Strengths & Financials of Jay Ambe Supermarkets

Strengths
Risks
Jay Ambe Supermarkets claims to have built long-term partnerships with over 1,700 direct manufacturers and suppliers across India. These strategic vendor alliances help ensure a reliable supply chain, enabling the company to consistently offer high-quality products. The network provides leverage for negotiating better prices, allowing the company to maintain competitive pricing while meeting diverse customer demands
The company claims to offer a diverse product portfolio that includes FMCG items, groceries, toys, apparel, household goods, and more. This wide range caters to a diverse range of customer preferences, attracting a broad customer base. The diversity in products also enables opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling, contributing to increased customer satisfaction and retention.
Jay Ambe Supermarkets claims to have a customer-friendly refund policy that builds trust and enhances satisfaction. The policy allows customers to return or exchange products easily, reducing purchase hesitation. This approach not only boosts customer loyalty but also encourages repeat business and positive word-of-mouth recommendations.
The company has witnessed a consistent increase in revenue from operations and profit after tax (PAT). Revenue from operations increased from Rs 32.69 crore in FY23 to Rs 33.39 crore in FY24 and Rs 47.35 crore in FY25. PAT increased from Rs 0.35 crore in FY23 to Rs 1.55 crore in FY24 and Rs 2.75 crore in FY25.
The company derives a significant portion of its revenue from Gandhinagar, Gujarat. It accounted for Rs 24.05 crore (50.74 percent) of the company’s total income in FY25, Rs 18.43 crore (55.17 percent) in FY24, and Rs 18.76 crore (57.39 percent) in FY23. Furthermore, all existing stores of the company are concentrated in Gujarat. This heavy reliance on a single region exposes the company to risks associated with economic fluctuations, competitive pressures, or demographic changes in Gujarat, any of which could significantly impact its revenue and overall financial performance.
The company is involved in certain ongoing legal proceedings. Any adverse judgments in any of these cases could be detrimental to the company’s business prospects.
The company reported negative cash flow from operating activities amounting to Rs 3.05 crore in FY25, Rs 1.67 crore in FY24, and Rs 3.11 crore in FY23. This was primarily due to higher inventory levels driven by the opening of new stores. Additionally, negative cash flow from investing activities amounted to Rs 1.02 crore in FY25, Rs 0.18 crore in FY24, and Rs 1.31 crore in FY23. Any continued negative cash flow over extended periods could adversely affect the company’s ability to meet its cash flow requirements and execute its growth plans. This, in turn, could negatively impact the company’s financial position, operations, and future performance.
Certain stores of the company, namely the Shela, Ahmedabad, and Anand stores, were closed within a year of opening. The closures were due to various commercial and operational challenges, such as suboptimal locations, high operating costs, and internal disputes. Any future store closures due to similar reasons could lead to financial losses, disrupt business operations, and negatively affect the company’s cash flows and overall financial condition.
As of FY25, the company had trade receivables of Rs 1.73 crore, out of which Rs 0.34 crore was outstanding for over six months from the date they were due for payment. Any further delays or defaults in payments from customers could adversely impact the company’s cash flows, financial obligations, and overall business performance, requiring additional resources for credit monitoring and collections.
Jay Ambe Supermarkets' business is subject to seasonal and cyclical fluctuations in consumer demand, particularly during festivals and holiday periods. The company typically experiences higher sales volumes during the festive season, but any unanticipated decrease in demand during peak periods could lead to higher closing inventory and delayed sales. Such fluctuations may adversely impact revenue, profit margins, and customer retention, leading to potential operational inefficiencies.
As of FY25, the company had outstanding financial indebtedness amounting to Rs 8.70 crore. Any failure to service or repay these loans can hurt the company’s operations and financial position.
