Fidelity marks up IPO-bound Lenskart's valuation to $6.1 Bn The development comes as Lenskart prepares for its initial public offering (IPO), with plans to raise $1 billion at a targeted valuation of $10 billion. Fidelity has revised the valuation of omnichannel eyewear retailer Lenskart to $6.1 billion, as per its latest monthly portfolio holdings update. In November, Fidelity valued the Peyush Bansal-led company at $5.6 billion. In June 2024, Lenskart raised $200 million via a secondary round, followed by a $20 million investment led by Bansal. As of now, the company has secured nearly $1 billion and reached a valuation of $5 billion during the secondary deal in which Fidelity also participated. Just last week, the company converted its holding entity from a private limited to a public limited company, a move exclusively reported by Entrackr. Media reports also suggested that Lenskart is set to file its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) confidentially with the markets regulator by the end of this month. Lenskart inched closer to profitability in FY24, with losses narrowing sharply by 84% to Rs 10 crore from Rs 63 crore in FY23. The companyโ€™s revenue from operations rose by 43% to Rs 5,427.7 crore in FY24. Its FY25 result has yet to be reported. Lenskart is also exploring the acquisition of location intelligence startup GeoIQ.

Foodtech and quick commerce decacorn Swiggy has converted into a public entity, as per the resolution passed by the board of directors of the company with the Registrar of Companies. This marks the companyโ€™s concrete step towards a definitive IPO plan in the second half of this year. The name of the holding company has been changed from Swiggy Private Limited to Swiggy Limited. In February, Bundl Technologies Private Limited changed its name to Swiggy Private Limited. The company said that will help it to establish greater proximity and identification of the companyโ€™s corporate name with the companyโ€™s core brand. Swiggy has been readying itself for public listing for quite some time and the Bengaluru-based firm may file IPO papers soon. As per media reports, the company will seek a valuation in the range of $12-15 billion. The firm recently appointed Suparna Mitra as an independent director to its board. While Swiggy claimed that its food delivery business turned profitable as of March 2023, the firm reported Rs 4,179 crore in overall loss during FY23. Moreover, the company booked Rs 5,476 crore in revenue from operations during the first three quarters of the financial year FY24 and recorded $200 million (approximately Rs 1,600 crore) loss for the nine months. Entrackr had exclusively reported about Swiggyโ€™s financial three quarters (FY24) numbers in the last week of March. Last month, US-based asset management firm Baron Capital marked up the valuation of Swiggy to $12.1 billion up from $10.7 billion during the last fundraise in January 2022. Itโ€™s one of the few IPO-bound companies that saw back to back valuation markup by early investors.
