REPRO INDIA LTD: A Star in the making

The title is not said by me, but these were the words from Vijay Kedia sir.

Repro India is in the Printing & Stationery sector. The current market capitalisation stands at Rs 489.58 crore.

The company management includes Vinod Vohra - Chairman, Sanjeev Vohra - Managing Director, Mukesh Dhruve - Executive Director, Rajeev Vohra - Executive Director, Pramod Khera - Executive Director, Ullal R Bhat - Non Executive Director, Jamshed J Irani - Non Executive Director, P Krishnamurthy - Non Executive Director, Dushyant Mehta - Non Executive Director, Alyque Padamsee - Non Executive Director, Mahalakshmi Ramadorai - Non Executive Director, Bhumika Batra - Addnl.Non Exe.Independent Director. 


It is listed on the BSE with a BSE Code of 532687 and the NSE with an NSE Code of REPRO.


Its Registered office is at 11th Floor, Sun Paradise Business Plaza, B wing, Senapati Bapat Marg,,Lower Parel. Mumbai,Maharashtra - 400013.


Their Registrars are Link Intime India Pvt. Ltd.


Below are various points which I've found in forum.valuepick.com, I don't deserve any credits for this

Repro is the largest "print-on-demand" company. Its subsidary, Lightning Source, is the biggest print-on-demand company in the world. Their self-publishing company Lullu.com is also the biggest and they use lightning source too.


  1. Amazon also is in print on demand segment and even they could not compete against Ingram. Their self publishing company createspace is their play on print on demand. Publishers never went with Amazon because of the backstabbing they got when Amazon started decreasing the publishers royalty.
  2. Ingram has a massive portfolio and it will just keep on increasing as publishers find them honest and economically viable. Self publishing trends also will help them.
  3. Publishers find Ingram critical to their business model. Because of print on demand economics. A traditional publisher had to go to a printer and print thousands of books. The more books you print lower your fixed cost. Then these books will go to a distributor and he will sell it. If he can't, he sends back to publisher.
  4. Traditional publisher has massive working capital need. Also, if the distributor defaults he is quickly into loss
  5. With print on demand, the publisher has no inventory. Although the fixed cost is same for per product, the gains are much more if you compare it with cost of working capital and inventories
  6. And that's why most publishers are shifting or will have to shift to print on demand
  7. This trend would not have been possible if it wasn't for ecommerce. That was the inflection point for Ingram back in 2004.
  8. When a customer orders a book on amazon, Ingram gets that order on its system. It prints there and then and ships it to end customer. So Ingram only prints a book when it has an order from a customer.
  9. Going ahead, negative working capital shall emerge as the biggest moat for repro as it is for Ingram.
  10. For Ingram too, this tie up is due to compulsion. printing machines are costly so this is a high captital intensive business. Also, understanding the demographics and Indian environment this would have been very difficult. They have more than million books. They just have to convince the publisher and agree on a royalty arrangement for India market.
  11. Once repro, Ingram and the foreign publisher agree on royalty sharing agreement, repro just has to put the EPub files on its system which makes it available on Amazon and flipkart
  12. That's it. Whenever a customer orders, repro factory will print it and deliver in three days time to end customer. According to their concall they are working on one third of capacity and don't need to spend on capacity expansion.
  13. Listing of these massive titles should take one years time in my opinion.
  14. Rest of the business, exports, rapples, etc are just bad capital allocation decisions which management should reverse once print on demand takes off.
  15. My company is a customer of repro and we have seen massive impact on our India sales. To be honest, for an mnc like ours, without repro, this would not have been possible. We also work with lightning source in America and European market. So this agreement with Ingram gave us more confidence on their ability to deliver.
  16. Without Indian ecommerce growth, growth in print on demand would not have been possible as brick and mortar stores like crosswords lack such ability. They need physical books to display on their stores unlike Amazon which just has to write description of the book and a cover page. Repro is the best play on Indian ecommerce in my opinion rather than an expensive Infibeam stock which burns cash
  17. Amazon pays twice a week to repro so there is instant money on the sale. And repro pays the publisher weekly and sometimes monthly. So there is no credit period like traditional publishing.
  18. The growth in ebooks can be a threat. Although repro does have distribution rights, the major money is in their printing business. Our firm is into trade publishing and for the last ten years there has been no decrease in the sale of print books in American and European markets. Actually for the industry, ebooks sales have decreased in the last one year.
  19. With high device cost ebooks will find it difficult to penetrate in the Indian market. And there is a strong regional publishing market which will take even more time for this shift if at all the shift comes.
  20. Valuations aside, print on demand business, which management calls as one book business, is where the growth lies.
  21. Tie up with Ingram is similar to what investor must have seen with lubrizol- astral or pokarna-brettonwood tie up

Below is the video for the analysis made by Vijay Kedia and the analysis on Repro starts from 8:05


My analysis:

1) As per Vijay Kedia and Nelson's report Online book sales in 2020 should be around 17500 crore and Repro being the leader in the online book market by that time it should at least have a market share of 20% is what I believe, so sales of 3500 crore in 2020

2) As per Repro's management commentary and Nelson's report Online book sales in 2020 should be 7000-10000 crore, let us take it as 8000 crores and Repro's share around 20%, so sales of 1600 crore in 2020

3) As it is a light asset model and high margin business let us take in the worst case it makes a net profit margin of 15% (I believe it should be 20+), considering 1600 crores and 15% margin we come to PAT around 240 crores for 2020

4) In the worst case if we give a valuation to Repro around 1.5x sales, it would come to 2400 crore (1600 into 1.5) or 10x PAT (10 into 240) *Worst case*

Last quarter result:

Last quarter we can see that the company has finally made some turnaround with lower finance costs and better operations which I believe will continue growing Arithmetically or Geometrically or even Exponentially.

KATWA UDYOG LTD. CMP: 186.25

Katwa Udyog is in the Cement - Mini sector. The current market capitalisation stands at Rs 95.44 crore.

The company management includes H D Katwa - Chairman Emeritus, Venkatesh H Katwa - Chairman, Vilas H Katwa - Managing Director & CEO, Deepak Katwa - Executive Director & CFO, Narmada H Katwa - Non Executive Director, Nisha Maganur - Ind. Non-Executive Director, Satish Kalpavriksha - Ind. Non-Executive Director, Prajakta K Kulkarni - Ind. Non-Executive Director. 



It is listed on the BSE with a BSE Code of 530977.

Its Registered office is at 215/2, Jyothi Towers, 6th Cross,,Nazar Camp, Karbhar Galli, Belagavi,Karnataka - 590005.

Their Registrars are Canbank Computer Services Ltd.

1) Company has a sales growth of 23.24% for last 10 years and profit growth of 30.29% for last years, promoters hold a good 67.8% and dividend paying

2) Debt to equity has been continuously reducing for last 10 years

3) Company has completed expansion which will be adding to the top line

4) Below is the screenshot of its Q4 result (previous quarter), we can see that without the exceptional item (5.2 crore) and other expenses (4.7 crore) which are one off, if we don't consider them as these are one time cases, the profit would be around 9-10 crores. If we believe the company delivers similar performance in coming quarters then the profit would be around 40 crores for FY18, even if we take the profit as 30 crores in the worst case it would command a market cap of 15 times profit = 450 crores. 


5) Considering the increased demand in south for cement, recent expansion of the company and also increased prices of cement. Katwa udyog should be kept in one's watch list

Right Time To Buy Auto Stocks

What's the right time to buy Auto Stocks generally?



1) Company launching New models (company with the big bucket): Any Auto company which is having a good number of New and Innovative launches in the coming months is a definite buy, New Models = More choice, More Choice =  More Attraction, More Attraction = More Sales, More Sales = More Profits.

2) Festive seasons like Dussehra, because this is the time when most Hindu Indians feel buying any vehicle is good (Religious sentiments) and many companies will be giving offers, gifts, cash backs etc, so the number of vehicles sold in the month will be more than the previous months, More sales = More profits, but if the festive season is dull...stay away from the Auto stocks.

3) External factors (The most important factor): Crude oil prices, as the crude oil prices fall, Petrol, Diesel fuel rates falls, so the operation cost of the person who will own a vehicle falls, so he'll show more interest to buy new vehicle, and the manufacturing cost of the vehicle also reduces as the crude oil falls, like vehicle paints cost less etc, so the crude oil plays a major factor in Auto Stocks.

4) Mergers and Acquisitions or Management increasing its Stake: If a Auto Major merges or Acquires any other Auto manufacturing company or Auto components manufacturing company the stock raises to great heights, also when the Management increases its stake in the company the share price rises as it indicates more trust on the company from the management.

And what's the right time to sell a stock you are holding or to stay away from a Auto stock? When anything reverse to the above mentioned points happen.

Auto related major stocks list:
Maruti Suzuki
M&M
Hind Motors
Bajaj Auto
Hero Motocorp
TVS Motor
Atul Auto
Tata Motors
Eicher Motors
Ashok Leyland

Why this blog?

In todays world there are 2 main primary things needed to live a beautiful world, they are:
1) Money
2) Money

Yes, true! Money is the source for every thing which you want to achieve, then comes the question..how to achieve money?

There are many ways to earn money, for example: Job, Business, Sports, Lottery, Gambling..etc, what are the chances to win money from Lottery or Gambling? very close to zero and how much money could you earn by working (Normal Job)? 10-15 Lakhs per annum for a good decent job after getting an experience of some 7-8 years at least, there may be many exception to this if we go the higher side like people passing out from IIT's, IIM's or people moving to USA, UK etc.

This blog is mainly for the people who are living in the middle class or upper middle class families who wish to make more money with basic financial and economic knowledge, I know the importance of money in these families.

After many years...I realised that the best source for earning money is from Stock Market, believe me it's risky, I completely agree with that, but with some strong fundamental knowledge you can do miracles in the stocks investment.

There are many websites, many blogs which tells us how to open DMAT account, how to trade online, which brokerage charges the least brokerage etc, but is there any website which tells us what stocks to buy? I'm not interested in Intra day tips, I believe trading intra day is the quickest way to lose money! Always go long term with your own Money (This is the first step to success)

This blogs tells you..which stocks to hold for long term and why, stocks which you should NOT touch and impact of global economic conditions, bills which will be passing in the parliament, Latest Market updates on Indian stocks. Knowledge earning and sharing is the key to success.

My only inspiration behind starting investments in equities is..The Big Bull, Warren Buffet of India..none other than Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, hence the name bethenextrj. Lets get started...
