1. At a Glance
Alphalogic Industries Ltd, the proud supplier of shelves, racks, and mezzanines, has a market cap of ₹139 Cr and trades at a P/E ratio of 47.6. Yes, you read that right — 48 times earnings for a company that basically sells glorified shelves. Either the market thinks this is IKEA’s younger desi cousin or people are just stacking shares like their warehouses.
2. Introduction
Picture this: you walk into a swanky new warehouse in Visakhapatnam, expecting robots and AI-driven logistics magic, but what greets you instead? Steel racks, lockers, and shelves — built by none other than Alphalogic Industries Ltd (AIL). Founded in 2020, this Pune-based company has taken a simple business (storage solutions) and added enough certifications and branding to look like a Silicon Valley startup disguised as a steel fabricator.
They proudly flaunt ISO 14001:2015 and BIFMA certifications — which sounds fancy until you realize it basically means “we can make shelves that don’t collapse under your Haldiram snacks.”
Their clientele? FromSwiggytoShoppers Stop,MahindratoBaskin Robbins— if you’ve ever placed a samosa on a shelf or a Baskin ice cream tub in a cold storage, chances are Alphalogic racks were silently holding it up.
But here’s the kicker: despite growing sales almost 20x in just five years (from ₹3 Cr in FY21 to ₹62 Cr in FY25), the company still manages only 5% operating margins. Imagine working this hard, getting ISO-certified, bagging clients like Aditya Birla and Bajaj Finserv — and still making thinner profits than a Mumbai vada pav vendor.
