Chatterbox Technologies, listed on BSE SME (scrip code 544546), filed its quarterly IPO fund-utilization report for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Total IPO size was about ₹42.87 crore, split across six heads: existing business capex (₹11.07 Cr), new office/studio (₹7.14 Cr), brand building (₹5.02 Cr), working capital (₹6.33 Cr), general corporate purposes (₹5.67 Cr), and issue expenses (₹7.64 Cr). By end of Q3 FY26, the company has cumulatively used ₹27.67 crore — including the full ₹11.07 Cr for existing business, ₹3.47 Cr of the new office head, ₹4.69 Cr for working capital, ₹0.59 Cr for brand building, ₹0.30 Cr for GCP, and ₹7.55 Cr for issue expenses. About ₹15.17 crore remains unutilized and has been parked in 17 fixed deposits earning between 5.50% and 6.50% interest. The monitoring agency (Joy Mukherjee & Associates) has certified the figures as accurate, and no deviation, cost revision, or delay has been reported from the original offer-document plan.
This is a routine SEBI compliance filing with no reported deviation or cost overrun, so it carries no immediate negative signal. However, utilization is uneven — brand building and general corporate-purpose spends are below 12% of allocation, suggesting the company is being cautious and slow in deploying non-core funds. Shareholders should track progress on the new office/studio (₹3.66 Cr still unspent) and working-capital usage in the coming quarters.
