Prosus raises Ixigo stake by 5% via secondary transaction The development comes soon after Prosus’s investment of Rs 1,295.56 crore (approximately $146 million) in Ixigo for a 10.1% stake on a fully diluted basis. MIH Investments One B.V., a Prosus company, has increased its stake to 15% in Le Travenues Technology Limited, the parent of travel platform Ixigo. According to a disclosure by Prosus, it acquired the stake through an off-market transaction. As per sources, Prosus has purchased 5.06% of fully diluted stake from Peak XV (3.16%) and Elevation (1.9%). Peak XV declined to comment on the story while queries sent to Elevation, Ixigo, and Prosus did not elicit a response until publication of the story. Prosus will reportedly pay another Rs 620–660 crore to acquire an additional stake through a secondary deal. With this transaction, Prosus’s total holding in the Gurugram-based travel tech platform is expected to rise to around 15%. The move aligns with the investor’s strategy to deepen its presence in India. The investment firm aims to expand its India portfolio to about $50 billion over the next few years through a mix of investments and acquisitions. On the financial front, Ixigo’s operating revenue jumped 72.5% to Rs 314 crore in Q1 FY26 from Rs 182 crore in the same quarter last year. The company’s net profit also rose 27% to Rs 19 crore in Q1 FY26, compared to Rs 15 crore in Q1 FY25.

Elevation Capital trims Ixigo stake, clocks 25X return Elevation Capital (formerly SAIF Partners) has offloaded 21.5 lakh shares in Le Travenues Technology Ltd, the parent company of travel tech firm Ixigo, for Rs 38.27 crore (around $4.5 million). The partial exit marks a nearly 25X return on its investment. According to a disclosure on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), SAIF Partners sold 21.5 lakh equity shares at Rs 178 each through block deals. This marks Elevation’s third partial exit from Ixigo. The VC firm had earlier sold shares worth Rs 100 crore ($12 million) in a pre-IPO secondary transaction, followed by a Rs 180 crore ($21 million) sell-off during the IPO via the offer-for-sale (OFS) route, together delivering estimated returns of 13X. As of March 31, 2025, Elevation held around 14.2% in Ixigo, down sharply from 23.4% in February 2024. The sell-off comes at a time when Ixigo reported a 72% year-on-year jump in revenue to Rs 284 crore in Q4 FY25, while its profit rose 2.4X to Rs 17 crore. For the full fiscal year (FY25), the company posted Rs 914 crore in revenue. At the close of today’s trading session (Tuesday, May 19), Ixigo’s shares were priced at Rs 174.6 each, with a total market capitalization of Rs 6,811 crore (approximately $800 million).

Travel booking platform Ixigo is all set to acquire a majority stake in Zoop Web Services Private Limited. The board of directors at Ixigo approved the acquisition during a meeting held on October 24, 2024. The deal involves Ixigo purchasing a 51% stake in Zoop for a total consideration of Rs 12.54 crore, which includes a non-compete fee. This transaction is subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions, as outlined in the definitive agreements signed by both companies. The acquisition will be executed through a combination of secondary and primary share purchases. Zoop is known for providing e-catering and other solutions for the railway ecosystem. By integrating Zoop’s offerings into its platform, Ixigo aims to provide a more comprehensive travel experience to its users. This acquisition makes sense for Ixigo as 53% of its revenue collected in Q2 FY25 came from the train vertical. Zoop offers meal bookings, PNR status checks, and other railway-related services. It operates across 18 states and provides services at 192 railway stations. The company partners with nearly 400 active restaurants. In addition to acquiring the majority stake, Ixigo has secured an option to purchase the remaining 49% stake in Zoop in the future. This is the third major acquisition for Ixigo. In February 2021, it acquired a 100% stake in the train booking app Confirmtkt, while it took over the bus aggregator platform AbhiBus in August of the same year. Ixigo's revenue from operations saw a 26% growth to Rs 206.47 crore in Q2 FY25, compared to the same period in FY24. However, the company's profit after tax (PAT) experienced a significant decline of 51%, dropping from Rs 26.70 crore in Q2 FY24 to Rs 13.08 crore in Q2 FY25.

A potential investor is in talks to acquire up to a 16% stake in travel-tech firm Le Travenues Technology Limited (Ixigo) through primary and secondary transactions, according to a regulatory filing made by the company on Tuesday. In its disclosure to the BSE and NSE, Ixigo said it received an intimation from a potential investor expressing interest in purchasing shares either directly or through its affiliates. However, the company clarified that no definitive agreements or binding arrangements have been executed so far. “The proposed acquisition would be by way of primary and secondary acquisitions, and our aggregate shareholding, including affiliates, pursuant to the company’s proposed fundraise and the aforementioned secondary acquisitions, will not exceed 16%,” the disclosure quoted the investor as saying. The move comes at a time when Ixigo has been witnessing growing investor interest following its successful IPO in June 2024, where the company made a strong debut on the stock exchanges. Recently, Global asset manager Schroder Investment Management has increased its stake in Le Travenues Technology Limited. On the financial front, Ixigo’s revenue from operations surged 72.5% to Rs 314 crore in Q1 FY26, in contrast to Rs 182 crore in Q1 FY25. During the period, the company’s net profit grew 27% year-on-year to Rs 19 crore in Q1 FY26 from Rs 15 crore in Q1 FY25. If the deal materializes, it could mark one of the most significant secondary share movements in Ixigo post-listing.
