MakaDi and Borecha maker LB Brewers eyes ₹500 cr sales, IPO plans on cards

Goa-based Latambarcem Brewers (LB Brewers), which owns craft beer MakaDi and functional beverage drink 'Borecha', plans to cross the Rs 500 crore revenue mark in the next 4-5 years and also has listing plans in the mid-term to fund its expansion plans, said a company official. The company, which started its journey from a home-brewing experiment at a US apartment, has evolved into a fast-growing beverage business in India, and has plans to cross Rs 60 crore this fiscal from nearly Rs 24 crore in the previous year, driven by rapid expansion across Indian states and overseas markets, said its Chief Growth Officer Sarika Varshnei. LB Brewers has a pan-India presence of Borecha, while its beer brand 'MakaDi', which has presence in 10 states, is expected to become profitable this fiscal. "In the next five years, we expect to cross the Rs 500-crore revenue mark, and potentially exceed it. I am probably being conservative in that estimate. I am not a finance person; my focus has always bee

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI filed preliminary paperwork that would open the door to it becoming a publicly traded company, making itself the third in a powerhouse trio of artificial intelligence companies racing to Wall Street debuts. The company said Monday it has filed confidential paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

E-commerce platform Meesho has partnered with the BSE to launch a new initiative aimed at helping micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and digital businesses transition into publicly-listed companies. The initiative, named 'Project Shikhar', was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and aims to facilitate the listing of high-performing independent e-commerce sellers on the BSE SME platform, addressing their need for growth capital.
