Ethos Ltd. IPO - SWOT Analysis

Strengths

Ethos Ltd has a deep understanding of digital and Omnichannel commerce. It has strong and long-standing relationships with luxury watch brands and luxury groups.

Weaknesses

The company’s business partly depends on the continued success and reputation of its third-party brands globally. Its wholly owned subsidiary, Cognition Digital LLP may incur losses in the future.

Opportunities

India has one of the youngest populations globally with a median age of 28.1 yrs. This offers unprecedented opportunities for consumer industries such as fashion, real estate, telecom, etc. The growth of organized pre-owned market for luxury watches helps to unlock the collectible market thereby increasing both the vibrancy of the market and the addressable market opportunity.

Threats

The company has been subject to various litigation, regulatory and other proceedings and the same are pending at various levels of adjudication. The growth of online retailers may create pricing pressures and increase competition. Any increase in regulatory duties payments including the customs/import duties may affect its business.
