1. Opening Hook
LawSikho walked into this concall doing something rare in public markets—admitting failure upfront. No spreadsheet gymnastics, no adjusted excuses. Revenue didn’t hit ₹50–60 crore. Sales scaling broke. Multiple times.
But instead of hiding behind “macro headwinds,” the CEO chose a different flex: “We failed, learned, and rebuilt the sales engine using AI.” From Manila, of all places, Ramanuj Mukherjee laid out a founder-led therapy session mixed with a product demo and a war cry for January.
This wasn’t a quarter about numbers—it was about process resurrection. The call oscillated between brutal honesty and wild ambition: AI counselors, US universities, IIT tie-ups, job platforms, and a “Holy Trinity” that sounds either visionary or dangerously complex.
Read on—because beneath the chaos lies a very asymmetric bet.
2. At a Glance
- Revenue miss admitted – Management didn’t sugarcoat the stumble. Respect.
- Base case ₹50 Cr next 6 months – Reset expectations, not dreams.
- EBITDA ₹8–10 Cr guided – Profitability still breathing.
- CAC at 35–37% – Painful, but allegedly fixable with AI.
- Promoter buying ongoing – Founder buying shares, not excuses.
