Mangesh Chauhan, the MD & CFO of Sky Gold said, “The integration of Starmangalsutra and Sparkling Chains perfectly aligns with our growth objectives. These acquisitions are expected to enhance our margins through the combined synergies of the enterprise. By consolidating our operations, we are expanding our total addressable market and increasing product presence across numerous retail outlets.

Mangalsutras, which have symbolized sanctity in Hindu tradition for centuries, have also evolved into a fashion statement in recent years, blending modern aesthetics with timeless Indian traditions. There is a growing demand for versatile mangalsutras and chains today. This acquisition will not only enable us to meet current demand but also drive continued growth and innovation across our product portfolio.”

We anticipate this strategic move to increase consolidated EBITDA margin by 50-75 basis points from the current 4.4% in FY24 and boost our PAT margin to 3% from the current 2.6% within next 12 - 18 months. Our revenue crossed Rs. 1,745.5 crores in FY24 and with this strategic acqusition we plan to expedite ongoing plans to increase capacity utilization to full capacity within 2 years from the completion of the merger. We are confident that, coupled with this acquisition, we are well-positioned to achieve our revenue target of INR 6300 crores by FY27 and exceed it. We also expect to achieve economies of scale and reduce overall borrowing costs post-acquisition for the group.”
