Financials (FY2016)
Investment Thesis
Zigma Software Limited is a deeply distressed nano-cap IT company incorporated in 1989 in Kolkata that operated in niche geospatial services (GIS, remote sensing, photogrammetry, data conversion) during the early Indian IT era. The company has been functionally dormant since at least 2016 — it has filed no financial statements, held no AGM, and has zero promoter holding, with revenues collapsed to near zero and its shares effectively untradeable. Despite an "Active" MCA status, it carries a "Non-Compliant" designation and poses significant governance and going-concern risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Zigma Software
Zigma Software Limited is a Kolkata-based software company incorporated in 1989, one of West Bengal's early IT companies established during the nascent phase of India's technology sector. With a CIN of L51909WB1989PLC046922, the company is registered at KMC Premises No. 26/7, Sahapur Colony, Plot No. 260, New Alipore, Kolkata, West Bengal — 700053. The company's directors include Pramod Kumar Singhi, Neeraj Sachan, Pankaj Sachan, and Ashok Kumar. The Sachan family (Neeraj and Pankaj) appears to represent the current promoter group, while Pramod Kumar Singhi and Ashok Kumar are additional directors. Zigma Software was incorporated during a period when Kolkata was attempting to establish itself as an IT hub — a vision that has been partially realised through the Salt Lake technology corridor (now Sector V). As an early mover in West Bengal's IT sector, the company likely operated in software development, IT services, and computing solutions. However, a critical observation is that the company's balance sheet was last filed on March 31, 2016 — nearly a decade ago. This is a major red flag indicating that the company has not maintained active MCA compliance for close to 10 years, even as it technically retains an "Active" status in MCA records. Companies that do not file annual returns and financial statements for extended periods typically face strike-off proceedings from the Registrar of Companies, though some companies manage to retain technical active status. The company is listed on the Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India (MSEI) under the ticker ZEL (referenced in some market data sources), though trading is extremely limited given the exchange's low volumes. The stock is also referenced in MoneyWorks4Me and related financial portals. The absence of financial filings since 2016 effectively makes this company opaque to investors. Without audited financial statements, there is no way to assess the company's current revenues, profitability, cash position, or outstanding liabilities. This level of opacity is a significant concern for any potential investor and suggests that the company may have effectively ceased meaningful operations, though it has not been formally dissolved or placed under insolvency. India's IT sector has evolved dramatically since 1989, with the industry now dominated by large global IT companies, and Kolkata's technology sector having grown significantly through the Sector V corridor and large BPO operations. Small legacy software companies from the 1989 era face extreme competitive pressures in this transformed landscape.
