Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.

Slow Ramp of New Products
New products (RCS, WhatsApp, AI) contribute only 8% of revenue; growth moderated to 11% YoY, insufficient to offset legacy SMS decline in near term.
Capital Allocation and Cash Pile
Cash balance of ~₹1,400 Cr (~40% of market cap) with no large M&A announced; risk of persistent low return on excess cash if deals don't materialize.
