1. At a Glance – Insurance Broker or Corporate Thriller?
₹644 crore market cap. ₹94.5 share price. 23.4% return in 3 months. ROCE at 23.5%. ROE at 18.6%.
And then comes Q3 FY26 — Sales at ₹60.87 crore, PAT at ₹4.71 crore, up 53.9% YoY.
Not bad for a company that used to be called Sudev Industries and now wants to be a global insurance distribution powerhouse across India, Sri Lanka, Maldives and beyond.
Stock P/E sits at 32.2 versus industry median 37.5. EV/EBITDA at 13. Debt to equity 0.32. No dividend.
Oh, and just when things look stable — they propose voluntary delisting from Calcutta Stock Exchange (while staying on BSE). Because corporate life without drama is boring.
So the real question is — is this a serious compounding broker or a midcap with identity crisis and expansion fever?
Let’s audit the story.
2. Introduction – From Sudev to Global Insurance Ambitions
Incorporated in 1992. Started as something else. Evolved into insurance distribution. Rebranded. Acquired. Amalgamated. Raised funds. Issued ESOPs. Proposed delisting.
This company has had more plot twists than a daily soap.
Today, it positions itself as a diversified insurance distribution platform operating in India (96% revenue), Sri Lanka (3%), and Maldives (1%). It calls itself “PHY-GITAL” — physical plus digital.
Which basically means: “We sell insurance through people and screens.”
The company handles:
- Traditional insurance
- Reinsurance
- Specialty lines (Cyber, M&A, Financial Institutions)
- Wellness programs
- Advisory services
Revenue mix FY25:
- Motor: 33%
- Specialty lines: 27%
- Health & Life: 22%
- Fire & Engineering: 9%
- Others small slices
Corporate clients contribute 75% of gross written premium mix. Retail just 8%.
So this is not your friendly LIC agent. This is a corporate insurance broker trying to look global.
But here’s the real hook: They’re targeting 20%+ growth from FY26 onward through inorganic acquisitions.
Ambition? Yes.
Execution risk? Also yes.

3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Imagine you’re a large corporate.
You don’t wake up and say, “Hmm, today I will buy reinsurance and cyber coverage.”
You hire a broker.
IIRM acts as that broker. They don’t underwrite insurance. They distribute it. They structure policies. They
