I was recently reading about Sastasundar Ventures.

Company operates in fast growing Online Pharmacy (B2B and B2C) segment. In the past, the company had a joint venture with Flipkart; the same has ended now and the company has started its own app.

The management has set an ambitious target of Rs 6,000 crore sales by 2030 against current TTM sales of around Rs 1,150 crore.

Below, we have shared our notes from the Q2 FY 26 con-call of the company to understand the outlook for the business.

 

Here’s the list of new recommendations released by us in last few weeks:

  • For Insider Bets members – On 26th Nov’25, we released our 6th stock report under Insider Bets subscription. It’s a fast growing company with 150% growth in sales and 300% growth in PAT in last 4-5 years. Valuations are attractive at around 10 times pre-tax earnings and Promoters are buying the stock from open market. You can access it by signing up HERE
  • For Alpha + members – On 11th Nov’25, we released a new Special Situation opportunity for Alpha + members. The latest special situation recommendation is a buy-back based opportunity. The holding period for this one should be around 1-2 months. The upside potential is around 17% from our recommended levels (assuming full acceptance). You can access it by signing up HERE
  • For Alpha/Alpha + members – On 9th Oct’25, we released a new long term investment recommendation for Alpha and Alpha + members. It deals in Protective Gear with strong sector tailwinds.
