The initial public offering (IPO) was open for subscription from January 19 to January 21 and received good response from investors. It was subscribed 8.22 times on the last day of the bidding.
The company is going through a rough phase because of COVID-19. Our business is largely linked to cash management and due to the pandemic some transactions were impacted, says Ravi B Goyal, chairman & managing director at AGS Transact Technologies to Business Insider in an interview.

The company provides customised products and services comprising ATM and cash recycler machines (CRM) outsourcing, cash management and digital payment solutions including merchant solutions, transaction processing services and mobile wallets.
