OYO's parent PRISM files confidential papers with SEBI, eyes $7–8 Bn valuation PRISM, the parent of OYO, has filed confidential draft IPO papers with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), according to sources aware of the development. The filing follows shareholders’ approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) held on December 20, where the company received consent to raise up to Rs 6,650 crore through a fresh issue of equity shares. The proposed public offering is expected to value the company in the range of $7–8 billion, people familiar with the matter said. The company had initially appointed ICICI Securities, Axis Capital, Goldman Sachs, and Citibank as book running lead managers for the proposed IPO and has since added more banks to the syndicate. PRISM first initiated the IPO process in 2021 and filed offer documents with SEBI, followed by a revised filing with updated financial and operational disclosures. The company later withdrew its IPO plans amid elevated global market volatility. Since then, the company has expanded its operations across India and international markets and added to its premium portfolio through brands such as SUNDAY Hotels and Palette. It has also strengthened its overseas presence through the acquisition of US-based G6 Hospitality, the economy lodging franchisor that operates Motel 6 and Studio 6. For the quarter ended June 2025 (Q1 FY26), the company reported a net profit of over Rs 200 crore and revenue of Rs 2,019 crore. The confidential filing route has gained traction among new-age companies. Firms that have used or explored this mechanism include PhonePe, Meesho, Swiggy, Groww, PhysicsWallah, Shadowfax, Shiprocket, boAt, Aequs, Infra.Market, InCred Holdings, Zepto, and Tata Play.

US-based asset manager Baron Capital has marked up the valuation of Swiggy to $15.1 billion, according to regulatory filings with the US’ Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is a nearly 25% jump in the company’s valuation from $12.1 billion estimated by Baron as of December 2023. Soon after Baron’s mark up, Swiggy’s early backer Invesco also increased its valuation to $12.7 billion in April. The development was first reported by ET. This comes at a time when Swiggy is gearing up for its initial public offering (IPO). The Bengaluru-based firm received shareholders’ nod to float its $1.25 billion IPO and it reportedly filed papers with SEBI via confidential route in May. Before filing IPO papers, Swiggy was pitching a pre-IPO deal to high net-worth individuals (HNIs) to buy its shares at a 20% discount. Entrackr exclusively reported the development. Swiggy recorded Rs 5,476 crore in revenue from operations and Rs 1,600 crore loss during the first three quarters of the financial year FY24. Entrackr had exclusively reported financial numbers and secondary pitch by the company in April. In FY23, its revenue stood at Rs 8,265 crore in FY23 whereas its losses soared to Rs 4,179 crore. Besides Swiggy, Pine Labs, Meesho, FirstCry and Ola Electric also saw markups in their valuation in the last six months. Swiggy’s arch rival Zomato is currently valued at $18.7 billion, as per stock exchange data. The latter recently hit a market cap of $21 billion. Meanwhile, Baron has marked down edtech company Byju’s valuation to only $24 million as of March 2024. Earlier, BlackRock had already slashed the company’s valuation to $1 billion from $22 billion in early 2022.
