Should you invest:  

At Rs 358 with FY 2017 EPS of 12, the issue is priced at PE of 30, which seems aggresive.  The company has given good growth rate in revenue and profits as well as potential to diversify earning as well. However, as it is bit expensive compared to its listed peers, investors can avoid this IPO, even though the company financials are strong.  If someone wants to invest, they should invest for long term.
