🍛 At a Glance:
Madhusudan Masala Ltd, the IPO darling of the SME segment, just served up its FY25 thali — and on the surface, it’s looking delicious:
Profit: ₹15 Cr
EPS: ₹10.93
Revenue: ₹232 Cr
CMP: ₹190 (+12% today)
BUT… the balance sheet is spicier than expected. 👀

₹98 Cr of masalas lying in inventory?
₹3.2 lakh in cash 😬
Let’s taste-test these results with our signature EduInvesting masala blend — humour, hard numbers, and hawk-eyed audit notes.

🙇♂️ Key Managerial Personnel (KMP)
MD: Ramesh Bhai Masaledaar (name changed for flavour)
Auditor: Sarvesh Gohil & Associates — issued unmodified opinion, but the debt pile begs deeper inspection.
