Rosmerta’s ₹200 Crore IPO Faces Fresh Questions as Complaints Reach Regulators
Just ahead of its proposed ₹200 crore SME IPO, Rosmerta Digital Services Ltd has landed in fresh controversy after multiple complaints were reportedly sent to regulators and government authorities, raising concerns over the company’s disclosures and financial practices.
According to reports, complaints have been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Board of India, the Finance Ministry and other agencies. The allegations reportedly mention key promoters Kartick Vivek Nagpal, Karan Vivek Nagpal and trust promoter representative Aarti Nagpal.
Complainants have alleged that the company may have hidden important business information, misrepresented financial details and failed to disclose material facts in its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP), a key document investors rely on before subscribing to an IPO.
Some complaints have also raised concerns over alleged links to wider financial irregularities such as market manipulation, insider trading, money laundering and misuse of loans through connected entities. However, these allegations remain unproven and no court ruling has established wrongdoing.
Mumbai-based investor Rohit Vijay Nirmal is also reported to have approached authorities, claiming that promoters and related parties suppressed crucial information and engaged in financial misconduct.
Another investor reportedly questioned the role of the IPO’s investment bankers, alleging that several details important for public investors were missing from the prospectus papers.
The complaints further claim that Rosmerta Digital Services may have shown inflated financial numbers to support a higher IPO valuation. Additional concerns were reportedly raised over corporate governance standards, conflicts of interest and the lack of strong independent decision-making within the group.
Complainants have now urged regulators to halt the IPO process temporarily and carry out a detailed probe before allowing the company to proceed with its listing, saying such scrutiny is important to protect retail investors and maintain trust in India’s capital markets.
