Sambhv sets IPO price range, values company at Rs 2,400 crore
MUMBAI: Sambhv Steel Tubes, a manufacturer of electric resistance welded steel pipes and structural tubes, has priced its initial public offering (IPO) between Rs 77 and Rs 83 a share, allowing the company to raise up to Rs 540 crore. The IPO, which is a combination of fresh issue and offer for sale, will be open for public subscription from June 25 to June 27. The promoters, Brijlal Goyal and his family, will sell Sambhv shares worth Rs 100 crore in the IPO. At the upper price of Rs 83 per share Sambhv's market capitalisation will be just over Rs 2,400 crore. The proceeds from the fresh issue, totaling Rs 440 crore, will be used to repay borrowings and for general corporate purposes. As of March-end 2024, Sambhv had a debt of Rs 347 crore. In FY24, the company, based in Raipur, made a profit of Rs 82 crore on revenue of Rs 1,286 crore. In addition to the steel pipes and structural tubes business, Brijlal Goyal and his family are also involved in the plastic business. However, the steel business under Sambhv is their largest venture. Sambhv is a name created by combining the first letter of the names of six family members. The 'B' in Sambhv stands for Brijlal, while 'S' and 'V' represent Suresh and Vikas, who are Brijlal's two children. Suresh serves as the chairman of Sambhv, while Vikas holds the position of MD.

Meet actor who once sold products door to door, one film changed his life, became a star, was called ‘next Shah Rukh Khan', built Rs 1200 core business, he is…
He may have entered Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma's Company (2002), but Vivek Oberoi's biggest role has unfolded far beyond the silver screen. While many remember him for films like Saathiya and Masti, few know that this actor-turned-entrepreneur built a business empire worth Rs 1200 crore, largely without help, not even from his superstar father, Suresh Oberoi. Despite being born into a film family, Vivek's journey was anything but privileged. In a recent podcast interview, the actor peeled back the layers of his public persona to reveal a sharply honed business mind, one that took root when he was just 10. At an age when most kids were lost in video games, Vivek was busy selling door-to-door and pitching marketing strategies to his father. 'Dad would bring home a product and ask me to make a business plan. Then he'd quiz me — 'How will you sell this?' That's how I learned,' Vivek shared. But there was no silver spoon. In his own words, 'He told me, 'I'm rich. You're not. You'll become rich — but on your own.' The words stuck. By the age of 19, Vivek had already earned $3 million for his first company. He sold it four years later at 23. Today, he claims to have taken nine companies public in the Indian stock market and is preparing to launch four more. On the professional front, Vivek hasn't delivered many hits lately. His last prominent appearance was in PM Narendra Modi (2019), where he played the lead role. In 2024, he appeared in the historical action film Kesari Veer alongside Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi, though the project didn't make major waves. For now, his film calendar appears empty. But even without a blockbuster, Vivek Oberoi is far from irrelevant. His sharp pivot from screen to stocks has redefined his legacy, one built not on box office numbers but on boardroom deals.
