Is Policybazar IPO price overpriced?

P.E ratio could not be computed as the EPS is negative from the last three years however if I compute it will be negative P.E ratio, thus I cannot ascertain whether it is overpriced or underpriced.

Policybazar IPO review

The company had a good brand value and increase revenue over the last three years but the profit is also declining consistently, and as it is a loss-making company investment is not an option. But seeing its brand value and marketing skills it may list on a premium.
