Conclusion
Fidel softech has been able to deliver very promising results when compared to their size of business. Their reliance in technology and cloud based operations is what has brought them so far ahead but this same reason could also be a bane for them in the future.
If companies like these fail to cope up with the constantly moving technological changes, They will eventually succumb to obsolescence. However they have been showing rapid growth, scale and synergies across various lines of business.
It seems to me that the positives outweigh the negatives and hence my opinion would be to go ahead with a medium to long range investment on this one. Once the share is listed the true value of the company will be brought forward.
