incorporated in 2014, Creative Graphics has expanded its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries – Creative Graphics Premedia Private Limited (CG Premedia) and Wahren India Private Limited.

While CG Premedia offers end-to-end premedia services, from design adaptation to print production, Wahren India supplies high-quality packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. It produces alu-alu foil, blister foil, tropical alu-alu foil, CR foil, and pharmaceutical sachets.

The company clocked a revenue of Rs 131.5 crore and earned a profit (PAT) of Rs 10.8 crore in FY 2023-24. It registered revenue of Rs 90.14 crore and a profit (PAT) of Rs 8.64 crore in FY2022-23.

I love how in my dnd career some spells/ abilities come to be associated with particular campaigns in totally organic ways, and then at a certain point they’re a Motif Now imbued with thematic meaning and using them creates a thread to all the other times they’ve been used in that story. Fireball for Lights, lightning spells for Storm Kings, the corruption stuff in World Torn, feather fall and healing magic in Strahd, and now Command and Detect Thoughts in Unearthed Remnants. I love that discovery and meaning-making process and the fusion of practical mechanical problem-solving with narrative. I love dnd!!!!!

Creative Graphics Solutions India Limited IPO opens for retail investors today – 28 March 2024

Today, 28 March, the retail portion of the Creative Graphics Solutions IPO opens for subscription. The anchor portion of the public issue that opened yesterday has apparently received a good response from investors including financial institutions. 

On 22 March 2024, the Noida-headquartered Creative Graphics Solutions India Limited, one of India’s leading organized and integrated packaging ecosystem players, announced that its initial public offering (IPO) will open on Thursday, 28 March 2024. The anchor portion will be opened on Wednesday, 27 March 2024, and the issue will conclude on Thursday, 4 April 2024. The company intends to raise approximately Rs 54.4 crore (at the upper band) from the offering and aims to be listed on the NSE Emerge platform. The price band for the issue has been fixed at Rs 80 to Rs. 85 per share, and the lot size will be 1,600 equity shares.

Corporate Capital Ventures is the Book Running Lead Manager, and Bigshare Services Private Limited is the Registrar for the issue. According to the press release from Creative Graphics, Corporate Capital Ventures Private Limited has completed a string of successful SME IPOs in recent months, including Alpex Solar, Esconet Technologies, Rockingdeals, Accent Microcell, Oriana Power, Droneacharya and Crayons Advertising.

Creative Graphics is a product of the MSMEx SME IPO Cohort program, mentored by Amit Kumar, founder and CEO at MSMEx.

The Noida-based company’s IPO comprises a fresh issue of 64,00,000 Equity Shares with a face value of Rs 10 through the book-building route. As many as 3.2 lakh equity shares are reserved for the Market Maker, 9.12 lakh equity shares allocated for NIIs, 30.4 lakh equity shares for QIBs (including 18.24 lakh equity shares as the Anchor investor portion), and the Retail (RII) portion accounts for 21.28 lakh equity shares.

According to the Red Herring Prospectus document, the company intends to utilise the net proceeds from the IPO to meet the working capital requirements of the company, repay/prepay, in part or full of certain of the company’s borrowings, meet the capital expenditure of the company, fund inorganic growth through unidentified acquisition for the company, and general corporate expenses.

Creative Graphics specializes in manufacturing flexographic printing plates, including digital flexo plates, conventional flexo printing plates, letter press plates, metal back plates, and coating plates. The company serves its customer base in India, Thailand, Qatar, Kuwait, Nepal, and Africa. It operates seven manufacturing facilities in various states – Noida (Uttar Pradesh), Vasai, Pune (Maharashtra), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), Hyderabad (Telangana), and Ahmedabad (Gujarat).

Founded by Deepanshu Goel, a first-generation entrepreneur and incorporated in 2014, Creative Graphics has expanded its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries – Creative Graphics Premedia Private Limited (CG Premedia) and Wahren India Private Limited. While CG Premedia offers end-to-end premedia services, from design adaptation to print production, Wahren India supplies high-quality packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. It produces Alu-Alu Foil, Blister Foil, Tropical Alu-Alu Foil, CR Foil, and Pharmaceutical Sachets.

The company clocked a revenue of Rs 48.07 crore and earned a profit (PAT) of Rs. 7.24 crore during the first half (H1) of the current FY 2023-24 financial year, which ended 30 September 2023. It registered revenue of Rs. 90.14 crore and a profit (PAT) of Rs. 8.64 crore in FY2022-23.

Our take

We have known Creative Graphics for the past decade and have also admired its fast growth in establishing new plants across the country. We appreciate the need for companies in the printing and packaging industry to expand and raise capital for scaling up their operations. Creative Graphics' team has always been enthusiastic about vertical integration and diversification to new areas of packaging. The company’s IPO will hopefully open a path for other companies in the industry needing to raise capital for scaling up.

Engaging Paragraph: In a nod to the creative process, designers explore meta-design concepts that blur the lines between art and commentary, inviting audiences to contemplate the nature of visual communication itself. By incorporating self-referential graphics and meta-narratives, creatives infuse projects with layers of meaning and invite viewers to embark on a journey of interpretation.

6. Fluid and Organic Shapes

Engaging Paragraph: The cyberpunk aesthetic takes center stage, transporting viewers to a dystopian future where technology and humanity intertwine in mesmerizing ways. With its neon-lit cityscapes, glitchy overlays, and cybernetic motifs, cyberpunk-inspired designs evoke a sense of awe and intrigue, inviting audiences to explore alternative realities and question the boundaries of possibility.

8. Maximalism and Exuberant Designs

In contrast to the minimalist ethos of previous years, maximalism emerges as a dominant trend in 2024, with designers embracing bold colors, intricate patterns, and eclectic compositions. From maximalist branding to exuberant editorial layouts, this trend celebrates abundance and complexity, encouraging designers to push the boundaries of creativity.

Engaging Paragraph: Embracing the mantra of “more is more,” designers dive into the world of maximalism, crafting visually extravagant compositions that demand attention and spark joy. With their vibrant colors, intricate details, and playful juxtapositions, maximalist designs celebrate abundance and diversity, inviting viewers to revel in the richness of visual stimuli.

9. Emotional Design and Storytelling

In an era saturated with content, emotional design emerges as a powerful tool for creating meaningful connections with audiences. From storytelling through visual narratives to evoking empathy through design elements, this trend prioritizes emotional resonance, leaving a lasting impact on viewers and fostering brand loyalty.

Engaging Paragraph: Recognizing the importance of emotional engagement, designers harness the power of storytelling to forge deeper connections with audiences. By weaving narratives into visual compositions and leveraging emotive design elements, creatives evoke a range of emotions, from joy and nostalgia to empathy and inspiration, fostering meaningful interactions that resonate on a personal level.
