Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Pune’s most dramatic real estate soap opera.
On one side, you have a company showing 1,224% revenue growth and 5,758% profit growth — numbers so explosive that even Bollywood action scenes look under-budget. On the other side, you quietly notice working capital days at 941 and suddenly this looks less like a blockbuster and more like a slow-burn thriller.
Revenue is jumping like a crypto chart in 2021. Profit margins are flexing like a gym influencer on Instagram. But cash flow? That guy didn’t even show up to the party.
And then there’s the cherry on top — multiple CFO resignations in a short span. One left. Replacement came. That replacement also left. Then another came. At this point, even musical chairs has more stability.
So what exactly is happening here?
Is this a hidden real estate gem quietly building wealth… Or a company that mastered the art of “profit on paper, stress in reality”?
Before you fall in love with those juicy margins, ask yourself:
Are we looking at wealth creation… or accounting creativity?
2. Introduction – Pune Real Estate Meets Solar Side Hustle
Suratwwala Business Group Ltd (SBGL) is essentially a Pune-based real estate developer with a side hustle in solar EPC and some brokerage-style services.
Translation in simple terms:
They:
Build buildings
Sell buildings
Rent buildings
Help others sell buildings
And occasionally install solar panels
Basically, if there’s land involved, they want a piece of it.
Now here’s the interesting part.
The company:
Migrated from BSE SME to Mainboard in FY24
Expanded land bank aggressively
Added solar EPC projects
Increased share capital
And kept announcing new projects like a startup pitching to VCs
Sounds ambitious, right?
But let’s pause.
Real estate is a sector where:
Revenue recognition can be… flexible
Cash flows can lag reality
And “future projects” are often used as storytelling tools
So when a small company suddenly shows massive growth…
Do you clap… or do you double-check the fine print?
3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?
Let’s decode this business like a detective trying to understand a scam email.
1. Real Estate Development (Main Game)
Residential projects
Commercial projects
IT parks
Villa communities
Revenue contribution:
92% from property sales
So yes, this is primarily a real estate company.
2. Solar Power (Side Quest)
Executes solar EPC projects
Works under:
EPC model
Power Purchase Agreements
Example:
Recently secured ₹43.5 Cr solar EPC order
So they’re basically saying:
“Why just build buildings when we can also put solar panels on them?”
3. Business Auxiliary Services (Fancy Brokerage)
Helps clients find buyers/tenants
Provides leasing support
Revenue:
Around 6%
Which is basically: “Brokerage but with corporate vocabulary.”
4. Rental & Misc Income
Renting:
Mobile tower space
Hoardings
Unsold units
Passive income… but tiny (~2%).
Now ask yourself:
Is this a focused business… Or a company trying to do everything real estate-related just to maximize revenue visibility?
