Tristar provides an opportunity for synergies in manufacturing and marketing that can be highly value accretive in the long run, it said.

Rossari went public in July last year, marking the first IPO since India went into a lockdown in late March to control the Covid-19 pandemic.  

Prior to that, Rossari had raised Rs 100 crore in a pre-IPO round by allotting shares to eight institutional investors including private equity and hedge funds.
