The businesses generated ₹65 Cr in revenue in FY26 and serve more than 200 customers across sectors including electronics, white goods, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, automotive and food and beverages. Vimprotech brings in-house plastics design, mould-making and manufacturing capabilities across facilities in Puducherry and Tamil Nadu. TIPS adds an automotive container-pooling business with four warehouses across Bengaluru, Nashik and Tirunelveli. The acquisitions are expected to strengthen backward integration, reduce reliance on external suppliers and create cross-selling opportunities for pallets, crates, containers and MHE. Founded in 2013 by Sunu Mathew, LEAP India provides supply chain solutions spanning equipment pooling, inventory management, transportation, and repair and maintenance. It serves customers across sectors such as FMCG, beverages, ecommerce, automotive and retail. Asset pooling remained the core growth driver.

Asset utilisation stood at 89.3% for pallets and 82.3% for MHE as of September 2026, while container utilisation improved to 73.7%.

With a scalable business model, disciplined execution and a clear focus on operational excellence, we remain confident in our ability to deliver long-term value and strengthen the trust our shareholders have placed in us,” Mathew said.
