Groww files confidential DRHP with SEBI
Medial

Stock broking platform Groww has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) through the confidential route, according to public notices published in newspapers on May 25. The pre-filing mechanism, introduced by SEBI in 2022, allows companies to privately submit their DRHPs. The document remains confidential until the firm decides to go public, giving companies greater flexibility in IPO planning. Groww is currently the largest stockbroking platform in India, with over 13 million active users monthly, according to NSE data. It commanded a 26.57% market share in February 2024, ahead of rivals Zerodha (16.25%) and Angel One (15.62%). Backed by Peak XV Partners, Tiger Global, Ribbit Capital, and Y Combinator’s Continuity Fund, Groww has raised around $400 million to date. Its last round was a $251 million Series E in October 2021, which pegged its valuation at $3 billion. The company is now looking to raise $200 million in a pre-IPO round, targeting a valuation in the $6.5–7 billion range. As part of this, Viggo Investments Pte Ltd has sought clearance from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to acquire a 2.143% stake in Groww. On the financial front, Groww’s revenue from operations surged to Rs 3,145 crore in FY24, though the firm reported a net loss of Rs 805 crore, driven by a one-time tax expense of Rs 1,340 crore related to its redomicile to India. Several Indian startups have recently opted for the confidential filing route introduced by SEBI in 2022 to prepare for their public listings. This includes car marketplace CarTrade, logistics company Delhivery, Shiprocket, and consumer electronics brand boAt.

Digital investment platform Groww has filed a revised draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as it gears up for a Rs 7,000 crore initial public offering (IPO). The public issue will include a fresh issue of Rs 1,020 crore alongside a large offer for sale (OFS) by existing investors and co-founders. As per the estimates, the OFS will see secondary share sales worth about Rs 5,000 crore. Peak XV will divest 15.8 crore shares, while YC Holding and Ribbit Capital will offload 10.5 crore and 11.8 crore shares, respectively. Tiger Global, Kauffman Fund, and co-founders Lalit Keshre, Harsh Jain, and Neeraj Singh will also participate in the sell-down. This development comes weeks after the Bengaluru-based firm secured SEBI’s nod for its confidential filing. The IPO will be managed by Kotak, JP Morgan, Citi, Axis Capital, and Motilal Oswal, with MUFG Intime as registrar. Groww plans to deploy the fresh issue proceeds towards strengthening its cloud infrastructure, brand building, investments in subsidiaries, acquisitions, and general corporate purposes. According to the draft red herring prospectus, Peak XV remains Groww’s largest external stakeholder with a 21.73% stake, followed by YC Holding (12.05%). Ribbit Capital and Tiger Global also hold meaningful ownership, while co-founders Keshre, Jain, and Singh own 9.13%, 6.72%, and 6.26%, respectively. On the financial front, Groww posted a 50% year-on-year jump in revenue to Rs 3,902 crore in FY25, up from Rs 2,609 crore in FY24. The company also turned profitable, reporting Rs 1,824 crore versus a loss of Rs 805 crore in FY24. In Q1 FY26, Groww clocked Rs 904 crore in revenue with a profit of Rs 378 crore. The platform reported 18.07 million transacting users, including 14.38 million active clients, during the quarter.

Infra.Market files confidential DRHP with SEBI for Rs 5,000 Cr IPO Building materials unicorn Infra.Market has filed a confidential Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to raise Rs 5,000 crore through an initial public offering (IPO), according to sources aware of the development. The proposed issue is expected to be a mix of fresh equity shares and offer-for-sale (OFS) by existing investors, in almost equal proportion. The Bengaluru-based firm has taken advantage of SEBI’s confidential filing mechanism, introduced last year, which allows companies to keep sensitive financial and strategic details under wraps until closer to listing. Infra.Market’s move comes just weeks after it raised $83 million in a Series G round led by Silverline Homes, with participation from Tiger Global, Accel, Nexus Ventures, NK Squared, and Evolvence India. Earlier in June, the Bengaluru-based company also secured $150 million in debt funding from Mars Growth Capital. On the financial front, Infra.Market reported a 23% year-on-year jump in revenue to Rs 14,530 crore in FY24, while its profit surged 2.4X to Rs 378 crore. The FY25 numbers are yet to be disclosed. The firm operates in a competitive space with OfBusiness, Zetwerk, and Moglix. OfBusiness clocked Rs 19,296 crore in revenue in FY24, while Zetwerk and Moglix posted Rs 14,436 crore and Rs 4,964 crore, respectively. By opting for the confidential filing route introduced by SEBI last year, Infra.Market joins the likes of PhonePe, Meesho, Shadowfax, PhysicsWallah, Groww, Shiprocket, boAt, and Aequs, which have kept their draft filings under wraps until closer to listing.
