Given the company is the pioneer and market leader in its universal of eGovernance focusing on new sectors like health, education and skills, agriculture with the expansion plans to reach neighbouring countries for eGovernance, there can be some kind of first mover advantage, but upside looks limited post listing hence we recommend allotted investors to look for booking profits on listing day."
