Jimin's second release after this first solo album FACE. Several parts of the concept reference the smeraldo flower, a fictional plant from the Bangtan Universe (BU)

Right before the announcement, a discussion channel was opened on the official BTS account on Instagram to tease it. It featured a picture of a music sheet titled "La Lettra", that ended up being "전하지 못한 진심" (the truth untold) (src #1, src #2, src #3) from the album Love Yourself 轉 Tear. As for the "You will always find the first letter" hint, it was implying to check the first letter of each circled word to get "Closer Than This", a track of the album released in December 2023. The last picture sent on the channel is of a handwritten letter (eng trans).

It seems Jimin worked on MUSE and FACE at the same time since in the documentary Jimin's Production Diary that followed Jimin during FACE conception, he has the same nails as in the MUSE teaser (see this Bangtan Bomb at 0:13, cr.). In addition, there was a handwritten letter in the documentary that was titled 전하지 못한 진심(The Truth Untold) (src).

People also pointed out that in his Festa letter, released just a few days before the announcement, Jimin promised to come back with a letter, possibly hinting at the "La Lettra" music sheet (src).

On the day of the album release, the BT21 account posted a cute video of Chimmy (the character created by Jimin) with a smeraldo flower.

The album comes in two versions : BLOOMING and SERENADE. There is also an exclusive Weverse version. On the BLOOMING ver. the ME letters are bigger while on the SERENADE ver. the US letters are.

The pre-release track and the main track titles were teased through a crossword poster on the Instagram channel (archive).

Jimin mentioned this title in the Jimin's Production Diary documentary (src). It's also mentioned in the Weverse magazine article "When you look into Jimin’s heart, this is what you find".

The concept is inspired by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, an album from the Beatles (src).

Like in the choreo for "Permission to Dance", the dance here features some sign language that says "love" (src #1, src #2).

Creative Graphics Solutions India Limited IPO opens for retail investors today – 28 March 2024

Today, 28 March, the retail portion of the Creative Graphics Solutions IPO opens for subscription. The anchor portion of the public issue that opened yesterday has apparently received a good response from investors including financial institutions. 

On 22 March 2024, the Noida-headquartered Creative Graphics Solutions India Limited, one of India’s leading organized and integrated packaging ecosystem players, announced that its initial public offering (IPO) will open on Thursday, 28 March 2024. The anchor portion will be opened on Wednesday, 27 March 2024, and the issue will conclude on Thursday, 4 April 2024. The company intends to raise approximately Rs 54.4 crore (at the upper band) from the offering and aims to be listed on the NSE Emerge platform. The price band for the issue has been fixed at Rs 80 to Rs. 85 per share, and the lot size will be 1,600 equity shares.

Corporate Capital Ventures is the Book Running Lead Manager, and Bigshare Services Private Limited is the Registrar for the issue. According to the press release from Creative Graphics, Corporate Capital Ventures Private Limited has completed a string of successful SME IPOs in recent months, including Alpex Solar, Esconet Technologies, Rockingdeals, Accent Microcell, Oriana Power, Droneacharya and Crayons Advertising.

Creative Graphics is a product of the MSMEx SME IPO Cohort program, mentored by Amit Kumar, founder and CEO at MSMEx.

The Noida-based company’s IPO comprises a fresh issue of 64,00,000 Equity Shares with a face value of Rs 10 through the book-building route. As many as 3.2 lakh equity shares are reserved for the Market Maker, 9.12 lakh equity shares allocated for NIIs, 30.4 lakh equity shares for QIBs (including 18.24 lakh equity shares as the Anchor investor portion), and the Retail (RII) portion accounts for 21.28 lakh equity shares.

According to the Red Herring Prospectus document, the company intends to utilise the net proceeds from the IPO to meet the working capital requirements of the company, repay/prepay, in part or full of certain of the company’s borrowings, meet the capital expenditure of the company, fund inorganic growth through unidentified acquisition for the company, and general corporate expenses.

Creative Graphics specializes in manufacturing flexographic printing plates, including digital flexo plates, conventional flexo printing plates, letter press plates, metal back plates, and coating plates. The company serves its customer base in India, Thailand, Qatar, Kuwait, Nepal, and Africa. It operates seven manufacturing facilities in various states – Noida (Uttar Pradesh), Vasai, Pune (Maharashtra), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), Hyderabad (Telangana), and Ahmedabad (Gujarat).

Founded by Deepanshu Goel, a first-generation entrepreneur and incorporated in 2014, Creative Graphics has expanded its business through its wholly owned subsidiaries – Creative Graphics Premedia Private Limited (CG Premedia) and Wahren India Private Limited. While CG Premedia offers end-to-end premedia services, from design adaptation to print production, Wahren India supplies high-quality packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry. It produces Alu-Alu Foil, Blister Foil, Tropical Alu-Alu Foil, CR Foil, and Pharmaceutical Sachets.

The company clocked a revenue of Rs 48.07 crore and earned a profit (PAT) of Rs. 7.24 crore during the first half (H1) of the current FY 2023-24 financial year, which ended 30 September 2023. It registered revenue of Rs. 90.14 crore and a profit (PAT) of Rs. 8.64 crore in FY2022-23.

Our take

We have known Creative Graphics for the past decade and have also admired its fast growth in establishing new plants across the country. We appreciate the need for companies in the printing and packaging industry to expand and raise capital for scaling up their operations. Creative Graphics' team has always been enthusiastic about vertical integration and diversification to new areas of packaging. The company’s IPO will hopefully open a path for other companies in the industry needing to raise capital for scaling up.

HDFC Bank has invested $3.7 million for a minority stake in the fintech start-up Mintoak

One of India’s biggest private banks, HDFC Bank, bought a small share of Mintoak Innovations Private Limited on Wednesday for Rs 31.1 crore.

The bank said in a regulatory filing that it had signed contracts on December 13 to buy 21,471 fully paid-up Compulsory Convertible Preference Shares (CCPS) with a face value of Rs. 20 each at a premium of Rs. 9,711 for a total of Rs. 9,731 per CCPS that will be issued by Mintoak.

With this deal, HDFC Bank will have a 7.75% stake in the company.

Mintoak is a fintech start-up that offers a payments-led platform with value-added services for merchants to connect with their customers and for acquirers to improve their relationships with merchants through digital engagements. 

Mintoak had a turnover of Rs 11.28 crore and a net profit of Rs 1.47 crore for the fiscal year that ended on March 31, 2022.

The deal should be done by January 31, 2023. The release said,

Mintoak is a new fintech company that was started in Mumbai in 2017 by Raman Khanduja, Rama Tadepalli, and Sanjay Nazareth. It links commercial banks with small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) by letting merchants accept all kinds of payment methods.

In 2020, Pravega Ventures led a funding round for Mintoak that brought in $2 million.

On the other hand, HDFC Capital, a subsidiary of HDFC Group, said in November that it would back 15 Indian proptech start-ups.

Before this, HDFC Bank’s banking arm announced in August that it would put between INR 49.9 Cr and INR 69.9 Cr into the insurtech start-up Go Digit Life Insurance in exchange for nearly 9.94% of the company’s equity.

In June, HDFC said that it would revamp its digital services and work with new tech start-ups to offer services like a payment platform to its customers.
