    Readily Solutions Targets INR 450-500 Crore Revenue in FY27 Ahead of Proposed IPO

    Readily Solutions, a technology-driven integrated clean energy company, has announced a milestone in its growth journey as it accelerates preparations for its planned Initial Public Offering (IPO). Backed by an investment from renewable energy veteran Sunil Sharma, strengthened corporate governance through his appointment to the Board of Directors, and the appointment of Amros Consulting LLP as its investment banking advisor. The firm will work closely with the company on capital markets strategy, corporate structuring, investor engagement, governance enhancement, strategic fundraising initiatives and preparation for its proposed public market listing.

    Readily also announced a revenue target of INR 450-500 Crores for FY 2026-27, representing significant growth over its consolidated revenue of approximately INR 143 Crores in FY 2025-26. The projected growth is supported by a strong execution pipeline across renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, electric mobility, EV charging infrastructure and clean energy services.

    The company has undergone a transformation over the past few years, evolving from an electric mobility-focused enterprise into a technology-driven integrated clean energy company. The company has introduced two focused business verticals-Readily Energy and Readily Mobility-to address India’s rapidly expanding clean energy ecosystem.

    Unlike conventional renewable energy or electric mobility companies operating in individual segments, Readily has developed an integrated business model spanning renewable energy generation, solar EPC, intelligent energy management, EV charging infrastructure, battery swapping, fleet solutions, clean energy services and sustainable infrastructure. This integrated approach enables the company to participate across multiple high-growth segments of India’s energy transition while creating a scalable, technology-enabled platform.

    Commenting on the announcement, Hiteshh Sharma, Founder and CEO, Readily Solutions, said, “The next phase of Readily’s journey is centred on building a professionally governed, technology-driven clean energy enterprise capable of creating long-term value for all stakeholders. Our revenue guidance for FY 2026-27 reflects the strength of our execution capabilities, expanding project portfolio and confidence in India’s rapidly growing clean energy market. Welcoming Sunil Sharma as a strategic investor and Board member further strengthens our leadership, while partnering with Amros Consulting LLP marks an important step in our capital markets journey. Together, these milestones position Readily strongly as we prepare for our planned IPO.”

    Commenting on the development, Sunil Sharma, Director, Readily Solutions, said, “India’s clean energy transition presents one of the country’s most significant long-term growth opportunities. Readily has built a differentiated integrated platform combining renewable energy, electric mobility and sustainable infrastructure under a single strategic vision. My investment in the company reflects my confidence in its leadership, execution capabilities and long-term growth potential. I look forward to contributing to Readily’s next phase of expansion and supporting its journey towards becoming a publicly listed company.”

    Roopa Gupta, Partner, Amros Consulting LLP, said, “Businesses preparing to access public markets must combine scalable operations with strong governance, disciplined execution and a clear growth strategy. Readily has established a compelling platform in one of India’s fastest-growing sectors, supported by a robust business pipeline and experienced leadership. We are pleased to partner with the company as it strengthens its institutional readiness and advances towards its planned public listing.”
