What if I invest in CALSOFT?

Set a growth rate and see what a monthly SIP would add up to. Your assumption, our arithmetic.

You would put in
₹12.00 lakh
120 instalments
At 10% a year, it would become
₹20.15 lakh

The starting rate is a round number, not a view on this company — this is your assumption, and the figure above is arithmetic on it. Returns are not steady year to year, and a real holding would not grow in a straight line. We do not publish price targets or predict returns.

One year's profit is a one-off (far above the multi-year norm), so its recurring earnings power is unclear.

What shareholders were asked to approve

A company cannot decide everything on its own. Things like a top executive’s pay, issuing new shares, or re-appointing a director have to be put to the people who own the company, and they vote — one vote per share. So whoever owns the most shares has the most say.

Postal ballot · 18 Dec 2025
See the official result
1
To consider and approve the proposal for raising funds, in one or more tranches, by way of issuance of equity shares and/or other permissible convertible securities through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) for an aggregate amount up to Rs.200,00,00,000 (Rupees Two Hundred Crores only), subject to necessary approvals:
Backed by 100% of shareholders other than promotersneeded 75%

2
To consider and approve Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and/or issuance of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs) aggregating up to USD 100 million, in compliance with FEMA and RBI guidelines

7.51 L votes for, 83 against
3
To consider and approve increase in the Authorised Share Capital of the Company from the existing capital to Rs. 225 Crores and to make consequential amendments to Clause V of the Memorandum of Association of the Company, subject to shareholders’ approval
Backed by 100% of shareholders other than promotersneeded 50%
7.51 L votes for, 83 against
4
To make Investments, give Loans, Guarantees and Security in Excess of Limits Specified Under Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013
Backed by 99% of shareholders other than promotersneeded 75%
7.43 L votes for, 7,608 against

Every vote count above is taken from the result the company filed with the stock exchange, certified by an independent counter. To work out what would have happened without the promoters, we simply remove their votes and re-apply the same legal bar the proposal had to clear. Nothing here is an estimate or an opinion.

Who controls this company, and what it pays them

Most Indian companies are controlled by a family or group — the promoters. The exchange requires them to be listed by name, including members who own no shares at all, and requires the company to disclose any business it does with them.

The promoter group — 1 named members
owning 62.3% between them · as of 2026-06-30
VASUDEVAN M62.26%

Names and holdings from the company’s shareholding pattern filed with the exchange; transactions from the related-party note in its annual report. Every figure is as filed — these are legal, disclosed dealings, and what to make of them is your call.

Money it raised, and what it did with it

When a company raises money from investors, it has to say up front what the money is for. The rules then make it report, every three months until the money is gone, how much of each of those things it has actually paid for — so a promise made while asking for the money can be checked afterwards.

Money raised in Apr 2026 by offering new shares to existing shareholders

The company has not broken this money down into purposes in its filing for Jun 2026, so there is nothing to measure it against yet.

The amount this filing states as raised is many times the whole company’s market value, so it is almost certainly entered in the wrong unit. We show the purposes and how far along each one is, and leave the rupee figures out rather than repeat a number that cannot be right.

Money raised in Feb 2026 by offering new shares to existing shareholders

The company has not broken this money down into purposes in its filing for Mar 2026, so there is nothing to measure it against yet.

The amount this filing states as raised is many times the whole company’s market value, so it is almost certainly entered in the wrong unit. We show the purposes and how far along each one is, and leave the rupee figures out rather than repeat a number that cannot be right.

Every figure above is taken from the statement the company files with the stock exchange each quarter, for as long as money it has raised remains unspent. The only thing we work out is how much of each stated purpose has been paid for — one number divided by another from the same filing. Whether a plan that changed was a good change is not something a filing can tell you. See the filing
