According to Economic Times, Utsav Agarwal, chief executive officer (CEO), of Evenflow, mentioned, “Currently, we view ourselves more as a mutual fund than a high-growth stock. Our focus is on low risk and stable returns, rather than high risk and volatile returns. This approach is in line with the preferences of our current investors and Shail Patel, which is why they have shown confidence through their investment. We are excited to utilize this capital for our people and for growth, and ultimately prepare for an IPO by the end of 2027.”
