Rosmerta’s ₹200 Crore IPO Hits Rough Patch as Complaints Raise Investor Concerns
Mumbai: Rosmerta Digital Services Ltd’s proposed ₹200 crore SME IPO has run into controversy after multiple complaints were reportedly filed with SEBI, the Finance Ministry, and other authorities, raising fresh concerns for investors ahead of the public issue.
According to reports, the complaints name promoters Kartick Vivek Nagpal, Karan Vivek Nagpal, and trust promoter representative Aarti Nagpal. They have been accused of allegedly hiding important business details and presenting questionable financial figures in the company’s Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP).
For many potential investors, the issue is not just about numbers, but about trust and transparency. Complainants claim that some crucial disclosures may have been left out, while certain financial figures may have been shown in a stronger light to support a higher IPO valuation.
Another concern raised in the complaints is the company’s alleged connection to Vivek Nagpal, who has been linked by complainants to earlier accusations involving market manipulation, insider trading, and money laundering. These claims remain allegations and have not been officially proven.
Mumbai-based investor Rohit Vijay Nirmal said he has submitted a formal complaint, alleging that key information related to business interests and financial dealings may have been deliberately concealed. He has urged regulators to carefully review the matter before public money is invested.
Those opposing the IPO have asked authorities to temporarily halt the listing process until a full investigation is carried out. They say protecting retail investors and ensuring fair market practices should be the top priority.
The spotlight is now on SEBI and other regulators, whose next move could determine whether Rosmerta’s IPO proceeds as planned or faces delays.
