What could break the thesis?
The risk is stable. The company continues to use an asset-light 3PL model, relying on a mix of owned fleet and independent third-party operators to maintain flexibility. (2 stable, 1 intensifying)
“But we have more than 30,000 vendors all over India who believe and trust in Ritco. These are single operator who works for us.”
The risk is intensifying as the company is undergoing 'massive hiring' to support its multimodal and TrucksUp expansion, poaching talent from competitors like Concor, Adani, and BlackBuck. (1 intensifying, 4 easing, 1 high-severity)
“So our share from that petrochem industry is almost 42% to 44% and in terms of sharing ratio of petrochemical, it is reducing, but in terms of value it is increasing”
